C0NSULS CHANGE PLACES.
Gen. Bragg Will Take the Hong
Kong Position.


Washington. Oct. S.-Edward S.
Bragg, consul general at Havana, has
been transferred to the position of
United States consul general at Hong
Kong. taking the place of William
Rublee, who has been transferred to
the consulate general at Havana.
The change in the Havana consulate
general has been in contempla ton for
almost three months. 1t was fully de-
cided that il was necessary TO make
the change and the only question was
where Gen. Bragg could be placed
without substantial loss to himself
This has been done, the Hong Kong
place paying about the same as thar
at Havana. Although it is realized that
Gen. Bragg had been guilty of a lack
OF judgment at least in allowing to es-
cape from him rather contemptuous
criticism of the Cuban people. in view
of the fact that he was not directly
responsible for its publication. the
President decided to look upon his case
with a lenient eve.
1t was in early July that Gen. Bragg
wrote a letter to his wife at her home
in this country in which he used this
language:
Uncle Sam might as well try to
make whistle out OF pig tall as 10
try to make something out of the Latin
race"
The letter was published on July 4.
In the course of a few DAYS the Gu
ban government took notice of the pub
LEGATION. for it was repeated in the Ha-
vana newspapers, and asked Mr..
Squiers, United States minister to Ha-
vana, if the quotation was authentic,
intimating that if it were so. Gen.
Bragg had probably destroyed his use
fulness at Havana. By direction of the
State Department. Minister Squiers
called upon Gen. Bragg for an explain
alton. He at once admitted the accu-
racy of the quotation, but held that he
had a right to write what he pleased
in a purely personal letter to his own
family. But, without discussing this
question with the General. the State
Department decided that a change
must be made.

meeting the son returned to prison. The
elder Kensit's protests against the per-
fcrmance OF ritualistic bishops on sew

Catarrh of the Kidneys a Common
Disense-kidney Trouble often
Fails to He Regarded as Catarrh
by Physicians.
Catarrh of the Kidneys is very COM
mon indeed. 1t is a pity this fact is
not better known to the physicians as
well as the people.
People have kidney disease. They
take some diuretlc, hoping to get bet
ter. They never once think OF catarrh.
Kidney disease and catarrh are seldom
associated in the minds of the people,
and alas, 1t is not very often associa-
ted in the minds of the physicians. Too
few physicians recognize catarrh of the
kidneys. They doctor for something
else. They try this remedy and that
remedy. The trouble may be catarrh
all the time. A few bottles of Peruna
would cure them.
Pe-ru-na Removes the Cause of the
Kidney Trouble.
Peruna strikes at the very center Of
the difficulty, by graduating the ca
tarrh from the kidneys. Catarrh is the
cause of kidney difficulty. Remove the
cause and you remove the effect. With
unerring accuracy PerUna goes right to
the spot. The kidneys are soon doing
their work with perfect regularity.
Thousands of Testimonials.
Thousands of testimonials from peo-'
pie who have had kidney disease which
had gone beyond the control of the
physician are received by DR. Hartman
every year, giving Peruna the whole
praise for marvellous cures.
