LIBERALS THREATEN
TO WAR WITH U. S.
Want American Government to
Get Out of Cuba.
PARTY is VERY IMPATIENT
Over the American Withdrawal,
Whenever 1t Was Promised, They
Would Be Left Master of Cuba-lf
Protectorate War to Follow.

New York, Feb. 1S.-A dispatch
to the Herald from Havana says that
open, signed threats of war against
the United States if ii does not get
out of Cuba are now being made by
the leaders of the Liberal party to
whom everything has been given by
the American provisional governments
except absolute control.
The party is insaiable and impa-
tient over the delay of the American
withdrawal, whenever it was promis-
ed, they would be left master of
Cuba.
These leaders, the dispatches say i,
rsent the suggestion of the conserva-
tive classes that an American pro-
tectorate might be a surer guarantee
of peace than the unhridled rule of
any Cuban faction.
General Del Castillo in an article
in El Rebelde, liberal organ, states
that the "imbeciles'' who favor a
protectorate must be struck down and
that if annexation or protectorate
come, war will follow.

gine, with one motorman, drawing
five coaches. The first was smok-
er, the second is described as pow
er car, though it is commonly desigv
mated as a combination baggage and
smoker, and the three following were
ordinary passenger coaches.

A Woman's Health

Is a heritage too sacred to be expert
mented with. For her peculiar and deli
cate ailments only medicines of known
composition and which contain no alco-
hol, narcotics, or other harmful or habit
forming drugs should be employed Such
medicine is DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription-a remedy with record of over
forty years of cures to recommend it; a
remedy, the makers of which print its
formula on every bottle-wrapper and at
test its completeness and correctness
under oath; a remedy devised and adapted
to woman's delicate constitution by an
educated physician-an experienced spe-
ciaiiSt in wOman's diseases; remedy,
every ingredient of which has received
the written endorsement of the most emil
nent medical writers of all the several
schools of practice for the cure of wOman'S
peculiar diseases; remedy which has
more bO7lG-ttde cures to it's credit than
any other sold by druggists for womans
special requirements. Ii is not given
away in the form of "trial bottles" to be
experimental with, but is sold at q fair
price by all dealers in medicines.
If a woman has bearing down, or drag
ging pains, low down in the abdomen, or
pelvis, backache, frequent headaches,
dizzy or fainting spells, is nervous and
easily startled, has gnawing feeling in
stomach, sees imaginary floating specks,
or spots before her eyes, has melancholia,
or vblues," or a weakening disagreeable
drain from pelvic organs, she can make
no mistake by resorting to the use of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It will
invigorate and tone up the whole system
an1 especially the pelvic organs.
No woman suffering from any of the
above symptoms can afford to accept any
secret nostrum or medicine of unknown
composition, as substitute for a medi-

ADVANTAGE A WIDOW HAS.
At Least They Don't Have to Sit and
 Watch Husbands Flirt.

T saw such a pretty woman at a disadvantage the other night" the It. tie real widow was saying. She was married. She was sitting at table with some other pretty women and handsome men and her husband. Her husband began to flirt outrageously with enc of the women. I wish you could have seen the look that came over her face. Everybody in the room saw how distressed she was.
 Now, what I want to know is this Why didn't she go to work and flirt with one of the handsome men to get even? Anyone of them was quite ready and willing, but, no, wives never seem to be able to do that They just sit ready to cry, with everybody no- ticing.
 That's the advantage we real wid- ows have over wives We don't have to sit and watch our husbands flirting with other women. We know where they are, and we also know that what ever they may chance to be doing, they are probably not flirting"

WAR A POSSIBILITY
TROUBLE BETWEEN MEXICO AND GUATEMALA LIKELY TO OC-
 CUR SOON.

Mexico City, May.-Dip,omatic re- lations between Mexico and Guate- mala have not been severed. Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Jose Algaga, em- phatically denied the report emanat- ing from Washington to the effect that Minister Gamboa had been re- called.
 Although telegraph wires have not brought to Washington the actual news of the severance of the diplo- matic relations of Guatemala and Mexico, officials here have no doubt that Mexico took the action that will result in giving to the fGuatemalan minister in Mexico passports for his withdrawal. The Mexican minister in Guatemala is now preparing to re- turn home, and the American charge, Philip Brown, secretary to the lega- tion, has been ordered to look after the departure of the Mexican minis ter.
 Ambassador Creel of Mexico has been in hourly anticipation of mes sage from his government informing him that the break had occurred be tween his country and Guatemala. He was advised that Guatema.a had de nied the request for the surrender of Gen. Lima, who is suspected of being implicated in the murder in Mexico City of former President Barrillas of Guatemala, and that there avs no al formative but for Mexico to consider the refusal an insult necessitating the diseontinuance of relations between the two countries.
 The break was to take place Mon- day, and the absence of any message announcing it does not mean that it has not occurred in accordance with the program.

Bid Strike.

New York, May-The strike of longshoremen, which has been in pro- gress for several days, affecting not only the coastwise steamers, but sev- eral transatlantic liners, took an ex- tremely serious turn when the men employed by five of the large trans Atlantic lines joined the movement. The men who thus jcined the ranks of the strikers number between 4,000 and 5,000 and their action may re- suit in serious delay in the movement of some CT the biggest trans-Atlan- tic passenger and mail steamships. Up to this latest development more than 5000 men were on strike from the American and Red Star Lines and from the various docks in Brooklyn. Tramp steamships from various parts of the world are chiefly affected in Brooklyn. There have b'en no serious disorders. The movement is uni formly in support of demand for an increase in wages to 40 cents an hour regularly. 60 cents for overtime and so cents for holiday work. This IS practically an increase of s 1-3 per cent over the wages now paid by the steamship companies.
