This invitation wasdeclined by the United States, which was then in the throes of civil war, but the significant point in the case is found in the declaration by Secretary Seward: *“As the undersigned has heretofore had the honor to inform each of the plenipotentiaries now addressed, the President does not feel himself at liberty to question, and he does | not question, that the sovereigns repre- sented have undoubtedly the right to de- | cide for themselves the fact that they have sustained grievances and to resort to war against Mexico for the redress thereof and | also have a right to levy the war severally or jointly.

LONDOX , April 26.—A special to the Daily News from Paris says the British ultimatum to Nicaragua is stro sproved in that city. France herself is ving trouble in South America, and will probably be obliged to send an ultimatum to Venezuela The dispatch adds: The newspaper La will growl but will The Monroe doctrine does not cover diplomatic misdeeds and inter- national bad breeding. Great Britain can take every reasonable satisfaction, for America is unable to fire a single gun. A dispatch from Paris to the Daily News says the vessels comprising the extra French squadron in Chinese waters have been ordered home. Ex BOMBARDMENT IS BRUTAL. Coudert’s Candid Opinfon of England’s Bullying Tactics. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 25.—Frederick R. Coudert, who is recognized as the lead- ing lawyer in practice of the international Jaw in this country and whose services as counsel to the Bering Sea Arbitratian Com- mission brought him prominently before two continents, was asked for his views of the report that force would be used to compel Nicaragua to accede to Great Britain’s demand. Mr. Coudert said: “If I were an enemy of Great Britain I would be glad if she did. Our people don’t want bombardments by foreign people on this continent.* Whether it is against the Monroe doctrine or not the American people have a strong feeling on that sub- ject. They don't like to see a big nation bullying a little one, even if the big nation is the United States and the little one Chile. “In the next place, these small republics on this continent belong to one family, not by blood, but at least by proximity, by obligations contracted with them by Mex- ico, and therefore they had combined to effect their ends by force if need be.

Ananswer to a letter of a man named Frederick Harrison, dated San Francisco, will be printed in the newspapers here, claiming to point out the outrageous manner in which British subjects had been treated in Hawaiian prisons. Sir Edward said that the Government had re- ceived no confirmation of the reported out- rages, although several complaints on the subject had been received.

A IN FLORIDA. of ORANGE Mr. Simms Tells of the Damage Done by Severe Frosts. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 25.—First Assistant Secretary Simms of the Interior Department has returned to the city from | Florida, where he owns an orange grove. He says that the first cold snap of the past winter, which came in December, de- stroyed 2,500,000 boxes of unpacked fruit. In spite of the great damage done the | storm was a blessing in disguise, as it | checked the growth of the trees and kept | them from being in blossom when the | second cold snap came. Hundreds of trees escaped that would lhn\‘e been killed had it not been for the first cold wave. Said Mr. Simms: *It has been truly said that if every house in | Florida had been burned the loss would have been less than resulted from the de- | struction of orange trees. The people are | full of pluck, however, and have great con- | fidence in the future.” e Army Changes Ordeved. | WASHINGTON, D. O., April 25.—Lieun- | tenant-General Schofield has ordered the colonel, the headquarters of the regiment, the junior major (Vieth) and four troops of cavalry to be selected by the regimental commander from those now stationed at Fort Grant, Ariz., to be transferred to Fort Riley, Kans.; also the colonel, headquar- ters of the regiment, the second major (Baldwin) and the four troops of the Seventh Cavalry now stationed at Fort Riley to be transferred to Fort Grant, The lieutenant-colonel of the latter | regiment will remain at Fort Riley as in- structor of the cavalry subpost. | —_— Nicaragua Canal Commission.

HENERAL CAMPOS’ WORK. With a Vast Army He Proposes to Speedily Conquer the Insurrectionists. LEADERS NOT TO BE BOUGHT. According to Minister De Leome the Struggle of the Oppressed Natives Is Hopeless. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 25.—Secnor Dupuy de Leome, the new Spanish Minis- ter to the United States, was interviewed by an Associated Press reporter to-day on board the revenue cutter which brought him from quarantine. Senor de Leome spoke of the lack of inte; in the Cuban insurrection which he observed during his stay in Havana, which place he visited en route hither, and also of the exaggerated reports sent out from the islands concern- ing the progress of the insurrection, and xpressed his convictions of the speedy extinction of the revolt. “The arrival of General Martinez Cam- pos in Cuba,” the Spanish Minister said, “brought a feeling of security to the peo- ple, and an assurance that the insurrec- tiomsts will be suppressed. It is needless for me to repeat the statements that have been made so often of the greatly exagger- ated stories sent out by the newspaper correspondents. I must say that the re- ports of the Associated Press are the most truthful of the statements cabled from Cuba. The newspaper correspondents have made me say and do all manner of things from the time of my arrival at Cuba, which I am not aware of having said or done. “A New York paper published a long in- terview with me, in which I was quoted as making a number of very positive and un- pleasant statements about the American press. As a matter of fact I never said a word to a reporter of that paper, nor, in- deed, to a reporter of any paper printed in English on such a subject. My mission to America is to tatk polities to the authori- ties at Washington. As for the firing upon the steamer Allianca I have nothing to say. Tt is a matter that seems to have been already satisfactoriiy settled. I must say, however, that I think it would have been wiser for the captain of the Allianca to have stopped when requested and then sought for indemnity afterward. “Concerning General Campos and his proposed plans I think it worthy of note, ristic of the excellent soldier and tactician that heis, how little he has said since his arrival in Cuba. The gen- eral is a most loyal and patriotic man, one who has nothing to gain by the present campaign. It is his policy to be as lenient as possible with the insurrectionist cept in the case of the leaders. They will be the most severely dealt with. “The Government proposes to send to Cuba 24,000 men in all before the 1st day of May. With this force there can be no doubt as to the fate of the insurrectionists. General Campos has with him two of his s, Miguel, the Marquis of Basdan, who holds the rank of first lieutenant, and Joseph, who is a second lieutenant. The former is a young man who has given up a s0 | 1ife of leisure to endure the hardships of a Cuban campaign in the hot season. ‘“‘Statements have been made that the money General Compos brought with him was for the purpose of buying off the leaders of the revolution. Itis well known that this policy was pursued during the last insurrection in Cuba, but the Govern- ment has no intention of repeating the mistake in the present instance. The revo- lution is to be stamped out by the force of arms. “Estimates by conservative men who have been among the revolutionary forces place the number of men at about 3000, not more than one-half of whom are armed and equipped. We estimate their num- ber at about 4000 with the same armed proportion. +It is a difficult matter to get acorrect idea of their numbers, for one day many of them will be at work on the crops and the next they are off on a_skirmishing expedi- tion. Four thousand, however, is certainly a most liberal estimate, and they are of a class that would scarcely be taken seriously in America. At present there are eight modern Spanish war vessels in Cuban waters, Seven are second-class cruisers and one first-class. The ship I came over on with General Campos was the Reina Marie Christina, the vessel in which the Princess Eulalie came to this country. It is not intended, I think, to send any more ships to Cuba than are at present on the way there.” Senor de Leome said it was his intention to stay in this city for the next few days if possible to await the arrival of his family, who are en route to New York. The Minister remarked that the several changes of climate he had been through since leaving Spain had tired him consid- erably and that he was anxious to have a few days’ re THE EUROPEAN NOBILTIY Superiority of the Noble Classes Scien- tifieally Accounted For. Statistics go to prove that the royalty and no- bility of Iurope abstain almost entirely from the use of whisky and brandy, substituting for them some such” highly blended and iwhole- some drink as Peruvian Bitters, which is known to possess all of the salutary properties of both, and, moreover, has not the injurious effects of either. To 'this s attributed in & large degree the physical superiority of the no- bility, their erect, commanding forms and clear, powerful intéllects, over those in other fks of life. The result is not to be wondered at, when we consider the effect produced upon tne system, and reflexty upon the brain, by the use of Peruvian Bitters. They put into perfect order and maintain at their normal and healthy standard, the various functions of the body, hereby insuring clearness of intellsctual owers, without Which nations deteriorate and warf into insignificance, and, possessing which, nations produce leaders, and leaders be- come kings. The finest of California Brandy, scientifically blended with rare drugs of known merit, con- stitutes a pleasant and invigorating drin which, under the name of Peruvian Bitters, has been welcomed into nearly every house- hold in the United States, and the wonderful cures effected by it are no less maryelous than those effected in Peru by the native Cinchona Rubra, and where, by the way, the climate is very like our own. Nature furnishes the Peru- vian Bark as an autidote for fever, malaria, and so forth, which is incident to a moist, humid climate, and here in our midst, under the title of Peruvian Bitters, we find it restor- ing wasted vitality, building up depleted nerve forces, renewing impaired energies, and cans- ing the bloom of gomh 1o exist where the pale- ness of diseate had held sway. Itisa perfect appetizer and unsurpassable temic. CK & Cor, 6 o. ‘Al Druggists sna Dealera, NEW TO-DAY—-CLOTHING. NO DULL CORNERS Around and about our two buildings.
