As outlined in our l'ottsville corre

Snyder, Ks., of l'ottsville, lo suc

cently resigned. The appointment
moet with general satisfaction,
and even those who favored some
other applicant will acknowledge the
selection is a popular uud deserving
one if party loyalty uud service is to
lie considered. Mr. Snyder will carry
to tho olllcu n mind trained in tlie
intricacies of tlie law und will en

that when ho retires at the expiration
of his term he will have fulfilled
every pledge made by those who
urged his appointment.
In these times of war talk, lot it bo
remembered that it is tho most extra
ordinary thing for Spain to order n
cessation of hostilities at this crisis.
If tho United States had dono the
same thing in 1802 or '0'J or '01 the
whole world would have known that
the Southern Confederaoy was a lUeil
fact. It would have been a practical
surrender of national sovereignty.
This is what tho Spanihh armistice
means, in ell'oet, though perhaps not
immediately, in its entirety. Should
the Cubans in tho Held reject this
olTer and continue their (struggle for
absolute independence, and should
the United States actively intervene
in their behalf, Spnin will surely re
sist and will expect to be supported
by soino of her neighbors at least,
how many and to what extent cannot
now be told. Hut the tueeti Hugent,
noting under the personal advice of
tho watchful head of tho Vatican,
will not be loft friendless. Of that
fact there can be no manner of doubt.
This brings matters to a head at
AViibliington, and all should under
stand tho gravity of tlio situation.
In defense of the "moral and mater
ial interests" of the Spanish King
dom there will bo a strong force
gathered, and if war is to bo precipi
tated it will lie no holiday allalr, no
sixty days' campaign, no mere picnic,
with speedy possession of Cuba and
the obliteration of tho Spanish navy.
It is, indeed, a most serious hour, mid
the people of this country cannot

Word reached lure yesteiday that the
Spanish consul at Kev West hail re
tired from the consulate theie because
of threats s.ilO to have been mail')
against his life. This Is the first re
moval nf n Spanish olllclal In the Uni
ted States as a result of the present
trouble. The consul at Key West re
ported the circumstances In his cas.
to the Spanish minister at Washington
and said the teellnR against the consul
Included those Spaniards at Key West
who supported the home government
As a result the consul and a number ot
Spaniards who have been living theie
have removed to Tampa, where It Is
Bald their safety is better assured.
The Spanish minister, Senor liernabe
feels that his prediction ot a more hope
ful turn of affairs have been verified
and there are no signs of impending
departure of the minister nnd his staff
He made specific denial yesterday ol
two published reports. One of these
was to the effect that he hud recentl
asked an audience at the state de
partment to submit certnln new propo
sitions. The minister also desired a
fenlal of the published statement that
he had been in conference with those
representing the plan for the purchase
of Cuba.
It was stated this mornlnu on high
authority that an arrangement Inn
been practically effected by which tin
senate Cuban lesolutloji may pass both
houses today. It is understood that
the foreign uffntrs committee of tlie
house and senate will confer for the
purpose of perfecting an agreement
whereby the Forakcr resolution will be
substituted for the other resolutions.
It will be modified by the elimination
of the second paragraph, which recog
nizes Cuban Independence, nnd other
slight changes made to conform to the
decision reached by the committees.
Members of the senate committee be
lieve that the resolution will pass both
houses by a practically unanimous
vote. It Is said that If necessary a
continuous slttlns will be had in the
senate In order to secure llnnl action
during the legislative day.
At the request of National Gunrd of

Washington, April 13. The burden oi
responsibility fur the next move in tlu
Spanish crisis having been shifted by
the president's ' message upon tin
shoulders of congress, the Capitol yester
day became the storm center, with thf
foreign affairs committees of the two
houses as the foci. The "struggle In
each committee was long nnd bitter,
with this marked difference between
that at tho senate wing and that at the
house end of the Capitol In the sen
ate committee the Democrats as well
as the Republicans pai tlcipated, while
at the house end the task was to se
cure harmonious action among the Uo
publlcnns so as to present, if possible,
a solid front when the Democrats were
finally called In for action.
The senate committee's resolution
will be the more radical of the two. It
will declare for Immediate Intervention,
a general recognition of the rights of
the Cuban people to freedom and Inde
pendence, and will demand the with
drawal of the Spanish forces from the
Island.
I!y a practically unanimous vote, the
Cuban conference of Itepubllcnn repre
sentatives decided last night to woik
In harmony with the house foreign af
fairs committee on lepresenlatlons of
the Intter's firm position to be Incor
porated In a leport to the house, ex
pected today. This is the most signifi
cant step yet taken by the body of
about three score aggressive Republi
can members whose course has been
towards ladical action. They were in
session for an hour yesterday at the
adjournment of the house, and after
some vigorous speeches and the sub
mission of a report on how the foreign
affairs committee stood decided that
they would be satisfied with the report
from the foreign affairs committee If it
made no change in the position It an
nounced to the steering committee, sub
stantially as follows:
Independent Cillinii (.'ovcriiinent.
A preamble reciting the conditions in
Cuba, consisting largely of quotations
from the president's message, which
constitutes a scathing arraignment of
Spanish misrule "and the barbarities of
the war, a vigorous leference to the
blowing up of the Maine and a resolu
tion authorizing, empowering nnd di
recting the president to Intervene at
once for the purpose of restoring peace
and order and the establishing of a
firm, stable and .independent govern-
menton the Island of Cuba, with tho
free consent of the people of the Island,
and empowering the president to em
ploy the army and navy forces of the
United States for this purpose.
There were r,T representatives present.
nnd while there were several who stood
out temporarily for more pronounced
notion on the line of recognition, they
finally agreed on the necessity, for uni
fying In the conclusion finally adopted.
Representative Hopkins, of Illinois,
presided, and among others who at
tended were Messrs. Joy and Hartholdt,
of Missouri; lielknap, Mann, Marsh und

shire; Hromwell, of Ohio; Aldrlch, ot
Alabama; Southwlck and Mitchell, of
Now York; Hicks, of Pennsylvania;
Johnson, of North Dakota, and Wey

During the afternoon the steeling
committee of nine, Mr. Helknap, of III-
lnois, chairman, had been before the
Republican members of the house for
eign affairs committee and secured an
Informal statement of their position.
The members of that committee stated
they had agrefd on a resolution to ba
reported today, substantially ns cited
above, with the exception of the words
"and Independent." Some of the mem
bers thought the resolution with that
omission would accomplish the same
ends as with the speclllc mention of
Independence, and might avoid un
plensunt complications that might pos
sibly arise with Its use. The steering
committee disagreed with that view,
however, and after some parleying tho
torelgn affairs committee agreed to
make It reed "stable and Independent

IHTTHItNnsS IN MADRID.
Senor Vnunitn Very Much D1sirittrd '
With the I'l'otldoul'H MoHMiiuo.
London, April 13. The Madrid corre
spondent of The Dally Mall telegraphs
as follows:
"The message has produced a very
deep and bitter Impression. Many
friends of the cnhlnet shnre In the
sentiments of general discontent. I am
assured on good authority that Senor
Sagasta Is very much disgusted with
tho message, seeing the dllllcullles
ahead as a consequence of It,
"The comments In political circles
are very heated. Many people believe
tho government ought to show greater
energy. Senor Morct, a lending and the j
most conciliatory member of the cabi
net, Is said to have expressed the
opinion thnt the message Is 'not so bud
as I had anticipated.'
"The Influential press Is rather re
served In Its comments, but, the lm-
Plesslon which the message has made
on the people at large Is very unfnvor- I
able. They, however, appreciate lh I
gravity of the situation, I
"Notwithstanding the rumors that j
tho Caiilsts have been fomenting the
war feeling, this Is not so. They have
never expiessed any sympathy with
the popular movement. On the con
trary, their lenders have exhorted their
followers lo remain quiet.
"The authorities continue the mili
tary and police precautions, but It Is
easy to see that -Mailt Id life goes on as
usual, with Its crowded bull fights,
concerts and theaters. Quite a number
of foreigners have come here for the
medical congress or are returning from
the Seville holy week festivities. The
news aspect of affairs has caused no
slackening In the naval and mllltnry
preparations, which have been pushed
with vigor, regardless of expenditures.
"Tho cortcs will meet In less than a
fortnight, and will be asked to vote
considerable credits. Should the strain
ed relntlons with America Incrense a
royal decree will be Immediately issued
to convoke the cortcs before April 25,
the date originally fixed. This Is quite
possible under the constitution, as the
members of the senate and the lower
chamber have been already elected In
the peninsula and In the West Indies.
"The conservatives say they consider
it loyal nnd patriotic to stand by the
queen regent und government In every
thing conducive to pence and a defense
of the Spanish rights In Cuba. Finan
cial Intel ests also side with the cabi
net, hut It cannot be denied that pop
ular feeling and military and naval
discontent ore serious and must he
handled without playing Into the hands
of unscrupulous and ambitious agita
tors. "131 Correo. Madrid's official organ,
last night gave Its first Impressions
since the reception of the cabled ab
stracts of President McKlnley's mes
sage. It says: 'President McKlnley's
Insistence on the right of American in
terference In Cuba is little agreeable to
Spain, while his complaints against the
prolongation of the war appear, to im
partial minds, steeped In bitter Irony,
In view of America's assistance in
causing the prolongation.' "

It is certainly gratifying to tlio public, to

BLADDER TROUBLES.
The bladder was created for one purpose,
namely, a receptacle fi r the urine, nnd asi
such it is not liable to any form of disease
except by one or two wa) s. The first way is
from imperfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is fiom careless local treatment of
other diseases.
SAMI'I.H SUNT FltKH.
UnlicaUhy urine from unhealthy kidneys is
the chief cause of bladder troubles. It is
comforting lo know that Ur. Kilmer's Swamp
Moot fulfills every wish in quickly curing
bladder and urinary troubles. It corrects ina
bilily to hold urine and scalding or stinging
pain in passing it, or bad ciTects following use
of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled toget
up many times during; the night to urinate.
Tlie mild and extraordinary efl'ect of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Koot is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures of
the most distressing cases. If you need a
medicine you should have tlie best. At drug
gists fifty cents and one dollar. Vou may have

schedule of the Florida Limited, tlie fast
