crown that a woman may wear. To wear it
she must take proper care of herself, and
see to it that the delicate organs that are
distinctly feminine are always healthy and
strong. Thousands of women fall short of
good health in this one respect, and as .
result soon become but wrecks of their
former selves. A woman cannot long retain
her general health who is suffering from
weakness and disease of the organs that
make wifehood and motherhood possible.
Dr.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription acts
directly on these organs. 1t makes them
we'll and strong. 1t prepares woman to be
wife and mother. 1t does away with the
discomforts of the expectant period and
makes baby's advent easy and almost pain

HAVANA oUTPoRT ATTACKED.

New York, Nov. PA party of in
surgents attacked the Spanish outpost
of Havana and sharp engagement
followed, says the Havana cofrespon-
dent of the Herald.
The sound of firing caused great ex-
element in Havana as it is known that
large rebel forces are quartered near
the city.
Details of the engagement are not
know, but it is said that the insurgents
destroyed much property before suf-
ficient Spanish forces were concentrat-
ed to drive them away.
The loss in dead and wounded is not
known, as officials refused to give out
any information beyond the bare
statement that a party of six insur-
gents just outside of CaraIbana were
driven away. The rebels it is official
ly reported took two horses and one
rifle, which they had stolen.

Thinks SPAIN WILL WIN
Marquis OF Apeztegula In
terVieWed In New York
HE IS THE CONSERVATIVE LEAD
Err IN CUBA AND IS ON
HIS WAY HOME,
Says That With BlantO In Command
Spain Will Soon Pacify Cuba,
Says Spain Is Friendly 10 US.
She Has Plenty Of Men And
Resources Left.

New York, Nov.22.-The Marquis of
Apezteguia, the Conservative leader in
Cuba, who is in New York on his way
home from Spain, takes hopeful view
Blanco is in command. He thinks this
winters campaign will accomplish the
pacification of most of the island.
Il think" he said, "now that Gen.
Blanco is in command that vigorous
campaign will be begun and such force
will be used that the new plans for
the government of Cuba will soon be
put in operation. 1 think that after
the campaign of this winter most of
the island will be pacified. Spain has
plenty of resources. She will send
more men if necessary. Rather than
suffer her dignity to be offended, she
will fight to the last"
What is the feeling of Spain toward
the United States?" was asked.
The Spaniards," he said, "who live
under strongly centralized govern
ment, find it difficult to distinguish
between acts committed by individuals
and acts committed by the nation. The
fact that filibustering expeditions have
been equipped in this coutry has caus-
ed the Spaniards some surprise. Still,
on the whole, the feeling toward the
United States is friendly.
The people of the United States must
remember that Spain is engaged in a
war and that incidents which other
wise would be considered unimportant
may prove very irritating. On the
other and the United States being so
near the seat of war is apt to feel very
strongly concerning the Cuban situa-
ton. 1 think that Spain appreciates
that thoroughly.
What effect do you think the re-
lease of the Competitor prisoners will
have on the relations between Spain
and the United States?'
1T will undoubtedly create the
friendliest feeling" he replied.
the question was decided in Par
lament and upon its merits by the
Spanish authorities.
II was surprised" he continued, "to
read the utterances OF Hannis Taylor.
L had supposed when / met him in
Madrid that he was a friend of Spain.
His statement concerning the consti-
tuition of Spain, the practices of the
country and the character of the Span
ish people are not gracious and GER
tainly unfair. His recent speech say
ing the United States should recognize
the independence of Cuba is surpris-
ing"

measures, though humane, are wholly
inadequate. II carried out by the To-
cal authorities they come too late. SOL
diers ratiors, even with jerked beef
and corn meal added, will kill more
than they win cure. The starved con-
dition of the wretched Cubans here IS
such that expert medical testimony
dooms one half of the entire three
thousand concentrates left, to death
and if the rations issued are the same
that the Spanish soldiers here now
barely exist on, the same testimony de-.
clares that at least 1900 will die.
The starving are not likely to get
even that much. One of the highest
officials, who would be entrusted with
the issuing of rations, has said within
three days:
I'VE are not going to pay any atten-
ton to Blanco's orders"
The money raised for feeding the
starving has been mostly stolen. The
change of the officiales has let this out
through the intense hatred of the
Spanish reformist for Spanish conser-
vatives. An income tax of three per
cent was levied for the care of the hun
cry and collected. The present officers
charge the present officials with put
| ting most of it in their pockets. The
amount raised was considerable. The
work done was next to nothing.
| Six thousand dollars went in wages
at fifteen cents a day and downward
at swamp filling. Two hundred men
worked on a boulevard two weeks and
paid most of their money back to the
officials for the food they were COM
lpelled to buy in certain places.
Within a week leading Spanish
merchant slapped a former mayors
face, after taxing him and the former
governor with this and other stealings
Another example is, the barracks built
for the concentrates, which appears
on the books to have cost $4,000, 000
The material was taken from dis
mantled buildings. The labor was
compulsory and the barracks could not
have cost more than $1,000. With such
a record, and the boast, 1--WE are not
going to pay attention to Blanco's or
ders," the Spanish authorities of Mat
anzas cannot be expected to give to
the starving the care they require, -
