DOCTORS DON’T DENY IT. The frank testimony of a famous physician.

Wiles Df. Ayer announced hi* Sarsaparilla to the world, he at once lonnd the physicians his friends. Snch a remedy was what they had looked for, and they were prompt to appreciate its merits and prescribe it. Perhaps no medicine—known as a patent medicine —is so generally administered and prefer ibed by physicians as Dr. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla for blood diseases, and diseases of the skin that indicate a tainted condition of the blood. Experience has proved it to be a specific in such diseases, and sores of long standing, old ulcers, chronic rheumatism, and many other like forms of disease have yielded to the persevering use of Dr. Ayer’s Sarsapar. ilia after other medicines had utterly failed. The testimonials received from physicians to the value of this remedy would 611 a volume Here is one leaf signed by Rich’d ■.Xawrence, M.

afflicted with the rheumatism for threo years, and had taken as she had informed me, more than one hundred dollars’ worth of medicine to obtain relief, yet without any beneficial result. I advised her to try a bottle of Dr. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla and told her that if it failed to do her good, I would refund the money. A short time after, ward, I learned that it had cured her, and a neighbor ol hers similarly afflicted was also entirely relieved of his complaint by its nse. This is the universal result of the administration of your Sarsaparilla. It is without exception, the best olood purifier with which 1 am acquainted." There is no other similar medicine can show a similar record. Others have imi* tated the remedy. They cah’t imitate the record. Dr. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has the friendship of trie physician and the favor of the family, because it cores. It fulfills all promises made for it. It has healed thousands of people of the most malignant diseases that can mutilate mankind. Nothing has ever superceded it and noth, ing ever will until a medicine is made that can show a record of cures greater in number and equal in wonder to those wrought by Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

At no time is woman more liable to physical and mental dangers with hours of Buffering than at the “Turn of Life.” The great want in woman's system is ability to properly adjust i tself to the new conditions. The outlet, monthly, of blood is now being diminished and carried into the body for the supply food of its later years.

Daughters, you can now to some extent repay your mother's early care. She must be spared every possible exertion. You must help her bear her burdens and anxieties. This critical time safely over, she will return to renewed health and happiness. That so many women fail to anticipate this change thus happily, is owing not ) < merely to lack of care, but to igno* ranee. There is, however, no excuse > for ignorance when experienced ad* rice can be yours free of all cost.

Illiir Spain Promptly Repudiates the Terms of the Ultimatum Prom the United States. WOODFORD HANDED HIS PASSPORTS. The United States Minister Wasn’t Given Opportunity to Formally Present the Ultimatum -He Leaves Madrid at Onee —A Harried Consultation at the White House.

Minister Woodford Giron His Passports. Madrid, April 21—11:16 a. m.—The ultimatum of the United States was received early this morning, in English. The Spanish government immediately broke off diplomatic relations with the United States, notifying the United States minister to this effect before he was able to present any note. Woodford leaves Madrid this afternoon. Tho Kowo Received at Washington. ■Washington, April 31.—Diplomatic relations between the United States and Spain are at an end. It is expected that from now on events will move with amazing rapidity up to the climax of actual war. Judge Day, assistant secretary of state, early this morning received a cablegram from Minister Woodford, at Madrid, stating that he had been handed his passpOrts, ! and had been notified that official

\\ r between the United States and Spain Were ended. His cablegram said that he had been given the pass* ports before he had had an opportunity to present the altimatum transmitted to him for submission to the Spanish government, the delivery of the ultimatum to Minister Polo having been accepted by the Spanish government as a formal announcement on our part. Judge Day at once hurried to the White House, where he found President McKinley about to enter a carriage to take Mrs. McKinley to the railroad station, where he intended to see her off on a short trip to New York. The news that diplomatic relations between the United States and Spain were formally at an end, was so important that the president bade a hasty good-by to his wife on the White House portico and repaired immediatly to the upstairs part of the house, where he and J udge Day held a conference, the result of which was the dispatch of Secretary Porter to the capitol to communicate the news to the senate committee on foreign relations, and also to leading members of the house. It is presumed that this was done in order to facilitate any action deemed necessary by congress. Dy a hasty summons Senator Davis, of Minnesota, chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations; Senarelations

tor Lodge, of Massachusetts, a member of the committee; Senator Allison, of Iowa, a leader in that body, and others were brought to the White House, where they joined Assistant Secretary | Day and the president shortly after i ten o'clock in a conference, whose purpose is to map out the immediate polI icy of the United States. I The conference broke up shortly af« i ter half-past ten o'clock. Judge Day, i accompanied by Senator Lodge, going j over to the state department. The aa- ! aistant secretary would say nothing re- | garding the conference further than ! to authorize the statement that a ! public announcement would be made (later in the day. Chairman ! Davis of the - senate foreign relations | committee was not explicit, simply rei marking: ‘'We've taken, the trick.** Asked specifically regarding the hand* ing of his passports to Minister Wood* ford, he said that that was all right; that the delivery of the •ultimatum to the Spanish legation here had served all purposes.

Minim. Implements of War and Supplies Shipped from New York for Spaniards in Cuba. rS BE EMPLOYED A6AINST AMERICANS. The Ward Una Steamer* Playing Into the Hands of the Spaniard*—Its Officer* Declare that They Will Sail Their Ships Regardless of the Blockade of Cuban Ports. New York, April 22.—The most vala&ble implements of warfare will leave this port to-day for the Spanish army in Cuba. They are actually moving forts, protected by steel armor plate,, and are designed to be used on the railroads to protect the Spanish soldiers in their contests with both the Cuban troops and those of the United States who may land in Cuba. The cars have been loaded on the New York and Cuba mail steamer, Aloedene. This steamer, which is kuowu as a British tramp steamer, was chartered recently by this American company, which is familiarly known as the Ward line. The cargo of the steamer, as far as known, consists of a large quantity of provisions consigned to Spanish merchants in Havana in addition to these moving forts. The steel cars, which are of the box-car type and consigned j to F. G. Canto, Manzanillo, Cuba, are | designed for the use of the Span- j ish troops. The cars are constructed to run on a narrow* gauge railroad, and were originally intended to be used by Gen. Pando in j his campaign in the eastern section of j Cuba, but will now be used for any emergency that may arise. They are formidable-looking affairs, each being constructed of wood, covered with seven-eighths of an inch steel armor plate. They are each 25 feet in length and nine feet high. On each side of the ears are 15 loopholes for rides. Along the string pieces are the Span- j ish words “Ferro carril militar,” which being translated means “steel military car.”

A. U. Smith, secretary of the New York ami Cuba line, when asked in regard to these ears, said: “\Ye have sent a number of cars of the same description to Cuba prior to this shipment. The two cars uow going on the Aloedene were to have been shipped on the Niagara, which was purchased by the United States government. In addition to the two military cars which were placed on the deek ol the Aloedene, the ship has an unusually large cargo ' of provisions for Havana, Cienfuegoa and Santiago de Cuba. This cargo, consisting of corn, flour and dried salt meats, would have at any other time excited considerable comment among the men who are familiar with shipping interests, but interest is added by the fact that several other steamers of this same line have within the last two weeks carried cargoes equal to, if not larger, than that carried by the Aloedene. The only comments made were by the captains ol vessels, which were either loading or unloading at East river pier, near where the Aloedene was taking on hex cargo. One of the old captains, after looking over the vessel very carefully, said: “Well, the Spaniards are certainly getting enough supplies from the United States, even if war is now on. The Aloedene has enough provisions on board to feed the Spaniards for at least a week or ten days, and the other vessels which have been sailing recently for Cuban ports have had similar cargoes, so I guess the Spaniards are preparing against the rainy season, even if it showers shot and shell, instead of the usual drops Of water.” At the office of the steamship line little information was given gut about the cargo of the Aloedene last night after it was announced from Washington that the fleet at Key West had been ordered to sail for Cuban waters. John W. Barrett, manager of the line, said: “We have already heard of the sailing of the fleet, but that will not change our plans in the least.” “Will your ships attempt to run the blockade if one snould be established.” Ills answer was:

I **YVe will see about that when the time comes. We will wait and see what turps up first.” The Aloedene received her clearance papers late, but her complete manifest has not been made public. It is announced by the line that the steamers Bergen and Seguranca. which were to have sailed to-morrow for Havana and other Cuban ports, will not sail until Monday, and it is probablo that they will go to Mexican ports and will not stop at Havana. The regular coastwise lines from this port are continuing their regular service, and have issued no notice of suspension of traffic. The steamer Arcadia, for Pbrto Rican ports, with a general cargo of merchandise has sailed.x
