THE STRIKERS ARE WEAKENING

Leavenworth, Kans., July 4-The
union miners are anticipating an or
der from President Ratchford of the
National Mine Workers Union, calling
ing out the miners of Kansas, but it
is doubtful If such an order will be
complied with. In the state convict
mines more men are working than at
any time heretofore, and the fact that
unusually heavy shipments are made
from these mines in box cars is causing
unfavorable comment among the free
miners, who accuse the state admins
tration of working against the inter-
ests of the strikers.

CITY of Mexico. Dec 2S.--A gentleman
from cuba who has been in Manzanllio,
In one of the so-called pacific provinces,
saws that in reality the war has not
begun there, for the country has been
abandoned to insurgents, who have
built towns which are supplied with
abundant provisions from the neigh
boring states, and established by the
Insurgents. who even manufacture
punpowder and have arms factories,
tanneries and shoe factories so they
can supply their troops with the most
Indispensable articles.
Spanish authority Is not recognized,
and the Inhabitants are comfortably
Settled under the authority of the Gu
ban republic. Occasionally the Span
fish conveys pass over the high roads,
hut the insurgents go out and meet
them and fight on the roads, the patri-
OTIS always taking the offensive. The
poorer Spanish soldiers are in such a
condition that much sympathy is
aroused, they being mostly boys, thin
and pale and complaining of the
wretched humiliation of their scanty
rations of not receiving any pay for
months.
Only very sick soldiers are admitted
10 the Spanish hospitals, ard others
who are really i'll are compelled to
sleep in courtyards exposed to the
weather. Their condition is pitiful in
the extreme, arouslng sympathy among
the insurgents, who know that these
mere lads have been conscripted and
sent TO fight them under conditions
which no veteran troops would stand
without mutiny.

The alarming increase in the number
of deaths which occur as the result of a
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and strong sentiment against
such methods of treatment is fast de
veloping among the most intelligent
classes. 1t seems that in almost every
case where the Doctors treatment is
unsuccessful, the learned physicians de-
eide at once that an operation must be
performed, and the keen blade of the
surgeon is recklessly resorted 10.
The many caustic plasters which are
applied to remove cancers are more pain
full than death, and the danger of sur
gicai operation is as great as the disease
itself. No plaster or surgical oper-
alton can cure cancer, because 1t is
blood disease the destructive cancer
cells are in the blood, and cannot be
cut out, or removed by local treatment.
As the disease must be forced from the
blood, it is only reasonable to rely upon
a real blood remedy for cure, one
which goes direct to the cause Of the
trouble and removes it.
