Defeat Both American Sailors
and Soldiers.

HAVANA, June 2.-Admiral Cervera,
it is reported here, was not at Santiago
de Cuba Tuesday during the lombard.
ment by the American squadron. Had
he been there the Spanish war ships
would have entered the combat against
the Americans, confident of a victo-
rious outcome. The Spanish troops
have orders to make no energetic re-
distance, according to circumstances,
with a view of facilitating the landing
of American forces. so that the latter
may go into the interior of the coun-
try, where the Spanish are convinced
they will be able to defeat them.
The Spanish army and navy are
anxious to measure arms with the
Americans, and are hoping that
propitious occasion may soon pres
emit itself, trusting for the result to
the courage of the Spanish soldiers and
sailors, to their better organization
and to the greater skill of their COM
manderS.

"a Clog to Prosperity as Well as ComfortJ
The village which has placed its streets
in perfect condition and has neglected
the highways leading thereto, has ar.
ranged, like the lord of the manor, tc
live in seclusion.
Has the village all it requires? Does
it depend upon anything or anybody for
its existence, growth and prosperity
Is it not, in fact, most dependent? Does
not every village depend upon the ex-
tent of the accessible area of which il
is the center and metropolis, and the
prosperity of that area?
The village cannot shift the burden
upon the farmer, nor the farmer upon
his brother farmer. Each is interested
and the contiguity of the highway is
but an incident. Suppose the Erie rail
road were abandoned; whose loss would
be the greater, that of the farmer living
within one-half mile, or the one mih
distant?

a LITTLE HISTORY.

Illinois was admitted as state OF the
union December 3, 1918.
Juan Ponce de Leon discovered the
coast of east Florida in 1912.
In 1862 war broke out between Spain
and Great Britain. The English took
Havana after a siege of two months,
and secured an immense booty.
The treaty of Utrecht in 1913, which
secured the throne of Spain to French
princes OF the house of Bourbon,
brought new era to Cuba. Tobacco be-
gan to be cultivated. Up to that period
the contributions Of the island to the
Spanish exchequer had been through
the price paid by traders in Seville and
Cadiz for commercial privileges.
1t was intended that the country
granted by the charter of Charles I. in
his patent to Lord Baltimore, June 80,
1882, should be called ''Crescentia," but
when presented to the king for sigma
ture, in conformity to his wishes the
name of the province was changed to
that of Terre Mariae, "Mary's Land, in
honor of his queen, Henrietta Maria,
daughter of Henry ". of France.
When Maria Christina took the oath
to be faithful to her duties as queen
regent of Spain, in 1855, the cortes pre-
sented touching scene. She stood in
deep mourning among men, most of
whom were clad in brilliant uniforms,
and in low voice, in profound stiffness,

DR.. Hayes, of Buffalo, N. Y, who is rapid.
~ becoming known all over the civilized
world from his ability to cure Asthma so
that the sufferer stays cured, says that his
success where others fail is due largely to the
fact that he declines to use symptom drugs,
which merely suppress the symptoms and
leave the cause of the disease untouched, but
employs natural alternatives and tonics,
which build up the digestive powers, i'm
prove the assimilation of the food, give the
patient better blood and more of it, out of
which to build up healthy body; and thus
by changing the very type of nutrition and
changing the constitution, he removes the
cause of the disease and cures to stay cured.
This is a very interesting line of thought for
those who suffer from Asthma and any who
desire to know more about it can get Dr.

titled asthma and Hay-Fever Cured to

IA The Monitor, a newspaper published at

to it's truthfulness, consequently a close
watch WIS kept ON the case for two years and
the original statement has now been com

Mr.. Petch had been hopeless paralytic
for five years. His case has had wide atten-

take solid food. Doctors called the disease
live. The Canadian Mutual Life Assoca-

THE PRICE OF BREAD

MUCH SPECULATION AS TO THE
EFFECT OF WAR ON THE STAFF
OF LIFE.
Since the recent rise in flour at the
news of a declaration Of war there
has been much speculation as to how
it would effect the price of bread. No
news OF an increase in retail prices
has appeared and this has created
agreeable surprise.
The facts are that many OF the pro-
ducers about town are cutting off in
the weight Of each loaf so that they
can still wholesale to the grocers at
seven loaves for a quarter, the store
keepers thus being able TO stiA retail
for five cents per loaf.
George II. Huber, the West Side
baker. was seen at his store at Second
and Parrish Saturday night, and he
stated that he is and still intends to sell
his bread at five cents retail and fouI
cents wholesale, and that each LOAF
weighs one pound.

place short in weight" said he, "and fol
that reason, every loaf is labelled. We
