Washington, 8 ept. 10. — The State

LIBERAL LEADERS ARE ARRESTED
Provinces o f Pinar del

Worst Disorders.
Havana, Sept. 11.— President Palma
tonight issued a decree suspending all
constitutional guarantees, with special
reference to articles 15, 17, 19, 22 , 23,
24 and 27 in the provinces of Pinar del

A supplemental decree has been issu
ed suspending the decree of August 28
pardoning repentant rebels and order
ing that all rebels be arrested and
jailed.
Both decrees have been communicat
ed to all officers in the field.
Coincident with the issuance of the
decrees, which followed tonight’ s de
cision not to yield to the peace de
mands, the government ordered the ar
rest of practically every prominent L ib
eral. Alfredo Z iyaB, president of the
Liberal party, and several other Lib er

that two editors, four city officials and

town to organize a rebel band.
K IL L OFF REDS.
Governor o f Seidlice, Russia, Turns
Cannon on Terrorists.
St. Petersburg, Sept. 11.— Advices
from Seidbe received during the night
are to the effect that fighting and bom
barding of houses, which ceased about
midday on Monday, was resumed late
in the afternoon, apparently in conse
quence of Governor Engelke’ s demand
that the Jewish and Polish populace
deliver up to him the members of the
Jewish Self Defense association.
The
bund refused this, preferring death in
the open to a tame surrender, and re
sumed the battle. A rtillery was again
brought into action, but it is not known
if the fighting still continues.
It is impossible to obtain full details
of the events at Seidlce, as the authori
ties absolutely forbid communication
and turn back all correspondents. The
Associated Press correspondent at W ar
saw, after several times vainly endeav
oring to enter the stricken town of
Seidlce, was obliged to give up the
effort at midnight.
At Rndgusowska, 40 miles east of
Warsaw, which is the Bite of the great
Syzradow mills, conditions similar to
those at 8 eidlce were witnessed.
The
soldiers are said to have killed 40 per
sons.
Fugetives from Seidlce report that
Governor Engelke issued an ultimatum
declaring that he would bombard the
whole town unless the terrorists sur
rendered. In consequence of the pillage
and destruction, the peasants are suf
fering for food and water.
A telegram received here late last
night from Seidlce, from a resident who
succeeded in smuggling it through the
censorship, says that pillaging com
menced Saturday night instead of Sun
day, and after a few minutes filing ia
Warsaw street the soldiers broke into
gin shops, became drunk and then en
tered indisciiminately the apartments
of bouses of all classes, killing, pillag-
tng and committing under cover of the
walls the most heinous crimes.
The
number of victims is nnknown, but it
is placed at 100. Moet of the corpees
are hidden in the ruins of houses.

The attempt to force slavery on Kan
sas convinced him, however, that the
day for considering peaceful emanci
pation was past. He then advocated
whatever measure of force might be
necessary.
He gave large sums o f money to free-

shown that he had given money to
Brown only, as he did to scores of

Anemia means a condition In which
the blood is deficient ln quality or
quantity. It Is a question amoug phy
sicians whether there Is ever an ac
tual permanent reduction In the total
aniouut o f the blood.
The quantity
must vary, o f course, from hour to
hour, according to the amount o f fluid
that la drunk, and tbe amount that le
lost by perspiration and ln other w ay»,
but It Is probable that the average re*
mains nbout the same from day to day,
except In cases o f actual starvation
and deprivation of water.
Anemia, then. Is mainly a question
o f the make-up o f the blood, that Is, o f
the number o f Its red corpuscles, or
cells, and tbe relative amount o f hem
oglobin— the
coloring matter— which
these contain. The blood Is a complex
fluid, but ln simple terms It may tie
said to he a salty solution, containing
two kinds o f eells-^the red and the
white corpuscles. The white ones are
the scavengers o f the body as well as
the policemen and the soldiers. They
protect the body from the disease
germs which threaten Its existence.
The red corpuscles, on the other hand,
are the commissary department. They
bring to the tissues the oxygen which
they need and remove the gnseoua
■waste products.
I f the red corpuscles and the sub
stance of which they are most largely
composed, the hemoglobin, are reduced
In amount, the tissues suffer for l,»5i
o f oxygen, and there Is a lowering o f
all the vital processes. The lessened
proportion o f hemoglobin accounts fo r
the paleness which Is the chief out
ward sign o f anemia.
It Is common to si>eak o f two forma
o f anemia— primary and secondary.
Prim ary Is the terra used when tha
anemia can be traced to no definite
cause, but seems to be a disease ln It
self. Secondary Is the word used when
the anemia Is evidently the result o f
some other condition, such as wasting
diseases or poor nourishment,
it Is
then only one o f the symptoms of such
underlying state.
Among the chief cauia-s o f secondary
anemia nre drains upon the system by
frequent losses o f blood, or by diarrhea
or other wasteful discharges, chronlo
poisoning by lend or mercury, by tba
essential poslons o f certain diseases,
such ns rheumatism nnd tuberculosis,
nnd by poisons formed in the body nnd
not promtly removed, which Is called
"autointoxication,” and flnnlly the de
struction o f the red corpuscles by a
microorganism, as Is the case In ma
