cording to Captain Gronmyer, of the
steamship Castillo, from New Orleans
to Hamburg, which it now coaling
here, there is net work of mines in
Havana harbor Three years ago, he
says, his vessel was about to steam
into the harbor when he was signalled
not to enter. A pilot boarded the
ship and explained that engineers
were planting mines and that it
would be necessary for him to wait
several hours before preceding into
port. Captain Gronmeyer was then

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 1t Is.

Constipation is a failure of the
bowels to remove the sewage of the
system, which causes the production
of poisonous gases that are absorbed
in the system. The Consequences of
constipation are numerous and in
clude biliousness, jaundice, indiges-
tion, loss of appetite, headache,
dizziness, depression, nervousness,
backache and many other troubles.
Constipation probably causes one
half the the sickness of the world.
!, The remedy for Constipation and
all its consequences is agood cathar-
tlc; and good cathartic does not
mean physic that will rack and
strain the system and leave the patti.
ent weak and exhaustged. That is
the kind of cathartic "your grand
father used" A good cathartic is
found in Hoods Pills. They are
gentle in action and yet thoroughly
efficient and their effect is to strength
en- the system instead of leaving it
weak. They soothe and allay irrita-
ton of the stomach, liver and intes.
tines, and gently and thoroughly re.
move the cause of the trouble. Hoods
Pills are rapidly gaining in favor.
Business men and travellers carry
them in their vest pockets and ladies
take them in purses. They are con-
veniently put up in small glass Walls;
thoy are easy to carry, easy to take
and easy in effect.

Good Advice to Bows.

You are learning trade, That is
a good thing to have. 1t is better
than gold. Brings always a pre-.
MUM. But to bring premium, the
the trade must be perfect-no silver
plated affair. When you go to learn
n trade. do so with determination to
win. Make up your mind what you
will be, and be it. Determine in
your own mind to be good work
nan.
Have pluck and patience. Look
out for the interest Of your employ
er-thus you will learn to look out
for your own. Do not wait to be
told every thing. Remember Act
as though you wished to learn. If
you have an errand to do, start off
like boy with some life. Look
about you. See how the best work
man in the shop does, and copy after
him. Learn to do things we'll. What
ever is worth doing at all is worth
doing we'll. Never slight your work
Every job you do is a sign II you
have done one in ten minutes, sec II
you cannot do the next in nine. Too
many boys spoil a lifetime by not
having patience. They work at a
trade until they see about one half
the mysteries and then strike for
higher wages. Act as if your own
interest aud the interest of your EN-.
ployer were the same. Good mechan
les are the props OF society. They
are those who stick 10 their trades
until they learn them. People always
speak we'll of boy who minds his
own business, who is willing to work
and who seems disposed to be
somebody in time. Learn the whole
OF your trade.-Ex.

Spain's Resources.
Lynchburg News.l

In view of tie possibility of war,
it is in order TO inquire what are the
resources of Spain for waging war
against the United States. The ter.
ritory of the kingdom of Spain is
197,670 square miles, or 76,6S6
square miles less than the State of
Texas, and this territory does not
produce food enough to supply the
population, which is, according to
the last census, l7,565,632, or less
than one.forth of the population Of
of the United States. now estimated
at 73.O00,000 IT is not claiming
too much to say that, man for man,
the American is superior to the
Spnniard IN n soldier The supe-
riority is partly explained by the
fact that, Americans, speaking gen
orally, are more inteligedt. In Spain

statement of comparative resources
it is manifest TINT it would be mnd-
IL css in the Spanish government to
provoke n conflict with this country.
Spaniards may be very proud. but
they have sense enough to see the
meaning Of obvious facts. They
know that Spain, unaided, could not
maintnin the struggle against the
United States for long, and that IN
the end defeat would bo inevitable.
1t is well for Spain that tho gov
ernment OF this country has no de.
sire to go to war. If war comes it
must be brought about by the action |
of Spain. The United States gov
ernment does not desire to take thu
initiative, but if Spain forces war

His Significant Remark to somc Youns
Men Who Refused to Drink.
OF all that heroic group in which
Philips and Lovejoy and Garrison and
whittier and many others were shining
stars, there was no more unique inner
circle than what was known M "the

orators. but they were sweet singers
who were able to send the gospel Of
liberty into many heart that was
locked and barred against the most per-
suasive key Of public speech.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine.
and as such it is not liable to any form of
disease except by one of two ways. The
first way Is from imperfect action of the
kidneys. The second way Is from care
less local treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder troubles,
SO the womb. like the bladder. was
created for one purpose. and IL not doc

or disease, except in rare cases. 1t Is sit

der, therefore any pain, disease or incon-
venience manifested In the kidneys. back
bladder or urinary passage is often, by
mistake, attributed to female weakness or
womb trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily avoided.

A WIFE'S TALE OF WOE.
Mrs. Nellie Grose Makes Charges
Against Her Husband.

|
MIR. j. +. Gose, resident of Vari
ma District in Henrico, was arrested
yesterday by Constable Samuels on
a warrant sworn out by his wife,
Mrs. Nellie Grose charging him with
assaulting and beating her, and at
the county court he was bailed by
Justice Larus in the sum of 800 for
his appearance before him this morn.
ing.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Grose were at
the courthouse yester day afternoon.
where they were intervewedby Dis
patch man. The huaband who lived
for several years out in the State of
Washington, where he held the posi-
ton of Commissioner of the Revenue
said he married his wife without
first ascertaiuing uught abou. her.
He told the reporter that he answer
ed in matrimonial journal, and
thereby secured his wife. He came
east for her last December and on
the Goth of that month they were
married in Pennsylvania, and came
to Virginia to live.
"From that time on" said Mr..
Grose, "my life was made miserable" f"
He then exhibited sundry wounds
about his head and body which he
said Mrs GrOse. had inflicted. The
wife denied that the union was re.
suit of matrimonial advertisement
but declined to say where or under
what circumstances she met Mr.
Grose. She admitted having thrown
lighted lamp at him. having stahb
ed him with fork and pair of scis
sors, and haviI G thrown piece of
furniture at him, but each of these
acts, she sai5, was committed in
self defence.
The husband said lie hnd never
raised his hand against his wife un-
til she struck Lin in the face with a
lighted lamp, and then he smacked
her and gave her black eye.
Mrs Grose is a comely looking
little woman. When she was in
formed that her husband had been
released on bail she was indignant,
and expressed her Indignation to the
Magistrate, but subsequently, when
with her counsel, Dir, William II.
Beveridge, she was engaged in
drawing up petition for divorce,
she wept bitterly and said she loved
her husband. While she was weep
ing a message came from Mr.. Grose
that he was ready to go home, and
she started 10 accompany him. On
the road, however, just below Full.
ton, Mrs. Glose sprnng from the ve-
hcle and walked back to the city.
She came by the Dispatch Office and
informed the reporter of what she
had done, saying that she left the
vihicle because her husband was
again threatening her.

, SAW THE MINES
LAID IN HARB0R.
An Ex-Naval Officer Tells wha.
witnessed at Havana.
EXPERIENCE OF THREE YEARS AGO.
1t Is His Opinion That Wire

Newport News, Va, March 70
Special.-Captain Gronmeyer, mas
ter of the German-Ameri steam
er Castillia, which arrived here to-
day from New Orleans to replen.
tish her bunkers before continue
ing her voyage to Hamburg with
a cargo OF cotton, confirms the
!, statement that the Havana harb.
'ror is full of mines.
Captain Gronmeyer is German
and served his time in the navy
ofthat country. He has had ex-
perience in planting mines, and
talked intelligently on the subject
when seen by the Tines correspon-
dent tonight. Said he:
STOPPED AT HAVANA.
"When / first heard that the
Main had been blown up it called
to my mind an experience | had
there three years ago. was mas,
ter Of another sh ip then that made
frequent trips to Havana. l was
about to steam into harbor when
/ was signalled from Moro Castle
to drop anchor. a pilot came
aboard my vessel and told me that
marine engineers were planting
mines in the channel, ,and it would
be several hours before / could
pass in.
"I watched the work from the
deck. The mines we're put down
in blocks and wires were run from
shore to shore. SpectrumS or
looking glasses were arranged so
that all officer ashore could tell
when a vessel was over mine.
EXPLANATIONS.
"Spaniards are lazy people, and
it is my opinion that a wire rusted
, and allowed mine to be carried
: further into the harbor by a swift
undercurrent, or the wire may have
been cut by some designing per
son. This mine lodged under the
Maine. 1t might have exploded
in various ways.
"The harbor is shallow aud at
low water the bottom Of the ship
may have struck it. But the fact
that this occurred at 8 O'Clock at
: night makes this improbable.
Some one could have touched the
button ashore and blown up the
ship.
CAT any rate, l know there are
mines in the bottom of the Havana
hardOr."
