There Is more catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
enee has proven ca;arrh to be COLI
stltutional disease, and, therefore, re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by f. J.
Cheney IL Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces Of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and

insurgents Mistook Red Cross Flag for .
Parliamentary Flag.

Havana. Sept. 13.-Further official
details of the capture of Victoria de las
Tunas, province of Santiago de Cuba,
say that the insurgents, after captur-
ing the town killed with the machete
40 guerillas for having made a stub
born resistance to the enemy.
1t is explained that Spanish hoisted
the Red Cross flag over the hospital
of Victoria de las Tunas and that the
insurgents, mistaking it for a parlia-
mentary flag. sent an officer in that
direction. But, in spite of this, the
Spaniards claim, the insurgents com
mander, General CaliXto Garcia, did
not respect the flag or the hospital and
bombarded the building, killing or
wounding so sick men.
The latest advfces from Spanish
sources say the insurgents lost over 300
killed during the fighting about Vic
torla de las TNunas, and that among
them was Gen. Menocal.
Four Spanish officers and eight SOL
diers who were among those of sur
rendered to the Insurgents have ar
rived at Cauto.

AMERICAN BUCCANEERS mi :
Said to Be- Prey'ns Upon Inc People Of shs'
Queen Charlotte Islands.

Ottawa, Ont.-A complaint comes
from the Pacific ocean of raids made
by American buccaneers upon the
Queen Charlotte islands. Using their
own harbors for safety, It is alleged
they have been making raids upon the
territories and fishing grounds Of
british subjects. 1t is said that they
have pillaged settlements while the
people were away. In one place a whole
crop Of potatoes were dug up.
Smuggling also is alleged to be car
ried on with impunity, and quantities
of American goods are being taken in
without payment of duty. They have
gone so far as to kill cattle owned by
Canadians and disposed Of them in the
markets of Juneau and Sitka.
The complaint goes on to say that
the marauders are well armed and
have a number of villages completely
in their hands. The Canadian customs
department is robbed of thousands Of
dollars every year. Itis urged that a
cruiser be dispatched there to straight
en- matters out and restore law AMI
order. An investigation of the case is
TO be ordered by the Dominion govern
ment.

HAWAII AND ANNEXATION.
Supposed That by This lime Hawaiian Senate
Has Ratified Treaty.

New York, Sept. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
THE Senate of the national Legislature
of the republic of Hawaii has by this
time ratified the treaty. anneXing the Ha-
waiian Islands to the United States"
This assertion was made by Mr.. Lorin
M. Thurston, charge d'affaires of Hawaii
to the United States. Mr.. Thurston said
that the Senate of the Hawaiian Legis-
Sept. s, and as that body is unanimous
for annexation, he has no doubt that ii
has ratified the convention without a dis
senting voice.
Both the senate and House of Repre-
sentatives of the Hawaiian Legislature
are pledged to annexation, according to
Mr.. Thurston. Just before the adjourn
ment of the two Houses. last year. a
joint resolution was adopted declaring it
to be the sense of the Legislature that
the interests of Hawaii demanded her
annexation to the United States. This
resolution was unanimously adopted.
AS the complexion of the Senate and
House has not changed since the adop-
ton of the resolution, Mr. Thurston has
no doubt that. SO far as Hawaii is con-
cerned, all the steps possible have been
taken to accomplish annexation.
1t is believed in administration circles
that the effect of the ratification of the
treaty by the Hawaiian Senate will be to
influence some of the members of the
United States Senate now in the doubtful
column to vote for the convention, next
session. All that is now necessary is the
approval of that body. and it is not be-
lieved that many members will be willing
to shoulder the responsibility of defeating
annexation and thus throw Hawaii into
the hands of Japan.

INHUMAN CRUELTY
Pcrpstrated Upon DeienceIess Prisoners by
Kind and Merciiui' Spanish.

New York, Sept. 13.-The Press says:
Two passengers who reached this port
on the steamship Scandal tell terrible
tales of Spanish cruelty to prisoners
Their names are Juan Vivo and Albert
Lopez.
Vivo says that he and 125 others were
deported in December, 1896, from Ha-
vana as political prisoners by order OF
Gen. Weyler. They were to be confined
on the Chafarinas islands, and were
shipped on a steamer for Cadiz. On the
voyage Vivo declares the treatment
they received was brutal in the ex-
IRENE. The We're huddled together like
animals in the lower hold of the steam
err and were heavily manacled.
Scarcely any food, and that not fiji
for human beings to eat, was given
them, and only two pals of water a
day were allowed for the 126 prisoners.
Their thirst in the hot reeking hold was
torture. One of them objected to such
starvation, and was beaten so severely
by the guards that he died the next
day, and his body was Immediately
thrown overheard.
Vivo was pardoned on the last birth
day of the King of Spain, and was re-
leased, August 2.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. Sept. 13.-The most inter-
esting fact connected with today's
stock market was that the principal
support accorded the market was
through buying orders cabled from
London. Altogether London bought
$4,000 shares. The stocks most largely
bought by London were st. Paul, Kan
sas and Texas pfd., Union Pacific and
Southern pfd.
II it had not been for the upward
tendancy of prices at the opening in
sympathy with the London quotations
it is probable that net declines would
be much greater than they are. Thus
the extreme decline was points in
Missouri Pacific, 2A in st. Paul, Rock
Island and Northern Pacific pfd., ia,
Manhattan, rs, Mobile and Ohio, az
and in a large number of shares over
a point.
The good influence of the extra divi-
dend, last week, on ST. Paul was the
cause of the London buying. The New
York selling was attributed to yellow
fever and to an apprehension that the
Cuban question would again assume an
acute phase at the cabinet meeting, to-
morrow.
The decline was encouraged as much
as possibly by the bears and the effect
of fierce raids was evident in a number
of prominent stocks.
The bulls made an effort to check the
decline by pushing Omaha, Kansas and
Texas pfd., and Northwest, but were
only partially successful. Omaha was
lifted IA, Kansas and Texas pfd, the
same amount and Northwest, IL. All
three reacted sharply but were left
with substantial net gains.
Quite firm tone also, was evident
fractionally higher. Tennessee Coal
and Minnesota Iron were markedly
heavy. Illinois Steel and Colorado
Fuel made sharp gains. The Industri-
ais stocks generally shared in the weak
ness of the market, Lead leading the
decline with loss of two points.
The features of the day were a fell
of u cent in the actual rate of sterling
exchange and hardening of rate for
call loans to per cent. with exceptions
at 21s per cent. United States new rs
declined * in the bid price,

Mr.. John S. Jones of So Franklin St..
says: II have had kidney trouble for
the past eight years affecting my back
with pain across the loins, and down
both sides into the abdomen. It was
duh and heavy as a rule and my back
felt weak. At times l was subject to
twinges and could not get on my feet
from lying down without gradually
working myself up sideways. At night
1 was no better Off for I have remained
awake half of many night tossing
about and wondering if the bed were in
ridges. My back has laid me Off from
my work for many day and many a
week. Frequently when I worked it
has punished me for it. In the spring
of 1896 l was engaged at work which
constantly caused straining Of the back.
l thought it was a bad time to start
using kidney medicine butnevertheiess
l. went to the Old Reliable drug store
of Chas. X. Partridge and procured
Doan's Kidney Pills. l took them for
a couple of days. Almost from the
first it seemed that the aching in my
back was stopped. I must confess +
was surprised for l considered the
change an impossibility. My back
never felt as we'll in years as it does
now. Anything 1 might say for Dean s

A Simple precau.ion That Should Be Taken

A gentleman who resides in Boston, ana
is now passing vacation in this city, ex-
pressed his surprise on hearing of the Ia
tai fall at the Congress Square hotel. that
no precautions are taken here against
such accidents, as is the case in New
York and Boston. where, generally, hooks
or supports are placed in the sides OF high
windows, to which the belt around the
body of the window washer is attached
thus securing him in case of slip A
similar belt is used by linemen. who Sc
cure themselves by attaching it to the
electric poles at the top. 1t is probable
that more linemen are killed By falling
than by the shock of contact with live
wires. and the belt device gives them an
increased chance for rescue. Moreover
in the case of both window-Washer and
lineman, both hands are left free in this
way. and their work can De more eApedl-
tiously and comfortably done, than when
one hand is engaged in supporting the
worker.-Portland Transcript
