Dentistry Without Pain.

I have at last solved the problem of
preparing teeth for filling with no
pain. This is done by the recently
discovered electric instrument which
is simple, scientific and painless, and
is applied to the tooth with no dis
comfort to patient, but allows me to
cut out the cavity, or remove the
nerve, without least pain. As you
know, I also extract teeth without
pain.
Ny Bossier friends and patients
will find me at the same stand.

LEWES, Del, Oct. 11.-At daybreak this
morning the American schooner Luther A.

struck near the point of Cape Henlopen
while terrible northeast gale was prevail

lives and five We're rescued after an awful
experience with the elements The dead
are Harry Milby, Thomas Shines and an

covered Captain Maloney and the men,
bers of his crew rescued with him were
taken out of the sea after they had given
up all hope of reaching the shore alive
When the schooner went to pieces the five
men managed to get hold of the deckhouse.
On this frail raft they were buffeted about
at the mercy of the enormously high seas
until they were seen by the life savers. A
rope was thrown to them, and the five men,
now nearly exhausted, were hauled through
the roaring surf to a place of safety. A
watch is being kept for the bodies of the
three men who lost their lives.

General Maceo's Army Defeated and
Many of His Men Killed.

HAVANA, Oct. u.-A meager report has
been received of another important engage
ment between Spanish forces under General
Echague and Antonio Maceo, in which it is
claimed the insurgents suffered heavy loss
es and the losses of the Spaniards was ad-
mittedy severe. Details very hard to
obtain and are carefully guarded by the
authorities. The battle occurred on Oct. s.
General Echague reports that he found the
insurgents very strongly intrenched under
Maceo himself on the heights of Guayalitos
south of Cacarajcara, in Pinar del Rio
These heights were bombarded for three
hours with ali the means at the command
of the Spanish commander. At the end of
that time he took the heights by assault
and put many of the insurgents to death
with the bayonet, causing them q ieeo5 he35vy
still further loss by a heavy cannonade
which was directed at their retreat. 1t ap-
pears from the official report that the
troops lost fifteen killed. The insurgents
retreated to San Pedro del Caimito, towards
Consolation del Norte. and to Caiguanabo
after burning their camp.

The General reports that Maceo has thor
