II. ONLY AWAITS RATIFICATION

line Of Its PrOvisi0ns.

Havana, Dec. ia definite treaty
of commercial reciprocity between
Cuba and the United States was signed
at II o'clock Friday night by Gen.
Bliss and Secretaries Zaldo and Mon
ties. It only lacks the signatures Of
Secretary Hay and Senior Quesada and
the approval of the United States and
Cuban senates to make it operative.
Although the treaty provides for a
uniform reduction of 20 per cent. from
the present tariff charges on Cuban
products entering the United States, a
parallel list of products has been
drawn up in which is set forth the re-
auctions on each item made by Cuba
and the United States respectively. It
is impossible now to make any material
change in this list.

ENGAGEMENT ASTSBUr SHORT TIME

suit to British Flag.

Puerto Cabello, Dec. 15.-The Brit.
ish cruiser Charybdis and the Ger
man cruiser Vineta bombarded the
fortress here at five o'clock Saturday
afternoon and quickly silenced it.
The bombardment lasted for As min
utes. The fortress is composed of
Fort Solano and Castle Libertador.
After the firing ceased the Charybdis
sent marines to occupy the castle.
The fortress was almost demolished
It is probable that only a few per.
sons were injured by the Smelling.
The commander of Castle Libertador
has been taken prisoner. The
cruisers are still here.
At seven o'clock Saturday morning
the Charybdis and the Vineta ar
rived here searching for Venezuelan
gunboats. The two cruisers sent
their boats into the inner port, but
finding no gunboats the boats re-
turned. The captain of the British
merchant steamer Topaze, which was
seized by the mob here last Wednes-
day, then visited the British commo-
dore on board the Charybdis and
lodged a protest against the VIOLA
ton of his ship. The British captain
returned an hour later with a de-
tachment of so marines, who took
charge of the Topaze. The populacc
was greatly excited at this incident
and raised the cry: ITO arms!" but
there was no disorder.
Demanded Satisfaction.
The British commodore then sent
a message to the authorities al
Puerto Cabello, demanding immedi-
ate satisfaction for the action of the
mob in having hauled down the Brit.
ish flag from the Topaze, saying that
if this satisfaction was not forth
coming in two hours, at five o'clock,
the fortress and the custom house
would be bombarded. On the receipt
of this demand the authorities sent
a message to President Castro ask
ing for instructions.
A committee of the merchants of
Puerto Cabello then approached the
American consul here, petitioning
him to intervene. The consul accept
ed this mission and visited the cruz
sers, but he could obtain no altera-
ton in the decision of the allies.

AT quarter before five a reply
was received from President Castro,
who authorized the chief official here
to give the British commodore ample
satisfaction. Before this answer
could be communicated to the Amer

Too Many of Them are Nerveless,
Weak, Pale and Anaemic.
Paine's Celery
Compound
Reaches the Root Of Every Fee
male Trouble and Makes
Our Women Strong and
Vigorous.

1t is most regrettable fact, and a
calamity, too, that our women,
young and old, are numbered
amongst the most unhealthy of fe--
males in the civilized world. For
deiicacy of beauty, intellectual ca
pacity, and for all graces that adorn
the sex, they stand peerless; but it
is doubtful if one in ten can be found
who is functionally and organically
well.
This absence of feminine health
and vigorous vitality is due to a
neglect of natures unerring laws.
Immediate reformation is necessary
if our nation would have women who
will become true wives and mothers
with an offspring that will prove
strength to the country.
For the special weaknesses to
which women are now victims,
Paine's Celery Compound is the
surest and safest remedy. The
wonderful strengthing and building
up properties of this marvellous pre-
scription devised by that eminent
medical expert, Prof. Edward r..
Phelps, NJ. D., and its specific ac-
ton in correcting disorders of the
female organism, are well known to
the medical profession and to the
tens of thousands of women who
have been raised from weakness
and disease to health and physical
happiness.
Paine's Celery Compound quickly
gives the true health tint to sallow
and bloodless faces; it gives life and
light to the eyes; it gives pure, clean
blood to course through the bosy; 1t
gives natural appetite, sweet sleep,
and that blessed cheerfulness that is
the delight of men. Try bottle or
two of Paine's Celery Compound,
dear suffering and run down sister.
Your condition, your family inter
ests, and the welfare of society de-
mand this effort on your part.
