X. L. Pierson. Mr.. Pierson, farmer
by occupation, and like all hard work

burdens the back must bear no light
load to carry. Few people who never
lived on the farm appreciate what l.
means to follow the pillow from sunrise
to sunset, but if the public in general
don't know how hard such work is, the
kidneys do. Long hours of work Of
any kind means long hours for the kid
neys, and they can't stand it without
rebelling. When the farmer comes
home tired out at night. if he only re-
allied that the tired feelings mostly al
ways came from tired kidneys, and that
the little wonder-workers, Doan's Kid
ney Pills, would right the wrong
brought on by over-work, life would
be easier for him. Read what Mr..
PieJso says about his experience:
noticed when stopped, lifted or changed
my position suddenly. early in the fall OF 1897.
that was always rewarded with sharp pains
across the small OF my back. and in the morn
ing was so lame and sore that could scarcely

Spain Says a state of War Exists,

Madrid dispatch state that decree
has been published which states that
Diplomatic relations are broken off
between Spain and the United States
and, the state of war begun between
the two countries, numerous questions
of international law arise, which must
be precisely defined, chiefly because
the injustice and provocation come
from our adversaries and it is they
who, by their detestable conduct, have
caused this grave conflict. We have
observed with the strictcst fidelity the
have shown the most scrupulous re-
spect for morality and the right of gov
eminent. There is an opinion that the
fact that we have not adhered to the
declaration of Paris does not exempt us
from the duty of respecting the princi-
Piles therein enunciated. The principle
Spain unquestionably refused TO admit
then was the abolition of privateering.
The government now considers il most
indispensable to make absolute reserve
on this point, in order to maintain our
liberty of action and uncontested right
to have recourse to privateering when
we consider it expedient. First by or

be composed of vessels of our mercan-
tile marine and with equal distinction

WAR NOTES.

Advices received last night state
the six hundred marines who have es
tablished camp on the shore ofGuanta-
namo bay, Cuba, were again attacked
from the brushes by Spaniards Sunday
night. The Spanish had body Of
sharpshooters, who kept constantly fir
ing at the Americans from the bushes.
Two marines were killed and four
were wounded. The loss of the Span
iards is not known, but the bodies of 10
of their dead were found. Thus far the
marines have had the better OF the
fighting, but the situation is grave and
they are exhausted with repelling almost
incessant attacks. They have little
chance to rest or sleep and the time of
the arrival of the relieving troops is IN
certain. We're it not for the protect.
ing guns OF the feet the marines would
be annihilated by the Spanish troops in
overpowering numbers from Santiago.
As it is, they can probably hold their
position, but they cannot move for
ward until reinforced by troops. The
fight was the first of the war in which
the Cubsns co-operated with the
American forces, and their cooperation
was not success. At one time, when
the marines were firing on small de-
tachment of Sps niards that made their
eanearencs q short distance from the
ca,G. ,ns CIbans began firing without
ordrrs and sent volley right among
the Americans. There were several
,--ow escapes, but no one was injured
in this way. -~ondent In Havana

over by Lieut., Col. Frederick Smith, of
the Thirty-third Michigan. The Of
ficers refuse to give out any of the par
ticulars of the trial. The three men, it
is said, are still confined in the guard
house, and their friends here feel that
severe punishment will be inflicted
upon them. 1t was reported on the
streets here last night that Private
Downey, after the trial, had been car.
ried to Washington, but the report
could not be verified.
Members of the Light Infantry who
are in the city to-day say that it is re-
ported in camp that Private DoWney
