President Soon to Acknowledge
the Island’s Independence.
*INBEFIGIENGY or SPAIN
Unable to Preserve Order, and the United
States Must. Intcrvene—‘Vhether “'ar
Results or Not Depends on Spain—Ad-
ministration Ready to Act.
ii‘ashington, March 10.—The Admin-
istration realizes that while there may
be a peaceful settlement of the Maine
question, the greater one, that of Cuba,
still remains. To settle this the Pres-
ident and his Cabinet are preparing.
This means the independence of Cuba.
The President, in his message to Con-
gress, stated his plan in this matter.
He gave Spain an opportunity to put
autonomy into effect and asked her to
set a time when she would restore
peace on the island. The Administra-
tion has waited patiently for the Ma-
drid Government to name this date,
but 0 answer has been received.
It 1 evident to the President and his
Cabinet that when the report of the
Court of Inquiry and the Cuban cor-
respondence are made public, the Ad-
ministration must be prepared to act
as the President promised in his mes-
sage last December. Spain has per-
mitted the time to pass when anything
suffice.
The course of the President in the
last few days, the asking for a $50,000,-
000 appropriation, the active prepara-
tions for any emergency by all the de-
partments, and the taking of the pub-
lic into his confidence—all mean that
the real crisis is about at hand.
This is practically the universal opin-
ion in Congress, and it is more than
mere speculation. No doubt is felt
that the independenCe of Cuba is to be
recognized by this Government.
Whether this causes war depends upon
Spain. "I'he loss of the Maine is known
not to have been the result of an acci-
dent. If it is not shown to have been
the act of Spanish officials, or by their
connivance, it will still demonstrate the
inefficiency of Spainish control in“ Ha-
vana. The necessity of assistance by
this Government to prevent the depop-
ulation of the island by starvation,
confessed by the acceptance of the as-
sistance, is another evidence of the
helplessness of Spain to maintain in
Cuba the conditions of government.
The barbarities. proven and confessed,
show inability to preserve the forms
of civilization. Incapacity and loss of
control on the island are shown.
Intervention by this Government to
save the population from starvation is
the first step toward a broader inter-
vention to preserve life and property
and to save the island from becoming
a barren waste. The conditions in Cuba
have compelled Spain to acknowledge
the need and propriety of this Govern-
ment intervening to check devastation
by starvation. The right of further in-
tervention, if necessary, naturally fol-
lows. '
This is the View of the situation held
ex-
pected.
The passage of the fifty million ap—
propriation bill by Congress has
brough
tofore here has been apprehension
that evil would result from the Admin-
istration not being prepared for an
emergency, and, at the same time, it
was feared that the public steps neces-
sary to preparation would aggravate
the situation. Moreover, both parties
feared some break or evidence of lack
of harmony when the time came for
action. All these apprehensions have
been relieved by the unanimous vote
in both houses, and the knowledge that
the President is in condition to make
all necessary preparations without de-
lay. Further reason for satisfaction
is found in the belief that a policy has
been inaugurated which will result in
the final settlement of the irritating
Cuban question.
While the hope is entertained that
the unprecedented action of Congress
and the display of resources by this
Government will impress the Spanish
Government, yet there is not much
faith in the ability of Sagasta to con-
trol or resist Spanish public sentiment.
It is expected that Spain will be com-
pelled to choose between settling the
Cuban question peaceably herself on
the basis of independence. or having
this Government recognize the inde—
pendence of the island without consid-
‘ering the course Spain may see fit to
follow.
The steps that will be taken will not
be of‘a character to provoke Spain to
War, though it is thought they will
probably have that effect, and will cer-
tainly lead speedily to Cuban indes
pendence.
An evidence of the spirit with which
the question of supporting the Presi-
dent was approached was flirnished
Tuesday by the action of Speaker Reed.
Mr. Cannon, General Henderson and
Mr. Dalzell, the Republican members
of the Rules Committee and the chair,-
man of Appropriations Committee, in
leaving it to Mr. Sayers, the Democrat—
ic leader on the Appropriations Com-
mittee, to fix the programme for the
consideration of the defense bill. The
same spirit was shown when Mr.
Bailey, the Democratic leader. support-
ed by every Democrat in the House,
and the Populists, view with the Re-
publicans in a display of patriotism.
This was not the result of a momen-
tary impulse, .but was the formal en-
trance upon a policy of support of the
President and submergence of party
politics in this crisis which will con-
tinue until the close.
Cleveland Strike Over.
Cleveland, 0., March 10.—-—After more
than two months' hard fighting, the
Globe Ship Yard strike has been set-
tled. Thé‘ battle is declared off and
the men compelled to acknowledge a.
defeat, which may mean the disinte-
gration of their local union. Between
400 and 500 hands were involved in the
strike.
$100,000 Fire in Chicago.
Chicago, March 10.—'The three upper
stories of the building at the southeast
corner of Monroe and Market streets
were gutted by fire last evening. The
damage was about $100,000 to the struc—

And Remarkable Proofs that
the National Disease
Long Considered
lncurable
Can Be Cured and Has Been Cured
Right Here in Norwalk.
Mrs. William IV. Bloom, who lives
at- 7 Water street, Norwalk, says: “I
have been troubled with catarrh in mv
head and throat for some time. My
whole head was stuffed up; the pas—
sages of my head and throat would at
times become so filled with mucous that
I could not talk, and altogether it was
very annoying. I also suffered a great
deal of the time with headaches. Igot
a bottle of California Catarrh Cure at
Pleistedfs drug store in South Norwalk,
and I think it is the greatest stuff in
the world. It has cured me of all the
disagreeable Suffering I have had for so
longnny throat troubles me no more,and
Ihaven’t had a headache for weeks. I
have recommended it to several friends
who have used it with satisfactory re-
sults, and we all unite in saving it is a
wonderful medicine.” .
California Catarrh Cure is especiallv
prepared for treatment of the mucous
membrane. It. allays the inflammation.
checks the disease and arrests and re;
pairs the decay of this delicate lining.
It is a curative agent for colds,coughs
hay fever, bronchitis, asthma. and all
purely mucous affections. Use it dur-
ing and after a cold,~:uid you will never
have a. cold “hang on,” or even reach
the catarrhal stage. When catarrh is
once firmly fixed in the nasal passages
and throat. it begins to attack the
mucous membrane of the passage lead-
ing either to the lungs or to the stom-
ach. .The result of the former course
is ultimately consumption, of the latter
what. is commonly called some form of
indigestion or dispepsia. It is catarrh
at the stomach, intestines, kidneys and
various internal passages. California
Catarrh Cure will prevent and cure all
forms of catarrh, whatever the part af-
fected, and even will check incipient
consumption. It is sold by all dealers:
.150 cents, three times as much, one dol¥

HE LIVES IN A LOG HOUSE.
A Rich Bunker “7110 Will Not Desert His
Old Home and Its Associations.
Pendleton, Ind., is noted for many
historic incidents and landmarks, and
also claims the distinction of having
the only banker in the country who
lives in a log house. His name is
Morris Hardy, and he is known all
over this section of the State among
men of wealth and banking. He is the
cashier in the Pendleton bank. He is
one of the principle stockholders also,
and is wealthy. He has never ac-
quired any particular “swell head"
since becoming rich and successful in
banking, and every evening after his
work at the bank is completed he re-
tires to a common log house. It is by
no means a shackle or broken-down
affair. The furniture is up to date,
and everythig about the place bears
evidence that the occupant is by no
means a. miser or even close-listed.
The old place has memories hang- [
ing around it which are dear to the
banker, and he is content to let his
patrons live in swell residences while
he occupies the one made of logs. It.
was occupied by his father, Neal Har-
dy, and it was to this house that the
late Frederick Douglass was smug-
gled when mobbed at Pendleton, when
he first came into the north to plead
for the liberty of his race. Within
walls the noted man, then poor and
an outcast, was nursed back to life,
and when, in later years, his name
was known the world around, he
would come back to this little home
and spend his time with the quaint
old people—Chicago Chronicle.
AN AFRICAN PRAIRIE, DOG? '
Much Like the Species Found on Our
Western Prairies.
The meekrat of South Africa. bears
a. resemblance to the American prairie-
dog, but is more easily domesticated.'
It is a tiny little creature about as big
as a rat, very intelligent and affection-
ate as a dog when tamed.
It barks and chatters and purrs, is
an inveterate thief and spends much
of its time standing upright. Its fur
is gray, marked somewhat like a tab-
‘by cat, and it is wholly‘without fear.
The dog is its favorite animal, and,
when tamed, the meekrat invariably
attaches itself to the most good-na-
tured dog in the house.
'When wild, these little animals live
in colonies as the prairie dogs, burrow-
ing their homes underground, living
on roots. They express supreme sat-
lying flat down and
stretching themselves out so that they
seem like a flat skin without any bones
inside it. -
The little creatures have black cir-
cles around their eyes, a striperun-
ning underneath their bodies for its
entire length and long, curving black
claws on their little fore paws-Gold-
