from Gomez TO keep secret military

A THIRTY-HoUR BATTLE.
On the 18th Instant an engagement took
place between Cuban and Spanish forces
at Punta Algere, lasting thirty hours.
( over 200 Spaniards were killed. The
Cubans lost nine men. They were unable
to follow up their victory. owing to lack
of ammunition.
The messengers report that the Span
iards are terrifying Cayo Frances, and
that batteries and Notifications are in
course of construction all along the sea-
coast. They say that disease Is rife aiohs
the coast, but that the men In the interior
are healthy and in excellent condition
The Spanish troops, they say, are very

is no further source Of supply.
The stories regarding the relief through

Habana Version OF Our Operations in
Cuba-spanish Successes.

MADRID. June 2J.--2 z. M.-The Span
ish version of the American operations
in Cuba, received from official sources at
Habana. says Rear-Admiral Sampson con-
ferred during the week with the insur-
gent leaders Calixto Garcia, Rabi, and
sebreco with the object OF concentrating
a large force Of insurgents at landing
place. Sebreco met an American vessel
at Bayamito, received 2.0OO rifles, and
quantity Of ammunition, and safely con-
yeyed them 10 Garcia's posts, accom-
panied by a small force Of Americans
from the steamers.
"PERFECT SPANISH DEFENCE"
They then attempted to join Castillo,
at Bayurnao, but the Spaniards prevented
them, having organized such perfect
defence between Manzanillo and San
tiago that the rebels did not dare to risk
serious engagement with the Span
ards."
Continuing, the official report says the
insurgents expected that the point OF
Decentralization Of the Americans would
be devoid of defences."
AMERICANS CHECKED.
Then, a singular announcement is made
by the retreating spaniards, who assert
that they have Checked the American
advance on Santiago"
Another account Of the operations
from Spanish sources, asserts that the In
surgents attacked Baturnao and were
repulsed, with the loss Of twenty-five
killed.
The schooner Amapala has left Habana
for Mexico, it is announced, packed with
refugees.

Admiral Camara's fleet will not go 10

This move has made good impression
here.
Interest to-day centered in the meet
ing OF the Cabinet. 1t is believed that
the ministers favor overtures for peace,
but disagree as to the manner in which
they should proceed, and this may pro-

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The announce
ment from Madrid that the United
States has suggested peace conditions
with Spain was received here with great
interest, for the reason that the report
was regarded as a 'feeler," set afioat
with the distinct purpose of developing
the state of public feeling in America as
well as in Europe. There is no basis of
fact for the report, for when 1t was ex-
hibited at the State Department 1t met
a prompt and unqualified denial at every
point. No overtures have come to the
department from any responsible diplo-
mat. as yet, looking to the contamination

HOW TO REMAIN YOUNG.
Feed the Hard-worIing Organs ol Your
Body with Just What They Require.

Here are some important truths ex-
pressed by n well-known professor of
a New York medical college:
IAN Nature ever needs, or ever asks
for, Is a little help. She becomes over
worked-is it any wonder she needs
help?"
1.-THE heart beats night and day and
never stops. The lungs are always
working away like pair of bellows.
The stomach is constantly occupied; so
are the kidneys and the liver. You can
not give them a vacation, but you can
help them immensely. Those great
organs-the kidneys and liver--are will
ing to work, but they need food and
you can give II to them"
You can easily feed these organs,
and you win be surprised how much
better you will feel II you do SO. There
IL a discovery which Is an actual food
for the kidneys. II is known to
scientists and the world as Warmers
Safe Cure. BY all means try 1t. A lit
Tie of this remarkable medicine taken
three times day will produce a most
happy effect. Instead of being tired,
tagged out, Respondent and with little
ambition, you will grow bright. hopeful
and happy. Women, especially, need
n good friend Of this kind, and l know
Of scores of ladies who would not think
of being without this grand remedy to
help them when they specially need it."

Fire insurance companies Eeve all
sorts OF experiences, and their officers
can tell many curious stories. One of
the queerest fires fell within the BUSH
ness of the Connecticut Fire Insurance
company of this city recently.
A house was set on fire by bath tub
and the tub was set on fire by poul-
tlce. A man in a western city was suf-
fering from bad cold and his wife,
at the doctors orders, prepared poul-
tice for his chest. When she started to
put 1t on It proved to be too hot. Ac-
cordingly she took II to the bath room
and set 1t on the bath tub to cool.
This happened to be fine tub lined
with celluloid, which served as n sort
OF enamel The heat of the poultice
started the celluloid a-going and the
burning tub set things going generally.
The department was called out and the
house was well wet down. for which the
company had to pay. This, so far as Is
known. is the first instance on record
where a bath tub set a house on fire or
where a poultice kindled bath tub

the ramrod-like erectness of his car

iron-g gray hair marked him for the
slghtseers in the gallerys, but the eX-
perience must have been u painful one
for him.

that Engalls was to speak would have
filled the galleries to the bursting point.
