THE QUEEN’S APPEAL

Synopsis of Her Address to the Spanish Cortes. MADRID WILD WITH ENTHUSIASM. ——• .) Tke Youthful Kin* Appears by th* •ide of the Queen Regent, Who Appeals for Defense of the Itigbta of Spain. Madrid, April 21.—The opening of the Spanish cortes Wednesday was a magnificent sight. All the wealth and beauty of Madrid gathered In the senate, where every available foot of space was occupied. There was a terrific crush at the entrance leading to the senatorial seats, many’ of which were occupied by ladies. The correspondent of the press secured a seat beside Senor Bomero Robledo, the former minister of justice and conservative leader. The queen regent read the speech from the throne, with the little king on the right. There was great en- ' thuslasm. ' The Queen’s Speech. She referred to the troubles mentioned at the last session of the cortes, saying they had Increased, "owing to the attitude on the part of the people of the United States in fomenting rebellion,” adding that hitherto Spain had submitted “to these threats ar.d injuries, as not being an expression of the American nation. But becoming national, they would oblige me to break relations with the United States.” Continuing the queen regent said “that in the supreme crisis the pope spoke words of peace, which were hearkened to by my government, In the firm consciousness of right and In strict performance of international duties." Her majesty added: i "Spain’s gratitude la due to the pope, and to the great powers, whose action

strengthens my conviction that Spain’s cause deserves, universal sympathy.” Summoned to Defend Spain’s Rights. Conf’- g her majesty said: "Possibly, however, the peace efforts may fail to control the evil passions excited against Spain. T.est this moment arrive, I have summoned the cortes to defend our rights, whatever sacrifice they may entail. Thus identifying myself with the nation, I not only fulfill the oath I More in accepting the regency, but I follow the dictates of a mother’s heart, trusting to the Spanish people to gather behind my son’s throne, and to defend it until he Is old enough (o defend it himself, as well as trusting to the Spanish people to defend the honor and the territory of the nation.” The queen regent then referred to the trouble In the Philippine islands and, continuing, said: “Although a dark and gloomy future is before us, the difilcultles are not beyond our powers. With our glorious army, navy and the united nation before foreign aggression, we trust in God that we shall overcome, without stain on our honor, the baseless and unjust attacks made upon us.” Cries of “Viva Espana.” The reading was greeted throughout with cries of “viva Espana!" A wonderful picture was presented by the queen’s entourage, consisting of most of the highest personages in Spain in brilliant court, military, naval or palace uniforms. At the close of her majesty's speech there was renewed aheering, after which Premier Sagasta declared the cortes opened, and the queen regent and the boy king, accompanied by the court, left the building amid another wild burst of enthusiasm. Spain Will Reject. Madrid, April 21.—Spanish senators and deputies declare the American demands will be rejected and war credits will be voted. Great war enthusiasm is reported in all the towns of Spain. The hope prevails that the Cuban insurgents will join the Spaniards against the United States. It is said in official circles the location es the first naval battle will be a veritable surprise. . » Gen. Woodford has received the ultimatum. He will present it to the government to-day. United States Minister Woodford has not yet asked for his passports. Sagaata Says “War.” London, April 21. —According to a special dispatch from Madrid, Senor Sagasta, the premier, on being asked the opinion of the cabinet as to the outlook, replied: “War! War! War!” Woodford Prepared to Leave. London, April 21. —The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Mail, telegraphing at 11 o’clock Wednesday evening says: “Gen. Woodford’s family left Wednesday night by the ordinary’ express for Biarritz. The American minister himself has taken tickets for the south of France express to-day. Be has received extensive dispatches of instruction. It is doubtful if he will have an opportunity of presenting the American ultimatum, since in all probability Seror Gallon, the foreign minister, will send him his passports at eight o’clock this morning with a declaration that diplomatic relations between the two governments have been broken off. Uen. Woodford has handed the archh ex of the legation to the British embassy. New York, April 21. —The Herald's Madrid correspondent says he has it from fountain-head authority that Spain will not wait for the ultimatum to give Minister Woodford his passports. Spain's Fleet Under Way. Washington, April 21.—Spain's formidable fleet, which has been mobilizing at the Cape Verde islands for some days past, sailed Wednesday for an unknown desthiation. This information was received Wednesday night at the late legation of Spain. There is reason to believe that the navy department will put every bit of machinery in motion to ascertain the whereabouts of the fleet.

THE VOLUNTEER BILL.

ILwaae Passes the Meaaare Autborlsin* the Issaauce of a Call for Troops. Washington, April 21.—The house Wednesday passed as an emergency war measure tbs bill empowering the president to call ogft the volunteer forces and providing for their organisation. Both the president and Alger had urged the Imperative ■Seesil ty of the pasalng of the bill, and Chairman Hull, of the military committee, 4x<UM it through under whip and spur.

rne mu was drartea at rne war uspu tuieni, Introduced in the house Tuesday, and considered and reported by the committee Wednesday. No such expedition could have been possible except under the stress of way pressure. The bill is permanent in its character. The principal change in the bill as introduced was that the appointment of all regimental officers are to be made by the governors of all states instead ' of by the president, as was proposed originally by the war department. This action 1 conforms to the practice of the civil war. I Washington, April 21.—During the five hours' of discussion in the senate Wednesday afternoon of Its recent action upon the Cuban resolutions, in the course of which several extended speeches were made by senators who,voted against the conference report upon the resolutions, only one point was developed. That was made by Sen- ' ator Foraker (O.), in the course of a brief ; statement concerning the recognition of the Cuban republic's independence. He said: | "I think quickly, speedily, possibly now, on the very day when the ultimatum has been sent to Spain, pursuant to the resolutions that passed here, this government has practically recognized the republic of i Cuba, and I think possibly it is true that we will all know by Thursday that that movement is being officially dealt with by the representatives of this government, as it should be.” , This utterance, coming from a member of the foreign relations committee, created a profound sensation among senators. Being pressed for the source of his information, Senator Foraker replied that it was “positive but not Official.” The following resolution was presented by Senator Allen (Neb.). It went over unto objection: ,: That in the opinion of the senate no circumstances can arise in the relations of the United States of America and the kingdom of Spain that will warrant an increase of the interest bearing bonded indebtedness of this government or that will in any manner interfere in the reform of the financial affairs of. the United States on lines laid down in the national people’s party platform of July, 1896.”

CITY’S FUNDS MISSING.

Sim Francisco Treasurer Accused of Eiubcizling $160,000 Novel Method of Stealing. San Francisco, April 21.—Augustus C. Widber, treasurer of the city and county of San Francisco, is accused of having embezzled $160,000 of the municipal funds. The suspicion of other civic officials that something was amiss in the treasury department was aroused Tuesday night, and Wednesday Mayor Phelan and Auditor Broderick began an investigation, which resulted in some startling discoveries. The sealed bags of gold in the city treasurer’s vault had been surruptitiouely opened. Care had been taken not to break the seals, but the string had been deftly cut and gold extracted and silver inserted, to leave the weight of the bags unchanged. Then the coin sacks had beer fastened and the several ends of the string concealed in the natural folds of the canvas bags. A search was made for Treasurer Widber, but he could not be found in the city. He was finally discovered Wednesday evening at his ranch near Walnut creek, in Contra Costa county, 60 miles from San Francisco. He was arrested by a constable, the officer starting at once for this city with his prisoner. Widber refused to make any satement.

Wisconsin Indiana Ready.

Appleton, Wis., April 21. —The Oneida Indians on the reservation north of this city have organized two companies of 100 men each to fight Spaniards, and endeavored, through Joseph Metoxen, to enroll the men here Wednesday.

If men cannot be enlisted nearer they will march to the recruiting office at Milwaukee, headed by an Indian band of 16 pieces.

Had Catarrh 86 Tears. Joaiah Bacon, conductor on the P. W. &B. R. R., says. “I had suffered with catarrh for 36 years and regarded my case as hopeless. One day I saw the testimonial of Geo. H. Hearn in a Brazilian Balm circular. Hearn was the engineer on my train and I knew his case was desperate. I talked with Hearn and his cure gave me hope. I began the use of the Balm at once. There was not much change for the first two months but then I began to improve and in six months, to my inexpressible satisfaction, I was entirely cured.”

A Blessing For the Ladles. Thousands of ladies are using Brazilian Balm. For soreness, pain, bearing down and many kinds of trouble, it acts like a charm. ASO cent or dollar bottle often does more good in one week than any other remedy does in months. It goes right to the spot, removing all inflammation. Mrs. Geo. W. Roberts, of Wilmington, Del., says, “A strong solution of Brazilian Balin and warm water used as an injection has done me more good than all the remedies and prescrip tions I ever tried.”
