The Surprise of All.

James Jones, of the drug firm OF
Jones & Son, Cowden, H., in speak
ing of DR.. Kings New Discovery, says
that last winter his wife was attacked
with la grippe, and her case grew so

Pana could do nothing for her. 1t
seemed to develop into hasty con-
sumption. Having DIR. Kings New
Discovery in store, and selling lots OF
it, he took bottle home, and to the
surprise of all she began 10 get better

bottles cured her sound and well. DR..

MISSION A PERELOUS ONE
Is in Civilian Dress and if He
Is Taken Will Be Pun
ished as a Spy.
First Dispatches to the War
Department Expected in
a Few Days.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, April 27.-First
Lieutenant Andrew S. Rowan of the
Tenth infantry, under orders from the
war department, was landed on the
Cuban coast somewhere west of San
tiago, probably before dawn on Mon
day. His Cuban guides and an open
sailboat were used. The guides have
not returned.
Lieutenant Rowan is en- his way to
the camp of General Calxlo Garcia.
He will represent the war department
in arranging for the cooperation Of the
insurgents in the invasion of Eastern
Cuba by the forces of the United
States. The time and place of invasion
will be controlled by events and the
character of Lieutenant Rowan's dis
patches.
The Work Very Dangerous
Lieutenant Rowan was detailed from
the bureau of information for this dam
gerous service-dangerous because, in
his civilian dress, he is liable to be
treated as spy. He speaks Spanish
and knows Cuba, having written a
book on the subject. Moreover, he is
nm expert map maker. Lieutenant
Rowan left Washington under instant
orders on April 9. He was directed to
wait here, prepared to 60 to Porto Rico
or Cuba. AS he went to Eastern Cuba
it is inferred that blow will be struck
there before one is struck at Porto
Rico. The expectation is that General
Calixto Garcia will dispose his forces
to cover a landing of United States
troops as prearranged. A courier with
Lieutenant Rowap's first dispatches to
the war department will probably
leave General Garcia's camp next
week.
