Following the cabinet meeting a report
was circulated that Secretary Long had
Stated that thu element of Spanish re

Paris aaya:
In the Intrunsigeant Henry Rochefort
writes :
"To really grasp tho situation, the ex
plosion of the Maine must be regarded
aa tlie first battle between Spain and the
United States. Aa for us, wo only see
ill it tlie last stages of the advance of
the Cubans toward independence. The
catastrophe has caused tlie death of 250
unfortunate sailors, but it has also saved
the Uvea of millions of combatants, for
it insures the final triumph of the insur
rection before many weeks."

A startling incident of which Mr. John
Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject
is narrated by him as follows: I was in
a most dreadful condition. My skin
was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in back und
aides, no appetite gradually growing
weaker day by day. Threo physicians
had given too up. Fortunately, a friend
advised trying 'Electric Bitters,' and to
my great joy and surprise, the iirst hot-
tie made a decided improvement I con
tinued their use for throe weeks, and am
now a well man. I know they saved
my lite and robbed thu grave of another
victim." No one should fait to try them.
