ithls waa some days ago , It Is not believed
that such a proposition would meet with , any
serious consideration.
The fact that Spain lias granted this arm s-
tlco as a result of Influence exerted bv the
great powers of Europe and 'the ' pope leads
to much conjecture aa to low far the ma
terial Influences of the powers will be given
In support of Spain , now that It has yielded
to their earnest solicitation.
It has been understood thus far that the
movement of the powers was purely disin
terested and neutral , but press dispatches
from abroad Indicate that Spain's yielding to
these continental influences had established
a ctoacr bond than' had hitherto existed.
Assistant Secretary Day was noncommittal
tonight on the armistice granted by Spain ,
end refused to discuss It or the bearing It
would Jaave on the situation In any way.
With the conditions suggested by Spain
It U felt here tbat a new and even graver
crisis may arlne. Coming late , at night , there
te no opportunity to Judge how the Spanish
conditions will be received by congress , but
In view ot the sentiment of the oenate and
house it U felt the conditions Imposed by
Spain may accentuate the feeling already
existing there.
A leading republican member of the house
committee en foreign affairs expressed the
opinion late tonight that the armistice of-
lercd by Spain Instead of relieving the situa
tion would only exaggerate It. He eald that
lie believed tbls country would not rest short
ot the complete abjuration ot the Spanish
authority over any part of Cuban territory.
Ho said :
I do not believe that the armistice ar
ranged at this late day by Spain will af-
ifcot the attitude of the United States.
There la every reason why Spain should
want an armistice now. and It might be
significant as a central motive that the
rainy season , with all the horrors It haste
to the unaccllmatlzcd Spanish soldiers , will
iwt In fAlthln three weeks and continue until
about November.
Everybody knows what Its effects have
( been on the trooprt sent over from the * penln-
ula , and In the present contingency with
the resources practically exhausted con
tinued activity of the Insurgents , coupled
with thd fatal 'work of the- season , may
mean , andI think It would mean , a fatal
termination of the Spanish cause In the
Its objects \ire relict from the hoped for
avoidance of action by this country , ns well
9 delay with 'the Uwurcents , until a more
auspicious seai-on. In that view I am
gainst Its consideration for -moment. .
Our position at this time with reference to
Spain contemplates , first , Intervention In
humanity's cause , which would not b ful-
lllled by anything * hort of the entire sweepIng -
Ing niwny of Spanish sovereignty ; and , second
end , the destruction ot the Maine.
I repeat that I do not believe that tha
nrmlstlco nt this tlmo will , or It certainly
should not , have > any bearingon our atti
tude In the situation.
Keprpsentatlve Lorlmer of Illinois , one of
the organizers of the republican movement to
take Immediate action for Cuba , eald to
night :
The decree of armistice will not change
the sltratlon one lota. It will not delay
"the president's messageIt Is only another
liretext 'for delay , for Spain Is not able to
light In the rainy season. They hope by es
tablishing an armistice extending over the
rainy season to prepare themselves for an
active campaign In the autumn , which no
one In favor of Cuban Independence or In
tervention would entertain for a moment.
ItH Issu.uioa with tho-te conditions will make

If t'nc decree ot armistice proposes such

If tbe president delays the message on that

WASHINGTON. April 9. The president
and hi * adlvaera proceeded today on the
pUrr heretofore determined upon. The mea-
eagc will bo scot to congress on Monday and
will be accompanied by the voluminous reports -
ports of United States consuls stationed In
Cuba , which have been accumulating for
many months.
During the day the president conferred
with a number of congressional leaders aa
to the form of the resolution to be passed
by congress following the presentation of his
mcseage. U U DDW practically decided to
separate Intervention and Independence. A
resolution will be .puied apeccUIy confined
to olmplo Intervention , loivlng the question
of Indepandence to be determined by ( subse
quent action of congress. Ths ! Is In accord
ance with the president's expressed desire.
The military and naval preparations con
tinued with unatated activity , and the strat
egic experts are formulating prospective
plans of campaign , it seems to be the ac
cepted vlew'among thce experts that It will
not be necessary to extend the campaign be
yond the Island ot Cuba , unlecs Spain as-
mimta an aggrteslve attitude , In which case
the operations of the United States military
and naval forces will be extended to the Span-
lib possessions ot Porto Rico , the Philippines ,
the Canaries and possibly Spain itself.
It Is the opinion , however , that the fight
ing will not extend far beyond Cuba , and Cu
ban .waters , and that after the United States
control Cuba , hostilities would not bo pro
longed.
This view leaves out the fact that after
fighting once begins It cannot be foretold how
fur It will go , and the government In prepar
ing for any emergency.
Sir Julian Pauncefote called at the State
department late during the day , and this led
to the belief the powers of Europe contem
plated another move. U can be stated that
the visit ot the British ambassador had no
reference to the action of the powers , or to
the Spanish situation. The powers have taken
their action so far as the United States Is
concerned , and nothing further Is antici
pated from that quarter.
Mr. Quesada , the diplomatic representa
tive of the Cuban Insurgents In this city , was
ecen this afternoon by an Associated Press
reporter with regard to the armistice procla
mation. He said ;
It la useless ifor us to reiterate again for

FOIL We understand perfectly that Spain
seeks only delay. Wu will have nothing
but Independence.
As u matter of fact , an armistice la a
fiispenplon of hostilities to 'be ' arranged by
the opposing general * . General Blanco and
General Gomez would have to agree to an
armistice. Doss ? any one think General Go
mez would agree to suspend hostilities Just
M we are about to win the great boon for
which our people have fought and strugs'ed '
so IOIIK ?
Besides , who IB to take- the proposition
for an armistice to General Gomez. The
constitution of thn Cuban republic and the
civil law absolutely forbid the general-ln-
chlc-f , under piln of death , 'to ' entertain or
receive any offer from the Spanish lines ,
unless It has for Its ba ls the absolute In
dependence of Cuba. Who Is to carry the
offer ? The fate ot Hulz Is a warning of the
fate which would nwalt such an envoy.
.Mr. Qucsada has a letter from General
Gomez , under date of March 9 , which show
how hopeful he Is of success and how even
then he spoke of the utter futility of at
tempting negotiations with Spain. A portion
ot the letter Is as follows :
This province ( Santa Clara ) , ns well aa
Santiago dc Cuba , and Puerto Principe , is
ours. The enemy has departed , ceasing
military operations , and abandoning the
lynrrlsons and fort.s which constituted its
bane of operations. Days , weeks , and
months pass without a column of troops
appearing1 within our radius of action ,
which Is of many leagues.
In t'nc conditions which we are It Is my
opinion that what we need to end the war
quickly are cannon and a great deal of
dynamite , BO that we can expel them by
fire and steel from the towns.
Notwithstanding the opinion of the op
timists. I adhere to the Idea that we will
never mnko Spain come to terms but In
that manner , and that It Is a loss of tlmo
and very dangerous to .enter Into any
negotiations. We must fight them vigor
ously and unceasingly In order to force what
wo will have and we will surely obtain It
in time.

Yellow Fake.
WASHINGTON , April 9. The State de
partment gave out the following today ;
Secretary S.ierman , referring to the re
port In Madrid that "the Spanish legation
nt Washington had been attacked , " re
marked today that , as everyone here
knows , there Is no truth In It , but on the
contrary , the Spanirf.i minister Is highly
esteemed here , Is received everywhere and
Is respected by all our people. If , as the
result of pending controversies , he shall be
recalled by his government , he will carry
with him the kindly regard of t'no president
and the members ot the cabinet , as well as
of the people generally.
Mr. Sherman's denial that the Spanish le
gation hod been attacked Is In line of offi
cial denials which the Spanish minister him
self cabled to Madrid. The minister today
stated that ho at no time attached Im
portance to the petty Annoyances directed
against the legation property and officials.
It IMS been attributed to Ignorant vandalism ,
mainly by Email children.
It can be said in this connection tbat
Senor Polo In this matter has sought to
lessen the friction between the two govern
ments rather than Increase It. Some of the
annoyances of late have been of an aggra
vating character , even though petty , and
were repeated again last night.

LONDON. April 9. If anything was want-
IBB to confirm the European belief that the
rrUIs has reached an "Impasse" from which
there Is no Issue but war , or the pulling
down of the Spanish flag , It has been found
In President McKlnley's reply to the am
bassadorial note pressntcd In Washington en
Thursday Icat. so strikingly reasserting the
determlivitlCM that there Is only one \\ay
to Dvevcat the United States Intervening to
end the Intolerable situation.
As a matter of fact , no confirmation was
wanted for Europe's only real hope of a
peaceful solution of the qucstlcn was based
on the belief that when they realized llic
rralltv about the high strung truck about
their honcv. the Spaniards would accept the
alternative and surrender. The ambasoj-
dorlal appeal at Washington was regarded
as an obvious formality.
The Hrltibh official view of the matter
Is , o.-j the Associated Press has already set
fotth , that the occasion \\as one for the
sole exercise of American dl.'cretlcn , and
that the American attitude toward Cuba Is
the same , us any other self-respecting gov-
prnment would hold under similar circum
stances. Practically the whole of this coun
try takes the same view of the case.
Great Britain has nothing to thank Spain
for. Whenever commercial questions have
bfen raised. Great Britain has found Spain
obstructive. Intractable and > arbitrary , aa the
United States fncls It today , and the modi
cum of sypalhy found lir some quarters Is
simply a sort of sentimental pity at tthe
fact that Spain should be deprived of Ito
last great colcciy.
DILLON'S DISCORDANT NOTE.
One of the few discordant notes In the
paean of sympathy with the United States
roints from n quarter It was least ex
pected from. The Freeman's Journal , the
orgcn of the Nationalist leader , John Dillon ,
a paper claiming to represent the IrUh
party , after flat-footedly expressing the hope
that Spata will win In the expected war ,
asks :
Is there a nntlon In the world which
oould brook the Insults leveled ut the
Spaniards In t'no American pi ens , or would
not protest against the stand-and-dellver
policy adopted ?
In conclusion , the Freeman's Journal re
marks :
In our opinion , the United States would
b better employed helplm ? Spain to make
autonomy n success rather than In forcing
a deplorable war. The latest advices Hhow
ihe Americans do not want to deliver Cuba
to the Cubans.
The Irish Independent league lias pro
tested against this pro-Spanish declaration ,
and has passed a resolution of sympathy
with the Unltel States , repudiating wltii
scorn and Indignation the declaration ot the
Freeman's Journal.
The resolutions adopted by the New York
Chamber of Commerce at Its recent meeting
are regarded as a highly Important factor of
the situation , and as giving the approval of
the business men to the war policy.
During the courseof a conversation , a tilgh
oftlchl of the British war office said :
Tno certain dllllcultlcs and possible
dangers which the United Slates Is In
viting by Its attitude , besides the vast cost
and the disquieting uncertainties of war
itself , all of which could be avoided by a
policy of Indifference , show the sliiKle-
mlmlcdncss of the American aim , and con
stitute an Irreslstablo claim on the sym-
( lafnlea of the other nations for the as
sured losses are not counterbalanced by any
proHpprt of gain.
The president's policy Is statesmanlike
and essentially humane , and while we may
review with concern the ultimate results
to America , the solution of the Insuffer
able scandal will not bo too dearly pur
chase I at the cost of war.
END TO SPANISH MISRULE.
The maleficent rule of Spain In Cuba haa
got to end now. for nelt'ner America or
any one else will trust Its promises so
often btoken , especially after the tell-tale
correspondence which resulted In the re
call of Senor Dupuy de Lome.
Nevertheless , America has taken up an
unenviable task. After driving out the
Spaniards , It will have to send troops to
crush the Cubans , who are rebels ut 'neart ,
and who will not submit tamely to any
form of government which will deprive
them of their occupation of flghtla ? .
There la much Interest hern In the pri
vateering Incident of the expected hostili
ties and the exploits of the iVlabamas on
both sides will bo watched. It Is hoped ad
ventures resulting will lead the United
States and Spain to sign the declaration of
Paris. The Impression Is that the prospect
ive combatants , while Issuing letters of
marijue , will respect neutral goods on their
enemy's ahlps and their enemy's goods on
board neutral ships.
There Is considerable fear that Europe's
supply ot wheat and cotton will be seriously
affected In the case of hostilities , although
It Is believed that unless the attempted
blcokadea of ports are absolutely effective ,
tbo neutrals will not respect them and It Is
apprehended that this aspect of the war will
lead to ticklish lntrnatlonal questions
which may Involve the combatants In heated
disputes wltb Europe.
Apparently hopeless as the outlook Is ,
thcro are still a few people who think the
rjucen regent will yet surmount the oppo
sition of her ministers and save the situa
tion by yielding to all the demands ot the
United States on the plea of vigorous
European pressure ; but , all the same , Europe
will know as well as America that history
wll ! not fall to record that It was because
of the unswerving line taken up by the
United States that Spain was constrained to
give peace to Cuba.
After commenting upon the fact that "the
effect of the dramatic postponement of Pres
ident McKlnley's message has been to
plunge two continents Into profound sus
pense and put every bourse In the world Into
violent alternations of heat and cold , " the
Spectator suggests as a possible explanation
of the delay that "the president found , or
rather fancied he found , ho was face to face
with a coalition of the continental powers ,
France , Russia , Germany and Austria , nomi
nally to preserve the peace of the world ,
In reality to conduct an antl-Monron cam
paign to prevent any territory now In the
possession of a European power passing un
der American control , "
ENGLAND WOULD HELP.
But the Spectator , In Its next sentence ,
knocks this suggestion on the bead by say
ing :
While the continental powers do not love
t'no American republic , they would not be
so mad as to risk u war with the whole
Anglo-Saxon race , and that would be the
outcome , for if America waa attacked by
a continental coalition , England would be
by Its side. In twenty-four hours.

There comes a tlmo to both men and
women when sickness and poor health bring
anxiety and trouble hard to bear ; disap
pointment seems to follow every effort In
our behalf ; wo get discouraged and skep
tical. In most cases serious mistakes are
made In our treatment , and In not knowing
what the disease Is or what makes us sick.
If a peculiar pain attacks you , try to
locate Its origin and discover which organ
of the body Is sick and In need of attention.
If the kidneys are at fault and In al
most every case in the falling of our
health they arc look well to their restor
ation to health and strength.
They are the great filters of our body ,
and consequently , the purity of the blood
Is entirely dependent on their cleansln * ;
powers.
If the kidneys are not In a porfectl
clean and healthy condition , the bloj.l
becomes Impregnated with Impurities and
a decay of the kidneys soon takes place.
If your desire to relieve your.self of water
Increases , and you find It necessary to arls-j
many times during sleeping hours , your
kidneys are sick. As they reach a more
unhealthy stage , scalding and Irritation
takes place as the water flows , and p in
or dull ache In the back makes you mlsnr-
able. If the water , when allowed to re
main undisturbed for twenty-four hours ,
forms a settling or sediment , you are hi
the grasp ot meat errlous kidney or bladder
disorder.
If neglected now the disease advances

A moat painful scene ensued. A crowd of
people surrounded Mr. Kentlt , and people
struck him and wrestled with him , one man
going BO far as to thrust a handkerchief Into
Mr. Kenslt's mouth In order to gag him.
Finally , the congregation rescued the cruclflx ,
and the police entered the church and ar
rested Mr. Kenslt.
The decision ot the officers of the Esterhazy

to the il'reixlilcnt. "
WASHINGTON , April 9. The officials of
the State department are awaiting with much
Interest today's dispatches from Consul
General Lee at Havana , which will tell of his
safe departure from that city for United
States soil. While they do not outwardly
manifest any uneasiness , It In apparent that
favorable news from General Lee will re
lieve their minds of any fear they have that
disturbance there might Interfere with his
eafo departure.
Secretary Long promptly put a quietus
on the rumor that another fillip had been
blown up In Havana harbor. Ho bald In re-
eponi'o to the Interrogatory of an Associated
Pres > 3 representative that he was very glad
to report that the rumor was incorrect. Ac
cording to the latest reports received at the
Navy department there are now two vessels
at Havana , the tug Kern ami tlu > roa t sur
vey steamer llacbo , both of which \\'ll ' be
used probably to convey any Americana
from Havana to the United States who can
not bo accommodated on the regular steam-
era. The expectation Iw that they will leave
Havana today or tomorrow at tbe very lat
est. The United Statea then will bo with
out any naval representation In tnc watt-re
of Cuba.
Secretary Long was at his desk for a ? hort
tlmo only this morning , going early to the
capltol to keep an appointment with the
house appropriations committee. During niu
morning there was a meeting ot thu a rateglc
board , consisting ot Assistant Srcictary
Roosevelt , Captain Crownlnshlcld of the Bur
eau ot Navigation , and Captain Clover ot
the Intelligence bureau. The most Import
ant naval movement reported to the depart
ment during the morning \\ott tbo departure
of tbe crulocr Topeka and torpedo \esscl
Somera from Weymouth for New York. This
Is a matter of congratulation to the olllciaits ,
who are anxious that the vessel * which have
been purchased from foreign governments
should get out of neutral ports before hos
tilities commenced. Under ordinary tailing
they should reach New York In fron. ten
days to two weeks. The Algonquin and the
Nezlnscott reported their arrival at Heau-
fort , S. C. , which , io a naval supply station.
The monitor Amphltrlto has arrived at Key

There was an Interesting 8tory afloat dur
ing the day to the effect that the president
had decided to dealgnato Lieutenant General
John M. Schofleld. retired , aa an adviser to
the executive , tbe fiecreMry of war and the
commanding genera ) of the army in tba
event ol hostilities. General Schoflcld lias
been very actively engaged of late In or
ganizing a national volunteer reserve , to be
ready for duty at the eal ) of the prealdent.
In connection with this matter ho haa had
conmiltatloni with tbo president and tbo
secretary ot war , itho latter of whom has
given hU 'hearty endorsement to the ecbe-me.
Dy icason of hla active experience In the
late war , the general would be well qualified
to suggest what stern might be neceeaary
and profitable in the conduct ot tbo land
force * . There U an act of congress which
prohibit * the < J JlgmtIon by the president of

swell , and sometimes the heart acts Ixully.
There Is no more serious menace to
health and strength than any derangement
of the kldnoja.

Dr. Kilmer , the eminent physician un.l

effect Is POOH realized. It stands the hlRfi-

tressing cases. All up-to-dato American anil
