foreign affairs committee will, it is said,
go much farther in their resolution than
they would otherwise have done had the
President been more energetic. The
committee will report tomorrow and will
AVE in the resolutions no equivocal ex-
pressions which might be construed by
the President as endorsing his action.
The COMMITTEE may not recommend the
recognition Of independence, but 1t will
report q resolution directing in the most
forcible language immediate armed in

The Mobilization Of Troops.

ATLANTA, Ca, April s.-To-night
Gen. William NJ. Graham, commander
of the Department of the Gulf. wired
the war department at Washington,
recommending Atlanta as a point for
the mobilization of troops in case Of
war. Gen. Graham, on orders from
Washington. had been dcvoting his
entire time, since his return from the
our Of inspection to visiting the diff
ferent places pointed out to him in
the vicinity as available for points Of
concentration. While the General
had not recommended any certain To-
cation, it is known that he had three
in view. His final decision is based
on the splendid railroad facilities, the
high altitude and pure water Of At
lanta. The city council Of Atlanta to.
day agreed to appropriate $1,000 for
laying the water mains to any point
the war department. may decide upon.
Col. II. l.. Lawton, Inspector gen
cral of the Southern district of the
army. passed through Atlanta tonight

What Gen. Lee will Testify.

WASHINGTON, April S.-Represent-
alive Lorriner, Of illinois, is authori-
ty for the statement that Gen. Lee
will make some startling disclosures
before the Senate committee on for
cign relations when he arrives here,
regarding the conspiracy to blow UP
the Maine. L was announced yester-
day that Gen. Lee would be called be-
fore the committee, but the nature Of
the testimony expected from him was
not disclosed. II understand that
Gen. Lee is to supply the missing link
ip the testimony" said Mr.. Lcrrimer.
MY information is that Capt. Sigsbee
is in possession of the facts, but does
not feel at liberty to give them until
the person who gave them to him re-
leases him from the secrecy imposed.
That person. ! understand. is Gen.
Lee"
1t is said that the information Gen.
Lee is expected to testify to relates to
the extinguishment Of the electric
lights in Havana at the instant of the
blowing up Of the Maine.
Electrical experts have said that if
the lights went out in Havana at the
time of the explosion it would be con
elusive evidence that the mine under
the Maine must have been fired from L
shore electrical connection. Capt.
Sigsbee before the foreign relations
committee said he had information
that the lights had gone out, but did
not think it advisable to give thc
name of his informant while in Cuba.
His informant is said to be Gen. Ice.

In Cuba Anxious for War.

HAVANA. April S.-This communi-
ty awaits developments with stoical
Indifference Among the officials,
from Blanco down, the feeling is one
of resignation. They are desperate.
but they have done what they could
to save the remnant of SPANS SOW
c%rcignty in Cuba. They have also
made the best preparation possible for
rcpulsing a hostile attack. Some
navy and army officers have real faith
In the c! .cnsivc land batteries and In
the harJor dcfenscs Of Havana. The
higher officials, however, fear that if
shc point Of hostilitics is reached and
that landing Of American troops on
the island is desirable for stragctic
purposes. they will be landed at
Mantanzas and other places and
marched overland, while Havana is
blockadcd.
The authorities are dong all they
can to increase the number Of troop.
available for duty. \ decree issued
TO the civil governors calling on them
for Il census of ~ablc-bodicd men be.
tween the ages of ID and 30 who were
not already enrolled in the voluntccr
or similar organizations was intcrprc-
ted as n call to arms Of all Spanish
subjects. A denial was made to this
intention, but the result was the
same.
While the popuiace thinks its elf
ready to rcpcl a hostile force, the
main trust is still in the Spanish ma
Wy. The Ovucndo, the Niscaya AMI
the torpedo %flotilla are on all tongues
and all tongues wag periodically. 1t
is yet Il dclusion Of the Spanish.
classes that war is not to be feared,
because in addition to defending ca
ba, the Spanish feet will dcvastatc
the Atlantic coast and compel the
Yankees to sue for peace.
Officials who encouraged this belief
when they were stirring VI a patriotic
sentiment arc trying to moderate it,
but without success. An actual
demonstration Of American Tnaval SUI
pcriority is the only thing which will
curb that dclusion. This loyal feel
ing has reached such a pitch that if
peace negotiations on the basis Of in
dependence should prevail Il serious
problem would be to regulate it with
u causing Il counter revolution. The
authorities believe they can now ad-
init that instead Of the insurgents
seeking an armisticc, Sagasta has Of
fercd it and they might even propose
Il flag Of truce. That, too, is in pro
grcss.
Reports of attempted mediation on
the part of the Pope was n straw
clutchcd at eagerly by the officials.
They even credited it to a degree not
warranted by their own knowledge Of
the circumstances. While Madrid
may not be able to entertain the idea,
the representatives of Spanish au-
thority in Cuba see how immensely
better it would be for the peninsula to
conccdc independence through media
ton.
Everything is quiet and the state Of
waiting, expectancy and doubt CON
tinues as it has during she past week
or more. According to outward ap-
p%carances there is absolutely no
change in the uaual routine Of life ins
q happy tropical city. Good Friday,
with its proper obseI vance, is more
the topic IN .hho mind than war or
diplomacy.

swo Pointed Questions Answered.

What Is the use of making a better article than your competitor if you cannot get better price TOT it?
 Ans,-As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be much greater in the aggregate. - How can you get the public to know your make is the best?
 If both articles are brought promi- nently before the public both are cer- tain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them and use only the better one.
 This explains the large sale on Chamberlain Cough Remedy. The people have been using it for years and have found that it can always be depended upon.
