The Cuban Army Muster Rolls.

The Cuban army muster rolls which
were recently delivered to Gov.-Gen.
Brooke through Senior Domingo Men
dez Capote are prepared in neat cleri-
cal style, the 200 broad sheets show
ing on their face AZ, 900 names-6, 900
commissioned officers and $4,000 nom
commissioned officers and privates.
The whole statement is in orderly ar
rangement of corps, regiment, bat
talon and company scores. The U. S.
military authorities make no attempt
to reconcile the $4,000 non-commis
stoned officers and privates indicated
by these rolls with the 1910 given in
the estimates prepared under the di-
recetion of the provincial governors.
The Americans will scrutinize the lat
ter carefully and when payments
begin the individuals named must be
identified by the various company cap
tains.

The minister of foreign affairs, Baron
Won Buelow, has announced to the
reichstag that an agreement had been
arrived at with Great Britain with re-
gard to sending commission to Samoa.
The Interpolation on Samoa was pre-
sented by DIR. Lehr, an extremist pan
German, and was replied to by the
minister of foreign affairs, Baron Won
Buelow. In the course of his remarks
the minister of foreign affairs, in part,
said: "In the interest of the tran
quilllty of Samoan and in the interest
of calmer relations between the pow
ers, should they find it advantageous
if the act has become inadequate, it
could be replaced by fresh arrange
ment, corresponding better with the
present situation. With this idea, L
said in the budget committee that we
were disposed to consent to clean
separation. As, however, the disad-
vantages of the situation were felt by
both the other powers equally with
ourselves, we have no occasion and no
need to make special proposals of our
own initiative. But so long as the
Samoan act exists it must be Loyalty
observed by all concerned

Mr.. Editor: For the good OF suffer
ing humanity, and particularly those
suffering from that most dreadful dis
ease, rheumatism, we desire to inform
your readers that the only specific in
the world today for this disease Is our
Five Drops" remedy. Five Drops
Is the name, and Five Drops Is the

rheumatism. This remedy not only
positively cures this disease, but it

diseases: Sciatica. Lumbago. Neural

Nervousness, Asthma, Heart Weak
ness, Toothache Earache, La Grippe,

but was perfected only after vast re-
search in scientific fields, and at great
expense. 1t never can be fully appre-
ciated until 1t is used. Many Of its
cures border on the miraculous. Words
are almost inadequate to express the
great benefit which suffering human
ity is daily deriving from the use OF
this most wonderful remedy Its
merits and medicinal properties are as
far above the other remedies offered

Three unknown men brutality as
saulted, robbed and left for dead, John
Haberstraugh, a German who lives
alone in small house four miles east

and then kicked him into insensibility.
They then completely ransacked Hab-
erstraugh's house, stole his horse and

Good Roads Amendment Carried.

Official returns from 35 counties give
the amendment relative to state

Wayne and Kent counties, which gave
the amendment majority of nearly
