American Consul at Barce

THE AMERICAN FLAG MENACED
MsKe-ap of General Blanco's New Cab
inet Cuban Situation aa Viewed
by Falma.
New Yobk, Dec. 29. A special to the
Journal and Advertiser from New Ha
ven, Oonn., says :
Captain George L. Kelsey, of the
schooner Wallace Ward, which has just
arrived here from Barcelona, Btates that
the American consul at that place fears
' mob violence, and is unable to keep the
American flag on Uncle Sam's vessels.
He put into port there September 15th,
remaining three days.
At first the stars and stripes floated
proubly from the masthead, but Spanish
loiterers were attracted by it and gath
ered by the vessel, threatening violence.
The American consul heard of the ru
mor that the crowd purposed burning
the vessel, and he sent word to Captain
Keleev to haul down tha flae. Captain
Eelsey defied the Spaniards, but the
next day the consul repeated his advice,
and Captain Eelsey was reluctantly
persuaded to store the stars and stripes
below deck during the remainder of his
stay. .
Blanco's Mew Cabinet.
New Yobk, Dec. 29. Considerable in
terest was manifested among Cubans at
the junta headquarters at the reported
makeup of General Blanco's cabinet for
the colonial government of Cuba under
the decree of autonomy. Jose Maria
Galvez, said to be slated for president of
the cabinet, is the leader of the autono
mist party and was formerly a promi
nent lawyer.
"But," said one of the Cubans, "He
has been ruined by gambling."
Kafael Montoro, Marquis of Montoro,
was at one time, they say, leader of the
autonomists. He is a lawyer and an
eloquent speaker. He is said to have
been named for minister of finance. .
The reputed selection for minister of
the interior, Antonio Govin, is a lawyer
and for years was a member of the pro
visional council.
Francisco Zayas, mentioned as ap
pomtee for minister of education, is a
leading physician of Havana. J
Ariuro Amblaro. the proposed minis
ter ot commerce is a Spaniard and was
until recently bitterly opposed to auto
nomy and the proposed reforms.
For minister . of posts and telegraphs
the man selected is said to be Kafael
Fernandez Castro, a lawyer, a professor
in the university and the owner ot large
sugar plantations. He is the wine con
tractor for the army and has great in
fluence.
Members of the junta have no com
ments to make on the cabinet, as a
whole. It was not certain, it was said,
that the cabinet report was correct, and
it really mattered little to the insurgents
who were interested in absolute inde
pendence.
The Views of Falma.
New Yobk. Dec. 29. "Governor-Gen
eral Blanco's acceptance of McEinley's
request that American people be per
mitted to rilieve the suffering of the
concentrados in Cuba is tantamount to
an acceptance of the offer of interven
tion by the United States in the conflict
so long in progress between the Cuban
people and the Spanish government,"

wholesome and delicious.

said Thomas Estrada Palma. chief of
the Cuban junta in this city, to an as
sociated Press reporter today, "and as
the administration believes pease in
Cuba can be restored only by political
intervention, it cannot reject the favor
able opportunity that presents itself to
intervene for the purpose of ending the
war In Cuba."
of presidents of prominent institutions
developes that fact clearly. At the same
time, very few presidents were willing
to express opinions for publication. All
practically agreed with President E.' S.
Mason, of the Bank of New York, in
statement that there are' already so
many banks that rates for money have
been cut to such a pain that there is
little profit in banking.
Bow to Look Good.
Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver be inactive, you have a bilious look ;
if ytour kidneys be effected, you have a
pinched look. -Secure good health and
you will surely have good looks. "Elec
tric Bitters" is a good Alternative and
Tonic. Acts directly on the stomach
liver and kidneys. Purifies the blood,
cures pimples, blotches and boils, and
gives -a good complexion. Every ' bottle

sumption, was given up to die, sought
all medical treatment that money could
procure, tried all cough remedies he
could hear of, but got no relief; spent
nights sitting up in a chair; was in
duced to try Dr. King's New Discovery,
and was cured by two bottles. For past
three years has bren attending to busi
ness and says Dr. King's New Discovery
is the grandest remedy ever made, as it
has done so much for him and also for
others in his community. Dr. King's

Trouble Is T'robable.
Denver, Dec. 29. A Washington dis
patch to th eTimes says:'
Indications are today stronger than
they have been at any previoustime of
trouble between the administration and
the silver advocates in the Republican
party. ' The reason for this change is
found in a declaration made by Senator
Fairbanks at Indianapolis' yesterday
that the president had assured him of
his determination to stand by the gold
standard. Fairbanks is very near to
the president, ad the Bepublican bi-
metallists no longer make any secret of
their strong fear that McKinley will
forsake them.
M. Carvalho Dead.
Paris, Dec. 29. M. -Carvalho, direct

May 15, 1888, when about 131 persons
lost their lives.
