Lee Will Make Startling
Disclosures.
NO ROOM IS LEFT FOR DOUBT
The I'rflnltleut nnd TIM Calilnnt Did
ctmitotl Every Detail of Urn
Matter Today.
Washington, April 8. An
Illinois representative is given
as authority for the statement
that General Lee will mako
startling disclosures before the
senate committee on foreign
relations when he arrived
here, regarding the conspiracy
to blow up the U. S. battleship
Maine.
"I understand Lee is to
supply tho missing link in
tho testimony," said Repre
sentative Lorimor. "My in
formation is that Captain
bigs boo is in possession ot
facts, but does not feel at lib
erty to give- them until the
porson who gave them to him
releases him from tho word of
secrecy exacted. That per
son, I was led to believe, is
Lee."
Washington, April 8. Tho Spnniflh
American situation ia regarded today as
even mure grave than any day hereto
fore. Hoepeful views of peace hereto
fore entertained have given way to the
conviction that the issue between the
United Stat?s and Spain has become
well-nih unreconcilable. Preparation
for all eventualities is proceeding rapid
ly. One significant movement in this
direction developed today when it was
learned that the United States consul at
Porto Hico was about to leave his post
of duty.
Inquiry at the foreign embasies and
legations today made it plain that the
action of the great powers yesterday in
presenting a joint note urging peace con
stituted all the powers. There is no
present purpose to take further action,
or follow up this guarded and diplomat
ic uttorance with any suggestion of me
diation or intervention. There is no
doubt, however, that these foreign in
fluences will be strongly urged at Mad
rid toward securing further concessions
though foreign representatives begin to
doubt seriously whether Spain is in a
position to concede any more.
One of the best-knows diplomats
tersely summed up the situation today
thus:
"Spain has placed her back against
the wall, determined to yield no more.
Even the heroic efforts of tho queen re
gent for peace by granting extreme con
cessions seems to be over and the radical
element in control.

and it is always the same, rhuple, hon

to make the Shakers the healthy, long

partly owing to their simple mode of
life, partly to the wonderful properties
of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indiges

supplying enough digestive juice.

INSECT NURSES.
Dec and Anta That Look After the
Sick.
The care of the young is always con
sidered one of the most important of
the industries of the commune. Among
the bees nnd ants the care of the young
is relegated to the younger sisters, al
though the elders do not scorn these
duties if they find their performance
necessary. However, the first work of
the ant or bee just emerges! from the
pupa state is that of nurse, and a most
tender nnd devoted one she is. Espe
cially are the ant nurses solicitous
about the health and comfort of their
small charges. In some species the
young ant grubs are assorted into sizes,
those of the same age being kept in the
same apartment', suggesting n graded
school. When the, unt babies are hun
gry they stretch up like young birds,
und their nurses regurgitate partly di
gested food into the gaping, hungry
mouths. The nurses keep them very
clean by licking them with their long
tongues, and, what is more interesting,
are very careful to keep them in the
right temperature. When the sun
suinesjiot on the nest in the morning
the nurses carry their charges to the.
lower compartments, but toward night
they carry them again to the upper
nurseries. The nurses show great in
terest in the young when they emerge
from the pupa state, helping them to
straighten out Jhcir .newly freed an
tennae and legs, then taking a hand at
their education by lending them around
the city and showing them the ways of
the formic world.
All the members tf the inseet com
mune are shining lights in their devo
tion to the young. The moment an nnt
nest is attacked those citizens who are
not detailed to light the intruders will
snatch up the babies and flee with
them to places of safety, or when hard
pressed will fight to the death for their
protection. This is worthy of note,
since it is not the mother instinct for
saving her young but is a rape instinct
Instead, It may here be stated that
the objects popularly known as ants'
eggs are not the eggs, but the young
grub ants; the eggs are too small to be
seen well with the naked eye, "Insect
