Ii Not mt All Afraid that the United

New York, August 5.--A special to the

Domingo with read as follows "Revolu-
ton commences today in Dakabon and
Lavega. Send definite answer when you

Jiminez has replied: BE there by last
Of month with party. Delay so as TO
avoid bloodshed. Think present govern
ment will retire before then"
Jiminez declared that he had 10000
stands of arms in Cuba ready to be used
and a party OF Americans In the United
States are prepared to sail at once. When
asked il he did not think the United States
would stop his expedition he smiled aud
said. Has the United States enough ycs-
sells to guard the entire coast of Cuoa and
the Isle of Pines than can be spared?
Never fear; We Will have no trouble In

they will probably be arrested and pre-
vented from continuing their journey.
General Jiminez claimed to be Ill yes

lief that something is on foot. One thing

"BIowed II Out"

Miss Sallie Richard and Mr.. Joseph
Pom came to Hagerstown from Luray
on the late Norfolk and Western train
last Saturday night, procured a Ii
cense and were married at Hotel Bald
win by Rev. DR.. S. W. Owen. Later
they retired and that they are alive
today is no fault of theirs. Capt. B.
V. L. Cheney, who occupied a room
directly over the one to which the
young couple were assigned, was sit
ting close by his window when he
heard some one blow hard several
times. He thought nothing Of the &C.
currence at-the time, but few min
utes later he detected a strong smell Of
escaping gas which seemed to come
from the room under him. He called
down the tube to Night Clerk E. j..
Castle and advised him to make an
immediate investigation. Clerk Cas-
tie fastened to the room occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Pom and asked the young
groom how he had fixed his gas. The
young man replied thathe had"blowed
it out" Mr.. Castle told him he should
turn it off and explained to him how
he should do it. Mr.. Pom, however,
did not seem to understand or COM
prehend what was to be done, and
after he had unlocked the door he
went back to bed and called to the
clerk to come in and fix the thing to
suit himself HagerstOaVn Herald.

THE RETURNING SOLDIERS.

The volunteer soldiers who are now
returning from the Philippine Islands
by way of San Francisco all talk the
same way. Almost without excep-
ton they bitterly denounce the man
agement of the campaign there, and
with noticeable unanimity they con-
denim General Otis as incompetent
and unsuited for his responsible posi-
ton as commander of the American
forces. A captain in the Nebraska
Volunteers said that at the present
rate of warfare, it will take ten
years to subdue the Filipinos. The
Nebraska Regiment lost 2O4 men In
killed, wounded and i'll. Only one
man in the regiment re-enlisted. 81
don't think you will see any Of US re-
turning to Manila very soon, said
Col. Milford.
Corporal Miller, Of the Fourth I. S,
Cavalry, just returned, says the Pres
ident ought to recall the whole army
from the Philippines for humanity S
sake. He says that the hardships are
almost incredible, and added: "The
hospitals are crowded to their utmost
capacity. Not regiment can muster
40 per cent of its men, and these are
not fit for active service. Well never
beat the natives no, not even with
an army of 100000 men. The natives
towards? Why, they fight like devils.
l don't suppose there is Newspaper In
the land that has told the truth about
the state of affairs in the Philippines.
l know that all the newspapers | had
chance to look at while in the Phil
ippines were away off the facts in their
reports of the sick, deaths and skir-
mishes with the enemy. But the truth
will leak out now that the volunteer
regiments are coming home. The boys
will have stories to tell that will star
tie the American people. You see
that l am physical wreck. l never
expect to recover my former health.
Of course shall apply for a pension
Every man who has seen service in
the Philippines will apply for pen
sion and nearly every man is entitled
to one. This little Spanish-American
war is going to be mighty expensive,
l tell you.

Who Will Be Our Next President ?

Politicians are now planning for the
presidential campaign of 1900, but the
war has so overshadowed all other mat
tiers that politics is almost unnoticed
Many people are of the opinion that the
candidates will be the same as in 1896,
but there may be dark horse" who
will win the race. Popularity has much
to do with candidates. This is also true
with medicine. The most popular rem
edy to-day is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, and it has retained this for many
years. Science never discovered the
equal of this medicine for stomach, liv-
err and kidney diseases. 1t builds up
solid flesh tissue imparts vigor and
vitality to all organs, and makes life
worth living. A bottle will make big
change for the better. Try it.

CONSIDERABLE excitement has been
caused at Norfolk, Newport, Old
Point Comfort and contiguous terri
tory by an outbreak of yellow fever
in the Soldiers Home at Hampton,
Va. The presence of the disease was
Enthusiastically made known last Sun
day. Friday there were eight deaths,
Saturday there were seven, and Sun
day three. This caused an investiga-
ton, and some thirty additional cases
of genuine yellow fever were discov-
cred. A great sensation was created,
for there are nearly 1000 old soldiers
and sailors in the Home, many OF
whom had been exposed TO the dis
ease. The situation is extremely SER
ious, and all the towns Of that section
are quarantining against one another.
1t is said that the disease was brought
from Santiago, Cuba, by soldier.

SENATOR BURROWS of Michigan,
one Of the most prominent Republi-
cans in his party, will have to be put
down among the traitors. In an in
tsrview on Monday he said:
at is my judgment that if the war
in the Philippines is still in progress
next year, and the end is not then in
sight, the situation will be to the disad-
vantage of the Republican party. The
only hope for the party and the coun-
try, might add, is in a speedy change
in conditions in the Philippines I'm
less the war in the Philippines speedily
ends il will become an important politi-
cal factor and its continuance will make
the outlook for Republican success I'M
certain, to say the least If | could
have had my way we would have had
simply taken coaling station or base
OF supplies in the Island Of Luzon, we
would not have paid a penny to Spain
and we would have our foothold in the
East without the sacrifice of life and
money"
Our esteemed contemporary the
Parkersburg Journal to the contrary
Notwithstanding, the fact remains, as
Senator Burrows suggests, that the
people will hold the Republican party
responsible for the success or failure
Of this war. The Democrats haven
had any say in the matter at all.

resented by MISUNDERSTANDING
Herald
Who is the Herald man striking
at? Does he mean Governor Roose-
welt, whose letters to cabinet officers
plainly showed Mr.. Ayers unftness;
or Vice-President Hobart, at whose
instance Mr.. Alger handed his resig-
nation or the President himself, who
took a roundabout way to inform the

If Alger was the right man in the

have caused the President to remove
him. If he wasn't, why assault those
who exposed his unftness?
