NEVER SOLD IN DRUG STQRES. I GENERAL JIMINEZ IS ARRESTED AT CIENFUEGOS Aspirant for the Presidency of Santo Domingo Prevented by United States Officers From Leaving Cuba. | AVANA, Aug. 18.—In view of the | as possible, and after Jiminez and his | Leonard Wood, the military Governor, fact that Colonel Bacallao, chief of the secret police, persisted in his declaration that General Jiminez, the aspirant to the | Presidency of San Domingo, was in Havana, either not having left or hav- ing returned, the military authorities | telegraphed to Cienfuegos instructing Captain Stamper, Collector of Customs | there, to ascertain whether Jiminez was on the Menondez steamer and to take him under arrest if that should be the case. Just as the steamer was about leaving Cienfuegos Captain Stamper lo- cated Jiminez and arrested him. Jimi- nez denounced the arrest as an outrage. He said he had broken no law and would not yield except by force. Cap- tain Stamper replied that he was ready to use force if necessary, and Jiminez then ylelded, remarking that he did so only because he could not help himself. Senor Frias, Mayor of Cienfuegos, re- fused to make the arrest, claiming that General Jiminez was an old personal friend whom he had known intimately for year: When Jiminez was taken nto custody Senor Frias was fonnd h a pelice inspector in close conver- ion with Jiminez and the latter's retary. urging him to leave the steamer, to conceal himself and to wait for a better opportunity. 5 Captain Stamper informed Jiminez that he would make him as comfortable | RELIEF FOR THE STORM-SUFFERERS Food Being Distributed in Porto Rico.

PONCE, Porto Rico, Aug. 18.—I have just completed a trip through the southern and most distressed districts of the island. The misery is very great and is more apparent now than it was immediately after the storm, but the Government has the famine districts in hand and has shown itself com. petent to deal with the situation. Relief is being rapidly and effectively distributed. Each post commander has received $1000 and limited supplies of food for distribution. More supplies are being forwarded as fast as possible. Each commander has appointed a dis- officer, who dis or gives employment. of tGwns receive no money or but with scarc have rendered . Besides a loss of crops the of life has been remely heavy ning from almost e thetically humble funeral are met, the bodies being wrapped in palm leaves. The majority of the dead were washed away. The Albonito dis- trict ha fle The offi calde are: Killed by the storm, 20; wounded, 60; houses destroyed in town and country surrounding, 1228. The barracks in Aibonito were totally de- stroyed. Many soldiers had a narrow escape. One was killed and several were wounded and one is still missing. Captain Wheeler has demonstrated the advantage of giving rk to the suffer- ers instead of dole: On his own au- thority he has spent a portion of the thousand dollars granted him in em- ploying all available labor. As a re- sult Aibonito to-d: is well repaired, the streets are clean and the people are contented. In the country district of Juandiaz. says the Mayor of that town, 105 per- sons were killed in the storm apd many are ill. The result is much misery. Provisions are scarce. In all the country districts reports of danger from infectious disease have been exaggerated. The only danger is from fevers arising from hunger. In Ponce there may be some infec- tion, but even here the authorities may be able to keep disease under control if it breaks out. Army surgeous in all town are visiting the invalids daily. In all the districts in the island ex- treme poverty is likely to continue for at least two years. The whole of Ponce Valley from Juanadiaz down Is a complete ruin. Trees, houses, piles of river sand. bodies of cattle and general debris are scattered everywhere. The highway cannot be picked out in the midst of the wreckage and traveling is danger- ous even yet. In Ponce repairs are being pushed rapidly. The streets are being cleaned, but the carts available are not suffi- cient to remove with speed the offen- sive matter deposited by the flood. Local stores are resuming business. Telegraphic communication has not yet been re-established with San Juan. SRR ST SUPPLIES SENT TO THE DESTITUTE NEW YORK, Aug. 18—Rellef for the Porto Ricans left destitute by the huirl- | cune was dispatched from New York on the steamer Evelyn, which salled for Ponce, to-day. The supplies consisted largely of clothing and medicines. 'REPORTS THAT ANDREWS ISLAND WAS SWEPT AWAY JACKSONVILLE, Aug. 18.—According to a Miami dispatch to the Times-Union | and Citizen, Captain Diiton of the steamer Cocoa states that the town of Red Bay, on the Island of Andrews, twenty miles southwest of Nassau, was swept away in the recent tropical hurricane and about 300 lives lost. An eye-witness of the storm estimated that the loss of life on the island was fully 600. scattered through It is believed the Mayor was | ry by road pa- | processions | secretary had packed their trunks they were driven, accompanied by the chief of police and Captain Stamper, to the Union Hotel, where two bedrooms and |'a dining-room were placed at their dis- | posal. General Jiminez will be kept iun(ler police charge until further advices are received from the Governor There is much excitement General. among the affair. The sentiment is generally expressed that the authorities had no right to ar- rest Jiminez, an unarmed citizen, going apparently to Santiago de Cuba, and the point is even made that even if he | were going to San Domingo he would | only be returning to his native coyntry. Senor Aybor, a representative of Jimi- nez, left =nfuegos for Santiago last | Tuesday after remaining at the former | place ten days. It is beliveed he tried to fit out an expedition, as a small | schooner was found lying outside the harbor, supposed to be awaliting a car- g0 of ammunition. Aybor had taken out clearance papers for Key West several days before. NTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. 18.—The San Domingo agents are rapidly re- cruiting expeditions in this part of the island, particuls on the north coast. | Orders were received from Havana to- | day to hold the men recently captured at Baracoa pending an investigation. All trading schooners are closelv watched. sterday the tug Adonis was armed and sent to Guantanamo to patrol the coast. It is certain that sev- eral expeditions have been able to get away without interference, but General the people of Cienfuegos over | | is determined to do all in his power to enforce neutrality. | WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—It devel- | oped to-day that the orders given to the | gunboat Machias, directing her to pro- | ceed to Santiago de Cuba and then | cruise along the north coast of Cuba |in the vicinity of Baracoa, were sent at the request of the War Department. | which has telegraphic information of a large filibustering expedition whose destination Is San Domingo. There is a disposition to believe that it is this | expedition which Jiminez hoped to take to San Domingo. | General Brooke and Commander Lo- | gan have been advised that the neu- trality laws of the United States must be observed, and there is no intention on the part of this Govern- ment of permitting San Domin- g0 to again infer that the| | United States winked its eye at | filibustering expeditions, as appeared to be the case when the Fanita was used | by Jiminez in his expedition of a year ON, Jamaica, Aug. 18.—Ad- | vices from San Domingo say the Gov- ernment there is growing desperate, |nnprehensive of the arrival of Jiminez, leader of the revolution, who is momen- | tarily expected. His arrival, it was | added, will completely turn popular opinion, which has been partly unde- cided. Consequently the chief object of the Government is to intercept Jiminez, | and a number of armed vessels are pa- | trolling the coast with orders to search every strange vessel and capture Jimi- nez under any flag, armed or not. | wreck of houses at Red Bay after subsided, he said, were hun- of all ages vs the wind miles an hour onal gust which miles an hour. PROTECTING GAME IN MARIN COUNTY John Smith Arrested on a Charge of Killing Deer Out of Season. SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 18.—The Marin County Fish and Game Protective A making an active crusade ators of the fish and game and its e: nce is felt as a strong | factor in the work of apprehending and punishing those who are regarded as to blame for the wanton slaying of deer and quails. J. Burnell was fined $ last evening by Justice Rodden for hav- ing a number of quails in his possession out of season and to-day John Smith was arrested by Constable W. J. Trea- nor on a charge of selling deer meat. Smith is the man alleged to have sold the carcass of a deer to Messrs. Phelps and Black, two San Francisco Super- visors. They took the meat to a res- taurant and left it there for their own use. It seems, however, that the res- taurateur was prevailed upon to seil some of the meat to Fish and Game Commissioner Vogelsang, with the re- sult that he was placed under arrest. s soon as the local authorities arned of this they went to work to find out who sold Phelps and Black the meat, and now claim to have evidence t®at Smith is the man. When arrested to-day he claimed, according officers, to have given the carcass of the deer to the Supervisors. Smith is)inclined to treat the matter a joke and when questioned after His arrest jocular remarked, “I am innocent. I baven’t seen a deer this season.” The authorities say they their evidence {s positive and that Smith will have to pay a fine.

E REDLANDS, Aug. 18.—The Harqua- hala mines near Yuma, Ariz., have again become the property of A. D. Hubbard, the millionaire miner of Red- lands. Once before Hubbard owned | these famous mines. One bar shipped to San Francisco worth $98,000 was the largest gold bar ever sent from an Ari- zona mine. In 1892 Hubbard sold the mine for $1,250,000, the purchasers being an American corporation organized under the laws of Minnesota, the majority of the stock being owned by English capi- talists. It was ‘officered by high-sal- aried, foreigners, inexperienced in min- ing, and run three years without pay- ing. For three years past it has been leased and poorly managed. Hubbard has faith in these mines and is a shrewd expert mining engineer. — IDENTITY OF A TRAIN-ROBBER KNOWN CARLSBAD, N.

ADVERTISEMENTS. *Those we Leave Behind.” Men are care- less about their lives for their Y own sakes, but a kind and tender man should think of others; he should think if he should die of ose he leaves behind to grieve and sorrow and struggle on without him. For this reason alone, if for no other, every man should re- gard his health as a precious treasure not to be thrown away or spent and scattered in_vain. If any man’s health is weakened or wasted, or running down, he should take the right means to build himself up strong and well, so that he can both live and care for those he loves. He should investigate | the virtues of that great remedy, the “Golden Medical Discovery” originated by Dr. R. V.

It isa remedy that maKes a man thoroughly well by giv- | ing power and capacity to the digestive and assimilative organs. It makes healthy in- vigorating biood out of the food he eats It gives him strength and energy to put into his daily task.
