Can cubans Govern rhemselves3

Can cubans Govern Themselves7
One Of the best known diplomatists
recently declared that the Cubans are.
incapable Of governing themselves;
and that the United States must main
tain its present control indefinitely, or
else annex the island. There will be
those who will dispute this, but there
are non who dispute the well estab-
lished fact that H~ostetter's Stomach
Bitters is capable of controlling the
common diseases Of the stomach. It
is a remedy that is backed by fifty
years Of success. It is an ideal medi-
cine for constipation; a strength
builder for those who are predisposed
to lung troubles, and for nervousness
it is of wonderful benefit. AS an APP
petizer it is incompatible. Those
whose stomachs are out Of order should
not fail to try a bottle.

k4xxsss Manager
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1899-02-28
Baltimore g. Ohio.

From time to time articles appear
in various papers about the so-called
Hill control of Baltimore & Ohio,
together with exhaustive details of
various struggles which are supposed
to be in progress between Mr.. Hill
and other people in the Baltimore &
Ohio board. The details of these strug-
giles are very interesting, but are open
to the criticism that they have no ex-
fstence in fact. The plain facts of the
matter are, first that Mr.. Hill does not
control Baltimore & Ohio, nor has he
at any time expressed any desire or
taken any steps in that direction;
second, that there has at no time been
any differences of opinion between Mr.
Hill and the Baltimore & Ohio people
with regard to a selection of general
manager, the selection of Mr.. Under
wood being satisfactory to everybody;
and third, that the delay in regard to
Mr.. Underwood's acceptance of the
general managership of Baltimore &
Ohio was due to matters connected
with the 500 Line more than anything
else.
1t is pretty well understood here
that Mr.. Hill was invited to interest
himself in Baltimore & Ohio, on the
theory that he could be of great SER
vice to the property as an adviser, and
to this end he, with some OF his
friends, purchased a substantial inter-
est in the preferred stock Of the
company. This interest Is nowhere
hr q controlling interest, but is still
very large. 1t may be said without
fear Of contradiction, that there is en-
tire harmony in Baltimore & Ohio
circles from top to bottom.

Paris Exposition Buildings.

A Paris dispatch says: The exceed,
ingly mild weather prevailing here
thus far this winter may be bad for
the city's health, but it certainly is
good for the coming expedition. Even
before the strike of the masons last
summer the architects admitted that
they were behind In their work on the
great stone buildings that will be the
center of. the worlds fair of 1000, but
this open season has enabled them to
make up for lost time. Now nearly
all the heavy labor is done on the per
manent structures supplanting the old
Palais de fIndustre. Between the
Champs Elysees and the Seine some
parts of the roof are almost completed,
and already one can get fair idea of
the strikingly beautiful effect to be
presented by this portion of the expo
sition grounds. The greatest activity
now reigns everywhere throughout the
grounds, and there no longer remains
any doubt that the site will be ready
in ample time.
