ORDERED-TO MADRID
Spanish Ministry's Orders
are Emphatic.
BLANCO HAS STARTED FOR CUBA
The Hew Captain-General Sails For
Havana Today Toesdaj."
New Yoek, Oct. 11. A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says :
The minister of war has cabled to
General Weyler to embark for Madrid
immediately, handing over his command
to the Marquis de Ahmada or General
Linares. All high civil officers and the
principal lieutenants of Weyler will be
replaced promptly.
The government telegraphed an order
to cease instantly all vigorous methods
of warfare practiced hitherto.
With the exception of conservatives
and republicans who persist in courting
Weyler, the majority of the press open
ly applaud the new government for ga
zetting decrees recalling General Weyler
and appointing Marshal Blanco governor-general
of Cuba.
So determined was the cabinet to act
vigorously that immeaiately after the
council of ministers approved the above
decrees, Count Xinquena, minister of
public works, carried them to the pal
lace. The queen got up from dinnor to
sign them. The minister of war tele
graphed the Transatlantic Company to
postpone the departure of the mail
Steamer to allow General Blanco to em
bark Tuesday with a numerous staff.
Six generals, officers who served under
Marshal Campos in the early part of the
present war, and 20,000 men as rein
forcements, will follow in November.
General Blanco is not expected to be in
a position, to form a correct estimate as
to the situation, or to suggest the best
course to follow before about lhe middle
of November.
Military operations will continue as
soon as fine weather will permit against
all insurgents who are not disposed to
Enbmit on bearing of the contemplated
reformb and the reversal of the policy of
the past two ytars.
General Blanco, now captain-general
of Cuba, announces that he will act with
great energy against the insurgents, and
will employ all political means to restore
equality of treatment in various sections
of the community. He has the greatest
desire to end the war and establish
peace by the eyeteai adopted in 879.
The inhabitants ot Palma, the birth
place of General Weyler, are preparing
to give him an ovation on bis return
vfrom Cuba.
The government has received unfavor
able intelligence of the revival of the in
surrection in the Fhillippine Islands.
The situation there is serious. Six fil
ibustering expeditions from Japan and
China have landed arms and war stores
on various parts of the coast. Consider
able reinforcements will have to be sent
to Manila before the fine season opens,
when the rebels are likely to resume of
fensive operations, because the present
governor, Marshal Rivera, has sent
home halt the European forces, belie v
ing the rebellion to be subdued.
Marshal Campos declined to go to the
Philippines, believing his presence in
Spain more necessary if the eventuali
ties of the colonial ware should make
military dictatore necessary.
A Gillam county boy put a garter
enake in his fathers private jug. When
the old man a little later went to take a
snort, the snake poked his head up and
lolled hiB tongue at him. Of course he
fainted, but when he "came to" he
swore off for good,
Cured by
"Happy Thought"
Salve.
"I was troubled with an Eczema or
eruption on the hands for two years. I
spent quite a sum of money without get
ting a cure. Then I commenced using
Garland's Happy Thought Salve. I have
. used six or eight jars, and am cared. It
.is a great medicine, and lean fully rec
ommend it to anvone troubled with skin
disease." J. M. E. ATKINSON, V .

A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severe cold that caused him
to be in a most miserable condition. It
was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe
and recognizing it as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about a speedy
cure. From the advertisement of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and the many
good recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make a first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was satisfac
tory in its results, is putting it very
mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and
the result was a speedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in recom
mending this excellent Cough Remedy
to anyone afflicted with a congh or cold
in any form. The Banner of Liberty,

A Large Expedition Soon to Sail From
Seattle.
San Fkancisco, Oct. 11, Tbe Call
says that a party of engineers and sur
veyors, including Captain Smith, W. J.
II. Fageletorm, W. A. Blake and J. W.
Shea er, have started for Seattle, where
they will be reinforced by about 80 men.
A steamer will be chartered to carry
them to Chilkat inlet, and from there
they will go to Fort Selkirk. One of tbe
objects of the expedition is to determine
whether the 300 miles that separate the
Yukon at Fort Selkirk from the ocean
at Chilkat affords a practicable route for
a railroad. It is also proposed to pros
pect the Yukon country for gold.
The parties who have organized this
formidable expedition are from Boston,
San Francisco and Fuget sound, and to
thorongbly equip it $ 200,000 baa been
subscribed and paid in.
"I bave never had a day's sicknees in
life," said a middle-aged man tbe other
day.
"What a comfort it would be," sighs
6ome poor invalid, "to be in hia place
for a year or two." Yet half, of the in
valids we see might be just as healthy
as he, if they would only take poorer
care of themselves, eat proper food
and digest it.
It's so strange that such simple things
are overlooked by those who want health.
Food makes health.
It makes strength and strength wards
off sickness. The man who had never
been sick was strong because he always
digested his food, and you could become
the same by helping your stomach to
work as well as bis. Shaker Digestive
Cordial will help your stomach and will
make you strong and healthy my mak
ing the food you eat make yea fat. .

Road.
Denver, Oct. 11. A party of officials
of the Oregon Short Line railway has ar
rived here. The party, all of whom are
Quick!
The sooner you begin to
vise Schilling's Best tea and
baking powder, the better your
opportunity to get some of
that $2000.00.
And jthe more you will en

A Schilling & Company '

from Boston, is composed of Samuel

iver Ames, director ; Henry G. Nichols,
director and attorney ; C. L. Hubbard,
controller.
They will start for Glen wood Springs
Tuesday morning, leaving there the fol
lowing morning for Salt Lake. Tbe ob
ject of their trip is a general tour of ob
servation from Salt Lake and Ogden over
the Oregon Short line.
Their sentiment is that the whole
country is generally more prosperous,
and the outlook a bright one. The bus
iness of the Short Line is reported as
having increased in spite of the differ
ence of opinion about tbe Ogden gate
way being opened to all roads.
Mr. Coolidge is a member of the Or
egon Improvement Company, which is
making strenuous efforts to transport
freight to Alaska. This company, he
says, is preparing to carry freight at the
rate of six tons a day over White pass.
The project now under consideration is
to use an aerial tramway for the trans
portation of ore for six miles on each
6ide of tbe pass. If carried out this will
be one of the greatest systems of tbe
world.
THE REBELLION IN GUATEMALA.
Morales Declare the Insurgent Cause
Will Triumph.
San Francisco, Oct. 11. Mariano
Lopez, one of the prominent citizens of
Guatemala, now in this city, has re
ceived the following :
"Tapachula, Oct. 9. We are triumph
ing, I will communicate to you the de
tails of the battles against tbe despot.
Morales."
Lopez has received other messages, tbe
most important telling of the fusion of
the liberals. He says the so-called tak
ing of Quezaltenago was merely an aban
danment of that point for strategic rea
sons, as shown in his dispatches. ' In re
gard to the forces at the command of the
revolutionary party, the latest informs,
tion is that there are 17,000 men, all well
equipped and wanting for nothing, either
in supplies or ammunition.
If strength is what you want, you
should study what causes your weak
ness. It is practically lack of food.
But you eat three meals a day, and all
you can eat at a time.
Yes, but do you digest it?
Food undigested, is not food. It is
not nourishment.
It doesn't create strength.
To digest your food take Shaker Di
gestive Cordeal at meals. After a while
you will digest your food without it.
Then you will get well, and strong and
healthy.
