General Weyler Interviewed.

New York, May ga dispatch to
the Journal from Ceinfuegos, Cuba,
says:
In an interview with Captain Gen
eral Weyler, upon his arrival here from
Placeras, in reference to Senator Nor
gan's resolution, the general said:
II am not surprised with the action
thus far taken, nor shall be if the
house concurs in the senate resolution
and sends it to the president. Your
jingoes are in the saddle, and evidently
bent upon forcing the country into
some foreign complications in order to
distract attention from the fast-ap-
preaching internal crisis:
"The few scattering bands of Cuban
dynamiters, railroad wreckers, horse
and cattle thieves, plantation burners
and highwaymen 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 pacified, would
hold the Washington executive up to
the ridicule of European powers, and
prompt healthy outburst of sympathy
for the Spanish cause, especially from
neighboring Old-World governments,
also possessing colonies in the West In
dies. In brief, recognition may aid
the Cuban junta in placing few bonds
in the United States, but it will at the
same time assure the successful issue
of our proposed new Spanish loan in
Paris, London and Vienna, and enable
us to carry on the war with renewed
vigor.
Personally, shall be glad. If rec
ognition comes, our position will then
be more clearly defined. 1t will work
q virtual abrogation of our special trea-
ty with the United States, place Yam
KEGS residing in Cuba in an identical
position before the courts with other
foreign residents, and / shall be trou-
bled less by constant complaints and
often ridiculous demands from Ameri-
can consuls. It would also relieve the
Spanish government of all responsible
ity for the destruction of foreign prop
erty not actually within the line OF
Spanish defenses, and further simplify
matters by assuring us the right to
board and search American vessels
whenever suspected.
Continuing, the captain-general ex-
pressed delight at the proposition to
have eensuls here furnish free trans
portation to all Americans who desire
to 90 to the United States, but said he
considered the plan to distribute to res
ident Americans as an indirect and I'M
justified attempt to interfere in local
AFFAIR."

Floods In New Mexico.

Denver, May 27.-A special to the
Republican from Santa Fe, N. M,
says: Rio Grande food waters have
inundated part of the town of Socor-
70, flooding the railroad yards, and
scores of farms and orchards are under
from one to three feet of water. The
damage will be very heavy to fruit
trees and crops. Many settlers have
been driven from their homes, and
scarcely hope now to save even their
fine orchards, as it is raining along the
valley again tonight, and everything
points to a continuance of the foods

and night to protect it's tracks.

The Rio Grande Levee Broke At III
Paso. Flooding the City.
Dallas, Tex, May 27.-A special
from Ell Paso says that at 10 O'Clock
this morning the fire alarm aroused
the people in the lower part of the
city. The levee had broken and the
flood waters of the Rio Grande were
rushing through the city. The levee
that broke was on the canal on Stanton
street. The river has reached it's high
est point since 1891. In few minutes
large force of men was at work try
ing to check the rushing waters with
sacks filled with sand, but second
break above backed up the water on the
workmen, and they had to retire.
The Texas & Pacific railway officials
realizing that hundreds of families
were being flooded from their homes,
backed in a large number of empty
freight cars for the accommodation of
the homeless. Not less than 1870
houses were swept away, and tonight
several hundred men are at work on
levee. They have thrown up an en-
bankment to check the advance of the
food, which is running over one of the
International steret-railway bridges.
The splash Of the walls of falling
houses is mingled with cries of
atfrighted women and children, who
are driven from their homes and NOV
ing to the foothills of Mount Franklin.
Several families are now housed in
freight-cars, standing in sea of water.
Should the improvised levee on STAN
ton street break tonight the water will
food the business portion of the city.
The ringing of the fire bell this
morning saved the lives of many peo-
pie. who were asleep, ignorant Of their
danger.

Cubans Attack a Spanish Military Train
Killing and wounding Fifty.
Havana, May Eft is reported
from Santiago de Cuba that Spanish
military train from Ell Cristo to Songo
was attacked by 600 insurgents. The
train was carrying troops to reinforce
the garrison at Songo. At the first
shot of the insurgents the train stop
ped, and Lieutenant Lafuente, who was
in command of the Spanish troops, Or
dered his men to fire on their assail-
ants, but at that moment several dyna-
mite bombs which had been previously
placed on the track by the Cubans ex-
ploded, killing Lieutenant Lafuente and
10 Spanish privates and wounding 80
others. The locomotive and one car
were destroyed by the explosion.
The Spaniards surrendered and the
Cubans, after plundering the train and
securing large supply of provisions
and munitions of war, burned the re-
naming cars.
Sixty Spanish soldiers and 200 per-
sons, employees of the railroad and off,
GERS of the Spanish government, were
made prisoners. Two hours later they
were set free by order of General Ca
lixtO Garcia.
The Spanish military commander of
Songo was afraid to 60 to the aid Of the
troops, but waited until they were re-
leased and the insurgents were far
away. Then he sailed forth, and near
the town killed two countrymen, one
Of them non com Blatant and the other
Cuban of his own forces. He then
returned to town, reporting victory
over the insurgents.
The Only Solution.
New York, May 27.-Nathan Page,
of Washington, the lawyer who con-
Quoted the Moro claim against Spain,
has just returned from visit to Eng
land, France and Holland. He was
sked about the concensus of opinion
N Paris and London concerning the
war in Cuba. He said:
''In Paris 1 met many highly edu-
Gated Spaniards, and they do not see
how Spain can retain Cuba. They
and others in Europe think it is only q
question of time when Cuba will go to
the United States. They do not see
any other solution of the problem, and
they do not seem to grieve over the sit
uation.

CAUSED BY oARELEssNEsa
There Arc Thousands OF People suf-
fering To-Day Who Have Not tho
Slightest Occasion to DO SO.

Some OF the most deadly diseases from which
humanity is a common sufferer arc caused by
the entrance into the system. and the subsequent
growth there, Of certain Heterogeneous, or
germs. These diseases have been aptly called
Nth diseases" because the germs which cause
them flourish most luxuriantly In all sorts Of or
ganic dirt, or filth. Such germs commonly occur
in water drawn from q contaminated water sup
ply. or in Ice taken from contaminated ponds or
rivers. Among the most common Of germ dis
cases are typhoid fever. diphtheria, cholera,
cholera infantum, and yellow fever. Physicians
all agree that from impure wator the greatest
danger arises, And when It is remembered that
tho only really pure water ia distilled water,
that Ice water 10 often prolific In disease
germs, and hat even boiled water falls TO purify
1t, II is at once seen how greats the danger that
confronts us.
The best advice which can be given to peo-
pie, whether. residing in city or country, Is TO
mako use of some pure, effectual stimulant
which will keep the blood in healthy clrcula-
ton and prevent contagious germs getting n
stronghold on q s~tagnant system. Nothing will
do this so well as pure whiskey, and the pure
whiskey, best known TO the world is Duffy's
pure malt.
Not only will. it keen the system in vigorous
condition., but It's addition to even contaminated
water will render Ii harmless.-Adv
