ings, under instructions from his owners,
said that he had nothing to say concerning
the firing of two shots al the steamer by
Spanish man-of-war in the harbor of
Guantanamo on May 27 last.
Others on board, however, were not so
reticent. From what was gathered among
the passengers and crew, it was learned
that the Valencia had cleare on May -
from Guantanamo, and about noon, after
saluting the forts at the entrance OF the
harbOr. the flags were lowered as the
steamer passed outside of the port The
Spanish man-of-war Maria Mercedes was
seen approach ing ,lbut no particular atten
ton was paid to her.
A blank shot was fired from the Span
lard, followed by a solid shot, which fell
under the stern of the Valencia Finding
that the Spanard was addressing his at
tent:ons to the Valencia, Capt. Skilings
ordered the steamers ColorS displayed and
proceeded without furt her moIestation from
the man -ofwar
1t is said on the Valencia that the
captain OF the Maria Mercedes, on arrival
in Eort, stated publicly that hr knew the
Valencia, but wanted the satisfaction of
compelling her captain TO display his
Colors.
When Capt. Skillings got to the Ward Line
office he made the following report of the
case:
We were just off the coast OF Cuba in
the bay when this affair occurred. The
Spanards must have seen our COlors, for
IL was only two minutes before that thar
we had salUted with the flag.
The Spanard, after firing the shots,
dipped his ensign In reply when we ran np
our COlOrs and steamed away. She made
TO apology
Capt Skillings, in his soffiCialreport states
that he believes that those in command OF
the Reina MeTCeds knew the Valencia be-
cause of her peculiar construction, the
officers OF the warship having been
il Santiago when the VALENCIA was II that
harbor on May and 8. lie also saws
that fhey must have known that the
steamer was due atGUantanamOonOra

THE CAKE WALK
Was ForneIy a Marriage Ceremony
Among the Plantation Negroes.

Was FormeIy Marriage Ceremony
Among the Plantation Negroes.
The cake walk proper had its origin
among the French negroes of Louisi-
ana more than a century ago, says the
Chicago Chronicle. There is little
doubt that it is an offshoot of some
one of the old French country dances.
1t resembles several of them in form.
From New Orleans it spread over the
entire South and thence to the North.
1t was found of convenience to the
plantation negroes. They were not
welded by license, and it was seldom
that the services of a preacher were
called in. At a cake walk man
might legitimately show his preference
for a woman and thus publicly claim
her for wife. In effect the cake walk
was not different from the old Scotch
marriage, which required only public
acknowledgment from the contracting
parties. So this festival became in
some sense a WOOing, an acceptance or
rejection and ceremony This ex-
plains its popularity with the blacks,
outide of its beauties, with the ac-
compartment Of music, which is COM
petent at all times to command negro
support Cake-walking has improved
as do most things that are constantly
practiced. 1t has lost its old signifi-
canoe in the South. Negroes now get
married, when they marry at all, in
white folks fashion. 1t has became
however, a pantomimic dance. Prop
erly performed it is a beautiful one.
The cake-.is not much of a prize,
though the negro has a sweet tooth.

NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
A Positive Cure for Dyspepsia.

A Positive Cure for Dyspepsia.
This may read as though we were
putting it a little strong because it Is
generally thought by the majority of
people that Dyspepsia in its chronic
form is incurable, or practically so. But
we have long since shown that Dyspep-
sia is durable, nor is it such difficult
matter as at first appears.
The trouble with Dyspeptics is that
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite ex-
tremes or else deluging the already
over burdened stomach with "bitterS,
latter dinner pills." etc, which invari-
ably increase the difficulty even if in
some cases they do give slight tenn
porary relief. Such treatment of the
stomach simply make matters worse.
What the stomach wants is rest. Now
how can the stomach become rested,
recuperated and at the same time the
body nourished and sustained?
This is the great secret and this is
also the secret of the uniform success
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is
a comparatively new remedy, but it's
success and popularity leaves no doubt
as to it's merits.
The Tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stom-
ach.
The sufferer from Dyspepsia accord
ing to directions is to eat an abundance
of good, wholesome food and use the
tablets before and after each meal and
the result will be that the food will be
digested no matter how bad your dys-
persia may be, because as before stat
ed. the tablets will digest the food even
if the stomach is wholly inactive. To il
lustrate our meaning plainly II you
take 1900 grains Of meat, eggs or ordi-
nary food and place it in temperature
of SO degrees, and put with it one of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets it will di-
gest the meat or eggs almost as per-
fectly as if the meat was enclosed with
in the stomach.
The stomach may be ever so weak
yet these tablets will perform the work
of digestion and the body and brain
will be properly nourished and at the
same time a radical, lasting cure Of
dyspepsia will be made because the
much abused stomach will be given,
to some extent, a much needed rest
Your druggist will tell you that of the
many remedies advertised to cure dy-
spcpsia none of them has given so
complete and general satisfaction as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not
least in Importance in these hard times
is the fact thatethey are also the cheap
est and give the most good for the
least money.

CAUGHT A 6 SHARK.
Fishermen Trap r in u Net and Drag

Fish hernien Trap It in u Net and Drag
1t AHhore.
Martin Preston. the fisherman about
Curtis bay, caught live shark in his
seine yesterday afternoon in the Pata-
psco, Iear the Quarantine station. 1t
measured a little more than eight feet,
and, besides giving Mr. Preston and his
assistants a lively tussfe, tore up nearly
200 feet of his seine, says the Baltimore
American.
Sharks are rare in the Patapsco, and
when Mr.. Preston saw that it was a
real live one he made up his mind to
land it alive, and was successful only
after one of the hardest fights of his
life
The shark which evidently followed
some ship up the bay, became tangled
in the net, which was set out near the
shore and staked. The fishermen MOTTO
ed an unusual commotion out toward
had struck a big school, of fish, which
would met" them a big check from
some wholesale dealer
They were surprised to find the
shark. A stout rope was made fast to
the big sea fishs tail, and it was tow
ed ashore at the old brass foundry,
near Stone House Cove, and there Sc
cureIy anchored. The news soon spread
through the village and South Balti-
more, and last night the Curtis Bay
cars of the Consolidated company were
crowded with people, eager to see the
curiosity, which was kept on exhibi-
tion until late last night, it's ugly
looking body fairly glisening in the
moonlight, and it's tail keeping up a
constant struggle for liberty.

FREE STORAGE CASES
Taken Un at Chicago by the Conn
merce Commission.

merce Commission.
CHICAGO, Sept 23.-The interstate
commerce commission today took up
the hearing of the complaint of the
American Warehouse association
against various railroads, charging
them with violating the interstate COM
merce law in warehOusing goods long
er than forty-eight hours. The follow
ing roads were represented by counsel:
Chicago & Northwestern, Baltimore &
Ohio, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy,
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, CHI
cago SS Grand Trunk, Illinois Central,
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul, Bur-
lington & Cedar Rapids, Michigan Cen
trail.
Local Freight Agent Brown, of the
Burlington, admitted that his road
stored goods in warehouses and made
no extra charge for storage beyond
forty-eight hours Sapolio, soda and
sugar were mentioned as commodities
stored for long periods of time.
General Freight Agent Miller, of the
Burlington, made like admissions, but
justified the action by saying that If
his company did not warehouse goods
for long periods the business would go
elsewhere.
Local Freight Agents Lockett, of the
Grand Trunk, and Brinkerhoff, of the
Northwestern, admitted to the storage
of goods for thirty and fifty days with
out making extra charge for the ser
vice.
At the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion, Chairman Morrison announced
that as all the witnesses were admit
ting the charges of warehousing. and
as none of the railroads seemed dis
posed to deny the charge, it would be
a waste of time to take further tes-
timony, and the attorneys agreeing to
submit briefs to the commission in
argument for and against the right Of
the railroad companies to grant free
storage, an adjournment was taken to
Saturday morning. At that time the
evidence against a number of roads
for alleged discrimination on a charge
preferred by the Northwestern Iowa
Grain assnciaIfon will be heard.
