CASTRO EVINCES A
sincere INTENTION
So Regarded In Berlin Off
oial Circles.
PAYMENT OF FOREIGN CLAIMS.
Thirty Per Cent of Custom Receipts of
LaGuayra and Puerto cabello as
Guarantee-May Not Be Adequate,
If Other Powers Claim Part.

Berlin, Jan. President Castro's
offer of 80 per cent of the customs
receipts of LaGuayra and Porto Cabel-
10 as a guarantee for the payment of
foreign claims is regarded in official
circles here as evidence of sincerity
of his intention to make satisfactory
settlement. As the offer, however, in
cludes the claims of other countries
besides those taking part in the block
ade, some doubt is expressed as to
whether 80 per cent is adequate. A
decision is now proceeding to deter
mine this point It is also uncertain
whether the allies will admit that pow
ers which did not join in the block
ade shall share in the results the for
mer secured through expensive naval
operations.

R1HEUMATISM

Rubbing with liniments, blistering, the ap-
plication of plasters in fact anything that
will produce counter-irritation, is good for
external treatment of Rheumatism, but
these simple remedies do not reach the seat
of the disease nor touch the real cause,
and relief is therefore only temporary.
Rheumatism is due to Uric Acid and
other irritant poisons in the blood, and
as it circulates through the system, these
acid poisons are deposited in the muscles.

| name of his command, whether it We're
| 4 brigade, division or the whole army
"All countries, in all ages, have ac-
corded Il special honor to their soldier
dead, and it has always appeared to me
that it is most fitting that these honors
| should be paid ut or near the home of
the dead soldier. In the bloodiest
scenes of carnage in the prison, in the
hospital or upon the lood-stained deck
of the battleship, the thoughts of the
bravest turn lovingly toward home. Our
soldiers at Mine Run when they were,
as they supposed, about to start upon
what would have been Il fatal charge,
pinned upon their manly breasts tiny
| bits OF paper, upon which We're written
| the name, rank and regiment of the
| wearer, in order that their dead bodies
| might not fill nameless graves.
Il have often wondered whether upon
occasions like this the dead hero can
look down upon us. The desire to be
known after death is an instinct of our
, nature. Hooker, in his saduest mo-
ments, always declared that history
would do him justice and perhaps to-
night he is looking thankfully on while
these honors, the result of the love and
devotion of his companions of the old
I'd corps, are being paid to his sacred
memory. We, who served with him,
must soon pass away, but we hope to
leave in the minds of those who come
after US, as a token of our love and de-
votiOn, a lasting memory of one of the
bravest and purest soldiers of that con-
flict which made us nation and not a
collection of petty states.
To-day the statue of Gen. Hooker
was unveiled by his grandchild. The
touching scene was reverenkly wit
messed by the old soldiers of the great
general. We who followed him in his
lifetime with undying love, and since
his death have sought to keep green his
memory and publish to the world his
good deeds, now confide to the grand
old commonwealth, of Massachusetts,
the sacred trust of perpetuating the
name which has for more than years
represented pure Massa chusetts lin
cage and will go down to posterity as
one of the brightest jewels in the mill
tary coronet of this grand old common
wealth.
In the conclusion of Gen. MattockS'
address, there were loud calls for Lieu
tenant Gen. Nelson A. Miles. who oc-
cupied a seat upon the platform, and
he was forced to reply. In his remarks
which were brief, he paid tribute to
Hooker as a general and expressed his
pleasure in being a son of Massachu-
sets.
