The Greatest Discovery Yet.

Chief says: I'VE won't keep
house without DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for consumption, coughs and
colds. Experimental with many
others, but never got the true rem
edy until we used DR.. Kings New
Discovery. No other remedy can
take its place in our home, as in it we
have a certain and sure cure for
coughs, colds, whooping cough, etc"
1t is idle to experiment with other
remedies, even if they are urged on
you as just as good as DR.. Kings

| Havana, Jan. 1S-Son1e idea of the
! conditions here in Havana and of the
| real magnitude of the work before the
military administration can be gathered
| from a letter sent recently by Major
| General Ludlow. military governor OF
| the department of Havana, to the late
mayor. Marquis d. Estebcn, in reply to
letter complaining that certain United
States staff officers had been operating
in the mayoralty sphere without con-
sulting him. After an expression of re-
greet that the marquis had been incon-
venienced in any way and an assurance
that whatever had been done no dis
courtesy was intended, General Ludlow
says: You must admit however. that
the city Of Havana is in a deplorable
condition The Spaniards have left it
bankrupt, unable to pay its employees,
VINO have lacked their salaries for many
months.
Sanitary Condition Is Frightrul.
The prisons, asylums and homes for
the ueStlIute are supplies, 1000
or medicine. The sanitary condition is
frightful. Almost inconceivable abuses
exist which are a continuing menace to
the health of the city. The SpaniardS
have left Havana with scarcely an at
tribute of modern civilization, and prac-
tically in the sanitary condition of
city two centuries ago. The
money which at this moment is being
used to maintain the charitable inStitu-
tions of the city is money allotted by
the United States a free gift for this
purpose. We have given food rationS
by the million and employment to thou
sands who needed it.
Dons Pillased the Town.
THE retiring Spanish authorities have
pillaged almost every public building
destined for use, stripping all of every
thing of value with few exceptions,
lated filth of generations. In
these circumstances, faced by the grav-
est emergency. with immediate meas
ures of relief necessary in every direc-
ton, with all lSIblic institutions to be re-
organized and re-equipped, with the
streets to clean and pave, the sewers to
be built. untold abonlinations by the
thousand to be obliterated. and the COM
mon people to be educated in the ele-
mentary principles of modern civilized !

ment for the United States military au-
thorities in every step they take to go

PARIS, Jan. I'm. Quesnay de Beau
repaire, the former president of the
civil section of the court of cessation,
follows up his attacks on the criminal
section of the court of cessation in an
article published by The Echo de Paris,
in which he insinuates that judge
Loewe, president of the court, went out
of his way to appoint M. Bard reporter
of the Dreyfus affair, because he was
sure of his partiality, and that he also
appointed Dreyfusite magistrates for
other branches of the inquiry. More
over, M. Beaurepaire says the rehabili-
tation of Colonel Piequart by Judge
Loewe is tantamount to an uncalled for
declaration of the innocence of Dreyfus.
Furthermore. M. ide Beaurepaire al
leges that Judge Loewe displayed hos
tility and aversion to the generals when
the latter were testifying, and expressed
approval of the attacks on the geuerl
staff, in the testimony of ain exloffcer
who was cashiered for internp erance.
The assertion is also made that Judge
Loewe in examining the chiefs of the
army and the officials of the war Office
put questions with the object of confus-
ing them, and that otherwise he fire.
quently showed bias.

MADRID, Jan. 12.-General Rios, the
spanish commander, cables from Ma,
Mia, reiterating the assertion that the
situation of affairs in the Philippine
islands is most grave. The rebels, it ap.
pears, are concentrating in the neighbor-
hood Of. Manila with the intention Of at
lacking that place. Great preparations
are being made for the defense of the
city. The Spanish general also asserts
that the natives of the visayas have
again refused to permit the Americans
to land, threatening to resist by force if
an attempt is made to do SO. The Amer
leans, therefore, according to General
Rios, have abandoned the idea of dis
embarking and he confirms previous
statement to the effect that they are un-
willing to lombard Iloilo, "because the
European houses are stocked with petro-
leum, with the view of being set alight
by the American shells"
General Rios also alleges that the
rebels are determined to fight the Amer
leans before reinforcements arrive from
the United States. In conclusion, Gen
eral Rios says Aguinaldo's proclamation
has produced immense enthusiasm
among the rebels"

ALL PARIS is ABLAZE.

Excitement Over the Dreyfus Affair Has
Reached the Danger Point.
PARIS, Jan. 12.-The Dreyfus affair
has now entered one of its bitterest
chapters. Accusations, vituperations
and threats are raging in the cafes
and among the scores of boulevard
shops, many Of whom have found their
sole reason for existence in the unhappy
strife they foment. 4
tits regarded by impartial Observes
as the most dangerous factor to the in
situations of the republic the affair has
yet developed that the president of the
chambers of the court of cassatiop
should assume the role Of leader of the
agitation against that tribunal, declar-
ing that 16 of his colleagues are con-
spring to defeat the ends of Justice.
The method he employs of appealing to
the populace through the newspapers,
in the eyes of the most conservative,
aggravates his course by its lack of Dig
nifty. 1t is evident that he, believing
that the court of cessation will decide
in favor of Dreyfus, intends to divest
the decision of all weight by impeach-
ing its fairness in advance, and he
seems likely to succeed, so far as the
anti-Dreyfusards are concerned.
The opinion is gaining ground that
the opponents of the republic may find
in this man, NJ. Quesnay de Beaure-
paire. a leader, the lack of which has
hitherto been the chief guarantee of the
continuance Of the present regimes.

SHARKEY THE WINNER.
Easily Defeats Kid Mccoy In Bout OF
Ten Rounds at New York City.

Easily Defeats Kid Mccoy In Bout OF
Ten Rounds at New York City.
NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Tom Sharkey,
the American sailor, is now the only
heavyweight possibility for champion
ship honors and the title held by Bob
Fitzsimmons. He whipped Kid Mccoy
good and hard in the. 10th round of
what was to have been 2O-round bat
tie, and by doing so the Irish-American
pugilist forced his way so positively and
undeniably to the front that Fitzsim-
mons must consider the sailor pugilist's
claim without delay.
Sharkey was revelation 10 those
who saw him a couple of years ago.
His ring work and generalship are also
vastly superior to his exhibitions when
he first came to the East as fighter,
that the improvement isaalmost incred.
ible.
Fight Witnessed by Thousands.
The arena of the Lenox Athletic club
was crowded to theydeors when Mccoy
and Sharkey entered the ring at 1928,
accompanied by their seconds. Tim
Hurst was referee AS soon as the fight
ing began it was evident that Mccoy
intended to try and tire his heavy OPP
ponent and his marvellous foot work
won the admiration of the spectators.
He used every artifice known to the ad-
vanced school of pugilism and his de-
feat must not be attributed to any lack
of close study on his part of every trick
in the boxing game. For the first few
rounds Mccoy seemed to have the adj
vantage, as he managed to keep out of
Sharkey's reach and at the same time
get in several telling blows. In the
third the Kid sent his right to the sail
ors face, telling him to the floor. Shar-
key jumped up at once and the dose was
repeated. Many then thought he had
the sailor at his mercy, but this idea
was dispelled as soon as the latter be-
gan to get at his man.
Sharkey Has His Turn.
At the opening of the sixth round Nc
Coy showed WEAKNESS and Sharkey was
on the aggressive. From that time on
he forced the fighting, getting in many
telling blows on his opponent, especially
in the wind. nthe tenth round Sharkey
forced Mccoy to one side of the ring
and landed about as he pleased. A right
swing on the neck foored the Kid. He
lay there helplessly while the referee
counted 10 seconds, after which he
struggled to his feet and Sharkey, not
knowing that the limit had expired,
rushed at him once more, this time
swinging his left on the neck just below
the jaw, Mccoy falling again. The ref
cree did not trouble himself in counting
seconds, but waved his right hand to
Sharkey to retire to his corner, saying
at the same time, 81 counted Mccoy
out on the other fall; you've won" Nc
Coy struggled to his feet and staggered
to his corner, where his seconds placed
him on his feet.
Mccoy weighed 1853 pounds and
Sharkey 172.

NOTHING OVER NIGHT.

War Department Had No Late News
From General Otis.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-It was said
at the was department that absolutely
nothing had been heard over night from
General Otis at Manila, touching the
state Of affairs there. When inquiry
was made relative to a report that there
had been a meeting near Manila of a
commission selected jointly by General
Otis and Aguinaldo, it was pointed out
that under the la ;e discretionary au-
thority conferred upon him by the de-
partment, and in conformity with the
presidents express instructions to ex-
haust all peaceful means of adjusting
the difficulty with the Insurgents,
General Otis had full authority to adopt
such methods without asking express
permission from the department. His
course is thoroughly approved by the
president up to this point.
Present Status May be Protracted.
General Otis has been instructed to use
gentleness in dealing with the insurgents
and to advise and cooperate with Ad-
miral Dewey. There is some reason to
believe that the present situation may
be protracted longer than would be
naturally expected and that there
will be no open hostilities immedi-
ately if at all. The question is
what is to be done at Toilo.
Originally it was intended to release
the Spanish force there besieged, but by
their evacuation of that place they have
removed that incentive, and were it not
for the false encouragement it would
give the insurgents there is little doubt
the United States troops would not be
moved against noilo. Meanwhile the
navy is expected to draw a Gordon
around the island of Panay, and also
Luzon, should it be deemed necessary
to do so to prevent the further supply Of
arms and munitions of war to the in
srlrgents. Probably the gunboats now
here or en- route will be reinforced by
the Machias. Annapolis and Vicksburg.

THE BOUNDARY MATTER.

Senator Foster and Congressman Cushman have pounded away at the au- thorities at Washington until it now appears as if we were to hold our own territory in Alaska. The state depart ment has apparently been anxious to settle the matters in dispute at any cost to Alaska, but Alaskans and the Washington senator and representative have made such vigorous fight that the assistant secretary of state had to deny an interview in order to get out of the muss in anything like fair shape.
 The treatment that Americans have received from the Canadians in this territory is not such as to engender a warm feeling for our cousins across the line. There was but little differ ence in the conduct of the British Col umbia and the Canadian government. They have both made it as disagreea- ble for the Americans as they dared to and there is no occasion for giving them any of our possessions. The miners of Alaska ought to shut them out of American mining camps.
