Uncle Sam Says He Intends to Stop
FiIibustering Expeditions.
Strict Orders to Seize the Steamer Atlantic
City Wherever Found.

Washington March 10. - Secretary
Carlisle had long conference with the
President, this morning, on the subject Of
enforcing the neutrality laws as against
fiiibustering expeditions leaving the
United States to aid the Cuban insurg
ents. On his return to the treasury, the
following telegram was dictated and sent
broadcast:
1.-THE collector of customs Mt Somers'
Point, \. j., reports that a tilibustering
expedition for Cuba was transferred from
the steamer Atlatnic City TO another
steamer, probably the Bermuda, off Great
Egg Harbor Inlet, yesterday morning, at
s. said to be composed of Gen. Garcia and
several followers.
IF the vessel is carrying an expedition
consisting of arms and men in violation
of title 81, Revised Statutes of the United
States, seize her if she arrives within her
jurisdiction. The fact that the vessel
carries a cargo Of arms Is not sufficient of
itself to authorize seizure. If necessary
communicate with any revenue cutter and
with the United States attorney.
(Signed) Scot Wike, acting score
tary.
Copies of this telegram were sent to all
he collectors of customs along the At
Iantio coast from New York to New
Orleans.

We *

Worn out, nervous women. receive
criticism where they should have
sympathy. They cannot help being
nervous, if their blood is impure.
When the blood fails to feed the
nerves upon proper nourishment what
can you expect but nervous prostra-
ton, debility and nervous headaches?
If the cause is found in impure blood,
the cure must be in making the blood
pure. This is Just what Hoods Sarsa-
parilla does. and it has proved the true
nerve tonic because it is the true blood
purifier, and the solacc. comfort and

CHASED BY SPANIARDS.
Steamer EtheIred for Seco1d Time
Encounters Spanish Cruiser.
Fired on Last Summer. She Is Now Chased
But Not Captured.

Boston. March 19.-An officer of the
British steamer Ethelred, Capt. Hop
kips, arrived this morning. from
Jamaican ports. and reports that
March II. on the outward passage from
this port to Jamaica, the steamer was
chased for an hour and a half by a
Spanish cruiser The Ethelred was
steaming about eight miles off Cape
MaySi. the eastern end of the island of
Cuba. on way to her destination.
She was going about Il knots an
hour when the Spanish cruiser was
sighted. The cruiser hoisted a flag
and the fruiter did likewise The lat
ter continued on her way and the war
ship started in pursuit The Spaniard
did not make over nine knots an
hour and was no match for the fruit
vessel. When first seen by the Ethel
red another cruiser was in company
with the aggressive one but appar-
emily took no interest in the proceed
ings.
No shots We're fired from the war
ship as the distance was too great for
any display of gun practice. 1t is
claimed that the Ethelred was outside
the 3-mile limit the cruiser had no
right to attempt to stop her. The
Ethelred was, last summer. fired upon
off the Cuban coast by Spanish gun
boat.
