GEN. LEES RECOMMENDATIONS.

GEN. LEES RECOMMENDATIONS.
Some interesting facts regarding the
cities and towns in the provinces of Ha'
yana and Pnar del Rio are embodied
in q report received at the War Depart
meut from Brig. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee,
commanding. He recommends that q
census of the island be taken as soon as
possible; that the question OF suffrage
De considered In all its aspects and de-
cision reached regarding the same; that
modern system of Jurisprudence be
introduced; that general election be
ordered for officers Of republic; that
the United States shall keep a strict
supervision over the affairs of Cuba I'm
Til republican form OF government has
ment has been adopted by the people
thereof that the island shall still be
parrisoned by troops of the United
States, in order to protect the lives and
properties of citizens Of the United
States and those of other foreign coun
tries residing in Cuba, preserve peace,
suppress disorder, and maintain the
supremacy of civil law whenever and
wherever necessary that the future OF
the Cuban republic shall be vested in
the people and their representatives, so
far az it relates to the question of an
American protectorate, or annexation
TO the United States. The province OF
Havana, General Lee says, is generally
in fair condition ; the land is rich,
level, and well suited for farming, and
capable of producing excellent crops
when cultivated. The population has
been greatly reduced, probably on an
average Of so per cent, owing to the
war. Sanitary conditions, he says have
improved very nue. in alltowns; there
is now comparatively little restitution.
The provinces are making progress
along the paths ofpeace and prosperity.
The General calls attention to various
minor matters in which improvements
can be made.

TENNESSEE MORMON RIOTS.

Six Mormon elders were conducting
a meeting in schoolhouse at PineBluls,
Stewart county, Tenn, Wednesday
night, when the building was stormed
by mob OF over 600 men. Stones were
thrown through the windows and those
present fed to save their lives. As bull
lets began to strike the building thick
and fast, Elders Hiram Olsen and h.
G. Petty tried to escape, Miss May Har-
den, a popular young woman, walking
between them with view to checking
the mob. As the trio passed down the
road shots were fred from ambush. The
woman Was hit and almost instantly
killed. Miss Harden's brothers vowed
vengeance, secured bloodhounds and
placed them on the trail of the aesss-
sins.
Baston Winson a young farmer aud super
intendent of Sunday school, was lying in
wait for the elders, aud on Thursday became
convinced that he had fred the shot that

at the same instant sending bullet through
his brain. There is intense feeling against
the Mormons in Stewart county, and further
serions trouble is expected. The elders have
been warned repeatedly to leave the county,
but they go right on holding meetings.

HOW TO CRUSH FILIPINOS.

General Funst on is about to return
with his regiment from Manila. In an
interview in Manila yesterday, speak
ing of the future. he said:
1.-THE only solution OF the problem
will be through whipping the insur'
gents. l do not think they will sur
render. When we begin active opera
tons against them on a large scale in
the autumn we will scatter them into
small bands, and l think when the SOL
ders composing these bands see that
they are persistently pursued they will
throw away or hide their arms, end
return to the pursuits of peace. q
year hence small bodies of armed men
will be able to 60 anywhere in Luzon.
The island was always infested with
bandits and was never safe for Euro
peans to travel in. Probably after the
end of The fighting the highwaymeD
will be more numerous, because the
members of Aguiualdo's army, who
have lived for years with guns in their
bands, have acquired taste for bush
life, and would rather continue as high
waymen than return to work.
Cavalry is greatly needed here. The
country, when dry, is superb for caval'
~ operations. The insurgents have
none. One of their strong points is
their ability 10 retreat rapidly. Cav
airy could overtake and hopelessly
scatter and punish them, and could sub
sist largely on the country. When cav
airy is once here, it should be given
chance 10 90 ahead, and not be kept in
towns for guard duty. Our greatest
successes have been gained when the
regimental commanders have been al.
lowed to quickly follow up the advan-
tages gained in battle. Small bodies OF
Americans, operating freely and COM
msuded by officers of dash and energy,
could badly break up the enemy. The
capture of Aguinaldo by cavalry would
be less difficult proposition than the
capture OF the Apache chiefs OF Ari-
Zona"

Hon. Myron H. McCord, Ex-Governor
of New Mexico, in letter to DR.. Hart

Gentlemen-At the suggestion of a
friend was advised to use Pe-ru-na for
catarrh, and after using one bottle be-
gan to feel better in every way. It
helped me in many respects. I was
troubled with colds, coughs, sore
throat, ETC., but as soon as l had taken
your medicine began to improve and
soon got we'll. take pleasure in recon-
mending your great remedy to all who
are afflicted with catarrh.-M. II. Nc
Cord.
Thousands of cases of chronic catarrh
have been cured by Pe-ru-na during the
past winter. In spite of changeable
weather, in spite of the natural set
backs from catching cold, and confne-
ment to illy-ventilated rooms, the great
catarrh remedy-Pe-ru-na- effect
ed these cures. But now spring is here.
The days are longer the sun is warmer,
and the blizzard is gone for another
year. This presents a much more favor
able opportunity 1of the pernaHent
cure of chronic catarrh, especially old,
stubborn cases. Now is the time to be-
gin treatment. Other things being
equal, one months treatment in the
spring is worth two months treat
ment during the Indictment weather of
winter. Insist upon having Pe-ru-na.
There are no successful substitutes for
this remedy. Send to DR.. Hartman. CO.

FREE TO MILLIONS OF
SUFFERERS.
The New Cure for Kidney, Bladder
and Uric Acid Troubles.

Almost everybody who reads the
newspapers is sure to know of Swamp.
Root, the great Kidney remedy.
It's the great medical triumph of the
nineteenth century; discovered after
years of scientific research by the EN-.
inent kidney and bladder specialist, DR..
Kilmer, and has truly wonderful pow.
ers in curing kidney, liver, bladder and
uric acid diseases.
Kidney trouble irresponsible for more
sickness and sudden deaths than any
other disease, and is so deceptive that
thousands have it without knowing it.
thousands owe their health and even
life to Swamp-Root, and thousands more
who to-day think themselves beyond
help, can be made well by the use OF
this great remedy. ss
Swamp-Root has been tested in 50
many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to
purchase relief, and has proved so sue.
cessful in every case, that a special ar.
rangement has been made by which all
readers of this paper, who have not al.
ready tried it, may have a sample bottle
sent absolutely free by mail. Also a
book telling more about Swamp-Root
and containing some of the thousands
upon thousands of testimonial letters
received from men and women who owe
their good health, in fact, their very
lives, to the wonderful curative proper
ties of Swamp-Root. Be sure and men
ton this paper when sending your ad.

If you are already convinced that
Swamp-Root is what you-need, you can
