“Cuban residents of Havana de
clare that if General Brooke

Ths Cuban psaee commission,
after a stormy interview with
General Bro.ke tonight, tele

as no courtesy aould be shown
him.
The Cubans are greatly excited .
Today they stood on everf cor
ner ot the city discussing the sit

“ ‘We have not fought for a
change of masters', declared Juan
Frederics Cantellas, ooe of the
most prominent Cubans iu Ha
vana.
“ 'Our army is still in ths field.
They shall uot fey down their
arms until we find out whether we

“Two nights age General Lud

that the Cuban army might enter
Havana.
“Tonight General Brooka told
the commission that the Cuban
army is not to be recognized, and
is to have uo part in ’he demon

“This action at once caused the
Cubans to declare that they would
stay in thair houses, and the day

r Scrofula
Is a deep-seated blood disease which
all the mineral mixtures in the world
cannot care. S.S.B. (guaranteed purely
vegetable ) is a real blood remedy for
blood diseases and hag no equal.
Mrs. V.T. Buck, of Delaney, Ark., had
Scrofula for twenty-five years and most
of the time was under the care of the
doctors who could not relieve her. A
a specialist said he
could cure her, but
he filled her with
arsenic and potash
which almost ruined
her constitution. She
then took nearly
every so-called blood
medicine and drank
them by the wholesale,
but they did not reach
her trouble. Some
one advised her to try
S.S.S. aud she very
soon found that she had a real blood
remedy at last. She says: “After tak
ing one do-en bottles of S.S.S. I am
perfectly well, my skin is Csear
and healthy and I would not be in
mv former condition for two thousand
dollars. Instead of drying upthepois- a
in mv system, like the potash and
arsenic S.S.S. drove the disease out
through the skin, and I was perma
nently rid of it.’’
A Real Blood Remedy.

Eczema, Rheumatism Contagious Blood
Poison, or any disorder of the blood.

R«suit««i in a Meat Remarka
ble Scene.
Peeria, HL, Dec. 80.—During
the Christmas exercises in the
Gerutau Methodist Episcopal
church in Pekin, HL , the large
tree loaded with gifts and bla
zing with hundreds of caudles,
caught fire and blaxed up fierce
ly. The church was packed to
the doors, and there was immi
nent danger of a panic. Women
screamed and several f.<int-d a*
the aiad scramble for safety be
ga«.
The pastor, Rev. Williaai H
Traeger, sprang to the front of
the stage and commanded the
audience to be seated. He said
the emergency of fire had been
provided for and there was no
danger if everyone kept still.
Then he gave out a familiar
hymn, directed the organist to
play up good and strong and or
dered Ihe'eholr t© sing loudly,
his enol attitude restored confi
dence, and the people began to
sink back inte their seats.
Meanwhile, as tbs fire reir c d
and crackled, the music grew
louder.
The pastor flicked burning
embers from the tree that
alighted upon his hymn book te
the floor and stepped upon them,
st the same time singing at the
top of his voice.
The screams and moans *of
the terrified ones were drowned
out by the congregational sing
ing. A Are brigade, improvised
for service in case fire should
break out, began work on the
burning tree. A heavy wet tar
paulin was dropped upon it and
the vagrant sparks stamped out.
Then, despite the fact that
the church was filled with
smoke, the exercises proceeded,
minus many of the pifts, but
with phuty ©f music.
