Panama canal CuIprits.

Paris, Jan. 13.-The inquiry into the
question of the responsibility of the
Panama canal culprits for the fines
imposed upon them was begun today.
The tribunal decided that ex-AIinister
Baihaut, Charles De LesseDs and
BlOndin were responsible for the fine of
S91 900 francs imposed upon Baihaut in
addition to a term of Imprisonment

dial. Baihaut was released from prison
i few months ago. but on December II
was rearrested in order that he might
serve two years additional imprisOn-
ment for failure to pay the fine. He is
low in prison, where he will remain if
and they return to France Blondin and
De LesseDs will be put in Jail.

detests fraud, to warn his neighbOrS,
and take the warning to himself. that
when he goes to get a bottle of Paine's
celery compound he must not be

remedy.
Paine's celery compound makes peo-

Paine's celery compound is not a

freely to every physician
These trashy stuffs that you are

These ordinary nervines, tonics and

that will restore strength. renew vi

Mr.. Wadsworth (RepD, New York,
called up the house bill to make cleo
ma.-arine and all other imitation dairy
products subject TO the laws of the state
or territory into which they are Trans

Opposition 10 the measure came from

New York, Jan. ia Havana spec
ial to the Sun says:
General Weyler continues the war of
determination and destruction which,
in his opinion, will end with the pacifi-
cation of the island. From Govea to
Tumbadero, a distance of ten miles in
Havana province, all the farms have
been burned by the Spanish troops.
This means a loss of 100000 worth of
property and the misery of hundreds
of families.
Weyler attributes these outrages to
the insurgent band, though everybody
knows that they are the work of Span
ish columns under the special instruc-
lions of the captain general.
a farmer of GoVea, whose small prop
cray was reduced to ashes, and who
was deprived of all resources, with a
wife and six children to support, said
that the columns are preceded by bands
of tOrchmen, who kindle nres on every
side after plundering the houses. The
farmers and their families are taken
before the chiefs of the column and
threatened with death. The Spaniards
say that they do not want people to
live in the country, but to gather in
the towns, no matter how poor they
are, nor how much they need the prod
uce of their farms for their daily sus
tenance
If any one dares to protest against
living in the towns because he has
nothing to live on there, he is imme-
diately killed. The result of this bar
barous policy is the reinforcement of
the insurgent army by hundreds of
recruits dailv, who are obliged to
choose between starvation in the cities
or fighting against those who destroy
their means of gaining a livelihood.
Govea is a station on the United
railway of Havana. and the farms
which surround it are mostly tobacco
plantations. Weyler's object in order
ing the destruction of all that part of
the country is to deprive the insurgent
bands of Havana province of food re-
sources, as he believes they live on
what the farmers provide them.
This policy irritates the SpaNiards in
Havana, who own properties in the
country or are interested in agricul
ture. 1t is perfectly true that they are
trying to influence Madrid to recall
Weyler. But they 90 not dare to freely
express their opinions, as they fear the
resentment of the Spanish immigrants,
who highly approve of Weyler's sys-
tenn OF discriminating the natives.

Oregon Filibusters.

Salem, Ore, Jan. 1S.-Only 30 mem
bers of the Oregon state assembly
which is eight short of a quorum,
answered the roll call at Yesterday
afternoons session. The object of the
fiibusters in absenting themselves
appears TO be twofold-to coerce the
committee on credentials into granting
concessions and to defeat. if possible,
the reelection OF United States Senator
Mitchell. A COMPROMISE will doubtless
be effected but the prospects tonight
for such a move are not very bright.
