VOL. IX THE DALLES, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1896. NO 91. CUBA'S INDEPENDENCE Willing to Purchase it From Spain. CLEVELAND'S NOTE TO MADRID Itumnnt That Sennr Paliua Kaegeftted This Method as Satisfactory Don't Want Homo Rale. . Chicago, April 22. A special to the Tribune, from Washington, says : In spite of official denials at the state department, it is now admitted gener ally that a note has been sent to Madrid by Secretaiy Olney. An additional re port is now in circulation to the effect that this note was a forerunner of a proposition on the part of the president that Cuba should be allowed to pur chase her independence from Spain, and that Senor Pal ma, who is to be made minister of the Cuban government here as soon as his country's independence is gained, suggested this plan to Mr. Cleve land, telling him it would be satisfac tory to the Cubans. The Cuban lead ers laugh at the reports from Spain of promised political reforms for the island. BOMB RULE WILL UK SPURNED. Cubans Declare Nothing: Leas Than Ab solute Independence Will Do. Tampa, Fla-, April 22. The dispatches announcing that Cuba will gut home rule, are received with scorn by the Cu ban colony here. Colonel Fernando Figarero, the Cuban delegate to Florida, eaid: ' " "Should Spain ever proffer us home rule it will be spurned. As long aa Cu bans live they will light for liberty. Ab solute Independence ia what we want; nothing else. "Campos promised us home rule in 1876, but it was never granted. We are not to be bluffed asiuin. ' . "What they now offer is the law pro posed by Albnrznza, the-minister of col onies, in March, 1695, and accepted by . the corte?, but never put iuto effect. ',, , 'This measure was suggested by the 6tartHng capture of the Lagouda., Aim di9 and Barawa, at Fernandino, loaded with munitions of war from Cuba. Spain has been loath to concede that much to us, but now think it the only redeeming measure. "If they have our forces in Cuba bo scattered, bewildered and surrounded, why ara they so eager to grant any such concessions?" SAILED FOB CUBA. Another Filibustering Expedition to Land. Tonight. Key Wbst, Fla., April 22. The schooner Competitor, commanded by Alfred Laborde, left this port about midnight last night, with arms and men for Cuba. The schooner carries sixty CubanB and ' Americans. It is said to have aboard 800 rifles, 600 ' revolvers, 500 machetes and 150,000 rounds of am munition. The Competitor proceeded to Sugar Loaf Key, 25 miles north of here, where more munitions and arms were taken on board. It is said the Cubans waiting on Sugar' Loaf Key' have three rapid-fire guns-.' ' " - ' .' After getting the arms and men at Sugar Loaf Key, the Competitor was to be met by the Bteam tug George W. Child a, which had been engaged to tow the Bchooner to Cuba. Laborde told his friends that the expedition would land in Pinar del Rio province tonight. ... The schooner slipped out under the noBe of the revenue-cutter Merrill. When it was learned that it carried arms and men, the customs officers ordered the Merrill to' pursue her, but the schooner had too' good' a start to be overtaken. Alfred Laborde, who com manded the expedition," is a' wealthy Cuban of Tampa. Highest of all ia Leavening Power. l LfJf C'J Cuban leaders here say that as soon as Maceo receives the ammunition car ried by the Competitor, an attack will be made on the troops. Sectarian Bchoul Matter Battled. : Washington, April 22. The senate today disposed of the sectarian school question by adopting the compromise framed by senator Cockrell, of Missouri. The Indian bill, as it came from the house, provided that "no money herein appropriated shall be paid for education in eectarian schools." This provision is struck out by the Cockrell amendment as adopted", for it is declared to be the settled policy of the government to make no appropriations for sectarian schools after July lst,1898, thus giving two years for the abandonment of eectarian schools instead of immediate abandonment. The amendment was adopted by a de cisive vote of 38 to 24. When Baby was sick,, we gave her Castoria. When she was aChild, she cried for Castoria.

Improvements Which Make Their Use Hardly Noticeable. ' Painstaking ' skill and constant im provement are necessary factors in the "perfection or success of almost any in dustry, but nowhere, aays the New York Mail and Express, are they more fully attended than in the making- of artificial limbs. There was a time when the lame and the crippled had to show their defects and misfortunes to the world.1 Now it is just the other way. People with artificial legs can now walk so perfectly, as to avoid detection, and a person with a single amputation- can almost defy detection. Improvements' make it possible to move the knee and ankle joints, and this innovation also strengthens the whole limb and makes it more durable. One of the latest improvements is in the knee joint of the leg- for thigh am putation, which is so arranged that when in a sitting position the cord and spring are entirely relaxed, thus re lieving all strain and pressure. There are in the United States 100,000 persons who have to be supplied with new limbs on an average of once in every five to eight years. The manuf acturiner of these articles in New York has become I quite an enterprise. ' . . Kucklen's Arjncji salve. .
