MANY CHANGES.
Campos' Successor Likely to Over,

The General to Sail for Spain Janu.
AIRY 2o-Adverse Opinion at Madrid
Regarding His Policy.

Havana, Jan. 1S.-A large number of
residents of the city of Havana called
upon Gen. Martinez Campos Saturday
to pay their respects. The retiring
captain general received his visitors in
the capacity of a private citizen. 1t is
believed that he will sail for Spain on
Monday. Lieut.. Gen. Marin is now in
charge of the captain generals palace.
A great many changes are expected in
the military department. There is
considerable talk inti1hating that Gen.
Polavieja will be sent here from Spain
to act as governor of Cuba and COM
mander in chief of the Spanish forces.
Think tho Change Will BE Beneficial
Madrid, Jan. 1S.-The consensus of
opinion here is that the superseding
of Gen. Martinez Campos in command
of tile Spanish forces in Cuba, will
greatly improve the situation there.
The military journals censure Gen.
Martinez Campos and declare that his
splitting up his 100000 followers into
small sections to protect rural prop
erty has been the chief cause of the eX-
tension of the Cuban revolt.
Dispatches received here from Havana
say that Gen. Martinez Campos will
eail for Spain on January 90.
What the Cuban War Has Cost.
Havana, Jan. 1s.-The war is costing
Spain $6,0OO,O0O q month for the MAIN
tenance Of the army alone. From the
outbreak, February "a, 1895, until Jan
Iary i. 1896, the cost amounted to $685.
100000, according to figures published
by La Discussion, here. The loss, ow-
ing to the burning Of crops, towns and
destruction of railroad property can
not be calculated until the smoke clears
away. The Cubans, without recogni-
ton as belligerents, are long way
from obtaining freedom for Cuba, but
Spain, on the other hand, seems to be
long way from crushing out the
trouble.

ST. Louis, Jan. 1S.--lhe national com.
mittee of the peoples party, which Fri

assembled Saturday morning at ten

ious to secure the next convention for
their respective city. The committee
went into executive session at noon,
and received definite propositions, in
Guiding financial contributions from
the contesting cities. 1t is the evident
purpose of the committee to postpone
action until a subcommittee has con.
ferrcd with the bimetallic league in

be held in the same city and at the same
time. No other business was transact

If we could trace Dyspepsia to it's
source, it would lead back to our
kitchens. In fact, the secret of good
health is good cooking. If well cook
ed, foods are partially digested; il
poorly cooked they are less digestible
than in their raw state. II you are a
victim Of faulty cooking; that IS, il
you suffer from Dyspepsia the ration
al cure must be looked for in an arti.
ficially digested food, and a food
which will at the same time aid the
digestion of other foods. Such a
preparation virtually rests the tired
digestive organs, thereby restoring
them to their natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared
by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is
just such preparation, and q single
10 cent bottle will convince you of its
value. II your druggist doesn't keep
it, he will be glad to get it through his
wholesale house.
