GARCIA HEARD PROM.
Bent a Long Message to New York In
Begird to It.
Nkw York, April 6. The World this
morning says :
A long cipher dispatch from Carlos
Garcia, son of General Calixto Garcia,
leader of the Bermuda expedition to Cu
ba, has been received by M. Stern in
this city. The dispatch was written at
Manzanillo, which, is about 35 miles
west of Santiago, on April 2.
Mr. Stern said: "Before the ship
sailed Carlos said that if there was no
interference in United States waters
they would have no trouble in eluding
any Spanish vessel. The explanation of
this is simple enough. The Bermuda
was rated as having a speed of from 10
to 12 knots; as a matter of fact, she was
capable of making from IS to 20 knots,
so that she could outsail any Spanish
war vessel. She was equipped with new
engines while she was in the drydock in
South Brooklyn. These engines and
boilers were made by the Cramps, and
were the finest that money could buy.
The replacing of the engines was kept a
close secret at the time. It was even
guarded from Cuban sympathizers. So,
while the Bermuda was apparently a
slow old tramp steamer, she was in
reality a remarkably swift ship, and no
Spanish cruiser could hope to catch her.
As a matter of fact, she had no occasion
to show her speed."
The dispatch' says that the men and
the heavy artillery were landed in a bay
between Bahia Honda and Muriel, whicli
is about 50 miles west of Havana in a
straight line. There was absolutely no
interference. The two Hotchkiss guns
and the six other heavy- pieces of artil
lery were taken off with the ammunition
for them. The ship, with the remaining
arms and ammunition, was sent to San
tiago. It went around the north shore
of the island, through the Bahama
channel:
The 108 men in the expedition were
landed on the morning of March 22d.
They made a march of 40 miles inland,
where they were met by General Maceo,
thus carrying out the plan to the letter.
It was decided that an attack should
be made .upon Pinar del Bio, which is
the largest inland town, and a Spanish
stronghold. Maceo and Garcia, with
9000 men, swept down on Pinar del R;o
early on the morning of March 23, and
it was a complete surprise. The Span
ish troops numbered about 6000, and
they were thrown into a state of panic
by the onslaught. The use of the heavy
artillery which Garcia had brought add
ed to their terror. The message says :
"Consternation reigned and the Span
ish troops were thrown into wild dis
order. . Officers could not . form their
- men. We captured two pieces of heavy

cartridges, 2300 swords and many stores,
We - burned 600 bouses, sparing weak
The Spanish loss was 850 killed and 200
wounded. '. The Cuban loss was 150 killed
and wounded."
. After this victory, which is one of the
most important that the Cubans have
won, inasmuch as it will be almost im
possible for the Spaniards to find shelter
for their troops in the interior during
the rainy season, General Garcia took
500 men and started eastward, making
the hardest possible marches.
Carlos Garcia says that they bad not
the slightest difficulty in passing the
troche, which is a line of Spanish troops,
and then went on swiftly to the eastern
part of the island. -
"Many volunteers joined them. When
they arrived near Santiago they , found
that the Bermuda had landed her am
munition in a bay a few miles east' of
Santiago. The ship arrived on the night
of March 25, but the landing was not
made until the following - morning.
There were 18 boatloads of rifles, cart
ridges and swords.
"General Garcia has gone to the east
ern end of the island, becanse that is his
old home, and the people there are his
loyal friends. Jose Maceo is with him.
General Garcia will do nothing for. a
month but organize an army of picked
men. He expects to have an army of
volunteers which will number 35,000
men and a regular force of 10,000 men."
Harrison Dimmick.
New York, April 6. General Harri
son, whose marriage to Mrs. Dimmick
will occur this afternoon at St. Thomas
church, remained all forenoon at the
Fifth Avenue hotel, where he will stay
until imuied'ately before the ceremony,
when he will be driven directly to the
church. There has been no official an
nouncement of the time of the ceremony.
Indications, however, are that Mrs.
Dimmick will become Mrs. Harrison be
tween 5 :30 and 6 o'clock this afternoon.
Mrs. Dimmick has received many valu
able presents. The principal gift from
General Harrison is a necklace made of
seven rows of pearls. The necklace is
fifty-five inches long and haB diamond
clasps. ' "" - -

Col. Taylor Jenkins, who lives a few
miles north of Blakely, is known
throughout that section as one of the
most truthful men in it. At least, so
says the Early County Times, Re
cently, while Mr. Jenkins was out
hunting1, his dog's began barkfng at
something in a large hollow log. It
was a wild hog. He took the hog home
and dropped it in his cornfield. It is
there, now. A few weeks ago Mr. Jen
kins went out to kill it, thinking he
could easily do to with his unerring
rifle. He searched about till he
"jumped" it. Down a corn row it went
like lightning. He leveled his rifle and
"cut down" on it, but never t6uched a:
hair. He "jumped" it again and shot
again, but no hog. Again and again
he "jumped" it and shot at it, with the
same result. He began to wonder what
could be the matter. The corn rows
were as straight as moonshine whisky
and his gam true as the third party to
Tom Watson, yet hit it he couldn't. To
shoot at the hog as it ran off down the
corn rows was just like shooting at it
standing, so far as getting a "bead on
it" was concerned. To make sure that
he didn't "wobble" off the hog he put
up a small target and ''cracked down"
at it five times, then took his ax and
chopped in and found five balls all in
one hole in the middle of the spot.
That settled it that the fault was not
in him or the gun, but the hog had out
run the bullets. .

If there is any one thing that needs
to be purified, it is politics, eo 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 any other." So wrote Mr.
S. H. Hysell, of Middleport, Ohio. And
Dr. D. S. Eussell.of Farmville, Va.,
writes, "It fulfills all you promise for it."
Blakeley & Houghton desire ns to pub
lish the following extract from a letter
of Cbas. M. Gutfeld of Reedley, Fresno
county, Calif., as they handle the rem
edy referred to and want their customers
to know what a eplended medicine it is:
"It is with pleasure 1 tell you that by
one day's nse of Chamberlain's Cough
remedy I was relieved of a very bad
cold. My head was completely stopped
up and I conld not sleep at night. I can
recommend this remedy." A cold nearly
always starts in the bead and afterwards
extends to the throat and lungs. By
using this remedy freely as soon as the
cold has been contracted it will cure the
cold at once and prevent it from extend
ing to the lungs,
