THE Ev EN1 N‘ GGA z E T 7T E JAPAN AND HAWAII AGREE. The Critical Point in the NegOila- ‘ tions Passed. , Washington, Oct. 26. —-News has been received here that the differences be- tween Hawaii and Japan, which threatened to involve the United States on account of the negotiation of the treaty for the annexation of the is- lands, have reached a point where a satisfactory settlement is in sight. The critical stage in the proceedings has passed and the Honolulu and Tokio Governments are now engaged in an amicable correspondence, free from the tinge Of bitterness which characterized previous diplomatic notes. At one time there was every reason to fear that Japan would not agree to a settlement by arbitration, but she has disappointed those enemies of an- nexation who hoped that trouble would break out between the two countries by acquiescing in the proposition of Hawaii, said to-have been made at the suggestion of this country; to submit the questions at issue to arbitration. L. M. Thurston, former Minister of Hawaii to the United States and one of the Commissiners sent to this coun- :ry to negotiate an annexation treaty, has returned to Washington from a lecturing tour. He says that Japan’s Eatest note to Hawaii on the subject of the differences between them was most conciliatory and cordial, and he ex- pected the matter to come to a head in a short time. James B. Castle has been appointed Secretary of the Hawaiian Legation in Washington. WARNING TO CATHOLICS. Archbishop Cleary Forbids Them to Attend Non-Catholic Mafringes. Ottawa, Oct. 26.—Archbishop Cleary has created a sensation by his procla- mation, in which he says: “We hereby declare, with all the au- thority of the Church vested in us as Archbishop of Kingston and your chief oastor, that any Catholic in our metro- politan city or diocese who shall here- after presume to enter any non-Cath- olic edifice to assist at what is termed a marriage ceremony or service for the :lead, even though he 'should not take any active part in the performance, renders himself guilty of mortal sin by dishonoring the religion of his bap- tism and defying the laws of the Holy Church and giving pu'blic scandal be- fore society. We furthermore reserve to ourselves alone the power to absolve from this heinous sin.” The occasion for this mandate was that of a recent marriage in 8. Con- gregational Church at which Catholics were witnesses. His Grace also rep- rimanded Catholics who- attend a service for the dead in non-Catholic churches, in view of the fact that the performance is known and proclaimed by its participants as" of no service to the dead.

Smuggling Potatoes. Watery 111e, Me., Oct. 26. —Deputy Col- ector Whitney, of Fort Fairfield, seized on Saturday morning 1,000 barrels of potatoes in the warehouse of P. H. Reed, which had been smuggled from the New Brunswick side. This seizure was the result of investigations of the Deputy Collector, who had known that ootatoes‘were being brought‘across the ine without the payment of the neces- Iary 25 cents a bushel duty on them. Owing to the short crop of potatoes in Aroostock County this year the smug- Iing is very much worse than before. Reed is the largest potato buyer in Maine and has alweys bought largely ’rom the New Brunswick farmers. Cornell Dam Strike Settled. New York, Oct. 26.—The strike on the Cornell dam has been settled.

WashingtOn, Oct. 26.—Only an inkling of revolting horrors of starvation and desolation prevalent throughout the is- land of Cuba have as yet reached this country, because for months no ade— quate knowledge of the conditions of the interior and small towns has been available. But from the chief city of Havana, where the suffering must be least, compared with other portions, al- most incredible accounts Of the bar- barous results of Spanish misrule con- tinue to multiply in official records. Yesterday an official statement was delivered to the President which shocked him beyond measure. It was- the iegular weekly report of Dr. W. F. Brunner, sanitary inspector of the United States Marine Hospital at Ha- vana. WithOut the change of a word it is as follows: “The death rate is assuming alarm- ing proportions in this city, and the deaths from intestinal diseases, due to insufficient food, among the poorer classes amount to about two-fifths of the total deaths. An inspection of a pest hole known as Los Fosos was made by me on Thursday, Oct. 14. This place has been set aside for the country people sent to Havana. Los Fosos con— sists of a large wooden building about 150 feet in length and 60 feet in width. The building is situated in an inclosure which is used for the storing Of carts of the municipality. “There were 500 people found in and Liround this building, and of that num- ber over 200 were found lying on the door sick and dying. 1 saw no child under 10 years of age who could be considered in good health. They Disease .were invariably suffering from some form of enteritis or dysentery. The emaciation of their bodies was star- tling. This place is not a hospital, but simply a place Of residence for these people. A conservative estimate of the death rate of these people would be about 10 per day. The number is re— cruited by fresh accessions from the country. “There were over 150 children below the age of 10 years, and I did not,ob— serve one whose chance for living thirty days under the existing circum- stances was good. “There are two other such places in the city where the same conditions ex- Ist. The hospitals, civil, are refusing patients. One of them, well known to me, the Mercedes, capableof holding 200 patients, now has nearly 500, and has refused to admit any new patients until that number can be reduced. “During the week there were thirty- ane deaths from starvation recorded; reality twice that number has oc- curred. " In a separate report Dr. Brunner says lt is reported to him “that bodies of persons buried at Guanabacoa, a small town three miles east of Havana, are being disinterred to make room for new burials, and that the stench from bod— ies not buried a year is unbearable. I should state that- it is the custom to remove the remains of persons after they have been buried five years unless the ground is again paid for, but it seems in this instance that less than one year had intervened.” Dynamited a. Bank Safe. Webster City, 1a., Oct. 26.—Three masked burglars robbed the State Bank of Blairsburg yesterday morn- ing. They used dynamite and the ex- plosion shattered the large plate-glass window and badly wrecked the bank building. They secured $6,000 worth of securities and a small amount of cash. When the first explosion occurred it awoke half the town. James Conners’ yells frightened the burglars, and al- though they had prepared dynamite for the second explosion they lost 110 time In escaping. In the darkness two of the burglars mistook their “pal” for a policeman and shot him down. He is named Tames Gillicoin and is not expected to live. The Rescuer of the Cuban Girl. Washington, Oct. 26.—This evening Mr. Karl Decker’s newspaper friends will tender him a banquet, at which it is expected Editor Hearst, of the New York Journal, will be present. This banquet will close the public demon- strations in honor of the Cuban girl and her rescuer in Washingtbn. It is Mr. Decker’s present intention, unless, of course, he receives. some oth- er assignment, to continue in Washing- ton as the representative of the Jour- rial during the coming session of Con- gress. It is thought that Senorita Cisneros will make her home in Washington, and will probably enter some private school or institution to complete her ed- 1cation. Yaw-net] Her Jaws Loose. Willia‘msport, Pa, Oct. 26.—Miss Ella Lilly, of Montgomery, while walking along the street yesterday, yawned so hard that her jaws became unlocked. She thought her false teeth had wedged between the jaws, and after re- moving the teeth and finding no relief the girl ran screaming through the street. It required the combined services of a doctor and two men to get her jaws oack in place. She suffered most ex- cruciating pain. Will Make Speeches in New York. Chicago, Oct. 26.—Mayor Taggart, of Indianapolis, and several well-known Indiana Democrats, will go to New York with Mayor Harrison and the Cook County Democracy to work for the election of Tammany’s candidate for Mayor.

A Disease that is Numbering its Vic- tims by Hundreds of Thousands. Constipation is a disease that stops the machinery of the body. It puts every organ out of condition. Dis-‘ ease spreads into the entire system, all be- cause there is a little Obstruc- tion in the bowels. People say their heads trouble them. They have no energy. They can’t sleep. -They are nervous. Appetite is poor. Down‘ at the bottom of all is constipation, which is one of the things that Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy always cures. Here is proof: Mrs. Julia A. Yeaple, of Kingston, N. Y., says: “If it were not for Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy I think I should die from constipa- tion. It gives me an appetite, pro- duces refreshing sleep, and cured me of a nervous affection I had for years. I could not live without it.” All druggists sell it for 81 a bottle.
