MAY RESULT
IN MURDER!
Robert COttingham Murderously
Assaulted with a Knife by
Simon Cloman.
The ASSAILANT CAPTURED
And Now a Prisoner In The City
Hall.

The Wounded Man Lying at Deaths
Door az His Home and Not Ex-
pected to Recoverable Last
Rights of the Church
Admin. tered.
RESULT OF PREVIOUS QUARREL

Robert Cottingh am, aged 80 years, a
hotel keeper Of Maryland avenue and
Liberty street, was seriously stabbed at
$50 o'clock last evening while standing
in front OF his hostelerie, by Simon Clo-
man, who resides in the immediate Vi
cinity.
At the time of the murderous assault
Mr.. Cottingham was standing in front Of
his saloon talking to friend.
Cloman, who was partially intoxi-
Gated, approached them and without
saying word cut Mr.. Cottingham in
the abdomen with the blade of an open
knife, which he had carried in his right
hand.
With the exclamation of II am cut, y
Mr.. Cottingham fell to the pavement,
whilst his murderous assailant took
refuge in flight.
The injured man was carried to his
bed room and DR.. John c. Fahey sum
moned. On examination the physician
found that the wound extended to the
depth Of about three inches in the
stomach and that portion of the en-
trails were protrouding.
In the meantime Sergeant Bayley and
Officer John Ward had succeeded in ar
resting CIoman and he is now in cell
in the City Hall awaiting the result Of
Mr. Cottingham's injury.
At late hour this morning DR.. Fahev
stated that the victim of the assault was
in precarious condition and that he
did not expect him to live throughout
the day. \ priest was also with him at
the time OF going to press, administering
the last rights Of the Church.
The probable murder grew out Of
quarrel which Brown caused early last
evening.

admi.ted-haye driven them in on the
forts, have carried all the suburbs, aud
would carry Manila itself but for Admiral
Dewey's interference. That brave officer
does not want his victory to be stained
by massacre OF white men by dark des-
peradoes, and does not entirely believe
in the power OF the more reasonable
leaders like Aguinaldo to hold their fol-
lowers in check. He has therefore signi-
fed, it is said, to his allies that If they
cross the river which flows outside the
capital he will open fire, and as that re-
inforcemen, would revive Spanish
audacty, the insurgents halt, and await,
like the Spaniards, and like Admiral
Dewey himself, the arrival OF the rein
iorcements from San Francisco. We eX-
pect a terrible outbreak in Spain, and
our judgment is in no way modified by
the statements that the ruling classes OF
the cities expect nothing OF the kind,
that they believe the army can and will
protect them, and that the tide OF amuse-
ment shows as deep volume as ever.
The theatres were al! open in Paris
while the tumbrils were rolling towards
the guillotine, and would be open next
week ii the plague were carrying of five
hundred men day. We pity the
queen-regent, who is good woman, and
brave; We pity the present government,
which has been guilty only OF untruth-
fulness, and is possibly untruthful to it
self as well as to its supporters; and we
pity Spain itself, which is responsible
only for part OF its misfortunes; but if
there Is one truth more certain than
another, it is that men inherit mis-
fortunes as we'll as fortunes, or, as the old
Hebrew put it, that '.the fathers have
eaten sour grapes, and the children's
teeth are set on edge" The past treat
ment by Spain of her transmarine pos
sessions has earned for her the retribu-
ton which is now falling on generation
which, by its indifference-an indiffer-
ence shown in the second appointment OF
General Weyler-has earned the penal
ties it will suffer.

HISTORY.

Popular belief associates the
"King's Evil' with blood poi
soning and it is interesting to
here review the history of this
impression. The Kings Evil
first appears in History just prior
to the Twelfth Century when
Edward the Conqueror imagined
he possessed the miraculous gift
of curing certain diseases by the
simple touch and by pronouncing
a few sacred words. After the
example of Edward, the King of
France, became celebrated for
the skill with which they cured
scrofula, goitre, ETC., by his pro-
cess. Scrofula then became unil
versally known as the King
Evil and is to-day sometimes as
luded to by that name. Such a
methodof cure has been claimed
to be the peculiar attribute of the
sovereigns of England and
France, but history does not SAN
ton this, for it appears to have
been not unfrequently employed
in Scandinavia, and to have been
derived from the mystical prac-
tees of the Divide in curing dis
ease. The exact words used for
the cure of Scrofula by the
French Kings were:-"Le roi te
touche, Dieu te guerisse.' "
In this enlightened age no.
body would be silly enough to
trust a case of Scrofula to a King
or his words unless it happened
that the King aforesaid, had a
diploma or two from medical
colleges of good repute. At this
writing none of the Kings in our
circle Of acquaintance have taken
up the study OF medicine and we
therefore suggest that every man,
woman and child suffering from
this dreadful disease send fifty
cents to DR.. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla, for a
bottle of "Marvelo." There is
but one cure for the Kings Evil
for Scrofula and that one
cure is Marvelo. This marvel
Gus preparation can only be OBJ
tanned Of DR.. Jonathan G. Tru-
man, Lemon City, Fla.

Sunday, June rs, 1898.
COOP morning.

SANTIAGO will be taken-that much Is
absolutely certain. But persons who
imagine that it will be taken in day or
a week are simply building disappoint-
ment for themselves. The place is
strongly fortified; it is occupied by a
large and powerful army, and in the
harbor lies Cervera's feet ready to CO.
operate with the troops on land. To
overcome these forces is task that will
probably require vigorous, persistent and
ong-continued fighting, and the city
will be captured only after stubborn
and desperate resistance. 1t is down.
right folly to assume that the taking OF
the beleagured city will be anything in
the nature OF holiday enterprise.

Tile Spanish-American war has ad-
vanccd this week. Slowly, very slowly,
but without pause, the American re-
sources are developing themselves, and
SO also, with equal tardincss and equal
relentlessness, are the effects OF the
Spanish ineficiency and the hatred
which spain contryes to excite wherever
her government extends. Admiral Ger
vera and his fleet are now locked up in
the harbor OF Santiago past hope OF get
ting ont Not only are they watched
from the outside by the lar superior fleet
under Admiral Sampson, but their only
channel Of exit has been closed by de-
vice carried ont by American sailors with
splendid daring and sc.i-devoton. The
vast army .oi invasion is now knocking
at the doors Of Santiago and the Spanards
quail before the thought Of this terrible
onslaught. In the Philippines the scene
is even stranger, and more picturesque,
because the accounts are more detailed
and less conflicting. The captain-gcneral
is evidently in despair, and in order to
provoke his superiors to an energy Of
which they are Incapable, he reveals the
whole truth, which is confirmed at every
point from American sources. He is at
the end Of his resources. As the news of
the American defeat of Admiral MOntojo
spread in the endless islands the natives
everywhere rose, the native battali ms
commanded by Spaniards everywhere
mutinied, and, as we fear it will be
found the clergy, who are objects OF an
inveterate and vindictive horror-the
causes of which remain to be explained
were everywhere put to death. The cap
tain-general can rely only on about seven
thousand Spanish troops, unpaid, badly
provisioned, and impcrfectly armed. the
Philippines having been for many years
the happiest hunting-gronnd of the cor
rupt administrator, the fraudulent con-
tractor, and the bribed commissariat
clerk. Senior Aguinaldo, the insurgent
leader apparently a man Of initiative
method and ability, has called all his
followers to arms, and has led them to
an attack uponManila itself. The
Tagals, many OF them vreolted soldiers,
Malay blood and all Of them with

that they can display ferocious
though curiously intermittent daring,

STATEMENTS that, the government has
decided to permit, temporarily, the use
Of postage stamps for internal revenue
purposes to meet the requirements OF the
new law require some explanation. The
Treasury Department has found it a
physical impossiblity to get the regular
stamps ready by July |, the date that the
new law goes into effect. 1t was realized
that any default upon the part OF the
government to have the stamps ready at
that time would occasion embarrassment
to merchants, and Of necessity bring
about considerable temporary shrinkage
in trade, and it was accordingly decided
to make use temporarily, that is, until
the new stamps are ready, OF postage
stamps; but it Is necessary for all persons
who may have use ior the revenue
stamps to understand that no postage
stamps can be used for the purposes indi-
Gated bv the law unless the initials Il.
r." Internai Revenue have been
stamped upon their face by the Revenue
Department officials. This is an i'm
portant TACT that must be borne in mind
by all merchants and traders who come
within the terms of the new law.
