MUNITIONS OF WAR
Bermuda Takes Substantial
Aid to Cubans.
FORTY TONS OF AMMUNITION
Spanish War Vemel on tUo Lookout
for Her and Other Fili
busters. New Yobk, March 16. The Press this
morning says :
Despite the effort3 of the Spanish con
suls, ministers and spies in this country ;
in the face of the loss of the steamship
J. W. Hawkins, and the seizure hy
United States marshals of the steamship
Bermuda, the Cubans in this vicinity
have now upon the sea bound for the is
land, whose freedom is the one thought
of their lives, that identical cargo of am
munition of the steamship. On another
vessel it is understood are a lot of men
who are to be transferred to. the Bermu
da on the high seas.
The Bermuda left New York yester
day morning. It was shortly after 8
o'clock when she got up her anchor, 10
o'clock when she passed Sandy Hook
and about noon when she distanced the
fleet of newspaper tugs that followed her
to sea.
The air was filled with rumors yester
day. Thomas Estrada Pal ma has dis
appeared from town and Calizto Garcia
left his borne early in the morning and
had not returned at a late hour last
night. The report was they had sailed
for Cuba, and that it was the intention
of the patriots to perfect the system of
government in Cuba in order to induce
a more substantial support from other
countries, including the United States,
than that of mere sympathy.
This fact did not deter the Cubans
from loading her decks down with gun
powder and arms for the insurgents in
Cuba, and in all 40 tons of ammunition
and guns were placed on board the Ber
muda and also several cases containing
dynamite.
UN THE LOOKOUT.
Spanish War Teasels Watctalne for Fili
busters Along Florida's Coast.
" Key West, Fla., March 16. Before
the steamships Bermuda, Three Friends
and Commodore, each supposed to be
carrying a filibustering expidition to
Cuba, reach the island they will have to
run the gauntlet of a number of Spanish
warships now cruising the east coast of
Florida. Three days ago three Spanish
war vessels appeared off the south beach
of the island of Key West. Since then
Jhe vessels have hovered about 10 or 12
miles out, apparently watching for fili
busters. Yesterday afternoon the Span
ish vice-consul went out to one of the
vessels in a Bleam launch, and it is sup
posed gave the commander some infor
mation relative to the movements of the
suspected steamers. Immediately after
the vice-consul left the vessel the three
cruisers sailed away to the north. The
supposition is that they will patrol the
east coast of Florida watching for tbe
Bermuda, Three Friends and tbe Com
modore. There ia said to be a large number of
men encamped on one ot the Florida
keys north of here, who expect to be
. taken by one of the three vessels. The
key is in United States waters, however,
and it is not believed the Spanish will
dare to interfere with the men. As far
as known United States officials have
received no orders to watch for the sus
pected vessels. " .
CHEROKEE BILL MUST HANG
Tne President Refuses to Interpose in
His case.
Fobt Smith, Ark., March 16. Satur
day's dispatches from Washington set
tled the fate of Cherokee Bill, the most
noted outlaw of the territory. The presi

dent's refusal to interpose removes Bill's
last possible chance, and he will hang on
St. Patrick's day. -
On November 8, 1894, Bill and "Ver
dizris Kid" and a citizen of the territory
sacked the town ot Lenepah. Cherokee
Bill, during this raid killed Ernest Mel
lon. Bill was arrested and locked np at
Fort Smith and in due time was con
victed and sentenced to death. While
he was confined there he killed a jailer.
For this he was also tried and sentenced
to death. It is for the first of these
crimes that Bill is to bang.
Cherokee Bill, or Crawford, has ac
quired the distinction of being the only
man that has ever had two death sen
tences appealed to the United States
supreme court at the same time.
DEIEHMIXED TO II AVE A. "SCOOP."
A Nebraska Editor's Flan to Outdo
Ilia Rival.
Omaha,- March 16. A special from
Midvale, Neb., says:
Because a rival paper "scooped" him
on an important item a week ago, John
Merchant, the editor of a Midvale week
ly, wrote a thrilling account of his otfn
suicide for publication in last Monday's
issue of his own paper and swallowed
poison half an hour after his contempor
ary had gone to press.
Merchant was evidently in earnest in
his effort at self-destruction, for he
locked himself in his office to give the
fatal drug time to take effect, and re
fused admission to his foreman, who
rushed to his assistance as soon as he
discovered what his employer has done.
Appalled at bisobstinacy, the foreman
lost no time in bursting in the door.
Then he summoned a physician. With
the latter's help the newspaper man was
finally etfved. The opposition came out
late with an extra giving a full account
of the affair, including its happy termin
ation, but Merchant is much consoled
by the thought that the original and
really only authentic announcement was
on the street in his own paper several
hours before his rival was able to reach
its subscribers
Carlisle to Be Named.
Washington, March 16. Secretary
Carlisle is a candidate for the presiden
tial nomination and a public announce
ment to that effect will soon be made by
one of the secretary's close friends in
the senate. This announcement, how
ever, will not be made until President
Cleveland has formally stated his pur
pose not to permit his name to be used
in the convention in connection with a
third term.

Being a dressmaker of several years
experience, and desiring to win the con
fidence of the ladies of The Dalles,
I have decided to cut and fit for
any lady free for one week only, be
ginning March 16th. Every lady
has the privilege of seeing her own draft
made in the true tailor style, without
the use of chart, drafting machine or
model of any kind, thus having a
chance to decide tor herself if it is safe
to cut the lining. Mrs. W. H. Swain.
If there is any one thing that needs
to be purified, it ia 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 use it in
preference to anv other." So wrote Mr.
S. H. Hysell, of Middleport, Ohio. And
Dr. D. 8. Bussell, of Farmville, Va.,
writes, ,-It fulfills all you promise for it."

Ayer's Sareaparilla 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, but they , were all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostru ms. 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 on its
merits."
Blakeley & Houghton desire us to pub
lish the following extract from a letter
of Chas. M. Gutfeld of Eeedley, Fresno
county, Calif., as they handle the rem
edy referred to and want their customers
to know what a splended medicine it is:
"It is with pleasure 1 tell you that by
one day's use of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy I was relieved of a very bad
cold. My head was completely etODoed
up and I could not sleep at night. I can
recommend this remedy." A cold nearly
always starts in the head and afterwards
extends to tbe throat and lungs. By
using this "remedy freely as soon as the
cold has been contracted it will cure tbe
cold at once and prevent it from extend
ing to tne lungs.
