PAYS HONOR TO BISMARCK
Prince Hohenlohe Praises the Men Who
Founded United Germany.

Berlin, Feb. 20.-At a banquet of the
bundesrath tonight, in commemoration
of the twenty-ffth anniversary of the
empire, Chancellor Won Hohenlohe, in
proposing the health Of Emperor Will
lam and the German princes, said he
was well aware that another, a better
and a greater man than he. should &C.
cupy the position he himself filed, the
man whom Germany, next TO the great
Emperor William, honored as the
founder of its unity. For himself he
had only taken a preliminary share in
the great work 10 which the sacrifices
of the German princes made in the pat
riotic decision to join the empire, had
contributed. The national movement
of 184S and 1870 had to reckon with the
local patriotism which had grown upon
the individual states, and which had
been strengthened by the course of his
tory. 1t was this feeling which the en-
peror, who always faithfully upheld
the rights of his federal allies, had ever
taken into account. They must always
be able to count, he said, upon har-
monious cooperation of the different
members of'the empire. He concluded
by calling for cheers for the emperor,
and the princes of the empire and for
the free cities.

II ones complexion is muddy" sal
low or covered with blackbeads the To-
tion bottle is rot the remedy which
should be sought first. Instead, the
candidate for a complexion of roses and
cream should begin to diet. Hot water
taken half an hour before breakfast
with little lemon juice in it is better
than creams to restore the skin to clear
ness. Graham and whole wheat bread,
fruit, clear tea and coffee, If tea and
fo1fee are used, plenty of green vege-
tables, lean meat and boiled fish form
an admirable complexion diet Pastry
and candies should be avoided.
After diet and exercise have paved
the way for other treatment, weekly
face steaming may be tried. The wom-
an whose purse does not permit her
to go to the professional beautifiers
should fill a bowl with boiling water.
Over this she should hold her face, into

head and shoulders and the bowl with

the face she should rub more cold
cream into il, and she should not ven
tlrre out into the AIR for at least three
hours.
To sleep in a poorly ventilated room
is TO invite headache and depression.
Warmth during sleep should be OBJ
tanned from blankets, not from closet

If a daily tub bath is enervating, try

in the morning, should be either cold

by brisk rubbing down with Turk

If the hair is thin or lacking in lus-

| Havana, Feb. 20.-The authorities OF
Cobre have arrested and imprisoned a
man named Rodlofo Sails, vino was en-
gagged in carrying dispatches from
| headquarters to different Spanish COM
manders He had been suspected for
| some time and bogus messages were
placed in his pouch. 1t was Afterwards
/ found that these dispatches had been
/ opened and acted upon by the insur-
gents, thus proving conclusively the
prisoners guilt. He has also been the
bearer of mail matter and is under
stood to have made the best use posi-
BILE in the interest of the enemy. He
will be tried by court martial and If
his guilt is established beyond reason
able doubt the prisoner will most likely
be shot General Pando has arrived at
Santo Domingo and has done great
deal toward establishing order in that
district of Santa Clara. In fact, in the
district of Sagua La Grande, through
which the insurgents have so frequent
~ passed on their way westward, the
planters have gone to work again and
are disposing of their grain and other
products without interference.
The captain general is completing
his plans for the extensive operations
against the insurgents which, it is I'M
derstood, he will conduct in person
with the view of restoring order as
quickly as possible.
Very little accurate news has been
received recently concerning the move
ments and doings of the insurgents.
The Spaniards, however, claim that
of ammunition and they continue
pointing to the fact that although the
enemy has been in the field for about a
year not a town of any Importance
has fallen into their hands and they
have not obtained possession of the
smallest kind of a seaport. On this
ground the Spanish authorities assert
that the insurrection will shortly be
suppressed and that it has never
amounted to anything more than
wholesale raiding upon the part of
undisciplined guerillas who have never
yet had organization or courage
enough to face the Spanish troops in
regular engagement.
When these points are put to a friend
of the insurgents, he is sure TO reply
that if this is the case, how is ii that
the Spanish commanders, with a force
estimated TO amount, lncIudlng Volun-
teers and guerillas, TO about 10000
men, have been unable to sppress the
so-called rebel bands, and that they
are successfully operating within a few
miles of Havana in spite of the advent
of General Weyler and the great prep
arations he has made to suppress the
insurrection.
These are the arguments for and
against the insurgents and the general
public can form ITS own opinion of the
actual state of affairs existing in the
state of Cuba.
Carrillo Aguirre, with force of in |
surgents, has passed through Eina pro
vince of Santa Clara, going westward. |
