COUNTESS DE WAR GETS DECREE
London Divorce Court Restores Her
ConjugaI Rights.

London, March 19.-The divorce
court today granted Countess De La
War decree providing for the restor-
alton for her conjugal rights. The case
was not defended.
Counsel for the countess told how De
La War visited South Africa In 1899
and returned in 1900, and since when
their relations had been most unhap-
py. Last June the respondent left the
family mansion and had not since lived
with his wife. In December the coun-
tess wrote to my Dear Cantelupo," in
viting him to return and restore to her
all her wifely rights. The earrs reply
was prompt and uncompromising. my
dear Marie it began, II have come to
the conclusion that 1T will be much bet
ter If we live apart. and have finally
decided not to return and live with
you. have no explanations to give of
the reasons for my decision" The
countess went into the witness box and
gave just sufficient evidence of her
husbands desertion to justify decree
for the restitution of her conjugal
rights.

CHAIN is only as strong as its weak

the human bodya weak heart, stomach,

In many instances irregular menstruation
is the weak link in a woman's health, and
cold in this instance especially is attended
by narrowing results. Menstruation be-
comes suppressed and painful and excruci-
ating suffering results. The nerves give
way and ailments multiply fast until dis
ease has weakened the whole system.
Meanwhile the weak link bearing such a
terrible strain snaps. Death is the broken
chain.

ANOTHER BENNETT VICTIM.
Body of w. r. McNamara Found j
River at Beaumont,

Beaumont, Texas. March 19.-Anoth-
er body was found in the Neches river
and fully identified as that of w. r. Nc
Namara, painter, we'll known here. The
man was undoubtedly murdered, as his
left jaw was broken and there was a
confusion over the right temple. The
body was found 100 yards from the
Southern Pacific , drawbridge, near
where several others We're found. Nc
Namara disappeared two weeks ago.
The officers declare that he was a vic
tim of the Matte" Bennett gang of
robbers and murderers Baumont citi-
zens are expressing angry threats. The
fact that aonother arrest, that of Joe"
Hood one of the white men implicated
by Matte" BENEFITS confession, was
made Friday night, and the prisoner
lodged in Jail, is. however, having
qhieting effect, as confidence in the of
1icers' ability to round up the whole
gang is felt. The body of Mcnamara
had evidently been in the water from
ten days to two weeks. A thousand
persons saw 1t taken from the water.
There is talk of exploding dynamite in
the Neches river to bring to the surface
any other bodies. The arrest of Hood,
which was effected at Silsbee, is re-
garded by Sheriff Landry as an impor-
tant one. Matte" Bennett, the self
confessed leader, charged him in her
confession with being one of the gang.
He admits knowing the woman, but
declares his innocence of any connec-
ton with either the murders or rob-
berries

fetal circles that the fact Of General
Miles application must have come
from one of the very few persons who
knew all the facts and that the person
who gave the information was not the
president or the secretary of war.
The part of the incident which was
not fully reported in the first accounts
OF General Miles request for detail in
charge of the Philippines campaign,
was that which relates 10 the form of
the presidents answer. The last time
General Miles called on the president
it was for the purpose of discussing his
plan for ending the war in the islands.
His application had been made in
writing to the secretary of war; and
Mr.. Root had recommended against its
acceptance. There is reason to believe
that when General Miles called on the
president to argue the matter and dis
cuss in detail his plans for carrying
on the campaign in the Philippines, he
did not meet with a more cordial re-
ception than on the previous occasion,
when the president summonde him to
reproye him for his comments on the
Schley case. He was told in very
plain terms that it would be unjust
to the officers who fought out the cam
paign in the Philippines to assign
new officer. whose ideas contemplate
a radical and questionable plan of
pacifying the islands. The president.
expressed his regret that
the offer of services should have come
only after the work of pacification is
completed.
This, in general, was the character
OF the presidents answer but the
words he used, which We're of a char
vigorous kind, and known
only to two or three persons, have not
been quoted. The war department Of
ficials are chagrined that the fact of
General Miles application should have
been made public, for it was agreed
between the president and General
Miles, at the latter's request. that
nothing should be said about it.

Fistie Bout for Denver Ladies.

Denver, Col, March 19.-Local So
ciety, having yearned for the pleasure
of a prize fight, the Denver Athletic
Club members have decided to crafty
the longing by giving Il smoker next
Friday night, with a program specially
devised to meet the approval of their
lady friends, who have frequently
sought the male prerogative of witness
ing real bout.
Prof. Gallagher, manager of the
arena, says he will produce d pair OF
fighters who will give real bout and
not "a paper affair Blood and all the
other embellishments that go to make
UP such an affair will not be spared.
1t is more than likely that Kid Par
ker and Young Spitz" will be the stars.
especially as the former has won the
admiration of the women by declaring
himself a vegetarian in his diet.

After reading the letters of Madam Mar

thing for an afflicted woman to do is to 90 to

You can begin the treatment today in the

Do not go on suffering for years like

poli+;e,I Status of Cuba.

Washington, March 19.-Representa-
tive jenkins. of Wisconsin, has intro
duced resolution directing the house
committee on judiciary to report on q
number of questions relating to the po-
litical status of Cuba, viz: Is Cuba, as
far as the United States is concerned
foreign or domestic territory? Has the
United States exercised sovereignty
over the island and it's people? Has the
United States the title to the island
and if not, where does the title rest
Numerous other questions are asked by
the resolution. Mr.. Jenkins holds that
when the sovereignty of Spain over
Cuba ended it was vested in the United
States, and can not be in a suspended

REBUFF FOR MILES.
His Offer to Go to the Philippines
CURLY Rejected by the President.

Washington. March 19.-There are
two sides to the story that Lieut. Gen
Nelson A Miles, commanding genera!
of the army, asked to be allowed to
conduct the campaign in the Philip
pines, and met with a prompt refusal
from the president and the secretary
of war One side has been told, but
the other will probably never become
fully known, unless the president him
self tells 1t.
Altho Secreatry Root and the of
ficials of the war department declined
to discuss the matter, it is known that
the report of General Miles having APP
piled for duty at he head of the mill
tary forces in the Philippines is true
Secretary Roots answer to the in
quiry on the subject was: II will not
talk about it, | do not care to discuss

Note of Peace.

London, March 19.-Word comes
from The Hague that Mrs. Eloff, wife
of Mr.. kruser's private secretary
sailed for South Africa on Saturday
and that her husband expects to fol-
low her speedily.
The inference drawn by some people
at The Hague is that Eloff will carry
letters from Mr.. Kruger which may
have a decisive effect in ending the
war. The generalization is an elastic
one, but without doubt well-informed
people at The Hague are concinced
that negotiations are in grogress and
peace nearer than is generally sup
posed.

Disfranchisement Resolution Likely t.
Precipitate Row in the House.
4 Washington, March 19.-The hous'
committee on rules, by divided vote
on party lines, has decided to report thi
resolution of Representative Crum-
packer, of Indiana, for a special com
mittee of thirteen members to invesu.
gate and report on the alleged disfran-
chisement of voters in some of the
states.
The two democratic members of the
committee. Representatives Richard
son, of Tennessee. and Underwood OF
Alabama, protested against reporting
the resolution. and. when it was or
dered to be reported by the affirmative
votes of the republican members of the
committee Speaker Henderson and
Representatives Dalzell and Grosve-
nor) the democratic members con-
suited their colleagues on the floor OF
the house and began considering the
advisability of expressing their dissent
by resorting to the most extreme de-
vices OF parliamentary procedure, even
to the extent of stopping the regular
procedure of the house. That this eX-
treme step shall be taken has not yet
been decided on, as Messrs. Richardson
and Underwood, after conferring with
other democratic members, said that
action of the character contemplated
should not be taken unless there is the
most complete concurrence by the mi
nority and a determination in advance
to make a most determined contest.
To this end it is the intention to sub
init the matter to a democratic caucus,
probably tonight. A caucus already has
been called for tonight to consider the
Boer war. Under the caucus rules it
will require unanimous consent to con-
slider anything outside the Boer subject.
Eut, in view of the general sentiment
among democratic members, ii is eN-
pected that unanimous consent will be
given to consider this disfrancH sement
question. Otherwise another caucus
will be called.
One OF the minority parliamentarians
said:
"The business OF the house is largely
done by unanimous consent the court
esy of the minority yielding a strict
conformance to the rules But the MI
nority has the power to withhold
unanimous consent and to require
constitutional vote under the rules on
every question arising.
Without unanimous consent, even
the approval of the journal will require
a roll call and 1t will take a week to
pass bridge bill. The minority will be
cautious in going to this extreme, and
will not take such a step unless assured
In advance OF a united following. If the
step is not taken it will be-only because
CT the question of propriety of resorting
10 such extremes.
1T is stated that the movement on
the part of the minority is directed not
only against the Crumpacker resolu-
ton, with a view to contesting it's
adoption to the last extreme, but ALSO
to other legislation, so as to embarrass
and harass at every point"
The action of the committee on rules
in favor of the Crumpacker resolution
VIII not be reported to the house for
about ten days, as Grosvenor. who is to
make the report, will be out of the city

STATEMENTS
MISLEADING
Four and Six Men Divide
the Wages in the Coal
Fields.
EXPLANATION WAS ASKED
General Manager May Says it
Will Be Difficult to Show
How Many Figure in
One Pay.
EXPLANATION WAS ASKED

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 17.--The miners
the coal strike commission, the fathers
of two of the little girls who had testi-
fed on Monday that they worked all
night in the silk mills. The operators
yesterday submitted wage statements
showing that one of these men and his
laborer received $1,6S1; and the other
and his laborer were paid $1,4O0 last
year. John Demko, father of one of
the girls, said four and some time six
men figured in the division of the 1,4O0.
The other miner claimed that four men
divided the $1,6S1. After the witness
left the stand, Chairman Gray asked
for an explanation from the Pennsylva-
mia Coal Company regarding the wages
of the men. The wages mentioned by
the company, We're handed to the COM
mission some days ago and did not in
dicate that more than two persons fig
ured in the distribution. w. A. May,
general manager Of the Pennsylvania
Coal Company, explained that because
of the system in vogue in the COM
pany's mine, it would be difficult to
show in every case how many men
shared in one pay. c. S. Darrow for
the miners, said the miners had no con-
filence in the figures submitted by the
company, AMI added that the way they
were handed in was unfair.

ELECTION CONTESTS
Five Republicans Elected by Good
Majorities to Be 0usted if Their
Democratic Opponents Can
Have Their Way.
BITTER FIGHT on STOCKTON FOR THE HOUSE
Special to the New Mexican.

Special to the New Mexican.
Ration, Dec. 17.--Contests have been
initiated in this county by the defeated
Democratic candidates against M. B.
Stockton, Republican member-elect of
the house of representatives; against
Marion Littrel, Republican sheriff
elect; against ]. p. Bracket, Republic
can county clerk-elect; Juan Santiste-
van and John C. Taylor, Republican
members of the board Of county COM
missioners-eleet. A coterie of the lead
ing Democrats, headed by M. M. Sala-
zar former Democratic county clerk,
have employed John Morrow, a Demo-
cratic lawyer, and A. c. Vorhees, sup
posed to be Republican, but who ran
as a independent candidate for assessor
and who was defeated as the attor-
neys to prosecute the cases. The Re-
publicans named above are defending
themselves and much testimony for
them has already been taken. Charles
r. Abreu, the defeated Democratic
candidate for member of the house
from this county, bases his contest up
on the assumption that he will be able
to get some help from certain Republi-
can members of the house of represent
tatives for some ulterior reasons not
exactly explainable, AMI not appearing
upon the surface. This seems ridicu-
lous as Stockton received majority of
about 400, and was honestly and fairly
elected. 1t is not reasonable to sup
pose that legislative body consisting
of 20 Republicans out of "a members,
will unseat Republican simply be-
cause his opponent wants this done
and has some secret pull as the Demo-
Gratis in this county claim. One of the
charges made against M. B. Stockton,
member r-elect, of the house of represen-
tatives, is that about 12 years ago,
while serving this county as sheriff
and collector, he failed to settle fully
with the territory and county and was
therefore ineligible to the Office There
is nothing to this charge as will be
fully shown when an investigation
takes place. Stockton's accounts are
clean and clear and he accounted for
every cent of public money collected
by him. 1t is said here that among the
men who stirred up this mess, Is A. c.
Vorhees, who for many years, was
closely identified with the Republican
party organization, but who is now
somewhat disgruntlel and very sore
because he thinks his claims have not
been recognized as they should have
been. OF course, John Morrow is a
Democrat, and naturally does every
thing he can for the benefit of his par
ty. The contest cases for the county
offices will no doubt be decided In favor
of the Republicans who received ma
jorities as follows: Stockton 432; Lit
trell 800; Brackett 24s; Juan santiste-
van las: TAYLOR 1877,
