Characterizing reports that there Is

estes Ferrara. speaker of the Cuban
House Of Representatives. who arrived
In New York Wednesday on his way

intelligent Cubans look upon this coun-
try as the island republics benefactor
and friend.
Recent newspaper articles have in
timated that my country is seriously
thinking OF taking up arms against
the United States" said Senior Ferrara,
but nothing could be farther from
the truth Twice the government at
Washington has demonstrated is sin
cere friendship for Cuba. President Go
mez and the Cuban Congress could
assume no attitude other than one of
gratitude.
"These false reports, in my opinion,
had their origin in the fact that Pres
ident Gomez recently cancelled a large
order for arms which had been given
to an American dealer. This action
was taken for the simple reason that
the models submitted did not come up
to the standard Of the Cuban govern
ment. 1t was certainly not intended
and cannot rightly be construed as an
unfriendly act, The very suggestion Is
silly.

Indianapolis, Ind. July 1s.-Dr. Ben
jamin F. Bye of this city has perfected
a wonderful cure for cancer in the
case Of Mr.. Jefferson Coker, who was
affiicted with cancer almost covering
the entire face. One large malignant
growth on the jaw under the eye was
as large as a turkey egg. The patient
probably the result of a burning treat
ment he had been subjected to before
coming to DR.. Bye. Those that have
witnessed the cure pronounce 1t most
marvellous, as Mr.. Coker was so weak
he could scarcely walk.
The most extraordinary feature Of
the cure Is that there Is no pain. The
Doctors method OF treatment. which
was discovered by him a few years ago,
is an oil which will absorb the indurat-
ed parts Of cancer and heal the ulcer
alton.
Besides from forty to fifty patients
receiving the treatment at the Doctors
place, there are over three thousand
receiving the home treatment direct or
through their family physician.
