Havana, Dec. 10, Latest reports of
the late fight in Pinar del rio province
show tbe Spanish loss was more than
claimed. The dead or wounded include
one colonel, one major, seven captains,
eleven subordinate officers and seventy
four privates. Most of the wounded will
die. The loss on the insurgent side was
fourteen. Explosive bullets were used
by them.
LCETGEKT'8 WIFE ALIVE. '
She Was
Seen la Boston During the
Month of July,
Boston, Dec. 10. The Globe, of - this
city, says :
"Mrs. Luetgert, the supposed victim
of the sausage-maker murderer, so
called, in Chicago, is alive and well.
Mrs. Luetgert was seen hi this city dur
ing the month of July, acknowledged
her identity, besides giving more or less
explanation relative to the reason which
caused her to leave her husband, who is
again on trial for his life."
Such was the startling declaration
made by John Schofleld, of 6t. Louis,
to a Globe man. Schofield supplement
ed this stateme nt further with tbe posi
tive assertion that Mrs. Luetgert was
at the house, No. 7 Bnjl finch place, for a
period of three or . four days during tbe
middle of the month of July last. He
said he had gained assurance of the fact I
that Mrs. Luetgert while in Boston bad
acknowledged her identity, with tbe as
surance that she left her husband on ac
count of his actions with other women
. as well as for reasons which she thought
would help in his financial embarrass
ment in business. He farther stated
that he Believed Mrs. Luetgert was still
in Boston, and that she will yet be
found.
The Globe has interviewed Mrs. Moss,
of No. 7 BuIInch place, who says that
the woman supposed to be Mrs. Luet
gert went by the name of Millie Barker,
One day the woman seemed distressed

all his diplomatic relations on an indis
putable right, and not allow the right to
be curtailed in the least by unfounded
demands or unjust pretensions from the
opposing party,1
The enemies of de Lome are said to be
Senor Canelejas and A. Taltavulla. They
charge the minister with lack of fore
sight and weakness, with permitting
Americans to Have a voice in Spanish
affairs and with bowing to the senate.
These opponents are led by Zerans, for

Row to Prevent Pneumonia.
At this time of the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid ot some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in that
dread disease, pneumonia. We know of
no better lemedy to cure a cough or cold
than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
We have used it quite extensively and it
has always given entire satisfaclion-

several thousand natives killed are the
only credits.
Rumors, too precise to be guesswork,
are current to the effect that the Earl
of Elgin early -next spring will retire
from the viceroyalty of India, and be
succeeded by Lord George Hamilton,
whose Indian secretaryship will be filled
by Lord Lansdowne, the present secre
tary of state for war. This will be a good
party move, as it will enable tbe Mar-
Great Britain ' herself trying to grab a
little more country at various other
points, and the preparation of the .leg
islative program, the ministry has no
lack of worries.
The announcement which the St.
James's Gazette made on Wednesday
last, "authoritatively," that the British
government does not expect any further
trouble with France regarding the Up
per Nile regions, France agreeing to ac
cept the situation, is unconfirmed and
probably unfounded, as there is no lack
of evidence that France is deliberately
pnrsuing'the task of seizing the upper
waters of the Nile above Khartoum,
thus cutting tbe British line ot com
mnnications between Cape Town and
Suez, and the powerful colonial party in
France threatens to upset the Meline
cabinet, should it recede from this en
terprise.
AH tbe forces of General Sir William
Lockhart, the British commander on
the Indian frontier, have been with
drawn to the Bara valley for the winter.

Late in the afternoon he and his' wife-
emerged from the hnnse and took a few
turns on the porch for -exercise and a
little fresh air, and a little later he and
his brother Abner took a sioiilar walk.'
Aside from this he had scarcely been out
ofthe room. He was informed of the af
fairs of state by communications from
the White House, and, jailg:nz from the
calls of messengers there are many tele-'
grams of sympathy and inquiry, being
received from friends of the mother and
son in various parts of the country.

Madrid Populace Falls to Enthuse Over
the Deposed Commander.
New York, Dec. 13. Describing the
reception of General Weyler in Madrid,
the Herald's correspondent in that city
says: - '
In spite of all Romero Robledo's hard
work to insure an enthusiastic reception
for General Weyler in Madrid; in spite
of the fact that a holiday bad been care
fully chosen, and tbe hour of his arrival,
1 o'clock, was a most propitious one,
the affair passed off amid almost com
plete indifference. . Between 1000 and
1500 snpporteis of the various political
parties, an ot wnom expect to secure
General Weyler's adhesion, were at the
station, but there' were few cries and but
little enthusiasm. His passage to the
house was tame in the extreme.
Solely with a view to prevent hot
headed Robledoists or Weylerists from
making any demonstrations, the govern
ment took all precautions and sent a de
tachment to guard the residence of Min
ister Woodford, who accepted the guard
as a corteous but quite unnecessary attention.
The small interest taken in the arrival
of General Weyler it government circles
is indicated by the fact that a lit
tle later in the afternoon the principal
members of the cabinet, including
Senors Morrell and Gallon, as well as
tbe diplomatic corps, among them Min
iatern Woodford and Mr. McArthur, sec
ond secretary of the United States le
gation, went to the station to bid good-
by to the Marqnis de Reversauax, de

Two Enterprising Klickitat Girls.
In November, 1896, eays the Agricul
turist, two girls in the lower portion of
Klickitat county, invested $1840 in a
band of sheep, believing that McKin
ley 's election pressaged high wool and
genera) good markets. That they were .
wise, even beyond the usual brilliancy
of their sex, is proven by the result of
their purchase. During last summer
they made two sales of wool and sheep,
receiving on one occasion $1460, and on
another $800. The books in the tran
saction were closed on . Saiurdav. when
the remainder of the band brought to
the young ladies in cold cash, $5220. " As
will be seen, the net profits approximate
$5600 which. isn't bad for a one-year
"flyer" on an investment of $1800. It is
perhaps unnecessary to add that these
maidens, who by the way are as pretty
and charming as they, are wise, have
lost none of their Republican ideas since
the closing of the deal.
After meals you should have simply a
feeling of comfort and satisfaction. You
should not feel any special indications
that digestion is going cn. ' If you do,
you have indigestion, which means not-
digestion. This may bo the beginning of
so many dangerous diseases, that it is
best to take it in haod at once and treat
it with Shaker Digestive Cordial. - For
you know that indication makes poison, -
which causes pain and sickness. And
that Shaker Digestive Cordial helps di
gestion and cures indigestion. Shaker
Digestive Cordial does this by providing
the digestive materials in which the
sick stomach is wanting. It also tones
up' and strengthens the digestive organs '
and makes them perfectly healthy.
This is the rationale ot its method of
