A FARMERS OPINION.
This Information is Worth More
Than the Present Value of a
hin Full of Grain.

7, Sullivan County, about half mile from
he village Of Unity, N. H., there lives a
aood honest, hardworking tiller of the soil.
sssmed c. E. French. Like every sensible
tanner. Mr.. French subscribes for papers.
md one evening, as he was looking over his
Clsremont weekly, his eye CHANGED to catch
= reading notice which proved a bonanza for
him and frightened up his tagging spirits
over the low price OF grain and farm produce
and the high price of commodities which are
rscessary for farmers existence. A farmer
reasons in his own peculiar way, and he calls
a shade a spade; so Mr.. French says quietly
N himself: II want just such remedy as
Doan's Kidney Pills. If it carries out faith
fuIv half what it claims it will cure my lame
hack. However much good may result from
one box. little or no harm can ensue." The
Deyt time Mr.. French visited Claremont he
made some inquiries at drug store about
me preparation, and was informed that
scores Of people in Claremont and the sur
rounding country had thoroughly tested
Doan's Kidney Pills and published their ex-
perence in Claremont papers. This was
enough for Mr.. French. He purchased
supply, and what follows Is his experience.
He saws "My kidneys have troubled me
ever since | left the army, but for the past
FIVE wears have been going from bad to

Of medicines with little or no result. For

Kidney Pills knocked the pain in my back
higher than kite. My other weakness is
also relieved. They have done more for me
than all the other medicines 1 have ever
taken, and l feel as though can't speak too
well Of Doan's Kidney Pills. You may pub
lsh my statement, and hope it may benefit
others who are suffering in similar way"

Shell and Sinks a
Spanish Torpe-
do Boat.

Kingston. Jamaica, June g
Port Antonian dispatches say i
is uncertain if the Spanish torpe.

Oregon sighted the torpedo boat
sneaking towards the harbor and
signalled her to stop, but being
improperly answered, the Ore
gon fred thirteen inch shell at
her, striking her anidships
sinking her and drowning all
on board.
Advices from Fort de France
says that the Terror is still there,
disabled. If this is SO, the tor
pedo boat sunk by the Oregoa
was probably the Furor, of AID
miral Camaras fleet.

PORTO RICO WILL BE
HELD.
The Island Certain to Become
Part of The United States.
[ Washington Post.

This statement made sometime
ago IN the Post to the effect thai
the United States would not &C
cept any negotiations for peace
which did not include the entire
surrender Of Porto Rico and Gu
ba to the United States can now
be positively cor irned.
1t is the purpose Of the AID
ministration, it can be authori-
lively stated, to hold the Island
Of Porto Rico for indemnity for
the expences Of war, Whether
the PHILIPPINES will be perma
nently retained is a question
which is yet undetermined, not
withstanding the statements
made in Secretary Alger's letter
to Speaker Reed. The islands
will of course, be kept until the
close of the war, and it is not
likely that they will, under any
circumstances, be returned to
Spain, which has fo1 many
years misgoverned them and
paralyzed their capacity for pro-
duction. 1t is certain that no
treaty of peace could be ratified
by the Senate which proposed
to deliver them back to Spain.
The United States, however,
may not desire to retain more
than a coaling and a supply sta

LANDING
OF TROOPS
Will Be Reported in a
Day Or Two.

Washington, June 6.-The
War Department refuses all ins
formation relative to the EN-
barking of troops from Florida
or the repo, ted landing Of troops
On the Cuban coast.
1t is expected that the landing
of troops at Santiago will be re,
ported in a day o. two. Accord
ing to the best information from
the time the advance detach-
rlent consisting mostly of en-
neers, left Florida, they could
arrive in Cuba today.
The War Department still
guards the plans for the occu-
patton of Santiago with great
secrecy. Nothing can be learn>
ed in Washington today regard
ing the time the main body of
troops are expected to embark.
The fact is we'll esta blished,
however, that conditions in San
tiago demand immediate land
ing Of troops, and that little
time will be lost in EN- barking
twelve thousand.
The Administration has al
ready designated to Secretary
Alger to prepare list of Span
1Sh prisoners at Atlanta, so that
an exchange can be made to the
Navy Department for Hobson
and his men as soon as matters
can be completed in that direc-
ton all immediate exchange
will be made.

ton there, i'll which case some
method will be found for their
transfer to some other nation
Porto Rico. however, will be q
part of the permanent posses
sions of this country. On this
point there does not seem to be
any doubt whatever.
With Haiti and Cuoa indie
pendent republics, with Great
Britain controlling Bermuda
and Jamaica, and with the Uni
ted States owning Porto Rico,
the entire West Indies. with the
exception of a few smaller is
lands, would be in safe hands,
and the gateway to the Gull
would be we'll guarded. This
view Of the situation has been
thoroughly discussed in Admin
istratio1 circles and meets with
favor. Whetl ler it is necessa-
ry to actually occupy Porto Rico
in order to secure its possessions
is another question that has
been considered. 1t is generally
understood, however, that this
would not be absolutely essen
tial. The surrender of Porto
Rico to the United States could
be made one Of the terms OF
peace without actual occupation.
but it is believed that Spain will
not regard the war as over until
Porto Rico has been Wrested
from her control; so that the
military operations against the
island is probably a necessity.
In view Of the fact that Porto
Rico will eventually become a
part of the United States III pay
ment OF indemnity, it IS interest
ing to know that the commerce
Of the island amounts to about
S3o,ooo,ooo a year. The coffee
trade alone reaches S8,ooo,ooo
With these resources under
Spanish rule. it is expected that
Porto Rico will easily pay with
few years the entire cost Of the
war.

AS TOLD IN SPAIN
Amazingly Ridiculous Ideas of
SPANS Greatest Newspa
perS.
ATLANTA Constitution.

Whether the newspapers of
Spain are really as ignorant as
they pretend to be concerning
events anG conditions in this
country, or are lying deliberate>
ly in order to deceive the masses
of the Spanish people is ques-
ton. Certain it is, however,
that even the leading journals in
Spain publish the widest and
most absurd fabrications in al
most every article about the
war that appears in their coll
umns. Some specimens Of their
work in this line may amuse
our readers.

recent issue, says editorially:
at is a fact we'll known to all
European statesmen that only
by means Of armed forces sta
toned in the late Confederate
States has the Washington gov>
eminent been able to preserve
the semblance Of peace. Even
TOW the new generation of the
Contederacy is but waiting for
word to revolt When a war is
declared General Lee, who has
been consul general at Havana,
and was kicked out Of Cuba by
Governor General Blanco, will
raise the standard of revolt in
the Southern Confederacy. This
Lee is the same Lee who was
general-in-chief Of the civil war
in 1850 to 1855, and, whose sur
render TO General Lincoln in the
last named year broke the revo~
luton. His acts at Havana were
for the plunging the government
into w&r with the kingdom OF
Spain, at which time he and his
followers would rise against
Senior Mckinley.
Not to be outdone by its com
petltors, FL HeJukdO, another
prominent newspaper i'll Spain,
comes forward with !he follow
ing no less startling editorial:
All the troops of the Yankees
are in the far western part of the
country, many thousands of
miles from the Atlantic coast.
There are only few thousand
men, all told, and they are i'll
paid and i'll fed, and not willing
to fight. To utilize this force it
will be necessary to bring it to
the eastern seaboard. There is
but one railway by which it
can be transported, and that is
al old aud poorly constructed
affair. At one place this railroad
passes over Niagra falls, a cat>
aract 900 feet high, near Lab
rador. At last accounts the
bridge over that place was in a
very dangerous condition. II
need surprise no one to hear
that some agency had made it
still more so"
Neither of the papers quoted
is alead of II Tempe, which as,
Serts its capacity in the follow
ing able especial from Havana !:
Word has just been received
here that the Indians are rising
against the Yankees in Illinois,
Ohio aud other places. The far
mers are petitioning the govern
ment to protect them from the
blood>thirsry savages, who are
burning houses and killing on
every side. Troops are asked
tor at Colorado, in the State of
Denver, and at St. Louis (San

brought to us that Buffalo
Bill, a notorious outlaw and
leader of a band of half-breeds,
has risen against the American
government and is burning
towns near his birthplace in

A Valuable Guide.

While visiting San Francisco we en-
gagged carriage to drive through Golden
Gate park, STIMULATING for an intelligent
driver who could point out the places and
objects of interest. The one sent was
bright looking young Irishman, in neat
livery, and he took much interest in dis
playing his knowledge Two crosses on
elevations in view of the park are promi-
nent. One of them, Greek cross, we had
been told was erected to mark the place
where tho first Church of England services
were held on the Pacific coast, on the &C.
casion of the visit of Sir Francis Drake, In
the sixteenth century. The object OF the
other, a plain wooden cross, we did not
know. So asked the driver about 1t.
"Well, sir" he replied, little puzzled,
apparently, THAT shows the merriden."
1.-THE what?" inquired.
"The merriden, - he repeated.
"But what is that?" / asked
"well, SIR" he replied, ''it's what they
find their place with on ships"
"Oh," / exclaimed, light breaking,
"that is where the meridian line passes
through"
Yes, said he, delighted to have solved
the matter satisfactorily, "and that other
cross is monument to Stab King the
great oil man."

A WONDERFUL MOTOR.

An Acknowledgements Machine That Fooled
Number of Investors.
About 20 years ago Mr. Paine had an
electro magnetic engine in Newark, In
which many persons whose names are not
unknown to fame, and who certainly
ought to have known better, took much
stock" in the literal as well as figurative
sense. Being in Newark on some other
business, was waited upon by Mr.. Paine
and invited to see the machine. accepted
the invitation and went with him. The
apparatus was shown off with great sue
cess, starting with full velocity the mo-
ment connection was made with little
battery of four cells, driving lathes, saw
ing wood etc., in way that demonstrate
ed several horsepower at least. / need
hardly say that / was not convinced that
perpetual motion had been discovered, but
only looked out for the trick.
Nothing, however, could be demonstrate
ed without taking the ponderous machin-
cry to pieces Near the end of my visit,
however, in connection with pseudo ex-
PLANTATION of some point, Mr.. Paine once
more connected the battery, whereupon
the machine, in place of starting promptly
as before, made few turns and stopped.

ventor as caused by some arrangement OF
parts, but as, a few minutes later, went
down stairs, looked at my watch and
found that it was five minutes after 9
O'Clock. The building at large contained
steam engine, and power was confessed
~ used in all other parts except those oc-
cupied by Mr.. Paine. This remarkable
failure to start at just about o'clock.
therefore, revealed the actual source OF en-
ergy. The little battery without doubt
operated either belt shafter in room
below or signaled a confederate similarly
located for q like purpose.
Not long after Mr.. Paine and his cleo
trio engine were unsuccessfully sought fol
by some of his stockholders, and all thai
was found was portion of an iron frame
of the machine, showing an interior pas
sage for belt TO act on its axle from thu

arrival of o'clock and the stoppage o.
