OUR ULTIMATUM — AND SPAIN’S ANSWER. Spain’s prompt action in severing | diplomatic relations with the United States the moment President Mc Kinley’s ultimatum demanding, in the name of this goverment, that Spain must relicquish its authority io the island of Cuba, is tantamount to a declaration of war. The uiti- matum cabled te Minister Woodford at lla m., Wednesday was in this language: “April 20, 1898 —Woodford, Min ister, Madrid: You have been furnish ed with the text of ajoint resolution voted by the congress of the United States upon the 19th inst.—approved to day—in relation to the pacification ef the island of Cuba In obedience to that act, the Pres- ident directs you to immediately eommunicate to the government of Spain caid resolution with the for mal demand of the United States that (he government cf Spain must relinquish its authority and govern- ment in the island of Cuba and with- draw ita land and naval foress from Cuba and Cuban waters. In taking this step United Siatcs hereby dieclaims any disposition or intention to exercise soveregntr. juriediction or control over said island except for the pacification thereof, and asserts its determina- tion when that is accomplished, to leave the gevernment and control of the island toits people under euch free and indepeadent government as they may establish. If by the hour of noor, on Satur- day next, the 23d day of April, in- stant, there be not communicated to this government by that cf Spaina full and satisfactory responce to this demand and resolution, whereby tho ends of peace in Cuba thall be as- sured, the President will proceed without further the power end authority enjoined and conferred upon him by the said joint resolution to such extent as may be necessary to carry the same into ef- fect. SHERMAN.” notics to use To this ultimatum from our ernment Spain made no diplomatic reply. Without waiting for the for- mal presentation Minister Woodford the Spanish government served notice through its minister of foreign affairs that all diplomatic relations had been severed. Minis ter Woodford at once telegraphed our state department as followe: “Madrid, April 21, 1898 —Sher- man, Washington: Early this (Thurs day) morning, after the receipt of your cpen telegram, and before I had communicated same to Spanish government, Spanish minister for foreign affairs notified me that dip- lomatic relations are to be broken j between the two countries sni that all official commutcication between their respective representatives has teased.

Sedalia, Mo, April 21.—A tele- gram was received here this evening that John Selken, brother of August Selken, postmaster of Smithton, Pettis county, was killed in the Chil- koot Pass avalanche which swept thirty fortune-hunters to their death. Selken’s body has arrived at Seattle and is awaiting transportation to Missouri. Yeung Selken left here last February in company of R. B. Williams for the Klondike gold fields and their friends believed they were safe at Sheep Camp, but it appears Selken returned down the pass after a part of their provisions, which had been left bebind, and was crushed to death in the snowslide.

London, April 21.—The Times says it sees few signs that the Span- iards have any adequate comprehen- sion of what they are undertaking. “The Spanish preparations, so far as they can be judged at this dis | tance” it says, “are by no mean in the advanced condition which alone would give va’u3to the popular en- thusiasm.

Acsordingly, he jissued a prcclamation April 14th establishing martial law, and sent a detachment of thirty men from Dyea to put the order into execution. The war cloud which hangs over our southern waters has revived interest in the question of putting a canal through the isthmus. In actual warfare such a canal would be of the utmost imporianes strate zetie- ally, in that it world unite our forces en the Atlantic and Pacific sea- boards.

FOUR CONFEDERATES up my stalk, the Spanish men are | SEEKING THE SAME OFFICE. How Waldo P. Jehnson Made a Great Mis- take in His Political Forecast. Republic It ths leading candidates for Judge of the Supreme Court in this State, subject to the demccratie nominat- ing convention, served in the Con- federate army, and three of them belonged to tha Mississippi troops. Judge Va'liant was Captain in the Twenty-secord Miesissippi Infantry, and Judges Ramey and Marsball were privates iathe service. Judge Ramey went all through the cem- paigns in Virginia and was severely wounded at the battle of Franklin. Colonel John W. Halliburton served with the Misseuri troops. And now, more than 30 years after the close of the war, all these men are citizens cof Missouri, and for years have occupied positions of preminence in the democratic party, and are candidates for the same office. Judge Valliant, however, is ‘not a native of Mississippi, as is the case with Judges Ramey and Mar- shall. He was born in Alabama 60 years ago. Judge Mareball is the youngest of the three men named. He was born in 1848 and was but ls years old when he entered the army. Judge Ramey was born in 1844. In the early “70's Waldo P. Jobn- | Son, who was president of the Con stitutional Convention which drafted the present Constitution of Missouri, made the observation tbat youngest Confederate would never live to see the day in Missouri when prejudice would not prevent bim |from being nominated fer a State | office, or some langusge to this ef- fect.
