the Cuban resolutions and the ulti
matum to Spain at 11.24 o’clock
this morning, and at 11.35 the ulti
matum was sent to thfc Spaaish
government.
the ultimatum.
The ultimatum is in substance a
demand that Spain evacuate th
island.
SpiNtSH MINISTER MOVES HI£i
RECORDS.- , ,
Senor Polo y Berhabo, the Span*
iah minister, has transferred the
records of his office and his effects
to the office of the Freucb am
bassador-
Every command of regular
troops has started toward the
South-
vow OF Sl’ANIeH SAILORS.
The members of the crew of the
Spauish squadron at Cadiz have
vowed before the shrine of the
Virgin Mary never to return to
their country unless victorious.
UNTIL NOON SATURDAY.
Washington, April 20.—3.45 p.
m.—The ultimatum gives Spain
until Saturday at noon for a reply.
GOOD bye.
Polo y Bernabe, the Spanish
minister, leaves Washington this
afternoon. Woodford, the United
States minister, will remain in
Madrid, demanding his passports
if the reply of Spain is unfavora
ble.
The ultimatum gives Spain un
til Saturday noon to decide wheth
er she will surrender Cuba or not.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN.
Upon Spain’s refusal to comply
the fleet and army will start for
Cuba from the Southern points.

WHAT THK POP* THINKS.
Rome, April 20.—3.55 p- m-—
The Pope thiuks that if Spain
cede* Cuba to the Vatican peace
may be procured.
RUMOR OF FURTHER TIME.
Washington, April 20.—3.55 p.
m.—The volunteer bill will be
passed to-da; - It is reported that
that can be made is one on prece-’
dents. According to these Minis
ter Woodford will notify the Span-!
ish government of the action of
the government of the United;
States, and should the Spanish
answer be unsatisfactory, as is ex
pected, the next fetep m order will
be for him to ask for his passports
and leave Madrid. That would be
followed instantly by the with
drawal from Washington of Senor
Polo, the Spanish minister. At
this point, it can be said that the
State department officials are con
fident that the Spanish govern
ment will so shape every phase of
the negotiations as to oblige us to
take the iniative at every point.

hopeful view of an easy and quick S en ‘ a ^ representative of the Char
campaign than they entertained a
short time ago. Months are now
mentioned instead of weeks as the
probable length of hostilities and
one eminent naval officer, who had
experience m the late war, pro
fesses a belief that unless outside
pressure is brought to bear, a war
may easily drag along for a year
under the existing conditions.
Apparently the powers have
abandoned open efforts in Wash
ington to influence the course of
our government. Matters were
very quiet at all the legations to
day aud no instructions were re
ceived by any of the ambassadors
or ministers in the line of media
tion.
TO LOCALIZE THE WAR.
Loudon, April 20.—The Rome
correspondent of the Daily Mail
says: Italia, the organ of the
foreign office, publishes to-night
the following note:
“The powers are on the eve of
taking a new step, namely; re
questing the United States and
Spain, in the event of war, to
localize the hostilities to Cuba and
the neighboring waters. This step
will be taken immediately after a
declaration of war. Utter pessi
mism prevails in diplomatic quar
ters here, the Vatican alone con
tinuing hopeful of peace. The
pope is working energetically to
be accepted as arbitrator; but be
admits that Cuba has already
morally ceased to belong to
Spain.”
MOKE RIOTS.
London, April 19—A dispatch
to the Daily Telegraph from Gib-

Key West, April I9.—The naval
plan of action.it is understood has

The blockade will involve no en

the accidental encounters which,
more or less, are bound to occur.

The Cubans will lend the Uni
States every possible aid in

months to make the Spaniards
evacuate Cuba.
A leading official says : The
United States government will not
issue any letters of marque and re
prisal nor countenance privateer
ing ; but if the Spanish government
chooses to enter upon this line of
warfare, she will have to deal with
the nations of Europe with whose
commerce she seeks to interfere.’

getting a good view of the soldiers.
Seveial of the ladies distributed
flowers to the boys. The front

J. D. Haselden Elected Cliairmaa
The board of control has elected
Mr. J. D. Haselden permanent
chairman. Several months ago it
was decided to permit the members
of the board to alternate as chair
man at monthly periods. This
method was adopted in order that
each member might be educated
and drilled thoroughly in the ope
rations of the dispensary system.
However as each member has
had a taste of the honors of the
office and has graduated in the
course of instruction offered there
by, it has been deemed advisable
to return to the old form of gov
ernment with the result that Mr
J. D. Haselden, cf Marion, the
member elected at the last meet
ing of the legislature, was chosen
chairman.—Register.

A Noted Atlanta Cate.
For four years 1 have beeu 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 of my mouth
and nose. The discharge was
copious, and at times very offen
sive. Mv blood became so impure
that my general health was greatly
impaired, with poor appetite aud
worse digestion. Numerous med
icines were used without relief,
until I began the use of Botanic
Blood Balm—B. B. B —aud three
bottles acted almost like magic.
Since its use, over a year, not a
symptom has returned, aud I feel
m every way quite restored in
health. I am an old citizen of
Atlanta, and refer to almost any
one living on Butler street, and
more particular to Dr. L. M. Gil-
lam, who knows my case.
