WASHINGTON LETTER
FROM OUR REGULAR CoRREsPoNDEN-

WASHINGTON, DEC. 29TH, 1896.
"If Spain doesn't wish to see more
radical change of sentiment in the Unit
ed States in favor of Cuba than that
which has recently taken place in favor
of conservative course in dealing with
the Cuban question: recently said a
high official, "she will call off the lying
presses that has lately been employed
in Europe He was referring especi-
ally to the report first published in a
Paris dispatch to the London Times,
that Germany had intimated to the
United States government that if it
took any action calculated to aid the
Cubans, Germany would join SPAN in
making war upon lis. 1t was hardly
necessary for the State Department to
take the trouble to deny such rot as
that, but its officials did so soon as it
was published. 1t can be stated on
high authority that no European gov
ernment has ever given this govern
ment the slightest hint that it wished
to interfere with the course this govern.
ment was pursuing or WAS intending to
pursue toward Cuba. On the contrary,
some of them have given this govern
ment assurances that they would keep
their hands off in case we had any
trouble with Spain. The publication
of this report was unquestionably in

in this country, and through that sentl.
ment upon Congress and the President;
but even if such report were known
to be true, it would have an effect just
the opposite from that intended. Amer.
leans have been outwitted in diplomacy
by European nations, but they have
never been frightened by any of them
or all of them, and what is more, they
never will be. Americans don't want
war, but if they should have to fight
Spain, they would much prefer fighting
her backed by Germany to fighting her
alone. Spain is regarded as such a
pigmy among the worlds nations that
there would be but little credit attach
ed to thrashing her. but Spain assisted
by any of the great European nations
would make foe worth licking, if war
caunot be honorably avoided.

But when physical weakness or disease 10
added to a woman's burden it becomes al
together too heavy No woman can be
cheerful or hopeful who Is dragged down
by continual pain and physical wretch

The special weaknesses peculiar to the
feminine organism are comparatively easy
to overcome if the earlier symptoms are
given proper attention But If allowed to

into serious, chronic complications.
Any woman afflicted with these delicate
ailments ought to have the immediate aid
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t is
a perfect and unfailing specific for all dis

fishes this purpose as no other medicine

For nearly 90 years DR.. Pierce has been
chief consulting physician of the lnvalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,

of associate specialists, he has successfully
treated many thousand cases of female
complaint"
