FREE GORE FOR MEN.
i
Mlehlgut Man Offers to Send His DIB
oovery Fiee.
Olaims to Da a Benefaotor to Weakened
Mankind.
Tliere is always more or less suspicion
ttUnchsd to anything that is offered free but
sometimes ft man so overflows with generosity
tint lie cannot Tost until his discovery is
known to the world, in order that his follow
men may profit by what he has discovered.
It is upon this principal that a resident of
Kalamaisoo, Mich., desires to send free to
mankind a prescription which will cure them
of any form of nervous debility ; relieves
them nf nil the doubt and uncertainty which
such men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural sire and vigor. Aail
costs unthing to try the experiment itwould
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack men
who never stepped to realise what might be
the final result, ought to be deeply interested
in a remedy which wilt restore them to
health, strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence of untold
misery. As tho remedy in question was the
result of many years research as to what
combination would be peculiarly ofTcctivoin
restoring to men the streugth they need, it
would seem that all men suffering with any
form of nervous weakness ought to write for
such n remedy at once. A request to II. C.
Olds, Uox 1712, Kalamaeoo, Mich., stating
that yon are not sending for tho prescription
out of Idle cariosity, but that yon wish to
make use of the medicine by giving ita trial,
will lie answered promptly and without
evidence as to where Information came from.
The prescription is sent free and although
some may wonder how Mr. Olds ran nfTord to
i?lve away his discovery, there is no doubt
about the offer being genuine Cut this out
and send to Mr. Ulrls so that ne may Know
who you came to write him. 12-88-78t

Memphis, March 30. The flood sit
uation In the vicinity of Greenville,
Mlas., is alarming. The reported break
at Wayside, nine miles south of that
city, Is confirmed, and the latest re
ports are that the water is pouring
through a crevasse 600 yards in width.
A telegram from Perthshire, 48 miles
north of Greenville, and Immediately
at the head of the fertile Tasoo delta,
states that n break has occurred In
the main levee. Special trains loaded
with laborers and saelurof sand have
been dispatched to the scene. If the
break at Perthshire assumes anything
like the proportion of the crevasse at
Wayside the destruction will be enor
mous. The waters will sweep over the
rich farm lands of Uoliver, Washing
ton, Sharkey, Issaqueena, Warren,
Tasoo and Sunflower Counties, In Miss
issippi, and the loss to stock and prop
erty will be appalling.
Ten thousand men line the leveeB
between Memphis and Vlcksburg. The
warning from the weather bureau at
Washington Sunday night Is having
Its effect. Many of the inhabitants ot
the delta have corraled their animals
on high strips of land, and moved
their families out of danger.. At Mem
phis the river continues to fall slowly.
A dispatch from Gunnison, Miss.,
Bays that a break in the levee is ex
pcted at Sunnyside, but it could no
doubt be averted If 150 men and mate
rial could be had at once., According
ly 100 white men were dispatched on a
special train from this city to the
scene-. The negroes nt Camp Congo
were offered $1 per daiy and all ex
penses to lend a helping hand, but,
with one exception, the offer was re
fused. There Is much Indignation
among the citizens at this action of
the negro refugees."
A late dispatch from Greenville says:
At 1 o'clock In the morning the levee at

St. Joseph. Mo., March 30. Coroner
Richmond atempted to hold an Inquest
dn the body ot Mrs. James Payne, a
negro woman who died undor circum
stances that are considered suspicious,
and the husband of the dead woman
and her neighbors objected. The cor
oner and constable were driven away
by a mob of colored men, headed by
Payne. They returned an hour later,
accompanied by nearly a dozen police
officers heavily armed, and the trouble
was renewed. A hundred negroes had
gathered, and they refused to give the
body up to the coroner. The police and
negroes fought with knives, clubs and
revolvers, while the body of the dead
woman was carled out of the house.
The fighting was twice renewed, but
the negroes were driven off. A number
were arrested.

The Cuban Commander's Appeal Against
tho Tj'ranny of Spain.
Chicago, March 30. The Record to
day says: "Mr. C. B. Crosby, whose
letters to The Record have appeared
over the signature of 'Don Carlos,'
Joined the army cf General Gomez
early In February, having- made his
way through the Spanish lines after
secretly communicating with the rebel
governor of the province of Santa
Clara, and receiving from him an
armed escort to the headquarters of
the Cuban commander. He was pres
ent at a number of the recent engage
ments, at whloh there was hard fight
ing. A letter from The Record's Ha
vana correspondent, Crittenden Mar
riott, gives the information that some
of Mr. Crosby's correspondence has
fallen Into the hands of the Spaniards
on its way through the lines, and the
Spanish authorities have been trying
to seize him. His last dispatch was
received March 24, havlng'been writ
ten in the camp of General Gomez,
near Arroyo Blanco, where he Is now
reported to have been killed.
"By the same courier, doubtless, was
sent the Important letter .of General
Maximo Gomez to President McKlnley,
published below. Mr. Crosby's copy of
this letter reached The Record office
Sunday, having come by mall, as It was
the desire of the Cuban commander
that it should not be published before
the original was In the hands of Presi
dent McKlnley.
"If Mr. Crosby has really paid with
his life for his courage and enterprise
the readers of The Record gain from
him as an earnest of his ability as a
correspondent knowledge of the re
markable letter which was sent by
General Gomez to President Cleveland,'
and which either went astray or waB
kept secret by its recipient, as well as
of this later communication, which
probably arrived at the White House
last night."
General Gomez's letter to President
McKlnley Is as follows:
"General "Weyler has arrived In this
district of Sanctl Esplrltu with a
numerous army. He oomes not to
fight nor to expose his strength to the
forces with which I defend these parts,
but as a sanguinary and cruel general,
who will avoid combats and spread
erjme and desolation everywhere. He
oomes to murder the peasants In the
Held, to kill the children and to drive
our persecuted and outraged women
to the woods, leaving their homes to
be burned, their hearths violated and
their gardens destroyed. This Is how
General Weyler pacifies Sanctl Es
plrltu, or wherever he may be. Then
he authorizes those who ask him for
bread for their children and allevia
tion for their miseries to go out Into
the country and to steal and destroy
whatever they may find.
"With this permit me to send you
a copy of a letter which I had tbe
honor to send your predecessor In of
fice, Mr.' Grover Cleveland. It hi the
hope that It may move you to sacred
action that Induces me to take up my
pen to trouble you:
"Mr. Grover Cleveland, President of
the United States:
"Sir Permit a man whose soul is
torn within by the contemplation of
unutterable crimes to raise his voice
to the supreme chief of a people free,

to me a place In your last message to

"Even more, I beg you do not regard
It as a request for Intervention in our
affairs. We Cubans have thrown our
selves into this war, confident In our
strength. The wisdom of the American
people should alone decide what course
of action you should take.
"I will not speak of the Cubans In

name of unarmed American victims of

wars of South American independence,
and that filled the cup of Iniquity In
the last war in Cuba.
It is natural that a people should
proceed thus who, by dint ot super
stitious and fanatical education, and
through the vicissitudes ot Its social
and political life, have fallen Into a
sort of physiological deterioration which
has caused it to fall back whole cen
turies on the ladder of civilisation.
"It Is not strange that such a people
should proclaim murder as a system
and as a means of putting down a
war caused by Its desires for money
and power; to kill the suspect, to kill
tbe criminal, to kill the defenseless
prisoner, to kill the helpless wounded,
to kill all who are able to impede Its
desolutlng action. All this is compre
hensible as the way that the Spaniards
have always understood and carried
on warfare.
But not to pause at the holy and
venerated hearth, personification of all
most noble, nor at women, emblem of
weaknesses; Jior at children, over
whelming symbol of Inoffensive Inno
cence, to bring upon these destruction,
ruin and murder, constant and cruel.
Ah, sir, how horrible this Is. The pen
falls from my hand when I think of it,
and I doubt at times human nature in
contemplating, with my eyes dim with
tears, so many hearths outraged, so
many women sacrificed, so many chil
dren cruelly and uselessly destroyed
by the Spanish columns.
"The Spanish, unable to exercise acts
of sovereignty over the Interior of
Cuba, have forced the peasants to con
centrate In villages, where it Is hoped
misery will force them to serve In the
armies of a government which they
abhor. Not only are these unhappy
ones forced to abandon the only means
by which they can live; not only are
they forced to die of starvation, but
they are branded as decided support
ers of our arms, and against them,
their wives and children is directed a
fearful and cruel persecution.
"Ought such facts be tolerated by
a civilized people? Can human pow
ers, forgetting the fundamental prin
ciples of Christian community, permit
these things to go on? Is it possible a
civilized people will consent to the sac
rifice ot unarmed and defenseless men?
Can the American people view with
culpable Indifference the slow, but com
plete extermination of thousands of In
nocent Americans? No, you have de
clared that they cannot; that such acts
of barbarity ought not to be permitted
nor tolerated. We see the brilliant In
itiative you have taken In protesting
strongly against the killing of Euro
peans and Christians in Armenia and
In China, denouncing them with evi
dence ot heartfelt energy.
"Knowing this, I today frankly and
legally appeal to you, and declare that
I cannot completely prevent the acta
ot vandalism that I deplore. It does
not suffice that I protect the families
of Cubans wlfb Join us, and that my
troops, following the example of civil
ization, respect and put at immediate
liberty prisoners of war, cure and re
store the enemies wounded and lire-
vent reprisals. It still appears ,thal
the Spaniards are umpmlable to nt
form of persuasion that' is not backed
up by force.
"Ah, air, the vicissitudes ot this cruel
struggle have caused much pain to the
heart of an old and unfortunate father,
but nothing has made me suffer as
the horrors with which I recite unless
it is to Bee that you remain indiffer
ent to them.
"Say to the Spaniards that they may
struggle with us and treat us as they
please, but that they must respect the
pacific population; that they must not
outrage women nor butcher Innocent
children.
"The American people march legiti
mately at the head of the western con
tinent, and they should no longer tol
erate the cold and systematio assassi
nation of defenseless Americans, lest
history Impute to them a participation
In these atrocities.
"Crown your honorable history of
Statesmanship w 1th a noble act of
Christian charity. Say to Spain that
murder must stop, that cruelty must
cease, and put the stamp of your au
thority on what you say. Thousands
of hearts will call down eternal bene
dictions on your memory, and God,
the supremely merciful, will see in It
the most meritorious work of your
entire life."
