ASTONISHING STORY.
OF the Methods of Punishment in the
British Army.

London, Feb. 12.-Rear Admiral Basil
Cochrane, retired, in a letter published
by the Times today, makes astounding
revelation regarding ~"barbarous sys-
TENS" prevailing among guards regi-
ments for the punishment of subalterns
who are found guilty of social or mill
tary ~offenses.
According to C%ochrane, the colonel OF
one battalion has been in the habit OF
handing over offending officers to thei1
senior Subaltern and having the latter
summon a court-martial, at which the
attendance of all subalterns was -eX-
acted, n at which sentence is almost
Invariably iogging.
This is administered on the bare back
and from six to forty blows with Il cane
are given with such severity thai the
lower number is sufficient to draw
blood. All officers present, even the
most intimate friends Of victims, are
compelled to administer their share OF
the blows.

Bowen Rejects a German Protocol Draft
That Doesn't Look Good to Him.

Washington. Feb. 11.-As the Vene-
zueia issue stands today, the British
protocol is SO drawn that Bowen may
accept it in principle. But the German
draft is unacceptable, and differences
between negotiatoFs as to this protocol
are more marked than in the case of
any other. One statement made, and
this statement is not by Bowen, was
that While the Germans with other
allies in principle accept reference to
he Hague Of the question of allowing
preferential claims, yet their protocol is
so drawn as to practically require such
preferential treatment in advance of
the submission of the case to that
Bowen feels the German
protocol would not be acceptable to the
Venezuelan government, and he has
therefore defined to sign it in it's pres
ent form. which necessitates reference
of the document back to Berlin and the
extension of negotiations beyond the
time when it was hoped this phase of
the subject could be closed and the
blockade lifted.
Reports from Caracas are that great
suffering is being inflicted upon many
innocent persons, and foreign residents
are bearing more than their share of
the rigors of the blockade, ecaus
their more complex wants are not to
be satisfied with native food, Which
sufices the Venezuelans. From this
element, therefore, pressure is being
brought to bear upon London, Berlin
and Rome which may hasten negotia-
tions. 1t is believed Italy is not likelv
to prove an obstacle to winding I'D tho
negotiations, for, although naturally
DESTROYS of securing all advantages h
can by injection into the protocol of
Ntraneo matter, it is believed she
Wlll not prove obstinate when once her
allies have harmonized upon a plan
which can be accepted by Venezuela.
Baron Won Sternburg, the German min
lister, was active this morning In his
efforts to hasten negotiations. and
spent some time with the British am
bassador and with Bowen at the lat
ter's hotel. 1t is understood the Ger
man protocol will provide for nav.
ment of s5,500 Immediately, as does
the British protocol.

That's the condition of many sufferers from catarrh, especially in the morning. Great difficulty is experienced in clear ing the head and throat.
 No wonder catarrh causes headache, impairs the taste, smell and hearing, pollutes the breath, deranges the stom- ach and affects the appetite.
 To cure catarrtl, treatment must be constitutional-alter and tonic.
 II was afflicted with catarrh. I took medicines of different kinds, giving each fair trial; but gradually grew worse until could hardly hear, taste or smell. then concluded to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and after taking five bottles I was cured and have not had any return of the disease since."
