 If dyspepsia and bi!iousness or censtipa- ton is the way he got into disease, he has got to overcome just those troubles before he can get out.
 The maj jority of diseases begin with some trouble of the digestive organs or of the liver, which prevents the supply of proper nourishment to the system The best remedy for these troubles is Dr. Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery, because it gives the digestive and blood making organs power to assitnilate food and transform it into pure, nourishing blood, vitalized with an abundance of red corpuscles.
 It acts directly upon the liver and gives it capacity to filter all bilious impurities out of the circulation. It builds up solid, muscular flesh and healthy nerve force.

 to the Title.


 to the Title.
 London, Jan. 25.-The fight between Pedlar Palmer and Ernie Stanton took place tonight before the National Sporting club and resulted in victory for Palmer in the fifteenth round. The men fought at 117 pounds for stake of 9300 a side and purse of e50O giv- en by the club. Both are Englishmen. In October last Palmer defeated John nie Murphy of Boston in fight for the bantamweight championship of the world, the Englishman being awarded the battle on points at the end of the twentieth round. In the fight tonight Palmer was the favorite in the bet ting, odds of to being laid on him.
 Both men were in splendid, condition. Palmer led the fighting from the start and his superior skill was immediately apparent. In the first he landed three times on Stanton's face, and in the third round drove blow home on his nose, causing it to bleed. Palmer's smartness enabled him to avoid the blows aimed at him by his opponent, while at the same time he delivered his own blows freely. Stanton's strength enabled him to take the pun ishment Palmer administered to him. but he did not land single clean blow for six rounds
 The fight was in Palmer's hands throughout, and at the end of the tenth round the spectators saw that Stanton had no chance of winning on his mer- it's. The odds in favor of Palmer had, at the end of the tenth round, risen to 4 to
 In the fifteenth round Palmer knock ed Stanton down twice, whereupon the referee stopped the fight and declared Palmer the winner

ITS OATS ARE NUMBERED
Says MT. Dubosc of the Spanish Legation
 Concerning the Cuban Tn Surracti0n

Says MT. Dub0sc of the Spanish Legation
 Concerning the Cuban Tn urrection.
 Washington, Jan. 25-"The most inn portant news yet received from Cuba" said MT. Dubosc. the first secretary of the Spanish legation, to-day reached us by cable from Madrid last night. It is a telegram from the minister of for eign affairs, the Duke of Tetuan, en1- bodying the material points of dis patch sent to him by the captain gem eral at Havana. The dukes dispatch reads as follows:
 General Weyler, at the head of fourteen battalions, has traversed the provinces of Havana and Matanzas, compelling the principal rebel chiefs to fly to Las Villas, abandoning their horses in the river Hanabana, many of the fugitives perishing in Maritimas. Weyler considers that in Havana and Matanzas there are no longer any great organized bands to disperse, and that both provinces may be considered all most entirely pacified. The sugar prop critics in the rear of the troops have all ready begun to grind
 This information, aside from the fact that it comes from the minister of foreign affairs, has been confirmed from several sources and may be relied upon as being entirely correct.
 General Weyler started on his pres- ent trip about eight days ago. The province of Pinar del Rio has been un- der practical subjection ever since the death of Maceo; the only revolutionists now there are a few scattered guerilla bands. The province of Santa Clara can hardly be said to have ever been in revolt, and as a result we now have four provinces in which there is little if any disturbance. When the new re- forms for Cuba are promulgated, as they probably will be within the next fortnight they will be put into effect in all the six provinces in Cuba as soon as the machinery for taking the cen- sus, which is a condition precedent to the reforms, can be established. You ask if the Cubans are ready for these new measures? I have no hesitancy in replying in the affirmative.
 "The only people who oppose the re- forms and desire a continuation of the war are the patriots in New York. The rebels in Cuba are anxious for peace. In my opinion the days of the insurrec- tion are numbered

DESTRUCTION IN HIS PATH.
WEYLER BURNS AND DESTR0Ys as HE MARCHES I'll HkOUGH CURd.

 Planters Grinding Cane Against the
 Spanish Generals Orders-The Latter
 Afraid to Penetrate the Unexplored Re-
 gions-A Reign of Fear Inauguratcd.
 Key West, Fla, Jan 25.-Advices from Havana say that a conflict be- tween the sugar planters and WeyIer continues with more bitterness than ever. Weyler is trying to prevent the planters from grinding, but without stating 1t officially. and the planters are boldly initiating their crop. At present only about dozen sugar es- tates are grinding in the several prov inces of the island, but many others are making preparations therefor. Weyler, It is declared, has given orders to troops to burn all the cane fields on their march.
 Weyler continues on his march with out deviating from the highways and railroad lines. Despite the strong col umn marching with him he apparently fears to enter the unexplored regions As he burns and destroys everything ln his passage he illulninates his way and rebels can easily avoid any en- counter with his solid column
 The arrests and killing of the unfor- tunate citizens of Guanabacoa continue and as Fordeviela has prohibited their removal to Havana or other places their situation can be easily under stood. Persons who have visited the town say it presents shocking ap- pearance. All the houses are closed: ladies fear to look out of the windows as the soldiers will surely insult them: few citizens walk around the streets; only armed soldiers, soiled and repul- sive, are to be seen.
 Rumors of landing of expeditions have been afloa.t in Havana for a few days. One is said to have landed in Pinar del Rio and the other around Manzanillo. The exact location has not been ascertained.
 The forces under Weyler's command number 14,000 infantry, a cavalry regi- ment and 22 pieces of artillery.

STABBING ON LIFIYETTE PLACE. Rafael FerninO Cut Three Men-Be Shot
 at the PntrOlmen.

at the PntrOlmen.
 James and Joseph Aranino, Michael Libretto and Rafael Fernino were ar- rested last evening by Patrolmen Law ton, Birmingham, McKeon and Rice. The arrests were made in consequence of a quarrel which took place at No. S2 Lafayette place.
 All the men were the guests of Pas quale Fernino and had met to drink the health of his son, for whom Rafael Fernino stood sponsor a short time ago. Just how the fracas commenced there seems to be a difference of opin- ion. The first information the police had of the affair was when one of Fer nino's neighbors ran into the station crying, Murder! Murder! They are killing some one at Lafayette placer The patrolmen rushed to the place. They were met by Rafael Fernino, who fired five shots at them. Fortunately, Fernino was a poor shot.
 Patrolman Lawton succeeded in get ting over a high fence and approached the infuriated man from the rear Be- nino, who had exhausted all the ammu- milton in his revolver, had time to re- load, the patrolman had bounced upon him. The other men were taken in custody without any resistance.
 At the central station Police Surgeon Louis J. Gaynor made an examination of the Araninos and Libretto, who said that Fernino had cut them. The latter had a small cut on the right arm. The two Araninos had slight wounds in the left shoulder None of the cuts was se- rious.
 Fernino claims that the younger Ar amino drew revolver upon him at the beginning of the row.
