COL. YOUNG AND LUKENs CONFER

Virden, ILL.,, October 14.-Col. Young
visited the stockade during the day and
had consultation with Mr. Lukens. 1t
was at first arranged to continue the cor
oner's inquest at the town hall and take
the coal company witnesses down town
under military escort The order was
countermanded to by Colonel Young who
ordered the coroner to adjourn to the
stookade and examine the witnesses. Col
onel Young gave as his reason that it
would be needless irritation to the crowd
in town to parade witnesses through the
streets between files of soldiers. Last
night at the request of Manager Lukens.
Captain FervieI detailed a guard for Mr..
Lukins's residence. Colonel Young ap-
proved of this and when Manager Lukens
said that he was fearful some OF the str1 kers
in revenge for personal feeling against
him might attempt to injure his private
property he issued orders that a guard
remain az long as necessary. Colonel
Young agreed to the removal OF such OF
the wounded men at the stock ade as de-
sired to return to their homes.

GARCIA NEVER SAID 1T.

Havana, October 14.-The aide de ca mp
and secretary of General Calixto Garcia,
Compe de Ia Torrsnte, is quoted as saying
that the General has not accepted any
post from General Lawton or the other
American officials, that it is not true he
is making tour Of eastern Cuba advis--
ing the disbanding of the Cuban army. and
that there is no truth in the statement
that General Garcia is going to the United
States for the purpose of endeavoring to
raise a loan which he has no authority to
do. The aide de camp and secretary fur
ther asserted that Garcia had not denied
the legality of the actual revolutionary gov
ernment of Cuba nor had he accepted the
supremacy of the United States but Gar
cia had unofficlally expressed the opinion
that the present Cuban government, Ow-
ing to lack of members and personnel,
could not be considered legal, as quo
rum was impossible and therefore it's ac-
tions are unofficial.

good health is due to my using Paine's
celery compound, last winter and spring,
which made my blood pure and nerves
strong to resist malaria and keep me
| we'll. Very truly yours,
CORP ORAL JAMES o. BECKWITH,
Co. NJ, Fir =, Volunteer Infantry.
Secretary OF Stanton used to say
that the best dr4..lition of rest is change
of occupation. That may be true for
one in health, but sick person needs to
have his digestion regulated, his blood
purified and his nerves invigorated.
Paine's celery compound brings the sort
of rest the sick body requires through
sleep and nourishment.
Just as the great lawyer studies each
side and in every possible aspect, SO
] Professor Edward E. Phelps, M. D.. LII.
D.. of Dartmouth College, the discoverel
of Paine's celery compound, had studied
the nerves in health and disease, when
well nourished and when under-nourish-
ed, in men and women and children
years before he looked for the remedy.
| Paine's celery compound was the out
come of his entire professional life. A
| fitting memorial to life of hard study
and close observations remedy that the
world could not lose today, at any price.
Paine's celery compound calms and
eoualizes all the nervous tissues and in
duces the body to take on solid flesh. 1t
purifies the blood, as is so clearly shown
by the rapid clearing of the skin of all
evid ences of bad humor within. 1t is an
infallible relief for salt rheum, eczema
and all blood diseases.
The Portland daily press., 1898-10-15

The soldiers who did the most good
were those who kept well.
There were plenty of brave men who
were of little use when the time came,
because they took less care of their health
than they did of their musket
Malarial and other fevers soon pick
out the men much more unerringly than
the enemy's sharpshooters.
One set of men went about keeping
well in businesslike way, They took
Paines celery compound at the first indi-
cations of intestinal troubles, weakn ess,
or when fatigued and liable to fevers.
They used Paine's celery compound to
purify their blood and put their health
on firm basis as soon as they made mp
their minds to join the service.
Corporal Beckwith thinks there was a
great deal of needless sickness among
the volunteers. At Chickamauga many
of his mess mates followed his example
and fortified themselves against disease
by Paine's celery compound, and not a
man of them had malarial or fever of any
sort or spent day in the hospital.
Corporal Beckwith writes:
Camp Olympia, Sept. II, 1898.
Dear Sirs When l see so many of my
poor comrades coming home looking fit
only for hospital cot, [ give thanks to
Paine's celery compound for the fact
that went through army enlistment
without any doctor medicine, and am
today even healthier than when went to
Chickamauga, I firmly believe that this

ULTIMATUM ON CUBAN DEBT.

Paris, October lA-Commander Brnd-
ford, .. S. N. who b as arrived A0te
from Washington, was examined NM
morning by the American comm issien,
relative to the conditions prevailing so
the main features of interest In the xhik.
ippine islands. with which the COM
mander is well acquainted.
The fifth joint session of the two 9em-
missions was convened at two O'Clock
today.
Last Tuesday marked the Spanish pro.
sentiment regarding the Cu0 an debt.
1t is not unlikely that since Tuesdays
meeting the Americans have determined
upon an attitude towards the Spanish
proposition that the United States assume
the Cuban debt in whole or in part and
that 1t has been reduced to writing for
presentation to the Spaniards at today'a
noon session.
This session was two hours longer than
to the Spanish presentation of Tuesday
was submitted and read. An oral dis
cussion followed, occupying the time
uEtil about ten mtnutesspast six, when the
commissions adjourned until Monday.
1t is believed that the Spaniards SUBJ
mttted in their construction OF the proto-
col that 1t was just to consider Spain as
having equities fairly disckargeable BY
the American assumption of Cuban obli-
cations Il is not unlikely that the
Americans voiced the conviction that fair
equities to the United States in war ex-
penses were incurred blythe United States
and possibly, thoughinot positive ly.- the
Americans may schedule. the value OF the
battleship Maine as among the expendi-
lures possible of classification against the
so-called Cuban debt. o
However, 1t may De considered certain
that the commissions have arrived at a
point in the negotiations from which
henoeforth the joint sessions will be occu-
pied by oral discussions as we'll as by
written presentations of propositions.
The work is now thoroughly entered upon
though it is not likely that any segment has
yet been polished and FINISHED for place
in the final treaty.
The Philippine question has not ytt
been entered upon.
The Spanish ambassador, Senor Leon y
Castillo will give breakfast in honor
of the Spanish commission, on Saturday,
and the United States ambassador, Gen.
eral Horace Porter, will give breakfast
on Tuesday. at which NJ. Cambon. the
former French ambassador at Washing
ton, General Wesley Merritt and Com
mander Bradford will be present.

Bayonne, France, October 14.-Accord-

rigorous censorship has been revived there
since yesterday Senior Sagasta and his
colleague are said to be greatly concerned
regarding the demands OF the United
States government, which they assert not
only refuses to assume any of Spain s
colonial debts, but wants to take the
heavy artillery in Cuba and the floating
dock recently sent OF Havana.
The same advices say that the Madrid
Imparcial announces that the government
has oabled Captain General Blanco not
to turn over any further territory to the
4 Americans until the peace treaty has
been definitely signed.

Tugs Went Out But We're Unable to
Approach the vessel-Dead Bodies Are
Being Washed Ashore - Coast Boats
Watching for Bodies and Wreckage.
London, October H,-The Atlantic
Transport company's steamer Mohegan,
formerly the Cleopatra of the Wilson and
Turness and Leyland line, which left
London for New York yesterday with SO
passengers and crew of 100, is ashore
off the Lizard, between The Mancles and
the Lowlands. 1t is rumored that there
has been great loss Of life. A coast
guard message reports that the passengers
are drowning like rats.
Another account says bodies are wash
ing ashore, one being of lady, lasned to
o plank with both legs severed.
Particulars as to the disaster are diff
cult to obtain. 1t appears that when the
Mohegan struck. a gale was blowing and
the sea was running high.
Life boats put off from Lizard and from
Falmouth, one returning filed with pas
eengers. Several were drowned, however,
it Is reported, on the passage from the ship
to the shore. Another life boat saved six
persons.
gsThe coast at that point is extremely
dangerous and has been the scene Of
numerous wrecks. Some years ago there
was a movement set on foot to get a
lightship placed there, but it failed.
A later dispatch from Falmouth, says
the Mohegan foundered and was prob
ablysblown ashore by the heavy east wind
after her machinery was disabled.
All the Falmouth tugs went out, but
none was able to approach the vessel.
Later-A lifeboat has landed 80 of the
Mohegan's passengers and returned -or
more. One lady died after she was
brought ashore. Consider that the position
of the Mohegan is serious, and that as.
sistance is badly needed.
+. London, October 1880 a. m.-Accord-
ing to despatch just received from Faa-
mouth, out of the 200 persons constituting
the passengers and crew of the Monegan,
only 81 have been saved.
London, October 11-Only 81 have been
saved. This intelligence was forwarded
frol< she coast guard by telephone from
Falmouth. The coast guards are watch
ing for bodies and wreckage. The life
boats have gone to Port: :Houstook.
The steamer Moheaan (then the Cleopa-
tra) arrived at New York August IL last,
on her maiden trip fslm London. She
