To Be Put to Death.

along the coast, during which the gun
boat Alolta bombarded the insurgents at
Cabanas and at Bahai Honda, two ports
in the province of Pinar del Kio, recent
ly attacked by the enemy.
Jos6 Belancourt, the .insurgent leader
recently captured by the Spaniards, has
been tried by court-martial - and sen
tenced to death.
The insurgents have destroyed two
railroad culverts between Cabezas and
Union de Revs, in the province of Mat
anzas. .According to official announcements,
Gomez and Maceo have been trying to
effect a junction, but have so far failed
on account of being closely pressed by
troops. Maceo is said to be in the vicin

has planned to move southward in the
same direction as Gomez, who is de
scribed as being south of Jovellacos
(Bemba), between Colon and Matanzas.
In Kigltteen Months.
New Yohk, Feb. 27. General Weyler,
In an interview with Karl Bottscher, a
German writer, declares that he expect 8
to put down the Cuban revolution in a
year and a half. Not long ago be told
Cuban, planters he thought they could
begin grinding sugar by the middle of
next month.
Herr Botscber arrived here on the
steamship Columbia from a trip to the
West Indies. He was accompained by
his wife, who acts as .. bis secretary.
They live in Berlin. Said Herr Bots
cher: "I interviewed. General Weyler last
Saturday. When he observed that I bad
read bis proclamation, he said: "Then
you'll know that I adopt iron, and, if
necessary, bloody measures to give this
country peace."

of terror exists in their locality in conse
quence of troops having massacred
peaceable, citizens at Guito, already
briefly announced by correspondents of
American newspapers.
The official government report, issued
Sunday, states that a fight occurred near
Punta Brava on the previous day be
tween troops sent from Marino and the
insurgent bands of Villa Nueva and
Acosta, resulting in a glorious victory
for the Spanish arms, 20 insurgents
having been killed and 50 priS'
oners taken. Residents at Guito have
identified 18 of the dead as pacific
citizens. Only two were insurgents,
and the prisoners are nearly all said to
be peaceful. One of them, named La
Daielao Quinter, claims American-citi
zengbip. He is wounded by a ball in the
arm. . . ... . . .
CUBAN RESOLUTIONS.
Action Taken by the Foreign Affairs
Committee.
Washington, Feb. 27. The bouse
committee onloreign affairs after a warm
eession of two hours today, adopted a
concurrent resolution declaring it the
sense of congress that a state of war ex
isted in Cuba; that insurgents should
be given rights as belligerents, and .that
the government of the United States
should use its influence to stop the war,
if necessary by intervention, and pledg
ing the support of congress. .
The resolutions were greeted with
cheers when read in the house. .
Sulzer asked unanimous consent that
the resolutions be a special order of
Tuesday.
Meredith suggested that the resolu
tion be passed immediately. . ..
Hitt, chairman of the foreign affairs
committee, said the committee would
ask the earliest possible consideration of
the resolution.
The resolutions adopted by the com
mittee were as- follows : .
Resolved, By the house of representa
tives, the senate concurring, that in the
opinion of congress a state of public war
exiets in Cuba, the parties to which are
entitled to belligerent rights, and the
United States should observe a strict
neutrality between the belligerents.
Resolved, That congress' deplores the
destruction of life and property caused
by the war now waging in the land, and
believing that the only permanent solu
tion of the contest, equally in the inter
ests of Spain, the people of Cuba and
other nations, would be in the establish
ment of the government of the choice of
the people of Cuba, the sense of congress
is that the government of the United
States should use' its good offices and
friendly influence to that end.""
Resolved, That the United States has
not intervened in the struggle between
any European governments and their
colonies on this continent, but from the
very close relations between the people
of the United States and those of Cuba,
in consequence of its proximity and the
extent of commerce between the two
peoples, the present war is entailing
euch losses .upon the people of the
United States that congress is of the
opinion that the government of the
United States should be prepared to
protect the legitimate interests of Amer
icans by intervention if necessary.
Resolved, That congress pledges its
support to the president in carrying out
the foregoing resolutions.
. . The resolutions were adopted, after a
session'of over two hours. All but two
members of the committee present .vot
ed, for them. The ayes were:. Hitt,
chairman ; Smith, Cousins, Heatwole,
Quinn, -Pearson, Adams, republicans:
New lands,, , silverite; Dinsmore, Mc
Creary, democrats :
Nays: Draper, republican; Tucker,
democrat.
Absentees:. , Taft, . republican, and
Price, democrat.
The resolutions except the fourth,
were those reported by the subcommit
tee, consisting of Adams, Draper, and
Tucker. t
.Tucker was o posed to the second on
the ground that the United states was
not concerned as to the internal policy
of the people of na, .

taking headache powders is increasing to an
alarming- extent among a great number of wo-
.uu lutuugiiuui mc wuuixy. xnese powders as
their name indicates, are claimed by the manu
facturers to be a positive and speedy cure for any
form ff headache. In many case3 their chief
incrreclicnt is morphine, opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having a tendency
to deaden pain. The habit of taking them is
easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
off. Women usually begin taking them to re
lieve a raging headache and soon resort to the
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
nay be subjected to, and finally like the mor-
fihine or opium fiend, get into the habit of taking
hem regularly, imagining that they are in pain
if they happen to miss their regular dose."
In nine cases out of ten, the .trouble ia
in the stomach and liver. Take a simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache; Dr.
