"The ultimatum , " said ono member of the
cabinet after the mooting today , "has been
agreed upon In trbatanoe , but has not yet
'been ' formally drawn trp. Its preparation
has .been . entrusted to Aslstant Secretary Day
of the State department.
"It will bo sent to Tipjln tomorrow , and
will reach Madrid ta the evening , the dlf-
fcrenco In time between this country and
Spain being about nix hours.
"I think } ttu arc safe In saying that Spain
will bo given forty-eight hours , that la ,
u-itll Friday evening , to submit Its reply. "
"In accord , tie. with the terms of the-rfsn-
lullon Hie president will demand that Spain
shall evacuate the Island. The demind for
thh will be flit-footed and absolute , and no
half-way reply will eatWy the president , nor
will any compromise that contemplates tlie-
withdrawal of Sraln's troops from the Island
and the subsequent re-catabllahmrnt of Spaa-
Iflh control or the raising of the Spanish flag
over the country be accepted by the adminis
tration.
'To&ilbJjr It may be that a suggestion of
the matter haa been referred to the Cortea.
which mectn tomorrow , for Its consideration
may bo Instrumental In postponing for a
brief tlrno the putting Into eftoct of the con-
KrtMtonal resolution , but Uio president la
dlspcaed 'not to brook any further delay. It
Is cnly fair that In a great crlnU llko th'o '
reasonable time shall be given.
"If Spain refuses to evacuate Cuba prompt
measures will be adopted to put Into foicc
the congressional resolution. A blockade of
Cuba will , BU far as present understood , bo
begun at once. There are an adequate num
ber of war vessels In the vicinity to mike
this effective. I think such supplies us the
Spaniards now control will not last them
more than a month.
"Then steps taken with a view to In
creasing the oqulpmpnt of Gomcz'a soldlera
and furnishing them with aumclcnt hard
tack for fco.l will enable him to lurass the
Spaniard ? from the rear , which will ma
terially arotst In bringing them to terms.
"My CIAII Individual Idea Is that It will
probably take two months to brine about
. the results which will compel the Spaniinls
to evacuate nnd enable the Island to be oc
cupied by the UnltaJ Statw without raolcsta-
'tHn."No ' , the United States government will ,
I
cot Isjue any letters of marque and reprisal
nor countenance privateering , but If the '
Spanish government chooses to enter upon
thU line of warfare It vlll have to deal with
the nitlons of Europe with whcae commerce

LONDON , April 19. In the House of Com-
mcna today , Mr. Dalfonr , government leader ,
replying to JamfB H.'Dalzlel , liberal , said
'the British ambassador'at W-acfalngton , Sir
Julian Pauncefote , at the end t > f March , was
"aulfaorized to Join with the other ambas
sadors In friendly representations to tbe
United States , provided we were first as
sured such representations were likely to
bo well received and useful , "
Continuing , Mr. B-ilfour ald : "Sir Julian
Pauncefote accordingly Joined with the
others , and the British charge d'affaires at
Madrid , on April 9 , joined with the repre-
Gcnfatlveo of the other powers , In verbal
Identical representations , expressing the
opinion that the Spanish government would
do welt to effect a suspension of hostilities
which might lead to an honorable under
standing for the peace of Cuba. No further
representations have been made. "
Mr. Parli'h , Irish nationalist , asked
whether the representations had not been re
sentii by popular opinion In America , as an
unwarranted Interference In the domestic
reaponslblllUes of the republic ?
"I doubt thot , " answered Mr. Dalfour ,
amid cheers , "and I am sorry It It Is a fact.
I am sure that If such a feeling exists In any
section of opinion In America , that opinion
was formed under a misconception. 1 am
certain that the Instructions furnished to Sir
Julian Pauncefote , which I have jnst given
to the House , will convince both the House
and public that we have not Intruded our
selves unnecessarily. " ( Cheers. )

I A MOTHER'S EXPERIENCE
From generation to generation the
taint of Impure blood lit transmitted ,
and In tli ? same way thu Ixmt'llflal
blood-purifying eirects of Hood's Stirsa-
p&rhla arc spread through families. If
the life stream U purl tied at its source ,
Immediately when evidence of Un
ify llrst appears , much suffering will
bo avoided. The btnerteent work of
Hood's Sarsaparlll.i for young women ,
wires , mothers and little ones of all
ages has won thn highest praise , and Is
another gem In Its crown as America' *
Greatest Medicine. For illustration of
this thought , please read this letter : I
"Tho end of ono of my fingers began to
Itch and eoon there was a collection ot
watery bl'atcrs under the skin. In a chart
time the blisters came -to tbe surface and
broke , discharging a watery substance and
the flcah became Inflamed around my finger
nail. It kept getting worse and spread to
ward tlie knuckle. Then I began doctoring
for poison , using carbolic acid for a waah j
and putting on poultices. The sore did not'
get any better , however , and soon It appeared
on the next finger and continued to spread.
It pained me so much that I became alarmed.
I could not do any of my housework. I wau
told that the trouble was salt rheum , and
was given a prescription and began taking
medicine. I found It hurt my nursing baby
and I stopped taking It. The dUease then
appeared around the nails on every one ot
my nngera and my 'suffering was terrible. I
could not attend my boy and wa advised
to wean him , but I aefltated about thla as
ho wau puny and hla digestion was poor.
At this time I concluded to try Hood's Sar-
eapurllla and Hood's Pills. Before I bad
finished thu first bottle ot Hood' * Sarsaparilla
I could ceo a dlffere-nce In my boy ; he wao
moro quiet and getting better. When I had
taken two bottlcv of Hood's Saraaparllla and
a box ot flood's Pllln I found my hands get-
ting better. I kept on with HooJ's Sarsa-
parllla and my hands continued to Improve
and now they are perfectly healed. My lit
tle boy Is strong and healthy. Hood's Sarsa
parilla ha given me atrength to do my
housework. iMy husband has taken Hood's
and eayo It Is as essential In th family as
flour. " Mra. Prosper Antolne , Dox 22 , Jus

WASHINGTON , April 19. The Spanish
minister , Senor Polo y Bcrnabc , has made
his final preparations for departure , and h
calmly awaiting notification that the prest-
dent lias affixed till signature to the Cuban
resolutions , at which tlmo the tnlnUter will
take his leave.
He had expected this would come today ,
and every arrangement uad been made with
that in view. Now that the signing I * de |
ferred until tomorrow It Is probable that tuo
minister and his staff will depart before an-
other twenty-four hours pace by.
He will not move precipitately , however ,
as the transfer ot the legation archives anl
effects to the French embassy must first bo
accomplished , and , moreover , there Is felt to
be no disposition on 'the' part of the outhorl-
Ics tiero to unduly hasten the movements I
of the minister. I
Whether the State department will send
Senor Polo hla passports or ho will ask Tor
them U felt to be an Immaterial detail. He
ntcnds to go without reference to thee
'ormalttlcs ' , and there In every reason to
believe the State department will afford lilm
the protection ot pass rts and any further
attentions usual In the enforced departure of
a mlnUTer on the breaking out of war.
The entire staff of the legation will ac- j
company the minuter. Their exact move
ments after leaving Washington are net
made known , except thnt they will return
to Spain at the earliest passible moment.
It would be no surprlsa If the minister and
hU staff went by way of Canada , Instead ot
New York , taking one of the Atlantic steamers - t
ers from Halifax.
Thla morning the largo metal t'lgn ' bearing |
the words "Office of the Spanlah Legation"
wca wrenched from lie place on the gate
leading to the legation and carried off by
vandals. The minister made no complaint to
the State department or to the police , as he
bis sought 'to minimize the petty depre
dations against the legation , although this
was the moat flagrant one committed.
It l.i said Great Britain has taken ptopij
not only to maintain a passive neutrality ,
but to enforce It with urma it necessary.
So far as known the French government
will observe the same neutrality. Its West
Indian possessions arc coiU'ldcrablo and It
has several ships In those waters. Germany
and the other powers are expected to take
the same neutral attitude.
NEW YORK. April 19. It waa said at the |
office of Aturlo Balladonzo , Spanish consul
general , today , that ordcw to close Ids of
fice are expected aa soon as the president
signs the Cuban resolutions , and that tbe
Spanish officials are ready to go when GO
directed. When the Spanish consulate gen
eral Is closed the Fretnch consul will take j
charge of Its affaln .
BAN 'FRANCISCO. ' April 19. Senor Car- |
melo iMartln , who represents the Spanish
government as vice consul here , saya he In
tends to remain and haa made no arrange
ments to send any of his countrymen nway.
He told today : "I see no reason why the
Spanish rcaldents of California t'hould ' en
tertain any fears , even though war should be
declared between Spain and the United
States , for I know , the American people too
well to " Imagine that they would allow for
eigners" to be molested merely because they
happened to belong to .the nation with
which they are at enmity. I shall remain
hero and in the absence of specific Instruc
tions to the contrary wilt advlso others to
do no. " i i
NEW ORLEANS. April 19. The Spanish
consul at New Orleans , Senor Petlnto , slid
today ho had received' ' no instructions to re
turn lo Spain or to get all of his country
men out of the United States Into Cuba or
other Spanish possessions. Two Spanlah
merchant vessels are now in port. The
steamships Miguel Ji Jouver for Barcelona
and the Catalonia for 'Barcelona ' and Genoa
are loading at the head of St. Andrew strait.
They are toeing no tlmo about it.

KEY WEST. April 19 The naval plan
of action. It Is understood , has been finally
and definitely decided upon. It Involves
the blockade of Cuba , but not a bombardment -
ment of Havana. The blockade will Involve -
volve no engagements. It Is said , except
the accidental encounters , which more or
less are bound to occur.
The senior naval officers of the fighting
snuadron believe that Sixiln Is playing a
clever game /'In concentrating Its entire
naval forces at a distance from the Imme
diate sccno of action.
Wherever the eye turns tonight It Is met
with the colors of Cuba llbre. Invariably
the stars and Rtrlnca float above the Insur-
eent enslzn. and here and thcro a new
broom surmounts all. slerflfvlng that Spain
will be sweat from the sea. Throughout
the entire day the "vivas" of patriotic '
Cubans have rounded through the town ,
and there have been procession.- more
or less dlcnltv In everv nart.
This afternoon some 200 Cubans , headed
by a braea band marched through the streets
and halted In front of the hotel. After a
serenade of American national airs , cheers
vere given for President McKlnley and the
newspapers of the United States. Several
prominent Cubans made addresses In Spanish ,
the turn of these 'being ' gratitude to lAoier-
Ica and the joy at the near prospect of free
dom for Cuba.
The procession -then marched to the cable
office , whore the following message was sent
to President iMcKlnley :
'A ' thousand Cuban volunteers at Key
West offer services under United States
flag. J. S. GIVON , Major. "
Today has been a Cuban holiday. The
schools have been closed , a'nd the ntrccts
crowded with excited groups discussing the
situation. For the first tlrao the flag polo
over the ol < 5 Spanish consulate waa made to
bar the Cuban flag , and when the banner
waa raised. "Cuba llbro" rang out from
every throat.
A number of demonstrations are In progre-a

names of nearly every officer of the engi
neer department throughout the United

portant river anJ harbor and other engineer
ing works In charge of these ofllceni It
probably will be noceaiiry In particular cases
where the workii cacnnot bo entirely neg

of the * dutlcM of ofllcern in order that the

Idea that the officers will not bo called away
from their preucnt duties for more than a

In the event of hojtllltlra the engineer
office ot the War department will promptly

( Mr. W. R. Wlncherdon , a commercial
traveller from Birmingham , whoso businesi
kecips him almost constantly on the road ,
relate in the Sunday 'News the dangers to
health resulting 'from constant change ot
residence and the way > d overcame tha
usual Injurious effects.
'He ' says : Ono thing people traveling can
not very well avoid Is 'the ' constant changa
In water and food ; the stomach never haa
an opportunity to become accustomed to any
thing and In a few years or much sooner
the average traveling man becomes a hope
less d > speir tlc.
For several years I suffered moro or less
from Indigestion , sour stomachs , heaiaches ,
distaste for food , often no appetite , gas oa
the stomach and the usual unpleasant ef-
'fccts of Imperfect digestion.
'Nearly ' every 'traveling ' man has his fav
orite remedy for different troubles and I
tried all of them with Indifferent results.
Finally on < the train between Plttaburg and
Philadelphia one day , I overheard a con
versation bc'twecn ' two ladles , one of whom
had suffered severely from Indigestion and
stated she had been completely cured b ;
a remedy which she called Stuart's Dyapetp-
sla Tablets. I remembered the conversation
because It directly Intcrestol me , and at tha
next town I Inquired ait the first drug atora
and bought a package for fifty cents , and
from that day ( o this I have never been with
out them. They are pleasant tasting tab
le's. , not a secret patent medicine , but com
posed ot. vegetable essences , -pure pcipsln ,
fruit salts- add Golden Seal ; being In ta > blet
form ! they never lose their good qualities
llko a liquid medicine would , but are always
fresh ; and ready tor use.
I carry a box In my pocket continually ,
and whenever 1 see any symptoms of Indi
gestion I take one , also ono after each meal ,
and for a year and a half I have not lost
a day 'by ' reason of poor health and can eat
anything and relish What I oat ; my dlgea-
tlcn Is absolutely perfect as ifar as I can
judge from my feelings and although tilers
may be other stomach medicines just as good
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Ta'blets ' , I do not know
what they are. Certainly for people who
travel -they are far ahead of any liquid medi
cine , as they are so convenient ; they can
'be carried In 'the pocket and used whenever
needed.
I ibelleve they are sold 'by ' all drug-gists at
0 cents , and believe anyone who will try
them will agree with me , that for Indiges
tion and stomach trouble Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets are unequalcd. .
