The President Kqael te the Occetlon — Iniei Hie Ultimatum In Good Time to Avert Another Delay.—Hu Diploma cy Heartily Commended. At 2 o’clock last Tuesday morn ing a wrong was righted and Uncle Samuel said in stentorian tones with his finger pointed towards Spain, thou shalt immediately go out of the island of Cubia or prepare thy self to go hence to the place thou drat sprang from, “Hades.’’ The Congress of the United States assem bled Jointly, declared that “the peo ple of the Island of Cuba are, and of right ought to be free,” and hon ored the president's request of the 11th inst. by placing the land and naval forces at his command to en force the mandates of this govern meet and the despot that roled that fair Island since the pearl of the Antilles was discovered and the em blem of their authority hoisted over its sacred soil, finds itself comfroni «d with “a foeman worthy of his steel,” and as its despotic power disappears from the western world our people will with one accord cry with Shakespeare, “down, down to hell aid tell the devil 1 sent the,” and now the poor Cuban patriots that for many months has stood upon the crest of the hills in the east ern half of that Island aDd with tear bedimed eye, see bis loved ones starved and emaciated by Spanish cussedness, guarded by Spanish guns, and butchered by Spanish barbari ans, can look beyond and see the goal for which he has so long suf fered, raising out of the distance to gladden his noble heart and eemeut the family ties that have so long been sundered. The joint resolution was presented to the President and received his signature on Tuesday, and theultima turn to Spain at once prepared and cabled to Minister Woodford at Mad rid to lay before the Spanish govern ment Although it was not known outside of the White house that the ultimatum would even be signed be fore 11, a. m. Wednesday, this se crecy was observed for purpose of beading off another shrewd diplo matic trick of Spain, their purpose being to have the Spanish Minister at Washington, ask for bis passport as soon as the ultimatum was signed and before it was presente i to him for transmission to Madrid so that the legation at Washington would be closed and the United States would be compelled to transmit it through the British Minister thus AAAtllAH ilnl of ton U ""■'“8 ■MO—V. --J But the President surmising their ohjeot forestalled it by having the ultimatum iu the hands of Premier Sagasta bofore it was knowu by the Spanish minister to have been sign ed. When he was Informed that the document had bean signed he at once called for hi* passport and left via. Canada by the drat tram. The ultimatum sets forth that Spain must evacuate Cuba without delay and that her auawer will not l»« wait ed for longer than Saturday uesl, and if it is not received by that time tha Coiled States will promptly move on Cube, with her land and I naval force* The ultimatum «i< maud* an answer in tweiity four hours, snd the movement of our for t ee to take place if not satisfactory not later than Saturday Tke tjucvu Hegcat assembled the curies at one* for the purpose of d.-allng with the wltimeluwi sad au answer te espeet ed el once Our tr««»f*e are ail us the move south, aad ail the pises* of leadeavow* are receiving new addr Usu hourly The tfeeta ar« laying at anehor walttng the motnea'u* enmatow* to move. «w«levert thing I* ta readiness to sink a !>)<<w that will be effective and iu a few days more ' a terriable war will be upon us. That the President intends to re cognize the indepeudance of the Cu ban Republic at an early day there is no doubt, if be has not already done so. Senator Foraker said aw much in his speech Wednesday and Thomas Kstrata Palma the represen tative of the Cuban Junta has been called to Washington for a consul tation with General Miles on Cuban affairs. This is taken as a virtual recognition of the Cuban republic. Female Cavalry Heady to Knlt»t. Cbadron telegraphs the war de partment that they have a crack shot female cavalry company that wants to fight the Spaniards, and, makes application for u chance to help sain the dons. -- On Hie Way to New Orleans, \V.

Gomez, hasn't been heard from on the subject of armistice, but it is believed that the word doesn't appear ant where in the outline of his summer plans. A di’yaicb from London pub lished under the head of “Knglsnd says hands off” has the following to say: “We have good reasons to say there are strong friend* *>f Arner ica in the present government, and we hope Lord Salisberry is one of them; but it is important that the feeling of the country should be adequately represented in Kngland and Washington. “It was easy to coerce Oreese, but Uivl IV nuui'in /II ii mm II. uv van gory. It is a great power, intense ly proud, and entirely self contained Its fate has been to undertake a task peculiarly arduous and thankless. It is not going to be bullied by the heroes of the Cretan blocade, and if the government against it is pressed too far, it will be compelled in its own interest to clear the situation. “Our present purpose is to insist that our governirent does its best by using every means in its power to defeat ud> anti-American combina tion. If there is any doubt about the feelings of the great majority of the nation we shall be happy to try the experiment of marching I00,00o Londoners through the metropolis with the union jack and the stars and stripes in combination." According to the latest advices the Philippine Islands are in a very ac tive state of insurrection against the terrable misrule of Spain, and like the patriots of Cuba, seem to have determined to perish or throw ofT the yoke of hades placed about thier neck by the withering hand of the Spaniard. According to Prof. Wor cester, death would be a welcome change as compared with the atro cities heaped upon them by their half civilized tormentors. They are taxed for every breath they draw, and if the tax is cot paid they are stripped to the waist, tied on a bench or to a tree, and flogged, men and women alike, and if not paid then they are deported to a penal settle ment to work it out at six cents oer • lay and are charged live eta. for their board, which means a life senteuce A friend of Hie writer, who spent two years in the vicinity of Manilla,con firms this story and adds that an American could not walk along the streets of Manilla, without being spit upon, und otherwise mal treated by the Spanish soldiery who took greatdelight in insulting every thing in sight that had the appearaucu of being an American. He further said tnauy liiuea he waa inspired with the hope, when being loan bed that acme day be might have the pleasure of seeing the whole Spanish nation swept fmui the face ot the earth as a small compensation for the Ihdlgnltn * lo-aped U|h>u him Ih leans* lie belonged to the best nation on earth " ...
