"Whether the tourist's fancy directs hi 111 to the New England States or the Atlantic seaboard to the South or to the lake region of the North or to the Rocky Mountains and the wonderland beyond the Mississippi, he will be given opportunity to indulge his tastes at a small cost for railroad fare this year. There will be low rates to Baltimore over the Pennsylvania Lines in May, account the American Medical Association to Decatur, 111., acconut the German Baptist (Dunkard) meeting:, and to Pittsburg for the Presbyterian General Assembly. There will also be low rates over these l.nes to Meridian, Miss account the General Assembly Cumberland Presbyterian church the same month. In June excursion tickets will be sold over the Pennsylvania Lines to Omaha account the National Jr. O. U. A. to Chattanooga, Tenn, for the Iurernational Convention of Epworth League to Cleveland, Ohio, account the National Republican League Meeting, and to Roanoke, Va., for the German Baptist meeting. Excursions for July include low rates over the Pennsylvania to Baltimore for the Baptist Y. P. Union Meet in:/: to Asbury Park for the L. A.

The sale of low rare tickets will not be restricted to members of the organizations mentioned, but the public generally may take advantage of them.

T'te Asbarv Park excursion will doubtless attract many to that delightful ocean resort. Atlantic City, Cape May, Long Brai cli and all the famous watering p'aces along the New Jersey coast are located on the Pennsylvania Lines, hence this ill be a desirabe opportunity to visit the seashore. The Denver excursion will ho j'jsr. ie thing for a sight-seeing imv" t'v tie far West, as tickets will be honored go ng one way and returning a different ro ice through the most romantic scenery beyond the Mississippi and Missouri ri vers. Variable route privileges will also be accorded Boston excursionists, enabli lg them to visit Niagara Falls, Montraa1, Thousand Islands and St. Lawrence Rapids, the White Mountains, the Huls River territory, and to return by steam sr on Long Island Sound, after sight-seeing at Newport.

It is also expected tha Boston excursionists over the Pennsylv inia Lines will be privileged to return via Baltimore and Washington if they so jsire.

In addition to the above, there will be pleuLy of other cheap excursions over the Pennsylvania Lines to various points. As the season is some weeks away, arrangements in detail have not been consummated, but it is certain that DO railway will offer better inducements than the liberal concessions in rates and privileges that may be enjoyed by travelers over the Pennsylvania Lines.

There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed «to be iucurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and perscribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treat we it.

La3t fall I was so bad with my old troublathat I became very weak which continued until about the first 'of December when your special agent Mr. T. D. Cotton called on me and insisted that I give your Liver and Kidney Cure atrial. I had taken in these many years every thing I could hear of and received no benefits. After taking one bottle of your medicine I fouud myself cured of my old army enemy and have had no symptoms^ of my trouble since. I continued its use for kidney and bladder trouble of which 1 was also a sufferer and at present believe I am entirely cured.

OCEAN VESSELS COLLIDE.

One Being Vary Light, No Serious Damage Was Done. NEW YORK, June 13.—The Red Star liner Noordland had just passed the last turn in the channel at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, headed out to sea, when she collided with the German tank steamer Deutschland: A heavy bank of vapor was responsible for the accident.

The only thing that saved the Deutschland from being cut in twain was the fact that she was light. Had she been laden deep the keen prow of the Red Star liner would have cut her down as she3rs pass through paper. As it was, 12 of her heavy side plates were destroyed aud other minor damage was done. The Red Star liner's damage was apparently light, for she proceeded 011 out to sea. No one was hurt.

Hundreds of Shots Fired.

KNOXVILLE, June 13. Revenue officers from this place had a desperate fight Tuesday night in the mountains of Monroe county with White Caps and moonshiners from Georgia. Hundreds of shots were fired, but nobody killed. The largest still ever captured in East Tennessee was seized.

PRESID

1NTIAL PROCLAMATION.

It Warns All Citizens Against Violation of the Neutrality Laws in the Case of Cuba, ami Instructing United States Officers to

Rigorously Knforce the Laws and Punish Violators Thereof. "WASHINGTON, June 13.—Secretary Oluey is thoroughly determined that the United States government shall do all in its power and all that international law requires to prevent the violation of United States territory by persons who undertake to make it abase of hostile operations against Spain, with which power it is at peace.

Complaints have reached the department of state through the Spanish min-# ister that men are being recruited on American soil, and that armed expeditions are leaving our shores for the purpose of attacking the Spanish forces in Cuba. Whenever the necessary evidence can be procured these infractions of the law of the United States are to be severely punished, for the secretary of state will leave no just ground for complaint that, the United States had failed in its obligations to other nations. Meanwhile, however, it has been deemed proper to give formal warning to misguided people of what they may expect" so the following proclamation has been issued from the state department: By the President of the United States—A

Proclamation: WHEREAS, The island of Cuba is now the sc at of serious civil disturbances, accompanied by armed resistance to ho authority of the established government of Spain, a power with which the United States are and desire to remain on terms of peace and amity and,

WHEREAS, The laws of the United States prohibit their citizens, as well as all others being within and subject to their jurisdiction, from taking pare in such disturbances adversely to such established government, by accepting or exercising commissionsfor warlike service against it, by enlistment or procuring others to enlist for such service, by fitting out or arming, or procuring to be fitted out and armed, ships of war for such service, by augmenting the force of any ship of War engaged in such service aud arriving in a port of the United States and by setting 011 foot, or providing or preparing the means for military enterprise to be carried 011 from the United States against the territory of such government.

Now, therefore, in recognition of the laws aforesaid and in discharge of the obligations of the United States toward a friendly power, and as a measure of precaution, and to the end that citizens of the United States and all other within its jurisdiction may be deterred from subjecting themselves to legal forfeitures and penalties, I, Grover Cleveland, president of the United States of America, do hereby admonish all such citizens and other persons to abstain from every violation of the laws hereinbefore referred to, and do hereby warn them that all violations of such laws will be rigorously prosecuted and I do hereby enjoin upon all oflicers of t-lie United States, charged with the execution of said laws, the utmost dcligcnce in preventing violations thereof aud in bringing to trial and punishment any offenders against the same.

I11 testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Done at the city of Washington, this twelfth day of June, in the year of our Lord, eighteen hundred and ninety-live, and of the independence of the United States of America, the 119th.

COMMENTS ON THE PROCLAMATION.

Senators Morgan and Call Explain the Exact Meaning of the Document. WASHINGTON, June 13.—The issuance of the president's proclamation against extending aid to the Cul*.n insurgents gave rise to considerably discussion as to whether it did not practically amount to a recognition of the rebels as belligerents. Such an interpretation of the proclamation, however, is not correct, according to the opinions of several well known public men.

Senator Morgan of Alabama, who is a recognized authority on international law, when asked about the matter, said: "No recognition of the rights of belligerency are accorded by the proclamation, but just the reverse is the case. There would have been no necessity for such action if the insurgents were belligerents, for then the citizens of the United States would have the right to sell them munitions of war if they could escape the blockade of the Spanish fleets. It is simply carrying out the law on the subject. Similar proclamations have, I believe, been heretofore issued at times of Cuban insurrections, and at the time the Texans were endeavoring to throw off the authority of Mexico one was issued warning citizens of the United States from aiding them."

Senator Call of Florida said the proclamation did not intend to accord thfe' insurgents the rights of belligerents, and undoubtedly did not do so. It would, however,- he said, have no effect in preventing the departure of those who were willing to aid the Cuban cause. Because it was utterly impossible to guard the coast of the United States for the government had not the force at hand to do so. '•What is there to prevent a foreign ship from sailing from any ports in tlie United States ostensibly for Europe or any other place with assistance aboard for the insurgents, and then transferring its cargo or sailing from some other ports for Cuba."

The president's proclamation, said the senator, was rather stronger than he liked. "I am." he said, "in favor of the independence of Cuba, for it is a foregone conclusion that the island will throw off the Spanish yoke. In my judgment it is a wild idea to suppose that this government can support the tottering government of Spain over Cuba, or that it ought to do it."

SENTIMENTS WITH THE INSURGENTS.

The Climate Alone Keeping Thousands of Americans Out of Cuba. WASHINGTON, June 13.—When asked as to the character o: the filibustered who are reported to be leaving, the Florida coast for Cuba with the view of

participating in the C.ihau iiisarivction, Senator Call of Florida said a majority of them are of Cuban descent. "The sentiment in Florida," he continued, "is generally with the insurgents, as

I

am satisfied it is in the

sountry at large, and but for the Cuban slimate and the danger of contracting fever on the part- of native Americans, I

believe the Cuban army would ere this have been reinforced by a hundred thousand men from this country."

The senator said the administration could not under existing circumstances, and iu view of our treaty obligations, do less than make an effort to prevent the filibustering expeditions unless it should, as he thought it ought, decide to recognize Cuban independence. He was of the opinion that it would be more difficult in the fall, when there would no longer on account of yellow fever to keep American sympathizers out of Cuba than ai present.

TWO MORE BATTLES FOUGHT.

In Roth Cases the Spaniards Won According to Their Story. HAVANA, June 13.—The advance guard, consisting of 100 men of the 1,500 cavalry commanded by Maceo, Miro aud Sartorius, attacked a detachment of 16 soldiers which was guarding the railroad near Holguin, province of Santiago de Cuba. The soldiers were reinforced by Lieutenant Ruiz and 20 soldiers, but alter half an hour of firing, the detachments retreated. Later, however, they were, reinforced by 100 soldiers belonging to the column commanded by Colonel Galinda. This body of troops some time afterward was engaged with the main body of the enemy and fought its way to Auras, whicn was not attacked. The troops lost two killed and in addition live men are missing.

The band of insurgents, about 50 strong, commanded by Campanoni and Agramonte, attempted to surprise the troops at Morau Tuesday night. The soldiers, however, promptly opened fire 011 the insurgents, who immediately retreated. At daylight one dead insurgent and two others who were seriously wounded, were found in the streets.

Spain Taking Energetic Action. MADJUD, June 13.—Official dispatches received here announce that the insurgents have appeared in the central province of Cuba.

The senate lias adopted a bill to authorize the government to raise, in case of need, a loan of 600,000,000 peostas 011 account of the Island of Cuba. Minister of war, General Azecarraga, is actively occupied in organizing reinforcements and 40,000 men will be ready to start for Cuba in August. Ten thousand soldiers will leave next week. The g-40 eminent has decided on energetic action at all costs.

Rebels Repulsed.

MADRID, June 13.—Advices have been received here from Havana, that two bodies of rebels of about 500 each made an attempt to capture Moron and Puerto Principe. Both attacks were repulsed.

Raleigh Ready to Start.

NEW YORK, June 13.—The cruiser Raleigh will start today for Key West. It is expected that she will make the trip in auout three days and a half.

SILVER CONVENTION.

Twenty States Represented at a Gathering in Memphis. MEMPHIS', June 13.—Friends of silver representing 20 states of the south aud west are holding a convention in this city. Fifteen hundred delegates, comprising Democrats, Republicans and Populists, but with "honest money" as the slogan of all, filled the lower floor and a large portion of the balconies at the Auditorium when the gathering was called to order.

O11 the stage besides the oflicers of the Central Bimetallic League of Memphis, under whose auspices the gathering was held, were, with very few exceptions, all the leading advocates of the free coinage of silver in the United States. They included Senators Bate and Harris of Tennessee, Jones and Berry of Arkansas, Georgo aud Walthall of Mississippi, Marion Butler of North Carolina, Tillman of South Carolina, Turpie of Indiana, Governor John G. Fvans of South Carolina, ex-Governor *-ince of New Mexico, ex-Governor Eagle of Arkansas, ex-Congressman William J. Bryan of Nebraska, General A. J. Warner of Ohio, C. S. Thomas and Alva Adams of Colorado, Alexander Delmar of California and congressmen and bankers from Tennessee and adjoining states by the dozen.

The number of people in the Auditorium did not exceed that which Secretary Carlisle upon his appearance here on May 23, but the demonstration was equally as imposing and enthusiastic as the 6ue witnessed on that occasion.

A permanent organization was efxected, with Senator Turpie of Indiana as chairman, and addresses were delivered by that gentleman and' Alex Delmar of California, Congressman Sibley of Pennsylvania, C. S. Thomas of Denver and Anson Walcott of Indiana.

The remainder of the convention will be devoted to speeches by some of the distinguished visitors, and the consideration of the report of the committee on resolutions, of which Senator Jones of Arkansas is chairman.

Twenty-Four Lives Were Lost. BRESLAU, June 13.—The loss of life in the lire at the Segingoltes miue, belonging to Count Donnersmark, which broke out Monday last, where 400 miners were at work, is not so great as at first anticipated. Nine bodies have been recovered and 15 persons are still missing the rest of the miners escaped. There is 110 doubt that the missing miners were suffocated.

t']' G-»t the Kxtreme Penalty., CLEVELAND, June 13.—Mary Flachmyer, a country girl about 20 years of age, who was charged with having poisoned her babe with paris green, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the criminal court yesterday, and was given the extreme penalty of the law, tweuty years iu the penitentiary.

FOR GOOD MARKSMEN

PREPARING FOR THE GREAT NATIONAL GERMAN SHOOTING FESTIVAL.

More Than $100,000 Offered In Prizes.' The King of Marksmen—Many Loving Cups to Be Given Away—An Interesting

Ev£nt Imported From the Fatherland.

[Special Correspondence.]

NEW YOI:K, May 27.—If there be one marked feature more interesting than another of the traditions, manners and customs of our German-American citizens that has been imported from the fatherland, it is their fraternal association and friendly rivalry in rifle marksmanship. The result has been that there is no city of any importance or even township in this country but has its shooting society, OT sehuetzen corps, as it is usually termed. In New York city alone there are over CO of these, which, with those of other places, are now united in a national organization composed of hundreds of thousands of members.

This will be very positively demonstrated at Glendale park, on Long Island, at the great festival to be held by the Nation-

WILLIAM V. WEDEIi, PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL SHOOTING BUND, al Schuctzen association (bund) of the United States, and which will bo continuously in progress from Juno 30 to July 8, inclusive. Upon this occasion, for which between $100,000 and $150,000 has been subscribed, valuablo and artistically designed loving cups, gold, silver aud jeweled badges and medals and money prizes will be competed for not only by the best riflemen in the United States, but by visitors from German speaking countries on the other side of the Atlantic, for many of those delegated to represent the schuetzen corps of Germany, Austria and Switzerland have promised to be in attendance.

Germans do not hesitate to state that although not wishing to interfere with any of their duties of American citizenship they hopo to perpetuate by the coming festival, which they believo will be the largest of the kind ever held, Teutonic ideas, associations and sports as well as their nativo language among their descendants. They also hope to have their prowess as marksmon continued as successfully as they have their gymnastic exercises through tlie turners and their love of music and song by their singing societies.

The King of Itiile Shots.

During the World's fair in 1893 at Chicago tho Germans of the country determined to succeed in what others of their compatriots had failed in accomplishing. Accordingly on Juno 4 of the year named the Chicago international prize shooting festival was begun and continued for four months successively until its termination on Sept. 3. Two hundred and fifty of the most famous shots of the world competed for tho title and honor of tho schuetzen king of the world. The victor in the contost was John A. Boykcn of New York, among his unsuccessful rivals, although winners of other prizes, being Carl Finkensiper of Chicago, F. Bredow of Davenport, G. Hoinrighausen of Baltimore, Dr. A. A. Stillman of Syracuse, A. J. Beudusen of Winona, A. McBean of St. Louis and others, but 110110 of whom achieved the splendid score of 224 made by the king.

Those who were present at this delightful reunion enthusiastically record their experiences, which almost made them believe that an old country festival had been bodily transplanted from tho dominions of his majesty he kaiser. All tho essential features of sui-h an occasion were manifest. The happy groups joyfully gathered together under the trees where waved the banners of their respective corps and surrounding the barrels of foaming amber ued lager with which, amid clink of glasses and pounding of tables, the devotees of Gambrinus toasted each other with loud "hochs."

Friends who had been long separated met together again, and although competing against each other for tho numerous prizes renewed their vows of friendship with that hearty and generous Kathusiasm so marked a characteristic. Here they arranged the initial steps for the great festival which will take place at Glendale park in Juno and July, and which is looked forward to as a rallying centor for a still cl iser union of the various corps of the United States. Already, outside of New York city and its vicinity—Brooklyn, Long Island, Staten Island and New Jersey—the following cities have shuetzen corps affiliated with the national body: Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Bridgeport, Camden, Charleston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Columbus, Ga. Denver, Detroit, Dubuque, Columbia, S. C. Fort Wayne, Galveston, Joliet, l^os Angeles, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Hartford, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Mobile, Newport, New Orleans, New Haven, Richmond, Rochester, San Francisco, Sacramento, Springfield, Mass. Savannah, South Bend, St. Louis, Syracuse, Omaha, Toledo, Trenton, Troy, Washington, Wilmington, Wilkesbarre, Winona, etc.

Arrangements All Completed. The present officers of tho association have among them some of the best riflo shots in tho United States. Tho national president is William V. Weber, tho popuFar captain of tho New York Independent Schuetzen, and who is a journalist, principally devoting himself to tho editorship of a magazine devoted to ho interests of his associates in the domain of rifledom. Lorenz Zoller, Henry Offermann, A. Richtor and C. D. Rehmarotho vice presidents. Tho minor officers are Fritz Baumann, recording secretary Charles Iloodel, corresponding secretary Henry J. Behrons, financial secretary George H. Welirenberg, treasurer Bombard Walther, Gebhard Krantz and W. Hayes, shooting masters, and Fred Cook, Robert Henke, Fred Krxmoyer, O. Uehlein and George H. Friedrichs, trustees. uder the auspices of those officers, with whom are notably associated Mr. H. A. Dittrich, editor of the Now Yo" Schuetzen Zeitung, and Edwin Hotz, o:. of tho most noted sharpshooter kings in the eastern

states, every preparation down to the minutest details have been arranged for tha national schuetzen bund festival, to taker place in Juno and July, and which, It is confidently expected, to use their owns words, "will add a leaf in the crown of glory of German achievements."

Special committees on finance, amuse-' ment, reception, etc., including one on ninepins, as well as the29 judges selected, are all ready for the rifle tournament at? Glendale 13ark, for which all over the United States its best shots are now practicing: for the numerous prizes.

The place selected for the festival is a, beautifully wooded park of some 30 acres already covered with the numerous buildings necessary for the entertainment of tiff' thousands of visitors who are expected from all parts of tho coun try. Glendale park is some 15 minutes' rido by rail from Long Island City, tho New York ferry for which is at Thirty-fourth street. The mosfc essential feature of tho shooting festival grounds aro naturally the ranges, of which there aro two, both 600 feet long, tho main one having 45 targets and the smaller* one 13. Tho first named will bo for thei use of tho members of the association only, and tho other for tho general public. At tho bund, or main shooting range, therei are two kinds of targets respectively styled tho Columbia and the Germania.

Money, Cups and Medals.

Any quantity of money prizes as well a® cups and medals will be competed for audi for tho exhibition of these a special build-: ing has been erected at Glendale park. Tlie principal money prizes to bo contested* for at the Columbia targets are for $500, $300 and S2Q0 respectively. No less thatt 117 different money prizes will await the successful ones at the Germania targets. These aggregate $1,500, the highest prize* being one of &J00. Tho general visitors* targets aro four kinds, these being specially denominated the "ring," "man,"' "American standard" and "point" targets. For eon testants successful in making^ 25 rings at tho ring targets there have been* allotted 100 prizes amounting to $1,500. O110 hundred, worth $1,200, will bo shot for at tho man targets, and 50, worth $1,000, at tho American standard targets, whicht'aro similar in every respect to those usetfc by the United States army and the statermilitias. The point target, which is the familiar bullseye with outer rings, will b»' the scene of somo of tho most spirited rivalry, for although the principal prizes are* money ones—viz, 100 amounting to $1,200—still every shooter who makes 25" points is entitled to a silver medal, those* scoring 150 points a gold medal, and those still more fortunate, making 300, a silver' cup.

But the greatest competition of all will naturally be for the kingship of tho national festival, for it will give the victor" tho right to be called henceforth tho shooting king of all the world. Ho who succeeds in making the most points in his first 200 shots will be proclaimed the king.: of tho feast, in addition to his receiving a&> splendid medal and a cash prize. All thosef of his unsuccessful rivals who make 200 points and over will receive money prizes, ranging according to the score made by" them.

The Loving Cups.

Numerous are tho loving cups that will be given away, but the most noticeable

ot-

tlioso to be contested for at tho festival are" three in number. The first of these is' naturally that of the National Schuetzen bund itself. This handsome work of art is beautifully chased and engraved with symbolical designs, tho principal ono being the New York and Brooklyn bridge and the armorial bearings of the state of New* York. Next in importance is Tho Schuetzen Zeitimg cup, which has a somewhat fantastic lid, representing a German peasant maiden poised on ouefoot and holding" in her outstretched hands steins of lager. On the cup proper is naturally exhibited the standard target, sin-rounded by rifles-' and German and American flags. The Staats Zeitung cup is ono of the old fashioned loving cups, with horn handles, to enable the drinker to toast his comrades deep and long.

In addition to tho prizes for the shooters proper there will bo also distributed a nnm-/ bcr of others for the successful winners of tho gymnastic exercises, such as running, jumping, leaping and tlio like, as wt4l 09 many more for women and children, whowill contest for tho championship of the different popular games that will be arranged for by ho amusement committee, who lia vo also promised to surprise the guests of the festival by a small edition of tho Midway plaisance, which was such a feature at tho Columbian exhibition afc Chicago.

Tho official programme agreed upon by tho national officers and committees of arrangement begins with tho reception onSaturday, Juno 29, of foreign visitors andof a great "commers" or singing and drinking bout at the national headquar-
