Bo Foundation tor the Besot ts About Wat Be la Imminent Bo Probability It a -Warlike Keesase from President Cleveland end en Extra Bas tion ol Congress. By Telegraph to the Moraine Star. - - Washington November 18 The Cuban situation, remains exactly as it stood when the Southern Associated Press sent out on October 27th the fol lowing dispatch: r So far as can be learned from the best sources of information, the rumors put in circulation on Wall street to-day as to the probability of a war-like mes sage from the President on Cuban af fairs and a possible extra session of Con gress have no foundation in fact, and were set afloat for stock-jobbing pur- noses only ; '. i - There nave oeen anticipations mat. Spain, failing to negotiate tne loan she is trying to place on tne European market for the future prosecution of the war in Cuba, might seek to pro voke some antagonism, short of actual war, with the United States in order to allay excitement at home and to give plausible reason for the failure to sup press the Cuban rebellion. This possi bility; it Is understood, was aiscussea in Cabinet meetings ten days ago. There have been no new or startling develop ments since, and none.are expected. One of President Cleveland s Cabinet advisers remarked with a smile when the oublished statements about immi nent war were shown mm today, -ine election is oven I suppose the newspa- rers must have something to talk about, but I think the Cuban question will be lor 'the Major' to settle." Officials of the War Department deny without qualification, the story pub lished by a Chicago paper to-day to the effect that the War Department bad called on railroad companies for rates for the transportation of troops and war materials from the West to. Gulf ports. Some six weeks ago the department, in the ordinary course of routine busi ness, called on the trans-Continental roads for bids for the exchange of troops between Florida and California, This call is the only basis for the abso lutely unjuitiuable and alarming publi cation in the Chicago newspaper. Senor de Lome. Spanish Minister, re ceived the following cablegram to-day from Duke deTetuan. Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, dated Madrid, yes terdav: "The cablegrams from New York and Washington, published in London, re ferring to supposed notes of Mr. Taylor and the Spanish Government, are en tirely false. There is not the slightest foundation for snch rumors, which are undoubtedly of filibustering origin." To a Senator who called upon him to day to enquire In respect to the war ru mors in regard to Cuba, President Cleve land replied that the position of the Government ws as stated in his last annual message to Congress, one of tra- ditional sympathy with a people strug gling for autonomy and freedom but nevertheless this Goverment feels its plain dnty to honestly fulfil every Inter national obligation. .The President fur ther said that every precaution had been taken so that if occasion should arise in Cuba the United States could assert it' self with force, but he did not think that occasion would arise. Secretary Lamont was more outspoken and expressed hit individual opinion that some authoritative statement should be made to pat an end to those disturb ing and unjust rumors ot war. Madrid, November 13. In an inter view this morning Premier Canovas del Castillo said that there has been serious reverses in Cu)a, but that these ought not to discourage the national spirit. Within the present month, he said, the Government were sending such rein forcements to Cuba and the Phillipine Islands as should be able to put an end to the wars in both countries in a short time. Until the country objected to the sacrifices, he declared, the Government would never desist In their prosecution of the wars in Cuba and the Philli pines. - SPOTS AND FU lURES.

Ryan, of New York, and his associates, has been postponed until December. It is said that there has not been at any time any question of Mr. Ryan's ability to raise the money, but that the necessity for postponement is on account of the action in . the matter of President Hoffman and General Manager St, v John, who it is said. .have both been slated for dis placement, and they are claimed to be trying to hold on as long as possible. It is regarded, however, as absolutely cer tain that the deal will go through before the close of the present month, and that when . the history of the transaction comes to be written, if it is ever made public it will be found that the Louis ville & Nashville and the Southern Railway Companies have agreed upon a joint ownership of the Seaboard, although the new corporation will be headed and ostensibly managed by Mr. Ryan and those selected by him." - "I had severe pains in my bead and discharges from my ears; rov general health was also very poor.

JAMU JtNIOHT, ' Uercbant, DavidHirsch, body to converbthe foot into solid flssb and body. . . Of all the means that medical skill has ever discovered for recruiting the exhausted energy7 of tbe worn-out sys tem, Paine's celery compound is far In advance. The pallid face, tbe pinched features, the growing thinness and the nerveless movements that tell the story of badly impoverished nerves and brain all these forebodings Of approaching disease di;appear with the profound nourishing that Paine's celery com pound always provides throughout tbe body, even to tbe minutest nerve nia menu and blood capillaries. David Hirfcb, tbe well known Broad way merchant. New York city, writes as follows to Wells, Richardson & Co.: "I am advocating Paine's celery com pound among my many friends, because it has done me so much good in a very short space of time. I have been suffer ing for years from indigestion and all its consequent ills, sleeplessness included. I bad lost about 80 pounds in weight, and was getting weaker and more ner vous every day. I was uoable to stand exertions of any kind, and I used con veyances for every short distance. "After taking two bottles of Paine's celery compound I feel in every respect better, stronger, more cheerful and will ing to live. I will certainly never forget the effects of Paine's celery compound upon mv system, and I wish to state that I am now past 63 years of age. I have travelled most all over the world, and now I feel I oan keep on doing it and also enioy it Paine's celery compound has done as much for thousands of others.
