result that after the first volley the mob dis
spersed.

ct can hardly express my thanks for
what Hoods S~arsaparilla has done for me.
I was afflicted with s~crofula and tried
almost everything I could think Of with.
out benefit. I could not ride or walk. NV
heart troubled me very much and my limbs
bloated and l suffered with neuralgia. We
received papers in which there were advcr.
tisements of Hoods Sarsaparilla, and my
husband read some Of them and he urged
me to try 1t. Finally he procured n bottle
OF Hoods ~Sarsaparilla inc I began taking
1t. In q few days I began to feel better and
1 was encouraged to keep on. It did me so
much good that I was soon able to ride
and walk and do my homework. Since
then we have all taken Hoods Sarsaparilla
with great benefit, and It has helped us so
much we cheerfully recommend it."-MRA.

BRUzoN HELPED CUBA's CAUSE.

Havnua's Spanish Governor Protected . Pa
triot Organ which Attacked Autonomists.
One of the most interesting tales about the
situation in Havana since public order was dis.
turbed there by the riots which took place from
Jan. IL to Jan. Is was told yesterday by Senior
Ricardo Arnanto, who arrived in Now York
from that city on the steamer seguranca.
Sehor Arnanto was the editor of the news-
paper Fl Reconcentrado, whose office was the
first to be raided by the rioters. Senior Arnanto
and his editors, reporters, and printers narrow
ly escaped with their lives. 1t was the inten-
ton of the mob to hang them and to that end
ropes were carried by the Spanish officers in the
mob, but, having been advised of the attack,
they all got away in time. Sehor Arnanto
said yesterday that besides having his property
destroyed, $500. which he left in a desk in his
office, was stolen by the Spaniards.
Senior Arnanto is the Acknowledged President
of the secret Revolutionary society called the
Public Salvation Club. whose main object is to
propagate revolutionary ideas and punish
to the people and by boycotting them among
their countrymen.
He was also. he said. the secret correspondent
in Havana Of the insurgent newspaper EI Para,
published at Key West.
frado, Senior Arnanto said he had the secret pro-
lection of the Spanish Governor of Havana.
DtIo bOh JUDI iSluLoh.
Though u 4 member of the Junta Central of tho
.Autonomist party, Senior BruZon hates the other
members of the Junta, especially the Deputy at
tho Cortes, Senior Rafael Fernandez de Castro.
Gov. Bruzon. added Sehor Arnanto. was well
aware Of the failure of autonomy and wanted
to make:some capital among the patriots in an
ticipation OF the not distant day of their tri-
uniph. With that end he protected El Recon-
cenlrado. his good will was especially Sc
Castro, which Senior Arnanto was delighted to
make, knowing that to divide the Au%tononists
and excite their mutual ill-feelings helped tho
revolution. When danger came, however, tho
Governor deserted Senior Arnanto and left him
Havana" continued Sehor Arnanto, us a
hornets nest. The Autonomist Cabinet is hated
by the Autonomist party. The volunteers and
the incorporating Spaniards hate the Cover
nor.Gencral and the Cabinet. Tho Spanish
troops arc every day less to be trusted by their
Generals.
After the riots Gen. Blanco ordered Sehor
Arnanto's arrest. but in spite of the great vigil
lance Of the Spanish police the editor. disguised
as a sailor, took passage IN Havana on board of
the steamer Seguranca. He arrived here under
the name Of Nestor Primelles Varona.
