 It has been discovered beyond the question of a doubt that the gas re- gently discovered issuing from various places in a sandbar in the Colorado river, directly below the railroad bridge, has a commercial value, says | the Yuma Sun. With very simple apparatus the gas was made to burn for the period of five hours last even- ing producing a strong, steady flame. A small tin funnel was placed over a hole in the sand, and which emitted a quantity of gas, and when match was applied to the small end of the funnel flame shot up from it six or eight inches high and burned contin- ually. The gas is escaping from more than one hundred places in the liver bottom, indicating an unlimited sup ply. The original diSCoyererS, 0. II. Willis and Colonel Brooks, have To- cated a number of claims and will soon begin development of their find.
 Dr. A. J. Chandler, who recently re- turned to Mesa, from the east, spent most of the time while away with President Mann of the Hudson Reser- voir company, and together they yiS- ited many capitalists and presented the Hudson reservoir proposition to them. Dr. Chandler says that he is we'll satisfied with the result of his summers work. He says there is a | better chance of the Hudson reser- yOir being built now than ever eX- isted before, and investors look with more favor on the plan than they did. It has been proved beyond all question that the water can be stored as claimed by the company, some of the most eminent engineers of the coun- try having examined the proposition. The growth of the valley and it's gen. eral prosperity presents in clearer light the profit which will come to the men who put their money into stOr- age reservoir of such merit as the Hudson is known to possess.

 The county of Pinai has commenced suit against the sureties on the bond of defaulting County Treasurer r. R. Brady, Jr., for the sum of S6, l90. 0S, which dedication, the district attor- ney alleges, occurred since April l, 1899. It is understood, says the Flor. ence Tribune, the contention of the bondsmen will be that the shortage occurred long time prior to April l, and that the present bond is respon. slble for only a small proportion oi the amount. Be this as it may, it is more than likely that further suits will grow out of the case, involving other county officers for neglect oi duty in failing to make regular guar terly settlement with the treasurer as the law requires. It is claimed if thi! had been done the shortage would never have occurred.

A YOUNG P0IsONEP.

Used Rough on Rats With Deadly Eject
Three Victims Dead at His Hands.
Cincinnati, o., May 1S.-James
Weaver, colored, aged eleven years,
to-day confessed to having poisoned
his father, Woodson Weaver, and his
brother, John Weaver, on, Tuesday.
John Weaver died in few hours, and
W'oodson Weaver, though still alive,
has but slight cnance for recovery.
The lad said he found box of Rough
on Rats on the stove on Monday
nigt, and did not know wat it was.
He put in the coffee pot. The police
now believe the boy responsible for
the death of Woodson Weaver's second
wife and for the burning of the house
few months ago. The boys moth
er, Rachel Washington, was arrested
in Chattanooga to-day, charged with
having instigated the poisoning.
Later, young Weaver made detail
ed confession of his crime, admitting
the poisoning not only of his father and
step-brother, but also Of his step
mother, who died suddenly last April.
Weaver says he bought rough on rats
at drug store and put it in the coffee
pot used by his father and step-broth-
er. He has been identified by the drug
clerk who sold him the poison. Weaver
is now suspected Of poisoning Rev.
John H. Jackson, a colored Methodist
preacher, who died last Sunday. 1t is
said Jackson visited Weavers house
and the boy brought him a glass Of
water The boy denies this. He also
says he only meant to make his victims
sick. His mother. who was arrested
in Chattanooga to-day, has been re-
leased.

Havana, May 18.-The expected man.
ifesto of Gen. Maxine Gomez was IS
sued this evening. 1t reviews his part
in the negotiations with Governor Gen
eral Brooke and speaks Of his love for
Cuba and his sufferings on her behalf
in the past. Gen. Gomez says:
1.-THE hour has now arrived for me TO
raise nay voice in justification Of ny
position and to describe the arduous
work / have done since my first visit
to Gen. Brooke. l protested to him
against the sum offered by the United
States as insufficient to accomplish the
good intended. While waiting an an
swer to my protest, sought solution
of the question. Gen. Brooke, repre-
senting the chief magistrate of the
United States, answered his inability
to add to the sum already settled upon.
Spectators then attempted to in
tervene, offering suggestions whicn
were refused by me. They presened
proposition to the military assembly,
but that scheme was frustrated by
President McKinley's refusal to recog-
niZe that body. / deemed the forma-
ton of militia practical solution and
Gen. Brooke, who approved the idea,
asked me for summary Of my views
on the subject To this he replied that
10000 men were all it would be possible
to get from the former Cuban. army
without distinction as to race. My an
swer was sent TO President Mckinley
together with a personal letter giving
explicit reasons why such corps was
necessary.
Il had many conferences with Gen.
Brooke, in my endeavors to discover
such plan of payment as would not
exclude the men who had never car
ried arms. Gen. Brooke insisted upon
the surrender of arms before the receipt
OF money, and / also desired that such
arms as had already been surrendered
and such as should be surrendered here
after might be delivered to warehouses,
in the care of Cuban armorers, to be
paid out of the Cuban treasury. l do
not think it disgrace that the Cuban
soldiers should receive, from a govern
ment which is able to pay, sums that
will relieve their immediate needs.
Special certificates will be given to all,

This Ii plain because every or

stomach for it's noufishmeut.
Nerve, bone, sinew, blood are made
from the food which the stomach
converts to our use.
How useless to treat disease with
this, that and the other remedy
and neglect the most important Of
all, the stomach.
The earliest symptoms Of indi-
gestion are sour risings, bad taste
in the mouth, gas in stomach and
bowels, palpitation, all-gone feel
ing, faintness, headaches, constipa-
ton; later comes loss of flesh, con-
sumption, liver and heart troubles,
kidney diseases, nervous prostra-
ton, all of which are the indirect
result of poor nutrition.
Any person suffering from indi-
gestion should make it a practice
to take after each meal one Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, allow
ing it to dissolve in the mouth and
thus mingle with the saliva and
enter the stomach in the most
natural way. These Tablets are
highly recommended by Dr. Jenni-
son because they are composed Of
the natural digestive acids and
fruit essences which assist the
stomach in digesting all wholesome
food before it has time to ferment
and sour.

OF glorious struggle. In my judg-
ment, whether the arms were disposed
Of to the municipalities or to armorers,
1t would be all the same under the in
tervening government. The Cuban
commissioners, however, refused to
agree with Gen. Brooke and the Amer
leans and deliver up arms and receive
pay from the American paymasters
after Identification by their respective
chiefs"
After further praise Of General
Brooke's consideration, and declar-
alton of his cwn desire to correct an
error existing in Cuba with respect
to the United States, he goes on to
say:
Il did not act alone, as seems to be
popularity believed, but always con-
suited with our officers. My advice 70
you Low is to return to your homes
with the amounts offered by the inter
vening government and to practice pa
tience, which will be an additional
proof of your heroism. In this way
we shall reconstruct most rapidly the
homes consecrated by the blood of
martyrs, blood poured out in behalf
of a purpose now attained, and thus
begin this cycle of liberty with the
grandest prospects, preceded by the
heralds of future prosperity and
peace.
This work is your portion. Let no
pretext interfere with the attainment
of the Independent government for
which three generations of Cubans
have struggled with all sacrifices, and
which is now promised by noble ma
ton, pledged to obtain for us our
rights.
Meanwhile, l shall remain where l
am generously invited, among the
Cubans. l shall work without cessa-
ton for our aspirations, and in a mar
row sphere assigned me if necessary.
And if it happens that all logical and
just methods shall be exhausted with
out the desired result, l will go to
Washington and there tell Of Cuba and
her sacred ideals of an independent
republic, and will arbitrate the destiny
of our country, baptized with blood
and sanctified with our love of indie
pendence and liberty, which we will
never cease demanding in tones of
subtlest diplomacy for the sake Of the
nation that is to be in the near future,
always asking that independence and
liberty which we covet in the name of
right, civilization, justice and democ-
racy."
