United States Consul General de Kay.
at Berlin, reports that DR.. Louis Valid
stein, of New York, has discovered the
means of curing consumption, lupus and
perhaps cancer. The doctor announces in
the German medical papers an eXtraOrdi-
nary action of minute injections of pilo-
carpine, crystallized extract from the
Brazilian jaborandi plant. on the lymphat-
ic system. This, in n sense, completes the
celebrated he'll serum" acting favorably
on patients whom the serum does not
cure. The key of the discovery is this:
BY successive injections of minute doses
of pilocarpine in the veins he arrives at
gradual stimulation of the Emphatic
system. That system increases the white
cOrpuscles in the blood, which, in some
way not agreed upon. certainly overcomes
particles in the blood that produce dis
ease. The report closes with statement
of a case OF lupus of twenty-five years
duration, regarded as incurable, which
was relieved Immediately after the first
injection and is now almost cured.

CH[NESEEMPIREDEAD
REPORT THAT THE EMPEROR
WILL SOON ABClCATE.
Proclamation Over His Signature
Has Been Posted in Shanghai and
Elsewhere, Declaring His Ministers
Throws Up HIS Hands.

A dispatch from Shanghai to a London
news agency says that a proclamation
bearing the emperOr's name has been
issued describing the empire as finished
and asserting that he is unable to govern
any longer and that the officials he trusted
are corrupt. 1t is added that the procla-
nation has caused great excitement and
that there are signs of rebellion. The
document, however, is said TO be the work
of the secret societies. Little doubt is
felt at the State Department in Wasting
ton that the proclamation posted in
Shanghai announcing that the Chinese
empire is finished is really the work of the
secret societies, for there is no record in
history of the voluntary abdicatiOn of a
Chinese emperor. 1t is said that these
secret societies, aimed at the existence of
the present dynasty. are numerically
strong in the central provinces, and il is
apprehended that upon the conclusion of
peace their ranks will be swelled by the
disbanded soldiers influenced by the Hun
an. or war, party, and that sporadic revO-
lutionary movements may be expected in
various parts of the country.

Cuban Cause Is Crushed.

Late advices from Havana say that
Maceo is captured and Cuba's last hope
is gone. Crombet has been killed. With
out these two leaders all is chaos in in
surgent ranks. and the most ardent friends
admit that the Cuban cause is lost. The
Spanish authorities are posting bulletins
and the loyalists in Havana are celebrat-
ing the ending of the revolution. With
out Crombet and Maceo there can be no
real war. On Saturday the Cuban army
and the Spanish soldiers met at Palma
rito. The rebel forces numbered 1000
men and the Spaniards 1900 A desper
ate battle followed and. according TO Off
cial reports. lasted two hours. At the
end of that time the rebels retreated. were
pursued by the Spanish troops and Maceo
captured. His secretary was also taken
and al the personal and private papers of
the rebel leader confiscated. The battle
was Il hard-fought one. and the insurgents
battled desperately against odds. The
Spanish soldiers resisted with remarkable
courage the onslaught of the rebels. In
a handto-hand conflict number of Cuban
officers, one Of whom was Il colonel, were
killed.

Britain will accept it as responsive TO the
ultimatum.

MutiIated Corpse Found in n Barrel

Cuban Rebellion Not Crushed-Seven
Wives on His Trail.
Is This n Trick:

If Nicaragua's counter proposition to
Great Britain for the submission OF the
whole question in dispute to arbitration
has been rejected by the latter Govern
ment, as reported, administration officials
will expect another strong appeal Tor as
sistance from the weak republic. The
whole question has now reached an acute
stage and no one at the State Department
ventures to predict what the outcome VIII
be- Nicaragua cannot well afford at the
present time TO pay the $4,000 indemnity
demanded without borrowing the money.
There has been much talk from Nicara-
guam sources about the necessity for ced-
ing Corn Island to Great Britain in lieu
of the indemnity. This talk may be only
q trick On the part of Nicaragua to force
the United States into coming to her res
cue Although Nicaragua might of her
own motion suggest the cessiOn of Corn
Island to Great Britain as means of
escaping the payment OF the indemnity
demanded. such action would neverthe-
less be indirectly the result of coercion
on the part of Great Britain. Hence the
authorities would consider Il move of this
kind q violation of the Monroe doctrine
and. as one official remarked. the admin
istration would be compelled to step in
and prevent by force, if necessary. the
consummation of any such deal This Is
no doubt what Nicaragua would like.

GERM THEORY OF DISEASE.

The Position 1t Occupies and Attcn-
ton 1t Is Receiving from Scientific
Men.
The germ theory of the origin OF
disease is subject which is at pres
ent attracting the attention of scien-
tific men in all parts of the world.
The chief Importance of the germ the
DRY, however, is not that il shows the
origin of disease but that il points out
the best means TO be employed 10 eff
feet a cure. The germs of disease.
from whatever source they come, are
lodged and developed in the blood. The
blood, of course. by circulating 10 every
part of the body, is sure 10 scatter dis
ease throughout the system whenever
it is impure, the weakest and most sus-
ceptible parts being the first 10 suffer.
1t is because of scrofulous taints in the
blood, for instance, that the skin be-
comes covered with eruptions. 1t Is
Tactic acid in the blood which causes
rheumatism, and il is because the
blood does not supply proper nOurish-
ment TO the nerves that people suffer
with nervousness. The cure for all
these diseases, and OF many others.
can only be effected by purifying the
blood, and absolutely destroying all
germs of disease. No intelligent per-
son can doubt that Hoods Sarsaparilla
has actually and permanently cured
many thousands of cases of scrofuia.
rheumatism, nervousness, dyspepsia
and other troubles. and, as its proprie-
tors claim. it is all because this medi-
cine purifies the blood. AS 4 matter
of fact. Hoods SarSaparilla is the only
reliable blood purifier that is before
the public today, and persons afflicted
with impure blood or any of the great
variety OF ailments which il causes.
will be most certain to find relief and
cure in Hoods Sarsaparilla because IL
possesses this peculiar power TO purI-
fy, enrich and vitalize the blood. and
destroy the germs of disease.
