Editor of The Sentinel—Dear Sir: Now that this South Main street question has come up again. let us have no half-way business or any temporary makeship about it; but let us go at it in the proper way to make a positive and permanent improvement. The streetoughttobewidenedatieast five feet on each side; there is no notation about it. Any cutting on of one foot or eighteeninches from each sidewalk tobethrown lntothestreetisamere makeship. The wear of the street shows plainly that the street should be widened and that the travel which is now concentrated should be distributed and spread out as much as possible. We can’t widen it all in one year he- caunc of the expense. but let us malts our am more right and widen say down to Monroe street to start with this year. then next summer pave it. with brick if netuzsssry. and the next year widen from Monroe street to lien- ry street. and follow that up in a sim- ilar way. Then in a low years we shall have an improvement to be proud of at a small average espouse. We under» stand that twenty-two propertyoown~ era are willing to give live not each at their land. Shall we put the cart be- fore the horse and pave South Main lli'lhli before we widen it? renounce. Ir. Kellogg's lather Dead.

The cafes were crowded with people all eagerly discussing the situation. and generally approving the attitude of the cabinet. A general rumor was current that the l’nitcd States government had pre— sented an ultimatum to the government of Spain. demanding that the latter. should within six hours modify the note presented as a result of the last conference. This rumor is in no way confirmed by those acquainted with the facts in the run. but it found credence throughout Madrid. The military pa— pers today are very violent in their ut~ terances against the United States. it is explained that the decisions to which the Spanish government ad- heres as announced in the semi-olelal note. refer to those outlined at the last conference between (larval Woodford the Spanish ministers.
