MeyIer n. n HusIncss Man.

Wcyler may be n bad soldier, but he
Is n very talented business man. He,
through his agents. in the past two
years, bought 11,OOO mules from the
United States and Mexico Mt about $50
apiece. and then sold them through
other agents TO himself rs represent
ing the Spanish government mt SIPS
apiece, making n clear profit of sos
n mule. With all allowance and labor
bills, all OF which were probably paid
by the poor government, the clear
profit must have been Ss00,OOO. Equal
ly shrcwd was his cattle syndicate.
The cattle concession was given to n
concern In which bc II said TO have
been the chief partner. They bought
cattle. both live and refrigerated, mt q
cents per pound. The consumption In
the city IL over 100000 pounds n day,
the profit over $4,000. and In 600 days
the total profit would be about $1,000
600. He IL also said TO have had n
large interest In the tobacco monopoly,
the flour trade. the potato business,
the wholesale cabbage industry, the
bottled beer commerce and the milk
routes of Havana. II Is no wonder.
therefore, that the people OF MANILA
say he sent home SG.0D0,O0O ana the
people of Havana that he transmitted

FOR himself. He has many poor friends

ARE MAD AT MR.. LONG.
NEW ENoLANDERs HARD TO
SUIT.
They Asked for warships and Got Thorn
and Now Their Summer Boarders Are
Scared Away.

Secretary Long is having bit of ex-
perience with an ungrateful republic
He is learning the truth of what Chris
topher Columbus wrote to the bank of
ST. George when the poor old man lay
dying in the convent of Las Cueyas,
near Seville. Said he: "To serve the
people is serving no one" Early in
the war, as will be remembered, the
frightened. They kept seeing things
ut night They imagined that every
vessel in the Spanish navy was headed
for their harbors and every time they
heard a gun so on they had "con-
niption flt." They took their tin boxes
out of the safe deposit vaults in Bos-
ton, Portsmouth, Portland and other
cities along the coast and carried them
far into the interior, beyond the reach
Of Spanish plunderers. One time when
the auxiliary cruiser Yankee went out
beyond Cape Cod to try her guns cv-
erybody thought the Spanish had come
for sure, and 1t took several days to re-
cover from the fright. The secretary
Of the navy sent the Minneapolis the
Columbia. the San Francisco, the Ka-
tahdin, the Prairie, the Yankee and
half n dozen more cruisers and gun
boats up there to patrol the coast, In
order to calm the fears of the people,
although he knew there was not the
slightest danger and that there was
not II Spanish vessel within 1000
miles.
BY keeping up n clamor the fright
encd Yankees got the ships, but they
scared away the summer boarders.
People said that II there was sufficient
danger to justify the maintenance of
u fleet of mcn-of-war to protect the
coast they would not take the risk OF
visiting the New England scashore re-
sorts, and thus very few cottages have
been rented and very few persons
have engaged rooms NJ the hotels. Nat
urally this has made the thrifty YAM
KEGS mad, and they are now laying the
blame Oh Secretary Long. They accuse
him of OVERRIDING the matter, like the
preacher who prayed for rain and
brought on cloudburst. They demand
that he shall call the ships away, be-
cause they frightcn summer boardcrs,
and he has done so, but they fear II Is
now too late. 1t will be an unproiit-
able season on the New Finland coast,
and the hotel keepers, the cottage own
ers, the laundry women, the fish
mongers, the bathing house keepers,

TORALNANTED TERMS
BUT THEY WERE REFUSED.
The Attack Began Sunday Afternoon and
VIII Bo Pushed Vigorously.

Washington, July 10.-The first
proposition from the Spanish COM
mander came yesterday morning
through General Shafter. The Ameri-
can officer cabled to General Alger that
General Linares offered to surrender
the city, on condition that he and the
troops were allowed to return to Spain.
Secretary Alger at once took the dis
patch over to the White House, where
1t was the subject of consideration,
and the decision was reached not to ac-
cept the proposition. General Shafter
was notified that nothing short of un-
conditional surrender would be consid-
cred by this government
Linares then asked that the truce he
continued for twcnty-four hours that
he might consider 1t and consult with
Madrid and Captain General Blanco.
General Shafter granted his request.
1t Is understood that further negotia-
tions have been conducted by Generals
smarter ana Linarcs, and that the lat
est terms proposed are Mt the White
House.
The extension of truce has been most
advantageous TO the American forces.
according to General Skaters dis
patch. lie has taken advantage of 1t
ny bringing up additional batteries, and
III making further preparations for the
assault on the Spanish forces.
The result of the failure of peace
proposals Is seen in the following dis
patch received late tonight.

A TRAVELLERS TESTIMONY.
What He Carried on the Cars
To Take when Travelling.

livery traveller knows that continuous
journeying on the railroad Is very apt to
derange the system in some way. In spite
of springs and soft seats there is contin-
uous jar and vibration. which acts upon
the nervous system, and produces results
varying somewhat according to the
strength OF the traveller or his predisposi-
tion to some specific ailment., The most
common consequence OF continuous car
riding is constipation. And this condition
Invariably produces headache, and tends
TO biliousness. ]. j. Converse, ST. Louis,
Mo-, found way to avoid the evil effects
of constipation, to which he was subject
when travelling. He carried with him
"thc pill that will" /" cure constipation and
all its sequent sufferinUs. This Is what
he says:

patton with me, but by using Dr,. ]. G,
