Spain Advised to Declare
War Upon America. ..-.,..
-g<1lsl - Al Il - II
BITTER NEWSPAPER COMMENT
A Correspondent Thinks This Country
should Be HumiIiated-wey
ler's Late Proclamation.

New YoRK, May ia special to the
Herald, from Havana, says:
La Correspondence Militaire, in a
leading article, urges an immediate dec
laration of war by Spain against the
United States.
The writer processes his belief, that
when the first cannon was fred the
Southern states would again withdraw
and preserve neutrality and Mexico
would invade the country, to recover it's
lost territory in the West, and thus in
sure the quick dismemberment and last
ing humiliation of the great republic.
Captain General Weyler, in extending
his proclamation of amnesty, says;
81 am determined to show as much
generosity toward these rebels who re-
pent and surrender their arms and re-
swear their allegiance to the govern
ment, as have already displayed energy
and frmness in dealing with those who
have persisted in disloyalty to the
crown"
Senior Corro, mayor of Barracoa,
where the filibuster Competitor was.
captured, is in Havana, and had long
conference with the captain-general.
Mayor Corro says the Competitor party
disembarked in a small zinc boat, let
tered ''S..T. R.. on Shelter island No. 4.
It was he who discovered, partially con-
cealed on the beach, the II boxes of car
tridges heretofore announced as captured
by the government.
The Havana press re-echoes the cabled
opinions of Madrid journals, urging the
Spanish government to abrogate the ex-
listing treaty and protocol with the
United States.
Owing to the growing scarcity of
horses IN the central provinces, Maxine
Gomez, on his present counter-march
westward, has been compelled to dis
mount several thousand of the rebel
cavalrymen and re-organize them as in
fantry.
The insurgent forces in the burned
districts in Santa Clara and Matanzas,
are also beginning to feel the dearth of
cattle and forage. Two hundred refu-
gees and families left homeless by the
insurgents torches, reached the govern
ment post in Bahia Honda, Pinar del
Rio, Thursday night, seeking food and
temporary shelter. The authorities are
providing for them as far as possible.

A strong statement.

If you are not used to smoking clear
Havana cigars, you may not like the
Regulator. If so 1 cannot help it. 1
cannot improve on this brand as am
now using the finest imported stock
possible to Obtain. Something cheaper
might suit some tastes. You need not
look for anything better, for there is no
finer stock grolDn anywhere IN the Enorn
t0orId than that used IN the Regulator
cigar. Here is the formula:
Filters = Vuelta Abajo Havana, at
$1.25 pound.
Wrappers-Delhi Langskaat Sumatra,
at 81 pound.
I am willing to stake my future repu-
tation on the truth of this statement.
o. A. PETERSON.
NoTE-In connection with the above
statement, desire to explain that it is
i'm possible to put more than 10 cents
value into any reasonable size cigar, be-
cause no tobacco in the world is worth
more. Whenever a brand is sold for
more than $50 per thousand at whole
sale, it is simply fancy price and moth
ing more. Sumatra tobacco is never
used for filler, but as a wrapper its.ands
alone as the only perfect wrapper, on
account of its superior burn and pleasing
appearance. The import duty on this
leaf is 81 pound, but still We nave to
use it on fine goods, as there is no do
mestic substitute o. A.P.

THE GOLD RESERVE.
Decreasing at the Rate of Almost On
Million Dollars Daily.

Decreasing at the Rate of Almost One
Million Dollars Daily.
CuIcAGo,. May 15.-A Chronicle spe-
cial from Washington says:
May 1st the gold reserve in the treas
ury stood at $l25 600, 900; today it is a
trifle over $1I4, 600, 900. In twelve work
ing days $1l .OOo, 900 in gold has been
taken from the treasury, and there Is
not, it is said, the slightest indication of
any abatement in the export of the yell
low metal.
The last payments of the recent popu-
lar loan have been made, and the gold
reserve can therefore expect no accre-
tions other than those which will come
to it in the ordinary way.
While the Withdrawals of gold are not
enough to be positive menace, they
are causing anxiety to the treasury Off
cials. If there is anything like steady
increase in the Withdrawals, it is said
that Mr.. Cleveland will make an effort
to secure legislation to check it.
Congress expects to adjourn some time
between June I'd and 10th. There is
long stretch between that date and the
first Monday in December, in which the
president would have to act without the
aid of congress, should the conditions of
last fall be duplicated. The admins
tration has been for some time consid-
ering the possibility of just such situa-
tion developing after the adjournment
of congress.
Should circumstances warrant, it is
said the president will send message to
congress on the eve of adjournment, in
sisting that congress furnish some
measure of relief to the treasury be-
fore adjournment.

- cheted by Insurgents.
New YORK, May 15.-The Herald's
correspondent in Puerto Principe, Cuba,
reports that the Spanish column of 1900
men which left that city April 26, under
command of General Imenez Catlellanos,
governor of the province, has not yet re-
turned, being still in pursuit of the
rebels, with whom it has had several en-
gagements. 1t is reported that Cattel-
lanes' force has suffered heavy losses
and that an entire company was ma
cheted by insurgents under Rabi.
The insurgent president, Cisneros, and
Secretary of War, Rolof, are still in that
province, where Calixto Garcia, escorted
by Jose Maceo's forces, is momentarily
expected from the Orient.
The large number of desertions from
the Spanish ranks is alarming the au-
thorities. The entire garrison in Giban-
leu has been relieved, by order of the
governor, who accidentally discovered a
conspiracy to go over to the rebels in a
body. The captain and lieutenants were
placed under arrest. while the corporal
and private were publicly shot two

Our little baby of two months was badly
afflicted with Eczema. II began when she
was three weeks old, and in spite of all our
skill and that of two good physicians, she
continued to grow worse. Her head, arms,
neck, and limbs, and, in fact, nearly every
joint in her body, were raw am bleeding when
we concluded to try CUTICURA REMEDIES.
The child being so small and delicate, we
began with CUTIcURA (oiatmcnt), and CUT1-
cURA SOAR, according to directions, and .clJteT
the first application could see change
When we had used the remedies one week
she was very much better, some of the sores
had healed entirely and had ceased TO spread.
After using them for less than a month, the
child was free from scales and blen.,shes, and
to-day has as lovely skin and hair as any
child. She w.s1 shown at the Grange Fair
when four and a half months Old, and took
the premium of silver. cup, as the prettiest
baby, over sixteen others. We recommend
CUTICURA REMEDIES to all our fr.erds, and
cannot praise them TOO highly.

A Mechanical Horror.

Machinery is monthly journal pub
lished at Johannesburg, South Africa.
In a recent number is an account of a
most remarkable clock, belonging to a
Hindoo prince, which the editor thinks
the strangest piece Of machinery in
India. Near the dial of an ordinary
looking clock is large gong hung on
the poles, while underneath scattered
on the ground is pile OF artificial
human skulls, ribs, legs, and arms, the
whole number OF bones in the pile be-
| ing equal to the number of bones in
twelve human skeletons. When the
hands of the clock indicate the hour oi
II, the number of bones needed te
form a complete human skeleton come
together with a snap; by some mechan
ical contrivance the skeleton springs up
seizes mallet, and walking up to tn,
gong, strikes one blow. This finished

pieces. When . o'clock, two skeleton
get up and strike, while at the hour
of noon ard midnight the entire heal
spring up in the shape of twelve skele
tons and strike, each one after tn
other, blow on the gong and then fal
to pieces, as before.
