M’KINLEY AND SPAIN. Repbrt That His Forthcoming Ulti- matum Will Stir Up the-Dons. THE WAB. MUST BE STOPPED. Peace, With Indemnity, to Be Proposed. American Citizens Must No Longer Be L. 111 Treated—Spain May Resent the Interference of Uncle Sam. New York, June 11.—Spain has lost control oi the island of Cuba. Spain has failed and is powerless to protect the lives and property of Amer- ican citizens. Spain has failed to comply with its treaty obligations. , These are said to be he vital points of President McKinley’s forthcoming ulti— matum to Spain, according to the New York Journal, which declares further that every diplomat, every member of congress, every politician is-asking the natural question, “Will the president’s ultimatum mean war with Spain?” All are agreed that it does mean a grave crisis, with a declaration of war as a distinct possibility. It further means that the position of the United States will be made known to Spain and with that country will be left the responsibility of graver proceed- ings. ' Time to Call a Halt. Consular reports that have told of a. terrible state of affairs in Cuba whereby American citizens and the property of American citizens have been unsparing- ly robbed of treaty rights by Spanish officials and the distinct tone of the report of the commissioners who inquir- ed into the Ruiz outrage have impressed President McKinley with the necessity of bringing Spain to a realization of the position in which her violations of her friendly agreement with this country have placed her. The president has determined, The Journal says, that American property shall suffer no longer, and that out- rages on Americans like [that which brought about the death of Dr. Ruiz must not be repeated. To this end he will address to Spain a communication, friendly in tone and intent, but firm and unwavering in its demands. Terms of the Note. This communication to Spain is being prepared under the direction of Judge Day, the assistant secretary of state. While it will go directly from the state department, it will bear the information to Spain that it has been written at the direction of the president himself. The mediation of the United States to bring about peace on the basis of Cuban in- dependence on the payment of an in- deninity will be offered. The note’ 5 first mpresentation will be that Spain has lost control of the island of Cuba, and evidence of the existence and main- tenance of a successful revolution will be given showing the sections and areas held by Spain and the revolutionists in a comparative shape. Then it will be asserted: That Spain has failed and is power- less to protect the lives and property of American citizens. The strongest of the representations, the one most likely to bring about dire- ful complications, is this—that Spain has failed to comply with her treaty ob- ligations. In one long list will be given the cases in which American citizens have been illegally arrested and illegally punished by the‘fipanish officials. These will be the stated reasons for the offer of mediation by the United States. The note will argue the reasons for the pres- entation of the note. In plain but diplomatic language it will be proved that Spain is powerless to crush the revolution; that it cannot pacify its rebellious colony. Effect of Recognition. It will then be intimated that the ef- fect that might follow the recognition of the Cubans by the United States would be that the island would" at once take its place among inde- pendent nations, and Spain Would be regarded as an intruder fighting for the dominion of a people recognized as free. In this connection the bearing of the Monroe doctrine upon such a state of circumstances will be clearly outlined. The indemnity to be paid by Cuba, to be determined by arbitration if nec- essary, will be large enough to reim- burse Spain in a. large measure for the value of Spanish property in Cuba and offset the portion of interest on Cuban bonds now paid out of the revenue coming from the island. “’11! Spain Accept? The Spanish minister, Dupuy dc Lorne, has been given an intimation of the contents of the president’s ultima- tum. He has given a diplomatic reply to this intimation. He has declared that Spain will acoept the note in a friendly Spirit. That answer, however, carries with it no indication that Spain will ac- cept the offer of mediation. It is with the knowledge of this non- committal attitude of the Spanish rep- resentative that ”the belief is held in diplomatic circles that the sending of the ultimatum may result in grave complications between the two coun- tries, certainly in a forced recognition of the belligerency of the Cubans, no matter what Spain’s answer may be, and possibly in a war which the United States must begin in order to insure the safety of her subjects in Cuba and that of her property. Basrelief of Russell Sage. Troy, N. Y., June 11.——The unveiling of a bronze bas—relief of Uncle Russell Sage was a feature ofthe Emma Wil- lard seminary commencement exercises here. The bronze is the gift of Mrs. and not Mr. Sage. Uncle Russell was too ill to attend the commencement. Mrs. Sage, who intended the likeness as a surprise to her husband, made the presentation address. President McKinley Criticised. London, June 11.—The Pall Mall Ga- zette publishes a long editorial on the business and political outlook in Amer- ica and criticises President McKinley, who, it says, instead of playing the part of president, has been satisfied with the role of a party man. S‘It also says his efforts for international bimetallisrn are futile. ' Rogers to Row Durnan.

IS'ICIIIIIIILC EVIDENCE. Cf IIorwalk’s And Remarkable Proofsthat the National Disease Long Considered Incurable. Needs. Can be Cured and Has Been Cured Right Here in Norwalk. Mrs. William W. Bloom, who lives at . 7 Water street, N orwalk, says: “ I have been troubled with cataarh in my head and throat for some time. My whole head was stuffed up; the passages of my head and throat would at. times become so filled with mucous that I could not talk, and altogether it was very annoy- ing.. I also suffered a great deal of the time with headaches. I got a bottle of California Cataarh Cure at. Plaisted’s drug store in South N orwalk, and I it is the grandest stuif in the world. It has cured me of all the disagreeable sufi'ering I have had for so long; my throat troubles me no more, and I haven’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 saying it is a wonderful medicine.” California Catarrh Cure is especially prepared for treatment of the mucous membrane. It. allays the inflamation, 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, and 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 passages 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 of 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; 50cents, three times as much, one dollar. SEARKEY AND MAKER PREP... Magmtratc Declares That the Contest Was hot 21. l’rizafight. New Yalk June 11.—Magistrate Cor— nell, sitting in the H.11len1 PJIICE couit, iischarg cd 1 e141 Mahei and Tom Shar- key. the pugilists. He held that the bout at the Palace Athletic club was not a prizefight. Maher seemed in good spirits and looked as fresh and bright as if he had never engaged in a prizefight. In con- versation with a reporter he said: “I do not believe that we violated the law. There was no blood drawn, as far as I know. I didn’t hear the bell ring. and that is the reason I did not bl'Colk away. Some one told me that the bell had rung. “‘As I started away from Sharkey he hit me from behind in the neck. Then i ran back and grabbed him to protect myself. I am very much dissatisfied with the result, because I had just be- gun to fight in earnest. If I had been allowed one more round, I thinl’l could have knocked him out. I was ironger at the end of the fight than I was at the beginning. I feel first rate and have not a scratch or a mark on me.” Steve Brodie, Sharkey’s bondsman, had to voice his feelings, too. “It was a dead slow fight," he said. ”You'd have thought the men were a couple of undertakers. They didn‘t fight at all. The arrest is an outrage on the 0freedom of the American people, see?” Sharkey was surly. His remarks were not pleasant to hear. “I can lick Maher at any stage of the game, and he knows it,” he said. When the m8n were called up Magis irate. Cornell asked Inspector McLaugh- lin what the charge was. “Prizefight- lng,” responded the inspector. “I don‘t see how it is prizefighting," said Magistrate Cornell. “I have care- fully read the newspaper accounts this morning, and I think you did perfectly right to stop the contest. It had reach- ed the point of brutality, evidently, but I don’ t think it can be called prizefight- ing.’ He then discharged the pugilists. GOSTLY CANNON BLOWN UP. Premature Explosion of a Shell Loses 840,000 For Uncle Sam. Washington, June 11.—The tremen- dous explosion that marked an experi- ment with a new 13 inch gun that the government was testing at the proving grounds is the subject of investigation by United States officers. The government loses a gun the cost of which was $40,000. It was a brand new rifle, and this was the first time that a full charge had ever been fired from it. The accident was caused by the ex- plosion in the gun of a gathmann shell charged with 330 pounds of gun cotton. The weight of the gun was 135,500 pounds, and it seems miraculous that no one was hurt. Lieutenant M. E. Hall was in charge of the firing of the gun. He fortunate—r ly stationed himself farther away than the bomb proof shelter, which was par- tially wrecked. Fourth Class Postmasters.
