MINES IN HAVANA HARBoR.

An English Expert Tells of the Purchase
by Spain of Powerful Engines of De-
struction.
London, April "Details have been
obtained of the manufacture of subma.
rine mines in London for Spain. A
man whose cards describe him as being
an electrical engineer and whose name
has been forwarded to Washington,
says he sold to Spanish officers in Lon
don several years ago large number
of mines, eight or ten of which were
placed in Havana harbor.
Lieut.. Commander Colwell, the Uni
ted States naval attache, has investi-
gated the matter and has made a
report on the subject to the United
States government. The facts learned
strongly tend to show that Havana
harbor was mined and they unques-
tionably prove that Spain purchased
mines for that purpose. The firm of
Lattimer, Rhodes & Clark, electrical
engineers, during 1SS7-S filled large
order for Spain for lot of mines in
which were used 141! tons of gun cot
ton. The work was directly under the
surveillance of Fernandez and Busta-
mente. The latter was then the head
of the Spanish torpedo school. BY
order of these officers the mines were
divided into four consignments, for
Havana, Ferrol, Cadiz and Cartbagena.
The mines were manufactured under
the direction of j. p. Gibbons, after
Gibbons patents which are described
in Siemens' book on torpedos and
mines. Gibbons, who furnished tc
Colwell a written statement of the
| above facts and outlined his theory OF
the explosion which wrecked the
Maine, was then employed by the firm
as superintendent of the torpedo de
nartment.

A Dyspeptic's daily diet.

Dyspepsia is one Of the most prevalent Of
diseases. Thousands of people suffer from
1t in more or less aggravated form. Few
diseases are more painful to the individual
or more far reaching in their effects on
human life and happiness. What the dys-
peptic needs is not local treatment, not
mere temporary stimulus. The real need
Is the toning up of the entire system. For
tify the system and it will do its own fight
ing, and promptly eject any intruding
disease. The success of DR.. Ayers Sarsa-
parilla in curing indigestion and dyspep-
sia is due to just this quality which 1t
possesses, of renewing the vital forces,
repairing the waste and loss of the body.
The ordinary treatment brings the food
down to the level of the weak stomach.
DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla puts strength into
the stomach, and brings it up to the level OF
the strong food fit for men. 1t does this
by strengthening the entire system. The
stomach cannot stay weak when all the
other organs are gaining strength. What
DR., Ayers Sarsaparilla will do for dyspep.
sia is best illustrated in cases like that OF
