Cincinnati, Feb. 1.-THE Commercial
Tribunes special from Key West says
that one Of General Weyler's supply
trains was dynamited on the railroad
near Cieze, north of Cienfugos. Two
bombs were exploded under the engine
and four under the train, being fired
by electricity as the train was cross
ing a trestle. The engine was blown
apart and all the cars were splintered.
They rolled over the trestle into the
ditch, the fall completing what the dy-
Mantle had left undone. Out of the
guard of 100 soldiers on it, forty-flve
were instantly killed or terribly injured.
The others surrendered, as a force of
200 Cubans appeared.
Looted the Train.
The train was looted, the insurgents
securing a small field piece that General
Weyler had just ordered from Havana.
After securing all the provisions and
ammunition, the cars were burned. The
prisoners were released and the Cuban
captain sent Weyler box of sweet
bread with a polite note. The captain
of the Cuban band was an American
named Burke from Indiana. The fam

A Grain Pate War in Siqht.

The Santa Fe has announced that,
effective Friday, it willapply a rate on
wheat shipped from all Kansas points
direct tO Galveston for export rates
based OG the local rates from such
points into Kansas City, plus 10 cents.
This action is taken because the
Memphis road has in effect a Is cent
tariff on wheat from Kansas City to
New Orleans, and the Pttsburg &
Gulf and other lines have been meet.
ing this rate.
1t is thought that this action may
be the initial move in a determined
effort of the Santa Fe to force wheat
shipments direct to Galveston rather
than through Kansas City. The
company recently built a $4,000 ele-
vator at Winfield, Kas. All its lines
converge there, and thence its road
runs direct TO Galveston. To carry
wheat to Kansas City and thence
back to the Gulf means, of course, a
longer haul and heavier expense for
the same revenue, and alsu a chance
OF losing large part of the grain here
to other lines for shipment to the
Gulf.
1t is understood the Santa Fe has
had this matter up in three different
meetings in an effort to secure an
agreement to its action of yesterday,
out IN each encountered opposition.
The PiltS6urg & Gulf is said TO have
declared it would put into effect as
low rate as 10 cents from Kansas
City to the Gulf ports if necessary TO
defeat the purpose of the Santa Fe
should 1t take the action of yester-
day. Should the Pittsburg & Gulf
take this stand, eastern lines will
probably meet it with lower rates to
ST. Louis and the Atlantic seaboard,

II is Usually Fatal.

Secretary Coburn, of the state board
Of agriculture, in discussing the occa-
siOnal death Of cattle by eating Sec
ond growth sorghum, said:
1T is evident there are many farm
erS and stockEen who yet believe or
argue that, because they have seen
cattle Craze on second growth sor-
ghum without any bad results, it is,
therefore, not dangerous. In spite OF
this, there is abundant and unoueS-
tiOnable evidence that, under some
conditions, which no one as yet fully
understands, it is about as certainly
and quickly fatal as that meSt-tO. be-
dreaded Of all guns-the one which
its owner doesn't know is loaded. For
example, | recently saw in the news

and he writes that the statement was
correct, except that it was second
growth sweet sorghum instead Of
Kaffir corn, and that it was not frost

not in the cane longer than fifteen
minutes, during which time thirty.
one died, lying but few rods apart.

Cold Weather
CatarPh.

Though the disagreeable effects of Ca
tarrh are felt all the year round, cold and
disagreeabe weather aggravates the
disease and it is during the winter sea-
son that its severest form is felt. Each
succeeding year seems to intensity the
disease, so that it gradually fastens its
hold upon the sufferer with a grasp that
becomes frmer each season.
Catarrh often appears as only a cold at
6rst, and is hardly noticed. But gradu-
ally the cold returns, and it is more
dificultto cure, and stays longer than for
merly. These symptoms cannot be mis-
taken; theymark thefrstappearance of a
disease that will develop in severity and
stubbornness, and which it is impossible
tocure with the local treatment of sprays,
washes, and similar applications. Being
a disease of the blood, only a blood
remedy can have the slightest effect
upon it. S.S.S. (Swift's Specifc) is the
only cure for Catarrh, because it is the
only blood remedy which goes to the
seat of all obstinate and deep-seated
cases, and forces out the disease.

chant of Spartanburg, S. c., writes:
