The United States Supreme Court Holds
Adversely to Him.
WASHINGTON, May 30.-The supreme
court of the United States denied the
motion for a writ of habeas corpus filed
by Debs and his associates of the
American Railway union and they
will have to serve the sentences inn
posed upon them by the lower court.
The cases arose in the United States
circuit court of the northern district
of Illinois. Debs and others disobeyed
the order of the court enjoining them
from further interference with inter
state commerce and the carrying of
the United States mails. They were
brought before court for contempt and
sentenced to from three to six months
imprisonment; the case to be brought
before the supreme court on motion
for leave to file a petition for writ OF
habeas corpus, which was fully argued
by Debss counsel on the one side and
Attorney General Olney on the other.
The decision of the chief justice sus-
tains the action of the court below.

Mr.. Fred Taylor was born and brought

and saw much hard service. Owing to
exposure and hardships during the SER

now over 80 years, with absolutely no
help from physicians BY nature ne

he not been his disease and the expert
ments of the doctors had killed him long
ago. Laudanum was the only thing
which afforded him relief. He had ter
rible headaches, his nerves were shat
tered, he could not sleep an hour day
on an average, and he was reduced to a
skeleton. A year ago, he and his Wife
sought relief in a change Of climate and
removed to Geneva, Ohio; but the
change in health came not. Finally on
the Recommendation of F. j. Hoffner.

was cognizant of similar cases which
Pink Pills had cured, Mr.. Taylor was
persuaded to try box. las drown

Desertions from the Navy.

The statement has been recently made
that twelve hundred sailors deserted
from the navy last year. This is the
proportion of one desertion for every
seven enlisted men. The explanation is
that we cannot keep men in the service
without some encouragement; that the
men realize there is no future for them;
that they get discouraged and desert in
order to enter some other vocation. 1t
is claimed by those who have given the
matter some thought that, if the men
knew that continued and honorable
service would ultimately lead to some
post CT preferment in the navy, they
would remain. These theorists seem to
take no account of the fact that deser-
tions from merchant-ships are and al
WAYS have been quite as common as
those from the navy. The fact is, Jack
is a rowing chap who is always looking
for new and more lenient master.

cattle in Which President Marti Was
Killed.


HAVANA, May 20. The Spanish con-
sui at Jamaica has telegraphed to Cap
tain General Martinez de Campos a
copy Of telegram forwarded to
Jamaica from New York by which the
captain general is ordered to buy 1000
horses for the use of the cavalrymen.
Col. Sandoval has caused to be de-
livered to General de Campos the watch
and correspondence found on the body
of Jose Marti, the insurgent who was
killed at the battle of Bocas de Dos
Rios. Further particulars received
here regarding the fighting at Bocas
de Dos Rios show that the Spanish
troops used the bayonet with terrible
effect. Marti in person led charge
of the insurgents, who were armed
with machetes. Gomez had his horse
killed under him, and it is expected
that he and the wounded chief, Bor-
zero, will eventually fall into the
hands of the troops.
TAMPA, Fla, May 30.-The Cuban
steamer brings news discrediting
Marti's reported death. Passengers
assert that his death is not believed in
Havana by either Cubans or Spanish.
NASSAU, N. p, May 3o.--The battle
where Marti was killed occurred May
10, near Bifoa The Cubans divided
into two bodies, under Gomez and
Maceo. Colonel Sandoval, with 800
peninsular Spanish infantry, en-
countered roo rebel cavalry under
Gomez. In the first charge, the
Cubans rode down the Spanish advance,
killing the sergeant and wounding or
capturing the entire squad Sandoval
personally led the bayonet charge and
the Spanish heroically held the ground
against the rebel horse, fighting the
Cubans face to face. 1t is said Marti,
who led the advance, fell in the third
charge, almost within the Spanish
lines, pierced with seven bullets.
Gomez then came to the front and the
| Cubans made eleven successive fruit
less attempts to break the Spanish
lines to recover Marti's body. In the
last charge Gomez was wounded and
his horse killed under him. The
Spaniards say they only lost five killed
and six wounded. The Cubans had
fifty killed and 100 wounded.
