PALMA PREPARES TO FIGHT.

Cuban Congress Grants Men and
 Money to Crush Rebellion.
 HAVANA, Sept. IS. .- The armed force which was landed from the United States cruiser Denver Thurs day night stayed in camp in the Plaza de Arnas In this city until the morn ing.
 Mr. Sleeper, the American charge d'affaires, had received cablegram from the state department at Washing ton directing him to request the with drawal of the Denver's sailors. Con- mander Colwell after calling at the le- gation went to the palace, where he conferred with President Palma. As a result the force of sailors was with drawn.
 The extra session of congress called by President Palma completed at ono sitting the business for which 1t was summoned-namely, the granting to President Palma of the fullest powers not already constitutionally possessed by the executive for carrying on the war, including the right to appropriate any public funds necessary for war purposes and authorizing increases of the rural guards to 10000 and the ar tillery to 2,OOO men. This triples the former force of rural guards and dou- bles the artillery.
 President Palma submitted brief message, principally devoted to deplor- ing the conduct of the opposition, whom he charged with the responsibil- ity of causing the rebellion. The mes sage contained no recommendations beyond suggestions that congress ap- prove all recent executive decrees and take such steps as may be deemed ad- visable for ending the war.
 General Rodriguez. commander in chief of the rural guards. now has en- tire command of Havana. He has pre- pared his forces to meet an attack by the rebels on Havana at any moment.
 The worst sufferers by the revolt are the railroads, which are completely tied up, no trains leaving Havana. This Is particular hardship to hundreds of country families who were coming to the city for fear of attacks by the in- surgents. Photographic communication 1 is almost as badly paralyzed.
 Reports of the capture of Cienfuegos arc persistent. but the absence of tele. graphic communication makes 1t i'm. possible to verify the rumors.

1t is in my judgment imperative for the sake of Cuba that there shall be an immediate cessation of hostilities and some arrangement which will secure the permanent pacincation of the is- land.
 T am sending to Havana the secre- tary of war, MT. Taft, and the assist ant secretary of state, MT. Bacon, as the special representatives of this gov ernment, who will render such aid as is possible toward these ends.
 Through you deslre in this way to communicate with the Cuban govern ment and with the Cuban people, and accordingly am sending you a copy of this letter to be presented to Presi- dent Palma and have also directed It's immediate publication"
 The cruiser Des Moines has already joined the Denver at Havana. The Marietta Is at Cienfuegos. The Dixie. with 300 marines aboard, from Guan- tanamo is making for the Cuban capi- tai with all speed, while in home ports the Tacoma is about to sall for Cuba from Norfolk. to be followed by the Cleveland and the Newark.
 The Minneapolis, at League island under preparatory orders, is ready to sail when the starting signal comes from Washington. Meanwhile the ma rlne corps is in perfect readiness and expects to be able to place 2,O0O ma rines aboard ship at few hours' no tice.
 Thus 1t appears that within a short time an effective heet of naval vessels will surround the island of Cuba, and they will be well manned by marine contingents, making good deficiency in the present equipment of the Den yer.

 rial Celebration.
 COLUMBUS, O.. Sept. 15.-A mad desire to see the presidents daughter, Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, at close range caused frightful panic yester- day afternoon at the unveiling of the Mckinley statue on the statehouse grounds. Fearing that hundreds would be crushed to death and in order to prevent catastrophe, the elaborate programme for the unveiling was aban- doned by Governor Harris and the state officers in charge of the ceremo- nies.
 A woman standing in front of the stand where Mrs. Alice Longworth was tainted, and in the effort to carry her out the crowd became manageable, and some of them rushed under the seats prepared for the guests of the state. Governor Harris attempted to stop the panic, but he failed. Mrs. Longwurth was told to arise. and may be that might stop the panic. She did 90, but men began to yell and women screamed.
 Mrs. Longworth coolly waved her hands, and the governor and others tried again to stop the panic. Sud denly Mrs. Longworth grasped the cord and unveiled the statue, but even this did not stop the excitement and the whole programme was declared off.
 The crowd was so large and cramped that it got beyond control, and the shrieking of women and children who were caught in the crush rapidly work ed the crowd into frenzy. Many wo- men tainted and were carried out of the crowd by the police, Mrs. Eliza Louisa Muhn and negress were tram pied on and had to be removed in an ambulance.
 Throughout the exciting scenes Mrs. Longworth remained cool and self pos sessed, but afterward she said that 1t was the worst crush she had ever seen.
 Mfr. and Mrs. Longworth had an ex- citing experience in escaping from the excited crowds.

THAT ONE WEAK SPOT.

Kidney sickness robS the back or all fs power and strength. It's hard Co lift, to stoop or staighten, and even to get up from . chair.
 This indescribable weakness of the back, the endless dull aching thnt goes with 1t, are never-faillng symptoms of kidnsy complaint. A bad back is Nn- turs's signal of distress. a call for help ron the kidneys. The aching tells of dapgerous congestion that robs tho kidneys of their blood-fltering power. c. painful, wasttng inflammation. There is immediate need for Deans Kidney Pills. to relieve tho pain and heal the diseased kidneys. to ward o1 more fatal and painful disorders.
 Healthy kidneys keep you well by keeping the blood pure. Sick kidneys keep you sick by failing to purify the blood. This is the cause of many forms of rteumatism, neuralgia and eout; of such nervous troubles as headache. irritaHlity. dizzy spells. de precision: of palpitation of the henrt. stomach troubles, liver complaint; of Ia grippe. colds, chills; of half the aches and ills of humanity.
