POWERS

It is entirely useless to attempt to ar
range a compromise in the face Of the
attitude of America, which has decided
to seek rupture at anyp cost. The Span
ish government would weaken itself by
concessions antagonistic to public senti-
ment. Neither the government nor the
country desires war, but the government
must save Spain's honor. If President
Mckinley succeeds in withstanding con-
gress it will certainly be an indication
favorable to peace. If he does not sue
coed. it will be because he has lost con-
troll of the situation, in which case the
Spanish concessions are absolutely worth

Madrid, April S.-11:S a. m.-The Pals
today furnishes its readers with further
sensa donaI information from the United
States. With startling headlines across
its front page, the Pals unfolds great
Yankee infamy'' in the shape of the dis
covery" that an American trust" IS
preparing to work" the Spanish stock
exchange as soon as the rupture between
Spain and the United States takes place
with the object Of running Spanish credit
by spreading news of terrible Spanish
disasters in Cuba, contradictions being
impossible. owing to the fact that cable
news for Madrid must pass over the
cable leading to the United States
After unfolding this mauks nest, the
Pals gravely suggests that. the Spanish
government should take precautionary
measures

CURES WITHOUT PAIN
One OF the Best Features of the New
Pile Cure.

The Pyramid Pile Cure cures every form
OF Piles without one particle of pain. This
desirable point is not obtained by the use
OF injurious opiates which simply deaden
and paralyze the nerves of the parts and
make matters worse in the long run But
1t is done solely by it's remarkable heal
ing and soothing effects.
And while il thus gives Immediate relief.
at the same time the disease Is not merely
checked. but a radical cure is rapidly &C
complished.
And the point we want % make clear is
that all this is done without a particle Of
pain.
This fact Is one reason for the great
popularity OF the Pyramid Pile Cure and
constitutes one very great difference be-
tween 1t and almost any other kind Of
treatment for piles.
Every kind OF surgical operation for
piles is excruciatingly painful besi tes en-
dangering the life of the patient and in
most cases IS not 70 be compared with
the Pyramid Cure. neither in making sue
cessful cures without pain nor IN cheap

OPINIONS OF SENATORS
What Those Say Who Oppose Inter
yen1inn Wirknnf Recognition.


Washington, April S---Amons the sena-
tors seen today who expressed themselves
in opposition to any modification of the
resolution 10 be reported by the commit
tee on foreign relations were Messrs
Thurston, Pettigrew. Allen and Mason.
I'VE can not" said Senator Mason,
"agree TO any change that would rob
the present Cuban government of the vic
tory which they have so dearly won.
In my opinion. set OF men who have
maintained themselves as the Cuban in
surgents have, in opposition to the entire
dorsement.' said Senator Allen, adding
that he would oppose any effort to curtail
their rights.
Senator Thurston said:
IF we should Intervene without recog-
nizing the present government of Cuba
we should place the United States sn
position OF responsibility to all other
powers and to the citizens of all other
countries for any damage done them in
case Of war This is my Interpretation of
the international law bearing upon the
case, and [ do not believe II can be sue
cessfully eontroverted- Furthermore l
think we would in that event be held la
BILE for the payment Of interest on the
Spanish bonds. which is secured by the
Cuban revenues. But a greater weight
with ME than, all these considerat lions is
the conviction that if we interfere in the
conflict between Spain and the Cubans
without recognizing a political govern
ment in the island we shall witness the
spectacle of Cubans being compelled to
make terms with the bondholders for
their recognition after all the sacrifice
they shall have made and we shall have
made for them. This Is the thing that
is most repulsive to me in the proposition
to deny the present Cuban government
its just dues. 1 do not want to see the
Cubans compelled to enter into a dicker
to secure their. rights after the Spaniards
shall have been driven out"
Senator Lodge, of the committee on for
eign relations said today that he thought
the committee would not report before
Tuesday. He also expressed the opinion
that the senate would dispose of the reso-
luton at one sitting.

ONE WAY TO COMPROMISE
Recognize the Right to Independence
But not the Insurgent Government

Washington. April S.-The senate COM
nlittee on foreign relations had no regu-
lar meeting today, but members of the
committee came together informally and
discussed the Cuban situation. While
there was the appearance Of calmness
everywhere at che capital, yet the gravity
of the situation was realized. No one
seemed to doubt that war was inevitable
Discussion was largely directed toward
the method of procedure and there was
already theories advanced as to how Gu
ba should be governed. These discussions
related 10 the form of declaration by con-
gress and the present condition in Cuba,
together with what the condition would be
after Spain had been expelled. and were
participated in by senators charged with
the responsibility Of action. From those
best informed IL was learned that in the
opinion Of leading senators. whatever &C
ton was taken, forcible intervention by
the United States would make this coun-
try responsible for the future government
OF The island, and that we must make It
safe for life and property.
The principal movement about the sen
ate today was TO find an expeditions
method OF doing whatever was 70 be done
in me way Of declaring the sense Of the
government as to the proper procedure
in settling the Cuban questio2. There was
q general feeling that much delay or long
debate in congress after the receipt OF
the presidents message would be unde-
sirable from all points Of view. SIN, It
was recognized that there was a sharp
line OF difference between ths two ele-
ments IN the senate, one conTndIng FOR q
declaration for the independence Of the
Cubans sustained by armed intervention,
and the other for supporting the positton
OF the president for intervention alone.

Rhinehart and FOssett approached the
Arnett house they saw a man emerge
from the barn. The man saw the APP
preaching officers at the same time and
moved around so as to place the barn be-
tween himself and the officers and then
started to run. with the officers in pur-
suit and probably sixty yards in the rear.
The chase took place across a plowed
field and the fleeing man was gaining
slightly when he turned and fired two
shots from his revolver at the officers.
Rhinehart responded from a shotgun and
Fossett from a Winchester The chase
had covered a distance of probably 300
yards when the pursued man made a
sudden plunge face downward to the
ground, and by the time the officers had
reached his side he was dead.
It was Dick West, the outlaw. An ex-
animation of the body at the undertaking
establishment showed two bullet wounds,
evidently made by a Winchester. One
bullet had gone through the right Shout
der and the other had entered the back
and gone through the heart
Rewards aggregating 81 100 will be divid-
ed among the officers.

SHIPS WILL GO AT ONCE.
GATE CITY WILL BE TURNED OVER
TO THE GOVERNMENT TODAY.

City of Macon VIII BE Delivered in
BOstOn-Both Vessels VIII Go to
Fernnndina, II Is Supposed, to
Transport the Troops Now in Camp
at JacksOnViIIe-The steamship
COmpany's Contract With the Gov
eminent Understood to BE for One
Month or Longer at $4,000 Per
Month.
: Mr.. John M. Egan, vice president of the
Central, returned yesterday from Wash
ington, where he has been for the last few
days effecting contract for the charter
of the steamships city Of Macon and Gate
City by the government.
Mr.. Egan said that the Ocean Steam
ship Company has never been anxious to
charter any of It's vessels to the govern
ment, preferring, if the necessity for the
use Of more ships by the government
should arise, TO sell them outright The
navy department, however, has bought
all Of the vessels that it requires, and
these two ships, which will be used as
transports, were wanted by the war de-
partment for only short length Of time,
so the steamship company agreed to ac-
cept this arrangement, as it was notified
that the ships were wanted al once.
The Gate City arrived yesterday from
Boston, and viii be turned over to the
government at her docR to-day at noon.
The City of Macon reached Boston yester-
day, and after being formally transferred
10 the government there, Will probably
sail direct TO Fernandina, where the Gate
City Is also ordered to report. Both YES
sells will take on a full supply of coal be-
fore leaving for Fernandina. Coal and
water will be furnished by the govern
ment, while all the supplies necessary for
feeding the crew and running the vessel
will be furnished by the Ocean Steamship
Company.
The government assumes the war risk,
a valuation having been placed on both
vessels In the contract The terms
on which the deal was made
are understood to be $4,000 a month for
each ship. The time mentioned in the
contract is thirty days or as long as re-
CURED The entire crews of the charter
ed vessels will be retained and will be
paid by the Ocean Steamship Company, in
whose employ they will still remain
Mr.. Egan says that no additional ships
will be engaged for the present to take the
place of the two that have been chartered,
unless 1t happens that the government
will find use for the two ships, In which
case It is possible that new ones viii be put
on the line. For the present the freights
to Boston will be carried via New York,
and arrangements will be made at that
point, either with some steamboat com
pany or with one of the railroads, to lnn-
die the traffic from New York to Boston.
The Gate City and City of Macon are
capable Of accommodating about 900 per-
sons, each comfortably. In transporting
the troops It is probable that each ship will
carry an entire regiment, or about 600
men. As they are ordered to Fernandina.
it is very likely that they will handle the
transportation of the soldiers who are now
modified at Jacksonville.

Guards, with the exception of three, re-
turned to the city yesterday. Mrs. w. r.
Leaken, Miss Kate Brigham and Mrs c.
c. Schley remained IN Tampa.
Mr.. Lewis Mercer and Mr.. John r.
Young, who were with the party, both

pa, where the government transports are
lined up. There are now thirty-eight
transports there. Mr.. Mercer says, and
the work of loading them with provisions,
supplies and ammunition is going on con-
stantly. Mr.. Mercer says there were long
lines of cars on the wharves from which
supplies Of all kinds necessary for any
army were being put into the ships They
heard nothing definite however, as to any
immediate intention to move on Cuba.
Mr.. Mercer says the Guards are pretty
wei fixed according to what he saw de-
spite all stories to the contrary. Most Of
the men have arranged themselves fairly
comfortable beds and they are now get
ting a good quality of food He says there
are now about 10000 soldiers around Tam
pa and the place looks like a city of 100. .
