the present campaign without making
any headway against Maceo's forces will
greatly aggravate the already critical
situation in Cuba, officials and diplomats
in Washington have been earnestly dis
cussing for some days various plans for
relieving the situation. The question of
a Spanish Cuban armistIc has been
widely discussed. If the conditions will
admit of this there is every reason to be-
lieve that the administration will exer-
else its good Offices to bring about an ar
mistice in the event that affairs become
more critical because of an unsuccessful
campaign against Maceo.
1t Is understood that one form of a
peaceful Intervention which Consul-G Gen
eral Lee has proposed to the authorities
here contemplates the use of the good
Offices of the United States to bring
about modus vivendi for a sufficient
time to enable negotiations to be con-
Quoted for securing the independence of
Cuba by purchase, the United States
guaranteeing the payment of the debt.
General Lee has not advised the inn
mediate adoption of this plan, believing
there would have to be change in the
situation before it could be put into
practical effect.

SAN BENITO WRECKED
The Collier a Total Loss at
Point Arena.
SIX OF THE CREW WERE DROWNED
The Steamer Struck a Sand Bar in
Gale and Broke IN Two--Men
ON the Wreck.

POINT ARENA, CAL, Nov. 22.-The
steamer San Benito. bound from Ia
coma to Saa Francisco, went ashore
seven miles north of Point Arena this
morning. The steamer struck on q
sandbar and broke in two. The San
Benito carried forty-four men. During
the severe storm last night, she must
have lost her bearings. The wind blew
terrific and a heavy sea was running.
The vessel struck about l O'Clock in
the morning, and an hour later broke
just aft of the smokestack. Boats were
lowered, but one capsized immediately
with five men in it, four of whom were
drowned. Another boat, with five of
the crew, capsized nine times, losing two
men. The three men by heroic means
reached the shore. Daylight found the
rest of the crew clinging to the rigging.
Such a heavy sea was running that 1T
was impossible to render assistance.

G. Condor, second assistant engineer;

Michael Pendergast, fireman.
Two men, names unknown.
The steamer Point Arena reached the
scene at IL O'Clock this morning, and
sent out a boat. and, by great bravery,
and skilled seamanship, rescued sevan
men. In making second trip, the boat
was almost swamped, and was compelled

reached shore almost dead. He was re-

At 4 O'Clock this afternoon, sailor

swim ashore with line. The shoulder
straps of his life-preserver broke and the
man went down.
Lighthouse-Keeper Brown, an Indian,

Cunningham manned boat and made
two heroic efforts to connect the wreck
with the shore line, but were unsuc-
cessful.
The steamers Point Arena and Alcazar
are off the wreck, but can render no as
sistance until the sea caIms. A passing
steamer landed gun at Point Arena
this afternoon, and the line will be shot
to the wrecks tonight. Both parts of the
ship are fast in the sand, so feet apart.
The sailors claim the accident was on
account of the foghorn not blowing, but
the night was clear and the light could
be seen many miIes.
The wrecker Whitelaw left for the
scene of the wreck at 9 80 tonight.
Late information from the sunken
steamer seemed to indicate that there is
still a chance of saving something. Cap
tain WhItelaw went prepared to do a
big job. With good fortune, he ex-
pected to reach the wreck by daybreak.
The San Benito was a four-masted
iron steam vessel of 1851 tons. She was
$50 feet long, and was built in Glasgow,
in 1884. For years she has been used as
collier by the Southern Pacific, to
bring coal from Tacoma to this port.
She was due here yesterday.

again saw floating over the city what is
nov firmly believed to be an airship.
An immense white light was displayed,

distinguished. Tonight's visitation
created considerable excitement, and the

New YORK, Nov. 81. Charles Brad
way Rouss is arranging with Mr.. Edison
for treatment with Roentgen rays in the
hope that his sight may be restored.
Since the electrician began his expert

interest in the subject than the million

years, has been practically blind.
"That is single ray upon which to
base my hope," said Mr.. Rouss. sfI
have tried every occulist and every treat
ment that promised relief, and offered
81 ,00o, 900 for cure, but it has all been
of no avail. If there is power in this
man called the ttWizard'' to relieve me
I want to know it."

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CURE.
Theory and Pra ctice of a New Remedy
for the Ills of Indigestion.

Theory and Pra ctice of a New Remedy
for the Ills of Indigestion.
This is one of the towns that has been
violently attacked by the Go-Without-
Your Breakfast Cure. The idea is not of
recent origin, but the gradual develop
ment of method evolved by the expert
ence. of thirty. years OF practice. of a
the state of Pennsylvania. Within the
last eight years the idea has spread rap
idly, and statistics show that 100000
persons have tested and become satisfied
of it's physiological benefits, SO it's devo-
tees say.
Indigestion is the cause of many all
ments Headaches, insomnia, eczema,
asthma, rheumatism, malaria and nerv-
Gus prostratiOn are some of them. which
it is claimed can be prevented, cured or
relieved by going without breakfast at
the time that meal is usually served.
The simple theory of the cure is as fol-
lows: During sleep the muscles Of the
stomach are resting. Gastric. juice, that
Indispensable element for digestion, is
not supplied then, nor is sufficient
quantity created in the stomach to di-
gest a meal until nearly noon, or, rather,
not until three or four hours after rising.
If breakfast is eaten it is merely rolled
around the stomach. Consequently the
stomach ferments and produces material
ture supplies only enough pepsin during
twenty-four hours for two meals day,
and noon and evening are the proper
times to eat. Accordingly, no breakfast
should be eaten.
Hunger and appetite are two different
sensations. Appetite can be INDUCED,
should eat when hungry and then a good
appetite will De enjoyed. The good re-
suits of this treatment are claimed to be
these: Your normal weight will be
gained; overfat people will lose their OPP
pressiye pounds. and the lean will take
on good flesh. The brain will be clearer,
the nerves steadier. the muscles stronger
and the spirits brighter. Brain work
ers and physical toilers will find that
they have uniformity of ability for ar
plication. 1t is a remedy which does
not need money or time, only some reso-
luton and courage to break up a habit.
ton, for as a usual thing one is not
hungry at breakfast time. If some in
convenience is experienced at first, the
feeling is simply the dying agonies Of a
bad habit Before condemning it, give
the cure trial during month. After
one week and sometimes sooner. it's fol-
lowers will feel themselves in better con.
dition for all kinds of work.
In towns and communities which have
been struck by the cure whole households
have abandoned the old style of break
fast as soon as the family is dressed,
and the Go-Without- our Breakfast cure
is declared to be the solution of the diet
problem. At any rate, this is what is
said by people who have tried the cure.
In Middletown, where the breakfast
cure is followed with enthusiasm. the

dent greet each other in the morning

Hardening by ExpOsnre.

Warmth is friendly to the human
family, and from what we observe in
the animal creation, it is equally so to
them. They are provided by nature
with the means of comfort, and guided
by unerring instinct to seek and pun sue
what is beneficial and avoid what would
be destructive. 1t is a noteworthy fact
that the children who are least exposed
to cold are generally most healthy,
while those who are victims to the er-
roneous principle of hardening by ex-
posure and cold baths are scarcely ever
free from disease. We earnestly believe
there are more children sacrificed than
are saved by being subjected to this fall
lacious treatment.-Good housekeeping.

newly-made paths and at length had la
bells placed to indicate where they might

attended to, but a hint from high quar-
ters that in future the walks of the
courtiers must be within the etiquettes,

keep within the etiquettes became the
correct thing. The meaning of the
phrase was afterward widened, and is

is necessary. A plant imparts an air Of
cheerfulness and daintiness which bic
a-brac is powerless to lend. It may be
an azalea and it may be nothing more
than pink geranium, but it is bound to
be attractive. Moreover, as plants thrive
on the gases that are hurtful to human
beings, it is not bad plan to have one
or two in a room to absorb those gases.
More than one or two are apt to make
the air damp.

markable how few women present a
good-looking back, straight and shape
ly, with snoulder-tips in line, elbows not
poking, hips even, and no protuberant
shoulder blades. One has SO many re-
