The German press is fully aroused
against Hayti because of the unlawful
imprisonment of a citizen of the empire
by the authorities at Port au Prince
Hayti, of course, could not stand up
against Germany. but as the United
States is sort of wet nurse for all the
irresponsible and mongrel governments
on the American continents and the is
lands adjacent thereto, it will be in order
for Uncle Sam to step forward and guar
antee the payment OF such an indemnity
as Germany may impose.

General Blanco, the new captain gen.
erai Of Cuba, finds upon investigation
that the Spanish army Is in deplorable
condition. Frauds lin connection with
furnishing medicines and supplies to the,
troops have been brought to light. The
military hospital at Guinasss.is entirely
without medicines and other necessaries,
and the food supply is utterly made
quate. OF the 200, 00C men sent to Gen
eral Weyler from Spain.-fo for the suppress
sion of the rebellion, only small per-
centage are now fit for active service.
Towns are garrisoned principally by CON-
valesceht soldiers, who in many instances
are too weak to offer more than feeble
response to attacks of the insurgents.
With such a condition of affairs existing
it is not surprising that the liberal gov
ernmeht of Spain is willing to make al
most any concession in order to secure
peace.

Causes n Sensation.
Paris, NOV. 16.-M. Scheurer Kestner,
one of the vice pre- sidents Of the Senate,
who has been ,agitatipg for q reopening
of the case of Alfred Dreyfus, the former
captain Of artillery, now undergoing II
sentence oil imprisonment for life for sell
ing important French military plans to
agents of Il foreign power, has written n
letter to the newspapers in which he as.
serts that on October 30, he presented to
the French minister OF war Il general
bill aud documents proving the prisoner
innocent. NJ. ScheuIer Kestner adds that
The minister promised to make nm in
quiry into the matter and also undertook
to communicate to NJ. Scheurer Kestner
the result within II fortnight, pledcing
the latter to silence in the meanwhile.
Continuing, NJ. Scheurer Vestner ex-
plains that this is the reason of his mis-
understood silence, but as the fortnight
has elapsed without the minister of war
communicating with him, he now rA-
yeats, without fear of contradiction, that
he showed the minister documents which
easily establish the culpnbility OF an
ether than Dreyfus.
The letter of NJ. Scheurer Kestner
caused considerable excitement In the
lobbes os the chamber of Deputies, and
it is expected the cabinet will discuss the
situation and issue pronouncement on
the subject.

head and eyes. Not long after this. a
scrofula sore appeared on my left cheek,
extending from my upper lip to my eye.
Other sores came on my neck and on my
right arm and one of my limbs. They
were very troublesome and painful and
soon became great running sores. NV
face looked so bad that some of nv
nelghbors could not bear to look at me
and advised me to wear bandage. but
feared this would irritate the sore and
make it worse. Sol
Could Not Hide the Sores.
My niece, who was familiar with n case
similar to mine, which had been cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, urged me to try it.
FINALLY was persuaded to do SO, and in
a short time saw it was helping me
The sores began to heal and the neu-
ralgia in my head was better. In few
months the sores on my arms and limbs
all healed; those on my neck gradually
disappeared and now they are all gone.
1 have never had any symptom of scrofula
since. One large scar on my right arm is
all the sign that remains of my terrible
ahiiction. The neuralgia is also cured.n
