That this excuse for the non-perform-

insincere and untrue is proven by its in

declaration of Governor Mann made in

This declaration is disputed by every

laundering vessel for about an hour.
No one believed she could go down.
We had been assured to this effect by
the captain. But as she began to set
tie 1t was soon seen that she was
about to go to the bottom, and if we
stayed near we would be drawn down
with her in the vortex.
'"The marine band on board did its
best to cheer up the waning hopes of
the passengers. One or two airs We're
struck up. 1t was spectacle that no
one will ever forget.
Suddenly the band stopped. The
leader moved his baton. In slow, SOL

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inf1amed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumb1in g
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the illumination can
be taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but in infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

impress of relief rather than aggra-

by President Gomez last night the
chief executive says this action on the
past Of Captain Kline, who commands
the marines a the naval station, does
not constitute an act of intervention.
but the men We're sent to Caimanera
merely to prevent the rebels from

properties belonging to foreigners in

considerabl number of Cuban soldiers
are relieved from guard duty at such
places and will not be available for

rebels.

aid to dominate the racial insurgents

daily more determined to crush them
but determined as is the United States
government TO protect the properties
and lives of Americans by disembark-
