The 4 SomerseMIerald JARD SCULL. Editor and Proprietor. WEDNESDAY. April 20, I. V. J. Bryax is not straining his voice shouting for Fitzliugh Lce. Tins wetk will pr.ut.ly lwi.k'. Will tin" lrt.i.ion mean or war? Hhajs does not yet wcem to realize that she is ai trolling on to her own ck struciion. Ixdepexdesce for Cuta is sure to come, nd it really makes very little difference whether it shall come before or after intervention. Merceu county Republicans will hold their primaries on Saturday, 23d last, when four delegates to the State convention will be elected. If some one don't flag the Wauama Iwr candidates for delegates in this county there is danger of their running ahead of schedule time. In case of a war and the coming of WVyler to Cuba the American troops w Mild probably, in the wonts of the day, "not do a thing to him." Mr. Bailey seems to be determined to put himself on exhibition at least once every day. It's very kind of bim, but it is getting somewhat tiresome. The in.urgents are reKrted to lie ac tive around Havana and elsewhere in Cuba. They are of th opinion that it still takes two sides to arrange an armistice. The anti-Quay, or Wauamaker crowd, have decided not to make a fight for Dauphin county's six dele gates to the Kiate conven ion. Dau phin is one of the strongest i'iay coun ties in the State. "This infamous calumny merits the reprobation of the whole world," waiil Premier Hagasta, referring to the Amer ican Is-lKf ihat the Maine was blown up through Spanish Agency. That is all right, of course, but what if it is proven that the calumny is true ? Only a few days ago the Spaniard wre allu ling to their Q icm ai "The Austrian,"' but since she has given f .00,003 to the naval fund she is now alluded to as "The Spanish Queen." ' The Spaniards are only human, and they applaud the dollar as much as the nation they affect to despise. The assembling of the regular army on the Florida coast means that we pro- pise to move 011 Havana without any delay, and it will ouly be a short time before the Kraag-Jorgsen rifles in the hands of Uncle Sam's 'noys iu blue will be spitting lire at the Spaniards. And then will enme "Cuba Libre!'' When the Cuban resolutions came to be voted on, Saturday afternoon, our two United States Senators, Qjay and Penrose, took the most advanced ground and voted for intervention, and to sultstitute the Senate for the House resolutions. Twenty-three It-publican members of the Senate voted for the more radical resolutions, while niue- -teen voted against them. Mr. John Waxam ak Kit makes daily speeches, assaulting and abusing Sena t jr Quay and W. A Ston, and the peo ple, wherever primaries are held, reply by nominating Legislators who will support Quay, and delegates who will vote for Stone. So far Mr. Wanama ker has succeeded in carrying just two counties, Blair and Lycoming, an 1 in the former the candidates nominated for the Legislature are all for Quay. Repi'BLICax primary elections wi r. held iu Elk and Montgomery counties Saturday. In the former one deleg it who will vot; for C. W. Stone was elected and in the latter niue delegate wh will give their support to Col. W. A. Stous were chosen. Mr. Wanam.i ker ha-" his summer residence in Mont gomery county, an 1 he and his friends made a most vigorous eiFort to capture its nine delegates to the State conven tion, but the friends of Colonel Stone carried it by an overwhelming major ity almost three to one. With the loss of his home county Mr. Wan&maker is eliminated from the outest, and the nomination of Colonel Stone is practi cally assured. John Wanamakek's offer to recruit a regiment and lead it against the Span ish is but a cheap bid for the votes of the unsophisticated. Mr. Wan&maker knows that a war iu which any consid erable number of land forces will be actively engaged is highly improbable. Older voters will remember that when they had a chance some thirty years ago to save this country from disunion neither he nor the chairman of his State committee, ' ( neral'' Koontz, took advantage of the opporlunity. The latter saw his comrades, the u:em lers of gallant Company A, which he commanded in pence but deserted in war, march off to the front, while he alone remained at home. . I.r't-r Waua maker is engaged in au eager hunt for votes just now, and tbiaks that a little hit of bravado will help him. It is thought by some that the mis sion of Mr. Wanamaker's State vhair man, "General" Koontz, to Philadel phia this week is to consult his chief iu "relation to the organizition of the regi ment he proposes to raise in the event of war with Spain, while others are of the opinion that the -Geiieral' is there for the purpose of "coaling up" prepar atory to a declaration of political war in Somerset county, to be promulgated simultaneously with the announcement of his candidacy for the Assembly. If the latter surmise prove correct, it will be interesting to note whether the "General" and his followers will be av orded belligerent rights by the party organization, or whether titty will be simply treated as political revolu tionists. It is gratifying to note that amidst all of the attempt made by a couple of the minor powers of Europe to get up a naval demonstration for the purje of frightening this country out of her in tention to free Cuba Great Britain positively refuses to be considered a party to the project, an 1 has taken an exceedingly firm aud unmistakable ftand against such a proceeding. Great Britain has behaved very creditably all the way through this controversy, aud at every ttag of its progress Las shown that she not only refuses to be a party vtO 'the interference, but that she frowns en any other power that proposes such interference. The United States and Great Britain united for war purposes could make it very later?sting for the balance of the world, and would prac tically dictate matters. John Wasamakek and those who are following his lead have for their single purpose the wrecking of the lvi publican party in Pennsylvania, says the Lancaster Inquirer. The original motive for this movement was the de feat of Wauamaker for U. S. Senator. The great dry goods merchant Mer chant Prince as he loves to be called could not brook to I defeated for the position he had looked toward to so fondly, and he resolved to be avenged. The only adequate vengeance that could satisfy him is the wrecking of the Itepubiiean party in Pennsylvania. His candidacy for governor is a mere pretence. He does not expect 10 oe nominated by the Republican conven tion ; if he ever did have such a boie it was long since dissipated by the re" suit of the recent primary elections. But what he does hope is to form a nu cleus around which all parties and frag ments of parties may unite to defeat the ticket that will be nominated at the Republican State convention. The Public Ledger, one of the organs of the Wauamaker movement, openly advocates this. Other of his organs will sustain such a measure in due time. We shall see then whether we have a Republican party devoted to its princi ples and the interests of th3 nation, or simply an aggregation of selfish inter ests, liable to be tort asunder at the word of a would-be boss whose distin guishing characteristic is his ability to run a dry goods store. Stone'i Triumphant March. Philadelphia Inquirer. The primary elections in. Montgom ery county on Saturday practically end the campaign. There will be more po- litieal fireworks, we presume, but the overwhelming success of Colonel Will iam A. Stone, after & very hot and bit ter campaign made against him, is clinching proof that the people are not to be driven from their faith iu or their support of him. There remain to be elected 109 dele gates, most of them in counties w here he is particularly strong. He needs less than thirty delegates to secure the nom ination, and as the independent cam paign has been scattered to the four winds so far as any practical results are concerned by the deliberate action of Montgomery, he will get many more than thirty without difficulty. Colouel Stone has been forced to the front by the very nature of the Blank-euburg-VanValkenberg campaign. En tering the canvass just as C. W. Stone, Leisenring and Connell entered it, ail standing entirely upon their own mer its and absolutely in their own right, he has had directed toward him all the venom of the Blaukenburg crusade. Unquestionably he has been helped by this ftct. The unjust fight was made to centre upon him, and that it has been an unjust fight the people most certainly believe, else they would not be giving him their votes aud so sig nally defeating his assailants. The gallant soldier boy of the war of the rebellion is evidently thought to be the proper one to lead the Republican hosts of McKinley in Pennsylvania in this year of threatened war with Spain. A Few Good Men An Army of Bag Tag and Bobtail. It is rather a heterogeneous aggrega tion that is forming to defeat the Re publican party this fall, and is constit uent parts will have to be cemented with a good grade of cement or glue to hold together and work in unity aud harmony until after election day. Per sonal pique is strong enough aud last ing enough, but we are afraid it would bind them apart rather than together in the selection of a ticket for the State and Philadelphia. The public good certainly does not enter into the matter sufilciently to deserve mention. The Philadelphia Times thus outlines the plot : The combination to be for.ne.1 will x..n rrinA the Wanamaker Independents. Swallow Independent. Prouil.itioni.it-., Free Silver and Sound Money Democrats ai'd the Municipal Leaguers in this cay. There seems to be some doubt as to the partieiilar element in which this anli- .J-iay movement originated, but confer ences havo been held within a few nv looking to an agreement upon a combina tion Mat ticket which would be satisfac tor to all parties. Tho prop-ed plan, it is said, coutein. plates lbs retirement of both Wanainaker and Swallow as independent candidates for governor, and the eletiou of a Rtrong anti if-iny Republican as a compromise. The Democrats are to be given the lieutenant-governorship, and the Swallow ln-t.-peii.l-.nts the secretary of internal all'airs. Wanatuaker's frien.ls are to elect as many member of the legislature as poshitiie, while the Philadelphia local of fices in the fall are to be distributed ac cording to arrangements hereafter to le uade, the Municipal League to dominate in training the ticket for coroner, district attorney, clerk of the quarter sessions, recorder of deeds, and city controller. THE WAS BES0LTTI03. It was Adopted ia the Home Last Wednet day Evening. The House on last Wednesday evening, after one of the most exciting and memo rable days in its history, by a vote of 322 to 19 adopted a resolution which nine tenihs of its members believe makes war with Spain inevitable. It is a fact which was grimly commented upon by mem bers as they spoke of the future, that every war in which the United States has enggrd began in April, and that Wednes diy w the anniversary of the fall of Port Stumer, which aroused the patriotic fervor of the Xorth and made four years of eivil strife a certainty. Follow ing is the resolution as adopted : K-s-vh1, etc. That the President is hereby authorized and directed to inter vene at once to stop the war in Cuba, to the end and w ith the purpose of securing permanent, peace and order there, and es tablishing by the free action of the poople thereof, a stable and independent govern ment of their own in the Island of Cuba, and the President is hereby authorized and empowered to use the land and naval forces of the United States to execute the purpose of this resolution.

Soain Notified to Both Houses of Congress Reach a Final Agreement Upon Cuban Affairs. The President Authorized to Act. After all day and all night sessions both llousea of Congress agreed Tuesday morning upon the following resolutions: Resolved, By the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress Assembled, First That the people of the Island of Cuba are, and of right ought to le, free and independent Second That it is the duty of the Government of the United States ment of Spain at once relinquish its authority and government in the In land of Cuba, and withdraw ita land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters. Third That the President of the directed and empowered to use the United States and to call into actual service of the United States the militia of the several States, to such extent as may be necessary to car ry these resolutions into effect. Fourth That the United States hereby disclaims any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over said island except for the paci5cation thereof, and asserts its determination when that ii accomplished to leave the government and control of the island to its people. The compromise between the Senate and the House, and the determi nation to stand by President McKinley meets with the approval of the people. The adoption of the report wa3 received ia both Houses with tu multuous manifestations of joy. An administration bill was introduced in the House yesterday, ena bling the President to call out 60,000 the National Guards of the various States. The Spanish Minister has ordered all Spanish Consuls to prepare for departure, taking with them all the Spanish subjects who desire to leave the country. Spaniards are fortifying the Cuban Coast It is authoratively stated that President McKinley will not delay in carrying out the express will of Congress, but that he has already pre pared an ultimatum whic'i will at once be communicated to Spain. n aj j ! j "11 1 1 .I 1 1 la 1 tie signal lor nosuiiiies win nna pared. Where the Money Will Coma From. The Republican members of the Ways-and-Meana Committee ot the House have practiilly completed the presentation of the revenue measure which will be pass ed to raise revenue sufficient to prosecute the war. The members propose that the present generation shall bear the burdens of the war, and, proceeding upon that theory, they have prepared a bill that will raise between ?HJ0,0uO,0(W and ?120,000,GOO ad ditional revenue per annum. The bill will provide for an additional tax ol ft ler barrel upon beer, from which $,0ti0, out) will be raised. On manufactured tobacco and snufT the internal revenue tax will be increased from six to twelve cents. This is expected to raise ?1,CMV lJ0of revenue. The increase on cigars and cigarettes has not been alisolutely fixed, but it probably w ill be oue dollar-on all classes. From thisSTVO0." is expected. The proposi tion which the Senate placed on the Tariir bill, but which weut out Id confer ence, to tax all stocks and transfers of corporations, is embodied in the t-cas-ure, together with practically all the schemes of Iuternal-Kevenue taxation of the Act of .Sort, which includes a stamp tax on all checks, drafts, and aud all in struments or business mortgages, loans, and bonds. A tax on patent and proprietary medi cines and a tax on telegraph messages aud express packages is also incorporated in the bill. This scheme of taxation is estimated to raise f ,'100,000. A duty of ten cents per pound is placed upon tea and three cenU per pound upon coffee, from w hich ?.js,000,0i is estimated. Rottled waters are to bear a tax similar to patent mediciues. For the pressing needs of the. Government, the Secretary of the Treasury Is given the general pow er to issue certificates of indebtedness payable in one year and to bear not to exceed three per cent, interest. The Secretary of the Treasury is also authorized to borrow on the credit of the Government, by popular subscription, a loan of f nW.OiXl.OOO. This loan is to be placed through the postollices of the conutry, the sub-Treasuries aud Govern ment depositories in low-rate bonds which are to be sold at par. They are to bear three per cent inter est and to be redeemable after five years at the option of the Government and to be due in twenty years. The principal aud interest are to be payable in coin. The measure will be presented to the foil Committee and it will be brought into the House as soou as the war resolu tions are signed by the President. Eatire Regular Army Ordered Soath. Decidedly the most warlike step taken by the War Department in preparing for the possibility of an encounter with Spain was inaugurated Friday when orders were issued for the concentration at four points in the South of six regiments of cavalry, twenty-two regiments of infant ry and the light batteries of five regi ments of artillery. At Chickamauga there will le six regi ments of civalry and the light battiies of five regiments of artillery : at New Or httiii. cijjlit regiments of infantry; at Tampa seven regiments of infantry, and at M ibile seven regiments of infantry. Kincethe civil war no such prop3rtion of the army has been mobilized and the movement itself is the best evidence of the gravity of the situation as looked up on by the President and his advisers. The determination to rendezvous the troops in the South, where they can be acclimated to the conditions of a more tropical climate, has been under consid eration by the President and his Cabinet for some time. It was not until Friday, however, that the President, iu view of the enormous expense which will 1 entailed, felt Justi G-d in taking this step. The command of the army will devolve upon Major General Nelson A. Miles, who is now at the bead of the military branch of the government. His temporary headquarters, it is said, probably will be at Atlanta, where Gen eral Graham, who has command of the Department of the Gulf, is now located. General Miles permanent headquarters will depend entirely upon the exigencies of the situation and the developments of the campaign. Lee Believes Spanish Official. Slew ap the Maine. Consul General Lee who left Havana on Saturday, arrived in Washington Tuesday afternoon and at once went le fore the foreign affairs committee. He talked freely with the members of the committee in regard to the conditions in Cub , and especially with reference to the destruction of the Maine. He said that in his opinion there was no room to douU that the destruction of the vessel was due to Spanish agencies. Do yon mean the Spanish authorities ! in Cuba? ho was asked by a member of the committee. ; "I mean the Spanish officials,'' he re- ' plied, bnt not General Blanco. I think aome of the officials were cognizant of the plans to destroy the vessel, but I do not !3lieve that the Captaiu General was." j t. uez united States to demand, and the does hereby demand, that the govern United States be, and he hereby is, entire land and naval forces of the or 70,000 volunteers instead of uoiu i'ie army anu navy well pre Spaia At a Disadvantage. Wasiiinotox, April 17. The action of Great Britian In declaring coal to be con traband of war, as reported from Jamaica, has a significance different from that attached to it in the dispatches. Such an order would not prevent a vessel of either Spain or the United States from taking coal at Kingston or any other port in the West Indies. Even when this article is contraband, it is usual to permit a vessel of a belligerent power to take aboard suf ficient coal to carry ber to the next port Once out of the port, however, the vessel takes her chances with her contraband cargo, and it is liable to seiz ireascontra- ianu 01 war while en route to a port of the belligerent power. Applying this rule to the present case, if aSpanish ship went to Kiugston for coal she would lie able to carry a supply sufficient to carry her to I'orto K100 or Cuba. When once away f 1 - : . .1 , . . 11 on, mutton me vessel ana her cargo would be subject to seizure by United States ships. The same would apply in case a ship of Great Britain or any other country was engiged in carrying s.ic'u a contraband article. The Hag would pro tect the ship as a whole, but it would not protect the contraband article on bard, the ship baingaiiliject ti scxreh and to seizure lor the contraband article. The rule would apply equ illy to ship . Ukiu coal in K'ngston for th use of tin United States naval vessels. In etfdct, however. the rule would be applicable mainly to Spain, as the United States naval vessels need not to look to British West Indies for their coal supplies, whereas SpanUh vessels would rely upon this as well as other West Iudian ports f r such plias. sup American 8ecamies Abroad J ho sales of American securities have been, according to London advices, verv large abroad of late, and there appears to be a tendency tow ard increase in the sales.

After four days of debate, participated in by a majority of tbe members of the Senate, a resolution declariug the Repub lic of Cuba to be "thn true and law ful government of the island," and directing the President to nse the naval and mili tary forces of theUuited States to drive the Spanish out of Cuba, was pa-wed by a vote of 07 to 21 at 9 o'clock Saturday night.

There is no doubt that she was blow n up by a mine. Mines were placeel in the harbor under orders of Spanish officials, by expert men. Their location was well known to a large number of men. "The Maine was anchored to a booy as signed by tbe harbor master, and was brought there by a pilot under order of the harbor master. She wa. moored over a mine, and no matter what the Spanish Government knew about the plan for blowing the Maine up, she is responsible to us for it.

We must put the island under the supervision of the United Slates Government ami give the Cubans a chance to show whethe r they are able to establish a stable government. "You know that beside the Cuban in surgent there arc the Autonomists, and which of the two parties will establish the stable government w hich we demand rem tins to be seen."
