Aa reason why Europe will not
combine to fight, or, even antagonize
the United States, the Philadelphia
Ledger holds that "there is very little
danger that Europe will combine to
fight anything until conditions change
materially. The Powers cannot afford
to incur the i'll will of this country.
To use homely but expressive phrase,
they would be quarreling with their
bread and butter. America docs not
literally feed the world, but the with
drawal Of American supplies would
leave large part OF it hungry. Louk at
the current news Bread riots in Spain :
famine in Italy; France jumping at an
offer of 2. 600, 900 bushels OF American
wheat Sl.47 Great Britain chserfully
paying ST. 40 for the same article-and
all this in year when there are no
reports OF great crop failures. Now,
suppose these countries enter into either
commercial or military war with the
United States-what happens? In the
iormer case, they enact discriminating
tariffs, which react on their own people
and make life harder for them. In the
later case, they simply cut off their own
supplies Is it likely that any OF thom
are foolish enough to do either2''

''Favorite Prescription" is the most
successful remedy that has ever been

It's sale exceeds the combined sales of
all other medicines for women. It
cures the most obstinate uterine dis
eases. 1t goes directly to the internal
organism, which is the real seat of all
the troubles. 1t imparts vigOr and
health where they are most needed;
stops the weakening drains; promotes
regularity; restores muscular power to
the ligaments. thus correcting displace-
ments of special organs in the only ma
tural way.

"Favorite Prescription" and testimon-

PATROL AT KEY WEST.
Havana Entrance to the Harbor
Closely Watched.

Key West, March 31.-Every prepare
ton for action was taken by the war
ships today. The wood work was
stripped off exposed spots and sent
ashore. The wood pilot houses on the
cruisers We're taken down. To a GER
tain extent interior woodwork was
also removed and sent ashore. Even
the steersman's wooden box was re-
moved from some ships. These precau-
tions have been adopted to prevent as
far as possible, the danger of flying
splinters in case of action.
The officers sent their personal valu-
abIes and belongings to be stored on
shore The CaStine and two torpedo
boats left their anchorage after dark
and steamed to the southwark, where
they will patrol during the night. This
precaution was ordered by Captain
Sampson today. He is particularly
anxious TO watch closely the Havana
entrance to this harbor, and also TO
afford additional safety for the Iowa,
Indiana and New York, which lie I'M
protected SIX miles out.
The naval station officials have re-
ceived orders to overhaul their marine
engineering stock, so that il could be
used instantly in case of emergency.
Torpedo boats not engaged in patrol
ling tonight made another on the bat
tleships, but all these measures were
guarded with the greatest secrecy. The
establishment of a patrol is considered
by the few who know of ii as most
significant. The entire fleet is now in
readiness to move at - minutes
notice.
The gunboat Annapolis has left for
Brooklyn. The five bodies from the
Maine wreck brought here last night
were buried today with the usual SIM
pie ceremony and without incident
An important consultation was held
this morning between Captain Sampson
and the other chief officers of the fleet
on board the flagship New York

AT STATE DEPARTMENT.
Foreign Ambassadors Cull-Views On
Mediation.

Washington, March 31.-Among the
callers at the state department. this
being diplomatic day, were the Ger
man ambassador. the Austrian minis
ter. the Venezuelan minister and Mr.
Macarthur, secretary of the United
States legation at Madrid, who has
just arrived from Spain The presence
OF the Austrian minister, Mr. Won
Hengel- Muller. was of more than pass
ing interest. owing to the close rela-
tons between Spain and Austria and
the reports from Vienna that the Aus
trian minister at Washington was in
structed to aid in any movement in
lt1ated by France toward mediation
MIR. Won Hengel-Muller saw both Sec
rotary Sherman and Assistant Secre-
tary Day. The state department of
ficials were reticent as to the purpose
of his call 1t is not believed. however.
that any European power has taken
steps toward mediation. though it is
even apprehended at any time The
French ambassador. NJ. Cambon. was
not among today's callers at the state
department. so that it was apparent
that France had not yet determined to
make the first overtures for mediation.
Among the leading diplomats the
usual course of mediation is being SER
iously discussed on the presumption
that ii Will become an actual factor in
the situation If a war crisis develops
within the next few days. A member
of the corps said today that mediation
preceded declaration of war and that
If the great powers took any action it
would follow quickly when it became
apparent, as the result of SPANS re-
ply, that an inevitable conflict was at
hand. He said also that under such
circumstances, before congress took I'D
the consideration of the recently pro-
posed declaration of war. it would be
advised through the executive branch
that the powers desired a few days
delay in order that their friendly in
huences might be eXerted in order 10
avert war. This diplomatic officer did
not state this as an actual programme
now contemplated. but as the usual
procedure suggested by the present
tendency of affairs
The Spanish minister, Senior Polo.
maintains his usual composure. His
endurance has been placed to a test
within the past ten days. for hardly
night passes that he and his entire
staff are not engaged until or O'Clock
in the morning. When the critical con-
Gitlon of affairs was suggested to him
this morning, he shook his head. in
dicating that he believed the appre-
hension was magnified, and suggested
that. as he had received an invitation
to dine with a distinguished official the
latter part of April, it was hardly
probable that he would be called upon
to retire as a result of war before that
time. 80
Ambassador Won Holleben of Ger
many was among the callers at the
state department.

HOUSE FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Democratic Attempt to Force Action
Unsuccessful.

Washington, March 31-The house
committee on foreign affairs met at II
o'clock. Chairman Hit was unable to
be present, and Mr.. Adams of Penn
sylvania presided.
The Democrats of the committee
tried to force action, but the Repub-
licans, standing by their agreement of
yesterday, steadily set their faces
against having their hands forced until
Monday They stated that if the pres
ent negotiations failed they would be
willing to act on Monday.
Mr.. Clark Dem., MOI moved that the
subcommittee on the Cuban question
be discharged from the further con-
sideration OF his resolution recognizing
the independence of Cuba and all kim
dred resolutions. No move was taken
on this proposition, the Republicans oc-
cupying the time until the hour of adj
journment discussing the situation and
arguing that the president should have
the few additional days he has asked
before action would be taken.
Mr. Adams, who saw the president
this morning, said the negotiations
would succeed or fail before Monday.
Mr.. Clark's motion was pending when
the committee adjourned.
Mr.. Quigg moved an adjournment un-
til Monday, the regular meeting day
being Tuesday. Mr.. Pearson moved an
amendment to make the day to which
the adjournment should be taken Sat
urday, and Mr.. Williams (Dem., Miss. }.
who bore the brunt of the Democratic
fight against any further delay what
ever, moved to meet tomorrow. Mr.
Pearson's amendment was withdrawn
and Mr.. Williams voted down by
strict party vote.
Mr.. Quigg's motion was then agreed
