President’s MensaBe Kxpeeled T<»-day nt Nuon—Spnlu Wants the Maine Ouestiou Submitted to Experts. Washington, April 10.—At the close of the second cabinet meet ing to-night it was announced that the President’s message undoubt edly would go to Congress at noon to-morrow. On the best authori ty obtainable, it was stated -that the meeting was devoted wholly to the consideration of additions to the message of the latest note from Spain, advising this government of the declaration of an uncondi tional armistice. The suffix to the President’s message merely recited this latest event in the development of. the Spanish question, giving the Sub stance of tbe Spanish note and “recommending the earnest atten tion of Congress.” Otherwise the message stands unchanged. After the meeting, one member of the cabinet said the Spanish Dote had not altered either the message or the situation. “It is mefijly,” said he, “what Spain has .fbeen asking for all along—more lime It does not touch the 8itng|ion, and tbe ai precisely as it was before—mf: stating the fact of this last devel opment.” ArmUtlec Without Couditiona. The Spanish government, through its minister at Washington, Senor Polony Bernabe, to-night delivered an important document to the State Department, stating that the armistice which the Queen Regent of Spain had commanded General Blanco to proclaim to-day was without conditions; thac her Majesty’s government had grant ed liberal institutions on the is land of Cuba, which the coming Cuban parliament would develop; recalling the condolence and sym pathy expressed by the Queen Re gent and her government on the disaster of the Maine and tbe hor ror this disaster had occasioned in Spanish hearts; and appealing to the courtesy and sense of justice of the United States gdvernment to enlighten public opinion npon the attitude of Spain. The note also repeats the offer of the Span ish government to submit the Maine question to experts desig nated by the maritime powers of the world. This document was the official notification of the Spanish gov ernment to the United ©tales of the granting of an armistice and its essential terms. Minister Woodford’s dispatches last night had briefly stated the fact that an armistice had been agreed upon, bat it was not communicated as coming from the Spanish govern ment. To-day’s communication cleared up misapprehension on the most vital point of Spain’s con cession, namely: that the armis tice wis without conditions.

Signal the Bach« that the United States fleet is ready to clear out of Havana, and please follow the Bache out.” These were the words of Consul General Lee at 5.15 yesterday after noon, as he stood on the poop of the Fern, with a group of corres pondents around him. It was evident to all that General Lee intended to be the last to leave, and a murmur of applause went around in supportofhis intention. The Evelyn had already passed Morro Castle when the Olivette weighed anchor. The Bache was close behind and the Fern was the last of the line. The wharves and boats on both sides of the narrow entrance to the harbor were crowd ed with Spaniards, who hissed and etch boat passed put. Diocovered by n Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a ladv in thiscountry. “Diseasefastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed im minent. For three months she coughed incessantly, and could not sleep. She dually discovered a wav to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night; and with two bottles, has been ab solutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Thus writes W. C. Hamnick & Co., of Shelby, N. C. Trial bottles free at T. D. Rhodes & Co’s, drug store. Regu- ular size 50c. and $100. Every bottle guaranteed. A NoI<mI AtlantM ('Din. 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 come out t>f my mouth and nose. The discharge was copious, and at times very offen* sive. Mv blood beejame so impure that my genesal heallth was greatly impaired, with poor appetite and worse digeetiep. Numerous med- for the open sea, she passed near the Maine wreck. The group ou deck had been laughing and talk ing, expressing their satisfaction at leaving Havana. With one ac cord, each man defied his hat in salute to the brave dead, while si lence fell on all for the space of several minutes. General Lee be ing on board the Fern made that boat a target for redoubled hisses, groans, cat-calls and whistles from the crowds on shore. “Get out, Yankees, swine!” was among the mildest expressions used. This seemed to strike every one oji board as ludicrous. Vice Consul Springer, who had been in the island thirty years, waved his hand to particularly abusive group saying in tones loud enough for all to hear: “Wait, wait, my friends; we shall all be hack soon.” There was one pretty incident. On the Cabanas shore a British steamer was unloading at her wharf. As the Fern passed, the Union Jack was dipped, while the English crew gave a hearty cheer. It is needless to say that the com pliment was returned with all pos sible gusto. Two Inky Ways. There was a man who advertised But once—a single time. In spot obscure placed he is ad., And paid for it a dime. And just because it didn't bring Him customers by the score, ‘•All advertising is a fake,” He said, or rather, swore. He snemed to think one hammer-tap Would drive a nail clear in; That from a bit of tiny thread A weaver tents could spin. If he this reasoning bright applied To eating, doubtless he Would claim one little bite would feed Ten men a century. Some day, though, he will leara that to Make advertising pay He’ll have to add ads. to his ad., And advertise each day. —I. G. Townsend, in New York Sun.
