Washington, oct. S.-Senor Quesada,
representing the Cubans in Washing
ton, was at the war department yes
terday and called on Secretary MeilSle-
john. He presents a very distressing
picture of the conditions on the island.
"The inhabitants are starving" he
says, "and unless something is done
there will be very few people left. The
country is devastated, the people have
had no opportunity to plant and raise
crops. They have no money to pur-
chase supplies, and what food there is
in the island is beyond their reach. The
greatest suffering is in Santa Clara,
although II is very bad in Puerto
Principe."

DO 1T YOURSELF

You can tell just rs well as physician
whether your kidneys are diseased or healthy
The way to do is to take a bottle or glass tum-
bier, and fill it with urine If there is a
sediment-a powder-like substance-at the
bottom after standing day and night there
is something wrong with the kidneys. An.
other sure sign of disease is u desire to uriultc
often, and still another sign is pam in the
back. If urine stains linen, there is no doubt
that the kidneys are affected
Any and all diseases of the kidneys liver,
bladder and Of the urinary passages aud con
stipatiOn of the bowels ave cured by DIR
David Kcnnedys Favorto Remedy. Ihcr,
is no question about its being the hest and
surcst medicine in the world for such troubles
1t quickly relieves and cures Inability To hold
urine, and people, young or old, who take it
are not compelled to get up number OF
times during the night For putting an end
to that scalding pain experienced in passing

ned's Favorte Remedy. 1t corrects the bad
effects of whiskey aud bccr; is pleasant tC

disease may prove fatal. 1t is sold for one
dollara bottle at all drug stores. 1t is well

THE War Department gave Col.
Bryan and Gov Holcomb more than
they expected when it requested the
latter to decide whether the regiment
of Nebraska Volunteers, now at
Manila or that commanded by Col.
Bryan shall be mustered out of the
service. 1t was a clear case of beat
ing these two very cute politicians at
their own game. They expected the
War Department to name the regi-
ment to be mustered out, and were
prepared TO charge injustice no
matter which was chosen. Now,
they are bound to keep their mouths
closed, and Col. Bryan himself must
take the responsibility of deciding
whether his regiment remains in SER
vice or is mustered out

A WOMAN'S AGE.
DR.. GrccnC'S
NERVURA
Makes Youthful Looks,
Beauty, Health, VigOr.

The age of woman is not marked by
years alone. The pinched face, the
harsh voice, the angular form, the
hollow eyes, the irritable disposition
such are the indications of premature
age. Many women are Older at thirty
than others are at fifty. There are
many ills peculiar to women, and nearly
all of them are of nervous character
Possibly a delicate constitution may
have been inherited. Overwork ana
worry may have brought on condition
of exhaustion which no amount OF rest
can overcome. Lack of vitality means
weak or impure blood, and the slightest
exertion is more enervating to people
in such condition than hard and con-
tinuous labor to those in good health
Poor blood fails to give proper nutri-
ton TO the nerves, and triiing annoy
ances are soon magnifed. The slightest
noise becomes a serious shock. dis
agreeable word or a fancied slight is
looked upon as some great sorrow
Headaches become frequent Neural
giac pains are an almost unendurable
torture. Dyspepsia comes on and IN
tensifies all other symptoms by further
impoverishing the blood and nerves.
Troubles, both physical and mental,
multiply until the climax is reached
in complete collapse.
This is the dark side. Life is full OF
darkness, but there is more sunshine
than shade in the world. Science has
come to the relief of suffering hu-
.nanity.

A Thousand Lost In Fire in China.

London, Oct. 7.-According to a spe-
cial dispatch from Shanghai a fire on
Sunday at Hankow destroyed over a
square mile of the city, including the
government buildings and temple. 1t
is feared that a thousand lives were
lost. Hankow is a treaty port on the
Yang-tse- Kiang, at the mouth of one
of its tributaries, 200 miles from the sea.
The city forms, with Han-Yang and
Woo-Chang, the capital Of Hoo-Po, all
in sight of another and separated only
by the river, one Of the greatest com
mercial centers in the world. Their
united population is estimated at s.
600 900

FINANCE AND TRADE.


4 Fair Gain over All Previous Recs
ords For this week of the Year.
New York, oct S-Bradstreets re-
view Of trade says with the excep-
tion of some parts OF the south, where
heavy storms and yellow fever with re-
sulting quarantines check distribution,
n very large business appears to be do
ms though complaints of narrow mar
gins OF profit are well nigh unanimous.
While the bank Clearings of Septem-
Der point TO a slightly smaller business
done the country over than one year
ago. this weeks figures point to fair
gain over last year, and therefore over
all previous records for this week of
the year. The volume of distribution,
as whole, is well ~ to or above that
reported a year ago Tn most sections,
and therefore far in advance of re-
Gently preceding annual periods. As
for some time past. the most activity
is perceptible in the west and north
west and on the Pacific coast, par
ticularly at Puget Sound and Columbia
river points 1t has been a carnival
and fan celebration period at num-
Der of western cities this week and a
resulting large distribution, both re-
tail and Wholesale, is reported. Az
leading eastern markets recently IA
vorable reports are fully maintained.
II. O.. Dun Il Co.'s review says: II
can do no good to disguise the fact that
the large eastern advances on WOO
to be held for higher prices has helpec
to retard the natural decline in thai
| product. The truth is that demand
| for goods is not helped by high prices

the socialist convention here yester-

reichstag, referring to Emperor Will
iam's anti-strike speech, said: What
little monarchical sentiment survived
among the proletariat has now been
definitely killed. We must organize an
opposition. We shall be cowardly dogs
If we leave unanswered the insults
heaped upon us. The emperor deems
it right to throw down the gauntlet,
and we have the courage to pick it up"
This remark was greeted with tre-

convention resolved to call protest
meetings everywhere Immediately af-
