Cuban Government Anxious
By Union Associated Press.

By Union Associated Press.
Washington, May 9.-Presi.
'dent Roosevelt has been urged
to grant general amnasty to all
Americans imprisoned in Cuba
at the time the independent gov
eminent is installed. The Cubans
who will be prominent in the gov
eminent are anxious to avoid a
heritage Of American prisoners
with which they are now threat
ened.
1t is said that the president is
not particularly taken with the
idea because it does hot harmon
ize with his frugal use of the
power of pardon. 1t is consid-
cred extremely doubtful whether
he will declare amnasty unless
there is some stronger reason
presented. The desire for am
nasty among the Cubans is not
improbable, and the Cuban con-
gres may adopt resolutions re-
questing the president to r,k4
such action before the govern
ment is turned over.

Peruna is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
ton and commentator testifying to
the merits OF Fe-ru-na as a catarrh
remedy are pouring in from every state
in the union. DR.. Hartman is receiv-
ing hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the states
man, the preacher-all agree that Pc
ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age.
The stage and rostrum, recognizing ca
tarrh as their greatest enemy, are es-
pecially enthusiastic in their praise and
testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh.
Catarrh is we'll nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only alb
solute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent
colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catrarh
out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only
cures catarrh, but prevents. Every
household should be supplied with this
great remedy for coughs, colds and 80
forth.
