INSURGENTS PROCLAIM
Cubans Warned . Not to Be
Misled.
THE TIME FOR COMPROMISE PAST
Independence the Goal Which the ra
' trims Are Shedding their Life's
- Blood For.
' Nbw York, Dec. 9. A .proclamation
signed by the Cuban military and' civil
leaders in Havana province, protesting
against the autonomy offered by Spain;
, was recently issued as reported by the
correspondent of the Associated Press.
The proclamation in foil followed :
"Cubans: .
After all her efforts to eubdue as by
force of arms have proved in vain, Spain,
offers autonomy to the Cuban people.
She expects us to submit anew to ber
rule under her pretended terms of peace.
Spain's pretension is useless. The time
is already past to think of such compro
mise and transaction. Opposed to them
in an insurmountable manner are
the dignity and manifest destiny of onr
country, the outrages inflicted upon our
. families, the torrents of ' Cuban blood
that have been ehed, the lives of so
many innocent human beings who have
succumbed to oppression, the sacred
memory of our beros who have died in
defense of ther native soil, and all other
sacrifices we have made in behalf of our
independence.
"To obtain this we have again taken
up aruis, and we are determined to con
tinue unhesitatingly in the task of re
deeming our country until we attain the
success which is near at band. We shall
not flinch in our efforts, nor is it possi
ble that we shall be forsaken by the God
of justice in our sacred undertaking.
"Let the world at large be aware that
this is our unalterable purpose, our only
aspiration, our supreme ideal ; to which
we have consecrated our lives, our prop
erty, present welfare, and, in short, our
all.
"Let all the world know our full de
termination to carry on this struggle,
day after day, while the . Spanish flag
floats over our beloved country. Let
everyone know that our watchword is
independence or death.
"Cubans, long live Cuba, free and in
dependent." THE BOUNDARY CASK.
British and Venezuelan Briefs Hearing
Completion. '
New Yobk, Dec. 9. A Tribune special
from Washington says :
The British andVenezuelan agents are
hurrying to completion their briefs
which must be presented, with all argu
ment and evidence, by February 14th,
next, to the arbitrators on the bound
ary dispute. The tribunal, which is
considered fully organized, though its
members have not met each other, will
not assemble to receive the briefs, but it
has been arraged by correspondence to
hold sessions in Paris, beginning next
July, and the hope is expressed of be
ing able to arrive at a-v, satisfactory de
cision before the arbitrators are com-
I was troubled for a long
time with a sore wrist; some
thing the doctors termed an
open vein. It would break
and the blood would flow in
a stream from it. and I could
find nothing that would heal
it until l tried vour Happy
Thought Salve. A small
quantity healed it up nicely.
In fact it has been well and
showed no signs of breaking
for over three months, so I
feel it has done perfect work.

WILl FIGHT tTOR NINE HOURS.
New York Typesetters to go on a Strike
January 2d.
Nbw York, Dec. 9. At the annual
convention of the International Typo
graphical Union, a vear ago, it was de
cided to make a fight for a working day
of nine hours in all book and job print
ing shops as soon as possible. This fight
will be started in this city . January 2,
1S98, and will involve 5,000 men, as the
employing printers have resolved to op
pose the demand.
It was announced last night that other.
cities, including Brooklyn, would also
take up the fight lor nine hours, and
that before the year is a month old it is
probable that 50,000 men would be on a
strike for a shorter work day.
On December 2d,Typographical Union
No. 6, sent a notice to 120 offices making
an official demand for a work day of
nine hours instead of ten, beginning on
January 2d. On Tuesday night an ex
ecutive meeting of employers was held,
and resolutions were passed denying the
demand of the printers and looking to
the raising of a fund of $50,000 as a de
fense fund to fight "Big Six.''
President Donnelly, of Union. No. 6,
says that within thirty days bis union
will have $100,000 with which to enforce
its demand. -

Dtpends on Mrs. Fitz.
, Milwaukee, Dec. 9. It is " almost a
certainty now 'that Fitzsimmons and
Corbett will meet in the roped arena
again. The fact was gained bv a rep
resentative of the Evening Wisconsin,
after an interview with ' Mrs. Fitzsim
mons, now in this city. ' Before the con
test last March, Fitzsimmons promised
he would never enter the ring again
without ber consent. In reply to a ques
tion as to whether she would give ber
consent, Mrs. Fitzsimmons replied :
"I will eay, I don't care to stand in
my husband's way, and if he thinks he
had better give Corbett another chance,
I may change my mind, but until I do,
there is no prospect of the two men
meeting." . '
In Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and
America, the five great - continents,
Shaker medicines are being used by suf

and disease. .
Never was there such ; a universal de

Shaker Digestive Cordial, a cure for
indigestion, is prepared from herbs and
roots, and is a natural remedy, which
cures by aiding nature and not by fight
ing her.
Shaker Digestive Cordial makes those
fat, who have become tbin by not digest
ing their food.
It restores the spirits and the appetite
of those who are dejected and fagged out
from the wearing effects of indigestion.
It relieves the symptoms of dyspepsia,
and, after using for a reasonable time,
finally cures the complaint.

: How to Prevent Pneumonia.
At this time of the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to ruu its
course without the aid of some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in that
dread disease, pneumonia. We know of
no better temedy to cure a "cough or cold
than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
We have used it quite extensively and it
has always given entire satisfaction
Olagah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy Lat is known
to be a certain preventive of pneumonia.
Among the many thousands who have
used it for colds and la grippe, we have
not yet learned of a single case having re
sulted in pneumonia. Persons who have
weak lungs or have reason to tear an at
tack of pneumona, should keep the
remedy at hand. The 2,5 and 50 cent
