r ryrlglH by the Associated Press. -
HKRLIN. Ju.ie IS.— Emperor Wil
li.>m's sentiments in regard to the war
between Spain and the United States
h.i\v considerably changed during the
!>::>-i DOCjth. A member of his majes
ty's entourage informs the correspond
»,:t cf the Associated Press that the
persistent statements of the American
: British press, "oft coupled with
Irstriting comment, alleging the em
>;vn.r intends to actively interfere in
i>, half of Spain, and Imputing to his
majesty Bentiments that were actually
■ i^n to him at the opening ©t hos
tilities," have greatfy annoyed the cm
l . ■!•• r. and the constant reiteration of
the erroneous statements as to Ger
many's attitude being unfriendly to
the United Suites have displeased Em
peror William exceedingly. The infor
mant of the correspondent of the As
sociated Press continued:
LIMIT TO PATIENCE.
"After the repeated assurances
which our government has given of its
i'.'ention to maintain the most strict
Lnd n-.ost loyal neutrality, and his
majesty's brief but pointed declaration
to the same effect in the speech from
the th-one at the closing of the reieh
f-tag, in which he testified to the un
broken friendship between the two
countries, it is downright folly to speak
of Germany's ulterior motives in con
nection with the war. There has not
been a single act or woid of the gov
ernment which could be construed
unfriendly to the United States, nor
'.has the government any such intention
In the future. It is diih'cult to under
stand the train of reasoning by which
the Americans conclude that either the
emperor or the government is un
friendly to them. Either as a nation
rr a a belligerent, Germany has al
ways k. pt faith in politics and in
diplomacy. Why then this studied at
tempt of the American and British
press to construe every act as an un
friendly rtep?
•"Naturally th 1 government and the
emperor an much annoyed at the sel
ffh grounds chi-.rged. Patience is a
%irtue, but thero is a limit to it."
PRESS UTTERANCES.
In contrast to the above official ut
terance there are a variety of Indica-
k tions in regard to the Philippine isl
ni.ds. The officials of the foreign of
fice say Germany's strong naval dis
play nt Manila is made merely to pro
tut German subjects, and a part cf
the prv.-s adopts the same attitude,
basing it upon the foreign office state
ment, saying that the "imputation
that Germany meant to interfere in the
cperatit^* or American occupation or
the Philippine islands is baseless, as
Germany's naval force there is alto
gether too Email for such a purpose."
Ntvei thf\< ss many editorials are
- couched in quite a different tone and
Bi.irlt. For Instance, the Marine Polit-
Ische- Corresponded, which has clo3e
relations with the government, says it
expects the concentration of the Ger
man forcts will h?.ve "permanent re
sun^" and advocates Germany obtain
ing "from the republic of the Philip
pines a point d'appui similar to the
German base of operations at Kiau
Chaq bay."
9 The Bossische Zeitung says:
"The presence of a powerful interna
tional fleet at Manila means, not only
the protection of the European popula
tion, but the protection of the inter
ests of the powers which have to safa
fruard their advantages and prevent in
jury_ja their Intt rests acquired in the
past, especially in the event of the Phil
ippines being torn from Spain, Ger
many, Russia, France, England and
Japan will not supinoly submit to e:-:e
the future of the Philippines led into
,the new paths, nor will they relinquish
t"he right to co-operate in such a new
grouping of interests."
FUTURE POSSIBILITIES.
The Kreuz Zeitung, the main Con
servative organ and a paper which 13
closely In touch with the government,
after claiming the United States can
r.ot possibly want the Philippine isl
ands, says:
"This will naturally result in the
•Philippine islands oeing restored to
Spain by the Americans. But, it is, of
course, doubtful whether at the close
of the war Spain will be strong enough
to keep any colony, and it is also doubt
ful if the Islands will be able to govern
themselves. So in any case there will
be difficulties, the nnai outcome of
which it is impossible to' foresee."
Generally speaking the German news
!•':, _.s continue their unfriendly tone
towards America, though they are
somewhat more cautious. All the re
cent news from Cuba and the Philip
pine islands is interpreted as being un
favorable to- the United States, and the
Guantanamo bay affair is dubbed a de
feat unqualifiedly.

bUKE HANDS
FOR EIGHT YEARS
Pain So Intense Would Nearly
Twist Fingers from Sockets.
Puffed Up Like a Toad.
Water Ran Through Bandages to
Floor. Had to Walk the Floor
Until Would Fall Asleep.
Fingers Peeled Like an Onion.
Doctors Could Not Cure,
Cured By Cutioura.
About eight years ago I got sore hands, it
commenced with a kind of a burning* sensa
tion on my finders and on top of the hand.
When I commenced to rub them, you could
see little white pimples on the skin. I rubbed
more and more, until I felt like twisting my
fingers out of their sockets. I had high
fever, and cold chiils ran over me, and so I
kept It going until I was tired out. Nights, I
had to walk the floor until I fell asleep.
My hands peeled like an onion, tlie finger
nails got loose in the roots, and the water ran
out, and wherever there was a little pimple,
there the burning fire was, and I tell you and
can peeve to you, that happened at least ten
times. Daring the day, l had to attend to my
business, for I am running a blacksmith shop,
horseshoeing, and 1 would not shut up the
Shop for anybody, but it was hard. My handa
puffed up worse than a toad. When I drove
horse nails, the water from my hands ran
through the bandage, on to the floor. My
customers refused to look at my hands. I had
a friend to take me to the doctor; he gave a
solution of something to bathe my hands
with. I was working every day, ami did not
know what to do so I went to another doctor,
i think for a year. I found your advertise
ment in a Utica newspaper, and I got the Co
ne craßesolv ext and Citioura Soap. The
nails hardened up and peeled off and I don't
believe there is one of the first nails left on
my hands. WTiat I have told you is true. I
do this for your benefit and humanity's sake.
I would not suffer any more as I did, for the

HAWAIIAN TEST VOTE.
It May Come to the Senate on slon_
day.
WASHINGTON, June 18.— The Ha
waiian resolutions are to be called up
in the senate Monday. No definite plan
has been adopted by either side regard
ing the character of the fight to_ be
made for or asainst. the proposition.
The advocates of annexation are sorne
v. hat doubtful of success, owing to itha
difficulties they anticipate in maintain
ing the quorum, if a long discussion is
threatened. The opponents, on the
other hand, realize that if the majority
determine to pu-t the resolution through
at this sess'on, they will succeed. Ea:h
side is, therefore, eyeing the other
somewhat doubtfully, and won<3ering-4f
the result will be. worth the conflict.
The committee on foreign relations will
call for the ay c s and noes on the ques
tion of consideration Monday. This will
g'.ve them a tent vote, which will, they
think, be very useful as an indication
of the strength of the measure and
rr>ight be a guido to the president in
case the senate should be compelled to
acjourn finally witttffut action.
VETERANS PREFERRED
In a Bill Reported Favorably by
Tawney.
■WASHINGTON, June 18.—Represent
ative Tawney today reported favorably
on a bill that will be of interest to the
veterans of the late war. The bill pro
vides that all honorably discharged
men who served in the war shall be
preferred in making appointments to
any branch of government service. The
report says the bill is intended to
change the existing law or regulation,
which provides that persons who have
incurred disabilities shall be preferred
to provide that any person who served
during the entire war shall be pre
ferred, even though he incurred no
permanent disability, during the service.
Under the present construction of the
law, persons who served only one
month, says the report, and who in
curred a disability, are appointed to
positions, and this is injustice to those
who suffered the hardships of the en
tire war without incurring disability.

■SPANISH OBJECTIONS ANSWERED
The friendly attitude of the Hawaiian
government toward tihe United States
and their expeditionary forces has dis
turbed the Spanish officials, and on
June 1 Vice Consul Renjes addressed
the following note to H. E. Cooper,
Hawaiian minister of foreign affairs:
"Sir — In my capacity as vice-consul for
Spain I have the honor today to enter a
formal protest with the Hawaiian govern
ment against the constant violations of neu
trality in this harbor, while actual war exls'u
between Spain and the United States of
America.
"Requesting you to acknowledge the receipt
of this communication I have the honor to
be, sir, — "H. Renjes,
"Vice Consul for Spain."
The reply of the government, which
is now in Mr. Renjes' hands, is as fol
lows:
"Sir— ln reply to your note of the first in
stant I have the honor to say that, owing to
the intimate relations now existing between
this country and the United States, this gov
ernment has not proclaimed a proclamation
of neutrality, having reference to the present
conflict between the United Sta.'es and Spain
but on the contrary has tendered to" the
Limed States privileges and assistance, for
which reason your protest can receive no
further consideration than to acknowledge its
receipt."

RETEME COLLECTORS.
Eight Places at the Disposal of
North-west Senators.
WASHINGTON, June 18.—Commis
sioner Scott has begun to make selec
tions for special deputy collectors of
internal revenue to administer the war
revenue law. He has in many In
stances selected men from one state for
duty in another, and has thereby clash
ed with members who think the pat
ronage should go to their states. It Is
said that these places will be at the
disposal of senators, although appoint
ments will be made on the recom
mendations of col.ectors of internal rev
enue. So far as can be learned today,
neither senator from Minnesota bas
made recommendations for-places to be
filled in that state. T r here are ejght
deputy collectors to be' appointed, four
regulars, who will serve as long as the
war revenue measure 1 }s a law, and
four temporary deputies,' who will serve
only long enough to set the machinery
of the law In fair operation. For Nort'i
Dakota one regular and one deputy will
be appointed. Senator HanSbroug'h to
day recommended R. M. Stevens, Grand
Forks, to be regular deputy collector,
the temporary appointment to be made
later.
Senator Kyle has taken steps to se
cure the appointment of two deputies
for South Dakota. He has asked Na
tional Committeeman; Klttredge to
name the men for these places, and
will make recommendations Monday.
MAYOR HEISEL MAY DIE.
Woo::d Received In Fijjfht With City
Marshal Anhby Probably Fatal.
BRUNSWICK, Mo., June 18. — De
tails of last night's tragedy, in which
Mayor J. H. Heisel shot and killed
Richard Ashby, the city marshal, who
•dn turn fatally wounded the mayor,
are coming to light.
W. J. Heisel, brother of the mayor,
was standing in a saloon when Marshal
Ashby and his son, Joseph Ashby, en
tered. Both grabbed Heisel and began
beating him with their fists, Joseph
claiming that Heisel had beaten and
choked one of his sisters. Marshal
And it was into the thick of this flesh-tear
ing vegetation that our naked marines
rushed to attack the Spaniards when the
Mauser bullets whistled around Camp Mc-
Calla while some of its occupants were bath
ing in the bay.
Ashby had a revolver In his hand.
W. J. Heisel finally broke loose from
the Ashbys and ran out of the saloon.
Mayor Heisel, who was present, then
took a hand in the fracas. The mayor
and the marshal began firing at each
other. At the coroner's inquest today
the evidence did not show who fired
the first shot, but it was testified that
Ashby fired last, just as he fell dying.
Heisel, with assistance, walked to his
room in the same block, but today he
is not expected to recover, as one shot
passed through his left lung, and the
other through the abdomen.
Serious Fire In Grand Rapids.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., June IS.— Fire this

the plant of the Grand Rapids Desk company
and the Hake Manufacturing company. The
loss of the desk factory will be $59,000, with
$35,000 insurance; on the Hake Manufactur

THE ILLS OF WOMEN.
Painful Periods, Weakening Bin

Displacements.
Ruoh women should write Dr. Hart

Pe*ru-na. Female disease is but an
other name for pelvic catarrh. Pe-ru
na is a specific for pelvic catarrh.
Mr. Philip Kraus, El Campo, Tex.,
says: "My daughter was taken sudden-
]y ill, and, on
consulting- our
family doctor,
he said 'she had
falling of the

"Some days she

after three months' treatment the do •

Fifteen Thousand Cabana— Gen.
Gen. Gomel Wolunded.
NEW YORK, June 18.— Oapt. Raefel
Conte, of the Cuban army, has arrived
at the headquarters of the Cuban junta
in this city with dispatches from Gen.
Gomez. He was accompanied by a lieu
"tenant of the "army of liberation."
Capt. Conte and his companion left Go
mez in Las Vilas. The general then
had with him a body guard of only
sixty men — a cavalry escort. There
was little food in the region where Go
mez was making his headquarters^ so
he did not mass any large number of
men there, but had them extended over
a large section of country and directed
their movements from headquarters.
He has all the necessary arrangements
for the concentration of the troops
when the proper times comes, but keeps
them . scattered and employed in a
guerilla warfare in the meantime, bo
that they may find food. The captain
claims that Gomez can concentrate
30,000 armed men in a short time at any
place where it is desired. Seven thou
sand more men are attached to Gomez's
army and are only waiting for arms
to be available for defensive or offen
sive operations.
GOMEZ WOUNDED.
In a skirmish with guerillas about
three weeks ago Gomez was wounded
in the left arm by a Mauser bullet.
The wound healed quickly, however, in
spite of the general's advanced age,
and when the captain left camp the
old chief was able to use his limb
about as well as eve^r.
When they left camp the envoys made
their way to the seacoast, living on
sweet potatoes and fruit which they
found on the way. For two days they
were without food at all. Finally they
reached the sea coast between Matan
zas and Cardenas and were taken by
a fishing "boat to a small cave until a
vessel of the blockading fleet was re
ported, when they put off in a row
boat and were picked up six miles off
the coast. The vessel which picked
them up was the tug Osceola, Capt.
Purcell. The Osceola is one of the aux
iliary fleet. They were nearly naked
and nearly famished when they were
taken aboard the Osceola. but the offi
cers of the vessel supplied them with
food and clothing and carried them into
Key West. From there they came on
at once to this city with their dis
patches.
WANTS ARMS AND FOOD.
Gomez is now especially desirous of
receiving arms and food. It is under
stood that a definite plan for the con
centration of troops under Gomez with
the United States troops when the time
for such operation arrives has been ar
ranged between the general and the.
war department at Washington. Mean
while Gomez will keep his forces scat
tered.
Capt. Conte said that from informa
tion received by Gomez's scouts it is
known that in all the garrisoned towns
sickness is making great ravages
among the troops. Medicines is so
scarce that the proper medical atten
tion cannot be furnished and the num
ber of sick increases every day. The
coal supply in "Havana is almost ex
hausted and what there Is left has been
taken in charge' by Blanco, who has
his officers supervise consumption. The
electric light company recently re
ceived orders to shut off their dynamos
at 9 o'clock so that coal might be
husbanded. After the hour at which
the electric lights shut down, Havana
is now in darkness.
WOLFS COMET.
Prof. Hnffey With the Lick Tele
scope FindM the Periodic Vlnitor.
LICK OBSERVATORY, Mount Ham
ilton, Cal., June 18.— Wolf's periodic
comet has been found by Prof. W. J.
Huffey, with the thirty-six-inch tele
scope. It was close to its predicted
place and was found instantly. No at
tempt has as yet been made here to
observe it. The measurement of its
position was obtained. The comet was
seen without difficulty with_the thirty
six-inch refractor. It has a central
condestatinn and a port tail not more
than one and one-half minutes long.
The comet was first discovered by Max
Wolf, of Heidelberg, in 1884, and was
rediscovered by Spitaler in Vienna, in
1&J1. Its period is about seven years.
QTJINN'S REMOVAL REQUESTED.
Engineer Formerly Stationed at
Dulntli Is Unpopular.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 18.— The
president has been asked to make a
change In the officer of engineers in
charge of the river and harbor works
at and near New Orleans. Maj. J. B.
Quinn, corps of engineers, formerly
stationed at Duluth, is now in charge
of that work. His transfer to another
field is asked for as a result of a race
quarrel over the government work on
Forts Jackson and St. Philip. At first
white labor was exclusively employed
on this worlt Recently, however, Maj.
Quinn employed a few colored men,
and all the white men stopped work.
The white labor organizations protest
ed against the employment of the col
ored men, and the legislature took up
the matter and adopted a resolution
requesting the president to remove Maj.
Quinn, on'the ground that he has stir
red up race trouble and is delaying im
portant government works.
GEN. LEE'S CORPS.
Early -Concentration at Jackson
ville Expected.
JACKSONVILLE, June 18.— Th2 con
centration .of Fitzhugh Lee's Seventh
corps at Jacksonville is to begin at
once. The Second division of this corps
is now complete as to organization. Six
regiments of the first division, now ;-.t
Tampa, are to be brought to Camp
Cuba Libre, their arrival being expect
ed next week. These regiments are the
Third and Fifth Ohio, Thirty-second
Michigan, First Florida, Sixty-ninth
New York and the Second Georgia.
Three other regiments may be expect
ed here to complete the first division,
and it is believed that the formation
of the Third division will soon begin.
The interpretation of this movement
and its possible bearing upon the pro
posed expedition to Porto Rico or upon
co-operation with Gen. Shafter in Cubi
must be left to those who can read be
tween the lines. It can be said that
Gen. Lee, who chafes for action, is very
happy.

NEW MONITORS.
They Will He Single Turret Affairs
Under the Plans.
WASHINGTON, June 18.— Final ap
proval has been given to designs for
four monitors on which bids will be in
vited in"a few days. Two turrets would
be placed on each vessel mounting four
guns, but for the limit of the appro
priation which renders it impracticable
on the displacement allowed to get
more than one turret on the ships.
This is to be placed forward, and .will
have a radius of action so that the
guns may be trained well aft on either
side. The monitors will be 400 tons, a
greater displacement than was at first
agreed to, and, loaded with equipments
and coal, are expected to displace about
2,800 tons. Their draught will not ex
ceed twelve feet, and highest rate of
speed will be twelve knots. They are
to be delivered to the government in
less than eighteen months.

the call for Red Cross assistance th?

Key West. No nurses accompanied
them, but several of those first on the
books of acceptance and registration in
the New York Red Cross hospital will
be selected and sent for at an early
date.

Lesser's last trip to Cuba he has been
experimenting on animals, with pro
phylaxis, for yellow fever, and he had
discovered an absolute preventive. Ask
ed about it yesterday, he would neither
confirm nor deny the statement.

sistants will be amply protected," was
his answer.

UNPOPULAR AT HOME.
Reed'a Otvn County In Convention
Fails to Say a Kind Word.
PORTLAND, Me., June 18. — The
Cumberland county Republican conven
tion ignored Speaker T. B. Reed in his
own home city. It was done with
studied care and not a word of refer
ence was made to him, although he has
represented the district for nearly six
teen years, and hitherto has always
been alluded to with pride and en
thusiasm. This was on account of Mr.
Reed's unpopular stand on the Hawaii
an question, the state being strongly
in favor of annexation. The resolu
tions and speeches eulogized McKinley,
advocated an aggressive foreign pol
icy, an adequate army and navy, but
were absolutely silent regarding the .
speaker.

away about trifiir.er
indispositions. He is too busy making
money. He says he leaves sickness to the
women folks.
That is the way men commit suicide —
tens of thousands of then. A woman can
stand between this danger and her husband!
if she will. A little* watchfulness— a sug
gestion now and then and a little of a good
general remedy always at hand may save
her husband's life. Dr. Pieree's Golden
Medical Discovery is a remarkable remedy
for hard working men and women. In a
certain sense, it is a euro-all, for the reason
that it goes down to bed-rock and cures the
disorders that are responsible for the ma
jority of serious illnesses. It strengthens
the stomach, and makes the appetite keen
and hearty. It invigorates the liver. It
aids the natural processes of secretion and
excretion. It makes the assimilation of
the food perfect. It purifies the blood
and fills it with the life-giving elements
that build new and healthy flesh tissue. It
tones the nerves. It is the great blood
maker and flesh-builder. It cures 98 per
cent, of all cares of laryngial, bronchial"
throat and kindred affections, which, if
neglected, lead up to consumption. It is
also an unfailing remedy for all nervous
disorders. An honest dealer will not urge
a substitute.
" Last winter I took sick with what the doctors
called la grippe," writes Mrs. Sarah Farley of
Fairfax, Atchison Co.. Mo. "Was sick for about
four months and nothing that \ took seemed to
do me ?ny good. My friends thought I had con
sumption. I coughed up blood for a long while
and nearly gave up all hope of ever getting well'
I heard ofDr. Pieree's Goldcu Medical Discovery
aud thought I would try it. I had not finished
the first bottle when I began to get better. I
have taken two bottles of the ' Golden Medical
Discovery ' and one of the ' Favorite Prescrip
tion ' and feel better than ever before in my life?*
