Facts About Health
1t is Easy to Keep Well If We
Know How
Some Of the Conditions Necessary
to Perfect Health,

The importance OF maintaining good
health is easily understood, and it is really
a simple matter IL we take correct view
Of the conditions required. In perfect
health the stomach promptly digests food,
and thus prepares nourishment. The
blood is employed to carry this nourish-
ment to the organs, nerves, muscles and
tissues which need it. The first great
essential for good health, therefore, is
pure, rich blood. Now it is certainly q
fact that no medicine has such

that there are hundreds of people alive
and well today who would have been in
their graves had they not taken Hoods
Sarsaparilla. 1t is depended upon es a
family medicine and general regulator of
the system by tens OF thousands of people.
This is because Hoods Sarsaparila makes
the blood pure. This is the secret of its

PLAYED OUT GOLD MINE
Is What Peace Means to the Havana
Officials.

Havana, March 29.-It is impossible
to explain or understand the serene
confidence of the civil, military and ma
val officials here who, believing war
with the United States is imminent, de-
clare Havana is impregnable.
They are pleased to attribute this

along the horseshoe curve of the shore

of the harbor. When asked if they sup
posed the United States war vessels
could enter under such a cross-fire, the
Spaniards shrug their shoulders and
smile.
As to the food supply, for which no
apparent provision has been made, the
But the Spanish merchants, bankers and
other prominent people here, are not so
confident nor are they so reticent- Such
people aver that if Havana is attacked
or blockaded, and no stores are provid-
ed to feed the beseiged, the soldiers and
residents will be the first to rebel, even
to the extent of blowing up the palace
itself.
Everybody recognizes that there is no

ELECTIONS A FARCE.
Ballot Boxes Were Stuffed With IN
voted Tickets.

Havana, March 29.-PrObab1y not any
deep interest was felt in Sundays cleo
lions for delegates to the cortes in Ma
drid in view of the graver matters oc-
cupying public attention. The election
however was as farcical as it was sup
posed it would be. In many of the dis
trictS Of Havana not more than SIX
bOnafide votes were cast out OF nun
dreds which were eligible. In one pro-
vince in the interior, with total of
over 1000 qualified voters the number
of votes polled was SO. The government
denies these statements and the censor
refuses to allow them to be sent direct
over the wire; but all the local papers
indicate the facts plainly intimating
that the ballot boxes were stuffed to
repletion with unvoted tickets.
It is also said openly here that Capt.
BlancO and the autOnomists secretaries
should resign at once, it being claimed
that it is useless for them to wait for
the local elections of April "a and 26
when it is asserted the tactics of Sun
day will be repeated.
It now appears that the results show
% autonomists and eight conservative
delegates were chosen, the conservative
candidates losing in Artemisa and Car
denaS in spite of an agreement to the
contrary entered into by the govern
ment. Sunday was a, day of much sup
pressed excitement among the Amerl-
cans. Something strange seemed to be
in the air, while to those who were not
accustomed to reading similar stuff, the
yellow dodgers calling for the killing
of the American correspondents at 2
o'clock in the afternoon, seemed full
of deadly portend. In fact the day was
very quiet, policemen with their rifles,
revoIvers and swords being much in ev-
idence. Every one fears great events
will transpire in the United States
without the knowledge reaching the
Americans or the public in Havana.
There is no doubt the censorship is
more rigid than ever on both the incom-
ing and outgoing wires.

GEN. MILES AT CLEVELAND
To Oversee the Work on Big Cat
ling Gun.

Cleveland March 29-Gen. Nelson A.
Miles, arrived in Cleveland from Wash
ington today.
The general was accompanied by a
number of officers of the regular ar
my, who compose the board of ord
nance. The party was met here by ex-
Congressman Cultivate, DR.. Calling
and Capt. Day. Among those with
Gen. Miles was Major Phipps.
The gentlemen were at once driven to
the works of the Otis Steel company,
where the big gun designed by DR.. Cat
ling is being constructed. 1t was for
the purpose of viewing the mandreling
of this gun that the board came to
Cleveland. 1t is expected that this
style of gun will be an important factor
in coast defense and the government
deemed it best to have skilled officers
on the ground, while the big gun was
being internally forged. Gen. Miles
expresses himself as highly pleased
with the result of the work.

YIELDING.
Spain Withdraws All Her OBJ
jectiOns
To the Relief Measures Planned
For Cubans,
EXCEPTING WARSHIPS
Supplies Must Not Be Carried
in Armed Vessels.
Congressman Preparing For a
Crisis.

Washington, March 29-The purpose
and result of the Spanish minister's
talk with Judge Day today were guard
ed with the usual secrecy that prevails
at the state department. In a general
way, however, it is said, it was produc-
tive of further expressions from high
officials that the aspect continues pa
cific. 1t is learned that the last diff
ference has disappeared as to SPANS
objecting to the dispatch of relief sup
plies by the United States government
to Cuba.
Spain also has expressed full willing
ness to allow the reconcentrados to be
assisted by agricultural implements,
etc, or in any other way the United
States sees fit to adopt, so long as it
does not assume a form offensive to
Spain, by being carried in a warship.
Beyond this, however, the plans of
settlement have taken very wide
range, and no one of them is yet re-
duced to such a concrete form that it
gives promise of acceptance by both
governments. Both sides, it is said by
persons familiar with the negotiations,
appear to be animated by an earnest
desire to avoid war by all honorable
means, and for this reason every pos
ment, is being fully canvassed.
There is high authority for saying,
however. that the Spanish attitude up
to the present time has not
been to consider either the in
dependence of Cuba, fOrcible in
PREVENTION or the sale of the island.
There is much difference of opinion
as to the so-caIled arrnistice among Of
ficials who ought to be fully advised as
to its exact terms if it had assumed a
definite form. A gentleman well ac-
quainted with Spanish affairs pointed
out today that the talk of an armistice
was out of the question, as Spain would
never withdraw her forces in Cuba,
while the rebelIious element was in
arms. He said also that the state
ments published concerning a pending
90 into force Immediately after the
coming Cuban election was not in fact,
under consideration, as the reported
terms of this new autonomy are in de-
tail embraced in the present autonomy
now about to be put into force.

Congressman Say the House Will Not
Wait Longer.
