Gsnsral Rivera Says Cuba Only Needs Rihss
and CARTRIDGES.


New York, Jan. 1S.-The World this
morning publishes an interview with
General Ruis Rivera. The despatch Is
dated I'm the field near San Cayetano,
province of Pinar del Rio" In this In
terview General 1ivera says:
II do not wish to criticise our friends
I'm the United States. for believe them
(referrlng to the junta) patriotic men and
striving to do their best for Cuba. but we
here in Pinar del Rio have been some
what neglected.
Great reliance was placed upon GEN
eral Maceo, our beloved commander, and
IL was thought that he could not only
defeat the enemy in the province, but
finally make junction with Gomez.
But he knew. and our friends should
nave known also. that four or five or ten
thousand men, poorly armed and most
of the time with but scanty ammuni-
tion. could not prevail against $4,000
well armed and well fed troops. One or
two small expeditions landed-one at
Corientes bay-but otherwise for nine
months we have been depending upon
our strategy and knowledge Of the prov
ince to keep us out of a pitched battle.
Speaking with reference to cannon.
] wish it could be communicated to our
friends in the United States that cannon
are more In the way Of ourselves than Of
the enemy in this province. In the first
place, they are inconvenient to take
about over the hills, through the low
land manigua and among the woods.
The cannon we now have represents an
outlay of $4,000 or $4,000, and yet almost
1000 rifles could be purchased for that
sum.
"Of course when we are In a position
to assault Havana heavy guns will be
a necessity. Do we expect to soon? No:
not very soon-about the end Of the
winter, hope.
I'VE do not need men. and, above all,
we do not want foreigners to come, un-
less they are men of military science. 1t
fs not, you know, because of any lack
of apprecia lion for the sympathy or as
sistance of the foreigners. We pray
and we thar. God that the American ma
ton exists, and we know and appre-
ciate the great help 1t has been to us.
But we do not want young Americans
to come to Cuba as fighters. Not one in
10 knows a word OF the language OF our
country, language we would change, If
we could, since we dislike everything
Spanish.
"But, as matter of fact, we are not in
need of men at all. The whole native
population is with us, and I am conf
dent an army of $4,000 could be placed
in Havana province before the winter Is
over, If we had but the arms and ammu-
milton. Our Cubans are brave and pa
triotic and willing to die for our repub-
lie, but they are not crazy enough to
face an enemy's bullets with empty
hands. Tell the American people to
give US 10000 rifles and O. supply Of cart
ridges, and we will whip HI out Of
Weyler and his trocha before the win
ter ends"

FOOD STRENGTH.
1T COMES FROM THE RIGHT FOOD
PROPERLY DIGESTED.

Food strength is natural strength. II Is
new strength; created strength. That is,
1t Is not stimulation.
The real strength of your body is your
constitutional strength, your reserve
strength. It is the result of eating proper
food and digesting 1t.
Eating food does no good at all; rather
harm-unless it is digested. So that everyS
thing narrows itself down to one PROPOSE
tion: How Is your digestion?
One person In three of us have indiges-
tion in some form or another. II is not
really disease, but condition; a condi-
tion which may become serious.
We all wish to be strong, and we might
all become so II we digested our food. The
loss of your strength Is a serious matter
1t may be the beginning of a dangerous
disease. II may mean that you cannot GO
on with your work.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is an aid to
digestion. It Is strength maker. IL
makes your food nourish your. IL makes
you strong. II relieves at once all the
symptoms of acute dyspepsia, tones up the
system and creates flesh, energy and
strength. Taken regularly Il will perma-
nently cure indigestion and make the
weak, thin, irritable, nervous dyspeptic,
strong, fat, hearty and well again. =.

Bloodshed Over Election.

Cincinnati, Jan. ia special to
the Commercial Tribune from Colum-
bus, Ca, says: For over ~ hours the
village Of Byron, In Houston county, has
been in q state o riot, in which four
men, Messrs. c. G. Richardson, c. L.
Bateman, G. G. Bateman and r. H. Bas-
kies were shot and others held In terror.
The trouble grew out OF an election for
municipal Offices held two weeks ago,
which resulted In q tie, the town dividing
into two bitter factions, charges OF fraud
being freely interchanged between the
leaders. A second election was called
for Saturday, to decide the contest. In
which every voter was brought up to
the polls, not change taking place In
the political alignments. thus causing
fear Of second tie. which actually was
the result. The leaders Of the factions
were Charles L. Bateman and G. c.
Richardson. Unfortunately, they ap-
preached the polls at the same moment,
when q personal collision took place. In
which shooting was begun. Their follow
ers made rush home for arms, and In
q few moments. the village presented
Q warlike scene. The telegraph operator
who was lady, abandoned her key in
terror. and for hours the outside world
was cut on from communication. The
arrival Of the sheriff restored compare
tive peace. but at night the trouble was
renewed, and at the ringing Of the school
bell the entire population was once more
In the street. The sheriff succeeded in
establishing his authority. but the feud
now started, especially since the cleo
ton has to be held over again. Is looked
upon as one to result In further blood
