Correspondence Chicago Times. Washington, Nov. 28. Official ad vices received by the Government on yesterday and to-day indicate that we are involved in no inconsiderable diffi culties with Spain, whose officials in Cuba have for some time shown an utter indifference to the protection of the life and property of American citizens. The Cuban volunteers there have mal treated Americans, and driven them within a recent period out of Havana. This Government, aware of this, has repeatedly represented this condition of affairs to the authorities at Madrid, but without any other result than promises of early action, which were never ful filled. On yesterday affairs became so threatening at Havana that the United States Consul General telegraphed that American citizens and officials needed the immediate protection of this Gov ernment. The matter was brought to the attention of the Cabinet. An armed fleet of four or five vessels have been ordered, with all possible dispatch, to Havana, to be placed in immediate communication with Consul General Biddle. The commanding officer has received instructions in case the Cuban volunteers strike down the life and property of American citizens, to first demand apology and reparation. If they are refused, then he is required to open his guns on the city of Havana. The gunboat Nipsic, now at Pensacola, will leave, while the Terror, at Key West undergoing repairs, has been or dered into commission to be dispatched at once to Havana. Also, the Kansas has been ordered from the Brooklyn navy yard to the same destination, with all possible dispatch, while the Severn and Nantasket are on their way to Cuban waters. Admiral Lee, command ing the South Atlantic squadron, is now in Washington, but was active to-day by orders of the Government in dispatch ing up vessels so as to be ready for any emergency. Owing to the rigid censor ship over the telegraph at Havana but little is known here of the immediate events which have compelled Consul General Biddle to appeal for assistance, but the condition of affairs with Spain, arising out of the Hornet difficulty and the treatment of Americans in Cuba, is sufficiently shown by the diplomatic correspondence to warrant the Govern ment in the startling course it has taken. A company has been formed in St. Louis consisting of prominent mer chants, for the erection of a new Cham ber of Commerce building. The site proposed is the square bounded by Third and fourth and Chestnut ana Pine streets, one of the most central in the city. It is designed to cover the entire square with a magnificent build ing, and use such part of it for a Cham ber of Commerce as the members of that body may elect. This has received the approval of the Board of Directors and a majority of the members of the Chamber of Commerce, and the books for subscription to the capital stock will be opened immediately. The capital will be $1,000,000. A Paris Mystery. Correspondence of the New York World. The mysteries of Paris are endless. If any day you go to Pere la Chaise and quit Boulevard Voltaire (ex Boulevard du Prince Eugene) for Rue Bampon you will see a mansion which was probably built in the eighteenth century for the retreat of some wealthy farmer-general of the taxes while enjoying the honey moon of his last amour before custom had staled her novelty. There was more than a court, 'twas a garden in front of it, and a larger garden stood behind it. There are still a great many market gardens in this north-eastern quarter of Paris, which is farther from the heart and brain of this capital than Versailles or St. Germain, or even Mantes, the farthest of our suburban homes. Solitary as this mansion was it ap peared still more solitary from its want of animation. The door never opened. The shutters remained closed the gar dens were overrun by weeds. All these things would have atti acted little atten tion. There is many a deserted house in Paris whose very sight at summer's noontide would freeze your marrow, so dark are the walls, so moss-grown are the doors and shutters, so desolate, so mournful, is the look of everything about it. You might disbelieve in ghosts and still be unable to shake off belief that there ghosts (old masters and the guests of auld lang syne) re vived departed hours, holding revel from midnight to cockcrow, and witches kept unhallowed saturnalia. There are so many of these deserted, haunted houses in Paris, the sombre cloud which rested on the house in Rue Bampon had remained unnoticed, except for the change which came over it at night and if this change had been well ascer tained, certain it would have remained unchallenged but some people swore lights had been seen flashing through the interstices of the shutters, sparks had been seen flying out of the chim neys, and the roar of subdued voices (noisy despite every precaution, because they were numerous) had been heard. Then watch was set, and neither sight nor sounds met watchers' eyes or ears. Again people saw and heard all those things. Women crossed themselves whenever the unhallowed house was thought on; men talked of it with bated breath and looked at it only ask ance. Some said it was La Tour de Nesies. Girls were decoyed into it, rav ished, and murdered when lust cooled. Others were sure a gang of counterfeit erm prepared there fac similes of bank notes. These surmises in time reached the ears of the police. Investigation was made in the cautious tentative method always adopted in doubtful cir cumstances. The police has 'good rea son to be cautious for it is not enough to detect crime, criminals should be ar rested. To give notice of investigations on foot would be to give a warning which would put to flight all the birds of prey. The enigma seemed insolvable. The expertest policemen were ordered to examine the premises. Nothing could be discovered. The neighboring houses were examined from top to bottom. Nothing. Walls were sounded, still nothing. Nevertheless occasionally a gleam of light flashed through some crevice in a shutter, a spark flew up wards from a chimney, revealing life within the bleak house. The police were reinforced. The house was sur rounded, skirmishers were thrown out beyond this circle of policemen. At last a skirmisher, thrown out some two hun dred and fifty yards from t ho house, reported that he had seen people who moved cautiously and rapidly about midnight, disappear in a blind alley as if the earth had swallowed them. This alley was examined. In it the police discovered a subterranean passage. They entered it. It was so low they could advance only in single file and bent double. They were obliged at some places to go on all-fours. After going in this way two hundred and fifty yards they found further pro gress checked by a stalwart wrought iron door, which jeered all their efforts. They returned. Entered a housewhose blank walls had a small window on the fourth story which overlooked the gar den of the bleak house. The police procured a rope, entered this house and after securing the rope inside the house and tossing the other end into the gar den, they crept down the rope one by one. Their investigation of the house showed every door and window plated with wrought-iron. The Commissioner of Police remembered one of his police men was once a blacksmith. He ordered this brawny fellow to get the largest sledge-hammer he could procure. When he returned he swung the immense hammer over his head and brought it on the door with a force which splin tered the wood, started the bolts and broke the locks. Bang! bang! came two other blows, loud as thunderclaps The door was open. The police swarmed jn. 'xwas a great gamDimg-nouse. Many gamblers, terrified at the sounds of the hammer, lay fainting on the floor. A German Fable. A raven was crossing a field and saw a cuckoo preparing a soft bed behind a shady bush. That seemed very odd to him so he crept nearer and asked the cuckoo what he was making there "A bed, as you see," the cuckoo an swered shortly. A bed, what for the raven kept on inquiring, You are not going to lie on the ground As far as I know, you usually rest in a hollow tree." "It is not lor myseii, replied ine cuckoo, "but for that poor sick hen there, you see behind the bushes. See that poor creature," he continued weep ing, she fills my soul with pity she has not been well for a long time." "Beally an odd kind of neighborly love. I could never in the least have expected that of you," the raven cried in an ecstasy; and the bright tears floated down his raven cheeks, at the thought of this noble deed. "Yes." the cuckoo continued in a whining tone, this good hen laid me early every day, an egg; upon that I have hithertoo lived when I could get at nothing else, and how miserable I should be if she should die! I must perish. Yes, must starve in these famine times." Aha, so It is not precisely for the poor sick hen, but for the eggs you make the nest," croaked the raven, as quickly drying her tears she flew away. recently seized in New York city by the internal revenue officers.

Y., in his book on Chronic Diseases, says in regard to his Golden Medical Discovery, with which our readers are familiar, "from its wonderful power over Con sumption of the Lungs I had thought strongly of calling it my Consumptive Cure but from the fact that it is a per fect specific for the soro throat and hoarseness to which ministers and other public speakers and singers are subject, and also for Bronchitis, and all severe Coughs, and is an invaluable remedy for diseases of the Liver, and also as a Blood Purifier, I decided not to apply to it a name which might mislead and prevent its use in other diseases for which it is so admirably adapted. It will euro a cough in one half the time necessary to cure it with any other medicine, and it does it not by drying it up but by removing the cause sub duing the irritation and healing the affected parts."

Warm clothing alone will not protect the body against the consequences of the sudden depression of temperature which is concomitant of early winter. Flannel next the skin preserves the animal heat, but it does not impart animal vigor. That property is the special prerogative of Hostetter's 8tomach Bitters, which is therefore a specific protection against a majority of the complaints which are mot common at this season. For example, a course of the great vegetable invigorant, commenced now, will be almost sure to preclude chills and fever, bilious colic, disor ders of the stomach, constipation, and many other complaints which are often the direct or indirect effect of an atmosphere surcharged with cold, un wholesome vapor. Moreover, the system toned and regulated by this means is much more likely to resiBt pulmonary disease than it would otherwise be; for the influence of searching medicine pervades all the organs, and every fiber and tissue of the frame. Per sons whose vital powers are weak, especially invalid ladieB and the aged, are earnestly recommended not to face the winter's rigor without having recourse to this safe and Bufllcient means of reinforcing enfeebled na ture. Much Buffering may be escaped, much danger averted by following this council. Better late than never, is a good proverb, but it is better to be early than late. CHICAGO BUSINESS DIRECTORY.

Ko person can take these Bit ters according to directions and remain long unwell, provided their bones ore not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and the vital organs wasted, beyond the point of repair. They are a Gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, possessing, also, the pecuUar merit ot acting as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflam mation ot the Liver, and all the Visceral Organs. FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, In young or old, married or single, at the dawn ot womanhood or at the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters have no equal. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheuma tism and Gout9 Dyspepsia or Indigestion Villous Remittent and Intermittent Fe vers, Blseases of the Blood.

Keep the blood pure, and the health of the srstem wilt follow. Fin Tape, and other Worms, lurking In the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. Says a dintiiurulshed physiologist, there is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth whose body is exempt from the presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy elements of the body that worms exist, but upon tbe diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these living monsters of disease.

A remedy at hand for tho many pains and aches, wounds and bruises to which flesh is heir. Is more easily applied than many other remedies, never producing a bad effect, but always relieving pain, however severe. It is prepared by Mian Sencyer, who has used It in her own extensive treatment of the sick, for nearly twenty years, with great success.

Sprain; Burn; Fever Sores, Felon PimpU; Eryipeta, Sore Eye; Barber's Itch, 7eonss, BoiU, Ring-worm; Corns, Bites of Insects, Cancers, Toothache, Ear ache, Sore Jflpples, Baldness, StcolUn Breants, Itch, Scald Head, Teething, Chapped Hands, Scalds, Cuts, Bruise; Croup, Cracked Zips, and Sores on Children It never fails to car Rheumatism if properly applied. Rub it on well with tbe hand three times a day. In several cases it has cured palsied limbs. For Piles it has been discovered to be a sure rem edy. Persons that have been afflicted for years have been relieved by a few applications. For Ery sipelas it works wonders, allaying thcinflammatior and quieting the patient. For Chapped Hands it produces a cure Immediately. Let those with Salt Shewn obtain this Salve, and npply H freely, and they will nnd Jt invaluable. It is good in cases of Scrofula and Tumors. Cancers nave been cured with it. The best fialve ever invented for Swollen. Breast and Sore NippTes. No way injurious, but sure to afford relief.

Not among the least of the invaluable properties of Miss Sawyer's Salve are its beneficial effect on the hair. Rubbed on the scalp, in five or six different parts, it promotes the growth of the hair, prevents it turning gray, and on bald spots it pro duces a new growth of hair. No lady should be without this invaluable article as an indispensable cosmetic for the toilet. It eradicates dandruff and disease from the head, and blotches and pimples from the face. We, the undersigned, have been acquainted with Afiss Sawyer for many years, and believe her to be a Christian lady and a skilful nurse, and having used her salvo in our families, it gives xtm great pleasure In saying it is tbe best general medicine we have ever used: Rev.
