THE WARFARE IN CUBA.
SPANS Extraordinary Efforts to
End the Conflict,
TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND TROOPS

I'm Route from Spain TO Assist In the Mini.
tary Operations Which We're Beguu
Early in October "with Greater Energy
Than Ever Before"
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Ihe renewed
reports chat the United States was about
o. intervene in the Cuban conflict are not
confirmed i'm official quarters, nor Is there
any evidence to indicate that at the pres
ent time the United States has undor con-
sidoraton any change in its policy
The only available information rcachina
here is that the Spanish military opera.
tions begun early in October are about to
go forward with greater energy than at
any previous time. Important results arc
expected from this forward movement
within the next three weeks. There ara
now 25OOO more Spanish troops en- route
for Cuba. They will he distributed in tho
western provinces IL Is expected that
with these additional troops In position
the four western provinces will be com.
plctely garrisoned and occupied at every
point by the government troops.
The lull in operations within the last
few days is explained by circumstance
not yet known. Tho insurgent leader
Maceo moved TO the coast for the purpose
of receiving n pneumatic dynamite gun
which had been landed with great dini-
Guilty. The reports reaching here show
that the trials of the gun failed to show it
to be formidable, the shot carrying only
500 yards or less than the distance Carried
by rifles. Under tho circumstances Maceu
has retraced his steps without tho dyna-
mite gun.
Meanwhile the Spanish forces have been
divided into two main divisions, one i'm
the south and the other i'm the north of
the island. The main purpose of the troops
has been TO occupy the mountain passes.
and this has proceeded So rapidly that it
is assorted here positively that every app
proach and egress to the mountain recess
is now commanded by heavy force of
Spanish troops. This plan of campaign is
relied ON to force the Insurgents TO hgh.
In the open country.
The civil affairs of Cuba also have un-
dergune % change within recent days. BY
agreement between the leader. of tho Lib
erul, Conservative and Homo Bule PARTIES
constituting all the loyal elements, they
have been merged into one party known
rs the party OF common defense The
main feature of agreement is the terminu-
tion Of the rebellion before any plan of
autonomy shall be put into operation.

Many young women wonder why

Houck' ''kennett' road was thrown
into the hands of Il receiver. Col
FOrdyce. President of the Cotton Belt

tured outstanding Indebtedness. its
bonded interest is paid. it is an alb
solutely solvent corporation and is Il
splendid paying property. No notice
was given Mr.. HoUck of the intended
application for the appointment of a
recci ser and the first he knew Of il was
when Col. Fordyce arrived on the
scene in his special car with the papers
appointing him in his pocket. Judge
Wear is the last man in the world
who should take official action in q
matter like this. atiidavits being now
on file in his court in other cases dis
qualifying him from trying any suits
dyce is equally disqualified to act as
receiver because he i President Of

Kennel road has been hauling business
from Campbell. a point on the Cotton

with the Cotton Belt and has also by
means of the extension of the road to
Caruthersvillc been able to make
through rates from st. Louis much
lower than via the Cotton Belt-Iron
Mountain route thereby greatly
beneiitting the people in the lower
part of the State and infiicting con-
siderable loss on the Gould lines.
The conviction is forced upon our
mind that this is another move on the
part of the Gould crowd to break
down Mr.. Houck and drive him out
of the business of transportation in
this portion of the State and intimi-
uate all others IRON attempting TO
build any other railroad in this sec
ton. 1t is to be hoped that such Il
result can not be obtained under the
forms of law because if such is the
case we have a despotism here in com

Russia is the widest dream of lib

was made was instituted
in the name of one \. J. Kerfoot. a

NEW CONSUMPTION CURE.

Through IL I ube.

ELGIN. ILL.,. April g.-Dr. ". \.
Shepard announces scientific and
complete solution of the CONSUMPTION
problem. 1t is the result of six wears
OF determined and patient researches
in his laboratory here. Dr.. Shepard
concluded early in his career to de-
vote his life TO the work of finding
some method by which the fatal germs
could be conquered. His findings
We're laboratory secrets until I0G cases
We're secured as evidence
DR.. Shepard spent two years elab-
Grating an instrument. He took the
ordinary spiromcter and added to it.
The patient breathes the medicated
air through Il tube and cxhales il into
the same receptacle. This process
purges the cells. which :have become
idle from disuse. and builds up the
good ones in the same way that cNer-
else adds to tie muscular tissue. The
Doctor makes no claims OF doing
anything strange or mysterious. or
operating lungs where there are none.
His theory is that halfa lang with It's
capacity judiciously exercised is as
good as Il whole one. DR.. Shepard
says OF his discovery:
II have solved the problem of CON
sumption. The laboratory record
proves that during the four years Of
experiments every case in the first
stage was cured: 50 per cent of those
in the second stage are living Witness
es. and several in the last stage and
ready to die are now safe and sound
