SOMETHING ABOUT THE BANDIT WHO H\S
BEEN MAKING TROUBLE ON Til E
TEXAN FRONTIER.
1 l it>iu tho Kuneas City Tim**.]
Cortina is a native of the Sierra Ma
; dern Mountains, over fifty years old,
live feet seven inches high, swarthy,
broad-shouldered, ami with piercing
black eves. Previous to our Mexican
war he lived with his mother on a
runcho near Brownsville, and was
i locally celebrated for his horseman
ship, nis skill with tho lariat and pis
tol, ami the assiduity with which lie
devoted himself to gambling and
1 cock-fighting. When the Mexican
War began, tie became a courier, spy
and bush-waeker in tho Mexican
| service, amt soon made a reputation
i which clung to him after the war,
land caused him to bit feared and
i shunned even In time of peace. He
| waylaid and murdered Colonel True
man Cross, If. S. Q. M. G. This was
the first blood shed iu General Tay
lor's anuy of observation. Lieuten
ant Porter amt three other men soon
after fell by Cortina,s hand. His in
tense hat red of Americans lias never
Dogged for a moment since. In 1859
he witnessed the shooting of a Mexi
can in Brownville by the City Mar
shal named Spears. Cortina advanc
ed upon Spears, spoke lo him and
than deliberately shot him in tho
fftoe. Escaping to Mutamoras, he
soon after reppeared at, daybrako
with thirty mounted and armed
Mexicans in front, of Browuvelle jail.
The jailer, a brave Connecticut volun
teer, who had remained iu Texas
after the war, refused to give up tho
keys and killed a Mexican who tit
tempted to take them from him.
The next moment he was pierced
with bullets and hacked to pieces
with Mexican sabres. Cortina then
liberated all t he prisoners, Mexicans
and Americans, in jail, enrolled them
iu his band, amiratreatM at the head
of nearly one hundred ent-throuls,
after murdering another citizen
named Neill, against whom he had a
grudge.
This was the beginning of a re
j markable career, in which, as bandit
I chief ami scourge of the Texan fron
j tier, ho has ever since remained the
I ruling spirit in the Mexican State of
i Tamaulipas. Taking position at iiis
mother's rancho, and issuing a pro
nuneiamento promising to retake tho
land of his people, as far as the Nue
ces, he soon had over 500 lighting
men, and with these and others who
Hocked to his standard, he occupied
and desolated the frontier of Texas
for live mouths iu spita of all the
forces sent against him by the Mexi
can and American nuthorraes. "With
2,000 men, artillery and munitions of
war, he kept Brownsville in a state of
siege, conscripted Mexican residents,
seized United States mails, and
drove immense herds <f stock to
Mexico, murdered citizens hi every
direction, and fought Humorous
I bloody battles and skirmishes with
inferior bodies of Texan Rangers. At
last a small body of United States in
fantry, artillery and cavalry, under
Major Helntzelman and Captains
Htoneman and, Ricketts, came to the
assistance<f the Bangers and drove
Cortina front a strong position near
the old Palo Alto battle-ground after
a sharp fight. Cortina, now feeling
strong enough to revolutionize Tam
aulipas, make himself king of the
border, and return to Texas with a
larger army, marched up the river to
Rio Grande City, expecting to plunder
and recruit as lie went,, and to march
upon Matamoras and make himself
master of Tamaulipas by declaring
for the church party. He was sur
prised by the Americana at Rio
Grande City, on tho Mexican tide*
His forces word scattered,' witli tho
loss of sixty slain on the spot and
many more, killed ia the pursuit on
Mexican soil. With u fragment of
his command ho recrossed the river,
and again commenced his plunder
ing operations, but was again over
taken and routed, with heavy loss,
by the rangers.
Tills pursuit, of Cortina and the bat
tle on the other side of tile river
caused great excitement in Mexico,
where his exploits had been exaggera
ted, and hailed as patriotic. General
Twiggs, however, adjusted the diffi
culty with the Mexican authorities,
and Cortina, defeated of the end
aimed at, retired to a ruqche, where
he lived in great style and profusion
upon his stolen wealth. During the
French invasion he played patriot,
rallied his old banditti, seized the
Gubernatorial chair of Tamaulipas
and shot all who questioned his au
thority. The French deposed him.
Ha proposed to declare for them if
they would leave him undisturbed in
his little despotism. They refused,
and bo began a murderous and plun
dering guerilla warfare on his own
hook, and kept, it up until t hey forced
him to tako refuge inside tho lines of
tho United States forces then waging
war against tlie'Confederatos.

The American-, in Central Africa.
The Americans serving under the
Khedive of Egypt in Central Africa
arc engaged in a twofold undertak
ing, tile scientific exploration of the
Nile basins and the conquest of the
equatorial tribes. This double enter
prise has already proved substantially
successful, notwithstanding the ob
stacles which impede the African ad
venturer beyond the Nubian desert.
Along the banks of tho White Nile,
many points have been astronomi
cally determined which will serve us
fixed data for triuugulatiou. Iu fact,,
all the bases necessary for accurate
cartography have' been obtained by
Gen, Gordon’s offl'-ers, And have been
forwarded to Ghn. Stone, Who ts the
Khedive’s chief of staff, and iu effect
the War Minister of Egypt. The
area thus explored and mapped Em
braces the valley of tho main Nile
and the outlying territory eastward
to the Rod Sea and westward to the
kingdom of Wadai,
i Southward of the Great Lend of
the Nile begins the cotton region of
the Soudan, extending toward the
equator, and covering an area tnrefi
times the size of France; and still be
yond lies the land of ivory aud the
| slave trade, with numerous isolated
I kingdoms, which must ultimately be
i annexed to tho dominion of the Khe
! dive, Tim material resources of this
! region are very great. The soil is of
unsurpassed richness, and labor, for
its cultivation would be nufficifcntly
abundant after the conquest of the
tribes along the banks of tho TV lute
Nile, of whom, though large num
bers formerly became the prey of the
slave trailers, it is estimated.that 20,-
000,000 are remaining. '
This immense region is not alone to
be explored, but to bo conquered, the
i purpose being plainly to found a
great African autocracy, an empire
the staple product of which shaif be
cotton, tlm social institution of which
shall bo polygamy, and whose law
and policy shall be concentrated in
the personal will of its ruler. The

Crops, enormous lierkonftl wealth, an

j tho smile of tho late Empress of the
French, ho caused one of his chief fa
vorites to bo married to a negross,
that Eugenie might witness the Mo
hammedan ceremony. His gilt of
diamonds to Gen. Hhermnu’s daugh
ter was simply a well put bribe to
touch the grosser sensibilities of the
American people. Money is Ills chief
weapon, disbursed often at the ex
pense of famine-stricken provinces,
and great masses of population suf
fering from all kinds of oppression.
He is. however, in good condition

are prosperous; his American and
English subordinates have shown
themselves to bo competent explor
ers, engineers, and territorial Gov
ernors ; ami he deserves and will have,
notwithstanding his many faults, the
encouragement, of the civilized word.
His schemes of conquest cannot fail
to have a good result. They will lead
to the development of an immense
territory, aud bring a barbarous pop

Keely’* Own Account of Ills Marvellous
Invent lon.
Prom an futervfew lu tile Inler-Oeean.J
Mr. Keely It’s most wonderful. A
most woddorful tiling. 1 can hardly
myself see how it was I came to dis
cover it. It. seemed to burst right
upon me. No amount, of study could
have produced it. It is purely a dis
covery.
Reporter—And it was made while
simply experimenting with water?
Mr. Keely Yes. There was no fire
about, and I had no chemicals of any
kind.
Reporter What does it seem to be?
Mr. Keely It is simply a vapor of
so Hue an order that it. will penetrate
metal. It is lighter than hydrogen,
and more powerful than steam or
| any explosives known. When it
ooines in contact with the air it al
most instantaneously disappears. If
there is a large quantity lot out into
j tin- uir suddenly it seems to draw tho
atmosphere toward it us if a vacuum
iiml been produced. I remember on
I one occasion I put too great pressure
|in the receiver, and it exploded,
throwing tho pieces and a largo sized
stop cock up through the ceiling.
My breath, it secnul, was taken for
the moment.
Reporter- Mr. Keely, will you state
j some of your experience witli the
| machine you now have,-or the one
you have been experimenting with?
Mr. Keely Well, I liurdly kuuw
how to begin. It would take a week
to tell you all it has done. At, first I
experimented with small ohjoots.
Gradually Increasing the pressure, I
found this vapor was capable of ex
erting power infinitely. You must
remember that it takes nothing hut
uir and water to do this, and very lit
tle or the latter. As an instance of
this I will state that I once drove an
engine mukiug .800 revolutions a
minute, of forty-horse power, with
less than a thimbleful of water, and
kept it running fifteen days with the
same water by dissipating tho vapor
as fast, as used. Tho va|lor is exceed
ingly line. In due time I produced a
pressure of about 28,000 pounds to tho
square inch in a shell ( the receiver!
which had a capacity of a gallon and
a half, 3i inches thick. Thy pressure
was so great, that the vapor passed
through the three inches and a half of
metal, and formed a damp circle On
tho Hour, with a radius or t breo feet.
I used a half pint of water. On all
ot,tier occasion, in company witli sev
eral utiiera, J experimented with a
gun. The target was a fourduoh
plunk, placed against a steel (date.
The best Government powder drove
a ball through the plank. The dia
| tanee was about eight feet. My va
: por threw the ball with suck tremend
ous force that, it, went through tho
| plank and steel, tearing the bullet in
shreds.
Reporter Would it he serviceable
in the army?
Mr. Keely- Oh yes. All that would
be needed is a small iron receiver,
about the size of an orange, attached
to the gun: The flower would last
through the longest battle. -We shot
forty-three rounds in this instance,
j and there was no apparent diminu
tion in the force.
Reporter How about, tho Pullman
| ears, Mr. Keely?
Mr. Keely—Well, I propose in
about six months to run n train of
I thirty cars from here to New York,
at the rate of a mile a minute, with
one small engine. And I will draw
the power all out of as much water
as you can hold in the palm of your
hand. Why, people have no idea of
tho power in water, I mean that can
be drawn outof it. A bucket of water
contains enough of this vapor to pro
duce a power sufficient to move the
world out of its course. An ordinary
steamship can he run so fast with it
that it would be split in two. Dur
ing the Centennial we propose to run
a ' train of three curs around the
grounds all the time, and a large
purt of the machinery. The vapor,
too, is capable of causing much
amusement. I have time and again
created art illcial snow storms in rnyi
shop. This can be produced witli no
labor or trouble. The tube through
which the vapor passes is frequently
covered with ieo on the exterior, al
t hough tho passage for the vapor is
not larger than a needle. You could
not hold your hand on it without be
ing frozen.

IMPORTANT CABINET MEETING—OUR RE
LATIONS WITH VENEZUELA.
Washington, July 14. Tho subject
of our relations with Venezuela was
laid before tho counsel of Socrotary
Fish yesterday, who road the latest
communications from our minister
to that country and stated the gen
eral facts in tho ease.
It. may bo recollected that In De
cember, 1872, the President an
nounced that the Government of
Venezuela had made no further pay
ments on account of tho awards un
der tho convention of 18(11, and ex
pressed tho hopo that it would lose
no' time in providing for the unpaid
balances of its debt to the United
States, which, having originated in
injuries to our citizens by Venezuela
authorities, and having been ac
knowledged pursuant to a treaty in
the most solemn form among tho
nations, would, the President said,
seem to deserve u preference over
other debts of a different origin, con
tracted in a different manner, and he
recommended this subject to the at
tention of Congress for such action
as might bo deemed proper.
In pursuance of this recommenda
tion Congress, in a joint resolution,
expressed its sense in regard to
awards of the joint commission un
der the convention, and the Veneu
zuola government was furnished with
a copy of the resolution which ex
cluded all doubt of the earnestness
of our Government In its demand for
tho payment of tho amount duo, but
there was no satisfactory response
on tho part of Venozuola. In 1873 tho
President, in his annual messugo to
Congress, said it is apprehended that
tho Government does not realize the
character of its obligation under that
convention. As there is reason to be
lieve, however, that its hesitancy in
recognizing them springs, in part at
least, from real difficulty in discour
aging him in connection with Its ob
ligation to other Governments, the
oxpodieneey of further forbearance
on our part is believed to be worthy
of your consideration. Since then our
minister to Venezuela has been re
peatedly instructed to urge the pay
ment of the deferred installments,
until at last the Venezuela Govern
ment has expressed a disposition to do
so, but claims the special privilege of
designating the particular parties to
whom tho monoy shall be paid. To
this our Government will not consent,
the proposition, apart from other
considerations, being contrary to the
terms of the Convention. Tlio Vene
zuela Government will be informed
of the rejection of its proposition and
unless the money shall be paid as
tho stipulation requires, our Minis
ters to Venezuela will be probably
withdrawn.
An extraordinary council of Cabi
net mombers having been called by
Secretary Fish, they met yesterday at
the Department of State, continuing
in session about tlirco hours. All
were present exeeptiSecretnry Belk

A PORTION OF A HOTEL FALLS, KILLING
TWO AND IN.IURINO THE SAME
NUMBER OF PERSONS.
Lynchburg, Va., July 14.—This
morning, about four half of
the rear portion of the City Hotel,
formerly tho Union Hotel, four stories
high, fell from tlio roof down, with a
terrible crash, burying in the ruins
Mrs. Brown, sister of L. F. Luoado;
T. E. Harris, merchandise broker; n
negro man and child.
Tho alarm was sounded at once,
and the Hook and Ladder Depart
ment were soon on the spot and hard
at work.
Tho negro man was first rescuod,
considerably bruised. His escape
from instant death is simply miracu
lous. The next was Mr. Harris, the
extent of whose injuries will not bo
known until reaction takes place.
Ho was in tho third story. Mrs.
Brown and tho negro child were kill
ed outright.
Tlio building was occupied as a
boarding house, F. M. Hiokens, pro
prietor.
A complete wreck was made of half
of the rear of the building. The cause
of tho disaster was the outside wall
crumbling, being a most miserably
constructed affair of machine pressed
brick.
The disaster caused the most intonso
excitement. Crowds hava lined the
sidewalk around the building all
day. Mrs. Brown wus killed instant
ly, having rooeivod a crushing blow
on tho temple. Mr. Harris was
badly Injured, but supposed not
fatally, he being saved by his mat
tress protecting him from tho heavy
timbers. The negro child was not
found until this afternoon; when
found it. was mashed nearly past
recognition. Everyone has loft the
building, as the remaining portion is
now considered extremely dangerous.
Had the disaster occurred during
meal time it would have killed every
boarder, as the dining room was
completely demolished.
Loss estimated near $2,000 ia furni

MALARIA!
Read, Reflect and Act.
If one Krain of Vaccine Virus, taken from the
cow's udder aud kept dry for years, then raoie
teuod, aud the keeuet point of a Lancet dipped
in it and drawn gently on the arm, so as not to
draw tho blood, will bo impregnate aud change
tho entire Hyatem as to prevent tho party bo vac
cinated from taking tho most loathsome of dis*
oases (small pox) for au entire life; again, if the
Celebrated Eucalyptus tree will change an unin
habitable malarial district into a healthy, s4u
brious clime, by simply absorbing from the at
mosphere tho poison malaria, why will not tho
proper remedy, properly applied, neutralize and
destroy tlio poison, known as malaria, and thus
enable parties to inhabit malarial districts with
impunity?
We claim that there is such a remedy, and that
wo have prepared it, aud applied it, and proved
it iu our Anti-malarial or Eucbywial Relt—aud
that persons who will wear this Belt may inhabit
the worst malarial districts without the fear of
having any diseases arising from malaria; snch as
Chills and Fever, Billious or Intermittent Fever,
Yellow Fever, Jaundico, Enlarged Liver aud
Spleen, Indigestion, Constipation and Hem
orrhoids, aud that it will cure all tho abovo dis
eases, except the worst cases of Billious and Yel
low Fever.
This is called an Anti-malarial or Eucbymial
Belt, as it corrects the humors of the uody and
produces a healthy action, invigorating the sys
tem, aud thus euabliug it to per.orm its various
duties without fearing tho effects of maiaria iu
the least.
It has been tried iu thousands of cases without
a failure.
They can bo obtained from the proprietors in
any quantity at the Powell Building, Junction of
Broad and Peachtree streets, Atlanta, Ua.
Price for a single Belt $3, or $5 with a guaran
tee that it will cure or the money refunded.
N.B.— None genuine without the trade mark
is stumped upon them.

Messrs. Love k Willson: Gentlemen—ln April
last I was taken sick with regular Fever aud
Ague, having it every alternate day. After it had
run on mo for two weeks, I was induced to try
ono of your Anti-malarial belts; so I discarded all
medicine, aud simply wore ono of your Belts, us
directed, aud my Ague became lighter each sue
cessive time thereafter for sorao three or four
times, when it left me entirely, with a good appe
tite and clear skin; and in future, if I should ever
have a Chill or Ague, I would want one of your Pads,
and no physic. Wishing everybody that may be
so unfortunate as to have Chills and Fever may
be fortunate enough to get one of your Belts,
I am, respectfully, etc.,

On the first day of December last I was taken
with Chills and Fever in Thomasvillo, Bouthwes

eminent physicians who were able to stop it only
for a few days at a time. It made such inroads
on my constitution that my physician pronoun
ced me to be in the first stages of consumption,
wh on I accidentally met up with Drs. Love ii Will

me. 1 have had but one chill since, and that was
the first day after putting it on. lam now iu as
good health as I ever was in my liie, and think
