CRISIS NEAR IT HAND
Province of Havana Swarm
ing With Insurgents.
THEY ARE DOING MUCH DAMAGE
Large Faroes of Spanish Troops Harry
in g to Meet Them--Haceo Com
mands the Rebels.
Key West, March 30. (Sent from
Havana March 28 to avoid prees censor
ship.) Twenty-five thousand insurgents
under General Maceo are swarming over
the provinces of Havana and Pinardel
Rio destroying property, ripping up rail
ways and tearing down telegraph lines.
Forty-five thousand Spanish soldiers are
in the same territory, and more are
coming.
General Maceo is in immediate com
mand of the center column of rebels
with about 9,000 men. General Maceo
is in the southern part of Havana with
about 6,000, and General La Crete is
hovering about the outskirts of Havana
with about 6,000 cavalry. The other
4,000 men are divided into small bands
of pillagers. The insurgents are well
equipped and have plenty of ammuni
tion, and are capable of giving the
soldiers a warm reception.
The activity noticeable about the
palace of General Weyler seeir.s to bear
out the idea that a crisis is near at hand.
SUICIDED BY SHOOTING.
Max Friendly, a Liquor Merchant, Give
Way to Despondency
Portland, March 30. At 2 o'clock
this afternoon Max Friendly, a liquor
dealer, on Morrison street, n-ar Fifth,
committed suicide by shooting himself
in the bead. The deed was made in a
yard in the rear of his Htore, and the re
port of the pistol at once orew a large
crowd of people to the spot. The uncon
scious man with a leaden messenger of
death in his skull, was carri.d into his
store, and a few moments later Dr. Gil
lespie was at his side. After working
with the man about 10 minutes the sur
geon believed that there va9 a chance
for saving Mr. Friendly'a life, but he
soon after died.
Daring the midst of the excitement
one of the 'unfortunate man's (laughters
rushed in, and throwing her elf upon
the prostrate form of her father, ehe tie
wailed the negligence of gome friends in
not having closer looked after her father,
who had been in an unsettled frame of
mind all day.
The cause of this act is said to have
been financial trouble; hut Mr. Friend
ly did not leave a scratch of a pen in
forming his family or other friends of
the cause of biB raah act.
His daughter, a few moments before
the tragedy, asked a friend, Mr. F. A.
Insley, to look after her father, ns he was
not feeling well. A short time there
after Mr. Friendly walked to a closet in
the yard, in the rear of his store. Then
he drew a pistol and shot himself in the
right temple. Mr. Insley claims that
he passed out af the store, but that the
act was so quickly done that he had no
opportunity to prevent it. The weapon
was picked up about five feet distant
from where Mr. Friendly fell. In the
fall the unfortunate man also broke his
right leg. The remains were taken to
the morgue.
DO NOT WANT PEACE.
Nlcaraguan Rebels Kefuse President
Zelaya's Offer.
MANAGua, Nicaragua, via Galves on,
Tex., March 30. The peace commission,
consisting of Dr.' Prudence Alfaro, vice-
- president of Salvador ; General Comlins,
of Salvador, and Senor Kunirez, the
Nicaraguan minister of foreign affaire,
has returned here from La Paz, where a
conference with representatives of insur
gent Leonists had been held.
. The terms offered rv President Z--lava
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
Li Vv &2s25a li
are understood to be the absolute sur
render of all arms, the payment of all
war expenses and the surrender of the
leaders for trial. The insurgents not
only refused to accept these terms, but
demanded that President Zelaya tarn
over to them the government of Nicara
gua. ConEequently the war will be con
tinued with renewed bitterness on both
sides.
There is great excitement here. Steps
are being taken to reinforce the troops
at the front and begin an advance on
Leon as soon as much-needed supplies
of ammunition reach the government
forces. The government is said to be
hard preesed for funds as well as ammu
nition, which facts are not unknown to
the Leonists, who are understood to be
receiving secret support from Guatemala
and other sources, which may result iu
complications likely to cause a general
war throughout Central America.'
It is suggested this is a good opportu
nity for intervention upon the part of
the United States with a view to bring
ing about a peaceful settlement of the
question in dispute, as a conflict involv
ing all of the Centra American republics
would put a serious check upon business
and the development of the natural re
sources of Central America.
''Repeaters" to Ba Shipped to Fortland.
Salem, Or., March 30. It leaked out
today that worthless characters are to
he shipped from here to Portland to be
used as "repeaters" in the primaries
Thursday. The "repeaters" ara ' to be
need in the interest of the Hume-Frank-Minto
combine. It ia said a
Salem officer is using the power given
him by his official position to advance
the scheme.

None But Ayer's at the 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 ehowing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
world's fair authorities in tavor 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 Reedley, Fresno
county, Calif., aa they handle the rem
edy referred to and want their customers
to know what a eplended medicine it is:
"It is with pleasure I tell you that by
one day's use of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy I was relieved of a very bad
cold. My bead was completely stopped
up and I could not sleep at night. I can
renom mend this remedy." A cold nearly
always etarts in the head and afterwards
extends to the throat and lungs. . By
using this remedy freelv as soon as the
cold has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from extend
ing to the lungs.
It May Do as Much for Yon.
Mr. Fred Miljer, of Irving, 111., writes
that he had a severe kidney trouble for
many yeare, with severe pains in his
back aud also that his bladder was af
fected. He tried mrny so called Kidney
cures but without any good result. About
a year ago he began to use Electric Bit
tere and found relief at once. Electric
Bitters is especially adapted to core df
all Kidney and Liver troubles apd often
give? almost instant relief. One trial
will prove our statement. Price 50c and

ing Consumption, tried without result
everything else then bought one bottle
