HE CAUSE OF TROUBLE. Why So Many Are Suffering at This ‘Time and What They Should Do. When the weather fs hot you perspire. ‘The peres of the skin are opened, the blood moves quickly through the veins and all impurities are thrown out of the system. But when the weather fs cold the pores are closed; the blood becomes thick and stagnant, it does not elreulate properly and you feel weak and shivery. Most people feel chilly in winter for this reason, and that is why colds and chills are so prevalent. ‘There is, however, one way to keep from feeling these chilly sensations and avoiding the dangers of winter time. Many people have fortunately dis- covered this way, and are giving others the benefit of their experience. F. Weltzer of Newport, Ky., says: “I was very sick Jast winter with grip and pneumonia. I tried many remedies without getting relief until I was persuaded to take Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. The result was that in a few days my aches and pains Jeft me. I commenced to recover at once, and was soon completely restored to healt! J. E. Edwards, Los Angeles, Cal., says: ‘‘About five years ago I took a terrible cold, which settled on my lungs. I suffered continually, and was un- able to sbake it off untii I tried Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey. It soom gave me back health and strength, and effected a eure.” ‘These ‘cases, and thousands of others like them, furnish the best proof that for building up the system and driving of disease Dufy's Pure Malt hiskey is unequaled. Nothing has ever compared with it for stimulating and toning up the whole iy and restoring the health. It shakes and arcuses to action the torpid blood. It promotes aj tite, assimilation. “Taken ring the winter, it is a sure means of preventing coughs, colds, chills and pneumoni: tees xxx weseee $50,000 ¢ WORTH OF Oe TECTT SSCS SSS TSS SS TCO ES TST SDSS SSS SEED : At Cost And on Credit! clearing sale is now at its height.

THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1896¢-TWELVE PAGES. : A CHANGE IN POLICY Harsher Measures to Follow the Departure of Campos. RELENTLESS WAR UPON: THE COBANS Americans in Havana Demand a Warship. STATE OF AFFAIRS SERIOUS genet From The Star’s Special Correspondent. HAVANA, Cuba, January 20.—With the going of Campos.a complete change in the Policy of the goverument is outlined. The queen, the ministry and the people of Spain demanded harsher measures in Cuba, but Campos was unwilling to carry out a plan that could mean nothing else than wholesale crime and butchery. Weyler takes up the civil and military rule of the island knowing full well what is ex- pected of him. He knows that to appease Spain he must wage a relentless war against the Cubans, not alone in the field, but in the cities, towns and villages. It will all be a repetition of the dark and blcody days of the ending year of the last war, and even Spaniards who clamored loudest for the removal of Campos now fear to think of the dire consequences of his going. Cuba has already suffered greatly from the ravages of war, but, unless every sign fails, the worst is yet to come. in the cities suspected revolutionists will be shot and others will be driven from their homes and their properties confiscated. American residents of Havana demand that a United States warship be at once dis- patched to this port, for there is every réa- son to believe that the lives and properties of Americans are in jeopardy. Campos Was Discouraged. It has been told at the palace that the pain of old wounds is so great that the cap- tain general did not feel equal to the proper direction of affairs in the island, and wish- ed to resign his post to some other man. This official version has not been believed by the public in general. On the contrary, @ vast majority of the leading politicians and business men in no way connected directly with the government felt that Gen. Campos was discouraged, and very weary of the entire matter. That he has reason to be, they say, is without doubt. His chief officers in the field seemed to care but little whether the war was brief or long, and car- ried out orders in a half-hearted way. There were several of them with eyes on the post of captain general. In one sense the Cubans here much dis- like to think of Gen. Campos going. While he was the representative of the power that has ground, and is still grinding them down, personally he has had a great attachment for the Cuban people, and the feeling was in a large ‘measure reciprocated. Oa tne other hand, as a prominent revolutionist some time ago said to The Star corres- pondent, if Campos goes and Weyler suc- ceeds him, it will be better for the Cuban cause. It is explained that the comparative- ly pacific policy hitherto maintained would be dropped by his successor, and a reign of terror would be inaugurated that would drive from the cities, and especially Ha- vana, thousands of men who heretofore have been but nominal revolutionists. Weyler and Pando are each remembered from the last war, and are thoroughly feared as well as hated. A Serious State of Affairs. One of the wealthiest bankers and im- porters of Cuba said to The Star corre- spondent: “In all my recollection there was never a time so serious in the history of this island. Business men are almost panic- stricken, and within two weeks a large num- ber of the best Havana houses will be com- Pelled to close their doors. Some of my prominent commercial friends are even get- ting what money they can together and sending It to New York, for they do not know what minute they themselves may be compelled to flee from the country.” Despite the apparent calmness that pre- vails throughout the city of Havana, the situation is more serious than it has been at any time. This is indicated in many ways. Several warships, which have béen along the coast, have come into port and are to remain here. Two nights these ships Kept their search lights in constant use. This fact alone served to create a very deep impression of approaching trouble. Amer- ican and English merchant ships that ar- rived were instructed by their consignees not to discharge their cargoes, and in some instances where the freights have been un- loaded the consignees have had the cargoes teshipped. Collecting the Taxes on Burned Crops The government is experiencing consider- able difficulty in the collection of taxes from the planters. Under Spanish law there is no land tax, the crops alone being made to pay. It is estimated that nearly half of the sugar cane of the island has gone up in smoke, and the planters who have suffered naturally ask why they should be expected to pay a tax on the crop when the latter has been burned. Still the government main- tains that it was not its fault that the cane- fields were destroyed, and says the taxes must be paid. Hundreds of big planters al- ready heavy sufferers, are unable to meet these obligations to the government, and their estates will be sold. Gen. Gomez, with 4,000 cavalry, has been parading about in Havana province, taking each small town he comes to and obtaining a supply of clothing that will last his army for some months to come. Clothing and Equipment. When the insurgents entered the province of Santa Clara hundreds of them were al- most naked, and it was not unusual to see an entire cavalry company attired simply in hats and pants. Shirts or underclothing were out of the question, and shoes were hardly thought of either by the mounted or foot soldiers. The plantation stores of Santa Clara were rich prizes for them, and the appearance of the army greatly im- proved. But the raid into Matanzas and Havana provinces afforded even better re- sults in this line, as well as in some others, and the rebel army now compares very fa- vorably in appearance with the government troops. ‘3 Still the black infantry of Maceo, to the majority of whom shoes are unknown, per- sist In going about barefooted, although THE NEW STIMULANT Makes Strength Without Weakness or Reaction. Stimulation is the increasing of vitality, strength, energy, outpat. Reaction is always the worst part of it. By healthful stimulation we can ald nature to throw off sickness and the results of sickness. We can cure the effects of overwork, mental worry, &c. That is, by stimulation WITHOUT reaction. For instance, the stimulation of MALTED-KOF- FEE-KOLA. The reason there is NO reaction with Malted-Koffee-Kola is that it is a FOOD stimulant. Only a food can give lasting strength. Alcohol fs not a fcod; its effect is not lasting. Malted- Koffee-Kola 1s the Shaker non-alcoholic, non-intoxi- cating fcod stimulant. It is made from the malted seeds of Caffea and Kola. It stimulates like beer, wine, ete., without their harmful reaction. Malted - Koffee- Kola CLEARS the STRENGTHENS the body, RENEWS vitality. When you suffer from nervousness, headache, in- digestion, exbaustion, loss of appetite, lack of am- bition, dizziness, heart failure and the results of overwerk of any kind, you-may know that Malted- Koffee-Kola will 1elieve you; that a few doses will make life worth living; that the reaction of other stimulants will never come. ‘This is the secret of its wonderful success; its success In doing what nothing has ever been able to do before. Sold by druggists at $1.00 a bottle, brain, and burned two streets. Gomez, they were Spanish troops coming from an- other direction (he had ordered his cav- alry to remain away from the town), fired into them and killed a number of his own men. Gomez Sparing Prisoners. In the meantime the volunteers had sur- rendered, and along with a hundred citi- zens, Including the priest, were marched in a body several miles beyond the town’s limits. They all expected to be shot, and pleaded for their lives with the rebel leader. He did not answer them, but reaching a grove had them lined up before his entire arm: 'y- “We will not waste good ammunition upon them,” said Gomez, and then turning to one of his aids he ordered up a thousand cavalrymen with drawn machetes. The prisoners trembled and the priest shed tears and prayed. ‘The rebel horsemen were ready and await- ing an order to machete the entire band, when Gomez rode out before the prisoners. Addressing them, he said: “You heard me Say a few minutes ago that we wonld rot waste ammunition upon you, and you were cowardly enough to beljeye that you would all be put to the machete. But I wish to inform you that we will not dull our weap- ons. As Cubans, fighting under the flag of the oppresscrs of our country, you de- serve death, each and every one of you, the cure not excepted. But you will not be harmed. Go again to your homes, and if you are cowards and traitors, remain at home or join the Spanish ranks again. if you are men and lovers of freedom, take ‘up the cause of blood-and-iron ruled Cuba. Martinez Campos has murdered hundreds of our soldiers whom he has captured, but Maximo Gomez will not have the world be- lieve that under the flag of Cuban lberty barbarous acts are perpetrated.” INSURGENTS GOING EAST. It is Believed Thi They Have Left the Neighborhood of Havana. According to the advices from the front in Cuba,’ Antonio Maceo has passed eastward south of Alquizar, in the province of Ha- vana, pushing on for Guina Melena and Qui- vican, while Maximo Gomez is said to have pushed on eastward to the borders of the Provinces of Havana and Matanzas, ap- parently going in the direction of the swamp jand of the Gran Cienaga, Occidental de Zapata. Col. Molenia has notified the Havana au- thorities that the insurgent bands com- tranded by Nunez, Campote, Alvarez and Collazo, numbering about 1,000 men, are marching in the direction of Guines. If all these reports are correct, the vicinity of Havana should now be pretty well clear of any large force of insurgents, and the lat- ter must be mustering in force south of Ma- tanzas. —_——.___. BROTHERHOOD OF ST. ANDREW. Local Council Ready to Work Under the New Bishop. The first of the bi-monthly mass meet- ings of the local council, Brother of St. Andrew, for the year 1896 was held last evening in St. Stephen’s Church, 14th street, opposite Columbia road. Delegates were in attendance from eighteen of the chapters in the council. The first portion of the evening was devoted to the discus- sion of business, and among the resolutions parsed was one felicitating Bishop Satter- lee on his election to the diocese, and ex- tending to him the best wishes of the brotherhood for success in his new field. Hereafter the office of corresponding sec- retary will have attached to it a small yearly remuneration. The present member holding this position is Rolla P. Currie of Ascension Chapter. It was also decided that the executive committee arrange for a system of intervisitation among the va- rious chapters. This work will have to be on an extended scale, as there are about twenty-seven chapters in the local council ard prospects cf more. One, that of the Gcod Shepherd, was placed on the roll call for the first time last evening. Aftei the business had been disposed of the topics assigned for discussion were then taken up. These were as follows: “Shall the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, through its local council, inaugurate (a) public ser- vices, and (b) establish reading rooms or a brotherhood house?” Both of these ques- tions were debated pro and con at great length. A letter from Mr. John W. Wood, General secretary of the order, was read, and placed some light on the subjects. Mr. Wood gave it as his opinion that it is in- advisable to hold either the public services or establish the reading rooms. He rec- ommended a plan for work among the pen- itentiaries and hospitals, similar to that carried on in New York, and concluded by saying that nothing important should be done until Bishop Satterlee has been con- sulted, especially as the bishop has been informed as to the condition of the broth- erhcod in Washington, and intends to give it his active support when he takes charge of the diocese. Through a resolution emanating from St. Thomae Chapter, the council finally de- cided to hold mid-day services during Lent for all the men of the city, both church going and non-church going. These will be short, not more than half an hour, and it is the intention to secure some particularly attractive speakers to conduct them. As yet it is not decided where to hold them, some being in favor ef Willard Hall and others of a cnurch as the proper place. CGne plan which seemed to meet with ap- proval was that the services should be di- vided so as to suit the convenience of thé departments and business men, and that for this purpose Epiphany and Trinity churches were better located than any oth- ers. The matter was disposed of by the appointment of a committee, consisting of Messrs. Salter of St. John’s Chapter, Evans of St. Thomas’ and Col. Cecil Clay of St. Andrew’s, with full authority to make all arrangements necessary, and announce them to the public as soon as possible. Lent this year begins on the 19th of Feb- ruary, and as the services will occupy the whole of the season, they will extend over @ period of something over a month. Among the clergy present last evening were Revs. W. G. Ware, Robert S. W. Wood, Alexan- der M. Rich, C. Allen Griffith and Rev. Mr. Sontag, rector of Trinity Church, Marl- boro’. : —— RECOGNITION SERVICES. New Pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Recognition services in honor of the new pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, Rev. Granville S. Williams, were held last evening and brought together a very large Proportion of the members of the congre- gation of that church, as well as many visitors, who tock advantage of the oppor- tunity of welcoming the divine to his new charge. Rev. Dr. J. J. Muir presided over the exercises and several other Baptist ministers were seated on the platform, gmong them Rev. Dr. 8. H. Greene, Rev. Dr. C. C, Meador, Rev. Dr. Chas. A. Stake- ly, Rev. E. Hez Swem, Rev. N. C. Naylor and Rev. A. F. Anderson. All these min- isters took part in the ceremonies. Dr. ‘Taylor invoked a blessing on the congrega- tion, Rev. Mr. Anderson read the Scripture lesson and Dr. Meador offered prayer. Dr. Muir spoke feelingly of the late pastor, Rev. Green Clay Smith, and introduced Dr. Greene, who deliverer the address of wel- come to Rev. Mr. Williams. The charge to the church was given by Dr. Stakely, which was briefly responded to by the new pastor. After the Doxology the benediction was pronounced by Rev. E. Hez Swem. The music was specially prepared for the occa- sion under the direction of Gilbert A. Clark. After the services a reception was ten- dered the new pastor and his wife. On be- half of the ladies of the church Dr. Muir presented Mrs. Williams with a handsome bouquet of roses. FOR INDIGESTION Use Horsford’s Acid Phosphate. Dr. 8.

STREET RAILROAD CHANGES Last evening there was a special meet- ing of the South Washington Citizens’ As- sociation held at the hell of the Washing- ton Athletic Club, The minutes of previous meeting contained a report made by Chair- man Maurice Fitsgerald of the committee on improvements, showing the condition of one hundred squares in South Washington, upon many of which there are no improve- ments, and several of which are impass- able. The report included that section east of the James Creek canal, and therefore did not cover the section where the streets end at the banks of the canal. At the next meeting this section will be.reported upon. Last night Mr. Martin was firet called upon for a report, and he told of the condi- tion of affairs at the wharves of Patsy Mann, where dead animals are handled, and at that of the Odorless Excavating Company. He said that there was night soil on the wharves, and also on the ice under the wharf. There were about seven- ty-five barrels of night soil on the scow, he said, and there were no tops on them. In front of Mr. Mann’s place, he sald, there was a scow laden with diseased hides and barrels of tallow. It was also reported that 8 street is fenced near these places, and it was stated that the fence obstructs the street. This fence, President Winters said he had been inform- ed; would be removed upon twenty-four hours’ notice. Mr. Brown sald he thought the report should be referred to the committee on nuis- ances, for, he said, it is the intention of the committee to get rid of these nuisances. The Dispensary Patients. Mr. Bowen, representing his father, who is owner of the building.in which the free dispensary on 4% street is located, de- fended the institution against statements made at the last meeting. He said he thought the dispensary is not a nuisance, ary more than is a drug store, and said the members of the association would be admitted there to inspect it at any time. Members of the association stated that the principal complaint was that the pa- tients congregate on thé sidewalk and not inside the house. If the place is to be car- ried on there, the members thought the pa- tients should be provided for inside. Mr. Oehman complained that the man- ner in which the place is now conducted is calculated to injure business in the neighborhood. Only a few days ago, he said, a little girl came in his store and told about a man there with his face covered with scabs. ad “If they have these cfowds on the side- walk,” said Mr. Miller,.“I think the police should be called uponto make some ar- rests.” ri Street Raitroads. Mr. Prout, chairman ‘of the street rail- road committee, said he, had no formal re- port to make. The question of rapid tran- sit on the Anacostia line was mentioned, and President Winters suggested that the committee ascertain something about the poor car service on M street,- Mr. Brown said he thought the associa- tion should fight for the road which it is intended to construct along South Capitol street and cross the river ferry to Gies- boro’. This charter was amended so that the road should come across the Anacostia bridge. Senator McMillan, chairman of the Senate committee, he said, had looked over the ground, and concluded: that the road could not come across the bridge mentioned. South Capitol street, he thinks, ts the proper route, and this road, he thought, should claim the committee’s attention. Such a road, he said, would uot only open up @ good sec.iion of the county, but will give the citizens of South Washington means of reaching the heart of the city in a few minutes. Mr. Litchfield, speaking of the proposed read, said that 128 teams pass over the Anacostia bridge an hour. This, he thinks, is a good reason why the proposed road cannot use this bridge. The charter and construction of this proposed road, he said, would greatly assist in getting a bridge at che foot of South Capitol street. The Crematory Question. Mr. Prentice offered the form of a peti- tion to Congress, which made the following representations: “That after the destruction by fire of the garbage reduction plant located at the foot of South Capitol street in 1893, your honor- able bodies, by the District appropriation act of August 7, 1894, directed the Commis- sicners of the District of Columbia to make fpecial investigation as respects the best method of collecting and disposing of the garbage and dead animals in the District of Columbia, and authorized them to re- ceive proposals for disposal of the same under the different methods presgnted and report the result of such investigation at the next session; that the Commissioners caused a partial investigation to be made by the health officer and made report on March 2, 1895 (see Senate Misc. Doc. No. 145, 58d Cong., 3d session); that on the same day on which this. report was dated, and without having opportunity to consider that report, your honorable bodies passed the District appropriation act of March 2, 1895, authorizing the Commissioners to en- ter into contract for four years for the col- lection of the garbage and dead aninzals and their disposal by incineration or other- wise. That the last mentioned appropria- tion bill as it passed the House of Repre- sentatives provided that under such con- tract the garbage and dead animals should be incinerated or otherwise disposed of within the limits of the. District of Colum- bia, which restriction was stricken out in the Senate, thus affirming the spirit and intent of former legislation, that this of- fensive matter should be removed beyond the more densely populated sections of the District, and even into an adjoining state. “That the said Commissioners have en- tered into such a contract for the collection and cremation of the garbage and dead animals and at the instance of the contrac- tor have approved the old site at the foot of South Capitol street for a crematory against the spirit and intent of the legisla- tion by your honorable bodies, contrary to the health regulations and, building regula- ticns (both of which havejthe force of law by virtue of authority from Congress), against the strenuoug objections and pro- tests of the people of South Washington and contrary to the will and desire of the public generally and public press. “That the justification qlaimed for such action by the Commigsioners is the assur- ance by the contractar that the crematory will be inoffensive and non-odorous. The same assurance was given|in regard to the former reduction plant, and the objections and opposition of our people thereby auiea yet that reduction plant soon proved itsel: @ npisance, destructive of our health and the value of our property: If the crema- tory be permitted to operate in our midst we will be subjected to the annoyance and danger of noxious and offensive odors from the aggregation of garbage and dead ani- OR.CHASES Blood»Nerve Food Wee aun For Weak and Run-Down People from Childhood to Old Age.

Shea, chairman; Charles Shaffer, Jonn Quinn, J. B. Kdwards, M. J. Brown, David Murphy, Thomas Martin, sr., and W. A. Richards. The Capital Railroad Company. Mr. Prentice offered a series of pream- bles and resolutions protesting against the proposed change of route of the Capital Railroad Company so as to enter the city by the Anacostia bridge instead of by fer- ry to South Capitol street, and instructing the executive committee of the association to appear before the proper congressional committee and advocate the retention of the original route. The resolution was adopted and referred to the proper committee. Following this the association discussed the question of garbage crematory, the arching of the James Creek canal and real estate values in South Washington. Secretary Storey read a letter from a friend in Atlantic City concerning the cre- matory there, which, ‘he said, ‘should be outside the city limits. There was also a discussion about the parking of cars on the Baltimore and Potomac tracks and the meeting adjourned. —_-_—__ NO CHOICE IN CAUCUS. Failure to Break the Maryland Sena- torial Deadlock. Although the republicans in caucus at Annapolis, Md., last night failed to break the deadlock by selecting a candidate for Senator, the indications are that by to- night, to which time an adjournment was had, a choice will be made.

A dispatch from Rochester, N. Y., last night, says: The effort that is being made by the citizens of this place, irrespective of color, to raise $7,000 for the purpose of erecting a statue to the memory of the late Frederick Douglass is meeting with some success locally, but the committee is much dizappointed at the failure of p2ople in New York and Brooklyn to contribute. Some lit- tle monéy has been received from those cities, but nothing like the amount that was expected. To remedy this the committee having the matter in charge has prepared an app2al, which will be sent to all cities in the country, and it is hoped that in a short time a sufficient amount will be received to cover all expenses.
