FRENCH comers MUTINY.
Dreyfus’ Guards Ordered to Kill Him
Before Releasing Him-
LoMPONrßepi. 21—A d>
patch from Paris «y« ‘be deputy rep
re-enling French Guiana in tbecham
ber has received a diepatch announcing
that a mutiny has taken place among
the convicts at Cayenne, the capital of
French Guinea.
The mutineers, it appears overpow
ered and murdered their guards, then
stormed the military storehouse and
eised the armsand ammunition there
They are now, according to the dis
patch, besieging the principal prison,
and it is feared they may succeed in
freeing the 4,000 convicts confined in
the building. Reinforcements have
been telegraphed for to the island of
Martinique but it is said they will not
arrive in time to suppress the mutiny.
Devil’s island, where Albert Dreyfus
the former captain in the French ar
tillery, is confined under sentence for
having sold secrets of the war depart
ment to a foreign government, is but
a short distance from Cayenne.
It is probable that the revolt of con
victs may be the death knell of the
prisoner whose condemnation has so
stirred up the French nation, for his
guards are under strict orders to kill
him if any attempt is made to release
him or if there is any possibility of bis
escaping.
Cuba May Prove Troublesome.
The impression is very general that
the only trouble the peace commission
will have will be in connection with
tbe Philippines. There are reasons
for thinking, however, that it will not
be altogether plain sailing in the mat
ter of Cuba.
What is the situation in respect to
Cuba? Congress has declared that
Cuba ought to be free and independent,
but this country has never recognized
tbe so-called Cuban republic, and no
other nation has recognized it. One
of our peace commissioners is on
record as saying that there was no
Cuban republic when war against
Spain was declared, and there has
been no republic established since.
To whom, then, will Spain cede Cuba?
She cannot cede it to Cubans, because
they have no government, and she is
doubtless glad that she cannot cede it
to them. She. will have to cede it to
the United States, says tbe Savannah
News.
And in making the cession she is
likely to insist upon a stipulation that
they shall maintain a force in the is
land sufficient to protect Spanish in
terests, and Spaniards who remained
loyal to Spain. A stipulation of that
kind could not very well be refused.
Would not such a stipulation mean
tbe permanent occupation of Cuba by
this country? ,
In this connection the New York
Herald rather pertinently askt>, And
when Spain has ceded Cuba to tbe
United States and the treaty has In it
tbe stipulation that an American force
shall remain in the island to protect
the interest of Spaniards, who were
loyal to Spain, where will be found
authority in tbe constitution to cede
Cuba to tbe Cubans? Putting it that
way makes a very interesting ques
tion, and one that may give our peace
commissioners trouble.
Remarkable Rescue,
Mrs. Plainfield,
111, makes tbe statement that she
caught cold, which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for a mouth by
her family physician, but grew worse.
He told bei 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 benefited
from first dose She continued its use
and after taking six bottles, found
herself sound aud well; now does her
own housework, and is as well as sbe
ever was.—-Free trial bottles of this

ALL SERENE IN HAVANA.
Cubans Confident tbe United States la
Acting In Good Faith.
Havana, Sept. 21.—There was no
exchange of notes today between the
American and Spanish evacuation
commission.
Boxes to the number of 463, con
taining records of tbe Spanish military
departments, were sent to Spain today
on the steamer Alfonso XIII. Thir
teen boxes belong to tbe militsiy gov
ernment of Havana, 136 to tbe super
intendent of infantry, and the rest to
the departments and to the batteries
that will embark first, to return home.
Generals Gonzales, Carroll aud Gu
gueroa Herenandez left for Spain to
day, with their staffs Several other
officers went on tbe same steamer.
In accordance -with the prevailing
belief that tbe autonomist cabinet will
remain in office for a long time, Senof
Montero, the secretary of finance, has
made arrangements for drawing of the
Havana lottery for six months more,
ahd tickets are being sold for the
drawings that will not take place un
til December
The city continues quiet
The recent trouble between the mil
itary officers and civilians were of no
political importance.
Steamers continue to arrive here,
crowded with Cuban refugees, who re
turn unmolested to their homes.
* The insurgent newspaper, La Es
trella Solitarioj is sold on the streets
of the city without interference by tbe
press censor.
La Verdad, a paper under the di
rection of tbe editor of the organ of
the Cuban Junta at Key West, is also
sold without molestation.
Part of the Cuban army is still en
camped in tbe outskirts of Havana.
The soldiers, despite tbe fact that they
have no food, don’t trouble the farm
ers. They depend altogether upon
tbe bounty of tbe citizens to keep
them from actual starvation.
The American commission pays
11,000 a week for board at tbe Baton
and Trotcba, at El Vedade. The
American flag has been raised over
tbe building and a guard of American
marines put around the building. Tbe
case annex has been closed to the pub
lic in order to protect the American
commission from annoyance.
Admiral Sampson, Gen. Wade and
Gen. Butler are sight-seeing today.
They will visit tbe Cuban camps, out
side the city, also of tbe Cubans who
have visited tbe commissions to ex
press themselves as highly satisfied
with tbe declarations that the United
States is acting in absolute good faith
to carry out its expressed intention to
establish Cuban independence and a
stable government.

Charged $5 for “Sass”
A story is told of Fanny Kemble,
whose favorite summer resort was
Lenox, that on her first season there
sbe employed a self respecting villager,
who bad a comfortable turnout, to
drive her about, says the Boston Re
cord. He, feeling it to be bis duty to
make the drive as entertaining as
possible, began to call her atlentipn to
the beauty of tbe scenery—which sbe
wished to enjoy undisturbed—and to
tell her who lived in certain houses as
they passed along, until finally Mrs.
Kemble, being unable to stand it any
longer, said, in the high tragedy man
ner somewhat peculiar to her: “I
havh engaged you to drive for me, sir,
and not to talk ”
The dliver ceased talking, pursed
up his lips, and m all their
drives bis only remarks were such as
he found necessary to address to tbe
horses At the end of the season be
banded in bis bill for the summer ser
vices. Running her eye down its awk"
ward column*, she panted at an item
that she didn’t understand. “What is
ibis, sir? I cannot comprehend it.”
With equal gravity be replied: "Sass,
|5. 1 don’t often take it, but when I
do I charge.” She paid the bill with*
out comment, and continued to em
ploy the i»me driver during many
summers she spent there.

cessful and the patient was resting
ea«y last night

wife and child, and baa many friends

fortune.
Proctor Knott’s Rabbit Story.
Ex Gov. Proctor Knott and a dis
tinguished professional gentleman of
Danville were discussing tbe claims Os
Sampson arid Schley to the credit of
smashing Cervera at Santiago, says a
Lebanon, Ky , diapatcb to the Louis
ville Times. The professional gentle
man took the ground that all the
honor of that memorable conflict be
longed to Admiral Sampson, and was
inclined to ignore entirely Commodore
Schley’s part in the affair. Tbe gov
ernor listened until his companion
had finished and then, with that char
acteristic twinkle in his eye, said :
‘My dear sir, it is exceedingly grat
ifying to me to hear you take the
position you have in this matter. It
is like a balm to my conscience and
settles a point that has worried me
many a day.
* I was walking through the woods
with a boy friend of mine when wo
saw a rabbit run into a sinkhole. We
stood around tbe bole a while; then I
told tbe boy to keep watch while I
went to get some fire to smoke tbe
rabbit out. When I returned the boy
had the rabbit. I promptly took it
away from him, claiming that it be
longed to me, because I had told him
to catch him if he came out.
"That was over fifty years ago, and
you are the first man who has ever
agreed with me that the rabbit was
mine. I feel now that I was right io
taking it and my conscience is at rest.”
Tbe gentleman looked solemn for a
few moments, then smiled a feeble
smile, and changed the subject.
Bobbed the Grave.
A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was tbe
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
"I was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en, tongue coated, pain continually in
back and aides, no appetite—gradually
growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. Fortu
nately, a friend advised trying ‘Elec
tric Bittersand to my great joy and
surprise, the first bottle made a decid
ed improvement. I continued their
use for three weeks, aud am now a
well man. I know they saved my life,
and robbed the grave of another
victim.” No one should tail to try
them. Only 50c per bottle at J. N.
Harris & Son’s and Carlisle & Ward’s
drug stores.

“Ah, not” she sighed. “There is
nothing new under the sun.”
Ho felt around for the mustache he
thought he was raising and turned a
beseeching look upon her.
“Os course,” she went on, “that
can’t bo classed as new. It looks several
weeks old at least.”
For ® moment, however, she thought
she had permitted the Cdoplethwaite

is due not only .to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California. Fig'Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Flo Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—
