S. 9. Betancourt Was Head Of
Revolutionary Government.

Havana, March 1.-Senator Salvador Cis-
neros Betancourt, Marquis of Santa
Lucia, died here last night. He was
eighty-six years old.

the Senator as for an ex-President Of the
Republic of cuba. The decree also calls
for three days OF national mourning.
During the two score OF years NJ Cuba's
struggle for independence from Spain,
Salvador Cisneros Betancourt was con
spicuous as Cuban patriot lie presid-
ed over the "Cutan Republic" in the field
during the Ten Years War. which ended
in 1873. and again during the war of 1888.
He expressed gratitude for the interven-
ton by the United States which finally
resulted in the independence OF Cuba, but
remained to the last distrustful Of the
Washington administrations.
At the constitutional convention in Feb
ruary. 1901. the Senator created scene
by refusing to SIGN the document drawn
up because of the condition that It must
be submitted TO the United States for ap-
proval.
The Senator never ceased his denuncia-
tion OF the Platt amendment to the Cuban
constitution. by which the United states
retained certain authority over Cuban ar
fairs. Last year. presiding At a meeting
OF the Patriotic League. he proposed f'lr-
ther agitation for the elimination Of the
Platt amendment from the constitution.

SORE EYES CAUSED
BY FACE, POWDER

Face powder has its dangers the
same as gunpowder. For several years
occasional cases have come under the
observation Of ocuiists in which the
patients, invariably women. complain
OF vision being hurried, inability to
use the eyes for any length Of time
and severe Itching of the lids. The
slightest rubbing of the lids produce
q marked redness OF the eyes and
only aggravates the itching. In Sc
we're cases the lids are frequently
swollen from constant rubbing. There
is sticky, elastic secretion which,
when being removed. pulls out in long
strings Microscopic examination OF
the secretion reveals masses Of what
appear to be crystals. Until recently
no satisfactory explanation of the pre-
sence of these crystals in the eye has
been given. Secretion taken from the
eyes Of two sisters suffering from
this peculiar complaint were submit.

that some OF his friends may think
his iniisposition is an Indication OF
infirmity. But Captain Diamond in
sists that inasmuch as he is only Just
turned 11S years such supposition IS
absurd. He insists that he is as hale
and hearty as any one less than half
his age.
He makes no secret of the method
byrwhicfi one may attain and pass the
century milepost His scheme of life
consists largely of .dont's. Don't
use tobacco; don't use stimulants and
don't eat sweets. Captain Diamond
has abstained from all these, and he
has not touched meat since 1852.
Captain Diamond says he was born
in Plymouth. Mass, May /, 1876, DUR
ing the administration Of President
Adams, second chief executive of the
United States. He tells vivid stories
of pioneer days in the Maine woods
and how he provided for his mother
