NAPOLEON's VALUE or VICTORY
1t Finds Striking Counterpart in a
Recent World Triumph.

Napoleon knew we'll the value of VIC
tory. After Austerlitz the world seemed
his. Fame invited, fortune favored, every
thing stimulated his aspiring ambition.
With growing power he gathered the
fruits of victory. And 80 has it ever been.
Success succeeds. A notable illustration
of this truth is furnished by the great vic
tories won at the Worlds Fair in '93 and
the California Midwinter Fair in '94 by
DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder. Ever
increasing sales and popularity have been
the result. The people have promptly
ratified the official verd1cts that declared
DR.. Prices, for leavening power, keeping
qualities, purity and general excellence,
the foremost baking powder in all the
world" Quite as quickly as the great
emperor do they know the value of a vic-
tory that means worldwide supremacy.

WEYLER'S OPINION.
He Thinks That American JingOes
Are Bent Upon Forcing the United
states Into Foreign COM
plicatiOns.

New York, May PA dispatch to the
Journal from Cinfuegos, Cuba, says: In
an interview with Captain.G General Wey-
Ter in reference to Senator Morgan's Gu
ban resolution, the general said: 81 am
not surprised at the action thus far taken,
nor shall l be if the house concurs in the
senate resolution, and sends it to the
president. Your jingoes are evidently
bent upon forcing the United States into
foreign complications, in order to dis
tract attention from fast approaching
internal crisis.
PERSONALLY shall be glad if recogni-
tion comes. II will work virtual abro-
cation of our special treaty with the
United States, and place the Yankees re-
siding IN Cuba, in an identical position
before the courts with other foreign resi-
dents. I shall also be troubled less by
constant complaints, and often ridieu
lous demands from American consuls."
