FIND THE WRECKAGE.
THE REINA REcENTE SUNK OFF
GIBRALTAR.
h Spanish Warship Alfonso XII
Makes the Discovery, and Reports at
Cadiz-The Grow Of 4a0 Ken Lost
with the Cruiser.

Cadiz, March 2O.-The Spanish cruis-
er, Alfonso XII, has returned here
after searching for the missing cruiser,
Reina Regente, and reports having
found the latter vessel sunk near Bajo
Aceitanos, not far from the straits of
Gibraltar. Only twenty inches of the
Reina Regente's masts showed above
water. The Alfonso XII. has returned
to the scene of the wreck with a num-
Der of divers and diving appliances in
order to recover the bodies of the crew
of the sunken warship.
The Reina Regente was reported
missing March 10. She had just con-
veyed from Cadiz to Tanghr the re-
turning Moorish mission to Spain.
Pieces of one Of her boats and flags
We're reported to have been picked up
along the shore near Ceuta and Tarifa.
She carried a crew of 42O officers and
men and all are believed to have per-
ished.
The Reina Regente, about two years
ago., visited New York as one of the
Spanish squadron which escorted
across the Atlantic h Columbus cara
vels. The 1nfanta Isabel, now reported
to have sunk an American schooner off
LIN COdSl Ol CuDd, ana the NueVd LIS
pana were the other ships of the Span
ish squadron. All three of these Spanish
warships took a conspicuous part in
h great Columbian naval parade in
New York harbor on April q of the
same year.
The Reina Regente was launched in
1887 and was one of the three second
class deck-protected cruisers of the
same build, her sister ships being the
Alfonso XII. and Lepanto, all of 4,SOO
tons, $4,000 horsepower and expected
to steam twenty knots. The wrecked
cruiser was 500 feet long, had so feet 6
inches beam and a draught Of 20 feet 4
inches. She was propelled by twin
screws. Her protected deck was 43-4
inches thick on the slopes, her coming
tower had S inches of arnor and her
gun shields were 8 inches thick.
The armament of the Reina Regente
consisted of four 91-2-inch Hontoria
guns, one on each side forward of the
central super-structure, one on each
side aft; six 4 ga Montoria guns in
~broadside, the forward and after pair
in sponsors, middle pair in recessed
ports, and fifteen rapid-fre and ma
chine guns. She was also fitted with
five torpedo tubes.

OUR TRADE UNFRAMED.
Ere nch Embargo on Meats 1noonsequent

Ere nch Embargo on Meats Inconsequental
Because Shipments Are Small.
Paris, March 19.-M. Rollin, manag-
ing partner of the Paquin Compagnie,
which hal practically a monopoly Of
the Importation Of American cattle in
to France, said toby:
THE first notable effort to open up
a market for American cattle was made
in 1890, when 1000 head were consigned
to us. The prices realized were not high
enough to tempt American exporters to
continue shipping until 1893, when the
drought in France began to make it
profitable. In 1894 we imported Is, 900
head. The most Of this consignment
was sold at remunerative prices, until
August of that year, when prices
dropped until, by November, they had
become so low that only one exporter,
Nelson Morris o1 Chicago, continued
consigning.
The trade is now so small that the
prohibition Of importation of American
cattle practically amounts to nothing.
Resembling the prohibitory order would
not lead to a renewal Of importation,
except for brief periods after a
drought. If the government at Wash
ington were informed of the facts, it
Is unlikely that congress would adopt
any retaliatory measures, seeing that
the French prohibition Of the importa-
ton Of American cattle has inflicted no
injury upon American trade"

Eb 81 I'm ii! WARS!
sTf5ETGt7lP ALMOST WON WHERE
THU BULLET FAILED.
Our symnpsthies Always Enlisted i the
Inarmfttes OF the Veteran.

From Woodstock, Va, Herald.
There IL an old soldier In woodstock.
Va, who served in h war with Mex
leo and in h war Of the rebellion, Mr..
Levi McInturf. He passed through
b6th these wars without a serious
wound. The h%ardships, however, told
seriously on him, for when the grip
attacked him four years ago It nearly
killed him. Who can look on the I'M
drmities OF q veteran without q feeling
OF the deepest sympathy? His towns
people saw him confined to his house so
Frustrated with great nervousness that
he could not hold a knife and fork at
and as he attempted 1t, he often
stumbled and fell. They saw him
treated by the best talent to be had
but still he suffered on for four years,
and gave up finally in despair. One
day, however, he was struck by the
ccoun of q cure which had been eff
fected by the use of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. He Immediately ordered a box
and commenced taking them. He says
he was greatly relieved within three
days time. The blood found it's way
to his fingers and his hands which had
been palsied assumed a natural color,
and he was soon enabled to use his
knife and fork at the table. He has
recovered his strength to such an x
tent that he is able to chop wood, shock
corn and do his regular work about his
home. He now says he can not only
walk to Woodstock. but can walk
across the mountains. He is able to
lift q ffty-two pound weight with one
hand and says he does not know what
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have done for
others, but knows that they have done
a great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court
day, and was loud in his praises OF the
medicine that had given him so great
relief. Mr.. McInturf is willing to make
affidavit to these facts.
DR.. Williams pink Pills were used for
many years by an eminent practitioner
who produced the most wonderful re-
suits with them, curing all forms Of
weakness arising from watery blood or
shattered nerves., two causes Of al
r9ost every i'll to which flesh is heir.
The pills are also a specific for the
troubles peculiar to females, such as
suppressions, all forms of weakness,
chronic constipation, bearing down
pains, ETC., and in the case of men will
give speedy relief and effect a perma-
nent cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork. or excesses Of
whatever nature. They are entirely
harmless n can be given to weak and
sickly children with the greatest good.
Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or
will be sent post paid IN receipt Of
price, 900 cents a box, or six boxes for
$2.50-by addressing DR.. Williams

CINCINNATI, March ls.-(special.)-
The resolution to isolate consum ptiyes
IT the pest house, came before the hos
pital trustees yesterday A protest
from DR.. Amick was read. Two hos
pital doctors persisted that consump-
tives be sent to the smallpox pest
house. Mayor Caldwell and another
trustee opposed the removal. BY unan-
imous consent the resolution was
tabled indefinitely, never to be resur-
rected. Mayor Caldwell suggested
use Of Amick treatment at the hos
pital. Definite action was deferred.
This victory won., DR.. Amick will bat-
tie for consumptiues everywhere. He
is mailing free copies Of his victory
and the Amick consumption records,

Washington, March 20.-As a result
Of a conference between President
Cleveland, Secretary Gresham, Chair
man McCreary of the house committee
On foreign affairs, Senator Frye Of the
corresponding committee in the senate,
and others it has been practically de-
cided to give Spain ample opportunity
to demonstrate it's position in the Al
lianca case. Having sent = sharp note
demanding an apology n the proven
ton of similar occurrences in the future
Uncle Sam will now give his Spanish
neighbors time to breathe. The admin
istration having entered On a vigorous
foreign policy is anxious to avoid the
charge of bullying a weaker nation. The
principal reason for abandoning the
idea of n immediate show of force in
Cuban waters is that desire. Spain will
be given all reasonable opportunities to
make the necessary investigation and
show its good faith. When Spain once
admits the firing on an American mail
steamer some sort of reparation must
follow.

JOHN BULL NOT IN 1T.
Has Nothing to Do with the Mexican
Guatemalan Mess.

ms NOUnlng TO DO with the mexican"
Guatemalan Mess.
Washington, March 20-Senor Rom
ero, the Mexican minister here, has en-
tered a formal denial of the accuracy
of the published statement that the
trouble between Mexico and Guatemala
is due to the influence Of a British syn
dictate, which controls the Tehuante-
pee railway from fear of the competi-
ton Of the Guatemala road. The min
lister asserts that the Tehuantepec rail-
way is not controlled by a British syn
dicate, but is owned by the Mexican
government: hat its natural advan-
tages are so pronounced that h pro-
jected railroad. cannot compete with it
successfully, and finally that a war
would only delay and would not pre-
vent the completion of the new road.
It would also appear, says the minister,
that British bondholders would have
much more to lose than to gain by a
var which would end to reduce the
value Of their securities.

A ILLUSION.
A Good Story Which Wa Told by Q
Louisville Minister.

0o~S s~ AO ~
Louisville Minister.
That was a good story which the
Rev. c. J. X. Jones of Louisville,
told in a Boston pulpit. He said:
'An alarmist always reminds me
Of a friend of mine who was a COM
mander at the battle Of Round noun
tain. 1t was a hot fight-one of the
hottest of the war. At a particularly
intense part of the action my friend
stood beside his horse scanning the
field with his glass and directing the
troops. He told me it seemed as if
the fire of the whole Confederacy
was conferred on him, the bullets fly
ing thick around him.
Suddenly he felt a mimic ball
singing in the air and he felt some
thing strike his leg. But the occa-
sion was urgent and he kept up his
glass. There was another spin-z-z,'
and he felt another strike. And SO
it continued.
"The captain at last lifted up his
hand and prayed: oh. Lord, l can
go home to my wife and children
without either of my legs, but, oh,
Lord, let me get home
:'Finally there came the shouts of
victory. The battle was won. With
along-drawn sigh the captain turned.
He shouted to his orderly at a little
distance: I'm wounded, Jim. Come
and help me on my horse; I must go
home. It's my last battle
".No, / guess not replied the or
derby.
whats the matter? Come, hurry
up, I'm wounded.
eft you want me to help you,
come here sang out the orderly.
But what's the trouble? Why
can't you come here? Don't you see
I'm wounded and almost dyingg
"'Oh, no, you r not sang out
the orderly again.
"'Come here instantly, you rascal, ,
shouted the commander.
".No, l don't; that's the biggest
nest of yellow Jackets there l ever
saw in my life,' a the final laugh
ing reply Of the orderly.
The storming swarm of hornets
were the only mimic balls that had
struck him"

The seismic s'belt,' which begins
with the end of the United States, has
its buckle in Ecuador, and thence south
ward tapers again, though not rapidly,
for Peru is no stranger to temablores Of
the first magnitude. Guayaquil, on the
edge of the greatest of volcanic centres,
has suffered sorely. But even thus far
from the sea the great peaks are almost
never seen. Personal inspection of the
Pacific coast of South America gives
n to understand how much more
visible are the Andes through the at
mosphereof d reference library in New
York than through their own. For the
closest traveller the giant peaks politely
march eastward twenty to fifty
leagues to colonize his paper VOYAGE
with sights never seen by the veteran Of
twenty years coasting. In truth, the
backbone of the southern continent is
hardly more distinguished by the enor-
mouse height of its scattered vertebre
than by the infallible vapors which
curtain them from the passer on the
Pacific. Now and then some finger of
the wind pokes through the veil, and
let's see h heeting hint of a blue Pres
ence behind; but the rent is repaired
as quickly as made. Until Chile, where
