OF THE TARIFr.

The understanding of the complicated
provisions of the new tariff has been
greatly simplifed by the issuance Of
this manual, which contains decisions of
the Federal Courts, General Appraisers
and the Secretary of the Treasury on
miooted points. To digest the tariff law
IS no easy task, but to digest the food
taken into the gastric receptacle lis rem
dered facile and agreeable by the sys-
ttematic use of that thorough stomachic.
HoStetter's Stomach Bitters. This is a
family medicine of comprehensive uses.
IL prevents the cures malarial, kidney
and rheumatic troubles, remedies nerv-
BUSINESS and insomnia, and removes con-
stlpation and biliousness. Appetite, as
well as the ability to satisfy it without
subsequent abdominal disturbance, is
restored by this fine stomachic, which
also accelerates convalescence. Persons
IN the decline Of life and the infirm of
every age and sex find it of material as
sistance.

through the United States Consulate.
At that time the Consul had received u
petition signed by the American citl-
zens Of Matanzas setting forth i'll detall
the need in which they stood of imme-
date relief from the dangers of starya-
ton.
SO far as the Board of Officers of the
Montgomery could ascertain, Matanzas
at that time needed a supply of food Tor
$4,000 people for at least one month,
in addition to supplies of condensed mix
for invalds and medicines of all KINDS.
The people of Matanzas are also in ur-
pent need of clothing, most of them
being in filthy rags.
The Spanish authorities, it may he
said in conclusion, have rendered all the
assistance which it seems possible for
them to provide. On two occasions
they they have given 100000 to the
fund for the relief of the destitute;
Int. so far as The board could learn,
fhis was all the government was i'll a no-
sition to contribute to the relief of the
$4,000 starving, dying people, i'll the
streets of Matanzas.
Miss Clara Barton visited the village

1000 starving persons. She was almost
prostrated at the scenes of dcsolatl0n
and misery she witnessed. Without
outside assistance this condition OF
things must grow worse day by day, ana
the native officials confess themselves
at the end of their resources. This is
particularly true of the towns and VII
lagos outside Havana. Strangers visit
ing the city and resident foreigners, as
well as natives are not able to do so.
contribute to alleviate the more acute
cases Of distress.
1t is suggested that ship of provisions
might be sent from the United States
direct to Matanzas, where Consul Brice
describes the conditions as simply APP
palling. American contributors can rest
assured that their gifts will reach the
needy, as any trouble or delay that may
have existed heretofore in the receipt
and distribution of stores by American
officials in the island has been elimi-
mated
