THE Bill
ALARMED
Does Not Think Modern Civ
ilization t Very Good.
ARMIES COST TOO MUCH
War Too Expensive and The
Draft on Society Too
Great.
Br Associated Press.
New York, Dec. 19.—A dispatch to the
Times from London says: At a great pub
lic conference held Sunday afternoon in
St. James hall favoring an international
ratification of the czar's peace proposition
William T. Stead said that while he tfould
not give the exact words of the czar in a
recent interview, the substance of what
his majesty said was ae follows:
‘I look out over the world; I study our
civilization 'and I do not find it very good.
I see nations all engaged in seizing or
trying to seize 'all territory not yet occu
pied by European powers. I look at the
results. They do not seem to me to be
good.
'For the native races what does impe
rial expansion mean? Too often opium,
alcohol and all m'anner of foul diseases,
a great gulf between the governed and
those who rule and crushing taxation upon
the natives for the blessings of this civ
ilization.
“And for tic nations who seize, what
does it mean? A continual increase of
'suspicion, Jealousy 'and rivalry; the heap
ing up of fleets and armies in order to
take part in the scramble with the world,
with the result that the army and navy
are swallowing up more and more millions
that should be used for the welfare of the
people and the 'advancement of the world.
“On top are a few very rich and com- I
sortable. Down below with an ever in
creasing pressure of taxes for armaments !
is the great mass of poor people whose |
'position is not very good. There is an
ever increasing multitude of those below
with their breeding discontent ripening
into socialism 'and developing into all
kinds of anarchy.
“No, I do not find our civilization good.
Why do we make it so? We have at the j
‘present moment arrived at this stage that i
we have put all our very best manhood i
in the army. So much is this the case
that ve cannot mobilize the whole of our
mops in European countries without dis-
Ho’atir.g the whole fabric of the social
• ommunity.
“War has befcome so expensive that no
state can stand the strain of protracted
war without having to look bankruptcy in
•.he face and we are so perfecting our
modern weapons of destruction that no
army can go into the field without losing
so large a proportion <of its officers that
when the war is over even if that army
bze victorious the war wil h'ave inflicted
irreparable loss on the country. What
with the disconnection caused by mobiliz
ing. what with an empty excnecquer. what
with decimated ranks of leading and gov
erning men, I see nothing before any na
tion but 'a terrible heritage of revolution
ary anarchy.” . j

WEAKENED VESSEL. _
U. S. Vessel Not Fit For Much Ser
vice.
By Associated Press.
San Francisco, Dec. 19. —The United
States training ship Adams is not likely to
go to Samoa or any port far away from
home. She may go to Magdelena for gun
practice, but the authorities may not even
allow her to go that far. Her spar deck
'beams have been opened and other defects
have shown themselves, so the vessel Is
•not now considered safe for a long voy
age. The starting of the deck beams is
•attributed to the constant drilling of two
hundred naval apprentices on the spar
deck.

AiDRUNKEN ENGINEER.
He Blows Up a Boat And Kills Three
Men.
*' New York, Dec. 19. —A dispatch to the
Hera) 1 from Havana says: A terrible ex
plosion shook the little steamer Fanita
early Sunday morning when some ateam
pipes in the boiler room blew out killing
one man and fatally scalding three others.
The Fanita was at anchor in the harbor
ready to go out in the morning. Three
men were at work upon the machinery
when Chief Engineer A. E. Geer of the
Tampa went into the boiler room.
Geer had been drinking. By mistake or
accident he opened a stop cock, turning
the full pressure of steam into pipes that
had been found'defective. Instantly there
came a terrific explosion that wrecked the
room, instanly killing Geer. John Wil
sey, Assistant Engineer William Green,
a fireman and Peter Walsh, a machinist,
ware so badly scalded that they are all
dying at the Reina Mercedes hospital.
The Fanita is the steamer that left Mo
bile last summer loaded with munitions of
war, ostensibly for General Gomez, but
really for San Dornin guan fiilibusters. who
tried to effect a landing from the Fanita
at Monte Christo and start a revolution
there, but were driven off.

By Associated Press.
j New York. Dec. 19.—A dispatch to the
World from Havana says: The Cubans on
Sunday celebrated the evacuation of Ma
riano on invitation of the Alcade, Senor
Gomcz de La Manza. Every street was
decorated with American and -Cuban flags
1 intertwined and at every "point erected
triumphal arches bearing suitable inscrip
tions,
'Menocal’s troops of 400 cavalrymen pa
raded the town m the morning. In the
procession were Generals 'Menoca.l, La
'Cret, Julio Sanguily and Mayla Rodriguez.
A breakfast was given -at ndon in the
hotel El Oriente. General Lee was invi
ted to it. but being unable to be present
he was represented by 'Colonel Armfield,
commander of the first brigade, Second di
vision. and Captain R. E. Paxton, brigade
adjutant.
The Cubans were most enthusiastic.
Among the speeches was one by Julio Sa-n
--guilly, who declared that the 'Cubans look
upon the Americans as brothers, but what
ever might be the consequence the Cubans
must insist upon absolute independence.
The Spanish authorities have 'taken
strict measures to prevent any disturb
ance. Strong guards are stationed in
every quarter, while special precautions
have ibeen taken around the prado and
Hotel Inglaterra.
The engineer corps at 'Mariana't probably
will go next week to IMatanzas to prepare
the way for the American troops.

HORRIBLE
CONDITIONS
The Poor of Havana In a
Most Woful State. i
New York. Dec. 19 —A dispacch to the !
World from Havana says:
The distribution of the relief ship
Comal's cargo wil! begin Tuesday under
the direction Os Lieutenant Lange, of the
First Louisiana volunteers. Food supplies
t othe amount of 150 tons have been land
ed and arrangements will be made with
local committees for distribution among
the poor of Havana.
The World correspondent accompanied
Lieutenant Lange on a tour of the city to
ascertain the actual condition of the ne
cessitous poor. At the 'Mozoro insane asy
lum a horrible state of affairs was dis
covered. One hundred and twenty in
mates, emaciated and showing every signs
of starvation, are now confined there. Six
months ago there were over six hundred
in thife asylum but death and starvation
have reduced their numbers to about one
seventh of that figure.
The Spanish government withdrew its
' grant and although was raised for
the institution, corrupt officials embezzled
most of it. leaving the patients destitute.
A large quantity of the Comal's food has
■ been handed over to them.
Several tenement houses near the Prado,
the fashinonable drive of the city, were
visited. There, crowded in filthy rooms
over a livery stable the stench from which
filled the atmosphere, lived more than
twenty families. All kinds of sickness
' were found and lying in a corner-of one
room were two persons with yellow fever.
■ They had no medical attention, were with
out even the common necessities of life
and judging from their condition had but
• few hours to live.
Other inmates were similarly destitute
I and suffering from diseases bred by filth
and hunger. Pinched and wan, they bless
ed the approach of the American relief
with its hope of some alleviation of their
misery.

Catarrh Leads
to Consumption.
A Forerunner of the Most
Fatal Disease.
Though its offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people are aware of the danger
pf which Catarrh is the forerun
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment of
sprays, washes and inhaling mix
tures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while, causing a
feeling of personal defilement, and
gets deeper and deeper until it is
only a question of a short time
until the lungs are affected.
The importance of the proper
treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, as such treatment
never did curs Catarrh, and never
will.

A VERY

I Secret
After

“I had such a severe case of Catarrh
that I lost my hearing in one ear, and
part of the bode in my nose sloughed
off. I was constantly treated with
sprays and washes, but each winter
the disease seemed to have a firmer
hold on ma. I had finally been de
clared incurable when I decided to
try S. S. S. It seemed to get right at
the seat of the disease, and cured me
permanently, for I have had no touch
of Catarrh for seven years.
‘‘Mrs. Josrphimb Polhha..
“Due West, 3. C.”
Those who have had the first
lief and found only disappoint
ment in local treatment will find
it wise to waste no further time
on sprays, washes, inhaling mix
tures, etc., which are only tempo
rary and can not save them from
Consumption. Catarrh is a deep
seated blood disease. S. S. S. is
the only remedy which can reach
the very bottom of the disease
and cure it permanently.
