Berlin-, Feb. 15. A eenii-official
statement of the Cretnn question has
been published here hb follows:
"In reply to the representations of the
ministers of all the great powers .at
Athens to the Greek government yes
terday, pointing out the danger to Eu
ropean peaco from the attitude taken by
Greece contrary to international law, M.
Skouses, minister of foreign affairs, de
clared Greece would occupy Crete.
"In view of this fact the imperial gov
ernment no longer considers it conso
nant with its dignity to tako further
diplomatic steps at Athens. After an
exchange of views with the cabinets of
other great powers the commander of
the German warship Kaiserin Augusta,
which will arrive at Canea within the
next few days, had received instructions
in conjunction with the commanders of
the nayal forces, or other great powers
assembled in Cretan waters to prevent
any hostile act upon the part of Greece,
and also to co-operate with them in
every possible way with a view to re
storing order and averting bloodshed."
Owing to urgent state business .Em

rRU AND JJOLIVIA. Iff TROUBLE.
Both Countries Are Assuming Warlike
Attitudes.
New York, Feb. 15. A, special to the
Herald from Panama, says:
Advices of. an important nature in re
lation to the growing trouble between
Peru and Bolivia have been received
here from a correspondent, in Cuzeo.
According to these advlceB Bolivia has
taken undisturbed possession of a por
tion of the territory of Peru. This
region is of great extent, and is included
between the Madre de Dion and the
Tulche rivers.
The government of Bolivia has also
jesued a decree ordering the construc
tion of fortifications at the mouth of the
inambari river, These are to serve as
8 barrier of defense to the military
stations which Bolivia will at once estab
Hah along the batik)) of the river.
The Peruvian Press, according to the
Uuco advices, declares that this action
n the part of Bolivia is equivalent to a
hostile invasion of the province of
bandia, Carabaha and Paucartarajtt. 1 It
declared that the" Peruvian foreign
office has made an energetic protest
against this occupation, but without
avail.
One influential paper in this connec
tion Bays: "Matters of this serious
character are not decided by protests.
The only remedy in the power of the
country is in adopting the same meas
ures as those adopted by the usurpers.
A strong detachment of troops sent to
the border where the invasion has been
made and a fleet of strong gunboats to
patrol the rivers in the region would
constitute a most effective protest
! against such aggression."
The press of both Peru and Bolivia is
filled with articles bristling with hostile
notes.
A declaration of war by Peru would
not be a surprise here, but in official cir
cles it is declared that that republic will
not act, being well informed as to the
attitude which Chile will assume in such
an event.

Chicago, Feb. 15. Citizens of Elm
huret,, a" small town, 23 miles west of
here, burned to the ground the large
shed recently erected there by Barney
Zachariah, the Chicago gambler, in
which pool-selling, faro and roulette had
been conducted for several days. Al
most eyery day 400 or 500 gamblers from
Chicago visited the resort.
A few days ago the residents raided
the poolroom, but could find no evi
dence of,gambling. Six men, however,
supposed to be connected with the "move
ment, were arrested. During the night
two watchmen were emploped to watch
the place. Early yesterday morning a
mob of indignant citizens attacked the
building, and after driviug away the
watchmen, set fire to the building. The
gamblers saythey will reopen as soon as
another house can be built.
Baltic Fleet Cannot Go goath.
New Yoke, Feb 15. A Herald dis
patch from St. Petersburg says :
The rumor published in England to
the affect that the Russian Baltic fleet is
to be sent south to the Mediterranean
excites ridicule here, seeing the fleet is
safely frozen in for some weeks to come.

London, Feb. 15. A Times dispatch
from Madrid says that the morning pa
pers publish the most optimistic reports
concerning the attitude of the United
States government. It is stated that

gram from Minister de Lome affirming

This opinion, according to Minister de
Lome, is shared by the chief public men
of America, including President-elect
McKinley.
Minister de Lome is also reported to
have paid :
"The Cuban question may be con
sidered dead, as far as the United States
congress and public opinion in America
ii concerned. The government is prud
ently reserved upon the subject, but I
am able to state that the reuort as indi
cated above is approximately correct."

and others for publishing accounts of
Spanish cruelties, when .it is announced

A Cure for Lnine JJack.
"My daughter, when recovering from
an attack of fever, was a great sufferer
from pain in the back and hips," writes
Louden Grover, of Sardis, Ky. "After
UBing quite a number of remedies with
out any benefit she tried one bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and it has
i:iven entire relief." Chamberlain's
Pain Balm is also a certain cure for rheu
matism. Sold by Blakeley & Houghton.
Is it "overwork" that has filled this
country with nervous dyspeptics? that
takes the flesh off their bones, the vital
ity from their blood, and makes them
feeble, emaciated and inefficient? No.
It is bad cooking, over-eating of indi
gestible stuff, and other health-destroying
habits.
The remedy is an artificially digested
food such as the Shaker Digestive Cord
ial. Instead of irritating the alredy in
flamed stomach the Cordial gives it a
chace to rest by nourishing the system
itself and digesting the other food taken
with it. Is not the idea rational? The
Cordial is palatable and relieyee immedi
ately. No money risked to decide on its
value. A 10 cent trial bottle does that.
