Summary of the Daily News.
WASHINGTON NOTKS.
Gov. Holco.mh, of Nebraska, sent 8
telegram to President McKinley ten-
dering the state militia to the govern-
ment.
Washington was quiet on the sth
and there was hardly a ripple to show
that war was near. The cabinet held
its usual session, but there were no
new developments in the Spanish sij,
nation to place before it. Prepara-
tions for all eventualities were being
hurried to completion in the war and
navy department.
Thkkk was a rumor at Washington
that the flying squadron was held in
readiness by Commodore Schley to in-
tercept. the Spanish torpedo flotilla,
now at Cape l)e Verde islands, if they
attempted to continue their voyage to
Cuba, as that, under the circumstances
would be construed as an act of war.
Tiik members of the ways and means
committee of the house are busily en
gaged with the treasury officials in the
work preliminary to the drafting of a
war revenue measure to be introduced
in congress immediately upon the
opening of hostilities with Spain.

8IOC,000,000 and a permanent loan of
Jrom $300,000,000 to #500,000,000 at three
per cent., payable in coin, has also
been prepared and will be immedi
ately made in case of war.
Mk. Hf.ath. first assistant postmas-
ter gerieral, has received a letter from
Mrs. Florence V. Swain, of Ocala, I1 la ,
saying that she believed there was as
great a necessity for charity among
the refugee Cubans in Florida
among' those who are in their native
country. She wants congress to apply
some of the stores and funds for suc-
coring1 the reeoncentrados for their re-
lief and also appeals to the charitable
people of the country for private con
t ri tuitions.
Sknok Polo v Hkrnahk, the Spanish
minister, delivered a note to the state
department at Washington on the
night of the 10th, stating that the
Spanish government bad granted an
armistice to the Cuban insurgents
without condition and that liberal in
stitntions had been granted to the is
land which the coming Cuban parlia-
ment would adopt. The note also
mentioned the sympathy expressed by
the Spanish government on the disas-
ter to the Main* and offered to submit
that qnestion to experts designated
by the inaritin/a powers of the world.
Tiik announ< ement was njade by the
war departing .'it that Gen. Sehofield
has been taken from the retired list
and assigned to duty as military ad
viser to the president and secretary of
war.

ton placing the Chickamauga camping
ground under the jurisdiction of Gen.

t he lakes.

consuls in Cuba in regard to the con-
ditions there, which the president
transmitted to congress on the llth

effigy by a party of radical republicans
at Klgin, 111. They selected a tree on

ered and jeered at the suspended figure
until a police officer cut it down.
Bio Cabin post. No. 0, G. A. It., at
South McAlester, I. T., recently passed
resolutions to raise funds from all
the posts and the entire membership
throughout the United States for the
purpose of presenting the national
government with a first-class battle-
ship. The members pledged them-
selves to pay $8 per capita. Copies of
the resolutions were sent to President |
McKinley, Secretaries Long and Alger j
and Gens. Miles and (Jovin.
Tub I)upontrl)e Nemours company
at Wilmington, Del., have received u |
contract from the United States gov-
ernment for furnishing $15,000,001
worth of powder.
Tiik withdrawal of (Jen. Lee from |

Clara Barton has also left Havana the

lias collected in New York will be
placed in warehouses all perishable
goods being sold at auction and the
proceeds turned into a general fund.
Tiik London papers comment on Pres-
ident McKinley's message to congress
on the llth. The Daily News said it
must convince Kurope that the case for
American intervention is strong. The
Standard thought it was a pity the
message could not have been further
postponed. The Times comments upon
the grave responsibility which Presi-
dent McKinley throws on congress and
thought the president ouifht to have
kept back the message and thus gained
more time for peace. The Post thought
the message vague. The Chronicle said
the message called a halt and threw
upon congress the responsibility of
making war.

cree.

Thk London morning paper edito-
rials on the 8th on the Cuban situation

hoping that the delay would enable

Times could not see how a conflict could
be avoided. The Daily News pointed out

sired war. Special dispatches from

likewise recorded the same feeling of
hopelessness of avoiding a conflict.

A Comir History of Guece, from the Eur

The author of thin work has set himselt
the task of making a truly serious wet of cir-
cumstances. exceedingly funny. He has
unquestionably succeeded, as he expresses I
it. He wrote the hook for the purpose of
getting even with the myths and heroes of
antiquity who caused him such anguish in
school days. The Comic History of Greece
is witty and humorous, without being vul-
gar. About 150 illustrations illuminate the
lines from the pencils of a half dozen artists.

MRS P. A DIXON.
Mrs. F. A. Dixon, assistant editress or the
Kansas City. Mo., Sprig of Myrtle, had
catarrh. Being a woman actively engaged
in business it was very annoying. However,
her family remedy was Pe-ru-na. and from
its use she experienced great relief. Her
husband praises Pe-ru-na very highly and
says he considers it a good investment to
keep it in his home.
Pe-ru-na enjoys a national reputation as a
catarrh remedy. It is the only systemic
catarrh remedy yet devised. A thorough
course of Pe-ru-na eradicates catarrh from
the system. Its cures are permanent. It
thoroughly cures very old cases ol chronic ca
tarrh that have resisted all other treatment.
It has cured cases of twenty five years' stand
ing. People afflicted with catarrh should
begin a course of Pe-ru-na at once. The
spring-time is the best season for this pur
,.t>se. The rigors of winter have passed,
with its chilling blast and freezing gales
The blizzard is gone and in its place the
balmy zephyrs of spring have come. A
short course of treatment with Pe-ru-na
now will work wonders. Now is the best
time. No set-backs from fresh colds, no
delays from unvent dated rooms. People
(if high and low station recommend Pe-ru-na
North, South, Fast and West use it as the
-upreme catarrh remedy of this generation.
Everybody should have a copy of Dr. Hart
man's iatest books on chronic catarrh. Sent

Company, Columbus, Ohio.

the 7th waited upon Senor Gullon, the
foreign minister, and presented a joint
note in the interests of peace. Senor
Gullon, replying, declared that the
members of the Spanish cabinet were
unanimous in considering that Spain

whites and four negroes were wounded.
Fiftkkn Spanish men-of-war were to
leave C adiz, Spain, 'for Cape Verde
islands and several battalions bad
started to reinforce the garrison at the
Balearic islands, in the Mediterranean
a dispatch from Madrid on the 7th
stated.
When the lungs ore attacked and the
symptoms of consumption appear, then
begins the struggle between affection and
that destroying disease which slays its
thousands annually. It is a happy issue
to the struggle when disease is conquered
and health restored. Such an issue does
not always end the struggle, but it did in
the case of Mr. K. Morris, Memphis, Tenn.,
who saw his wife wasting and weakening
and physicians helpless, and then sue
gested the simple lemedy that wrought
the cure. He tells the story thus:
"Seven years ago, my wife had a severe
attack of lung trouble which the phy-
sicians pronounced consumption. The
cough was extremely distressing, espe-
cially at night, and was frequently
attended with the spitting of blood. The
doctors being unable to help her, I in-
duced het to try l)r. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
and was surprised at the great relief it
gave. Ilefore using one whole bottle she
was cured, so that now she is strong and
quite healthy. That this medicine paved
my wife's life I have not the least doubt.
I always keep Dr. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
in the nouse. Whenevei any of my family
have a cold or cough we use it, and are
-K. Morris, Memphis
1 promptly cured."-
! Tenn.
| The question: "Ts consumption cura-
' ble?" is still debated, and still debatable.
It is easy to say that this was not a case of
consumption. Yet the physicians said it
was. They should know. As a matter
of fact, Dr. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral has
i wrought so many similar cures that it
seems to argue tin- cnrableness of con-
j sumption in its earlier stages, by the use
I of this remedy. There is no better medi-
cine for pulmonary troubles than Dr.
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, it gives relief i
cases of Asthma, and Bronchitis, where re-
lief has been heretofore unattainable. It
promptly cures Coughs and Colds, I.n
Grippe, and all affections of the throat
and lungs. Heretofore, Dr. Aver's Cherry
, Pectoral has been put up in full size
bottles only, at fi.oo per bottle. To meet
, awotld-wiae demand for a smaller pack-
, age, the remedy is now put up in half size
j bottles, at half price—v> cents. Write for
Dr. Ayer's Curebook (fret) and learn more
of the cures effected by Dr. Ayer's Chi rry
