At only the war and navy departm.-nU J 1 ‘ were there signs of an impending ' conflict in the rush of immediate orders to h host of naval officers to report at once |or duty on vessels to which they fere assigned, and in conference among bureau chiefs on details of ’war preparations. And yet, the resolve was firm' r than evet that unless Spain yield ed to America’s Cuban demands the United States by force of arms would move otv Havana. • There was still discusfi>n of Cuban af fairs which re' propositions, without recoj independence gents and inter curfent recogu THEY ARE DEMOCRATS. tbe Prohibit Ioni*t» May Nominate Wit hi u Party—May Convention Called, • The prohibition movement has scored a point. The game, however, has just be gun, but there is a striking signifi cance in the point they have gained. It has been a mooted question as to whether or not the prohibition ists could run a regular ticket inside the Democratic party. The State Democratic executive com- mittee decided last night that they couln. An effort, probably unintentional, was made to divert the decision from the direct query, but the com mittee expressed itself unqualified ly on the point of law, and a number of the members declared themselves iu favor of and would support prohibiton. It was also decided to call the May convention. 4 The following resolution pre sented and adopted settled the pro hibition matter: “Resolved, That it is the sense of this committee that any Demo crat, however soggeeted, who com plies with the rules of the Demo-*! would recede cratio party by filling his pledge in tbe form required by the con stitution and rales of the party, is entitled to run iu the State Demo cratic primary and tn have the votes cast for him coanted.”— Register. d aroaud two y, intervention of national Cuban iusur- ution with cop- Sf the f peudence of thb present insurgent of governmentofCuha. Some pub lic men hovered between these two propositions and favored a compromise. Tt^pre was no defi nite lead by which could be stated with anything like authoritative- uess which course would be adept- ed, but the unsettled state of pub lic opinion on the matter indica ted that events of the next few dayr—the strength of the argu ments of the forthcoming presi dential message or a distinct ut terance from our consul general to Cuba might be strong enough to incline the balance to either coarse. The cabinet held its usual Fri day session, but its meeting brought no change in the Spanish situation. Indeed, it was chiefly significant in establishing that no change had occurred, that none was expected and that the pro gramme of action on the part of the United States government was already made up. The president’s message remains unaltered, and this being the last cabinet day be fore now and Monday, barring al together unexpected developments from Madrid. After the meeting, cabinet officers stated that the message would be sent to congress on Monday, no change iu that re spect having been considered, and all causes for delay hiving been removed. The feeling to that end had come to diplomatic talk, and that action alone remained, was shared in all quarters, including the foreign embassies and lega tions, where tbe ambassadors and ministers expressed the feeling that all has been done iu Wash ington that can or will be done in the causs of peace. What is going on at Madrid gives slight hope of such concessions there as will altar the. present situation. There aie no negotiations in the sense of ex changes on pending propositions- Both parties apparently have sa'd their last word concerning the re spective propositioos. Certainly this is true as totheUuitedStates, and there were no evidences to day* that the Spanish government would recede. It is even doubtful whether a concession of au i rmis- tice by Spain wqnld be sufficient at thia late moment to tarn the situation into peaceful channels. Preparations for all eventuali ties are being harried to comple tion. General Lee will leave Action of the Hoard of Visit or* of II,r Citadel Academy. Charleston, April 8 —Tbe State’s forecast of the outcome of the in vestigation of the board of visitors of the South Carolina Millitary academy came to piss th s after noon when 64 cadets wi re dismiss ed from the CitaiM. The board met at 10 o’jlock this morning and was in session until 2 o’clock, when it adjourned to meet again at 4 o’clock. It met simply to declare its findings, which was done in a! few minutes. The cadets were as sembled and the decision of the hoard was announced to them. The expected demonstration did not take place. They received the news of the expulsion of more than one-half of their number with absolute sileuct^. Tl$e cadets whom the' re port *Trffel5T^(r were given two hours to pack their trunks and leave the Citadel. At 8 o’clock to-night the corps had dwindled down to 62 boys and many of the rooms of the barracks are empty. The work of the Citadel will go on as usual and it is sale to say that better discipline will be main tained. The ringleaders of last Monday’s outbreak have given trouble, it is said, ever since they entered the walls of the Citadel aud their ab sence will be salutary to the well being and good order of the State’# military institution. The expulsion of the cadets was looked for. The number dismissed would not have been so large had not the cadets all agreed to “do or die together-” They all claimed equal responsibility in the revolt and refused to take advantage of any’ extenuating circumstances. The dismissal of the cadets ot the third and fourth classes is not ab solute aud they may apply for re- admission at the next meeting of the board.—The State. A Nntril Atlnnin Cur. For four years I have been af flicted with a very troublesome nasal catarrh. So terrible has its nature been that when I blew my nose small pieces of bone would frequently coma out of my mouth and nose. The discharge was copious, and at times very offen sive. Mv blond became so impure that my general health was greatly impaired, with poor appetite and worse digestion. Numerous med icines were used without relief, until I began the use of Botanic Blood Balm—B. B. B.—and three bottles acted almost like magic. Since its use, over a year, not a symptom has returned, and I feel in every way quite restored in health. I am an old oitisen of Atlanta, and refer to almost any one living on Butler atreet, and more particular to Dr. L. M. Gil- lam, who knows my case. Mus.
