Remarkable Cure for Rheumatic Govt
and DropsicaI Affections.

DIES MONIES, Ia, July 26, 1885,
Permit me to give you my exper
fence with the Oxydonor as it has
been worth it's weight in gold to me.
When l got the instrument from
you about four months ago was on
crutches and helpless with rheuma-
tic govt and dropsica affections,
and had been in that condition for
over five months. My limbs were
swollen to three times their normal
size, and although | had received
treatment from the best physicians
in the city, my case seemed to be
growing from bad to worse, and
had begun to think there was no
help for me. In three days after
applying the OXydonor l noticed
no improvements, which continued
and in three weeks l could get up
and walk without CrutChes and
from that on my improvement was
rapid and remarkable. My limbs
are now restored to their normal
size and free from pain, and my
general health is restored perfectly;
in fact, feel better than for wears,
and when my friends ask me what
think of the OXydonor. l say to
them it is the Srandest and most
valuable article / ever possessed.
Yours gratefully,
, Mrs. w. Il. JONES.

RAISES THE WAGES Of 1000 MEN.
Lake Carriers Associations Makes an Ad-
vance of 10 to 20 Per Cent.

Cleveland, Ohio. Sept 25.-As a result
of meeting OF the executive committee
OF the Lake Carriers Association, held
this afternoon. the wages Of nearly 1900
men employed on the vessels OF the Great
Lakes viii be raised from 10 to 20 per
cent, beginning October /. This includes
2,eo9 engineers. who demanded an advance
Of II IL per cent, and threatened TO strike
should IL not be conceded. Instead OF the
II IL per ce.-t asked for by the engineers
they will receive an advance of 20 per
cent.
The advance, as authorized by the ex-
ecutive committee, is as follows: First
and second mates, first and second engi-
neers, 20 per cent; all other members of
crews, including firemen. wheelmen. look
outs, cooks, deckhands, &c. 10 per cent.
On August Is last the Lake Carriers AS

total Of % per cent. increase since that
date.
Members Of the Lake Carriers Associa-
ton, when their attention was called 10
the fact that the engineers had been
given IL per cent more than they had

The three governments interested In
Samoa, Great Britain. Germany. and the
United States, have been considering the
claims arising out Of the bombardment
last summer. in which the American
forces under Admiral Kautz, and the
British forces. under Capt. Sturdee. par
ucipated. As a preliminary step the
British government has signifed pur-
pose TO adopt in this case the principle
observed in the damage done by the bonn
bardment Of Alexandria, Egypt, namely,
that private property destroyed as a nee
essary incident TO the prosecution OF naval
and military operations would be paid
for. While applying this general princi-
PIE, the adjustment OF the various claims
is yet 10 be made according to the cir
cumstances of each.
The claims are being considered under
two main heads, viz, those arising from
the joint naval operations OF the British
and the American forces. and. second.
those growing out OF the operations OF
the Samoan natives, chiefly the followers
Of Mataafa.
Shells Cause Slight Damage.
Under the first head, caused by the
British-American operations, are included
the claims resulting from the actual bonn
baTdment, such as damage done BY shells.
and also those resulting from the demoll-
tion OF buildings, and like incidental dam
age TO private property, which at times
became necessary as means of checking
the native uprising. The damage done by
shells and pTOjectiles has turned out 10
be comparatively small, and much the
larger amount is for the incidental de
struction and damage of houses an
property as a precautionary measure.
The second class of claims. growing out
of depredations by the Samoan natives,
has been more difficult of adjustment.
The officials have hesitated to impose a
heavy money burden on the Samoans, and
yet they have felt IL essential that the
Samoans should understand that they
cannot cause wholesale damage to the
property of the whites and then go free
of obligation. Thus far il has not been
possible to formulate even general prin-
ciple for considering this class Of claims.
Germany Not to lie MuIcieI.
It is understood that the British and
German authorities are agreed on the
general principle that the bombardment
and naval claims should be reimbursed.
This, however, II Is asserted, imposes
no obligation on Germany to share in
meeting the claims, as the German forces
Md not participate in the bombardment.
1t is said, also, that no proposition has
been made to have Germany pay a part
of the damage done by the Mataafa
forces. The course of the United States
has not yet been fully determined, either
as to the bombardment or the claims aris-
ing from native depredations.
So far as known, all the claims under
consideration are for property loss, there
being no present basis for estimating
claims for the loss of life among the Brit
tionS.

YAQUIS FIERCER THAN EVER
Waging Guerrilla Warfare Against
Mexican Troops.
Miners Driven Out of the Mountains Bring
Tales of Murder and BIoodshed-
Americans Leaving the Place
as Rapidly as Possible.

Austin, Tex, Sept. 25.-Judging from re-
ports reaching here to-day from Ortiz,
State of Sonora, Mexico, the Yaqui In
dian warfare is rapidly growing worse in
stead OF abaring. Lieut.. Majeran has ar
rived at Torres on his way to the City OF
Mexico to make official reports as 10 the
progress of the campaign. He says there
has been no cessation in the warfare be-
ing Waged against the Indians by the
Mexican government. He reports that the
Indians have scattered into small bands
and are now vigorously waging guerrilla
warfare, and that the Mexican soldiers
have adopted similar tactics.
They are divided into small scouting
parties, and there are frequent engage
ments between the soldiers and the In
diaHS. The Indians avoid open engage
mentS with the soldiers, rather harassing
them with attacks from secure positions
In the mountains and along the rough
mountain roads. not infrequently causing
much loss of life among the soldiers with
little harm to themselves.
Gen. Torres, in command of the Mexi-
cen troops, asks the Mexican War De-
pdrtment to send a force OF rurales 10 as
sist him, and il is thought they can rem
der very effective service against the In
d. MS. The Yaquis hold the rurales in
great dread, as they are their old-time
enemies and most formidable foe. Dur
ing the past ten days a great many min
ers have arrived at Ortiz, having been
driven out of the mountains by the threat
ening situation, and all bear tales Of mur-
der and bloodshed.
One dozen skirmish fights have resulted
in q number Of soldiers and Indians being
killed and several miners have lost their
lives. Many OF them have deserted paying
mines In order TO save their lives. The
entire country tributary TO the uprising Is
in q state OF ferment and all the Amer
leans are leaving as rapidly as possible.
Dividing the 30 diers into small squads
scatters the waf over a wider range OF
mountain territory and every section Of
the YaqUi country is terrorized.
