NEW YORK, March 11.-Fidel Pierra, in
charge of the Cuban news bureau in this
city gives out the following statement
from letter dated Santiago de Cuba,
Feb. 2S:
Although General Weyler says that
nobody will be punished in any way un-
less he is convicted of some crime, assas-
sination proceeds on a larger scale. In or
der that you may judge to what extent it
is carried on will give you q few instances.
"On the morning of the 18th inst, in
the ward of Maravilla in the the town of
Guantanamo, the following persons were
found murdered: Celestion parran, col
ored planter, aged 80 years; Luciano Faure,
colored planter 40; Policarpo Baro, col
ored planter, 80; Elias Duran, colored la
borer 30; Manuel Munez, colored planter,
20; Miguel Perez, colored laborer, 5S; Fc-
lix Casado, white planter 40; Rufino
Luuue, white planter, IS; Bias Jimenez,
white planter, 4O Jose Comcx, white
planter, 2l; Ramon Maleta, colored la
borer 45; Tomas Specht, colored laborcr,
20; Rafael Carbonell, colored laborer, 80
years
"The first of these individuals had left
this city tho previous day for Guantanamo,
with his stepdaughter. He was the owner
of small coffee estate. Another of the
murdered men had arrived with six horses
loaded with 100 pounds of coffee, and was
accompanied by lady and "a child of
year. The coffee was sold by the men OF
the guerilla force Of Guyo Romero and the
proceeds distributed among them.
"In Hongolosenso, district of Cobre, on
coffee plantation a Spanish guerilla cut
to pieces a lawyer from Seville, also the
colored man, Juan Despigne, and several
others whose names have not yet ascer-
tained They We're all peaceable people,
engaged in their agricultural occupation.
'In the Maniel a Spaniard, an old
farmer named CorteZ, and another by the
name of Viente, 90 years old, whose only
crime was to have a relative with the Gu
bans, were manacled with five others, and
they were all shot at different places in
the district of Cobre.

IS IT A TRIFLE 4?
THAT COMMON TROUBLE, ACID DYS-
PEPSIA OR STOMACH TROUBLE.
Now Recognized as Cause of Serious
Disease.

]
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach is a form Of indiges-
tion resulting from fermentation of the food
The stomach being too weak to promptly
digest it, the food remains until fermenta-
ton begins, filling the stomach with gas, and
a bitter, sour, burning taste in the mouth is
often present. This condition soon becomes
chronic and being an every day occurrence
is given but little attention. Because dys-
pepsia is not Immediately fatal, many people
do nothing for the trouble.
1t is now well known among able physi-
clans that the whole constitution is gradually
undermined and weakened, that the nerves
and vital organs are seriously affected by
any form of dyspepsia This is plain, as
every organ, every nerve in the body is
nourished by the blood and the blood is re-
plenished from the food digested. If the
food is properly dgested the blood is pure
the nerves steady, but if supplied from a
sour fcrmenting, decaying mass, the blood
is ytiated, poisoned and the result is shown
/ in sleepessness, lack of energy, poor appe-
tite, nervousness. Every trine is manifed
and the dyspeptic sees nothing but the dark
side of everything.
Within a recent period a remedy has been
discovered prepared solely to cure dyspepsia
and stomach troubles. 1t is known as
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and it is now
becoming rapidly used and prescribed as IL
radical cure for every form of dyspepsia
1t is not claimed to cure anything except
dyspepsia and stomach weakness in its
various forms, but for this it has been shown
to be unequalled. The eminent specialists,
Reed and O'Leary, have recently stated that
they considered Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
an unfailing specific for disorders of the
digestive organs and the remarkable cures
made in cases Of long standing dyspepsia
proves that this remedy has extraordinary
merit
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold by
druggists everywhere at 80 cents per pack.
age. 1t is prepared by the Stuart Chemical
Co., Marshall, Mich, and while it promptly
and etiectually restores a vigorous digestion,
at the same time is perfectly harmless and
will not iniure the most delicate stomach
but on the contrary by giving perfect diges-
tion strengthens the stomach, improves the
appetite and makes life worth living.

MADRID, March 11.-There was a serious
anti American riot at Salamanca. The
students, rs usual, were the leaders of the
disturbance. They carried Spanish and
American flags and burned the latter
amid the acclamations of the crowds which

charged the rioters and dispersed them
temporarily Later the students reas-
sembled and gathered another mob about
them. The prefect was compelled TO call
upon the police for protection, and the

The Proper Policy.

San FRANCISCO, Nov. 12.-Con,
gresham Newlands of Nevada, tenn
porary chairman Of the st. Louis Sill
yer party convention, was interviewed
by a Chronicle reporter with reference
to the policy which should control the
silver men from the mining States
during the coming session. Mr..
Newlands said: II believe that we
should accept the verdict of the coun-
try. The Republican party claimed
protection and the Democratic party
silver to be the paramount issue. The
people have declared in favor OF pro-
lection and have given the Republi-
can party contract for the restora-
ton of prosperity. It should be al.
lowed to carry out any reasonable
tariff policy without obstruction. If
it brings prosperity, we will ali be con-
tent; if it does not we will all know
some other remedy is required, and by
the process of elinninatian will come
down to the only radical cure, name
ly, full restoration of silver as a money
metal. The people have spoken and
have declared for protection, and do
not think any obstruction should be
opposed to the popular will. Let tariff
legislation be enacted Immediately,
and we will have chance at the next
Congressional election, and if not
then, at the next Presidential election
to test the sentiment Of the country on
the silver question, unembarrassed by

Isl Democrats a. d Populists in the
55th house were elected as silver men.
Thus Republican majority over a!
in the present house of 135 has changed
into Republican majority Of only 55
in the new house. But as many of the
Democrats in the present house are
sound money men, and very few Of
the Republicans free silver, the gain
is even larger than the Republican
loss.
As it is also uncertain whether the
silver men will not hold control Of
the senate, their small lesses~in( that
chamber are more~t1an offset by the
gains in the Other. Altogether, there
fore, they VIII present IN the next con-
gress far more formidable showing
in numbers than they have been able
TO make in the present congress.
But we borrow no trouble whatever
frola this fact. AS we have said be-
fore, the life Of the movement all
hangs on the industrial and business
conditions Of the immediate future
If the present revival III busi-
ness activity holds on and ex-
pands, the silver movement viii!
disappear quietly and completely.
And if the depression ofthe past three
years should continue the movement
would become threatening if its repre-
sentatives in the next congress did not
