When man wakes up at night with the
idea that he is falling down, down, down
from a great height-when he imagines in
his sleep that he has lost his breath AID
can't catch it again-when he losses and
tumbles all night and can't sleep-when
mis- mouth tastes bad in the morning and
food is repugnant-death is his bedfellow.
These troubles may be trifles in themselves,
but they are the skirmishers and sharp
shooters that march in advance of the great
army of death dealing disease
When a man experiences these sensations
and feels generally out-of-sorts, there is but
one safe thing to do. That is, resort to the
right remedy DR.. Pierce's Golden Med

MANIFESTO FROM D0NS
POSITION OF SPANISH LIBERALS ON
THE CUBAN QUESTION.
They VIII Not Accept the Duke of
Tetuan as Cabinet Premier-Gen-
eral WeyIer Must Go.

LONDON, June 22.-The Madrid cor
| Spanish Liberals have adopted an attitude
which will probably create a profound SEN
sation both here and in the United States
but which is little calculated to improve
the situation. AT meeting of ex-ministers
of the Liberal party on Sunday Senior Sa-
gasta made an energetic speech denouncing
the home and foreign policy of the premier
and his conduct during the recent crisis,
which Sagasta insisted, had led the people
to criticise the decision of the crown. The
meeting resolved to issue a manifesto de-
claring that the Liberals would persist in
abstaining from all relations with the gov
eminent so long as the Duke of Tetuan is
retained in the Cabinet The manifesto will
also assert that the Liberals were the
authors of the first colonial reform scheme
in 1894, but curtailed it in 1895 in order to
obtain the support of the Conservatives.
The manifesto will characterize the pro-
posed reforms of CanoVas as inadequate,
and suggest the replacement OF Captain
General Weyler by a Governor who Will
lied practices; the stopping of the reign of
terror and devastation of property in Cuba,
and the appointment Of a civilian as royal
commissioner with full powers, distinct
from the military authorities to execute re-
forms of the widest autonomy in political,
administrative, economical, tariff and legis-
latiVe matters compatible with the preSer-
walton of the imperial sovereignty. The
manifesto will promise to go very far in
the direction of a sacrifice of Spanish
commercial interests and of sharing the
burden of colonial war debts in order to
secure peace.

COSTS TO DE coMMoDoRE.
EIbridge II. Gerry, of the N. v. y. G.,
spent $4,000 a Yenr at 1t.
New York prnss

NEW IOTb FTSSS.
1t has been the ambition of all yachts
men belonging TO he New York Yacht Club
TO become the commodore of that club. To.
be the commodore OF the New York Yacht
attaches to him ever afterward For in
stance. in the office of the Herald Mr.. Ben
nett is always spoken Of as the "Commo-
Gore Nine people out of ten speak of Eli
bridge t. Gerry as Commodore Gerry.
The fact that his grandfather was one of
the signers of the Declaration of lndepend-
ence, that his uncle was one of the richest
men the world ever saw counts for nothing.
He is Commodore Gerry to the public.
John {. Stevens was the first commodore
of the New York Yacht Club He was
elected in 1874 on board the yacht limerick.
mer morning OF that year James Gordon
Bennett, sixth commodore of the club, was
elected at meeting on board the schooner
yacht Dauntess, lying in New London har-
Dor. That meeting is now historical in the
annals of the club, not only for the peculiar
circumstances under which il was held. but
also because of the commodore it gave
the club, man who put his energies and
intellect into the work of making the New
this side of the water.
1t was the reign of Elbridge It. Gerry.
however, that set the pace, for lavish out
lay. While he was commodore the Electra
was a ship flowing with milk and honey.
He insisted on the utmost formality in
the dress and official department of his
officers, and spent $4,000 il year in keeping
up the general "swaggernessF of his boat.
On one occasion when the Electra was ly-
grand luncheon at which was served a
roast peacock, the first peacock that had
been served in the United States since the
days of Mrs. Coventry Waddeli. AT II 80
in the forenoon on board of the Electra a
solemn steward used to come around with
a tray of champagne cocktails 1t was
seven bells, and at that hour, and not be-
fore the commodore expected every man
to take a drink. When Mr.. Gerry went out
of the commodore business he was sue
ceeded by E. d. Morgan, who ran his boat
on a more economical basis. Then came
Commodore Brown. Mr.. Brown was a.
pigmy compared with his two predecessors
in a financial way. But he made good
enough commodore. His only real mistake
was in buying English boat. The old
Fadalma, in which he cruised about before
he was commodore, was a comfortable
boat. The Sylvia, which he bought in Eng
land. was a most uncomfortable boat, and
is now for sale. But now the commodore
of the New York Yacht Club is again
man of great financial resources, none other
than the Scottish baron, our old friend.
DIR. Morgan. If the glories of the Gerry
regime are not outdone this year. 1T will not
be because the commodore has not enough
money to serve roast peacocks.

NOT A PROMISED LAND
LIBERIA DENOUNCED BY C0LONIsTs
WHO HAVE RETURNED.
Arrival at New York of Thirteen Col
ored People Who Went to Africa
in 1S9G-Many Deaths.

NEW YORK. June H.-Thirteen colored
persons who formed part of the 200 sent to
Liberia by the International Emigration
Society in March 1896. arrived in this port
to-day aboard the steamship Liberia. They
say that the scheme has been a total fail
ure; that many of their number died of
starvation and fevers; that the society did
not fulfill the contract, and many members
of the expedition are stranded in England
unable to get back to their homes.
The plan of the African colonization
scheme originated early in 1894, in the
mind of Bishop Turner, who was travelling
in the South. 1t was formulated and car
ried into effect by Jere Mcmillan a white
man of Birmingham. Ala, who founded
what was known as the International Emf
grafton Society. The advance guard, in
charge of d. l.. Johnson, of Hot Springs
Ark, in November, 1894, started for Lii
IBERIA. With him was a committee to
make arrangements for the colonists. The
first large party of colonists, numbering
200. left savannah, Ga, in March, 1895, for
their new home and after that several
smaller parties joined them Twenty-Five
acres of land for each adult and ten acres
for each child was promised, and on land
ing each person was to be provided with a
barrel of Hour two barrels of meat guam
tity of sugar and a complete set of farm
ing implements. ID. *. FIammer, president
of the society, accompanied the emigrants.
According TO the stories told by those
who have returned to-day, when they land
ed in Liberia Flammer deserted them, tax
ing whatever was provided for them eX-
cept the land, which they found thirty
five miles from any town, and which was
incapable of growing anything but coffee.
Even to grow this successfully would take
four to six years Charles Peterson, of
Madison, Ark, with his wife and
turned to-day. He says that he
lost all he had in going over and
was nearly dead of starvation before he
could raise enough'money to return. Charles
Moore, whose family lives in Mississippi,
said the emigrants could find nothing to do.
The natives, who wore no clothes, and
could live on little or nothing, did all the
work for starvation wages. The thirteen
persons had not as many cents among them
on their arrival and they had no idea where
they Were to pass the night.

age and became famous through being the
first man subjected to the boycott in Ire

lords, notably the Earl of Erne. In 1880 Mr..
Parnell made a speech, in the course of
which he urged the people of Ireland to
abstain from agrarian crimes and to adopt
instead a policy OF sending harsh landlords,
