TIE CADEZ SALT INDUSTRY.
4 Comparative Statement Of Exports
for 1890 anu 1901.

The salt industry at Cadiz has b,en

John Howell Carroll. the United States
Consul at that places Mr. Carroll. wit

II give below a comparative statement

It occurs TO me. I'm view Of the length
Of our seacoast. that we might produce
salt by the Spanish method that is. by
allowing the sun to evaporate the water
from what are known as pans small
ponds prepared for the purpose. of a uni
form depth Of about eighteen inches
three or four times a year and in time
there is left a deposit Of about three
inches Of salt, which is piled I'm the open
in the form Of small pyramids until sold.
This method has the advantage Of being
inexpensive and Of not requiring ma
Chinery. The only requisites are a hot
sun and a soil which will not permit the
water 10 filter through. as the salt in So

Miss stones Desperate situation.

When the news of Miss Stones cap
ture by bandits in Turkish territory
and Of the eXorbitaut demand for her
ransom first reached this country il
was announced that the American
Board of Foreign Missions. in whose
service the unfortunate woman was.
would pay the money and secure her
release. If the statement was made on
authority, the policy Of the board must
have changed. Now il is said that il
cannot lend itself to the establishment
Of so dangerous a precedent as the sur
render Of a large ransom for one OF
its missionaries. and that so far as the
orEanizatIcn is concerned. Miss Stone
must take her chances Of rescue by the
Turkish or Bulgarian authorities.
The case looks desperate for the cap
tive. The whereabouts Of the band
holding her as a prisoner is unknown.
There is an avenue Of communication
with its leader through which the time
limit for the payment of the one hun
dred and twelve thousand dollars de-
manded was extended from October 8
% October 5. If the Missionary Board
refuses 10 or cannot raise the cash and
deliver it on the final day fixed. and
nobody else can be found 10 subscribe
the sum necessary, Unhappily there is
little reason to doubt that Miss Stone
viii be murdered.
1t is due 10 the officials Of our State
Department TO say that they have been
doing all in their power TO effect the
rescue Of the lady. but what they are in
position 10 do is not anything great.
There Is evidence that the abduction
was aided by the Macedonian revolu-
tionary committee. and that the ran
som money is wanted for the purposes
OF its propaganda. As the Bulgariaus
are unanimously friendly 10 the Mace
DOMAIN movement. IL is doubtful If the
Government at Sofia would venture
upon drastic mea sures against the ban
dts. the chief of whom until recently
was president Of the committee. We
might bring pressure 10 bear upon Bull
garia. II there were time, provided that
the Sultan would allow American war

READ TO THE CABINET.
The Presidents Advisers Give Their
Full Enforcement of His Forth
coming Message.

Washington, Nov. 20. = President
Roosevelt read his message to the
members of the cabinet at the reg
ular meeting of his advisers to-
day. The entire session was devoted
to the reading of this document,
which is quite long, and, according
to the members of the cabinet, is an
able, straightforward message and
one that will please the people and
meet with their approval. The pres
ident read the message himself, and
paused frequently to comment upon
it and ask the opinion of the mem
bers of the cabinet. These interjec-
tons of President Roosevelt were of
the utmost frankness. The cabinet
members Endorsed the message as it
was written, and told the president
it met with their unqualified APP
proval.
1t has been said that the message
would be rather brief, but it is known
positively that it consists of not less
than $4,000 words. 1t required nearly
three hours to read and discuss it.

An outward application for bronchial diff
fculties is many times far more effective
than syrups, cough mixtures, cod liver on,
&C., simply because II penetrates through
to the direct cause, which is, as q rule, an
accumulation of matter or growth tightly
adhering to the bronchial tubes.
st. Jacobs Oil, possessing as 1t does those
wonderful penetrating powers, enables 1t
to loosen these adhesions and to induce free
expectoration. Cases have been known
where expectorations have been examined
after st. Jacobs Oil has been applied, and
the exact formation was clearly shown,
where the adhesions had been removed or
pulled off the bronchial tubes All irrita.
ton of the delicate mucous membrane of
the bronchae is quickly removed by the
healing and soothing properties of st. Ja-
cobs Oil. In cases of Group and whoop-
ing cough in children st. Jacobs Oil will be
found superior to any other remedy.
st. Jacobs Oil is for sale throughout the
world. 1t is clean to use-not at all greasy
or oily, as its name might imply. For rheu-
matism, govt, sciatica, neuralgia, cramp,
pleurisy, lumbago, sore throat, bronchitis,
soreness, stiffness, bruises, toothache, head
ache, backache, feetache, pains in the chest.
pains in the back, pains in the shoulders,
pains in the limbs, and all bodily aches and
pains it has no equal. 1t acts like magic.
Safe, sure, and never failing.

THE WAR IN conomBIH.
u. s. MARINES LANDED
The City Of Colon Captured
after a Stiff Night Bat-
tie In Which Sev-
era1 Hre Killed.

Colon, Colombia, Nov. 21.-On re-
ceipt of the news that Gen. Alban.
the military commander of the 18TH
mus, had started to attack the lib
erals at Chorrera, near Panama, the
latter detached 16o men, under Gen.
Patino, to attack Colon. This force
embarked on board train bound
from Panama to Colon Tuesday even
ing at Las Cascades station, previous
1y cutting telegraphic communication
across the isthmus. On arriving at
the outskirts of Colon, where the
government usually maintained a
small guard, the liberals left the
train and in the initial skirmish,
which began soon afterward, Patino
was killed. The command of the lib
erals then devolved on Col. FREDERICK
Barrera, and they continued their
march on Colon, arriving there few
minutes after the train, thus sur
prising the whole town. The govern
ment troops at Colon were outnum-
bered by the liberals.
Fighting Immediately began at the
Quartet (barracks), which was soon
taken. There Senior Jaen, a Judge of
the criminal court, was killed, and
Senior Muskus, the district repre-
sentative of the department of the
interior, was MORALLY wounded.
Fighting subsequently occurred at
the town hall, which was also taken
by the liberals. Among the prison
ers captured by the liberals were the
project, Guardia, and the command
ante of police. Senior Paroles, the
mayor, managed to reach the gun
boat General Pinzon, which sailed
Tuesday night for a destination I'M
known, probably Carthagena. The
whole affair was over in less than
three hours. A dozen or more men
were killed. and many wounded.
Communication with Panama was
restored Wednesday. This revealed

CANADA'S CAPITAL AROUSED.
Never Was There Such Excftement-
Physicians' Association Try
ing to Explain.

Ottawa, Can, Nov. 25.-This city is
stirred up as never before. Some seven
years ago the local papers published
an account of man named George
H. Kent, of 40s Gilmour street, who
was dying of Bright's Disease and
who at the very last momen It after sew
eral of our best physicians had de-
clared he couldn't live twelve hours,
was saved by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
People who know how low Mr.. Kent
was refused to believe that he was
cured permanently, and the other day
in order to clinch the matter the pa
pers published the whole case over
again and backed up their story by
sworn statements made by Mr.. Kent
in which he declares most positively
that in 1894 he was given up by the
doctors and that Dodd's Kidney Pills
and nothing else saved him, and furth-
err that since the day that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills sent him back to work seven
years ago, he has not lost single min
ute from his work Che is printer in
the American Note Printing Com
pany).
Mr.. Kent is kept quite busy during
his spare hours answering inquiries
personally and by letter. but he is so
grateful that he counts the time well
spent. Indeed he and his wife have
shown their gratitude to Dodd's Kid
ney Pills in very striking way by
having their little girl, born in 1896,
christened by the name of "Dodds."
Altogether 1t is the most sensational
case that has ever occurred in the his
tory of medicine in Canada and the
perfect substantiation of every detail
leaves no room to doubt either the
completeness or the permanency of
the cure.
The local Physicians have made the
case of Kent and Dodd's Kidney Pills
the subject Of discussion at several of
the private meetings Of their Associa-
ton. III

that no fighting had occurred there,
that everything was quiet, and that
the city was still in the hands of
the government. The issue now de-
ponds on the result of the fighting
which is doubtless now occurring at
Chorrea, news of which is anxiously
awaited here. The liberals are busy
raising reenforcements locally. They
are reported to have several hundred
men at different railroad stations
between here and Panama.
Marines Landed.
The United States gunboat Machias
landed detachment of marines here
Wednesday morning. They are now
guarding the railroad station and
other property of the road. At a
conference between Commander Nc
Crea, of the Machias; United States
Consul Malmors, Col. Shaler, superin-
tendent of the Panama railroad, and
Col. Barrera, the commander of the
liberals, the latter was informed
why the marines had been landed
from the Machias. Berrera promised
to guard the city with his troops.
Causes Commotion mt Washington.
Washington, Nov. 21.-The con-
firmation of the reported capture of
Colon by the Colombian liberals
caused decided commotion in the
state and navy departments Wednes-
day. There were long conferences
between Secretary Long and Admiral
Crowninshield and between the admir-
al and the acting secretary of state,
DR.. Hill. Later the~two last named
went over to the white house and
saw President Roosevelt. This was
the first time since 1885, when Adj
miral Jouett opened up transit
across the isthmus of Panama, that
communication had actually been
stopped in such fashion as to seem
to require the interference of the
United States naval forces.

THREE CAMPS DESTROYED.
Marines Attack Almost Impregnable
Position mt SOjoton, Samar,
with Complete Success.

Manila, Nov. 21.-Maj. L. w. T. Wal
Ter, of the marine corps, has cabled
Rear Admiral Rodgers, at Manila, a
full and detailed account of the at
tack, November Z, by the men of his
command upon the rebel stronghold
at Sojoton, near Basey, island of
Samar. Three insurgent camps were
destroyed, 40 bamboo cannon were
captured, and much rice and other
stores were destroyed. The rebel
stronghold was almost impregnable.
The trials leading to it were lined
with poisoned spears sticking from
the ground and were filed with hid
den pitfalls. Maj. Walters command
attacked the enemy unexpectedly.
To do this they had to scale cliff
200 feet high; this they climbed bare
footed over bamboo ladders.

which with the shafts of the mine
acted as chimney.
The day shift of 200 men had just
gone on duty, and before they could
be warned of their danger the levels
and the slopes were filed with gas.
AS soon as the men became aware
of their danger efforts were made to
reach the surface through various ex-
it's, and about half of those in the
mine escaped. 1t will be impossible
to ascertain the number still in the
mine for several hours, on account of
the gas in some of the levels.
The fire rapidly burned itself out,
but the mine was so filed with smoke
that it was six hours before recruit
ing parties could penetrate the slopes
where the unfortunates were. At
one o'clock the first body was recov-
cred, and at $3.50 20 dead had been
removed from the mine.
