liberal allowances for possible votes in
unorganized counties and a few remote

has between 900 and 500 majority. Even
should unreported districts cast a pro-

KEY WEST, July co. THE Spaniardi
under General Suarez Inolan have sus
tained crushing defeat at the hands OF

fonly was Inolan's column defeated with
heavy loss, but 1t is currently reported in
Havana that the Spanish general himself
was captured and rs nowAeld as prisoner
by Maceo s4..l.. 1af-
The battle is said to have occurred on
July 10 near Maoeo's stronghold, In the
prOvince Of Pinar del Rio. Forsthe last two
weeks the insurgents have been very az
gressive, and small parties have repeatedly
attacked the trocha, causing the Spaniards
much annoyance General Inclan was or
dered to drive back these detached bands
of insurgents and for this purpose took
with him 1000 men. Maceo seems to
have expected suoh a movement and ar
ranged to ambuSk the Spaniards. He sta
tioned a large force In a favorable position
and ordered his detached bands Go draw
Inclan into tho trap The Spaniards fol-
lowed the insurgent skirmishers inoau-
tionsiy and fell into the ambush.
Then the Cubans opened fire from all
sides which threw the Spaniards into con.
fusion. While the Spaniards were thus
disordered the Cubans charged, complete.
ly routing their foes.
General Inclan made a desperate effort
to rally his demoralized forces, but was
surrounded by the Cubans and compelled
TO surrender
1t is said In Havana that the Spaniards
were pursued almost to the trocha and lost
more than 800 men killed and wounded.
There were II officers among the killed.
Cubans here also say that Maceo will hold
Inolan as hostage to save the lives OF
prominent insurgent officers who have
been captured by the Spaniards. One OF
these officers is Oapote. II this insurgent
leader Is shot by the Spanish, It is said,
lncian will meet the same fate at the
hands Of Maceo.

FREE CURES,
A Multitude of ePople Cured OF Chronic
Catarrh by Dr. Hartman's Free
Home Treatment.

If Pe-ru-na will cure a case of catarrh
of twenty years standing, it surely ought
to cure more recent cases. We receive
many letters in which people declare they
have been cured of catarrh that has de-
fed all treatment anywhere from ten to
thirty years. These people have no mo-
tive whatever for writing these letters,
except gratitude. They receive no pay
before or after writing such letter. We
we give any reward. Our testimonials
are far too numerous for publication, ev-
en- among those who would be perfectly
willing for us to do so. The fact is,
that DR.. Hartman's free treatment is cur
ing thousands of people. The follow
ing is specimen of the letters we re-
ceive:
II. w. Hopkins, Ironton, Ohio. writes
ALLOW me to say a word for Pe-ru-na.
For twenty years | was afflicted with
catarrh; at times / was offensive that
my little children would complain of it.
tried patent medicines of all kinds,
ceived no relief. Finally, after reading
about Pe-ru-na, l concluded to give it a
trial. Like others, / had no faith in it;
but after taking one bottle l was entire
ly relieved. Two and half bottles gave
me n permanent cure. Three years
have now passed and no symptoms of
any return. You may use this as you
desire for the ben6t of those suffering
with this terrible disease"
An instructively illustrated 64-pagc
book on catarrhal diseases will be sent
free to any address for short time by

recently written by DR.. Hartman and is
