Riets in Austria and Spain.

DUE TO ANARCHISTS.

(By Telegraph) (Per R.M.S Sonomi, at Auckland) San Francisco, Feb 27 A despatch from Vienna says that the riots at Trieste are the gravest in Austria for many years. The original strike is supposed to be of Sooialistio or Anarchistic origin. Sixteen people have titer, killed, and it ie believed more than a hundred havß been wounded. There ia little doubt that the troopa were over hasty. The Imperial Premier explained that the offioer commanding was struck by a stone, and fell unconscious. '1 he officer nexb in command, becoming excited, gave the order to fire, which the troop _ did so recklessly, that they killed g* girl who was sitting in ft seoond-aeoond window, and a pos tal c!erk in his office. It is said that the rioters,who are mostly Italian*, became infuriated after the troops had fired on them, «.nd dragged the bleedin» corpses of their comrades before the soldiers, whom they assailed with terrible imprecations, as murderers and assassins. It is charged that the riotß in Bar celona are due to Anarchists. A cable from London, on February 220 d, says:—"Th" 80-oalW. labour riots in Spain were prp__ict"d here months ego. The iuform»tioa thon made public was obtained from the Ansrohiefc quarters in London, which proves beyond question that the bad business in Barcelona and elsewhere is no. due to genuine industrial discontent, but an organised revolutionary move ment It is also stated that the police la Barcelona captured documents, showing that London Anarchists fur nished »considerable amount of funds for the strikers, aud aided the organising of .bo outbreak,

The Anglo-Japanese Alliance.

[By Telegraph]

(Per EMS Sonoma, ab Auckland)

San F-.ANCI9OO, Feb 27

The iaeuaing, on February 11th, of a Parliamentary paper, at London, giving the term* of alliance between Britain and Japan for tho preservation of China and Corea, came as a great surprise to the British general public. It is, however, aaid to be no news that an understanding 60 a similar purport had been in existenoe^ for some time. This was an open diplo matio secret. Time only will chow the result of this pressure upon tbe plans of Russia. It was assarted in London that nothing ahorb of a greab crisis would lead Great Britain to abandon ihe policy of generations and form an alliance with another nation. Ib is also hinted chat the occasion to aot under the new treaty will arise aoon if at all. In the east tho treaty la regarded as by far the most Important move made in far Eastern politics for many years. Liberals in England see danger in the alliance.

It's a Manly Act.

The Release of Miss Stone.

(By Telegkaph. )

(Per RM S Sonoma, at Auckland.) San Francisco, February 27

A despatch from Oonatantiaop'e, dated February 23rd, announces that Miss Stone, the Ameriaan Missionary, captured by brigands in September laat, has been released, and hag reached Strnmltaa, in Macedonia. Miss Stone's friends had almost given op expectation of ever seeing her again, Madame Tsilka and her baby, the latter born in captivity, were released at the same time, all well. Mr Spencer, who conducted the negotiations at Constantinople for Miss Stone's re' lease, stated that it was entirely a politic!.! matter. All ihe people in Macedonia were entirely In sympathy with the kidnapping, because they believe it to be a Btep towards the freeing of Macedonia from Turkish rule. The money demanded, the 100,000 dollars' tansom, was intended for the Macedonian cause.

Indigestion and. Biliousness. CLEMENTS TONIC SUCCEEDS, I The Case of Mrs. ft. X CADE. (% a Special). | No. 58, Park-road, Addington. is the 'l residence of Mrs. Mary Ann Cade, who recently verified certain extraordinary statements which had arested the atten tion of a special writer. In answer to the reporter's question as to the nature of her remarkable experiences, Mrs. Cade said: — "The doctor told me I was suffering from indigestion and biliousness. I was really in a very perilous condition, and suffered enough torture to last me a lifetime. I thought I would never get over my sickness, in view of the fact that so many complications set in, and the doctor's medicines were in operative." "Can you describe your several ail ments, Mrs. Cade?" "I should rather think so. Abom inable stabbing pains came between my shoulders, and I was likewise afflicted w, the T tower part of my right side. When 1 had eaten a few mouthfuls of food my stomach felt as if it were over loaded, and immediately followed eruc tations of wind. The. wind moved back wards and forwards, causing terrible paroxysms of agony, besides promot ing an unnatural quick beating of my heart. These indications of disease frightened me considerably, and I had still greater reason to feel alarmed when I noticed my face become a deathly white, and my lips almost colorless. I was always drowsy and dejected, feeling as though there was nothing in the world for me to think about. For a while I could sleep fairly well, although I was troubled with nasty dreams, and never experienced any benefit from the slumber I obtained. In course of time, ..'however, I found it more difficult to get to sleep, being kept awake many a long night through, by anxious forebodings and bodily tor ment. Sometimes the dreams were so dreadfully repulsive that I suddenly awoke from them, and lay in a state of doubt as to whether they were real or not. I was exceedingly nervous and excitable, the most simple thing setting me in a frenzy of terror.". "How did your strength keep up 1 under the strain?" • 1 "I* soo» faded out of existence. I Weakness became so pronounced that I I could not raise a chair without con- 1 siderably exerting myself. If I sa t 1 down all day I still felt fatigued and weary; but I could not rest always. I had several attempts at doing a iittle work, the result being that I was soon completely prostrated with the effort besides having agonising pains darting through my limbs, and I could not stand up straight, j I was further weakened by periodical attacks of neuralgia. Ter ribly acute pains darted through my temples and worked up to the top of my head. These maddening pains often lasted, without a moment's respite, for a week at a stretch. My body was now as thin as a skeleton. My medical adviser said I would get rid of the neuralgia when I regained my strength. If I had to wait bill then I would have gone mad, because his medicines did not strengthen me in the least. ■ . I then tried several medicines, which I saw ad vertised, but they, too, failed to afford relief. Despondency beyond measure tell upon me. © Then a small booklet was handed to me one day, containing some marvellous cures resulting from the use of Clements Tonio, I ascertained that they were Hue, and then started on a course myself. That.was the turning point in my career, for I gradually gained an all-round improvement in my health. Considering the non-success of my doctor's and other medicines, it is really astounding how quickly Clements Tonic cured my complaints. First, my nerves were toned up, and the neuralgia was put under. Then my appetite came back in conjunction with the great reviver—sleep. The sick headaches and body pains departed one by one, leav ing my limbs lithe and active. A tinge of red came into my cheeks, and I threw off that distressing feeling of despon dency. Having the right physic at last I persevered with it till there was not a trouble of any sort unconquered. Neuralgia never affects me now, and my diseased liver was made healthy and sound by Clements Tonic." " May your statements appear in print ? "Yes. Many people may benefit thereby, so you can publish, ithese facts in any way you like." STATUTORY DECLARATION. I, Maky Ann Cade, of No. 58 Park Road, Adding ton, Christchurch, in the colony of New Zealand, do solemnly and sincerely declare that I have care fully read the annexed document, consisting of two folios and consecutively numbered from one to two, and that it contains and is a true and faithful account of my illness and cure by CSements Tonic and also contains my full permission to publish in any way my statements, which 1 give voluntarily, without receiving any payment; and I make this solemn declaration conscientiously, believing the same to be true, and by virtue ot the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand, Intituled •' The Justices ot Peace Act, 188 a."
