ELECTION IN CUBA YESTERDAY.
Generals Maso and Garcia pror,;,nt
Candidates for the Presidency.

Havana, September 2.-The INSURGENTS
will hold their elections for President of
the Cuban Republic today.

about 5000 men under arms, and are
possessed Of sufficient supplies to last
through the coming winter, should the
war continue.

awaiting 1.-THE action at Madrid of Gen.
Stewart l.. Woodford, theL United States
minister.
The general assembly of the Cuban Re
public is called at Jinaguaya. in the
state of Ca1naguey, known to the Span
iards as the province of Puerto Principe.
A month ago it was thought that
eight representatives would vote for
Gen. Calixto Garcia for President. EIGHT
for Gen. Bartholome Maso, while the
other votes would be divided between
Salvador Cisneros and Tomas Estrada
Palma, the latter the present Cuban dele
gate in the United States, with a posi-
bility that a compromise between the
partisans of Garcia and those of Maso
would lead to the election of Estrada
Palma. Later advices, however. state
that it is almost certain that Maso will be
the next President of the Republic. /

adding: sis it not notorious that the in

doubt Of their responsibility before the

we are suffering from? Spain, in asking
for damages on this account, only acts
within her rights based on justice and
the spirit Of neutrality which has not
been accorded us, although we have relig-

there is all the more reason that the Unit

LIVER CLOGGING.
WHEN YOUR STOMACH CLOGS YOUR
LIVER SEE TO YOUR DIGESTION.

Not one person in a thousand knows that the
cause Of biliousness is the clogging of the liver
by the posons of indigestion. Nor that the
only proper cure for it is a tonic to aid the
stomach. But modern medicine declares the
truth of It, And the Shakers have proved it by
the wonderful success Of their Shaker Dges-
tive Cordial.
One of the most important uses of the liver is
to arrest and destroy all poisons which try to
find their way into the blood. When it's
clogged, it can't do this.
Undigested food ferments and putrefes in
the stomach, and the poisons Of putrefaction
clog and paralyze the liver after which they
find their way into the blood.
Here is the true explanation of all the dis
tressing disorders and complications caused by
indigestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is the only tonic
cordial which aids the stomach in natural
way to digest its food. By this MEANS it cures
indigestion, restores the liver, and frees tthe
body from poison and disease.
Headache, dizziness, neuralgia, mental de-
preston, weakness bad taste, fever flat,llence,
constipation, loss of appetite, an3mia, rheuma-
tlSn, and many other disorders are relieved
and curedby the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
