When person is losing flesh and vast
ing away there is cause for alarm. Nothing
SO worries a physician. Consumptives
would never die if they could regain their
usual weight. In fact there would be no
consumption if there was no wasting OF
the system. The cause of this loss of flesh
is a failure to properly digest the food
eaten. Nine-tenths of all our diseases date
back to arrangement Of the stomach.
The Shakers Digestive Cordial will stop
this wasting of the body. 1t acts by eaus-
ing the food we eat to be digested so as TO
do good, for undigested food does more
harm than good. the Cordial contains food
already digested and is a digester OF foods

NEW YORK. Jan. "a copyrighted
dispatch to the World from Havana.
via Tampa, January s, says; An intrigue
Is on foot here against General Weyler
as year ago there was an intrigue
against Gen. Martinez campos. and
that hne old gentleman was compelled
TO retire from Cuba, The leaders Of
the Union Constitutional party (the
Spanish CouservattVesl whose policy
has always been that OF rule or ruin nt
that time finding that General CnmpOs
was disposed to rec0gnlEa others thaD
themselves, plotted against him IN
Spain US well as in Cuba. aud the hon-
est, sincere and chivalrous gentleman
was forced to retlre.
Already some OF the same men who
led the movement against Campos are
engaged In the same kind Of plotting
against General Weyler,
The Marquis dc Apez Teguia is the
official leader 0f the Conservative party.
He Is a Cuban, but he Outdoes the most
pronounced Spaniard IN his conserva-
tlsm
He is the managing director of a
great sugar estate near Cienfuegos that
is owned by q company controlled by
the Welsh brothers, OF New York.
De ApeL lGEull ana others ul us lin
have done much 10 create the conditions
which led to the present rebellion. He
is execrated by the insurgent leaders.
Gomez tried 10 destroy the COnstan-
sia sugar estate, but the Apez Teguia
placed private armed guard OF 500
men on the property, which ne now
maintains.
Weyler has forbidden the grinding OF
cane and sugar making as military
measure and thus he has run up against
the interests Of the marquis.
The latter does not dare openly TO an
tagOnlze the captain general. A cell IN
Cabanas would very likely be the fate
OF anyone who attempted to do towards
Weyler what was done with impunlty
towards Marshal CampOs.
The plotting Is conducted with cGu>
t!on and great secrecy. De Apez Te-
Euia recently announced In the press
that he win sail for Spain January 10.
This movement IS regarded as being In
tended to show Weyler that he pro-
posed 70 make his fight al Madrid.
There are unmlstakable indications
chat Weyler's Official term Will soon
end. Private intelligence shows that a
crisis may be preclpltated any day.
The death OF Maceo tidsd over crisis
that was then pending and which may
again arise. He Is in a quarrel WIN
the representatives. OF powerful Madrid
newspapers who are boldly critlcizlnS
some Of his executive acts.
Ii Is not n question " the rebellion,
but a side issue arising out OF the ad-
minlstratlon OF the army.
