SPAIN SENDS ANOTHER WARSHIP) To Cuba With Two Fuciasal Freshly Armed Soldiers, | Buys More Ammunition in England, UNCLE SAM BUYING TRAINLOADS OF COAL Washington, March 7.—-War today seems almost inevitable. Spain has withdrawn her demand made afew days ago through Minis- ter Woodford that Consul General Lge be recalled. At the same time she objected to the United States sending aid to the starving Cuban reconcentrados in warships. The ad- ministration cabled Woodford refus- ing both demands, and now Spain has withdrawn them, when she found this government would pay no sttention to ber wishes. Consul General Lee wires from Havana that he will protect Ameri- cans in Cuba with his life if necessary and will never quit his post. War preparations are being rushed by the administration today more hurriedly than ever and war seems now inevitable and may come any day. The report of the Board of Nayal Inquiry is awaited with intense anxiety. The report is expected this week. Spain has sent special commission- ers to London to buy ammunition. Coal is being rushed in to Florida by the train load by this government for use by our warships. Washington March 7.—An ofticial statement was given out last night by the State Department relative to the report cabled from Madrid that the Spanish government bad demanded the recall of Consul General Lee and the abandonment of the use of war- ships for sending relief supplies to Cuba. The department declares that “the president will not consider the recall of Gen. Lee,” and that all ar- rangements have been completed for sending relief supplies by one of the naval vessels, { ‘The president acted on the demand | for Lee’s recall without consulting the cabinet, who were not apprised of his action until news of his refusal was received from Madrid. The action of the president is indorsed by mem-' bera of congress of both parties, Some members admit the justice of Spain’s demands concerning the car- yving of relief supplies in war vessels, but do not question the president's right to direct.

They are intended forthe naval militia of Florida. At the ordnance department it was said that the guns were ordered many months ago, and that their shipment has no special significance. A con- sigoment of cutlasses and other war- like supplies went with the Gatling guns. AID FOR STRICKEN CUBANS. Shiploads of Supplies Started From New York for Key West, New York, March 7.—The Mal- lory line steamer Nueces sailed Sat- urday for Key West with seventy- five tons of relief supplies for the destitute in Cuba. At Key West the stores will be transferred to the United States ships Nashville and Montgom- ery. A telegram has been received here from H. R. Lewis, secretary of the Oregon relief committee, saying that the first section of s Cuban relief train, carrying 180,000 pounds of food, has left there. The Cuban relief committee in this city has received a letter from As- vistant Secretary Day expressing the ppreciation of the state department at the response which has been made to the government's appeal for con- tributions for the sufferers in Cuba.

Admiral Kirkland says that he can prepare the vessels for sea within six hours. There are 500 men employed in the construction department, and or- ders have been issued for the employ- ment of additional labor. WARSHIPS FOR UNCLE SAM, President Directs the Navy to Look Out For Possible Purchases, New York, March 7.—A special to the Herald from Washington says: Fully realizing the importance of preparations for any emergency, the president has directed the navy de- partment to open negotiations look- ing to the purchase of warships. This fact is now for the first time made public. It probably would not bave transpired at this juncture but for the excitement caused by the statement published that Spain had purchased or was negotiating for warships being built by the i company, of England, for Br: for other ships under construction. With a view of ascertaining the facts, your correspondent called upon @ high official of the adminis tration and obtained official admit —made for the first time—th: while the president did not antici- pate wer, he recognizes that there is a possibility of hostilities growing out of the Cuban problem and the Maine disaster, and he proposes to be prepared for it. There has been ample evidence of this in the extensive preparations, patent to everybody, which have been in progress for some time, but there has been no official admission to this effect until now. Eight men-of-war, which are prac. tically completed in foreign ship- yards, have been offered for sale in the United States. The pr has given consideration to the ad bility of placing an option on them. The navy department has been carefully watching the construction of ships abroad through the eyes of its attaches at London, Paris, St. Petersburg, Berlin, Vienna and Rome. This surveillance bas been maintained for two months, but more especially since the Maine disaster. ‘Through these naval attaches and from the shipbuilders themselves the secretary of the navy has learned that he can now purchase two smal sized battleships, two armored ers and four torpedo boats, all at a comparatively low price. The build- ers have promised that they can de- liver the ships to this government at this time complete in every respect, and all that will be necessary for the administration to do will be to order the necessary details of officers and men to proceed to the ship yard, go on board the vessels and take them to any points which may be desired. The builders have urged that the purchases be made at once, as they say that « declaration of the United States and Spain would result in the enforcement of neutral- ity laws and prevent the sale of the ships. The battleships and armored cruis- ers have been built by English and German firms for governments which are now unable to pay for them, so that this government would have no difficulty in obtaining the vessels by simply putting down the necessary amount of cash. There is reason to believe that among the vessels offered are three powerful ships under construction at the Vulcan Works, Stettin, Ger- many, for the Chinese government. These three ships are of 8,000 tons displacement, contracted to make 19.5 knots, and will be able to carry not less than a thousand tons of coal in their bunkers. There is also reason to believe that in case of trouble this government could purchase from Japan the Kasagi and the Chiosa, which are nearing completion at Philadelphia and the Union Iron works, ~ YELLOW FEVER.

Both dealers and consumers can rely upon the character ot the products of this firm, both in general and in particular, and we have no hesitancy in recommending them to our readers. Although we have no personal interest in the matter whatsoever, we believe in the policy, ‘‘merit to whom merit is due.’”’ In the light of too frequent adulterations and preparations of liquors, it behooves every one to scrutinize every brand, but, from the lack of proper facilities, such precautions are often neglected. To supply such want we have caused to be made close and critical examination and a searching chemical analysis, with the inten- tion of printing the same, whether favorable or otherwise, The result, however, leaves us but one thing to do, and that is to state, regarding the Brook Hill Whiskey, that purer or better liquor has never been placed upon the market, and we recommend same to our readers in unqualified terms and advise them to place an order, at least for a trial, as their product is recommended by physicians as an aid to digestion, and is placed on our list of pure and wholesome food supplies. merce, published at When we recommend an article or prod- uct it is accepted without question that we have thoroughly satisfied ourselves, by severe tests, of its value and worth, and that it is all that it may claim to be. The foregoing is sufficient to illustrate our posi- tion, and to justify what we may say when The Brook Hill Whiskey is also bottled in bond, under the direct supervision of the United States internal revenue department, which is a guarantee of its absolute purity, age and excellence.
