WOMEN’S NERVES, Only Too Often They Are Ont of Tone ‘To Those of the Gentler Sex, Suffering From Nervous Debility, a Boon is Offered. . It is no longer either fashionable on the one hand or a matter of reproach on the other to have “nerves” and know it. Women, from their Keener, more delicate organization, are more subject to nerve troubles—to prostration, exhaustion, sleeplessness, lack of vigor in mind or body, dyspepsia, neuralgia and all the rest of the kindred evils—than mea are. And they suffer more when unstrung. Fortunatety they respond more readily than men to a remedy. That a sure specific for nervous troubles 1s within woman's ready reach is mot open to question. ‘Thousands know this to be true. Here are a few expressions from hundreds received within the last two months: Mrs. J. F. Hamilton, 141 Congress st., Portland, Me. great boon."* Mrs. Lulu Gleason, Onalaska, Wis. “I was a Wietim of nervous prostration and dyspepsia. I have taken one box of Dr. Charcot’s Kola Nervine Tablets, have gained five pounds and am better and happier than I have been for five years.”” Kate M. McLean, Dorchester, Muss. “Kola Nervine Tablets gave me immediate relief in an acute attack of dyspepsia and indigestion. They are surely wonderful. My friends are using them with excellent results.”” Mrs. Frank Morey, 28 Worcester square, Boston. “My little daughter became very mnch emaciated and nervous.

The demonstration at Queen’s Hall, Lon- don, last night in favor cf permanent arbi- tration between the United States and Great Britain was disappointing from the point of view of numbers, the auaience, which was rot large, being mostiy made up of women. Much enthusiasm was occasioned prior to the arrival of the speakers for the evening when the girls who were to sing in the choir trooped upon the stage in batches, which were arrayed alternately in sashes formed of the union jack and the stars and stripes, until a complete blending of the flags of the two countries was effected, intended to be symbolic of international harmony, which the promoters of the meeting are seeking to establish. Before the meeting opened the organ play- ed “Hearts of Uak,” “Our ShipsThat Sailed,” “Columbia” and kindred airs. The choir also sang the well-known patriotic air, which is, to some extent, common to the both coun- tries, one-half of the choir singing the words od Save the Queen” and the other half 'y Country, Tis of Thee,” simultaneously, the audience joining in the dual anthem. Sir James Stansfeld- presided’ over the meeting, and he was supported by Mr. W. T. Stead, Lady Henry Somerset, Right Hon. A. J. Mundeila, radicai member of parlia- ment for Sheffield; Prof. James Bryce, Right Hon. George Shaw Lefevre, Mrs. Hall Caine, Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, the bishop of Rochester and others. Mr. Stead, after the opening of the meet- irg, read letters of sympathy with its pur- pose from Mr A. J. Balfour, first lord of the treasury; Mr. Gladstone, Right Hon. Henry Asquith, home secretary in the late Fberal government; Mr. Labouchere, George Meredith, the author; Mr. Henry Norman, who came to Washington on behalf of the London Chronicle; Herbert Spencer, Holman Hunt, Wilson Barrett, the actor; William Watson, the poet; Viscount Peel, ex-speaker of the house of commons; Leonard Courtney, Alma Tadema, G. F. Watts, Dr. Parker and of these letters elicited vigor- ous cheers from the audience. Sir James Stansfeld said that if it were enly for the hearing of the letters, the meet- ing would not have been in vain. The Ven- ezuelan question, he thought, was a blessing in disguise, because he believed that the re- sult wo’ id be a treaty of arbitration. R.

Murdella then moved a resolu- ng the committee be convened ting to reconstitute itself on a na- a, with a view to co-operate with tional bas the Washington movement. Mr. Mundella, in the course of his speech, read a telegram of sympathy and concord from America. This motion was. carried unanimously, and the meeting terminated with the singing of the national! anthem. —- The Arkansas Endeavorers. Information has just been received by the chairman of the entertainment commit- tee of the committee of .'96 that the dele- gation from Arkansas which expects to attend the Christian Endeavor convention in July next has, through its representa- tive in this city, Robert E.

RELEASE OF THE STEAMER BERMUDA Details Regarding the Guatao Massacre. DEMONSTRATIONS IN SPAIN eee The news has been received that a fili- bustering expedition in charge of Gen. En- rique Callazo has made a landing at Bahia Honda, on the nerthwest coast of the Island of Cuba. Before a landing was effected it was chased by the Spanish gunboat Cortez. The chase took place Saturday night lest, and only the darkness and the fact that the filibusters carried no lights saved her from being blown out of the water by the gun- boat. ‘The schooner, carrying men, arms and ammunition, sailed from Cape Canaveral, Fia., for Cuba. So discreetly was every- thing arranged that the fillbusters got away without molestation on the part of the authorities. The men composing the expe- dition were gathered at Key West and Tampa through the efforts of Callaxo, who once before tried to get to Cubs, but was prevented by the authorities. The filibusters left the vicinity of Key West a few nights ago on a swift schooner and sailed north to Cape Canaveral, where arms and ammunition had been stored. The schooner reached Canaverai, put into a se- cluded cove and anchored. Boats were sent aghcre and the boxes of munitions speedily taken aboard. The schooner at once sailed to the southward. The arms, it is said, were left on Cape Canaveral several days before by a steamer from Jacksonville. This steamer is owned by friends of Cube. More than one thous- and rifles and 200,000 rounds of ammunition besides machetes and dynamite were left on the cape. After the Jacksonville steamer had left the arms at Canaveral under guard she proceeded to Key West and informed the leadezs of the expedition where the mu- nitions had been left. The Cubans sailed immediately. The expedition is composed of more than 100 men, among whom are sev- eral Americans. THE BERMUDA RELEASED. All Proceedings Against the Stea ship Abandoned by the Government. The goverrment has abandoned all pro- ceedings against the alleged Cuban filibus- tering steamship Bermuda, recently seized in New York harbor. United States Dis- trict Attorney Macfarlane secured a special order yesterday afternoon, ordering the ves- sel released from custody. The dispatch also ordered the release of all the arms, money, ship stores and other things seized by the United States marshals and directed that they be placed where they were origi- nally found. This does not indicate that the government has abandoned the proceedings against the leaders of the alleged expedition, for shortly before the Bermuda was formally released United States Marshal John McCarthy bearded her and arrested three members of the crew. The new prisoners are Charles C. Taylor, the steward; Thomas Nelson, the engineer, and James Howdan, engineer's assistant. They are held witnesses against the other prisoners. As soon as United States District Attor- ney Macfarlane received the order he at once communicated with Emmett R. Olcott and L. Reubens, counsel for the owners of the Bermuda. They produced Capt. Thom- as A. Thompson, who is on record us the owner of the vessel, and Louis Pine, who is said to be the owner of the arms. They were told that the government would no longer detain the vessel or the arms seized aboard the lighter Strananan. However conclusive the evidence may be that the Bermuda was about to depart Upon this mission, it is said that the law and decisions of the courts clearly inhibit her seizure ard confiscation. It is also stated that it was noi the intention of the government at the time of the arrest of her captair. to detain the vessel any longer than Was necessary to ascertain who her owners were, and all other facts relative to her status under the law. PREVENTED THE DEMONSTRATION. Hot Headed Spanish Students Made to Behave Themselves. Three hundred students at the university in Madrid attempted yesterday to make a demonstration against America on account of the Cuban resolutions in Congress. A number of wo-kingmen joined them. The rector of the university took prompt action to restore order, and caused the arrest of fifty of the more demonstrative of the crowd. 3 They were soon liberated, upon promis- ing to behave themselves. The police ar- rested two of the workingmen. The day was otherwise peaceful. Many of the shops of the city on which there were American names have taken the precaution to have taem effaced, fearirg that in the present unsettled state of the public temper the Names would invite attack. There were many lively incidents between the students and police guarding the streets around the university. There were similar scenes at Saragossa, Tarragona and Granada, and at Barcelona particularly, where the police so well pro- tected the United States consulate that the coziswi expressed his gratitude. Many stu- dents have been arrested in Madrid and Barcetona. Military and police precautions continue at Madrid, especially around the American legation. Several provincial governors have telegraphed that, in view of agitation in their towns, it was advisable to permit demonstrations The national government has answered that it will use force if necessary to check any demonstrations against the United States. ‘Thé intelligence of the release of the fill- bustering steamer Bermuda and its cargo caused a fresh outbreak of displeasure in Madrid last night, which is echoed by the Papers. THE GUATAO MASSACRE. Story of the Affair Told to Capt. General Weyler. Captain General Weyler of Cuba, after announcing that nothing outside of the or- dirary combat between troops of Spain and armed rebels occurred, has begun an investigation ‘nto the recert Guatao mas- sacre, a description of which recently ap- peared in The Star. He was waited upon by a delegation of women from the little hamlet of Guatao and the town of Punta Brava, and heard the story of the killing from the wives, mothers and sisters of the dead, and list- ened to the appeal for the lives and liberty of the fifteen prisoners. He also received official notice from Con- sul General Williams that among the pris- oners taken from the town and now lodged im Moro Castle is an American citizen, who was shot in the arm while hiding in his own house, in the presence of his wife, and though unarmed and guilty of no act against Spain, was taken prisoner and held for the military tribunal. The story of the massacre of eighteen pacificiers by_the troops is confirmed be- yond doubt. In the endeavor to prevent it from being proclaimed to the world the authorities made the blunder of arresting Charles Michelson, an American correspon- dent, and his interpreter, Lorenzo Betan- court. E A STORY OF CRUELTY. What Witnesses of the Massacre Say. A private letter from a resident of Havana gives the following particulars of the recent n.assacres in Cuba by the Spanish: __ T avail myself of the oppcrtunity, through a trusted friend, to give you a few details of the affair at Punta Brava. In the news- papers of this city you will see that four days ago the official dispatches announced that a great battle had taken place there, and that the rebels had twenty men killed and fifteen made prisoners by the Spaniards. This is all false, absolutely false. I have the facts from several trustworthy eye wit- nesses. : ‘What happened was this: & rebel foroa at Guatao about 200 men made an attack on Punta Brava, where a 8p: officer, with some il Fr thirty’ soldiers, .res! fas. long as he was a, able to, When tl saw that his am- LapAy .

You may suppose how fearful the thing rust have been when the Marquis de Cer- vera, present mayor of Marianao, who did rot conduct the attack, as the papers have said, but remained, keeping some 50,000 cartridges that were in the place, was hor- ror-stricken and said that he was coming to see Gen. Weyler and tell him the whole truth. -I don’t know whether he has done so or whether he will do it later. These atro- clous occurrences have caused so much in- dignation that several dispatches have been sent to your city in regard to them. Gen. Weyler has telegraphed to Dupuy de Locate continued and steady progress, and still alert and on the as forward deck, leading all competitors in the business of 5 _ Carriages, Harnesses, With Acres of Buildings Lome since his arrival here that nobody had been shot and that he had set at liberty sev- eral Cuban leaders made prisoners at Ma- nagua. This again is false, because I know it to be a fact that about the country peace- able people are being shot and assassinated in large numbers. From aU directions fam- ilies come into the city complaining. that they have lost a father, a son, or a brother. What a savage set of people! When will the United States or any other nation intervene for the sake of humanity?

There was an exciting fire in a stable in rear of Cedar street about 4 o’clock yester- day afternoon, and had it not been for the quick work of the fire department, a num- ber of houses would, in all probability, have been destroyed. There are two stables on Ce- dar street, one occupied by an Italian as a place for the storage of fruit, while the other building fs used for stable purposes. It appears that several colored boys be- tween six and twelve years old had been Playing {n the stables, and they purposely fired one of the buildings. First they went in the building where the horses were kept, and would probably have destroyed the lives of the animals had they not been driven out. They they’ went into the Ital- jan’s place with a bucket of hot coals, and in a few minutes the building was burning. The flames spread to the anjoining proper- ty, and slightly damaged the house of Mrs. Parker. In addition to the slight damage done by the fames, Mrs. Parker's house Was entered by persons:who wanted to save her household effects, and some damage Was done in this way. Mrs. Parker’s son Lorraine, eleven years old, had been the leader of the party of colored boys who had set fire to the stable. His companions were Clarence Page, James Lewis and Will:am Lewis, and Sergt. Mont- gomery and Policeman Kelly arrested them. They were first charged with arson, but because of their youth the charge was changed to incorrigib.lity. The Parker boy, who was ‘responsible for the fire, was sen- tenced to the reform school, and the others were warned and released. ——— SALVADOR TO ARBITRATE, Mecaragua and Costa Rica Still Dis- puting Over Their Limits. {The.. government of Nicaragua, has. seat Salvador a commission consisting of a min- ister plenipoteatiar: Matus; a sec- retary of legation, ansto Caraso, and an engineer, as an attache of the lega- tion, Mr. Wm. Clime. This commission will be met by a similar commission from the republic of Costa Rica,.and the two bodies will submit to the government of Salvador, which has been vhosen#s arbitrator, the long-standing dispute“about the boundary between Nicaragua and Costa Rica, which has frequently threatened to plunge the two countries into war. This matter was submitted to the arbi- tration of President Cleveland during nis first. term, .and. settled upon the general localities of the boundary between Costa | Rica and Nicaragua. But it’ was ‘consider- ed in, Nicaragwa-that President Cleveland had decided somewhat heavily against Nicaragua, probably through the imperfect presentation of the case for this republic, a large district of Nicatagua’s original ter- Titory having been assigned to Costa Rica. The boundary, however, has never been correctly determined by the engineers from the “two countries, as directed by the ar- Ditratar, although the work was commenced after President Cleveland's decision was Published. But disputes soon arose as to the: proper. lovality of the beundary at Salinas bay, near the Pacific, and Nicar- agua withdrew her engineers. In spite of this, the Costa Rican engineers continued thelr work, and that republic claims to have determined and marked out the bound- ary, from ocean to ocean, according to the decision of President Cleveland. Nicaragua will not admit this and war has been threatened on both sides frequently since the announcement was made. ‘The claim for-$1,000,000 gold made against Nicaragua by A. Schultz, a German subject, who declares that the Nicaraguan govern- ment has refused him titles to land and has dispossessed him from large areas of ground rich in gold, in the Princapulka placer mining district; which recently ap- peared to be a serious diplomatic affair, has been arranged, in so far as it has been placed in a fair state for early settlement. it is probable that Mr. Schultz will be given full satisfaction for his claim, titles to two placer goid mines (one of them probably: over a_mile long), to which he appears to have a clear right by discovery and occupation for over one year. ——-- os-____ Fiction and Other Reading. A correspondent of the Newport, R. L., News writes to that journal: “Is not the story-loving habit cultivated to such an excess as to exclude most other mental habits, such a8 reasoning, compar- ison, reflection, memory and observation, which becomes at least dwarfed, if not un- cultivated altogether? “A story should be itaken as relaxation from serious reading, habits of study or rest from care and toil, like a drive, a mu- sicale, a journey, a social, but not made the entire mental pabulum. For, after all, do ten persons in a thousand read novels for much else than the plot? We have all heard persons say: ‘Oh, I read only good novels,’ and, upon close investigation, it is found they read little else. Hence, some of the most useful andéustructive books of biography, travel, essays and history are tabooed as ‘dry’ or ‘dwt! Because such mul- titudes have learned th dépend on the stim- ulus of stories. And ff tits be true, why is not such stimulus 4s detrimental to the mind as stimulants1te ithe body? Since people will read ‘novtls tw so great an ex- tent, it is a great godd t6 point out whole- some writers; but in thy ‘Judgment it would be a greater good to persuade readers to reduce’ their fiction ¢ aJsmaller percent- ad eb age. 3 “Some time since #/ writer in the North American Review argued that after close examination of statisttosihe was led to be- lieve that the enormbus; preponderance of fiction over all other tteading made libraries a mental injury, rather than a blessing. I presume his article was long since engulfed in the universal cry for fiction. One bene- factor, I know, found ‘a library in the west, and excluded aff: but the most stand- ard authors, such as Scott, Dickens, &c. I have often longed to know the history of that library, what proportion of the inhab- itants patromized or appreciated it. One can but believe that where there was no other: public library it must have been hailed with delight, and created better reading habits in some portion of that community. May others go and do like- wise. “Oh, the delightful books passed by for fiction, sometimes poor fiction!

Dr. Talmage Delivers a Stirring Ad- dress—Liberal Contributions by the Assembinge—Overflow Meeting. When President Cleveland appeared at the Presbyterian home mission meeting in Carnegie Hall, New York, last even- ing, accompanied by Rev. Dr. John Hall of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, he was received with great applause, the ,whole audience rising and waving hand- kerchiefs. When the applause had subsided Dr. Hall introduced President Cleveland as chairman of the meeting, whereupon the applause was renewed again and again. The President's Remarks. When the cheering had subsided Mr. Cleveland said: “I desire to express my appreciation of the privilege of participating in this con- ference, and of the opportunity thus af- forded me of testifying to the value and .sefulness of the work undertaken by the bcerd of home missions of the Presbyterian Chureh, “My interest in the subject and my fa- miliarity with home missionary effort are not newly acquired. They early came to me in the surroundings of a Christian Pres- byterian home, and were stimulated by @ father’s fait: ful labors in the cause. “My early impressions are not, however, the only basis of the testimony I give to- night in favor of home missions. As your fellow citizen, interested, I hope, in all things that deepen the religious sentiment of our people and enlarge Christian influ- ence, I fully realize the transcendent im- pertance of this agency in its operation upen the hearts of men for the salvation of their souls.

In these days the vanguard of occupation in a settlement is never without its vicious and criminal element. Gambling houses and dram shops are frequently among the first establishments in a new community. It must also be confessed that removal from old homes and associations to a new and more primitive home has a tendency among honest and respectable settlers to smother scruples, and to breed toleration of evil and indifference to Chris- tianizing and elevating agencies. These con- ditions, if unchecked and uncorrected, fix upon the new community by their growth and expansion a character and disposition which, while dangerous to peace and order in the early stages of settlement, develop into badly regulated municipalities, corrupt and unsafe territories and undesirable states. These are serious considerations in a country where the people, good or bad, are its rulers, because the conditions to which I have referred would ceriainly menace, within a circle conetantly enlarg- ing, the safety and welfare of the entire body politic if we could not hope that churches and religious teaching would from the first be on the ground to oppose the evil influences that are apt to pervade the Veginning cf organized communities. “These churches and this religious teach- ing were never more needed than now on our distant frontiers, where the process of forming new states is going on so rap- idly, and where newcoriers who are to be citizens of new states are so rapidly gath- ering together.
