London, April C The Madrid corre
spondent of The Times suvs: "The

gress is Ihe cloud which grows more
Imminent. The reported mediation of
the pope sent stocks up yesterday with
a rush. Today they may fall back just
"The talk of armistice has done
something toward Inducing calm, al
though armistice is admittedly no
magic word, but a verbal expression
for a fact struck by at least two mill
tnnt parties. Today It Is being remem
bered that, before the armistice pro
jected In Cuba becomes an accomplish
ed fact, no fewer than five parties
must be consulted In one form or other.
These are the United States, the Au
tonomists of Cuba, the Autonomists of
tho mother country, the government of
the mother country nnd tho rebels In
the field.
"It ha3 been usual of late, perhaps
unreasonably usual, to attribute every
sinister Impression to a Jingo source.
No Imputation whatever of jingoism
can bo attached to FA Liberal, which
Is mlnlsteilal, deliberate and unsen
satlonal, and has loyally stood by the
government In every detail of their
procedure until quite recently. Today
El Liberal says It 'fears the ray of light
serves only to show the darkness, nnd
that tho guiding thread leading the
way out of the labyrinth Is snapped.'
The effect of the Cuban cabinet's mani
festo Is regarded here as doubtful, for
similar experiments have been tried
before, and unsuccessfully.
"For many days past there has been
talk of an armistice, which Is now be
ing attributed to the papal scheme of
mediation, but the talk should have
gone deeper. The stereotyped expres
sion, 'peace with honor,' Is just now
the veritable watchword of Spain, but
If peace means the sacrifice of her pet
policy, or an armistice conducing to
that loss, the result, In the unswerving
opinion of the Spaniards, would bo na
tional dishonor, and war, external or
civil, will bo preferred. Such is the
creed of this country, which professes
that it will welcome pence If presented

In the form of a gilded pill, never.
"If mediation comes, it comes late;
whether too late events will duly show.
Passions are running high, while the
American congress so Madrid has been
told Is not a barrier to be likely over
riden even by a president with a sensi
ble majority at his back. This latter
Is the reason why today 131 Liberal,

to hear what congress will say to the

Ponnsytvniiln'H Keonomlo Zoologist
AViih Over oniolou,
Harrisburg, April C. When Governor
Hastings arrived home from tho Pa
cific slope he found a curious tale
awaiting him. The legislature of last
year authorized the reprinting by the
agricultural department of a pamph
let on the "Diseases and Knemles of
Poultry," covering 12S pages, and pro
pared by Dr. II. It. Warren, economic
zoologist, and Dr. Leonard Pearson,
state veterinarian. Dr. Warren's por
tion of the pamphlet covered 41) pages,
und Dr. Pearson's 77 pages. Dining
the governor's absence his private sec
retary, Lewis E. Heltler, discovered
that the work, which was being done
by former State Printer Husch under
his old contract, had been enlarged to
1,000 pages, of which Dr. Warren con
tributed S25 pages and Dr. Pearson his
original number. Dr. Warren's por
tion of the pamphlet had been enriched !
by the Insertion of 101 beautifully fin
ished plates of the birds and beasts of
Pennsylvania. Some have as high as '
1G colors, and there are eight half tone 1
pictures of Pennsylvania scenery.
The original edition of tho pamphlet j
cost $4SS.24. while the total cost of the
proposed edition was estimated to be i
53,200, or an average of $3.C0 per copy. I
The entire cost of tho proposed edition
is 109 times the cost of the original edi
tion. Mr. IJeltler, by the advice of
Secretary Martin, at once put a stop to I
further printing, although the book j
was virtually iiwuiug uiuutug.
It was found that the otuer for the
t was rounu mat tne oruer ror tne
nting had not been given by Secre-
y of Agriculture Edge, the head of

und Pearson. Secretary Edge yester
day, by authority of the governor, or
dered the reprinting of the original
pamphlet at 13 conts each. Dr. Henry

terday appointed to the position of
economic zoologist, made vacant by
the resignation of Dr. AVarren.

DIPLOMATIC TALK.

SpniiMi Trouble.
Washington, April G. That the presi
dent's meisagre will go to congress to
day was th best information obtain
able In VahiriKi"ii laBt evening,
through the kaleidoscope of Internal
events appears to be moving so rapidly
at Miulrld lis to make possible some
new and possibly ivmarkuhle change
In the aspect of affairs thnt will pre
vent this statement holding good. The
message Is ready, makes about 7,00
words, and has ln-ni approved by the
cabinet. It recommends armed inter
vention, but so far as known without
stating that tills should be Immediate
by the United Slues, to prevent hos
tilities and succoi for the starving peo
ple. It makes an argument against
recognition of Independence nt tills
Urn1-, and leaves It clear that In the
opinion of the nilmlnisttallon it is the
duty of the government to sitneivlsc
the affalis of the island until, In the
light of fuller and later knowledge, n
stable government can be established.
The attitude of congress on this policy
cannot be foretold In advance of Its
ofllclai promulgation In the president's
message.
Tie' day was proline of reports of
mediation on the part of the Kuropean
powers, but a summary of all the news
on this point is that the powers of
M. JULES CAMIJON.
Europe cannot agree, and that their
interference would lie unacceptable to
the government of the United States.
Throughout the day unusual activity
was manifest at the foreign embassies
and legations representing the great
powers of Europe. These representa
tives are the Uritlsh ambassador, Sir
Julian Pauncefote; the French am
bassador, M. Cambon; the German am
bassador, Dr. Von Holieben; the Ital
ian charge d'affaires, Count Vinci, and
the Austrian minister, Mr. Yon Ilengel
muller. These oflhials were kept fully
advised from their foreign offices, nnd
It was expected that a concerted move
ment would be made nlmost any mo
ment. About midday the British am
bassador went to the French embassy
nnd conferred with M. Cambon on the
situation, and shortly after Count Vinci
was at the British embassy. Again, at
D o'clock, it was understood that the
French ambassador and Austrian mln
Ister conferred with Sir Julian at the
British embassy. Hut while conferences
were thus going on. and apprehension
was keen over an anticipated move, It
could not bo learned up to a late hour
that any actual olfer of mediation had
eventuated. It.ceitainly had not been
made up to the close of oincc hours at
the state department.
The German ambassador, Dr. Von
Holieben, appears to be tho only one
not actively participating In the con
ferences, but there Is reason to believe
he Is kept fully advised on tho sent!
ments at Berlin concerning the Spanish
situation. Accompanying the diplo
matlc comment was an undercurrent
of suggestion that developments!!! Cuba
were not unlooked for, and that the
pressure of the powers and the pope on
Spain might yet bring about an armis
tice In which both Spanish troops and
insurgents would participate. Viewed
from tho official standpoint here, the
time for that has gone by, and there
Is little likelihood that the Insurgents
could be Induced to luy down their
arms even for a time.
The Spanish minister, Senor Polo do
Beranbe, did not take part In any of
tho diplomatic conferences nor did he
have occasion to visit the state depart
ment dining the day. If the negotla
Hons have taken nny new direction It
has been between Minister Woodford
and the authorities at Madrid, and not
at Washington.

A TEXAS ELECTION.

Prompt l.ynHitnir.
Brownsville, Tex., April 0. The city
election here Monday resulted In blood
shed ns the result of the contest be
tween the two factions known ns the
Beds and the Blues. The lied ticket,
with Eben Cobb at Its head for mayor,
wns defeated. John Carson, nominee
of the Blues, wns victorious. When
the result was made known early yes
terday morning the Beds set up a cry
of fraud. Counter charges were made
by their opponents, and the affair cul
minated In the -drawing of flrenrms.
Carter Guillen, a Blue, the editor of
a paper here, received tho first wound.
Hushing Into the street he sprang on
a horse and drew his pistol. Jnllor
Cobb, who was also mounted, attempt
ed to arrest Guillen, but the latter was
quick with his pistol, and at the llrst
shot fatnlly wounder Ihe jnllor. Con
stable Cobb, who lushed to hlsbrollni's
aid, was met by a bullet from Guil
len's revolver, which ended Ids life.
Lorenzo Guillen, the son of the editor,
then appeared on the scone nnd fired
a shot Into Constable Cobb's body.
Guillen, It witB learned, was first shot
by a man named Charles. He was soon
arrested, and together with the boy,
Lorenzo Guillen, was jailed. Hardly
15 minutes had passed befoie a mob of
300 men formed nnd marched to the
Jail. The door of the frail structure
was soon battered down and in two
minutes Guillen was dead his body
perforated by bullet. The boy escaped.

WHAT IT INDICATES
Nothing so interferes with one's plans or
ambition like sickness or poor health. Have
you ever thought that your kidneys may be the
cause of your sickness? You can easily find
out by setting aside your urine for twenty-four
hours ; a sediment or settling indicates an un
healthy condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble.
l'oo freiment desiic to urinate or pain in the
back, isalso convincing proof that the kidneys
and bladder arc out of order.
It is a source of comfort to know that Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is the great remedy for
all kidney and bladder complaints. It relieves
pain, stitcli or dull aching in the back, difficult
or painful urination, frequent desire to urinate,
scalding or pain in passing it, and quickly
overcomes lliat unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times during the
night. The mild and extraordinary effect ol
Swamp-Koot is soon realized, its nction is
gentle, yet immediate, the relief speedy and
die cures permanent. At druggists fifty cents
and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle
and pamphlet, both sent free by mail upon
receipt of three two cent stamps. Men
tion II I'.RALD and send your address to Dr.
Kilmer- & Co., liinghatnton, N. Y. The
proprietors of this paper guarantee the genuine
ness of this offer.
Beats the Klondike.
Mr. A, C. Thomas, of Marysville, Texas.,
has found a more valuable discovery than has
yet been made in the Klondike. For years lie
suffered untold agony from consumption, ac
couipanied by hemorrhages ; and was abso
ltttely cured by Dr. King's New Discover)
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. He
declares that gold is of little value in com
parison with this marvelous cure ; would
nave it, even if it cost a hundred dollars a
bottle. Asthma, llronchitis and all threat and
lung affections are positively cured by Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption.
Trial bottles free at A. Wasley's Drug Store.
Regular si?e 50 cts. and $1.00. Guaranteed
to cure or price refunded.
