The 200 volunteers at Guira a few days •go made a stout resistance to the entry of Gomez, who for the time being, }»ad Immediate command of 1,400 Infantry. The cavalry left at a distance of three miles, rode to the other side of the town, looted the stores, and burned two streets. Gomez, thinking they were Ppanish troops coming from another direction (he had ordered his cavalry #o remain away from the town), fired Into them and killed a number of his •wn men. In the meahtime the volunto»ers had surrendered, and along-with about 100 citizens, including the priest, ^ere marched In a body several miles fc*yond the town's limits. They all expected to be shot and pleaded for their lives with the rebel leader. He did not ihiswer them, but, reaching a grove, had Chem lined up before his entire army.
Humanity of liomci.
"We will not waste good ammunition tipon them," said Gomez, and turning to one of his aids, he ordered up 1,000 cavalrymen with drawn machetes. The prisoners trembled and the priest shed •tears and prayed. The rebel- horsemen were ready and awaiting an order to machete the entire band, when Gomez
IfSPl
rode o^t before the prisoijew. Addressing them, ihe said: "Tou heard me say a few minutes ago that we would not waste good ammunition upon you and you were cowardly enough to believe that you would all be put to the machete. But I wish to inform you that we will not dull our weapons upon such blockheads. As Cubans, fighting under the flag of the oppressors of our country, you deserve death, each and every, one of you, the
ruled Cuba. Martinez Campos has murdered hundr^dsLof olir soldiers whom he has captured, but Maximo Gomes will -not' have the rworld believe that under the flag of Cuban liberty barbarous acts are perpetrated."
ENGLAND VS. AMERICA^
The Extent of the Coffee Habit. When one notices the difference in the average people of England and America regarding their diet and digestive abilities, some natural Inquiries come up. What does the Englishman eat that gives him such good digestion, and what is the reason for so imuch dyspepsia among Americans?
Rudyard Kipling makes out a "pie fbelt" through New England, and says its pathway is strewn with dyspeptics. The American's love for lard loaded pastry is probably the cause of .some trouble, but the apparently harmless coffee is without doubt the father of more stomach troubles in America than any other item of food or drink. Great Britain consumes about 30,000,00.0 pounds of coffee annually while America disposes of something like 330,000,000, nearly or quite eleven times as much.
Analytical chemistry disoovers the same poisonous alkaloids In coffee as are found in strychnine, morphine, tobacco and whisky. These slight poisons taken daily accumulate until the effect on the nerves arid stomach is pitiable with some people (who are peculiarly susceptible to poisons) the doses are continued from day to day witttiout knowledge of what is so surely destroying the
powers 0f
nerves and stomacil.
It is a trial to give up coffee, but a new beverage has made its appearance on the market which is so like Java coffee in its deep seal brown color and assuming the rich golden brown of thick Mocha when cream is added, that lovers of coffee who are denied its use, because of the effects, can ad-Qpt this new food-drink freely. The change in ta3te is so slight that many do not discover that any change has .been made. The new product is called Postum Cereal, and It is asserted by the manufacturer that, it consists wholly and solely of wheat and other cereals, carefully cooked and roasted in different ways. When the parts are mixed or blended a perfect breakfast beverage results, which contains the nourishing and healthful properties of the grains intended by nature for man's subsistence. It is worthy the trial of anyone who has trouble with coffee, or who desires to regulate their habits with due regard to health and longevity.
A reliable grocer will never offer a cheap or weak imitation of a genuine original article because he happens to make a little extra profit. But it is well to observe that when genuine Postum Cereal coffee is ordered that you get Postum and not a spurious imitation offered as "just as good."

WHY SPAIN IS ANXIOUS TO DIBPOMB
OFOOBA*
Great Britain's Possessions to the Ronth Atlantic—Her Reasons For Wanting To Mean New Territory.
Spate Is ready to give up Culbsfc
1
Her war In that counti^ has been
a
failure,' and now^ the Spanish government,' so ithe^ oricohtradicte^ rrnnor states, desires Eiigland to tkke feuba bit her hands. Spain is very much Indebted to Great (Britain, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. It iwould suit that government, considering tj|fe present complications at Cuba, to have England take this fertile island of the West Indies off •her hands In full payment of all iher debt3.
Cuba Is one of the most fertile and valuable of all the West India islands. It would be a great commercial advantage for England to secure this island. Nearly the whole of the West India isles surrounding Cuba are already under the British flag. To the. east, to the •north* to tlie south and to the "west, Cuba is hemmed in by British possessions.
The most formidable Island and British naval station adjacent to Cuba is that of Jamaica. This island ranks as the second naval station of England on the North American and West India coasts. Jamaica 'lies directly south of Cuba, at a distance «f 120.miles. Kingstown is the great naval station. The •whole place is well fortified and commands a prominent .position, so far as Cuba is concerned. Jamaica guards the lower windward passage from the East and West.
On the north Englknd possesses ihe whole of the Bahama grotrp, comprising 800 islands in all, the principal of which is Nassau, with New Providence as the capital. .These stretch nearly to the Florida coast. Their position completely guards the northward windward entrance to Cuba.
On the west England has British Honduras, which in turn commands the northwest windward passage to the north and south on the west Side of Cuba,
It is interesting to note how the British gained control of the section now owned by them in Honduras. But it is like all other acquisition of territory by England. It is a grand march of aggression and oppression. Wherever an Englishman or an English company sets foot, providing his foe is far the English inferior in strength,' it is difficult indeed to oust the Britisher from a foreign soil.
Early in the seventeenth century a party of Englishmen obtained a concession from the Spanish government to cut logwood and dyewood on the territory adjoining the Belize and Hondo rivers. This was the first step for England in securing control of that country. The Spanish tried repeatedly to oust the British on their territory from the beginning of the eighteenth century, but they were unsuccessful. The British maxim then, now and always has been, "Here we are and here we will stay," and they have stayed there-
Adjoining Cuba directly 'to the east is the island of Hayti, an independent republic. Stretching away from this island comes the group of West India islands, known as the Leeward Islands, the most prominent belonging to Great Britain 'being Barbados, Grenadines, Grenada, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Dominica, Antigua, Barbuda, St. Christopher's and Tobago, forming a complete chain around the leeward entrance from the east of Cuba.
The Great Bahamas, which form the windward group, are British possessions. The principal Islands of this chain are the Nassau, Androa Isles and Trinidad. This "latter island is considered from a commercial standpoint the most valuable of the whole of the British possessions in the West Indies. Port of Spanish, the capit^ is within fdrty miles-of the far-famed Trinidad pitch lakes. The island is mountainous at the coast and well fortified.
The entrance to the harbor of Grenada is through a narrow channel, with great hills rising perpendicularly on each side.
The whole of these islands, both windward and leeward, are commanded and within easy reach of England's greatest naval station in American waters. Thus it will be seen that from a strategic point of view, in the event of war, England has Cuba hemmed-in on ail sides and would prove a vast advantage to her. •St. Lucia and St. Vincent are among the two great coaling stations for the British fleet in the leeward islands. Thousands of tons of coal are continually kept on hand at those two Islands for the special use#of the English ravy
The nearest American point to Cuba is that of Key West, Fla. From this point troops could be readily dispatched to Cuba should England make any attempt to gain Control of the queen Island of the West Indies, which would prove to Great Britain more valuable in a commercial sense than all her other West India possesions combined. Not only would Cuba have a commercial value, but the island would greatly strengthen England's position in American waters should a war take place. Meanwhile the merry rumor goes along, and the war scare grows apace.
FELL INTO A SNAKE DEN.
James Morgan Attacked By the Reptiles and Fatally Bitten. Ligonier, Ind., Jan. 23.—James Morgan, a tramp, while trying to escape arrest near Nappanee, ran into a marsh near that place, where he hid. AH of a sudden the ground on which he was standing caved in for a space of about four feet around, and, tp his surprise, he found that he was in a den of rattlesnakes. The snakes attacked him, and by superhuman efforts he freed himself but not until he was bitten so severely that death seems certain. He was immediately brought back to the town, where medical aid was given.

His custodians say that he was the jolllest man in the party last night and he seemed to h-we no fear of violence at the hands of a mob. He admits havfng killed his ohild, but he claims that it. was 'by accident.

Fowler, Ind., Jan. 23.—Sheriff Morgan and pospe of Newton county, arrived in this city aibout 3 o'clock this morning, having in custody Albert Tollis, concerning whom a terrible story is afloat.

DEAL IN LONG WHEAT
OWING TO SUCET STORKS, TRADING WAS CONFINED TO CHICAGO#
Report That Damage to ArgeaMae Wheat Is Exaggerated Cawed aFaale Among- the Bolls*
Chicago, Jan. 23.—A great geal of long wheat was 4oM out today and a tot of short wheat was covered aflso the net resndt ctf wfalch was a decline for the day of Ke per bushel. Corn wps a shade easier with wheat and provisions a trifle $dgher. because of the small hog receipts. Tne sleet storm caused such poor working of the wires that the trading was conflened largely to home talent. The sleet storm with a drop of 20 to 25 degrees In the temperature predicted for tonight raised apprehensions in the minds of a number of •the local traders concerning the wheat planted and May, opening from 63c to 63%c bid, was quickly run ud to 63%c, half a cent above yesterday's dose, but soon reacted to 62%c.
Liverpool cables quoted an advance ot only %d@&d per cental a* the opening as against fc per bushel rise yesterday here, and a later private dispatch quoted Liverpool closing %d lower and said Argentine Wheat damage exaggerated."
The market Were was very nervous during the entire session but the most, anxious party in the last half hour was the bulls. The price Surged up and down twice between 62Ko and 63c but had 7 IS o'clock to G2%c. Much th came from the buy000 budhels almost all for account of Ed Partridge. After a drop to 62%@&c, a rumor that Russia and lurkey had come to an agreement, presumabyl to the exclusion of the other European powers, caused a sharp Tally to 62%o at which the market closed.
Corn—Trade was rather light and the market inclined to drop but the storm, it was thought, would lessen farmers' deliveries for a time and that helped prevent radical weakness. The opening for May was practically unchanged at 29V«c was immediately folto low
and that
by sales at 29%c, which Was the highest It reached. It was down around 29c about half fn hour from the close and closed at 29^*0.
Oats were quiet and fluctuating in a narrow range unchanged with wheat and corn. May opened at 20%c to 20%c. sold at 20%c down to 2096c. ind closed with sellers at 20%^*%c.
Provisions were quiet all day with tradIng light Fluctuations were narrow.
