The Heraldo Regards the Government ~ Tnadc-
quate Co the Situation.
Special Cable Despatoh to TnE Sun.

Special Gable Despatch to THE Sun.
MADRID. March 1.-THE Heraido, an indie
pendent journal Of wide influence which has
hitherto had Governmental leanings. publishes
in its issue to-day an attack upon the Ministry
under the caption mo Bunkum." which fairly
represents the effect upon the general public of
the passage Of the United States Government
defence bill. Following are extracts from the
article:
"As long as the Government docs not suffer
the penalty of supporting with its authority and
artificial explanations inopportune and opti-
mistic views which are nothing like the truth
we independent journals conine ourselves to
our telegraphic dispatches In regard to the sit
uation in Cuba; but now that the Government
persists in giving out a mixture Of dull miscon-
ception and false hopes. we instantly voice tho
peoples disgust and dismay.
THE United States votes In the space of q
few hours $50. DOC, 900. making no secret OF tho
purpose for which such an enormous sum Is to
be used, but rather Haunting 1t as o guarantee
of success, during n few minutes voting sums
never before granted to any Government in
time Of psaee, and President Mckinley hasten
to make 1t a law by afixing his signature.
"Gcn. Lee is still in Havana, not showing. per-
haps. his habitual impudence and airs such as
might be shown by the French resident in NADIA
gascar. Still. there he is. Despite adverse cur
rents he stands like q proud rock defying the
elements.
knowing this. and in view of the most alarm
ing depression Of our credit in Europe. the
Spanish Ambassador to Paris is now coming to
Madrid. We have no doubt that he would be
better and more amply informed in Paris as re-
CARDS what is happening in Spanish affairs than
he could be In Spain, as. for instance, during the
Melilla affair.
Taking into account all this. the Govern
ment conceives tho childish idea Of issuing an
official note promising the moon, viz: tho i'm
mediate pacihcation of Cuba through autonomy
and Gen. Pando's free and easy dealings with
the eastern provinces. What the Government
ought to do is to prepare itself as silently as
possible. but thoroughly. for immediate con-
tingencies."

MADRID. March 1.-THE correspondent here
Of THE SUN is in o position to declare outhori-
~tatively that the United States intimated to
Spain In September or October last that 1t hoped
and expected that peace would DO established in
Cuba by March /. Both Governments refuse
to describe this notification as an ultimatum.
It Is understood that another intimation has
now been conveyed to Spain extending tho time
to May 1.
II Is freely admitted by the Spanish Govern.
mcnt that It is impossible to establish autonomy
in Cuba or pacify tho island within the time
Of the outcome Of the Maine affair. the Spanish
authorities arc anxious to learn what action the
United States proposes to take on May 1.
Sehor Moret. Minister Of the Colonies, says
that he received to-day the names Of the Cuban
committee which is going to Washington to ar.
range q commercial treaty with the United
States. It lie expected that tho treaty will be
shortly effected.
Senior Moret believes that IL the negotiations
are conducted on the basis suggested by Messrs.
Dlngley and Foster they will be satisfactory to
Spain; at any rate. the committee will meet the
Americans half way.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys
the chief canse of bladder troubles. So the
womb, like the bladder, wal created for one
purpose, and if not doctorel too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very close to
the bladder, therefore any pam, disease or in
convenience manifested in the kidneys, back,
bladder or urinary passage is often. by mis-
take, attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is easily
made and may be as easily avoided. To find
sut correctly, set your urine aside for twenty
four hours a sediment or settling indicates
kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of DR.. Killner's Swamp
Root, the great kidney, and bladder remedy
is soon realized. If you need a medicine you

1t May he Japan.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The Russian
minister was too i'll to be interviewed
on the subject of a loan. Nc one at the
legation would answer questions, per-
haps because they did not know.
In some quarters it is believed that
if the power seeking a loan is not Rus
STA it must he Japan.
The latest reports from that country
show hat a deficiency in the treasury
has developed of about ST., 800, 600 a
year. To meet this shortage there was
levied recently an additional tax on
land calculated to produce some $6. 1O0.-
OOO. Consequently a loan would seem
to be necessary for the extraordinary
expenses incurred by Japan in her re-
cent efforts at army and navy enlarge
ment and internal improvements.
1t has been reported that the i'm
mense war indemnity collected from
China as the result of the war had
disappeared in a strange manner. The
.Japanese legation within a week has
denied the truth of the statements, and
II is asserted officially that the bulk OF
China's war payment is deposited in
the Bank of England, to be drawn
against for new ships and other war
material.
The treasury deficiency cannot con-
tinue. it is said, because the heavy de-
mands upon Japan for nom VIII last
only four years. when all contracts VIII
have been filled and paid for. In the
meantime a loan would ease the situa-
tion wonderfully, and Japan's
and credit are such that she can get
all the cash she wants in exchange FOR
her securities.
