SENIOR QUESADA's VIEWS,
Cuban Minister Comments Upon
Treaty Negotiations.

Cuban Minister Comments Upon
Treaty Negotiations.
Washington, Oct. 31.-Senor Quesada,
Cuban minister to the United States,
to-day in commenting on the negotia-
tons now being conducted for a COM
mercial treaty between Cuba and this
country, said:
The reciprocity treaty is a purely
commercial convention and has nothing
to do with any other political questions
which may arise between the two gov
ernments, and has absolutely nothing
to do with the Plat amendment.
THE Cuban government has been
studying the draft Of the treaty sub
mitted by Secretary Hay and has been
consulting the different interests in the
island, and the custom house receipts
as well, and in due time will return
1t with observations and notifications
deemed for the interests of the United
States"
When asked regarding the PROPOSED
coaling stations in Cuba, Senior Que
sada said that four days before Presf-
dent Mckinley was shot he had, at the
instance of Estrada Palma, gone to
Canton to secure from the President a
solemn promise that, while he was
chief executive, he would not give his
consent to the establishment of a naval
station at Havana, and that President
Roosevelt knew of this promise

WINSHIP'S HARD LUCK.

Five Mauser Bullets Could Not Lay
Him Up, But Rheumatism Does.
Washington, Oct. 31.-Lieut. Emory
Winship, attached to the flagship Iowa,
has been condemned by medical sur
vey on account of rheumatism, and
transferred to the British hospital at
Montevideo. There is most remark
able story behind this officers prosaic
illness. He was one of the heroes of
the naval campaign in the Philippines
and was advanced several numbers in
his grade for distinguished conduct in
action before the enemy, as result of
which service he now carries five
Mauser bullets in his body, three in his
right leg, one in his left leg and one
in his left hip. These wounds were re-
ceived while he was operating a Colt
automatic gun in a small steam launch,
endeavoring to protect the landing of
a body of men from his ship, the gun
boat Bennington. The party was at
tackled by overwhelming numbers of
Filipinos and would undoubtedly have
been entirely routed but for the ac-
ton of Lieut.. Winship in taking per-
sonal charge of the automatic gun in
the bow of the launch and pouring
such deadly Volley into the
natives that they were compelled to
retreat and permit the landing. While
so engaged Lieut.. Winship was the
target of the attacking party and was
struck five times, but luckily none of
the bullets reached a vital spot. The
surgeons were never able to remove
the bullets, but the wounds healed per-
fectly in course of time and have not
interfered with the officers regular du-
ties aboardship. 1t seems like the irony
of fate that after surviving his num-
erous wounds he should be incapaci-
tated by so ordinary disease as rheu-
matism 1t is believed that his disabil-
ity is only temporary and that he will
be able to resume his duties on the
Iowa by the time she starts to take
part in the maneuvers in the Carib-
bean sea.

CHIEFS REPORT.
Gen. Gillespie Makes Public His An
nuaI Statement.

nuaI Statement.
Washington, Oct. 31.-The annual re-
port of the chief of engineers of the
United States Army, Gen. G.. L. Giles
pie, for the year 1902, was made public
to-day.
The report contains a complete re-
sumo of the river and harbor improve
ments for the year, which are under
the supervision of the engineer corps,
but owing to the fact that no river and
harbor bill will be passed by Congress
at its next session, no estimates are
given of the amounts necessary to
prosecute especial improvements pro-
jects.
Referring to the outlet of the Missis-
sippi river, the report remarks that if
the project of the board of engineers
is to be carried out without interrupt
ton to progress of the work, the sum
of $780, 900 will be required for the ifs
cal year ending June &c. 1904. As to
the South Pass channel, 1t is said:
THE jetties and auxiliary works were
maintained in effective condition, re-
sulting in the utmost efficiency in
maintaining a channel Of more CONNER
cial value than ever before existed
through South Pass.
THE work of the past year in CAL
weston harbor consisted of maintaining
strengthening and widening the chan
mel between the jetties, and the depth
of the water on the outer and inner
bars remains practically the same as
at the end of the preceding fiscal year"
The report says that commerce has
been greatly benefited by the improve
ment of this harbor, as shown by the
increased size and tonnage of the YES
sells using the port"
The report presents comprehensive
view of the condition of Notifications
throughout the country. 1t says that
the defense of the Great Lakes and the
st. Lawrence is under consideration,
and also that projects for defenses for
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Guam, Manila and
Subig Bay have been approved by the
Secretary of War. With reference to
the last mentioned plans the opin-
ion is given that construction should
begin at an early day.
ut is believed" the report continues.
that the time has come when it will
be no longer possible to ignore the
question of the insular defenses. The
Navy Department is properly insistent
that all its important coaling stations
should receive proper defensive protec-
ton to keep off predatory attacks from
possible hostile fieets.''

state Department Did Not Threaten
Colombia.

Washington. Oct. 31.-From trust
worthy sources it is learned that the
note of Secretary Hay to Minister
Hart, at Bogota, which was forwarded
from here on Tuesday last, was not as
emphatic as was at first supposed. It
is said that nothing was contained In 1t
which might be construed as a threat,
or as protes ting against Minister Com
cha's action in postponing the treaty
negotiations. On the contrary, the note
was friendly in character, and urged
Minister Hart to use his best endeavors
to induce the Colombian government to
proceed with the negotiations for a
treaty without further delay.

Mr.. West to Leave Thomson.

Thomson, Ca, Oct. Silt is currently
reported here that Hon. John T. West,
one of the leading lawyers of the Thorn
son bar and one of the most promi-
nent citizens of this town, will remove
in the course of a few weeks to Dolly
county, where he will engage in the
lumber business with Mr.. B. P. O'NeaI,
a former resident of Thomson. The
determination of Mr.. West to engage
in the lumber business means his re-
tirement from the legal fraternity, of
which for eighteen years he has been
a distinguished ornament. For eleven
years he has been connected With the
Bank of Thomson as a director and
attorney and was a director in, and at
torney for the John 2. Smith Manufac-
turing Co., besides conducting extensive
agricultural interests. In 1896 he was a
candidate for Congress against Hon.
William H. Fleming and for six years
was editor and proprietor. of The Nc

DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW.
Trade in General Healthy, Domestic
Demand and Large Exports.

Trade in General Healthy, Domestic
Demand and Large Exports.
New York. Oct. 31.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review tomorrow will
say:
Speculation waits upon politics. but
legitimate business is not disturbed by
the approaching election. New labor
controversies have been promptly set
tied by advancing wages and the grad
ual improvement in supply of coal has
reduced prices and restored activity
in manufacturing. Complaints are
increasing as to the tardy movement
of freight, miles of cars being stalled
by the lack of motive power, and
many roads refuse to accept further
shipments until the blockades are re-
lieved. Lower temperatures are slim
ulating retail sales of seasonable mer-
chandise, but frost comes too late to
seriously injure agricultural pro-
ducts. Liberal consumption sustains
quotations in most lines, domestic de-
mands being supplemented by large
exports Operating expenses of the
railways have increased in many cases
to such a degree that net earnings are
somewhat curtailed, but gross earnings
for October thus far exceed last years
by AT per cent. and those of 1900 by 49,
per cent.
Undue significance is attached to the
announcement that the Frick Company
will not advance next years price for
coke above So. Although this is in line
with other conservative efforts of lead
ing interests to prevent inflated prices.
the probable influence on the outside
market will not be great, as the bulk
of output will go to the VariouS MIA c.
of the United States Steel Corporation.
Meanwhile sales are now being made
at SIC in extreme cases, and the search
ty has closed more blast furnaces.
Conditions at the cotton mills are
healthy, a scarcity of goods being gem
eral, while there is no disposition to
force transactions.
Failures for the week numbered 233.

Knoxville, Tenn, Oct. 31.-Coal oper-
ators of this section believe that a.
coal famine of serious proportions
threatens Tennessee and four other
Southern states which depend on this
section for coal, North and South Caro-
lima, Virginia and Georgia, on account
of the scarcity of coal cars. October
has been the worst month in the his
tory of Tennessee mining and it is
said that the mines are losing because
their output cannot be moved

Southern Railroad. who is here to-
night, says the Southern has orders for
100 engines and 2,750 coal cars, but cam
not get any of them until Dec. 1.

IT IS DOUBTFUL
II Local Applications Alone Ever
Cured a Case of Catarrh.

III Local Applications Alone Ever
Cured a Case of Catarrh.
Most remedies for the treatment of
halers, powders washes or salves. all
purely local applications and many of
them often give temporary relief, but
the reason none of them ever really
cure chronic catarrh is because catarrh
is not local disease and it cannot be
cured simply by treating the local
symptoms.
Moreover the more serious forms of
catarrh, like catarrh of the stomach
and catarrh of the bronchial tubes, can
not be reached at all by local applica-
lions and the fact that neglected ca
tarrh of the head very soon involves
the bronchial tubes, stomach and liver,
demonstrates that the disease is a blood
disorder, a constitutional malady and
not at all a local disease.
To really cure catarrh the system
must be cleansed from catarrhal poi
son by an internal remedy which acts
effectively upon the blood and liver.
The success of a new catarrh remedy,
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is because it
drives out of the system. through nat
ural channels, the catarrhal poison and
the mucous lining of the nose, throat
and trachea are freed from the Excess
sve mucous, which collects and causes
the hawking, splitting and gagging, be-
cause the excessive secretion is not fur
nished from healthy blood.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain
many of the same valuable antiseptics
used in sprays and inhalers, but in
stead of being applied to the infiamed
mem branes of the nose and throat, they
are taken into the stomach and thus
reach the blood, the real seat and cause
OF the disease.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges, composed
OF Red Gum, Hydrastan. Bloodroot, and
similar catarrh specifics, and so safe to
use that little children suffering from
colds take them with same beneficial
results as adult persons
No trace of cocaine or opiates,so COM
mon in catarrh medicines. can be found
