Cuba's New Minister.
His Appointment Confirmed by Close
Vote in Cuban Senate.
Havana, Juno 5?The nomination
of Senor Qaesada as Cuban minister
to the United States was confirmed
by a vote of 13 to 10, one senator not
voting. The corfimation was due
either to .the influence of President
Pal ma or to the desire of the senate
not to reject his first diplomatic appointment.
It is considered, nevertheless,
that Senor Qaesada was
morally defeated.
The economic corporations have

action is due to the fact that a Cuban

reach the desired end.

George Schaub, a well known German
citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio,
is a constant reader of the Dayton

paper aims to advertise only the best

Pain Balm advertised therein
for lame back he did not hesitate
in buying a bottle of it for his wife,
who for eight weeks had suffered
with the most terrible pains in her
back and could not get any relief. He
says: "After using the Pain Balm for
a few days my wife said to me,'Ifeel
as though born anew,' and before
using the entire contents of the bottle
tbe unbearable pains bad entirely
vanished and she could again take up
her house duties." He is very thankful
and hopes that all suffering likewise
will hear of her wonderful recovery.
