the Journal from cienfuegos. Cuba,

the Journal from Cienfuegos. Cuba,
says:
In one interview with Captain Cen
eral Weyler upon his arrival here from
Plecetas, in reference TO the Cuban rev.
olution, the general said: II am not
surprised at tlle{action thus far taken,
nor shall 1 be surprised IL the house
concurs in the senate resolution and
sends it to-tle president. Your jingoes
are in the saddle, and evidently bent
upon forcing the country in some for
eign complications in order to distract
attention from the approaching inter
national crisis.
The few scattering bands of Cuban
dynamiters, railroad wreckers, horse
and cattle thieves, plantation burners
and highwaymen now in the field here,
who hold no port and possess no seat
of civil government, have no right TO
expect recognition. Such distinction at
President McKinley's hands issued in
the face of NV own proclama-
ton officially declaring the greater
part of the island pacified, would
hold the Washington executive
up to the ridicule of Euro
pean powers and prompt heal
thy outburst of sympathy for the Span
ish cause, especially from neighboring
old world governments. also possessing
colonies in the West Indies. In brief,
recognition may aid the government
junta in placing few bonds duties,
but will at the same. time assure the
successful issue OF our proposed new
Spanish loan in Paris, London and
Vienna, and enable us to carry on the
war with renewed viger

milton comes our position viii then be

iterated expressions of friendship shall
be finally unmasked. have always

patroHing the Cuban coast off their
guard has invariably been followed by
the departure of some new Cuban fill
buster from an American port with
arms and ammunition for our enemy"
Continuing, the captain general ex-
pressed delight at the proposition TO
have consuls here furnish free trans
portation to all Americans who desire
to return TO the United States. but he
said he considered the plan TO distri-
butte food to resident Americans as an
indirect and unjustified attempt to in

was the government collected TOO much

LOOKS LIKE COFFEE.
But Made Of Natures Pure Grains-A Pure

The ancient Germans were sturdy

were great users of grains in their

reasonably sure to keep well. Much

the starch Of the food Is turned to
sugar and finally to fat. Tea ana
coffee make themselves felt with thou
sands of Americans of the present day.
They delay digestion, as shown in late
experiments, and this fact explains the
cause of the serious disorders which
frequently come to old and steady tea
and coffee drinkers.
A new drink, called Postum Cereal,

preparation of the grains, and 1t pos

the claim. 1t is especially good for the
