A Boston business man, with his wife, was
over in Europe. While in Paris his wife fell
from carriage and hurther ankle dreadfully.
She was laid up in bed for weeks, and the
doctors couldn't do thing to relieve her.
Then the Boston man had his wife carried to
the railroad train and took her to a small VII
lhge on the side of the Alps mountains in
Switzerland, thinking change would do her
good. Here, by accident. he came across an
old Swiss peasant, who peddled a green
colored oil in bottle. The Boston man got
some for his wife, and two hours after rubbing
it on her ankle she could stand up and walk
as good as anybody. Before that she was
utterly helpless. Then the Boston man hunted
up the old Swiss peasant again, and after a
whole lot Of trouble he succeeded in buying a
recipe for making the green oil. The green
color, he found out, came from very rare
herb that grew on one of the Alps mountains,
and it was this same herb which had so quickly
cured his wife's sprained ankle. The old
peasant told him he had been making this
remedy for many years, but he had never

cure for rheumatism, lumbago, neuralgia, sore
throat, cold in the chest, weak backs, tired
arms, shoulders ard legs, stiff joints, sore
muscles, aching feet, and all bruises, sprains,
pains and aches.
The Boston man tried the green oil for all
these troubles, and found it was really amaz-
ing what wonderful cures the green oil ef-
fected. Then he made arrangements to have
the Swiss herb and other ingredients brought
across to America in ships, apd when he got
back to Boston he organized a company to
make and sell the remedy. 1t had no name,
so he called it Omega Oil.

THE NICARAGUAs CANAL
An Official synopsis Of the Report of
the Commission.

Washington, May 31.-The state de-
partment today made public an official
abstract of the report of the Nicara-
guam canal commission as presented
by Admiral Walker the head OF the
commission. The synopsis says:
The commission made a careful
study Of all data bearing upon the
Nicaraguan canal question and or
ganiZed large force.
The report goes into minute details
in respect TO all questions connected
with the construction Of the canal, and
says after mature deliberation the
commission has adopted and estimated
for the route from Brito to Lake Mica
ragua, called Child's route, and from
the lake to Greytown, called Lull
route. This line leaving Brito follows
the left bank of the Rio Grande to near
Beuno Retro, crosses the western di-
vide TO the valley of the La Jas, which
it follows to lake Nicaragua Crossing
the lake to the head of the San Juan
river it follows the upper river to near
Boca San Carlos, thence in excavation
by the left bank of the river to the
San Juanillo and across the low coun-
try to Greytown passing to the north
ward of Lake Silico. 1t requires but a
single dam with regulating works at
both ends of the summit level The
surveys have in general revealed bet
ter physical conditions than were hith-
erto supposed to exist, especially as to
the amount of rocks in the upper river,
whereby it is possible to greatly reduce
the estimated cost of construction
ITO determine the proper unit prices
for excavation the average of prices
actually paid to contractors on the
Chicago drainage canal, which repre-
sent cost Of plant, prices paid for work
done and contractors profits was
taken. To these prices certain percent
ages were added for the difference in
location, climate, etc.
In obtaining the estimates for the
cost of locks the prices actually paid
for building the government locks at
Sault Ste. Marie were taken and "a per
cent. was added for the difference OF
location.
After giving due weight to all the
elements of this important question
and with an earnest desire to reach log
ical conclusions, based upon substan-
tial facts, the commission believes that
canal can be built across the 18TH
mus on this route for not exceeding
s118, 113, 79O.''
Colonel HaineS concurs generally
with the views Of the other members
!. of the commission, but his estimate OF
the cost is S134 SIS, 3O8.

CUBANS WANT MORE WAR
Efforts of Parties TO Get Up a RevOlu,
tIonary MOvement-Cuban Soldiers to
Defy Our Government.

Havana, May 31.-The military ad-
ministration has been informed that a
conspicuous leader of the late military
assembly recently collected thirty CEN
tenes from wealthy Spanish merchant
in this city, representing that it was
a contribution to a revolutionary fund.
The merchant gave the money on the
assurance that it would secure him a
favorable status with the possible fu-
ture government. Then, in order to
secure favor with the Americans, he
revealed to them what he knew. The
extent, design and cause Of the propOs-
ed rebellion are only known to the
Americans through this informant, and
whether there is any further founda-
ton Tor the suggestion cannot be as
certalned from the merchant, as he
was told that nothing would be at
tempted for several months.
The payment of the Cuban troops
continued today at Santiago de las
Vigas, 10y men receiving SIS each.

Cubans near Cienfuegos. has secured
positions and holdings of land for 500

general determination to refuse to ac-
cept the American gratuity or to sur
render arms. According to advices
from Nuevitas, the Third Cuban corps
has made a similar decision.
