IT IS A HEAVY LOSS
Wreck of the Hawkins Keen
ly Felt by Cubans.
A STATEMENT BY SENOR PALM A
Belief Expressed That the Ship Was
Deliberately Scuttled by a Trait
or on Board Investigation
Being: Mads.
New Yobk, Jan. 2D. Gloom prevaded
the headquarters of the Caban revolu
tionary party today. Leaders who
would not admit last night that any
filibustering expedition had met with
disaster, freely admitted the reported
wrecking of the steamer Hawkins cor
rect. Thomas E. Palma, the acknowledged
head of the Cuban revolutionary party,
said that about $100,000 had been ex
pended in fitting out the steamer J. W.
Hawkins, including arms and ammuni
tion. One Cuban made the startling an
nouncement that it was evident there
had been treachery. Said he :
"We hired an expert to examine the
steamer J. W. Hawkins before we pur
chased her. This expert reported the
steamer seaworthy. Now, either the
expert did not do hia duty properly, and
the steamer was not fit to go to sea, or
else a traitor on board deliberately scut
tled the ship. The latter would seem to
be the case. Neither . General Garcia,
who was in command of the expedition.
nor his son, second in command, nor
any others at the head of the movement
had any idea whatever the steamer was
leaking until it was too late to save her.
A searching investigation is being made,
and if there was any. plot to scuttle the
ship we will unearth it."
Palma denied there had been any talk
of his resigning the leadership of the
revolutionary party in New York.
RUMORED AT WAilUNGTOX.
Suggestion That the True Story of the
AT reck Has Not Been ToM.
Chicago, Jan. 29. A Washington
special says :
There is a curious rumor afloat here
that the true story has not yet been told
as to the alleged wreck of the steamer
Hawkins, which had just set out to
carry a lot of men and ammunition to
Cuba. Some people close to the revolu
tionists say the whole thiag is-a "plant,"
and the Spanish minister and the United
States authorities have been cleverly
fooled. For some reason, not definitely
traced, there is a belief in the Cuba'i
colony that the arms supposed to have
been on the Hawkins were either trans
shipped at Bea or were sent out secret
ly on some other vessel, and suspicion
directed after the Hawkins for the pur
pose of throwing Spanish spies and the
United States revenue authorities off the
track. People here are wondering what
the steamer was doing on Long island
sound if it was en route to Cuba.
Minister de Lome was apparently sup
plied with the fullest information in re
gard to the movements of the Hawkins,
and, acting on hia instructions, officers
of the navy and revenue marine, were
instructed to look after the steamer and
its intended consort all the way from
Hampton roads to Tampa.
While the stories of the survivors ap
pear to read straight enough, the opin
ion is there has been something crooked
about the transaction. It is known here
now that in a previous case the Cuban
committee supplied the Spanish minis
ter with false information regarding an
alleged filibustering expedition and then
while he was busy with the assistance
of the United States in endeavoring to
hold it off, a genuine expedition slipped
out and made a successful landing in
Cuba. The understanding seems to be
that something of the kind was attempt
ed in the case of the steamer Hawkins,
hut just what the wreck, had to do with
it or whether it was a part of the pro
gramme at all, cannot be definitely as
certained.. Insurgents Bepnlsed.
Havana, Jan. 29. Several members of
the central committee of the reformists,
party have resigned.
It is estimated 1000 persons have fled
from Sabinilla to Matanzas. The insur
gents plundered the stores in Cidra and
attacked Guiera Macurijea, south of Sab
inilla. The garrison repulsed the enemy,
whose attack was twice renewed. The
insurgents suffered severe loss. They
retreated five miles and then reconcen
trated. .
Cache Discovered.
St. Joseph, Mo.. Jan. 29. Thousands
of dollars worth of plunder has been
found in caves under the homes of a
gang of burglars and horse thieves, in
Florence addition to this city, by Sheriff
Aldriano. After a running fight, in
which Bill Snyder, a well-known des
perado, was shot and fatally wounded,
the gang scattered and crossed over into
Kansas, where officers are now searching
for them. Some of the plunder recov
ered had been stolen more than two
years ago. Many burglaries in small
towns in Missouri,. Kansas and Nebras
ka are now traced to this gang.
Work of Incendiaries.
Woodland, Cal Jan. 29. Atl o'clock
this morning the woolen mills were
burned, entailing a loss of $65,000. The
fire was started by an incendiary, and
was the second discovered in the build
ing within 24 hours. The bnilding was
the property of Mrs. Emma C. Langen
uer, mother of the ex-assemblyman of
that name, and was valued at $45,000.
She carried on it an insurance of $16,000.
The mills were operated by Collins
Shepherd, and hia loss on the plant will
be $15,000, of which $11,000 is covered
bv insurance.
Charged with forgery.
Los Gatos, Cal., Jan. 29. Theodore
K. Murray was brought by Sheriff Lyn
don from San Jose this morning at the
instigation of G. L. Turner, of the Bank
of Los Gatos, on a charge of forgery in
getting a check for $500 cashed when no
funds were to his credit in Visalia.
Two Lives Saved.
Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City
111. was told by her doctors she had
Consumption and thai, there was no hope
for her, but two bottles of Dr. King's
New Discovery completely cured her
and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos.
Eggers, 139 Florida St. San Francisco,
suffered from a dreadful cold, approach
ing Consumption, tried without resalt
everything else then bought one bottle
of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two
weeks was cured. He is naturally thank
ful. It is such, results, of which these
are samples, that prove the wonderful
efficacy, of this medicine in Coughs and
Colds. Free trial bottles at Blakeley &
Houghton's Drug Store. Regular size

It Way Do as Much for Yon.
- Mr. Fred Miller, of IrviDg, 111., writes
that he had a severe kidney trouble for
many years, with severe pains in his
back and also that his bladder was af
fected. He tried meny so called Kidney
cures but without any good result. About
a year ago he began to use Electric Bit
ters and found relief at once. Electric
Bitters is especially adapted to cure of
all Kidney and Liver troubles and often
gives almost instant relief. One trial
will prove our statement. Price 50c and

None It at Ayer's at tbe World's Fair.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact
urers of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, bnt "they were all turned away
nnder the application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
world's fair authorities in favor of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows:
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It is here cn its
merits." - -
Geo. W. Jenkins, editor of the Santa
Maria "Times," Cal., in speaking of the
various ailments of children said:
"When my children have croup there is
only ono patent medicine I ever use, and
mat is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
It possesses some medical properties
that relieve the little sufferers immedi
ately. It is, in my opinion, the best
c 'Ugh medicine in the market." If this
remedy is freely given as soon as the
croup cough appears it will prevent the
attack. It is also an ideal remedy for
whooping cough. There is no danger in
giving it to children, as it contains noth
iug injurious. For sale by Blakeley &
Houghton, Druggist.
If there is any one thing that needs
to be purified, it is politics, so the re
former says, and many agree thereto.
But blood tells, and as a blood purifier
and liver corrector Simmons Liver Reg
ulator is the best medicine. "I uee it in
preference to any other." So wrote Mr.
S. H. Hysell, of Middleport, Ohio. And
Dr. D. S. Russell, of Farmville, Va.,
writes, It fulfills all you promise for it."
