NAVAL MILITIA
The naval militia, which was author
lied a few years ago as an experiment,
has now developed into body OF en-
terpris:ng young men, active and ener-
gtic in the discharge Of their duties, and
promising great usefulness. This estab-
lishmeRt has nearly the same relation t.
our navy as the national guard IN the dit
ferent states bears to our army; and II
constitutes a source OF supply for our
naval forces, the importance Of which Is
Immediately apparent.

The German Emperor Enthuai-
astioally Greeted in Italy,
TIE MEETING OF THREE RULERS.

II Is Believed That Francis Joseph of
Austria VIII Also he the Guest OF King
Humbcrt aud That the Drotbund VIII
be Reconstructed.
GENOA March 25.-Empcror William
and Empress Augusta arrived hero last
evening on their way To- Naples Great
political interest attaches to this visit to-
Italy of the German emperor, as it has
been generally expected that when ne met
King Humbart the Emperor Francis Jo-
seph OF Austria viii be the guest of the
king OF Italy at the same time. 1t is as
sumcd I'm all public discussion of the visit
that the subject of the conference between
the three soyereigns or i'm the absence of
the Austrian emperor between the two,
Will be the relations between the three
countries of the drcibund.
The results of the recent visit Of Count
GoluchoWski the Austro Hungarian pre-
mIer, To Berlin were all in favor of the
maintenance of the drcibund The work
begun there, it is expected, will be com
pletcd during Emperor Williams stay,
though it is freely surmised that the Ger
man emperor desires some notifications
in the triple bond which will leave him
freer TO place Germany in accord with
Russia in the far east.
The illustrious pair were received here
with every manifestation of courtesy and
hospitality. The streets were thronged
with great crowds of the people, all eager
to catch a glimpse of the German royalties
and all cheering to give them welcome.
The town is gay with bunting flags fly
ing on all sides.
The Duke of Genoa, brother of Queen
Margherita, was entrusted with the duty
of welcoming the visiting sovereigns and
he met them at the railway station. The
/ emperor greeted him cordially, and his
/ royal highness kissed the hand of the EN-
| press Augusta.
As part of the ceremony of welcome
the duke then presented the municipal au-
thorities Of Genoa to the imperial pair,
/ who listened to the addresses presented to
them, and then proceeded to the debark-
ing quay the Duke of Genoa escorting the
empress and Emperor William following
with their two sons. The duke bade fare
well to the party as they proceeded on
board the imperial yacht Hohenzollorn,
which was in waiting, amid the cheers of
the crowds on the quay. Emperor Will
lam, in the undress uniform of an adj
miral, took his place on the bridge of his
yacht, and stood bowling to all sides as the
yacht started amid the booming of salutes
and the cheers of the onlookcrs. The en-
peror cried in Italian Live the kingl'
and the Genoese responded to the compli-
ment with tuInultuous shouts of "Live
the kaiser!"
The shipping in the harbor was gaily
dressed with bunting and with lights
and lent much animation to the scene
| The imperial yacht was preceded by 9
steamer burning Bengal lights and with
band on board playing the German ma
tional anthem. Thus speeded on theii
journey the emperor and empress OF
Germany sailed away for Naples.

Boston, March 25.-The Standard pub
fishes a letter from Captain @. S. B. Va

1--WE have marched and countermarched
over 400 miles of territory the past two
months and have met the enemy thirty-one
different times, in twenty eight of which
we have been successful. The severest of
these was on the railroad from Havana to
Matanzas, in Havana province, about nine
teen miles from the capital, the battle of
Nora del Rey. The enemy left twenty
nine killed and fifty-one wounded on the
field nine of whom were officers. General
Gomez lost three killed and thirty one

SPANISH BLTNDERING.
Another Battle Between Allies on
a Cuban Plantation.
NINETEEN KILLED MANY WOUNDED

AS Result of the Mistake a Court Mar
tial Has Been ordorcd-Details Of tho
Destruction of san Antonio Las Vegas
by Fire.
HAVANA, March 25.-Another terrible
mistake, attended with loss of life and re-
sulting in many soldiers being wounded
has taken place, In some manner uneX-
planned two columns Of Spanish troops
opened fire upon each other at midday
According TO the few details received
here the columns of troops commanded by
General Godoy and Colonel Hblguin, at
the Santa Rosa plantation near Espanza,
province of Santa Clara mutually mis-
took each other for insurgent forces, ow-
ing it is said, to the thickness of the sugar
cane. Each detachment opened fire upon
the other, and for ten minutes shots were
exchanged, resulting in the killing of scv-
enteen soldiers, among them being Lieu
tenant Colonel Fuenmayor of the Navas
battalion In addition five officers and
eighty-four soldiers were wounded. Two
Of the latter have since died, six others are
mortally wounded and thirty-two are Sc
riously injured.
Owing TO the fact that the meeting be-
tween the two columns took place at mid
day the explanation furnished by the
Spanish commanders is considered unsat-
isfactory, and court martial will follow
Full details have now been received of
the burning by the insurgents of the
town of San Antonio de las Vegas, in
Pinar del Rio, the news of which was
cabled to The Associated Press at the time
of the occurrence.
On the night of Sunday, March 10, q
numerous band of insurgents, under the
leadership Of Peter Diaz Castillo, invaded
the handsome town of San Antonio de
las Vegas with the twofold purpose of
converting it to heap of ashes and of
compelling the Spanish garrison to sur
render by burning and smoking them out
The first part of the plan succeeded,
making paupers of thousands of indus
trious workingmen, whose families hastily
| left their homes in the midst of the flames
and the fearful Kissing of deadly bullets,
seeking shelter in the wilderness and the
woods Mothers caught up their tender
children in their feeble arms, sons dragged
their sick and aged fathers out of the fire
to distance from the town.
The second part of the plan for the cap
ture of the garrison failed, though it was
frustrated only after bitter struggle. The
sentinel on watch gave the alarm when
the insurgent forces first made their ap-
pearance, and the officers and the garrison
were promptly at their posts A shower
of bullets was thrown into the ranks of
the invading enemy through loop holes
and from behind parapets. But this did
not prevent the spread of the fire in the
town. 1t was already feeding upon the
houses adjoining the fort when the com.
mander, Captain Gonzalez ordered the
whole force of the garrison into the streets
to demolish the houses which were supply
ing food for the flames.
The attack by the insurgents lasted foi
two hours, when they were finally routed
with heavy loss, their killed and wounded
being carried off with them when they re
treated.

THE CAUSE OF LAGR1PPE.



Digestion.
Careful observation in many cases of Ia
grippe extending over several years have
gradually developed the fact that 10 is very
generally caused from dictctic errors
In other words, during the prevalence Of
lagrippr persons who suffer from indigestion
or stomach troubles are almost invariably
victims of the epidemic
This can be readily understood when you
remember that the germs of any disease
cannot gain a roothold in the system of a
man or woman who is blessed with perfect
digestion because perfect digestion means
perfect health, and such persons can bid
defiance to la grippe or to any other prevail
ing epidemic
For this reason physicians have recently
introduced into their practice the new
preparation known as SHarJ's Dyspepsia
Tablets as an almost certain preventive of
la grippe, as this remedy by giving perfect
digestion and assimilation of the food so
fortifcs the system against disease that all
danger from this epidemic is reduced to a
minimum
So popular have Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
become that it is claimed within one month
after being made known to the public one
hundred and ninety-three druggists in
Detroit, Mich, alone were selling it and
to-day they pronounce it the most satisfactory
remedy they are selling for all forms Of
stomach arrangement.
The price at druggists is but so cents for

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The Spanish
government has officially disclaimed re-

in the columns of the Madrid newspaper,
El Epoca The article which has called
forth the disclaimer was one demanding
that the United States cease talking about
the Cuban insurrection or else declare war
at once upon Spain, and the government
felt that it might be harmful, because it
was intimated that the article was in
spired by it.
