But if the war is brought to an end
early we will pay whatever sum-let us

1t would be fair. If we took control of
Cuba now, Spain would have to turn over
to US many magnificent forts, public build

CSVGI. FullY OnG-S1xIn
of all the deaths that occur in the world are
caused by consumption. And consumption
can be cured. Doctors used to say that it
was incurable, but the doctors were merely
mistaken. 1t would be strange if medical
science did not make some progress Many
things were once considered impossible
The ocean steamer, the locomotive the
telegraph and telephone, the phonograph,
the electric light-al1 these were once i'm
possible, and once it was impossible to cure
consumption. That was before the time
of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
Taken according to directions, this standard
remedy will cure oS per cent. of all cases of
consumption. Consumption is disease of
the blood. 1t used to be considered dis
ease by itself. 1t is not. 1t is caused and
fostered by inpurity in the blood Purify
the blood and restore the healthy action to
the various organs of the body and con-
sumption will be cured. 1t is by weakness
and loss OF vitality in the blood. It is cured
by purity and richness of the blood-surely
certainly cured. Those who have consump-
ton or any lingering bronchial, throat or
lung disease, and those who are on the road
to them, have a positive remedy at hand
Any condition of the body that indicates
weakness, any indication of impurity in the
blood, should be attended to at once. Loss
of appetite, loss of flesh, loss of vitality,
nervousness, weakness and unnatural wear
mess, are indications that the body is run
ming down. DR.. Pierce'S Golden Medical
Discovery makes the appetite good, the di-
gestion strong. If builds up solid, healthy
flesh and vigorous strength. Thousands of
people have testified that it has really saved
their lives Some of these testimonials,
together with hundreds of things that ev-
eTybody ought to know about health and
sickness and medicine. have been embod-

PROPOSAL TO SPAIN.
Secretary OLney Takes ActiOn in the
Interests of Cuba.

Interests of Cuba.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 19.-The Her
aid will say tomorrow morning: Informa-
ton of a very startling character has
reached the Cuban sympathizers in this
city, who are in closest touch with the
revolutionary Junta, whence the informa-
tion comes.
1t is to the effect. as alleged, that Presi-
dent Cleveland authorized Secretary Olney
two or three days ago to send note to the
American Minister at Madrid, by which
Mr.. Taylor, the present Incumbent, is in
structed to present to the Spanish Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs, a communication
which accompanied the note and which
contained proposition upon the Cuban
question.
This proposition is, as alleged, that
Spain at the earliest opportunity with
draw her troops from Cuba; that the
Spanish throne recognize the absolute in
dependence of Cuba and its existence as a
republic; that the Spanish Government
accept from Cuba certain sum of money
as indemnity; that Spain accept the guar
antee of the United States that Cuba will
fulfill her obligations.
1t is said by those close to the Junta that
this communication was distinctly framed
as friendly proposition, and that it went
on to say that if Spain did not accept this
suggestion in the interest of peace the
United States would ignore the re-
peated assurances of her trusted rep
resentatives in Cuba that no danger
threatened the property of her citizens
who reside in that country, and the lives
of Americans who live in the island, in
view of the late occurrences in Santiago,
Puerta Principe and Havana, and would
dispatch warships 10 Cuba to safeguard
Americans, thing which the admlnistra-
tion had refrained from doing on account
of its implicit confidence in the good will
and esteem of the Spanish Government.
b The communication is alleged as having
been shorn of everything that could bear
the slightest semblance to a threat or i'm
piled coercion. Nevertheless, the re-
ported reference as to doubt about the Sc
curity of Americans in Cuba, should
Spain refuse these alleged good offices OF
the United States, and the positive as
surances of American warships being sent
into Cuban waters, are said to have been
couched in firm language.
1t is stated that there was no attempt to
disguise the attitude of the United States,
and that in the construction of the COM
munication the opportunity was taken to
explain that 1t was extremely possible

BE Learned.

BE Learned.
DENVER, CoLo., Jan. 19. = Father
Thomas E. Sherman, son of the late Gen
eral w. T. Sherman, who is engaged in
mission work in Denver, to-day received
from James L. Houghteling of the
Chicago firm of Peabody g. Houghteling
telegram to the effect that the trial of
John Hays Hammond for high treason
will occur at johannesburg tomorrow,
and urging him to use his influence to
avert the heavy penalty that is likely to
follow Hammond's conviction.
Father sherman and Mr.. Houghteling
were classmates of Hammond in Yale.
Father Sherman at once wired an appeal
to his uncle, Senator Sherman, and to Gen
eral Miles, who IS also a relative, to use
their influence with the administration to
interfere in Hammond's behalf.

BUDDs MESSAGE DELIVERED.
Assurances Given That Everything
Possible Will Be Done to Secure
Justice for Americans,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 19.-Private
Secretary Thurber said tonight: "Gov-
ernor 8udds telegram requesting protec-
ton for Americans arrested in the Trans
vaal was received by the President. 1t
was delivered to him through Assistant
Secretary Pruden, hence did not know of
its arrival last night"
Secretary Olney said to a CALL CORE
spondent: 1--WE have as yet received no
definite information from South Africa.
In response to appeals from Senators Per-
kins and White, Governor Budd and other
Californians, as well as from friends of the
other imprisoned Americans, we have in
structed our agents TO do everything in
their power to secure full measure of
Justice for Americans. l have received
assurances that Great Britain's representa-
tiyes will act jointly with our own Consuls
in protecting the interests of all the i'm
prisoned men"
sit is very strange" said Senator Per-
kins, "that the American Consuls do not
send reports to the State Department. 1
told Mr.. Olney that [ was engaged in the
ocean-carrying business and that if any of
our agents abroad should be as dilatory as
the American Consuls have been in
answering cable messages we would con-
slider it just ground for a reprimand.
believe that the State Department here
has done and is doing everything possible,
and have no complaint to make, except
one criticism I might offer, however. !
think it unfortunate that we have had to
call on Great Britain's agents in South
Africa to assist us in this matter. Our
Consuls abroad should be men of sufficient
good standing in the diplomatic world to
protect Americans abroad without our
having to call to other nations repre-

STRENGTH OF THE GUARD.

Ad5utant- General BGrrett Speaks of Calf
fornia's Military Force.
The orders to prepare State forces for
readiness, presumably to resist the acauisi-
tion of Cuba by England, have. it is be-
lieved, been issued only to southern At
lantic Coast Governors at present, as their
militia would be the first to be called into
action.
Thus Florida, being contiguous to Cuba,
was the first to be called into readiness.
Should the outlook grow more threaten
ing the entire militia of the United States
may be expected to be put upon a war
footing within the next few days.

speaking of the efficiency of the National
Guard of the State, said:

GENERAL GARoIA,s PLANS.


WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. 19.-Gen-
eral Calisto Garcia, who commanded the
Cuban revolutionists in their last war,
from 1868 TO 1878, is in this city conferring
with the Cuban delegates, Palma and
Quesada, upon the Inauguration of new
matters concerning the insurgent policy,
which are expected to give decided i'm
petus to that cause. II is the impression
that General Garcia will again become
active in the military movements of the
revolutionists, but nothing definite as to
his course is yet determined.

Newport, Ky, June 12-At a quarter

closed its testimony in the case of Alon-

OF Pearl Bryan. AS the main point Of
attack by the defense was against the
truth Of the story of George II. Jack
son, the colored cabman, who testified
that he drove the murderers and their
victim to the scene of the ira gedy on
the night of the murder, so the first work
of the prosecution in rebuttal today
