CUBAkS RETAKE CITY
REBELS ARE DRIVEN FROM SAN
TIAGo AFTER COUP By Gov
EMINENT FORCES.
MARKS COLLAPSE OF REVOLT
President MenocaI Notifies Secretary
Lansing at Washington That Gov
ernor Munoz Holds Port as a Consti-
tutionaIist

Washington, March 12.-Ofhcial dis
patches TO the army department on
Friday established that Cuban govern
ment forces have regained control of
Santiago, the stronghold of the rebel
uprising. President Menocal has mott
fed this government that Governor
Munoz, in command there, represents
him and the recognized Cuban govern
ment. Consul Griffith, at Santigo, In
an undated dispatch received at the
state department, said American ma
rines had been landed there to protect
Americans and their property.
The repoSSesSiOn of Santiago and
the capture of the rebel leader, Gomez
and his staff are regarded here as
marking the collapse of the rebellion.
Dispatches do not say whether there
was fight, but say the rebels, "realiZ-
ing they were traitors about to be cap
tured," threw away their arms and fed
to the outskirts.
1t appears from the dispatches,
which are incomplete, that the Munoz
forces took the city by coup within
it and before the Menocal troops
marching on Santiago had arrived.
Munoz previously had declared him
self loyal to President Menocal and the
government and at his request Ameri-
can forces numbering 400 were landed
to protect foreign interests.
Hanana, March 12.-Carlos Miguel
Cespedes, a prominent lawyer of Ha-
vana, who was reported to have been
killed in battle at Placetas when Co
mez, the rebel leader, was captured, ar
rived in Havana prisoner. He was
wounded In the head. He has been
placed in the Dragones prison.
Washington, March 12.-American
marines and bluejackets occupying
Santiago appear, from latest navy de-
partment dispatches, to be facing the
possibility of an attack by the rebel
bands waging guerrilla warfare in the
city's suburbs.

WAR MAKES MEN EPILEPTIC
And Others ;nvaIided From the
Trenches Are Constantly Haunt
ed by Fear.

Some of the effects of warfare on
man-effects which usually are not
given wide publicity, are revealed in
an appeal in the London Times by
Lieut.. Col. Sir John Collie for the eS-
Establishment of an institution where the
tangled nerves of war-Shaken men may
again become normal. Sir John wants
to place these victims in home in the
country where quiet may be able to-
overcome their hallucinations.
Men do not suffer in the same way
as the lower animals" he says. "For
instance, many men invalided out OF
the service are haunted by an appre.
hension of reconscription."
The men fear that they will have to-
go back and face the enemy. Their
brains are clouded and they do not
realize that they cannot again be
called upon to serve. So they live in
constant fear.
Another distressing result Of trench
warfare is the comparatively large
number of men returning from the
front who suffer from epilepsy and
hysteroepiIepsy Much of the epilepsy
Is due to injury, the doctors say, and
the hysteroepilepsy is laid TO the stress
the men are under at the front.
SO many of these epileptics have APP
peared since the war began that plans
for farm colony for the incurables
among them are being made.

CHANGE IN RULES IN U. S. SEN
ATE PREVENTS FILIBuSTERiNG.
sorn-Way Cleared for an
Extra Session.

Washington, March 10.-The filibus.
ter is dead. The senate is now almost
as free to act on legislation as the 9th
err great deliberate assemblies of the
world.
The obstruction to the presidents
legislation is effectively cleared of the
difficulties of which he so frankly and
Indignantly complained.
The way seems now completely open
by sufficiently defined constitutional
power and through possible congress
sional legislation for the president to
go forward, arm the ships and do any
thing else that may be necessary in
the national emergency.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis resO-
luton declaring it the senate's sense
that 1.-THE presidents power is equal in
defending our foreign commerce as in
protecting our domestic trade will still
further clear the way.
And now there is no longer any OBJ
struction in the way of the presiden-
tial action in pressing international
affairs or in calling an extra session
Of the Sixty-ffth congress to pass
the gigantic appropriation bills which
are literally clamoring for enactment.
Day by day the word has come to
the Hill that the president was wait
ing for "cloture" before he was will
ing to consider action on the armed
ships and, the special call of congress.
Now that his wish is granted and
he has cloture, he is i'll in bed under
Grayson's iron orders. He cannot stir
for several days.
The vote on the resolution to curb
debate on bills was 76 ayes and 3
nays. Here are the names Of the
three senators who voted against the
amendment to the rule under which
two-thirds of the senate can fix q time
for a vote:
Gronna of North Dakota.
La Toilette of Wisconsin.
Sherman of Illinois.

BILIOUS, HEACACHX,
SICK 'CASCARETS''
Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while

Get q 10-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzie

bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the In
testines, instead OF being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the

delicate brain tissue it causes con-

Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.

straighten you out by morning. They

ing them up to Saturday morning,
when the Turks had been forced back
10 within three miles west and south
west Of the city:
THE enemy was driven from this
position to another position two miles
III the rear.
During the 9th our forces on the
