BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat OF an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are ali due to the
same cause, acid and other poisous in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action OF the skin.
To have smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used i'll this class of diseases cover up
for short time, but cannot remove per-
Inanently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfguring piuiples.

HAGERsToWN, Md, July 17.-From
Hancock comes the report of the discovery
by some boys of an old cannon. which it s
claimed was buried along Warm Spring
Run by General Braddock. At only :.
short distance from where the muzzle of
the cannon was found protruding from the
bank Of the stream the boys picked up an
English sovereign in the water, which
gives n shade of creGence TO the legend
that Braddock buried a cannon filled with
English gold coin at or near the mouth
of Warm Spring Run.

GENERAL WOOD ARRIVES.
Comes to Washington after a Brief
Stop in New York.

NEW YORK. July i7.-Governor General
Wood, his family. and aides arrived here
this morning from Havana on the steam
ship Havana There were sixty other pas
sengers on the Ship who were detained at
Hoffman Island for observation. During
this period of quarantine General Wood S
family were the guests of DR.. Doty at
Quarantine. The general left for Wash
ington this afternoon to consult with the
Secretary of War.
At Quarantine this morning General
Wood said:
Everything is going smoothly in Cuba.
/ have not been called home to consult
about the removal of troops from Cuba to
China. but to talk over general matters in
relation to my post in Cuba.
The Chinese question has affected me
greatly, and the family loss is a great
shock. l would rather not say anything
more just now. l would like however to
go to China. No; do not know that 1
will be selected for command. but want
to go. My family will stop with DR.. D. ty
until Thursday. and shall go on to Wash-
ington as soon as possible
The effects of the recent elections, -
'inued~ the general, have proved be-
yond question~that the Cubans are in favor
OF an honest ballos Their example in this
respect might be extremely useful TO some
other nations. The proposed Co ST ution-
al Convention will be one OF the most M
portant events in the entire history o. the
island. 1t viii be the logical ending of the
reforms already carried out"
What do you think of the Cuban as an
administrative of1icer? reporter asked.
1T isn't my practice to criticise any
body answered General Wood, with a
smile
General Wood was of the opinion that
another epidemic of yellow fever in Ha-
vana would never take place SO long as
the present code of sanitary regulations
was observed. No definite steps will be
taken until fall, he said, in regard to the
proposed changes in the marriage laws OF
Cuba. MY chief effort now" he explain
ed " is to get at the native feeling in the
matter so far as possible. AS you know
the present law. which was issued a year
ago, makes invalid marriage by religious
forms alone. ard requires the civil cere-
mony in every case as we'll.
The plan now proposed is to clothe the
priests and ministers of all denominations
with civil authority, making them civil Of
fcers, in fact SO far as that one function
is concerned. and thus empowering them to
peTioim DOM ceremonies. IN case native
sentiment is found to be clearly in favor
Of the change. as seems at present likely.
the plan will be put into effect by gen.
eral order. If, however, 1t seems to be
opposed by any considerable portion of the
population, it will be submitted to popu-
lar vote"

ba. arrived in Washington from New York

AT TWILIGHT.
Written for The Tribune:

Written for The Tribune:
In the old home alone at twilight grey,
As night folds her robes o'cr Thanksgiving day
am dreaming again by the frclight's glow
The beautiful dreams OF the long ago.
Long ago, when my wayward feet
Wandered mid flowers wild and sweet
When hearts were golden and skies were blue,
And life reflected each glorious hue.
When the dearest JOY of the gladstone earth
Was the blush of arbutus, the violct's birth,
And the deepest of all my childish woes
Was watching the bright petals fall from the rose.
Pale is the blossom bushing knew
And its leaf ovcrfowing with tears of dew.
The violet sobs as she droops her head,
"You love me not as you loved the dead.
Rambling DER mossy ruins gray,
Is the eglantinc of the years, and today
It's bright thorns gleam in the autumn sun,
But its blossoms have fallen, one by one.
All! know full wel-for my tho'ts will stray
As sit alone in the shadows gray,
Tho the arbutus blossom and sweet briar grows
That every petal is gone from the rose.

GERMANY MORE BITTER.
The Anti-English Feeling is Stead
lily Growing.

The Anti-English Feeling is Stead
lily Growing.
BERLIN, January 5.-The seizure of
the Bundesrath remains the dominant
ttopic of the German press. Infuen-
tial papers like the Berliner Tageblatt,
Cologne Volks Zeitung, Berliner Neu-
este Nachrichten, Hamburger Cores
pondent, and the semi-official Berliner
Post strongly hint at the possibility of
Germany's forming an anti-British CO.
alition with Russia and France.
The anti-British feeling is clearly
growing. A series of anti-British dem
onstrations in the various cities is be-
ing organized by the Pan-Germanic
League.
A prominent official of the German
Foreign office, who was interviewed
this evening by the correspondent of
the Associated Press, said that Great
Britain had not yet answered Ger
many's request for an explanation Of
the seizure, but that the reply was ex-
pected in the course of a few days.
The foreign offices, according to this
official, has not yet concluded that
Great Britain is trying to ride rough
shod over Germany.
The correspondent asked what posi-
ton Germany takes regarding English
right to search German ships on the
high seas. The official answered that
nothing could be divulged at this stage
of the negotiations, but he pointed out
that the Bundesrath was sailing for a
Portuguese port On being asked what
Germany would do should it turn out
that the Bundesrath was carrying con-
traband, he gave noncommittal re-
ply, but conveyed the impression that
such discovery would seriously dam
age Germany's case.
The Associated correspondent then
asked whether Germany had taken
steps to be represented at Durham dur
ing the investigation of the cargo. To
this inquiry an evasive answer was
given, but the Official replied that Ger
many would undoubtedly take this
course if the British right should be
adverse.
