CHASING DOWN RUMoRS THAT
tDoN'T PAN OUT
CARDENAS NOT B0MBARDED
The Alleged Reasonable Fireman of
the Puritan Is Simply 3 Bit
of Crank
Associated Press Special Wire


KEY WEST, Fla, April 29.-Today was
one of wild rumor and little action. First
came the story of the bombardment of
Cardenas by the ships of the fleet sta
toned there The rumors suddenly devel-
oped from nowhere. and they developed
Justify, acquiring an elaborate finish OF
detail and ornamentation. Then the mon
itor Puritan steamed into port, and Capt.
Harrington, the commanding officer of the
Cardenas fleet, gave the story its Quietus
by firm declaration that there had been
no bombardment of the Cardenas batteries,
incidentally adding that there were no bat
teries there and only one or two insigniti-
cant gunboats, which had given no sign of
oifense.
The Puritan was hardly in port, to which
she came for coal, when another pictur-
esque story appeared. This was that a
Spaniard was in the crew of the monitor
and had been detected with bunch of
skeleton keys attempting to pick the lock
of one of the powder magazines, with in
tent to blow up the ship. His name is
Yglesias, and he is eccentric and a trine
unbalanced, but was never suspected of
anything but the heartiest loyalty to the
United States, in whose navy he has been
for seven years. He was seen the other
day in one of the turrets by fellow sea-
man, who reported an attempt to break
open the magazine door, adding that cot
ton waste and rockets had been found on
him. The man was Immediately put under
restraint and court of inquiry has been
appointed to make an investigation. No
court-martial has been ordered or recon-
mended, and, while Capt. Harrington re-

The Cuban Forces

The Cuban Forces
NEW YORK, April "a special to the
Press from Key West says:
A big expedition of Independent Cubans
will leave here on Friday for the eastern
part of Cuba. The expedition is COM
posed of men who for some weeks have
been anxious to reach Garcias army with
the hope that they will be in at the wind
up of the eastern cities. portion of
them were in an expedition which was to
20 before war was declared. They re-
Trained from going only because OF the
strict watch kept on them.
Since war has been declared they have
been thoroughly organized. equipped and
drilled for service in the field. Many Of
them have heretofore refrained from 60
ing to Cuba because they were of more
service to this country aiding the Cuban
party by contributions. They will take
quantity of guns and ammunition and land
where they can connect at once with Gar
cia or General Menocal. The expedition
is not a filibustering expedition. The
Cubans in it desired to enlist in the United
States army but decided 1t was better 10
go in first. They will be followed by other
parties who are preparing to go and will
in reality be the vanguard of the Cubans
returning to fight under Gomez, Garcia
and others. In a few days the Nunez
expedition which will be sanctioned by the
United States and conveyed by gunboats,
will leave from some point on this coast.
Many of those now going believe that the
proper thing to do is to get across the
gulf before Spain's fleet reaches this side
and thus guard against possible accidents.

prevent any further disclosure of the plans
of campaign, Secretary Alger this morn

bureau chiefs of the War Department and

Weyler Wants Action
MADRID, April %, $3.50 p MIN the
cortes today Gen. Weyler in a clear voice
and amid marked attention from the whole
house and the galleries, apologized for pro-
longing the debate, pleading that he could
not allow one opportunity to pass of de-
tending himself against criticism. With
much warmth and sternness he defended
his political and military acts of severity
in Cuba, showing that he deemed them
vitality necessary and that they were JUS

much was this the case, he declared that
had he been allowed six months longer he
would have entirely crushed the insurrec-
ton and could have realized the promise
he made to Senior Canovas del Castillo that
by April, 1898. he would be in a position to
offer him $4,000 veterans to attack the
United States.
General Weyler severely criticised the
home rule policy in Cuba and the time
selected for decreeing it, and he concluded
with a passionate appeal for display of
energy, urging the government to take the
offensive vigorously on both land and sea.
as remaining on the defensive was "the
worst possible policy with such an enemy"
The Duke of Tetuan and Lieutenant Cen
eral Azcarraga declared that the Conser-
vative party always approved and accepted
the responsibility for the acts of General
Weyler in Cuba. These declarations af-
forded Senor Moret, secretary for the col
onies, an opportunity of avoiding debate
with Weyler, Senor Moret declaring that
such course would be unavoidable at
present and would better be left for "a
day when statesmen can find time for dis
cussion.'

CATARRH OF The STOMACH.
A Pleasant Simple, But Safe Efectual
Cure for It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incnrablc.
The usual symptoms are a full or
bloating sensation after eating, accom-.
panied sometimes with sour or watery-
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing; headache, tickle
appetite, nervousness and a general
played out, languid feeling.
There is often a bad taste in the mouth,
coated tongue. and if the interior Of the
stomach could be seer it would show a
Shiny, inflamed condition.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to Torment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy diges-
ton is the one necessary thing to do,
and when normal digestion is secured
the catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed Of Diastase,
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden
Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can 10Y be found at all
drug stores under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia tablets, and, not being a
patent medicine, can be used with per.
feet safety and assurance that a healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will fol.
