The man who would run from lion greets
Ill health with smile, and yet he has more
chance Of escaping from the lion than he has
from the effects of i'll health. The lions
work is quickly done and the man is out of
his misery Many victim of consumption
would be glad if the end came sooner. His
life of misery and suffering can hardly be
called real life. He is half alive, at best.
The fact that he might have been perfectly
we'll and strong makes his trouble all the
harder to bear. The fact that he can be per-
fectly we'll and strong again seems hard
fact for him to believe. Hundreds OF men
whose lives have been given up by physi-
clans have been brought back to health and
strength by the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. Its good effect IS felt
almost Immediately. 1t brings back lost ap-
petite, soothes and strengthens the nerves,
fills the blood full of richness and vitality.
1t stimulates digestion, clears out the liver,
and makes assimilation easy and perfect. II
has remarkably cleansing and strengthen
ing effect on the lungs, and some OF its most
remarkable cures have been in the line OF
throat, lung and bronchial affections. 1t ia
an absolutely sure remedy for indigestion in
any form, for nervousness, sleeplessness,
debility from overwork and wasting away
of the tissues. This marvellous remedy
can be obtained from any honest druggist.

from ConsuI- General Lee, stating that the
number OF Americans who are starving to
death In Cuba because OF Gen. wsyler's or
ders combining non-combatants to fortified
cities will number at least 1, 200.
In his former Dispatch placing the num-
Der at 500 Gen. Lee had not received returns
from all consular districts OF Cuba, so that
the number was partially an estimate. He
has now received return from the consul Mt
Sagua, stating that there are Mt least 450
Americans In that district who will require
relief From Ma ianzas he received n re-
port stating that there were at least $50
starving In the district.
Gen. Lee has already drawn S10, 900 which
Is being distributed to the consuls through

AN INTERVIEW WITH wEYLER

Thieves Would Be Ridiculous.

The New York Morning Journal prints,
under date OF Clienfuegos, Cuba, May II, an
interview with Capt. Gen, Weyler. Speaking
of the action OF the senate in passing the
Morgan beligerency resolution, Weyler said
II am not surprised, nor shall be, II the
house should concur In the senate resolution
and send it to the president Your jingoes
are In tho saddle. and evidently bent upon
forcing the country into some serious foreign
complications In order to distract attention
from the fast approaching internal crisis.
The few scattering bands OF Cuban
dynamiters, railroad wreckers, horse and
cattle thieves, plantation burners and high
waymen, now in the field here, who hold no
port and possess no seat of civil government,
have no right to expect recognition. Such
distinction at President McKinley's hands,
issued In the face of my own proclamation
officially declaring the greater part of the
island to be already paciiled, would hold the
Washington executive up to the ridicule OF
European powers and prompt healthy out
burst ofsympathy.
