Paradise Locals-Mr. Alfonso Pas
quale is the kind of man to have
in a place. He believes in improve
ments. He has planted trees from
one end of the main street to the
other. He has bought and torn
down several old houses that were
an eyesore to the town. He has
put up a substantial stone wall
along the ditch near Kemlar's store
and intends building a first-class
hotel on the old Edmondson prop
erty. He has painted his residence
and the house adjoining which also
belongs to him. He has planted
several hundred trees back of his
store, many of them being fruit
trees. Mr.. Pasquale is live bust
ness man and is doing wonders to
improve and build up the town and
make it veritable Paradise.
A Washington dispatch OF yester-
day says: The United States senate
has spoken. Its voice is for war
war until the saffron flag of Spain
| shall have been furled in the west
ern hemisphere and furled forever.
Its voice, too, is for the independ-
ence of the infant republic of the
gem of the Antilles. At 9:10
o'clock the Davis resolutions, those
| reported from the committee on
foreign relations, amended so as to
include the recognition of the re-
public of Cuba, were passed by a
vote Of 81 to 81 as a substitute for
the resolution adopted by the house
Of representatives. All day long
the contest waged with an earnest
ness, energy, ability and eloquence
seldom equaled, until the moment
of the final vote the intensity of
the interest did not abate for an
instant. The action of the senate
leaves the Cuban resolution in the
following status: The house head
ing, number and eneacting clause,
| the senate preamble resolution, the
| Turpie amendment and a fourth
paragraph proposed by Mr.. Teller.
In full it is as follows:
