DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachan Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
FORMAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

This plan has been under consider

is enough money in the treasury ia

The sum of $500, 900 has been APP
propriated the by Junta, and four of
the richest Cubans in this city and
one American in Philadelphia have
agreed to defray the rest of the ex-
penses.
Just what vessel Or vessels have
been picked out for this work could
not be learned yesterday, 1t is al
most certain, however, that the Ber-
muda or her sister ship, the Muriel,
has been selected for the first ven
ture. The latter steamship is now be-
ing repaired and refitted in this port.
The plan is to simply fit out, pro-
vision and put crew on board here.
No attempt will be made to ship the
armament and ammunition at this
point. This will be done either at
some West Indian or friendly Cen
trail American port. The armament
will consist of one heavy rifled gun
and large number of Calling and

chine guns.
The ritied gun will be used as
"chaser' to stop or cripple any ves-
sci that may try to get away. The
machine guns will be used at close

1t was to man this cruiser that some
hundreds of Italians were taken from
Ellis Island during the last week.
The Cubans in this country are few,
and those that there are not sailors.
The Italians taken from the island
were all strong, abled-bodied men,
and were mostly fishermen from Ma

Don CARLOS AMBITION.
Bourbon Prince Would Like to Be
King of Spain.
uniscs the War In Cuba Comes to n Close
Very Soon Revolution In Spain Is
Unavoidable - The Don's
Little Game.

In the best of the Vienna cafes one
may see gentleman of decided Span
lsh Bourbon type. He is of low stature,
has very heavy jaws and chin, a thick
black mustache now slightly tinged
with gray, is dressed always in quiet
black, wearing silk hat and CARRYING
silver-headed cane. He is an en-
bodiment OF Spanish courtesy and dig
nifty. He is now 4s years of age, and
though he makes his home in quiet
street in Austria's capital, where he
spent much of his youth, he often visits
Venice and London, being as much at
home in the latter city as elsewhere.
This man is Don Carlos, duke of Mad
rid. and pretender to the Spanish
throne under the title of Charles VII.
For number of years he lived in Paris,
where, next to Madrid, he naturally
felt most at home. In 1881 he was
charged with conspiracy with the Due
de Chambode to promote the latter's
ambition for the French throne, and was
expelled from Paris. He used to be
seen at the horse-racing in the Bots de
Boulogne, and the story is told that he
put up stakes against Louis Napoleon,
and often beat the latter as judge of a
horses wind.
Don Carlos would be of no particular
public interest at this moment but for
the fact that persons both in and out of
Spain believe that there is some sort of
political crisis impending that the
Spaniards will soon be called upon to
face. This belief was accumulated by |
Campos' departure from Cuba
after his failure to suppress the insur-
rection. If the instruction continues
for few months longer, the Spanish
government must levy high war tax
upon it's home people to continue the
struggle. 1t is believed, and with some
reason, that this strain will break the
back, for the government would
have to summon an army to collect this
ak from people taxed to despair, and
, revolution would follow.
In the event of revolution, which
nay not come, but which is slightly
more than a possibility, there appear

"Zeke" Marston, who was taken to
the Brattleboro retreat recently from
White River Junction, was known in

in the barn, the ak being taken from

the walls and windows of his howell

AT a meeting Of the St. Adams Med.
ical club Friday night the most impor.
tant business was the adoption of res
olution concerning the recent meeting
held at St. Adams by the state board
OF health. The resolution, which was
unanimously adopted, is as follows:
"Resolved, That we protest that the
action of the secretary of the state
board of health, DR.. j. H. Hamilton,
in calling a meeting in this village and
scoring the physicians for neglect in en-.
forcing the health laws, was entirely
uncalled for and unjust, and we feel
that the secretary of the state board Of
health has laid himself open to our
most active condemnati.n and censure"
1t is said the homeopathic physicians in
town fully concur in the resolutions
adopted by the club.
