CUBA.

HAVANA, August 8.-The Diario De
La Marina of to-day says of the kilograms
announcing decree annuling the seques-
tration of the property of Cuban rebels,
that it will not pronounce the news false
for fear of misleading the public. 1t can
not accept it without official confirmation.
The Diario thinks it impossible that the
Spanish government DEGREES the immedi-
ate return of their property to rebels and
rebel sympathizers. 1t says the rebels
have used the greater part of
their resources in buying vessels and arms
to carry on the war, and that the return of
their property will send out new exped-
tions and prolong the struggle. 1t thinks
such action would be an absurdity and
show want OF reason and patriotic senti-
ment on the part Of the government. The
loyal people of Cuba are making heavy
sacrifices to enable the government to sus-
tain the increasing expenses Of the war,
and it is great outrage to take million
or more out of the treasury in this way.

Important Changes in the British
Ministry.
NEW YORK, August S.-A Herald spe-
cial, dated London, August Z, says: A
cabinet council was held this afternoon.
The discussion resulted in important
changes in the present ministry. The
Marquis of Ripon, Mr.. Ohilders and Mr..
Baxter have resigned-the first two for
private reasons. Mr.. Gladstone, in addi-
ton to the premiership, assumes the chan
cellorship Of the exchequer, in lieu of Mr.
Lowe, who assumes the home office.
Mr. Bruce is to be made q peer, and
will succeed Lord Ripon as president Of
the council. Mr.. Bonham Carter succeeds
Mr.. Baxter as joint secretary of the trea-
sury. Arthur Peel becomes liberal whip.
Other changes are expected in few days.
John Bright joins the cabinet as chancellor
of the Duchy of Lancaster.
The liberals lost the election Yesterday
in East Staffordshire.
LONDON, August S.-The debris found
off the coast OF Ireland, it is feared, is from
the wreck of the steamship Alabama from
Glasgow, Saturday. No survivors from any
wreck have been as yet reported.

The shield of Health.

Debility opens the door To disease. Nor is this
all. When the door has been opened and the ter
rible intruder has entered, physical prostration
renders it's progress to the citadel Of life compare
lively easy Therefore bar the door, and If possible
keep 1t barred or if the enemy has already Sc
cured a foothold, rally the strength Of the system
and assist to drive out the foe of health and
life The means of doing this is within every ones
reach. Brace up the physique with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters when there elements in the
air you breathe the water you drink that arc
morbid and unwholesome. This is barring the
door. Epidemics aud endemics will assail in vain
the living fortress that is thus protected II may
"laugh siege TO scorn." But If this precautionary
measure has been neglected, the seeds of disease
can be elected by the same potent vegetable agent
that would, IL taken earlier, have prevented their
obtaining an entrance into the system. The slim
ulating, invigorating, regulating and purifying
properties Of this vital elixir render it most
formidable antagonist Of all facilitating disorders
The rapidity and certainty with which il van
quishe fever and ague, rheumatism, bilious collie

chuSetts.

By our friends abroad prohibition is
viewed as an experiment. States West,
South, and beyond the ocean ask, "How
does it work Is it perfect success in
Massachusetts ?"
The last question can be answered in
one word no. 1t is not Il perfect sue
cess. We have several hundreds of
towns and cities, and they have shown
every degree of result, from great sue
cess to failure. What then has been the
result in the State as whole? No an
swer is entitled to SO much weight
as that which comes officially from the
representatives of the people. In a re-
cent vote the House declared for the
prohibition of the beer traffic, as well as
the spirit traffic, by vote of 145 to u,
and the Senate by vote of "A to II.
Their vote is their answer TO the qUes-
ton.
AS against license, prohibition has no
longer anything to fear. With us the
license is obsolete It is nevertheless
true that much of the battle is yet TO be
fought. The traffic is not yet over
thrown. The liquor question will en-
ter largely into the issues of the next
election. But license will not be named.
No such thing as license flag will he
hoisted The whole effort of the traffic
will be to find some trick device, or
cover under which it can evade the law,
or embarrass its execution. Prohibition
has yet much to fear from these indi-
rect means, but nothing whatever from
open, avowed opposition. Our friends
abroad may rest assured that, although
side issues remain, the main question as
to the policy of Massachusetts is irrev-
yocably settled. boston News.
