GLORY FOR GOMEZ. Meets and Defeats a Spanish Army 2,000 Strong. New York, March 18—A Sun} dispatch from Havana says a battle has been fought at Sabana, near Sancti Spiritus, between the forces of Gen. Gomez and a Spanish col- ump, 2,000 strong. The Spanish official report of the battle giyes no details, but the report is current that the Spaniards suffered a terrible defeat. The news has created a great sensation. The Governor of Havana, Senor Porrua, bas been called to Madrid at the request of Gen. Weyler. In Havana it is admitted that the expedition of Gen. Roloff landed in Pinar del Rio with 8,000 guns and ammunition, and then the steamer started for some other part of the island. Havana, March 18 --On the night of the 5th,1 a. m, the insurgents, after taking possession of Paredes, attacked the railroad station, which had been convereted into a fort and protected by a detachment comand ed by Capt. Huertas. The insur- gents fired from all sides, thrusting their guns into the very loop holes of the fort. The Spanish were forced to aban- don the fort, leaving their dead and wounded with their arms and ammu- nition. Only a few volunteers man- aged to escape. A Sergeant and 23 soldiers were killed. The Captain and 15 soldiers were ser‘ously wound ed. Waile this was taking place at the station fort, another party of insur- gents attacked another fort named Fiel at the extremity of the town. The garrison,composed of a Sergeant and 35 soldiers, was soon overpow- ered. All perished except one. who was carried away prisoner. All the licious, nutritior tow Labeis. package. (CUUNTY REVENUE LAW. for Proportionate Division of Taxes K. C. Jounal. Jefferson, City, Mo., March 18.— The House passed today the Senate bill amending the law relating to county revenue The principal pro- vision of the bill is as follows: In all counties in this state which have now, or hereafter adopt, town- ship organization, 1f the amount ot revenue desired and estimated by the county court for county purposes, and the amount desired and estimat- ed by any township board for town- ship board for township purposes, shall together exceed the rate per cent on the $100 valuation allowed by section 11 of article 10 of the constitution of Missouri, ‘for county purposes,’ then it shall be the duty of the county court to apportion the tax ‘for county purposes’ between the county organization and the township organization in the follow- ing manner, to-wit: Eighty per cent of the taxes which may be legaily levied ‘for county purposes’ shall be apportioned to county organization for county purposes, and 20 per cent of such taxes shall be apportioned to the township organization for the purposes provided by section 8477 arms and ammunition was captured and the fort destroyed. The Cubans were commanded by Jose Miguel Gomez. It is said three were killed in the attack. What use is there in eating when food does you no good-in fact, when it does you more harm than good, for such is the case if it is not di- gested? If you have a loathing for food there is no use forcing it down, for it will not be digested. You must restore the digestive organs to their natural strength and cause the food to be digested, when an appetite will come, and with it a relish for food: The tired, languid feeling will give place to vigor and energy; then you will put flesh on your bones and be- come strong. The Shaker Digestive Cordial as made by the Mount Leb- anon Shakers contains food already digested and isa digester of foods as well. Its action is prompt and its effects permanent. Doctors prescribe Laxol because it has all the virtues of Costor Oil and is palatable. FREIGHT RATE BILL DEAD. Missouri Senate Kills Two Railroad Bills With One Stone. Jefferson City, Mo., March 18.— It has been evident for some time that the Senate did not intend to pass the Farris freight bill or the 2- cent passenger bill, and it was a surprise tono one when the senate this afternoon took up the freight bill and killed it. This bill provides fora reduction of 25 per ceut on what are what are now legal rates on live stock and farm products. These rates were established in 1875, and railroad men say that since that time freight rates have been reduced 50 per cent, and that instead of provid- ing fora reduction the bill really raised the rates about 25 per cent. The railroad men,+ however. know that the board of railroad commis- sioners would never allow the rates to be raised, and they would rather have the legal rate as it is now, so they were opposed to the bill. The senate has been engaged on the appropriation bill all day and it was late this afternoon when the bill came up for consideration. There was a lively discussion, although it was a foregone conclusion that the bill would not pass. Senators Brew- ster, Powers, Goodykoontz and others spoke against the bill and! Senators Majors and Childers~de,| fended it Finally Senator Brewster | moved that the bill be indefinitely postponed and the motion carried by &@ vote of 21 to 11. = of the township organization law,as specified by the township board; but the combined rate for both the coun- ty and township organizations shall not exceed the maximum rate pro- vided by the constitution.” SCASTORIA. ‘The fac- simile is ca of LDH fe Wrapper.

He wasacarpenter by trade and an old soldier. He was a memter of the Alexander expedition, sent to Salt Lake City to force Brig- ham Young to yacate his office and allow the successor whom President Buchanan had appointed to take his seat. Parshall was the driver of one of the ammunition wagons, and with j his own hands burst open an iron gate which was preventing the en- trance of the army into the Mor mons’ capital. He was also one of the six men who disposed of the body of John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Abra ham Lincoln. Parshall attended the perforimauce at Ford’s theater, saw fatal shot fired and was one of the soldie:s who pursued the assassin throuzh the wings to the stage door. When the murderer was finally shot and taken, Parshall was one of the six men deputed to dispose of his remains in such a manner that the secret of their resting place should never be known. They were sworn never to reveal their secret. Parshall was the fifth, so far as known of the men to die, and he has steadfastly kept his oath.

Jefferson City, Mo, March 15 -— | The Senate to day increased the ap- | | propriation for the State University | from $90,000 to $100,000. It also! raised the appropriation for the St. | Louis asylum from $20,000 to $40, 000. There was a lively scene on | the floor during the discussion of | the University appropriation. Sena. | tor Lyons of Kansas City opposed the increase, and Senator Anderson excitedly stated that the Senator, from Kaneas City was not represent ing his constituents. Lyors replied that he had tolerat ed more upon the floor of the Senate than he had ever taken from anyone in private life, and that he wanted it understood that he did not propose to stand it any longer. He said that if any Senator in the future said he was not representing his constituents he would be telling what was not so, and that he would so inform him. Anderson was very angry and jumped to his feet to make a heated reply. Senator Kline, who sat next to him, knowing that there is bad feeling between Lyons and Ander- son, and wishing to prevent a scene, grabbed Senator Anderson and pull- ed him down into his seat. Senator Peers, who was in the chair rapped with his gavel until no one could be heard, and the scene came to an end. WAR THE WAY OUT. War on Turkey the Only Course Left to Greece.—Two Armies Facing Each Other on the Frontier. Athens, March 17.—A declaration of war by Greece against Turkey seems to be the only way out of the meshes the powers have thrown about the little kingdom. The gen- eral belief here is that this step will be taken without delay—possibly before the close of the day. | Ata prolonged meeting of the) Cabinet, the Ministers discussed at! great length the attitude tu be taken in the event of the powes attempting to coerce Greece into compliance with their demands. It is stated that no disposition was shown to accede to ihe demands and that it was finally decided to| take “active measures” as the only possible solution of the difficulty. “Active measures” can only mean a declaration of war against Turkey, which would give the right to Greece to maintain her army in Crete and deprive the powers of any right of interference.

The so-called Spring Medicines for the blood are also bad because they pretend to cure all diseases with one combination of medicines.

Where Colds are compli- cated by a Cough, the Cold Cure should be al- ternated with Munyon’s Cough cure. “*The debilitated condition which affects many people in the Spring season is Nature’s warning that some organ is weak and often precedes ser- ious disease.
