I I I I I m (DEFECT NOTES. Spain will during the present mouth add 303“) to the 54,000 troops assembled in Cuba, and should the exigencies of the 'ituaivon demand it, Will. in October. send on: another army of 40,000 men. The ex- pense of maintaining such a force will prove a tremendous strain on her finances, and the drafting of reserves is already ere mm: serious discontent in some of her prov:i:ces, but the government is plainly determinei to make any sacrifice rather than lose its hold on its last great transato lsutic possession. The insurgents are, however, equally determined, and as they have the se ‘t‘el sympathy, wherethey have not the open support, of almost the entire Cuban population, white and black, the task of suppressing them is one of exceed- ing difficulty. Although Spain has pitted against them her most competent general, and the struggle has now been in progress ‘or months, the rebel leader Gomez has steadily outmanceuvered his antagonist, and the revolt so far from showing signs of collapse, is constantly increasing in strength. The active force in the field is now said to number 16,000, fully two- thirds more than the largest force assem. bled during the ten years' rebellion ; and as the rebels know the country, are thoroughly acclimated, and wage a guerills war, the Spanish military problem is a difficult one. The solution attempted by General Campos was to confine the revolt to the province of Santiago de Cuba, in which it first broke out, {and his initial operations were directed to that end ; but Gomez, realizing that success depended on carrying on the war from many widely separated centres, broke through the Spanish cordon, and stirred up disafl'ection in the central provinces. The result is that the Spanish troops are forced to divide into small bodies, marched irapidly from place to place, that they are harried and attacked by theinsurgents,are weakened by disease, and are at no time able to grapple with the rebels in such force as to deal them a crushing blow. I Apparently,the only hope of Spanish suc' cess lies in capturing the leading insurgent chiefs, or in such a vigorous blockade of the island as will deprive the rebels, who must Import all their stores, of ammunition, a matierwhich,owing to thelongconstlineaud the vicinity of neutral ports,will be hard to accomplish. But even should the revolt be put down, the dissatisfaction of the Cubans will not be removed without a radical change of the system on which the island is administered, a system intended to benefit Spain without much regard to the hardships it may impose on the Cubans and the evils of which have of late years been greatly augmented byeconomic depres- sion. Indeed, it is doubtful whether th mass of the Cuban people would now accept any reforms at the hands of Spain in return or continued allegiance, though there is an important party on the island which would prefer the Spanish connection to independ- ence, could a full measure of local self government be secured. The Autonomitts believe that the Cubans are not yet suf- fiCentIy advanced for a republican form of government, and fear that the demand of the negroes, who constitute the majority of the population, for equal rights with the whites, would render orderly administra- tion impossible. However this may be, it is evident that a continuance of thezpresent system can only end in chronic insurrection, and that if the island is to be worth keep- ing at all, some concessions must be made to moderate demands for a change. Live Stock Trade. The reports of this season’s live stock trade are very satisfactory. From the Department of Agriculture it is learned that at the port of Montreal 29,449 sheep were exported during August, making a total for the season of 72,341. For the corresponding period last year the ship- ments aggregated 60.977. In ISI|3 we ex- ported only 71‘.’ shot-p up to the Correspcud. ing date. In the cattle trade a similar improvement presents itself. In August last 155:9 head of cattle were shipped, making a total for the season of 60,2l6. as agsinst a total up to thecirre~ponding date in ISM of 55,332. 0i horses 1,039 were shipped during the month oi August, matting 3,251 for the season, whereas up to the same date last year we had exported only 3,174. ,.__..._____, Pure Philanthropy.

THE PASTOB'S WIFE. An Interesting Interview With Mrs. (Rem) F. R Stratton. Threatened With Paralysisâ€"Weak, Erna elated and taxable to Stand Tongue- Pink Pills Restore sler Health: From the Napanee Beaver. The Rev. 1“. B. Strattcn, of Selby, is one of the best known ministers in Bay of Quinta conference, of which body he is the President. During the two years Mr. Stratton has been stationed at Selby, both he and Mrs. Strattou have won hosts of friends among all classes for their unassum~ ing and sincere Christian work. Some time ago M rs. Stratum was attacked with partial paralysis, and her restoration having been attributed to the use of Dr. \Villiams' Pink Pills, a reporter of the Beaver was sent to interview her. In reply to the reporter's question Mrs. Stratton said that she had been roatly benefitted by Dr. Williams' Pink ills, and was perfectly willing to give her experience that. these similarly afflicted might be benefitted. Mrs. Strattou said that before moving to Selby she had been greatly troubled by a numbnesscoming overheraides and arms (partial paralysis) which,wheu she moved; felt as though hundreds of needles were sticking in the flesh. For ver a year she had been troubled in th s way, with occasionally a dizzy spell. She was becoming emaciated and easily fatigued and was unable to get sleep from this cause. The trouble seemed to be worse at night time. Mr. Stratton had become greatly alarmed at her bad state of health, and it was feared that complete paralysis would ensue as Mrs. Stratton's mother, the late Mrs. Weaver, of Ingersoll, had been similarly stricken, at about the same age. Knowing a young lady in Trenton, where Mr Strattcn had been previously stationed,who had been cured by Dr. Wil liama’ Pink Pills,it was determined to give them a fair triaL When Mrs. Stratton began using the Pink Pills she was very thin and her system badly run down, but after taking the pills for a time, all symptoms of paralysis disappeared, and she found her health and strength renewed and her weightincreased. Mrs. Stratton is about fifty years of age, and a more healthy, robust, and younger looking lady is seldom seen at that age. In reply to the reporter’s inquiry as to what Pink Pills had done for his wife, Mr. Strabton said, “Look at her, look at her, doesn’t she show it,” and the reporter could not but admit the truth of the state- ment- These pills are a positive cure for .all troubles arising from a vitiatcd condition of the blood or a shattered nervous system.
