Most Prominence.
Madrid, Nov 2-Marshal Blanco, the
new captain general of Cuba, has sent a
cable message to the Spanish government
saying he has formed a favorable opinion
regarding the prospects for the pacifca-
ton of Cuba.
A semi-official note was circulated to-
day giving a moro exact indication of the
contents of the Spanish note in reply to
the communication of the United States.
1t says the note concludes with the assIr-
ance that Spain is moved by the same
friendly feeling as that expressed by the

said to have left the United States for
Cuba, which details are based entirely
upon the report of Mr.. Calderon, the for

Spain, in concluding that portion of her
reply to the United States, expresses the
hope that his phase of the situation will
be changed, and that the United States
Will try to prevent further violations OF
international law"
Replying to the offer of mediation made
by the United States, Spain saws she
hopes the United States will act Loyalty
and correctly in helping Spain to pacify
Cuba, especially In view of the fact that
such an extended form of autonomist gov

The general feeling of the note is more
hopeful of the outcome of the situation
since Marshal Blanco arrived at Havana.

CATARRH OF THE STOM-
ACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Eff.
fectuaI Cure for II.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to lncurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat-
Ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour or watery risings, a
formation of gases, causing pressure on
the heart and lungs, and difficult breath
ing; headaches, tickle appetite, nervous
ness and a general played out, languid
feeling
There is often a foul taste In the mouth,
coated tongue, and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen 1t would show a
Shiny, inhamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble Is found in treatment which
causes the food to be readily thoroughly
digested before 1t has time to ferment and
irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the
stomach. To secure prompt and healthy
digestion is the one necessary thing to do
and when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disappeared
According to DR.. Harlandson the safest
and best treatment Is to use after each
meal tablet composed Of Diastase. Asep-
tic Pepsin, little Nux, Golden Seal and
fruit acids. These tablets can now be
found at all drug stores under the name
Of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. and not be-
ing patent medicine can be used with
perfect safety and assurance that healthy

Mr. ". j. Booher of 271O Dearborn st
Chicago ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh is a local
condition, resulting from a neglected cold
in the head, whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes inhamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, thus producing catarrh of the
stomach Medical authorities prescribed

SOME PASSPORT REGULATIONS.
VexatiOus Restrictions I'm Russia
and Turkey.

From the Youths Companion.
There are few countries In which trav-
elers now require passports in order to pro-
mote their convenience and security. In
Brazil and Venezuela a passport must be
shown to the officials before one is allowed
to leave the country for a foreign port.
This Is vexatious measure, enforced APP
parently for the sake of enabling few
officials to collect small fees. In Cuba
passports are produced whenever travellers
arrive or depart. This precaution Is con-
sidered necessary in view of the political
condition of unrest prevailing in the island.
In Russia passport regulations are en-
forced with great stringency. No traveller

alleged illegal voting were disposed of in
the Center street court to-day. The last
was that of Capt. Benjamin R. Roberts,
U. S. A, who registered in the First cleo

that he is not entitled to vote from there
Capt Roberts explained to Magistrate
Mott that he had been in the United
States army for over thirty-three
years; that he had been on the
Pacific coast for some time
and had recently returned to Gov
errors Island. He contended that the
statutes provided that soldiers in the
army may vote from the place they are
stationed. Magistrate Mott said that he
was right, and dismissed the case.
