Those Guns in Cuba.

Inere is report current 10 the eff
feet that the Spanish government has
made a demand on Cuba for the sur
render of the guns which it left in that
island in 1898. This Will doubtless
seem a strange demand 10 most people
who recall that no mention was made
Of such transaction in the Treaty of
Paris. The Spanish claim appears to
be based upon article VIII of that
treaty, which provides as follows:
Spain relinquishes in Cuba :
all the buildings, wharves. barracks.
forts, structures, public highways and
other immOvable property which, in
conformity with law, belong to the pub
lie DOMAIN, and as such belong TO the
crown of Spain. And it is hereby de
clared that the REIMBURSEMENT :
cannot in any respect impair the prop
erty or rights which by law belong to
the peaceful possession of property OF
all kinds. of provinces, municipalities
public or private establishments, eccle
siastical or civil bodies, or any Other
associations having legal capacity To
acquire and possess property
It will be observed that there is not q
word in this article. as there is not in
| the whole treaty about returning the
guns 10 Spain. The Spanish official in
depreciation of the treaty seems, how
ever. TO be according TO this fashion:
The treaty specifies all ''immOvable
property" as being Telinquished by
Spain, but says nothing about movable
property. whence it is to be inferred
that movable property is not relin
quished. but is retained by Spain or Is
to be returned TO her. and as guns are
movable they are to be returned. The
Cubans. on the other hand, insist that
silence concerning the guns means that
they are as a matter of course rein
uuished to Cuba. and argue that if ii
had been otherwise intended there
would have been some explicit state
ment to that effect in the treaty, as
there was concerning the guns, mum
tons, etc. in the Philippines and Guam
which il was agreed should remain the
DroDertv of Spain unless purchased by
the United States.
In such honest difference of opinion
upon a technical point of treaty inter
pretation. in which questions of honor
or national integrity are not involved
an appeal to judicial arbitration would
seem to be appropriate. 1t is under
stood that the Cuban government Is
ready TO accept such disposition OF
the case. and there seems 70 be no good
reason why the Spanish government
should not do the same.

-Four Facts For
Sick Women
To ConSidez
Lydia E. PinEhan,'s Vegetable Compound
Has on UnequGLled Record OF Cures
Mrs. PinkRom,s Adciee Is Co1fIds1-
Fi0f, Free, and GEtr0ys Helpful

FIRsr.-That almost every operation
In our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect of
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful menstruation, leucorHhoea,
disbursements of the uterus, pain In
the side, burning sensation in the stom-
ach, bearing down pains, nervousness,
dizziness and sleeplessness.
SECoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, all utter
inc and ovarian Inflammation, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
menstruation perfectly and overcom-
ing its pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing for childbirth
and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
licited and grateful testimonials on hle
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
E. Pinkhams Vegetable compound ana
Mrs Pinkham'S advice.
FoURTH.-Every ailing woman in the
United States is asked to accept the
following invitation. 1t is free, Will
bring you health and may save your
life.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
to Women.--Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham. at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Out of the vast volume of ex-
perience in treating female ills Mrs.
Pinkham probably has the very lnowl-
edge that will help your case. Surely,
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take advantage OF this
generous offer of assistance.
