GEN. MILES AT CLEVELAND
To Oversee the Work on Big Cat
ling Gun.

Cleveland, March Z9.-Gen. Nelson A.
Miles, arrived in Cleveland from Wash
ingtOn today.
The general was accompanied by a
number of officers of the regular ar
my, who compose the board of ord
nance The party was met here by ex-
Congressman Cultivate, DR.. Calling
and Capt. Day. Among those with
Gen. Miles was Major Phipps.
The gentlemen were at once driven to
the works of the Otis Steel company,
where the big gun designed by DR.. Cat
ling is being constructed. 1t was for
of this gun that the board came to
Cleveland. 1t is expected that this
style of gun will be an important factor
in coast defense and the government
deemed it best to have skilled officers
on the ground. while the big gun was
being internally forged. Gen Miles
expresses himself as highly pleased
with the result of the work

ELECTIONS A FARCE.
Ballot Boxes Were Stuffed With On
voted Tickets.

Havana, March 29.-PrObably not any
deep interest was felt in Sundays cleo
tons for delegates to the cOrtes in Ma
drid in view of the graVer matters Oc-
cupying public attention. The election
however was as farcical as it was sup
posed it would be. In many of the dis
tricts of Havana not more than six
bOnaf1de votes were cast out of hum
dredS which were eligible. In one pro-
vince in the interior with q total of
over 1000 qualified voters the number
of votes pOIled was SO. The government
denies these statements and the censor
refuses to allow them to be sent direct
over the wire; but all the local papers
indicate the facts plainly intimating
that the ballot boxes were stuffed to
repletiOn with unvOted tickets.
It is also said openly here that Capt.
BlancO and the autOnOmists secretaries
should resign at once, it being claimed
that it is useless for them to wait for
the local elections of April "a and 20
when it is asserted the tactics of Sun
day will be repeated.
1t now appears that the results show
% aUtonOmists and eight conservative
delegates were chosen, the conservative
candidates losing in ArtemiSa and Car
denas in spite of an agreement to the
contrary entered into by the govern
ment. Sunday was a day of much sup
pressed excitement among the Ameri-
cans. Something strange seemed to be
in the air, while to those who were not
accustomed to reading similar stuff, the
yellow dodgers calling for the killing
of the American correspondents at 2
o'clock in the afternoon, seemed full
of deadly pOrtend. In fact the day was
very quiet, policemen with their rifles,
revolvers and swords being much in ev-
idence. Every one fears great events
will transpire in the United States
without the knowledge reaching the
Americans or the public in Havana
more rigid than ever on both the incOm-
ing and outgoing wires.

confident nor are they so reticent Such
people aver that if Havana is attacked
or blOckaded, and no stores are prOvid-
ed to feed the beseiged, the soldiers and
residents will be the first to rebel, even
to the extent of blowing up the palace
itself.
Everybody recognizes that there is no
food in the country districts, and it is
generally admitted that the insurgents
will keep the troops outside busy in
case of hOstiIties between Spain and
the United States. A Spanish banker of
prominence said to this correspondent:
1t is not hard to explain why the war
has lasted here so long. Corn costs So
cents a bushel delivered in Havana.
the contractors have been selling this
corn to the troops at one dollar, gold,
for a package of 25 pounds. Every Of
fetal has had his bit out of this, and
corn is only one item.
The end of the war to these men
means a played out gold mine.'

Consumption Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 w. Pearl St., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle
