Are to Be Pressed Against the
United States.
WE GET THEM WITH CUBA
LOSSES SUSTAINED DURING RE-
BELLION AGAINST SPAIN.
British, French and German Resi-
dents Preparing Schedules to Be
Presented to This Government,
Asking That They Be Reimbursed
Question as to Responsibility.

| Washington, May 1.-THE state de-
partment has been informally advised
that claims aggregating considerable
amount have been made by British,
French and German residents in Cuba
during the recent instruction, and that
these ultimately will be pressed against
the United States government. The
! claims themselves have not yet been
presented, but are being collected by
| the several foreign offices as the claim
ants send them in. In some cases sched-
uleS have been made, and the aggregate
stated TO the authorities here. The
French claims aggregate between f.
| 600. 000 and $4,000. 900 francs. The German
claims are understood to be slightly
under those of the French, while the
British claims are said 10 be consider
ably more than either the French or
the German.
These foreign claims are quite dis
tinct from those of citizens of the Unit
ed States originally against Spain for
damages sustained in Cuba during the
instruction. The peace treaty spe-
officially provided for these American
claimants, releasing Spain and stating
that the United States would make
such settlement as was proper. Under
this clause claims aggregating several
however, was made by the treaty for
foreign claimants. and there appears 10
be much doubt as to who is liable, since
the sovereignty of Cuba has passed
from the hands of Spain.
Question of Liability.
The United States. having undertaken
to look after the Americans claims, the
foreigners are DESTROYS of being treated
in the same manner II was stated at
one Of the foreign establishments that
there was no disposition to push the
claims unduly. but to bring them TO the
attention of the United States govern
ment, in order that the question of LA
bihty might be determined and such re-
lief granted as the merits of the cases
warranted.
1t is appreciated in these foreign
quarters that payments will be largely
a matter of discretion with the United
States, as the obligation to look after
the American claimants was assumed
voluntarily, and there is no obligation,
either in the treaty or on general prin-
ciples of law, for assuming the claims
growing out of Spain's inability to
maintain order in Cuba during the
period of Spanish rule.
These foreign claims cover damages
to plantations. personal property, etc,
of French, British and German resi-
dents of Cuba, and are not connected
with the bonded debt of Cuba in for
eign hands, which debt was assumed
in Spain.

Do You surfer From Piles?

If YOU only knew what thousands of
neople have learned you would suffer
no longer. Surgery has been the only
radical help for hemorrhoids (protrud-
ing piles), and that often fails. The dis
coyery that the common buckeye is a
specific for these troubles makes it easy
to do what operations have frequently
failed to do. Tabler's Buckeye Pile
Ointment positively cures every form
of piles-blind. bleeding. itching and
protruding. The remedy that has cured
thousands will not fail in your case.

Lawyer who Was Not Hunting
Litigation over Land.

- nv NOV bunI1nE
Litigation over Land.
Lewiston Journal.
It's the canny old bird that cannot be
caught with the hirdlime of litigation.
You've probably heard of Lawyer Hack
EFT, of Somerset. A little while ago he
purchased some land over which there
had been a lawsuit for years, until the
parties had spent half a dozen times what
the land was worth. Hackett knew all
about 1t. Some of the people wondered
why he wanted to get hold of property
with such an incubus of uncertainty on
1t. Others thought that perhaps he want
ed some legal knitting work, and would
pitch in red-hot to fight that line-fence
question on his own hook
That's what the owner of the adjoining
land thought SO he braced himself for
trouble when he saw Hackett coming
across the fields one day.
Said Hackett: whats your claim here
anyway, as to this fence?"
81 insist" replied the neighbor, that
your fence is over on my land two feet at
one end and one foot at least at the other
end
well" replied Hackett, ''you go ahead
just as quick as you can and set your
fence over. At the end where you say
that 1 encroach on you two feet set the
fence onto my land four feet. At the
other end put 1t onto my land two feet"
but" persisted the neighbor, that's
twice what 1 claim
Il don't care about that" said Hack
EFT. There's been fight enough over this
land. l want you to take enough so you
are perfectly satisfied You have your
rights, and then we can get along all
pleasantly. Go ahead and help your
self"
The man paused, abashed. He had
been ready to commence the old struggle
tooth and nail. But this move of the new
neighbor stunned him. Yet he wasn't to
be outdone in generosity. He looked at
Hackett
Squire" said he that fence amt go
ing to be moved an inch. I don't want
the blamed old land. There wasn't nothin'
to the fight but the principle of the
thing"
Now. isn't human nature an interesting
study?

WART QUESTION.
Experience of Yankee in Buying
and Selling Warts.

anu SCAlIhB
New York Sun. ~
My father told me when I was a boy
about seven years old, sixty-three years
ago, that his brother Justin had a large
seed wart which greatly troubled him,
and he asked my father to buy 1t, the
condition of the. purchase being that
when 1t became troublesome Justin should
repUrchase it. Thus they bought and sold
the wart many times, until at last it dis
appeared.
l told the sorry to my schoolmates and
one boy, Zina Doolittle said my father
was liar. Being DESTROYS of proving my
fathers statement true, l offered to, and
did, purchase all the warts on Doolittle's
right hand, the same to appear on my
right hand. Some of the boys tried to
count them. His hands were almost COW
cred with them, the estimated number
being 100. All were small except one old
seed wart, about midway between the
thumb and wrist joint. For the warts
I gave him a pin, placed on the inside of
his coat sleeve. When the pin was lost
the warts should appear on my hand. In
less than three months I counted 100
warts on my hand including the seed
wart, which took the place on my hand it
had occupied on his.
Another boy still believed the whole
thing a lie, and backed his belief by pur-
chasing my warts. In this sale 1 made
one reservation-the seed %art. A pin
was the purchase price. AS before, in
less than three months his right hand
was covered with warts and l had only
the one seed wart. 1 remained on the
farm until I was fifteen years old, and
that wart was forever being torn half
out I stole pork and rubbed pebble
stones on it and wrapped them nicely in
paper for some one to pick up, and many
other things 1 did, but the wart would
not 60 I could not find purchaser for
It, When I came to the city to learn
trade that old seed wart was a constant
trouble One day 1 thought 1 would try
something new. I took a PIN touched the
wart with it, threw the pin out Of the
window and babe the wart to go look for
the pin In a short time the wart cru1n-
bled and disappeared. L then announced
that had sovereign remedy for warts,
and as several in the shop had warts 1
made them place their hands behind them
so they could not see what l did, and in
every case the wart went as promised
For several years 1 had people after me
to cure their warts, and l was invariably
successful until one day l told what 1
dill to them, and my skill went with the
secret.

INK JOKE.
1t Scared a Tramp Into a wild RIM
for a Hospital.


Philadelphia Inquirer
A middle-aged specimen of the eanus
hobo wandered into an all-night place of
business in the central part of town along
about 2 o'clock in the morning. He was
ragged and dirty and one of the fingers
on his right hand was wrapped up in a
rag, as if at some recent time it had been
injured and had come under a surgeon q
care.
Settling himself in corner the hobo
proceeded to go to sleep. He hadn't been
there long, however, before the only EN-
ploye of the establishment then on duty
discovered him.
Here, you can't sleep here" eiaculat
ed the employee, shaking the man by the
shoulder. Get out as quickly as Won
can"
The hobo rubbed his eyes, stretched
himself and made as If to obey the order.
Immediately the employees back was
turned, though, he settled himself once
more to sleep.
When the employe found this out he
was mad all over. At first he was tempt
ed to call q policeman and have the fell
low locked up, but he changed his plan
of action on catching a glimpse of the
wrappedup ringer.
Getting a big piece of paper to protect
the floor he placed it at the hobos feet
Then he took a Dig bottle or red ink and
poured half of its contents on the rag
around the hobos finger. The remainder
Of the ink he spilled on the paper After
returning the bottle to its place he once
more grabbed the sleeper by the shoulder
Great Scott man he exclaimed, fill
ing his voice with alarm and shaking the
hobo until the latter's head nearly came
off his shoulders. You are bleeding to
death Look at that, and that
The hobo opened his eyes wide enough
this time. Giving one look at the ink
saturated rag and another at the pool of
supposed blood at his feet, he emitted
yell that could have been heard half a
mile away in the stiffness of the early
n: = ling and darted for the street.
(which hospital is de neardest?" he
stopped long enough to ask, in frightened
tones, just before reaching the door, de
Jefferson?''
YEP replied the perpetrator Of the
Joke, land you'd better get there lively
if you want to live tilf tomorrow"
Half minute later the hobo's feet were
beating the liveliest kind of a tattoo to-
ward Tenth and SAMSON streets. What
the hospital folks said to him when they
discovered that the blood was ink, or
what the hobo thought when told of the
discovery, the young man who was re-
sponsible for it all never learned. Meth
er was he ever bothered by that particu-
lar tramp again, and that was his main
object after all.

South Dakota May Have No En-

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Aug. 6.-(Spe-
ial.)-The removal a short time ago by
Gov. Lee of one of his appointees on the
state board of embalmers, as the result
of serious charges has left the at
fairs of the board in very unsettled
condition. The governor has not yet Sc
lected a successor to the deposed member.
AS the compensation allowed by the leg
islature to the members of the board has
already been exhausted, the gentleman
selected by the governor to fill the Vacan-
cy now existing on the board will have to
be patriotic enough to serve nearly year
without any compensation whatever.
Just what will be done with reference
to the reorganization of thase undertake
ers whose applications FOR licenses, under
the new law, were it is charged, unjust
ly rejected by the state board as original
Iy constituted is not known, as there is no
money available to cover the expense of
holding new examinations. Taking 1t all
together the affairs of the state board Of
embalmers are in a badly muddled condi-
ton, and it is likely that an entirely new
start will have to be made, as there is
little question that every official act of
the board thus far is void.

We're just on the point of leaving their

turned it over, more in idle curiosity than
anything else, and the right fell on a
huge mass of what appeared to be vir-
gin gold, almost heavier than he. strong

men saw at a glance that their fortunes

tent as If nothing had happened.
In the dead of night they went back
to their claim, carried off the nugget.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Aug. GA dis
patch from Ashland states that several
men have contracted an incurable and
mysterious disease while working in a
tannery at Mellen, a few miles south of
Ashland, where hides which are imported
direct from the Orient are being tanned
There is no reference to the bubonic
plague in the dispatch, but from what
Mr.. Snyder, of the Zoehriaut Leather
company, of this city, said today, there
seems to be some ground for the belief
that the malady has worked its way in
to Wisconsin. He said it was a common
thing for Wisconsin sole leather tanners
to go to Asiatic countries, especially In
dia, for their leather, and that a great
deal of it was brought from South Amer
lea as well.
1.-The man who is suffering from this
unknown disease said Mr.. Snyder, "un-
doubtedly handled a dry hide put up by
some man who was suffering from the
plague, or whatever it proves to be, and
the germs were brought to Wisconsin in
this way, to be planted in the hands Of
the employees of the Mellen tannery.
These sole leather hides are used here be-
cause the leather is not fit for other
uses, being scratched. They make good
sole leather"
DR.. U. o. B. Wingate. secretary Of
the state board of health. said that he
would notify the representative of the
beard at Ashland to look into the matter.
1t was DR.. Wingate's opinion, however
that the disease mentioned in the Ash
land dispatch was nothing more nor less
than what is known as maligant pestule,
a germ poison disease which is rarely if
ever cured when once in the blood of
a human being.
Another tanner said he believed that
disease is what is called among tanners
wool storers' disease" He had known
of a number of cases. all of which had
proved fatal, and 1t had been contract
ed only by men who handled hides
brought from India or China.
Dr. Wingace was unwilling to say that
the disease was not the hubonic plague,
but he added, 81 am quite confident
that 1t is not, although almost any
thing is possible nowadays, and I shall
see that the matter is thoroughly investi

FAKE CURIos.
Very Few Antiques Found In the
Auction Rooms Are Genuine.

Very Few Antiques Found In the
Auction Rooms Are Genuine.
A well-known curio expert states that
there are factories in Europe for the
manufacture of all kinds of works of art
that are likely to attract the collector.
Modern articles of china are stamped
with odd marks so cleYerly that even eX-
perts have been deceived Arms and
armor are treated with acids which eat
away the metal thus producing the same
effects as the ravages of time. Carved
worries are stained with oils to make
them yellow, and are subjected to heat to
make them crack. Pieces Of furniture
have holes drilled to represent the worn
holes, and so on, until there will in time
be very little in the way of curios which
are in themselves really curious. Paris
is one of the strongholds of this class of
forgers, while in Hungary there IS a
factory where Dresden china is initiated
in fair manner. There is, however, one
safe way, and that is to buy through
reputable dealers. Forgeries in all works
of art very rarely get into the dealers
hands. AS rule they are sent to auction
rooms.
Many amateurs have an idea that they
may pick up a priceless work of art or a
curio for mere song. That is the chance
for the forgers. They know all this and
work accordingly, and thus the amateur
is deceived. The spurious curio makers
haunt out-of-the-way auction rooms,
where amateurs look in with the idea
that nobody but themselves can know of
the room in question. The sale takes
place and they come away with a gem,
so they think, and are perfectly happy
until undeceiVed. There has, curiouSly
enough, in this connection, lately been
discovered a disease which eats away
bronze and gives 1t a sign of antiquity.
All objects of antiquity fabricated from
metallic copper and its important alloy,
made by adding tin in certain proper
tons, are liable to be attacked by this
destructive corroding affection. Skilled
artists of these forged antiquities are
known to inocuate their reproductions
with spots of bronze disease.
