RETURNS TO CUBA
Private Miner of the Seventh Cav.
airy Talks of the Country

Priv. Holcy Miner of Troop L,
Seventh cavalry was at the recruiting
office in the Walker building, yesterday
afternoon, making arrangements to re-
turn to his troop at Quemados, Cuba.
He has been in the United States on
furloughed by the surgeon of his regi-
ment and has spent most of his time at
his home, in Fitchburg.
PRIV. Miner first went to Cuba as a
private in Company l, Ninth Massa-
chusetts volunteers, and served
through the campaign. On July 49,,
1885, he was taken sick and a few days
later was sent to this country in a
transport. As/soon as he recovered his
health fully he made up his mind to
ellist again, and March 20 of this year
he enlisted at the local recruiting office
He was sent to Fort Hamilton and
later assigned to the Seventh cavalry.
He has been in Cuba about six
months and says the country still has
bad effects on his health. His troop
is stationed about six miles from Ha-
vana and sees considerable duty in and
about the Cuban city Especially on
pay days the troop is kept busy doing
provost duty, as the men are inclined
to oversize the bounds when they get
hold of money. Priv Miner says the
troops are being fed as well as could
be expected and have first-class quar-
ters Many of them desert, he says
when they get paid and, by paying
oyster men who come over from Key
West S. or Sc, they can get over to
Tampa. He would much prefer to re-
main in the United States, as this
country agrees with him, but, never
theless, he says he enjoys the life. T%e
Seventh cavalry includes Capt. John c.
GreSham's command.

Col. brennan Does Not Favor the

The talk among Worcester Hiber-

'Rus1ors are spreading throughout
the United States that a Fenian in
vasion of Canada is being planned in
your city The Journal does not be-
lieve it; and, furthermore, believes it
will inJure the name of your city.
Kindly wire us, at our expense, the

TO say q. who have tried it speak good
word for il Dade Stegeman.
Pe-ru-na has become to be so universal
ly recognized as a specific cure for ca
tarrh, acute or chronic, coughs, colds
bronchitis, that it is amazing that any
one should continue to suffer on with
such a terrible malady, neglecting to
take a course of treatment with it. OF
course it may be that some people have
not yet come to know of this great
catarrh remedy, but it is strange that it
should be so after such multitudes have
been cured by it and SO many papers
have heralded it from one end of the
country to the other. But the news
travels faster and faster every month,
and no one can fail to see that the time
is not far distant when Pe-ru-na will be
known in every household in the land.
