IMPARCIAL'S HOT WORDS
SPANISH GOVERNMENT TAKEN
TO TASK FOR APATHY.
WHILE U. S. is PREPARING FOR WAR
Queen Regent Presdes at Cabinet Council
Which Discussed Relations Between U. 5.
and SPAIN Minister Woodford's Ban
net in Honor of Bernahe.
uet in Honor of Bernabe.

Madrid. Feb. 24.-The Queen regent
to-day presided Mt a Cabinet council
which discussed the relations between
Spain and the United States.
The United States Minister, General
Stewart L. Woodford gave u banquet
to-day in honor of the new Spanish
Minister at Washington, Senior Polo
Bernabe. In addition to the latter, the
guests included the Austrian, Russian,
trench, Italian, Turkish, Dutch, and
British Ministers or Charge d Affaires
and their wives, and the Duke of Vera
qua, the lineal descendant of COlum
bus. who was the guest Of the United
States at the time OF the Chicago Far
and the Premier, Senior Sagasta.
There were also present Senor MOfet
Prednergast, the Minister for the Colo
nies. and his wife; Senor GuHon, the
Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Sonora
Gullon; the Marquis ZarcO, the introduce
er of Ambassadors; the Countess Sass
tago, First Lady in waiting to the Queen
regent: the Duchess of San Carlos, the
Marquis Waldo lglesias, and the staff
of the United States legation.
Much political Importance was at
tached here to the incident, and the ban
quet, coupled with the peaceful utter
ances of President Mckinley according
to a semi-official report have been OPP
timistically utilized by the ministerial
press.
But the Impartial to-day takes the
Spanish government to task for its
apathy, contrasted with the patriotic
feeling of the country and warns the
nation against the 'hypocritical yankee
policy which really aims at the indepen-
dence of Cuba.
Continuing the Imparcial says:
President Mckinley may make and
reiterate protestations of friendship and
pacific intentions, but his actions con-
tradict his words. While the President
of the United States is cajoling us with
words, he sharpens his dagger to stab us
behind While talking concord he util-
izes his Sundays in unusual United
States war preparations at the docks and
cancels the furloughS of the marines.
Can we trust those who arc preventing
the pacification of Cuba and fomenting
rebellion and tiiibustcring expeditions,
sending wan ships under the pretext of
friendship anu preaching peace! we
must prepare for war. There is TO
time to acquire new war ships, but we
should lit out Immediately what we
have. sending the pelayo, Colon, Carlos
Y. and Maria Teresa to follow the Al
mirontc 0quendO and Vizcaya to Gu
ban waters and the rest of the fleet to
guard the peninsula. Other policy than
preparedness is only to play the Amer-
cans game. which is to exhaust our re-
sources and gain the independence of
Cuba without anything. How long does
the government mean to favor the Am
erican plans? How long will the agon-
izing nation tolerate the apathy of the
government"
The language from a semi-offcial or
gan is much commented upon.
The PaiX, frankly declares that Gu
ban Independence is imminent.

New Music.

We acknowledge receipts OF new
American National Hymn, composed by
Henry Del Lorme, one Of this country'a
most celebrated tenors, that has g. true
spirit Of the times, and is full Of patriot
ism and character. It is best suited for
solo and chorus, but can be. sung by
either at will. It's compass is medium,
but majestic, rich in harmony, simple,
yet effective. This musical gem for the
nation, should find it's way at once into
the churches, schools and homes OF our
glorious land of the free, and if not OBJ
tainable here, 25 cents in stamps sent to
the Conover Music Co. of st. Paul will
bring it to your door. The retail price
of this piece is so cents, but this com.
pany sells all it's sheet music at half

removal sale, and offer pianos, organs
and their entire stock regardless Of cost,
