SECURING 4 GERMAN LOAN.
The Turkish Porte Viii Borrosc Thirty
Million Francs.

Million francs.
LONDON, Eng, Feb. 2.-The Times will
tomorrow publish dispatch from Con-
stantinople saying the Porte is stated to be
negotiating with the German banking
house of Bleichroder, for loan of 80 600. 600
francs, to be secured by the Government s
share of the lighthouse receipts. This
share was raised to 25 per cent in October,
1894. Great Britain protested against this
action. alleging that the efficiency of the
lighthouse service would be impaired or
excessive dues would be charged.
The Porte made no reply to this protest,
and the palace has now instructed the
Government not to make any reply, but to
hasten the loan.
Sir Philip Currie, the British Embassa-
dor to Turkey, has written letter to the
Daily News, which that paper will publish
tomorrow, denying that Mr.. Fontance,
the British Consul at Angora, had been
transferred to Harpoot, and that Mr..
Richards, British Consul at Jeddah, would
succeed Mr.. Fontance at Angora.

STRENGTHENING THE TRoCHA.

Armies of the insurgents Prevented From
JOintng Each Other.
HAVANA, CUBA, Feb. General Sabas
Marin, the acting Captain-General, who
has taken the field in person against the
rebels. is directing active operations with
a view to forcing Antonio Maceo, who is
said to be on the eastern boundary of
Pinar del Rio, to a decisive engagement.
Yesterday General Marin was at Guira de
Melena and to-day he was at Quivican,
province of Havana.
A strong force is proceeding against
Gomez, the rebel communicating chief,
who was last reported to be east of Quivi-
can, near the center of the province of Ha-
vana. Several engagements between the
troops and rebel bands have taken place
recently, but no details are obtainable.
A freight train consisting of thirty cars
was stopped by insurgents yesterday at
Pozo Rekendo, few miles south of San
Felipe, on the Havana and Batabano Rail-
way. Troops have been sent in pursuit of
the rebels. who stopped the train by re-
moving rails. The engine was badly dam
aged. 1t is not known whether the rebels
made away with any freight or not, but it
is supposed that they did.
The trocha, or military line, that has
been established across the island with a
view to preventing Maceo from going
eastward across the province OF Havana
has been greatly strengthened, and the
authorities here believe that Gomez is to
the east OF the line and Maceo to the west,
and that General Marin VIII be able to pre-
vent junction of their forces and defeat
each of the rebel commanders separately.

WEST JOINS THE LOBBY,
Utah's Ex-Governor Will Lead
Huntington's Fight at
Frankfort.
Senator Goebel's Bill Will Be Re.
ported From the Committee
Early in the Week.

FRANKFORT. KY, Feb 2.-The bill to
repeal the Southern Pacific charter will be
reported from the committee the first of
the week. An open session of TIE COM
mittee to hear arguments pro and con has
been announced. 1t seems foregone
conclusion that the committee will report
the bill favorably, but after argument the
sentiment may be changed.
Ex-Governor West of Utah is here, pre-
sumably to visit his friends, but it is said
he will lead the lobby against the bill.
Both tho Hunter and Blackburn people
are afraid of the bill and are noncom nit
tai in the matter, though it is known the
friends of repeal win expect their support.

body, and as it cannot go any place else,
more or less of it gets into the blood.
That's constipation. 1t is such wonder
fully simple thing that people do not regard
it seriously. They let it run on, let it grow
worse, become chronic, and show itself all
over the body in fifty ways before they con-
slider 1t important. Constipation causes
nine7tenths of all human ailments. Its first
symptoms do not seem very serious, but
even they are very disagreeab1e. A few of
them are sour stomach, fatulence, heart
burn, distress after eating foul breath,
coated tongue, dizziness, palpitation of the
heart, sick and bilious headaches, general
lassitude and debility. When any of these
symptoms show themselves, you should
immediately take DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
lets, according to directions. They are tiny,
sugar-coated granules, made on purpose to
cure constipation. They do this perfectly
and quickly, and they are the only prepara-
ton in the world that will do it. There are
plenty of medicines that will give relief as
long as you keep on taking them, but you
can't stop. They don't cure; they give
merely temporary relief. Doctor Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets give immediate relief and
produce permanent cure.

the English railway between Barcelona
and Gunta refuses to obey the order of the
Government as to the resumption of pas
senger train service, which was stopped
under the excuse that the business did not
warrant such service. The refusal of the
manager is tempered by the statement
that he cannot act without direct orders
from the London Office.
The company will be fined $500 for each
days failure to run trains. as ordered.
The officials say the company has violated
the terms of its contract and grant in

BUTTE. Mont, Feb. 2.--It is likely a
huge claim will be made against Canada
for timber depredations in the northern
part of the State. Colonel T. A. Root,
Government inspector for Montana and
Idaho, has received many complaints
lately from settlers in Northern Montana
that the Canadians have for some time
been coming across the border and cutting
trees until the forests In two counties are
nearly stripped of timber.
1t is believed that two or three million
dollars worth of timber has been taken in
this way, IS the thieving has been going
on for some time.

Several Hours.
NEW YORK. N. Y, Feb. 2.-For an
hour and halt tonight, the Cunard steam
ship Umbria was prisoner in the mud of
North river. The vessel had reached her
pier and was being warped into the slip.
The tide was lower than usual. owing to
the strong westerly wind, and for that
reason when the Umbria had been headed
in she was caught in the soft mud.
The vessels engines were reversed, but
she refused to bulge. Tugs were sent fer,
and after four of them had hauled away
for an hour the Umbria slipped into her
berth.
In the strong box of the Umbria there
was gold consignment of $l,901, ,775. S.
Fleming, the purser, said he did not know
where the gold was going.
