May Save the Maria Teresa Yet.

Later advices report that the Maria
Teresa, instead of going to the bottom
stranded on Cat island, in the Waiting
group. The navy department sent or
ders to the Vulcan at Norfolk and the
Potomac at Santiago to leave imme-
diately for Cat island, and if the YES
sci is found to do everything possible
to save her. The expedition will be
under command of Capt McCalla, who
commanded the Marblehead in the
Spanish war.
The report that the Maria Teresa had
stranded off Cat island is confirmed.
The natives of surrounding islands,
locking upon her as derelict- carried
away her supplies and nearly every
thing else movable. The British
authorities al Nassau announced that
they would take possession of the YES
sci as aderelict. The American consul
has protested against this course.

The schooner Lena Nelson, with
lumber from Manistee to Benton liar

Spanish Troops in Cuba MutIny

Reports from Puerto Principe and
Nuevitas, Cuba, say that 1000 regular
soldiers mutinied, demanding their
pay before embarking Spain. About
1000 armed soldiers presented them
selves in front of the palace, calling on
the military governor, Emilio March,
for their overdue pay. Thereupon,
Gen. March drew his sword and ordered
them to disband. The soldiers, how
ever, refused to obey, and some of
them threatened the life of Gen.
March, who returned his sword to it's
scabbard and told them to kill him If
that was their purpose. The soldiers
then Gained down somewhat and said
they only wanted their money before
embarking. Gen. March promised
them that they would be paid and the
soldiers returned to their quarters.
The cruiser Alfonso XIII, and the gun
boats Condo de Venadito and Infanta
Isabel have proceeded from Havana for
Nuevitas to compel the soldiers to en-
bark, after which they will proceed to
Gibara for a like purpose.
a more serious AFFAIR was that at
Havana where the soldiers of the Orden
Publico started revolt because of ar
rearages and for two days a serious
outbreak was threatened. Gen. Blanco,
however, pacifed them with portion
of the money due them and promised
the rest as soon as possible. Gen.
Blanco then ordered all the foot and
mounted regiments of the Orden Pub
leo to be disbanded. AS originally
planned, it was intended that the
mutiny should have extended to the
Gardia Civil and the artillery regulars,
and it would in that event have as
sumed much graver importance and
might perhaps have inaugurated a
reign of terror and bloodshed in the
island.

TOOK HIS ADVICE.
A Veterinary Surgeon of Battle Creek
Tells About IL.

ABOUT
How many times in life few words of
good advice, coming from friend one
can depend upon, will save us hours,
perhaps months, of misery. The fol-
lowing which comes from Battle Creek
will interest our readers. DR.. Oliver
Guiteaux, Veterinary Surgeon of that
city, well-known man there, as well
as in Kalamazoo and Marshall, speaks
of his experience with the little con-
queror and the result of few timely
words of advice. He says:
Il was standing in Amberg & Muir
phys drug store in Battle Creek one
day when a friend of mine came in and
asked for a box of kidney pills. After
he had made his purchase l said quietly
to him, You have made a mistake in
buying those. His reply was, How is
that?' said 'Doan's Kidney Pills are
worth all the others put together As
he wanted my reasons for thinking SO
/ told him that my kidneys had both
cred me for years, that / suffered from
backache until l could scarcely stand
it, that l had nearly every symptom to
be found where the kidneys are af-
fected, that / had used remedy after
remedy including box after box of the
one he just purchased, and that until
used Doan's Kidney Pills might have
taken as many spoonsful of water, in
fact, think some of them hurt me- A
couple of weeks after this met him on
the street, when he said: Doc, Doan's
Kidney Pills are just as you repre-
sented. After using the box about which
we had conversation in Amberg Il
Murphy's drug store / was as bad as
ever. then procured Doan's and stuck
to their treatment until they cured me. "

A CRIME AGAINST HEALTH
The Use OF Alum In Food.


Recent investigation shows that the
stores are largely stocked with baking
powders which contain alum, the in
furious ingredient which the Iowa and
Minnesota State Boards of Health have
so strongly condemned. England, Ger
many and France have laws prohibit
ing the use of alum in bread, and the
States of Minnesota and Wisconsin
forbid baking powder containing alum
to be put upon the market unless the
words this baking powder contains
alum" are printed upon the label or
every package offered for sale. This
is the danger signal which the law
throws out for the protection Of the
people. Yet many Of the makers or
alum baking powders such as the
Calumet" while keeping away from
Minnesota and Wisconsin, have the
effrontery to offer their condemned
powders to consumers here. These
alum powders are frequently labeled
pure" "best in the world" none so
good" or with some other equally mis-
leading catch phrase.
Below will be found partial list or
