We Do Not
[ Understand

why some people will be induced
to buy mixed paints that are only
claimed to be composed wholly
of lead and zinc and pure linseed
oil, when this claim is only sup
ported by the simple statement
of the seller and not sustained by
any guarantee of purity nor
chemical analysis. Ask them if
they will do as Rains does-he
stands ready to deposit in bank a
sufficient sum of money to pay
the cost of analysis by any first
class chemist whose analysis
fails to verify the absolute puri-
ty of his paint. Try them by
this test and see if they really
believe the paint they offer to
sell you is pure. The public has
been deceived too much and too
often on mixed paints. Our paint
costs you no more than other
dealers ask you for adulterated
and short measure gallons.

SpANIARDS STARVING,
The Spaniards in Cuba Would Sur

of Beinu MaSSdCred.

CAMP MCCALLA, Guantanamo Bay
June Is, via Kingston, June lit ha
been repeatedly asserted by the Span
ish government that the blockade o
Cuba is not effective, and that little
difficulty is experienced in landing
supplies of provisions on the island
This assertion is not supported by in
cideuts which occurred here today
which go to show that the Spanish
troops in this part of the island at least
are fsmishing.

He said he surrendered because the
Spaniards had SO little to eat, and that
most of them are in a starving condi-
tion. The only rations which the gar
rison at Caimanera has had for a week
were fat pork and sweet potatoes in
small quantities.
Hundreds of Spanish toops, he de-
clared, are ready to surrender if they
we're assured that they would not be
killed The Spaniards have been led
to believe that they will be killed by
the Americans without mercy.
The man is a member of the regular
Spanish army. He told Col. Hunting
ton he had been in Tuesdays fight:
that after the Spanish defeat they had
retrested to q fort which was six or
seven miles from camp. He said 15O
Spapiards were killed in the engage
ment.
He further said that Spauiaros
are gathering a force of 1000 men g
attack the camp tomorrow (Thursday)
night. Six hundred Cubans are ex-
pected to arrive here today. Their
aid will be very valuable in the event
of the Spsniards making another at

TO THE CANARIES.
The President Said to Favor Leav-

WASHINGTON, June 16.-A meeting
was held this evening of those close to
the president, when it was stated that
Mckinley cordially favored sending a
fleet,as soon as Santiago and Porto Rico
have been captured, to take the Canary
Islands. He would leave Cuba for the
fall.
That would give Spain war obj ect
lesson at home, and let her people
know the power of the Americans. At
present they are utterly ignorant.
Gen. Miles will report at the white
house later. The subject of Porto
Rico invasion will be taken up at
once. The great problem does not in
volve strategic matters 60 much as the
securing of transports.

The Holy Hill Pilgrimage.

HARTFORD, Wis, June 17.-Larger
than ever before in the history of the
famous Holy Hill pilgrimaees was the
number of i'll and afflicted, blind,
crippled, and d::disease-stricken of both
sexes who this morning toiled up the
rugged elevation to kneel before the
shrine in the Grotto of Massanielle and
pray for relief while dipping their
hands in the holy water trick
ling forth from the interior
of the grotto. The oc-
casiOn is the feast of the
"Sacred Heart of Jesus" and the most
prominent of the six feast days upon
which pilgrimages are made to the
shrine during the summer months.
The curative attributes of the place
have become SO well known and 40
generally believed in that among the
hundreds of pilgrims this year many
were from Canada and parts of the
United States as far distant as Cali
fornia and New Mexico. The at
fractions of the shrine of wor-
ship have recently been enhanced by
thes erection of q magnificent new
grotto, which is a faithful reproduc
tion of the famous.g fotto at Lourdes,
and was the gift of a Chicago man
who thus desired to show his gratitude
for the great bene fit which he claims
to have received at q pilgrimage to
the hill last summer.
