THE PUBLIC LITTLE CONCERNED

London, August 8.-A special
dispatch from Madrid says:
Apparently the public is little
concerned about the progress of
the peace negotiations. There were
bull fights as usual to-day (Sun-

the rebellion began in 1895 and
the 100000 pounds (S450, 900, 00O)
spent since, and it suggests that
Spain should undertake to pay in
terest and redemption on the Gu
ban debt until the new West Indian
republic is in position to do so,
which, Ell impartial affects to be-
lieve, Cuba could soon do, when
its vast natural resources were de-
veloped under an American protec-
torate.

her children depends almost entirely upon
her general health, aud particularly upon
the health and strength of the delicate and
important organs that bear the burdens of
maternity. A woman has no right to dis
regard her own health, comfort ease and
happiness, she certainly has less right to
condemn her children to life of suffering
or an early death. That is what she does

A PLANT DESTROYED.

gainesville, Ohio, August THE
large plant of the Robinson Basket
Company, the largest grape basket fac
tory in the United States, was entirely
destroyed by fire this morning. The

insurance, $4,000. The company is
composed of Cleveland, gainesville and
Willoughby, Ohio, capitalists.
