more pitiful sight than a mother and
her child, both captives and shackled in
dungeon, could not we'll be imagined.
There are thousands of mothers and their
babes who lie shackled by disease in the
dungeon of death.
Without knowing it, or having the faint
est comprehension of it. the fault lies with
the mother. Too many women enter upon
the responsibilities of wifehood and moth
erhood while suffering from weakness and
disease of the delicate and important or
gans that make wifehood and motherhood
possible. A woman who suffers in this way
cannot be a capable wife and a competent
mother. Before entering upon the duties
and responsibilities of these positions, she
should see to it that her health both gen
eral and local, is thoroughly restored. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best
of all medicines for this purpose. 1t acts
directly on the sensitive organs concerned,
1t promotes regularity of the functions,
allays irritation and inflammation, heals
liberation, checks unnatural and exhaust
ing drains and soothes pain. 1t tones and
builds up the shattered nerves. 1t turns
the dangers and pains of maternity into
safety and ease. 1t is a medicine that is
intended for this one purpose only and is
good for no other. Dealers sell it and no
honest dealer will suggest substitute.

On leaving the conference Secretary
Long said that nothing had been re-

By Either the Army or Navy Depart

Washington, July 11.-Up to mid
night no news from either the army
or navy at Santiago has reached the
departments, so far as the public was
informed. Though the possibility of
interrupted cable communication was
suggested as an explanation for the
lack of advices, it was announced at
midnight that nothing had been filed
at Playa del Este for the officials here.
The arrival of Gen. Miles and the
conferences between him and the
commanding officers of the army and
navy, is taken by some to indicate
that if fighting occurred to-day 1t was
not of a serious character. Officials
contend that a delay Of day or two
can only result in lettering the posi-
ton of the American forces.

Montreal, July 11.-Senor Du Bose,
late secretary Of the Spanish legation
at Washington, and Lieut. Carranza,
military attache, will leave Montreal to-
morrow night by the dominion steamer
Ottoman at the urgent and repeated re-
quest Of the dominion government.
The request was conveyed through Mfr.

sci for Messrs. Du Bose and Carranza
in the litigation following upon the ar
rest of Detective Kellert, on a charge
of stealing a letter from Lieut.. Car

Senior Du Bose on July I'd, expressed
his intention to leave by the next
steamer of the Dominion line, leaving
July 8. He was unable to do SO be-
cause he could not obtain passage on
her, and Mr.. Torrance wrote to the
government to the effect that there was
not a berth vacant. AS the govern
ment was so insistent, however, Senior
Du Bose decided to sail on the Domin-
ion steamer Ottoman, large freight
vessel, which has very little passenger
accommodation, and he goes On board
tonight. He is very indignant at the
treatment to which he has been sub
jected, and says the government will
hear from him again when the present
troubles are over.
On his arrival at Liverpool he will go

government before proceeding to Mad

CATTLE ARE SCARCE.
High Price of Corn Has Forced Sales
and Dem oralized the Business.

Denver, May 21.-"You need not look
for any large shipments of Arizona
cattle this year." said c. A. Rathburn,
one of the largest cattle speculatiors in
the southwest today. 1.-The reason is
that the cattle are not there to ship.
With the exception of a few herds al
ready contracted for, do not see where
cattle are coming from. have brought
up today the last head have contract
ed for, and I do not think there is an
other decent cow"
S. H. Barnum, the big Nebraska cat
tie man, who came in yesterday with a
load of Oregon cattle, tells the same
story There and 4-year-old steers
are almost a curiosity. Mr.. Barnum
looks for higher prices later on.
John Clay, jr., at the head of Clay,
Robinson & Co, is one of the best post
ed cattlemen in the country. In an in
terview Mr.. Clay said:
1.-THE war is having depressing eff
ect on cattle. The outlook is not at all
bright. In Chicago men are selling fine
cattle that they have been fattening for
months for ruinous prices. The effect
of the war has been to depress the cat
tie market. Money is tight and corn
is higher. With tight money 1t hard to
move stock cattle, and when any grade
of cattle is affected the others are af-
fected in a similar way.
1.-THE advance in corn has been bad,
too Men bought cattle when corn was
one price, meaning to fatten them and
sell, of course, with a profit But now
that corn is SO high they are losing
money. You see, if one fattens cattle
on 10-cent corn, and feeds 100 bushels
to bullock it means $40, but that same
100 bushels at 80 cents is a different
thing The margin takes all the profit
eff peace would only come, and come
quickly, 1t would help things wonderful
ly. Even the victory at Manila made
money a little easier, and if Sampson
could only overhaul the Cape Verde
fleet and destroy it money would be
made very much loosen. The only
meat products brought greatly into de-
mand by the war are pork and canned
beef The latter is made from the
common and poor cattle, of which there
is a great number, but this does not af-
feet the fat cattle, and it is the fat cat
tie that make the market"

THE NEW CUBA
Which is to Be Founded on the Wreck
of the Old by Americans.

New York, May 21.-Business men
who look beyond the era of bullets and
bloodshed in Cuba, are already specu-
lating on the commercial future of the
pearl of the Antilles.
Concerning the past and future pros
poets in the island, Mr.. Rabadan, of the
produce exchange, who has spent much
time in Cuba, says:
Prior to the present troubles in Cuba
our exports to the island amounted to
from 500, 000, 900 to $25, 900, 900 annually
In addition to provisions of all kinds
and flour, the exports included manu-
featured articles of almost every de-
scription. as well as machinery and To-
comotives.
1T was the gripping of this substan-
tial trade with Cuba" continued Mr..
Radaban, land a disgust excited among
American exporters by SPANS inabil-
ity to restore peace on the island, that
were largely responsible for the present
war.
when Cuba becomes an American
possession, the logical outcome will be
the opening of the Cuban ports to the
traders who follow closely upon the
heels of the soldiers and sailors. With
the entry of this peace army into Cuba
will begin the dawn of prosperity for
the emancipated island. But the dawn
will become bright daylight very slow
Machinery on the island is a thing
of the past. What is not rusting in the
fields has been broken and shipped to

an entirely new outfit of machinery and
this will mean an enormous business for
the American houses that export ma
chinery. But first, Cuba must have
the money to buy machines, and to get
the money she must first carry on a
hand to mouth trade with America, and
practice until she can afford to make
purchases of expensive plants. Cuba,
after the war, may be nkened to an i'll
used individual, who has just been res
cued by a powerful friend from perse-
cution and poverty and told to go ahead
and begin life anew, with the promise
of every possible assistance from the
benefactor.

save, beginning in a small way, and pa
tiently mount the ladder. 1t may be
stated at this point" says Mr.. Raba-
dan, that the prosecuted man is not
so poverty-stricken as some may think.
Much gold has been boarded by Gu
bans during the days of inSurrection,
and this will be brought out from its
hiding place when peace Is declared.
First, then, with peace will be opened
in Cuba a big market for the necessa-
ries of life. The nucleus of the Cuban
traders in the new days will be the
merchants who are ready to open shop
again just as soon as the substantial
government is assured in the island.
This government must be an American
one.
Most emphatically 1t cannot be an
insurgent government. The Cuban
merchS-ts will not settle down to bust
ness under an independent Cuban ad-
ministration. Careful legislative nurs-
ing will be required to enable the Gu
ban merchants to work out their own
salvation. The making of Cuban ports
free exclusively to American goods is
one of the many important questions
that will be left for President Mckinley
and the government to decide.

WHEAT CROP SAVED.
Rain Came Just in Time for California
Farmers.

San Francisco, May 21-Rain has
come and is worth hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to the farmers of Cali
fornia.
Many fields of wheat were saved
from total destruction. Barley, how
ever, benefited more than any of the
other grains. The barley crop will in
many sections be a fair one, and that
dependent on irrigation was saved just
in time.
The rain will afford water supply
sufficient to make a fair result. Before
the rain the wheat crop of California
was placed at $780, 900 tons and the bar
ley crop at 100000 tons. Well informed
grain dealers estimate the late precipi-
tation will add 100000 tons of wheat
and 10000 tons of barley to the crops.
Hay undoubtedly suffered considerably
The grain trade was surprised when it
became known that 10000 tons of wheat
will be shipped Immediately to Liver
pool via rail to New Orleans, thence by
water.
The time in transit will be decreased
from 80 to 100 days. The very high price
for spot wheat in Liverpool admits of
the rail rate to New Orleans, allowing
a handsome profit to shippers. Allow
ing for rail and ocean rates, California
wheat can be sold at $1.95 per Genital.
Already shippers are reaching out for
the Philippine trade, which gives evi-
dence of being matter of great i'm
pOrtance to the flour industry of the
Pacific coast.
Every inch of rain for the next ten
days will add many thousand tons to
the wheat and barley crops.

AGAINST AN ELEPHANT.
Unique Tug-of-War in the Chutes

San Francisco, May 21.-With the ele-
plant at one end of the rope and the
available crowd at the other there was
a most interesting tug-of-war at the
ChuteS today.
1t was advertised that the big ele-
plant would pull against 200 men, and
pull he did, although the load he drag
ged after him was not sized up.
Now, catch hold of the rope" was
the only order given, and the crowd
was quick to respond 1t was a small
crowd, on account of the rain, and the
rope was long one, so there was room.
for nearly everybody.
Bostick, the elephants manager, laid
hold of the big brute's ear and gave him
the word. He started forward and the
crowd on the rope followed slowly and
reluctantly. Then, as everyone yelled
the elephant stopped pulling and the
crowd hauled him backward for 20 feet.
Then he got hold again, and grunting
at every step, he gained foot by foot
while every man on the rope dug his
heels into the dirt and gritted his teeth.
