ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Prince George County Youth Shoots
Himself fn the Breast.

Prince George, County Youth Shoots
Himself in the breast.
Daniel Mercer. nineteen years old, living
in Prince George County. Maryland, shot
himself in the left breast yesterday MORN
ing. He was put in a wagon by his uncle
who started to drive with him to Wash
ington.
At Bennings the wagon broke down and
there was danger of Mercer dying before
medical aid reached him. A telephone call
was sent TO police headquarters and the
police ambulance was sent to get the
injured man. He was brought to the city
and taken TO Providence Hospital, where
il was discovered that the bullet had en-
tered just above the heart, but had not
made a necessarily, fatal injury.
Nothing could be learned about the cir
cumstances of the shooting except that
the wound was self-inhicted.

A VETERAN ON INVASION.
General Buckner Thinks Hasty Action
Should Re Avoided

Should Re Avoided.
New York, May 3O.-Gen. Simon Bolivar
Buckner, of Kentucky. said last night
that in his opinion it would be four
months before the United States Army
would be prepared to invade Cuba. Gen.
Buckner is a veteran of the Mexican and
civil wars. and is now one of the visitors
at West Point. He visited Washington
on Saturday.
Judging by the experience which the
country has had in the past he said.
1T will be at least three or four months
before the Army is in proper condition
In my opinion our experience demon
strates the correctness of this view. In
the civil war. which began in April. no
serious conflict was fought until July,
though the armies were almost in con-
tact After the first battle. at Manassas.
1t took nearly the whole Winter to get
the troops into shape, so that with the
exception of Manassas, after the Fall of
Sumter, our armies were not ready to
act for eight or ten months.
Prior to that we had a war with MeXi-
co. 1t took twelve months to organize
an effective military force.
There is danger now that public clam
or may force the Administration to move
before adequate preparation has been
made. Such premature action would be
attended with great risks and might en-
tail very serious disasters"
"Do you regard the invasion of Cuba
as dfficult?" was asked.
ANY invasion of Cuba before the Span
ish fleet has been effectively disposed of
would be exceedingly dangerous, said
Gen. Buckner. The true policy while
we are looking for the fleet is to prepare
the Army, which is not ready. and can
not be ready for months. When the fleet
has been disposed of we can make a de-
scent on Cuba, and in connection with
the blockade soon end the war provided
we send large and efficient Army The
invasion should not be undertaken with
less than 80. 900 men, We must deal a
blow which will be effective and not pro-
tract the war with partial engagements.
Gen. Buckner said in conclusion that
the people should have patience and
cease to urge hasty action

Many old soldiers now feel the effect
Of the hard service they endured during
the war. Mr.. George S. Anderson. of Ross
vile, York County, Pa, who saw the
hardest kind of service at the front, is
now frequently troubled with rheuma-
tism Il had a severe attack lately" he
said "and procured a bottle of Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. 1t did so much good
that / would like to know what you
would charge me for one dozen bottles" ="
Mr.. Anderson wanted 1t both for his own
use and to supply ii TO his friends and
neighbors, as every family should have a
bottle of it in their home not only for
rheumatism. but lame back, sprains, swell
ings. cuts. bruises and burns. for which

MANAGER DRYB URG'S
Hotel at Camden Badly Damaged by
 Fire Saturday.

The kitchen of the hotel Ouachita, on the upper floor of a two story frame and iron building, located back of the hotel and connected with it by vestibuIe, was discover ed to be on fire about 12:10 this morning, and was totally destroyed together with it's contents. The alarm was promptly sounded and the fire department hurried to the scene, and by admirable work sue ceeded in saving the hotel, which at first appeared to be in imminent danger of destruction: The supply of water was frst-class and the wind favorable, which added greatly to the prompt suppression of the flames, which, had they caught the hotel building, would undoubtedly have resulted in the destruction of a big portion of the city. A portion of the loss on the building was COW cred by insurance, but MT. Drey- burg, manager of the hotel, lost between $500 and $400 on his kitchen furniture, and by damage sustained by smoke and water to articles in rear of the hotel, on which there was DO insurance.
