Vol. X. No. 181
ASSEMBLY will dissolve
Obstacles to Disbandment of the Cu
ban Army Have Been Removed
Havana, April s—The Cuban as
sembly met yesterday and finally de
cided to dissolve and diabind the
army, thus removing one of the great
est obstacles to the peace and pros
perity of the island.
A resolution was adopted by the as
sembly ordering ,he several chiefs to
give each soldier a ,e t ficate of b< r
vice. Their arms are to be given up
to the chiefs, who will give them in
charge of the municipal authorities
until a government is est >bli-Imd. One
month is given all members of the
army in which to present their claims
for titles and honors
It was officially agreed to turn over
to Gen. Brooke a copy of the pay roll
of the Cuban army so that the three
million dollars presented by the Unit
ed States can be distributed.
There is great consternation among
Gen. Gomez’s officers over the fact
that he expects to leave Saturday or
Sunday for his home in San Domingo.
Gen. Gomez says he is going to live on
bis farm there. There is a great deal of
talk over the manifesto issued by Gen.
Gomez, in the form of an open letter
to bis wife and friends iu San Dom
ingo. lu this letter Gen. Gomez say»
he is satisfied that lie has done his
duty, and the only rewaid be asks is
the love of the Cubans, lie adds that
the assembly first accepted the s3,a
000,000 donation from the United
States, and he was in his camp, for
gotten by the Gubins and most
Americans, when Mr. Portor, Presi
dent McKinley’s representative, visited
him and conferred with him on the
■ tuation He then agreed to assist in
bringing about the disbandment of
the Cuban army, and accepted, in
behalf of the army, the proffered pe
cuniary Assistance from the Ameri
cans. Meanwhile the assembly re
pented of its acceptance of the money
and wished to have the sum increased
to $13Q00,000. Three gentlemen who
claimed to be American bankers called
on him and offered to make a larger
loan, but he refused to accept it be
cause the Cuban republic had not yet
been established and the wishes of the
Cuban people could not be heard.
This aroused the indignation of the
assembly and bis deposition from his
post of commander-in-chief of the
Cuban army followed This is the
first clear explanation of the trouble
between Gen. Gomez and the assem
bly that has yet been made. The ac
tion of the assembly in finally decid
ing to dissolve justifies the course
of Gen Gomez, his friends claim
Remarkable Rescue-
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,
111, makes tha statement that she
caught cold, which settled on her
lungs ; she was treated for a month by
her family physician, but grew worse.
He told her she was a hopeless victim
of consumption, and that no medicine
could cure her. Her druggist sug
gested Dr. King’s New Discovery for
consumption ; she bought a bottle and
to her delight found herself benefitted
from first dose. She continued its use
and after taking six bottle, found her
self sound and well; now does her own
housework, and is as well as she ever
was Free trial bottles of this Great
Discovery at Harris & Son’s and Car
lisle & Ward’s drug stores. Only 50c.
and SIOO, every bottle guaranteed.
The heavy frosts last week killed
what fruit remained in the section
around Rome from the recent terrific
freeze. Peach blossoms examined un
der a microscope sbow the fruit germ
to be dead and perfectly black. It is
feared that apples have been seriously
oarmed and plums and cherries killed.
Strawberry plants were not damaged,
and the prospect now is for a good
crop.

HARD FIGHTING EXPECTED
The Insurgents Massing Strong Forces
North cf Calumpit-
Manila, April s—The insurgents
are massing strong forces north of
■ Calumpit, ab( nt five and a half miles
• northwest of Malolos, and, according
to the observation of the reconnoiter
ing parties, they have fine intrench
ments there
- It is expected that hard fighting
will be necessary to dislodge them at
that point and at San Fernando,
where Aguinaldo is supposed to be.
Large rivers strengthen bo'h posi
tions.
The Montana regiment had one man
killed and three wounded yesterday.
Twenty-five men were prostrated by
the heat and brought to the hospital.
Two now big Krupp guns, one six
inch and the other eight-inch, which
were found buried at Malolos, though
secured late, will be mounted.
In searching the building at Malo
los, which was the former treasury
department of the insurgonts, but now
American headquarters, three safes
were found. Only one of these has
yet been opened. It contained $23,-
000
Can Trusts be Overthrown.
The question as to what shall be
done to prevent the permanent monop
olization of the business of the country
by the trusts is the subject of study on
the part of many thoughtful men. If
a state autl orizas the incorporation of
many corporations into one can con
gress intervene, and if so, to what ex
tent? Is it necessary for a constitu
tional amendment to be adopted in
order to reach the evil? What do con
siderations of the general welfare de
mand? These are the basic questions
and upon their determination rests
the fate of industry in this country.
It has been suggested that Congress
may whip the devil around the stump
by putting upon the free list all those
articles which the trusts manufacture
or control, thereby bringing against
them the mushing force of European
competition.
That policy would, of course, speedi
ly effect the purpose, but in view of
the multitude of the trusts, and the
great diversity ol the inerest now
covered by them, such a policy wou d
eventuate in practical free trade, and
force the government to new methods
of raising revenue And yet if the
trusts be permitted to stand, with
steadily increasing power, they can so
discourage importation as to force the
government to new levies for revenue.
Thus the rule works both ways with
the trust at the vanage point. It is a
hard problem indeed, and one which
may have to be solved after all by a
constitutional amendment of some
sort, predicated upon the doctrine that
corporations with independent char
ters may not be welded into one. A
system of progressive taxation accord
ing to the amount of capital employed
might affect a cure but it may require
a constitutional amendment to justify
the application of such a remedy
Macon News.
A Parrot Story.
A maiden lady of a certain town of
Cornwall owned a parrott, which some
how acquired the disagreeable habit
of observing at frequent intervals : “I
wish the old lady would die,” says the
Household Words. This annoyed the
bird’s owner, who spoke to her curate
about it “I think we can rectify the
matter,” replied the good man. •*!
ale ; have a parrot, and he is a right
eous bird, having been brought up in
the way he should go. I will lend you
my parrot, and trust his influnce will
reform that depraved bird of yours.”
The curate’s parrot was placed in
the same room with the wicked one,
and as soon as the two had become
accustomed to each other, the bad
bird remarked :‘T wish the old lady
would die.” Whereupon the clergy
man’s bird rolled up his eyes, and in
solemn accent added : “We beseech
thee to hear us, good Lord!” The
story got out in the parish, and for
several Sundays it was necessary to
omit the Litany at the church serv ices.

There were only six of our boys at Mil
ner Sunday afternoon. We would like to
get up an exchange with the Milnerites,
by giving her some of our boys for some
of the fair sex. In fact, some of our boys
think they are entitled to a Milner girl,
any way, for we went down about a week
ago and bought the girls shadows, and
some of the boys say that the shadows
cost nearly as much as some of the girls
are worth. See? But we will drop this
subject by saying that we will give a boy
for a girl. Some of our boys are inclined
to be bashful, and they requested me to
act as agent for them through the Even

ing; feed the horses on water and gallop,
to save corn and fodder; turn the calf in
to the cow, to keep from milking ; go to
the spring, to keep from drawing water;
buy goods on credit, to save money; buy
a music box, to keep from singing, and
last, to stay single, in order to be happy.

They Resemble Animals.
Human faces, it is said, often bear a
striking resemblance to some animals, and
this peculiarity is remarkably pronounced
among the crowned heads of Europe. The
czar has often been likened to a bull ter
rier, with his snub nose, round, promi
nent eyes and full lips, and in the face of
the German emperor people have traced a
resemblance to a mad foxhound, especially
in that portrait where ho is looking back
over one shoulder with an anxious, hunt
ed expression. Os course every one knows
that in the Marquis of Salisbury’s head
and face Is represented a perfect English
mastiff—a resemblance of which the great
st atesman and premier is said to be proud,
as indicative of his own character.
A dosed Pension List.
France has paid its last pension to rva
poleon I’s soldiers. In 1869 a law was
passed granting SSO a year to all noncom
missioned officers and privates who served
ten years in the armies of the first republic
or of the first empire and had received a
wound. For the first year the payments
amounted to $600,000; last year the sum
was SSO, and the last recipient is now dead
at the age of 105 years.

Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy.
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing t< > the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality ami sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without w.-akenmg
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing firs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna -nd
