CUBANS ARRK3TED.
Detained by
Health Authorities In
Jamaica.
Kingston, Jamaica, July 8. An offi
cially recognized rumor has been cur'
rent in Kingston that a Spanish war
ship recently secretly landed a force at
Dry harbor to kidnap a Cuban, alleged
to be the chief mover in a filibustering
expedition.
This place is conveniently situated at
a lonely spot near Dry harbor. In the
neighborhood are many of the old Span
iah ruins, in the secret cellars of which
it is known that the Cuban insurgents
have from time to time hidden arms
and shipped them off to Cuba at their
leisure, , defying the native detectives,
who have always failed to locate these
store places.
' Matters stood thus when a few days
ago just before daylight an open boat
with 11 men arrived just off Runaway
bay on the north side of the island. The
boat had come from Cuba, and those on
board were Captain L. Prado, Senor
Zelamoa, J. J. Lumones, R. Magarro, P.
Forma, G. Lavis, M. Laro, P. P. Mor
ales, a servant and two reporters for
American papers. They had come, it
subsequently transpired, with dispatches
from Antonia Maceo for the Cuban junta
here. " . - , -
Three of the men were put ashore at
Runaway hay with instructions 16 make
their way with all speed to Kingston, on
the opposite eide of the island. - The
men traveled by road and reached the
railroad line at the Ewarton station
When about to board the train the three
were arrested by a police Bergeant and
taken to Dry harbor. ... The medical an
tborities ordered the men and the police
who arrested them and the driver of the
conveyance from Ewarton to Dry harbor

to be placed in quarantine. Senor Bon-
den, president of the junta and a couple
of prominent Cubans 'finally went over
to Dry harbor, but were not permitted
to approach cloeer than 100 yards from
those in quarantine.
They carried on a conversation in
Spanish with the messengers, who
brought reports of the recent battle in
Puerto Principe. They spoke of the
position of the insurgents as excellent.
The organization and discipline of the
Cuban force left nothing to be desired,
and .Havana was at their mercy, they
said, but without a fleet they could not
hold the city, and nothing therefore was
to be gained by an assault upon it just
yet.
It was gathered that the Cuban gen
erals had decided upon a course of defi
nite action with a view of forcing mat
ters. The dispatches which the men
brought are also understood to bespeak
the assistance of the Cubans in Jamaica.
It is said the dispatches have reference
to a coup de main that Gomez is prepar
ing, and which will startle the world in
a short time.
To Guide Balloons.
New York, July 8. The Herald's
correspondent in Montevideo telegraphs
that a Spanish resident, nn electrician,
declares that he has discovered means
whereby he can guide balloons in any
direction in the air. The inventor has
been asked by the Spanish government
to visit Madrid that his invention, if
found to be practicable, may be applied
to use in Cuba. '
ASSIST NATURE
a little now and then
in removing offending-
matter from the
stomach and bowels
and you thereby
avoid a multitude
of distressing- de
rangements and dis
eases, and will have
less frequent need
of your doctor's
service.
Of all known
agents for this pur
pose, Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets are
the best. Once
used, they are al
ways in favor.
Their secondary ef
fect ia to keep the
bowels open and
regular, not to fur
ther constipate, aa
is the . case with
other pills. Hence, their great popularity
with sufferers from habitual constipation,
piles and their attendant discomfort and
manifold derangements. The " Pellets "
are purely vegetable and perfectly harmless
in any condition of the system. No care is
required while using them;- they do not
interfere with the diet, , habits -or occupa
tion, and produce no pain, griping or shock
to the system., u ney act in a tmia, easy ana
natural way and there is no reaction after
ward. Their help lasts.
The Pellets cure biliousness, sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or
constipation, sour stomach, loss of appetite,
coated tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
windy belchings. ; "heartburn," pain and
distress alter eating, ana mnarea derange
ments of the liver, stomach and bowels.
In proof of their superior excellence, it can
be truthfully said, that they are always
adopted as a household remedy after the
nrst trial, JCiir. op in seaiea, glass viais,
therefore always fresh and reliable. One
little " Pellet " is a laxative, two are tnildy
cathartic. As a " dinner pill," to promote
digestion, or to relieve distress from over
eating, take one after dinner. They are
tiny, sugar-coated granules; any child will
readily take them. .
. Accept no substitute that may be recom
mended to be "just as good." It may be
better for the dealer, because of paying him
a better profit, but lie is not the one who
needs help.
"One of my sick headaches,", you will
hear people frequently eay aa if the
complaint was hopelessly incurable. As
a matter of fact, Ayer's Pills not only
relieve, sick headache, but effectually re
move the cause of 'this'" distressing 'com
plaint, and so bring about a permanent
enre. . :.. . .' . : r .

A Flag-Pole 200 feet High.
. An enthusiastic citizen of. Tabor
Heights invites any one '.'who wants to
see a sight which beats - all the other
sights of this glorious Fourth, to visit
Tabor Heights, and see Old Glory wav
ing from the top of a fir tree nearly 200
foet high." The flag, he says, was
placed there by Fred Bendick and Frank
Reiaing, employes of the City & Subqrb
an railway, which feat he claims evinces
indomitable pluck and " energy, and
"shows what the boys at Tabor Heights
are made of." No doubt the flag float
ing from this elevatad position is a very
pretty sight, and it requires some energy
to climb the tree, but such an act is not
considered much of a feat in this coun
try. School-boys have been known to
carry a wheel of their teacher's buggy to
the top of a higher tree than the one
spoken of, and, after carefully trimming
the extreme top, to adjust the wheel on
it, and in descending trim off every limb
ao carefully that no one could climb the
tree again. This showed pluck in the
boys ; but it was not appreciated by their
teacher. Oregonian.
