MONTGOMERY Is WITHDRAWN,
hut tho Change Was Not Made In Answer
TO spanish Protest.

TO spanish Protest.
A Washington special of Wednes
day says: Spain has protested against
our naval display in Cuban waters and
has asked what our preparations mean.
The protest was the outcome OF the
first official visit of Senior Bernardo to
the state department since his recsp-
ton there.
Assistant Secretary Of State Day de-
clined to give a definite response to
the Spaniard regarding the continued
preparation of war vessels in Cuban
waters, but in reply to the question as
to why we were buying war ships in
foreign waters he is reported as say
ing:
"We are purchasing war vessels In foreign
waters to take the place OF the bats'eshfp
that was lost In foreign waters"
No one believes at the capital for a
moment that Spain's demand that we
withdraw our ships from Havana will
be met 1t has become evident that
the prediction made by Quesada that
Spain would try to delay matters fur
ther by more promises of autonomy,
were we'll founded. There is now
hardly any doubt that the new minis
ter's special mission to this country IS
to secure our cooperation in a new
autonomy scheme for Cuba.
The Spanish minister's request for
the United States to withdraw our
ships from Havana is based on this
plan. The United States is informed
that the presence of battleships in
Cuban ports is a hindrance to Spain
in carrying ont her program Of per-
fecting autonomy. The official replies
of this country to these requests have
not yet been made, but it is not
thought that they will be such as to
propitiate Spain or further ieopardize
the interests of the Cuban insurgents.
The Fern sailed for Havana from
Key West Wednesday afternoon. She
goes to relieve the Montgomery as o
home for the officers engaged in super
vising the wrecking operations in
Havana harbor. 1t may be stated un-
equivocally that the Montgomery is
not withdrawn owing to any sugges-
ton from Spanish sources that her
presence is not desired.
It was the announced intention of
Secretary Long when the cruiser was
sent to Havana to keep her there only
so long as the Fern should be engaged
in the work of distributing relief
among the sufferers of eastern Cuba.
This task having been performed and
owing to the return of the court of in
quiry from Havana, there being fewer
persons to accommodate, the Fern,
which is much better equipped than
the Montgomery to assist in the wreck
ing operations, is returned to her posi-.
ton.

ASTHMA CURED.

What I suffered with Asthma for IL
years no human being can imagine.
From tue first breath of cold weather till
spring my life was torture. Frequently
/ would have two attacks in ~ hours,
when for three hours at a time ! could
scarcely speak or swallow, or get my
breath. Propped up in bed, unable to
lie down, coughing and strangling, dur
ing these paroxisms it seemed that every
moment would be my last. The best
doctors and all the celebrated Asthma
cures did not give me even temporary
relief. l used six S3.0e bottles Of one
cure, but the first relief obtained was
in using BtasiHIH Balm. That was in
September 1888. / used four 80 cent
bottles during the winter following and
did not have one attack. Nor have
had a single attack during the past
twelve years always keep Brazilian

An exquisite gem is the opal, its
beautiful creamy surface lit with red,
blue aud yellow rays scintillating in the
light and giving it place in the front
rank Of precious stones. Unfortunately
the opal has a bad name, and we know
the proverb about the dog with the un-
lucky cognomen. Superstition credits
this beautiful stone with bringing mis-
fortune TO its owner, and superstition
will win its way so long as the world
lasts The opal is peculiarly brittle and
sometimes crumbles away without any
apparent cause, therefore it has been
branded "unlucky. But let those
laugh who win, there are still some
who value opals for their worth and
beauty and who can afford TO make
merry at tho superstitious The opal i,
