STIM. IN Sl SI'KNSi:.
Preparations irr war are still
being actively made, but as to
whether actual hostilities will oc
cur the general public is yet in the
dark. McKinley hesitates to act,
notwithstanding the overwhelming
demand of Congress that this gov
ernment intervene and put an end
to the butcheries in Cuba as well
KtJP.Vl& ..rPH?li?n--lf. i Ke
can sailors and the destruction of
the battleship Maine.
The latest report is to the effect
that the President has prepared a
lengthy message to Congress, but
just when it wjil be sent in is not
definitely known. It is said that
Gen. Lee has requested that its
submission be delayed until Mon
day next in order that time may
be had to get all Americans out of
Cuba.
There are many surmises and
conjectures as to what the message
contains, but nothing absolutely
definite on the subject is as yet
publicly known.
It may be another week before
we shall know whether we are to
have peace or war.
Tin: action of Governor Russell
in dropping his fight against the
Southern Railway to annul the
lease of the North Carolina Rail
road to that company, proves that
he was not sincere in inaugurating
the attack and that his game was,
as frequently charged, to make
political capital from the suit. If
the lease was conceived in dis
honesty and inimical to the public
interests, as the Governor claimed,
then no consideration should have
permitted him to relax his efforts
to have the contract annulled.
After all the loud cry of fraud, the
Governor has found that he can
not prove his charge, and in order
to save the State from the large
expense which he has incurred in
the suit which he abandons, now
proposes to lease another State
road to the corporation he has
been fighting. As a preliminary
to this arrangement the Railway
Commission has restored former
rates of passenger fares, revoking
its order of February 21. To a
man up a tree, it looks as if the
Governor, as well as some of
the "Me-Toos," had completely
"flopped."
l)lxoov!ry by a Woman.
Another groat discovery has
been made, and thai too, by a lady
in this country. "Disease fastened
its clutches upon her and for seven
years Mie withstood its severest
tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed
imminent. For three months she
coughed incessantly, and could not
sleep. She liually discovered a
way to recovery, by purchasing of
us a bottle of Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption, and was
so much relieved on taking first
dose, that she slept all night; and
with two bottles, has been abso
lutely cured, ller name is Mrs.

CUBA WILL BE RECOGNIZED.
Senate Committee Agrees on an In
dependence Resolution.
WAsmsoTOX, April 4. The fall sen
ate committee on foreign relations has
practically agreed to accept the recom
mendation of the snljcommittee for a
resolution recognizing the independence
of Cuba and recommending armed in
tsrvention if necessary to secare it.
This conclusion was reached after a
cession today that did not continue for
more than un hour, and so far as can be
learned there was no division of opin
ion expressed in the committee as to the
propriety of tins course. h -nators vuay,
Itaniel and Turpio were ahs-.-bt, but the
f pinion is expressed that none of them
will make any oppostion to tLe reiort
ing of the resolution.
The general lines of the Foraker reso
lution will 1 followed in the resolution
rejiorted by the committee. The full
committee gave most of its attention to
the text of the report, which will bo
made to accomjjany the resolution and
which has been prepared by Senator
Davis.
After the committee had been sitting
for a brief time, Mr. Davis called a car
riage and mode a hurried trip to the
White House for the purpose of compar
ing views with the president on some
points to bo made.
The committee had also Admiral Ir
win before them for some- time today
rne .viaiinc disaster, and 'also "off" rfi'e
f-trength of the Spanish torpedo flotilla
and the best course for this country to
pursue in meeting it.
GROUT FOR RECOGNITION.
He Introduces Joint Independence Res
olution In the House.
Washington, April 5. Mr. Grout
(Rep., Vt.) today introduced the fol
lowing: "Joint resolution recognizing the in
dependence of Cuba, and for other pur
poses. "Resolved, by the senate and house of
representatives, that the United States
of America recognize the republic of
Ouba as a free and independent state.
"That the president is hereby author
ized to expend out of tho appropriation
made for tho national defense in the act
approved March 28, not exceeding
ij&uO.OOQ to provide nonenmbarant Cu
lans with the necessary food, raiment
and medicine, their immediate relief
from etarration; also necessary imple
ments of agriculturt' and seeds for plant
ing a crop; provided that relief herein
authorized to noneombatant Cubans
shall be extended only through duly au
thorized agents of the United States;
and to this end the president is author
ized to request the co-operation of the
proper officials of Spain in the island of
Cuba."
Mr. Grout eaid that he believed the
president's message would go beyond a
resolution of this kind.
LEE PREPARED TO LEAVE.
He Will Seek Refu on the Fern In
Evnt of Hostilities.
New York, April C A special to The
Herald from Washington says: Consul
General Lee has been instructed to turn
the American consulate over to British
Consul Golin, and has already made the
necessary arrangements with Golin to
do so. This is a mere precaution in case
General Leo has to leave suddenly. lie
is 6imply setting his house in order.
General Lee had a long conference
with Consul Golin, who courteously
agreed to do everything in his power
when General Lee received orders to
leave or is forced to seek refuge on tha
Fern with the other Americans by a
sudden uprising of the Havana popu
lace. Consul Golin will probably have his
hands full if Havana grows violent, as
English residents will be regarded as
Americans if the excitement is great.
Consul Golin, however, believes actual
hostilities between Spain and the United
States will be averted.
General Lee has not abandoned all
hope of postponement of immediate hos
tllfes, and his conference with Consul
Golin, tt is understood here, was due,
not to his intention of having, but
merely to insure the fullest protection
of the consulate and American residents
should he bo suddenly forced to abdicate.
General Lec will stick to his post until
it is folly to remain longer.
NAVAL COMMITTEE MEETS.
Three More Harbor IK-fcnse Vessels to
He Constructed.
Washington, Aj ril 1. The senate
committee on naval affairs today dis
cussed inform .illy tlx naval appropria
tion bill and di-cid-d to recommend an
amendment striking ait ihr provision for
one of the three bat! h ships and substi
tuting for it three barb- -r defense ves
sels if the sc.-m f ivy of Vv navy should
concur in the u i d -m of this o.urse.
The opiiu. v. w. s generally expressed
that three iig t vr0s o nM be built at
no greater e.; i; than one battleship
and that they ivul.l 1 Half in time for
use in case 'if a war with Spain, while a
battleship ecu Id not be constructed
quickly enough to meet the pres. nt
emergen-y.
The committee decided tv let the hor..
provision concerning the docks stand
without change.
SECRET SERVICE SYSTEM.
The tiovernnieiit Arranges to Trans
mit Its Own Telegrams.
Savannah, April 4. The United
States government has arranged for the
establishment in one day's time of its
own telegraphic system for secret ser
vice. The whole coast will le divided
into two districts. Savannah will be
district No. 4 and headquarters will be
established here.
The substations in Savannah's dis
trict will be Cape Romanic, Charleston,
Hilton Head, St. Simons. Mayport. Fa..
and Cape Cenevel. The government in
tends to build houses on the beach,
where naval reserve officers will be sta
tioned with telescopes to keep watch
and report to headquarters in this citv
all ships sighted at sea.
The system will have connection with
the Western Union telegraph wires aud
the long distance telephone.
Two years ago 11. J. Warren, a
druggist at Pleasant rrook Y.,
bought a small supply of Chamber
lain's Cough Kemedy. lie sums
up the result ns follows: 4iAt that
time the goods were unknown in
this section: today Chamberlain's
Coughliemedy is i household word.'
It is the same in hundreds of com
munities. Whenever the go d
qualities or Chamberlain's Cough

will have nothing else, l or sale

The blalder was created for one pur
pose, namely . a receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form
of di.-ease except by one of two ways
The rim way is from imjerfect action
of the kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatment of other dis
eases. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cau.-e of bladder trou
bles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was created for one purpose, and if not
doctored too much is not liable to weak
ness or disease, except in rare cases. It
is situated back of and very close to the
bladder, therefore any pain, disease or
inconvenience manifested in the kid
neys, back, bladder or urinary passage
in often, by misuke, attributed to fe
male weakness or womb trouble of
ome sort. The error is easily made
and may be as easily avoided. To find
out correctly. ?et your urine aside for
twenty four hours: a sediment or Fet
tling indicates kidney or bladder trou
ble. The mild and extraordinary effect
of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp R,t. the great
kidney and bladder remedy, is rood
rtvtbze-d. If you need a medicine, you
sdiouid have the bet. At drugg'ists
fifty o, r,ts and one dollar. You may
have a sample bottle and pamphlet,
both sent free by mail, upon receipt
of three two-cent stamps to cover
cost of postage cn the bottle. Mention

address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
