DISASTROUS STORMS FELT
In Cuba-The Spanish Medal Commemorative
Havana's Blockade Designed.

Havana. Oct. 1S.-Advices received
here from Trinidad, province of Santa
Clara. say that great damage has been
caused there by the recent storm
Many houses We're swept away. eight
persons We're killed and a number Of
cattle were drowned by the overflow
of the river. The design for the Span

ade Of Havana has been selected. 1t
bears the Latin motto ''Charitas Civil
tas." 1t will be of bronze.
The central telephone station here
was destroyed by fire last night in the
midst of a tremendous rain storm
The electric light wires came in con-
tact with the telephone wires and thus
caused the contlagration. For time
the flames. driven by the wind, threat
ened to destroy the adjoining building
which is occupied by the newspaper
La Luchau. The fire was mastered
before the flames spread to the sur
rounding houses. But there is no
communication by telephone in Ha-
vana, today. and there will not be any
for some days to come.
Owing to an announcement in the news
papers of the sale of some articles and
materials Dy the spanish ordnance de-
partment, the United States evacuation,
commissioners sent Capt. Griscom and
Capt. Brooks to attend the sale and take
notes of the articles auctioned. They
found included in the sale several NOR
tars, obuses and other guns.
The commissioners promptly sent a pro-
test to the Spanish evacuation commits
sioners, who replied that the articles re-
ferred to were useless for service and
were only being sold as old metal The
commissioners instructed Can't Brooks
to make thorough inventory in order to
know the exact number and nature OF
the articles in case a sale should be eff
fected despite the protest.

GET FLESH.
Get Strength. vIsor. Clear Complexion and
Good Digestion. Not W Patent Medicine,
But in Natures Own WAY.

Any honest physician will tell you
that there Is but one way to get in
creased flesh; all the patent medicines
and cod liver oils to the contrary not
withstanding.
Nature has but one way to increase
flesh, strength and vigor, mind and
body, and that is through the stomach
by wholesome food. well digested
There is no reason or common sense in
other method whatever.
People are thin, run down, nervous
pale, and shaky in their nerves simply
because their stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have
dyspepsia. but the fact remains that
they do not eat enough food, or what
they eat is not quickly and properly
digested, as 1t should be.
DR.. Harlandson says the reason is
because the stomach lacks certain d.
gestive acids and peptones, and de-
ficient secretion of gastric juice.
Natures remedy in such cases is to
supply what the weak stomach lacks.
There are several good preparations
which will do this, but none so readily
as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, which
are designed especially for all stom-
ach troubles, and which cure all diges-
tive weakness on the common sense
plan Of furnishing the digestive prin-
ciples which the stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give per-
feet digestion. First effect is to IN
crease the appetite and increased
vigor. added flesh, pure blood and
strength of nerve and muscle is the
perfectly natural result.
s;tuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest tonic known and will cure any
form of stomach trouble except cancer
of the stomach. May be found at
druggists at so cents for full sized
package or direct by mail from Stuart

There is difficulty in dealing with such

the mission at Victoria of Capt. Thayer
has been misunderstood. Instead of
going there to appraise the value of
the Canadian sealing fleet with a view
of the purchase of the vessels by the
United States government. the real
object of the mission is to be found in
the following statements: Questions
have arisen as to the value of the in

abolition of the pelagic sealing, and it
is quite probable that experts may

government should contemplate the

Col. Waring of the United States
Sanitary commission at Havana will
forward to Washington, tomorrow, an
extensive report dwelling particularly
upon the filthy condition of that city,
which is the real cause of all the in
fectious diseases. Some days have
elapsed since even the principal street
has been swept and the rubbish and
filth are rapidly accommodating. The
local officers take no steps to remedy
the evil. The trouble seems to be that
the work of sweeping the streets is let
out by contract and the contractor
claims that the city now owes him
$4,000 which. he adds, prevents him
from buying carts or mules and from
paying wages to continue the service.
