PATTERSON, N. j., June 10.-Herman
Flick, of Paterson, naturalized citizen
of the United States, has for five
months been confined, under military
charge, in the village of Kohlen,
Byringstedt, in Germany. The cause
alledged for his Imprisonment is his liza
bility to serve in the war of that coun.
try, but as he is provided with passports
from the department of state, and Is,
moreover, much under the height re-
quired for recruits, 1t Is Thought that
there are other reasons for his con-
fnement. Just before his Illness
began, Secretary Gresham received
some startling information concerning
the continued imprisonment of Ameri-
can citizens in Germany, and though
his illness prevented immediate action,
the department has now taken hold Of
the matter vigorously.

A MEDICAL AUTHOR.
DR.. Hartman Writes on Chronic Catarrh,
Coughs, Colds, La Grippe and Con-
sumption as FolIows:

Chronic catarrh is the bane Of Amer
lean civilization. There is no organ OF
the human body that ii cannot destroy.
nor disease il does not initiate. Catarrh
prevails in all seasons and spares TO
calling or vocation. No locality is en-
tirely free from its ravages; no amount
of vitality can Withstand it's attack.
Neither childhood or old age is exempt
from its presence, and it does not re-
spect sex, color, or nationality. Sum
mer and winter, spring and autumn.
chronic catarrh ceases not to affiict a
large per cent of the inhabitants of this
country. But it is especially during the
winter season that catarrh does it's
most deadly work. Every cold wave.
every wintry blizzard. every storm of
sleet. snow or rain adds thousands TO
the annual list of victims of chronic
catarrh. Catarrh is liable TO attack
any organ of the human body.
Unfortunately. however. catarrh of
most OF the organs is not called Ca
tarrh. and many people are led astray
as to the real nature OF their disease.
If the catarrh happens TO be located
in the head or throat il is then general
ly called catarrh; but If il is located in
the bronchial tubes ii is called bron-
chitis: II In the lungs, consumption; II
In the stomach it is called dyspepsia;
catarrh of the kidneys is called Bright's
disease, Wnile Cdtdrrn or the pelNlC or
gans is called female weakness and
various other names.
Catarrh medicines are of two classes.
those that cure and those that relieve
Those that cure are called specifics;
those that only relieve are called palli-
atives: The effect Of catarrh pallia-
tives is often immediate. but always
temporary. They never cure. This
kind OF catarrh medicines includes
sprays. snuffs. inhalents. gargles and
local applications Of all kinds. They
seem TO cure for awhile. but the dis
ease is sure 10 return.
Pe-ru-na belongs to the class OF ca
tarrh medicines called specifics. Peru
ma does not palliate the symptoms. but
cures the disease. It is sometimes slow
in it's action IN old cases OF chronic ca
tarrh. but II is sure and its effects are
permanent Thousands OF cures are
reported every year. 1t is also an IN
falling remedy for coughs, colds, bron-
chitis, la grippe. consumption IN its
early stages and all the chronic dis
eases OF winter. An excellent treatise
on catarrh will be sent free 20 any ad-
dress by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufac-
turing Company OF Columbus, Ohio.

FOUGHT FOR FIVE HOURS.
General Ozeko Strikes Some Chinese Who
Were Not Going His Way.

Seoul, Dec. 2S,-The Coraan govern
nent will receive at the beginning of
1895, a loan from 5000 900 yen from
Japan and will issue paper money TO
the amount of Is, 900, 900 yen.
Negotiations have been promulgated
for the registration and control of all
Chinese visitors to residents in Korea
The king of Korea is about to assume
a new title, to signify his independence
OF China and his equality with all neigh
boring SoVereignS.
The latest reports from the Lia-Tung
peninsula indicate that the second Jap
anese army under General Oyama is
not moving rapidly northward but hold
the western coast, as if in readiness for
some operation requiring a passage
across the gulf. All the recent fight
Ing near New Chang has been done by
attachments from the first army. The
Chinese general, Sung, after evacuating
Kai Ping, did not stop at Wing kow as
at first supposed, but marched further
north with the apparent purpose Of
efecting a junction with the troops in
the vicinity of Hal Cheng, on the high
road from New Chwang to Moukden.
He was intercepted on December a
small town named Hung Wasai by
Major General OZeko and a battle en-
sued in which the Chinese are said to
have fought better than on any previ-
mated at 10000; Ozekos was 1000 The
Chinese held their ground five hours,
sustaining four hand to hand encoun-
ters before they broke and fed. The
Japanese did not pursue. Their losses
were two officers killed and twelve
wounded, fifty-two priva ties killed and
B46 wounded. The Chinese losses are
unknown, but are believed 10 have
been very heavy, as in addition to the
casualties of the battle great numbers
were drowned crossing the Sac river
In spite of the strong objections to
the Chinese government, the foreign en-
voys at Picking have called force of
marines and sailors. numbering 400 to
the capitol for the protection of the le-
cations and the few foreigners remain
ing there today. The overland march
of these guards from Tien Tsin. was
extremely difficult owing TO the excess
sive cold and the refusal of the author
tiles to render any assistance. To pre-
serve the appearance OF affording pro-
lection, the government has detailed
native troops to attend the foreign le-
cations, but these bodies are so I'M
welcome that they will probably be dis
pensed with.
