Vol. X. No. 206. BANDIT CHIEF EXECUTED : Attempt to Rescue Him Failed. New | Marriage Decree at Santiago Santiago de Ci wa, May -I—J ljsn Caballero, the chief of the bandits who are terrorizing the Holguin district, was executed yesterday at Mayari, An attempt was made to rescue the con victed man by his friends, but the ru ral guards prevented i'. and shot two of the would be rescuers Two others were arrested. Caballero’s men are gradually realizing that under the new order of things here the Americans will severely punish brigandage, and that a safer living can b“ made in fol lowing peaceful pureu is. Gen. Leonard Wood, the military governor, issued a decree today declar ing that all marriages contracted be fore tba regular representatives of any religious body or sect shall be legal upon registration at the city registra tion office. Marriages contracted in the last three yexrs in any manner, according to the rules of any church or before competent witnesses, shall I also be recognized as legal upon regis tration This sets aside the old Span ish law requiring the sanction of the Roman Catholic church to make mar riage legal. The new law will validate nearly 3,000 morally true marriages < that were entered into by Cubans dur ing their war with Spain, when the conditions of expense or danger ren- < dered the ordinary method of marriage impossible. The mantle of legitimacy l will also bs thrown around the many « children born of these irregular mar- 1 riagee. i Spreads Like Wildfire- You can’t keep a good thing down. News of it travels fast. When things ( are “the best,” they become “the beet selling.” Abraham Hare, a leading f druggist, of Belleville, 0., writes: ] “Electric Bitters are the best selling bitters I have ever handled in my 20 ‘ years experience.” You know why? c Most diseases begin in disorders of 1 stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, blood t and nerves. Electric Bitters tones up t the stomach, regulates the liver, kid neys and bowels, purifies the blood, 1 strengthens the nerves, hence cures 1 multitudes of maladies. It builds up t the entire system. Puts new life and vigor into any weak, sickly, run down man or woman. Only 50 cents, ’ sold by Harris and Son and Carlisle A j Ward, druggists. Guaranteed, ( Ths American Girl. “The American girl has set the J standard of beauty for the whole world ( and unlike most sweeping statements, there never was one so true, even in its finest analysis,” writes Edward Bok in the May Ladies Horne Journal. ] “And not only is thia true of the t American girl's beauty, but it goes | further and is true of her chic and her I brightness She is the cleverest and i most graceful girl in the world. Like- t wise is she the best dressed. I The French may set the fashions, 1 but it takes an American giri to wear ( them. No girl so completely under stands the art of dressing well. See, for E a moment, how true this is of the girl t of limited income—she who is out in ] the world earning her bread. , No girls in the world dresses more becomingly than the self-supporting < girl of America. Every one who see’s , anything of the world and of the work ( ing-girls of other nations knows how literally true this is. The working-girl in America is prettier to begin with. We all know that some of the prettiest types of American girlhood are found behind the counters of stores and at desks in officers. But the American girl does not atop with her personal beauty. She is clever enough to know exact ly how to drees to suit her circum stance’, aud rarely does she overdress.” Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the car. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can lie taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces.

I Direct From Aguinaldo Holds a Long Conference With Otis Manila, May -I.—There was a con ference lasting iwo hours today be tween Major General E. S. Olis and the envoys, who came here from Gen. Antonio Luna, bearing a proposal for a cessation of hostilities. General Otis adhered to his refusal to recognize the s -railed government of the insurgents. The Filipino envoys abandoned the pretenes under which they came to J ( General Olis that they represented General Antonio Luna,aud today they 1 announced that they came as represen tatives of Aguinaldo himself. The ( emissaries used all their wiles to se cure a reply from General Olis to (he , latter from Seuor Mabini, Aguinaldo’s prime minister and minister of foreign ... . , ” i aflairs in the dictator s cabinet, which they presented to General Oiis on yesterday ; but General Otis refused to make any reply, on the ground that to j do so would be equivalent to a recog nition of the so-called government of the Filipinos. Major A rgueles said that A guina’do | ( knew he would be overpowered in i j time, but that he would no able to continue the fight for months and he I ( would do so unless he were given what ( Major Argueles termed peace with , dignity. The Filipinos ask fur a truce of three months to enable Aguinaldo to r summon the congress and consult with the insurgent leaders or others of the islands. The envoys admitted the r contention of General Otis that Aguin- f aldo has little control over affairs j. outside of the Island of Luzon. The question of the release of the Spanish prisoners in the hands of . Filipinos mentioned, Major Manuel j Argueles, the chief member of the t deputation, said that be considered them as being in the same category as r the Americans, the United States being the successor of Bpain in domination ( over the island and acquiring, by { treaty, all Spanish rights and obliga- £ tions.

What Liquid Air Can Be Used For- It would Sf-f m ti. it certain uve j may be found for liquid tir in wl.i-h ’•dera’it... ■ fc.,-: i ’ ... hi p-.r- tant as is the abi ily to obtain tin- ef fects in view In warfare, for t xam. pie, the possession of highly concen trated energy -stores under control is very important. Liquid air can be rapidly converted into compressed air at six tons per square inch, Tills would probably be useful in the pro jection of bigfi explosives U impress ed air is now used for propelling mo bile torpedoes, or fish-torpedoes, as they are called. Dirigible torpedoes either depend for power upon com pressed air or the electric energy of a storage-battery. Compressed air re quires high pressures and very strong and heavy containing vessels L’qnid air can be stored without pressue or at low pressures, aud can be evapotaled at auy desired pressure, whih its bulk represents that of air under 800 at- 1 moepberes. A storage-h ut-ry would I probably be from five b ten times aj 1 heavy as liquefied air in a receptacle, 1 for equal available energy. But no storage battery could be discharged at ! an equivalent rate Submarine boats nr.d flying ma- ’ chines may yet find us-. for liquid air. ' In the submarine boat it could be 1 evaporated by the beat of surrounding 1 water, and after furnishing power it 1 would ventilate the boat Before the I final discharge it could be burnt with 1 oil in a fuel engine for further power. 1 We may find use for it in the flying 1 machine. For emergency work it 1 could in evaporating cool the cylinders I of a fuel engine and yield power as a result. Moreover, control of the sub- 1 mergence of a boat could be effected 8 by the use of liquid air, so easily gasi- ( fied, to add to the displacement. 1 The great feature of the application r of such a power as liquid air would be s its emergency value. By this is meant I the ability to obtain at will a sudden 1 outpu; far beyond the normal. Ani- 8 mal power notably possesses this emer geney value, and the success of electric I trolley systems largely depends upon c the fact that, when needed, the station ' can be called upon for a temporary I delivery to any single car or train, of a ' power greatly in excess of the rated 5 output of the motors —Professor Elihu c Tbomson. in The Engineering Maga- r zine for May. _ jc Bucklen's Arnica Salve- 0 THE BEST SALVE in the world for F Cuts,Bruises, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum a Fever Bores, Tetter, Chapped Hands, 1 Chilblains, Corns, and all Skin Eruptions, c and positively cures Piles, or no pay rc- v quired.

In commenting upon tlm criticism of some of the eastern papirs in con demning the people <f the south f r protecting the sanctity of their homes and the honor of their women, the Houston Post says: "Cur eastern Phar.-ei s may wail and condemn, hut they cannot, at last, hurt the south. We are overwhelm ingly the purest of the Ang'- -Saxon stock in this new world, and we are capable of protecting ourselves and maiLlaiinng i ,r pr -gr-.-- I eivi'.’.za ti n even though we may at times give way to those old fierce passions that have made the Angle-Sax.>n after all what be is in the world today I We are in the south to dominate it and protect our every interest, and we are going to perform the mission I” The eastern Pharisees must be dull indeed if they cannot understand this straightforward statement, every word of which is true. The Post does not miuce words and words should nut be minced in dealing with such a serious subject. The New Orleans States, re plying to the same critics, speaks to the point with equal directness. It says : “In the suffering of the negro whois put to death by the infuriated people our northern Critics have no thought, whatever, of the appalling mental aud physical torture of his victim, who may be an innocent child of tender years, a pure maiden on the threshold of womanhood of a virtuous wife and mother.
