LONDON, Jan. 6.-There is a general
feeling in England, and it is reflected
on the stock exchange. that the sItua-
ton in the far east is improving. 1t is
believed the proposed Chinese loan of
RI6.000, 900 will be guaranteed by the
British government.
The Pail Mall Gazette refers TO the
''ascendancy of money over the mailed

Great Britain's vessels are anchored
off Chemulpo and at Port Arthur. This
is quietly implying that Great Britain
will have a voice in future arrange

GENERAL WOODS ACTIVITY.

Prevents the Sailing of a Steamer
without Sufficient Provisions.
Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 3-The
steamer Port Victor was to have LEFT
yesterday at noon for the United
States with number of sick officers
and men. Just before the hour fixed
for her departure General Leonard
Wood, military governor of the depart
ment of Santiago, went aboard. To his
amazement he found no provisions
specially suitable to sick persons. an
entire lack of delicacies and an insult
ficiency of medical supplies.
General Wood declares that hereafter
he will pay a personal visit to every
transport before it leaves the harbor
He thinks it very strange that, after
all the experience had here in this line
the medical department is not able tc
manage its affairs better, and that the
personal supervision of the command
ing general should be necessary.
General Wood had the vessel sup
piled in short order with Red Cross
stores and with an adequate amount OF
other provisions, and the transport left
the harbor in time to pass Moro Cas-
tie before shutdown. The Port Victor
should reach New York on Monday
next, as she is a fast boat.
General Wood is preparing a thanks
giving proclamation, being of this
opinion that the Cubans ought to give
thanks for the blessings they have
received. The Americans want to keer
the day in old fashioned style, and arc
writing to their friends in the north
to send on turkeys.

A Parsnip COMPLEXION.

1t does not require an expert TO detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes. the sallow
uarsnip- colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if yon had the
rheumatism, dull pain or ache in the
back or over the hips, stomach trouble,
desire to urinate often, or burning or
scalding in passing it,; if after passing
there is an dissatisfied feeling as if il must
be at once repeated, or if the urine has a
brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay NAV lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may run
into Bright's Disease. the most dangerous
stage of kidney trouble.

coyery of the eminent kidney and bladder

sPAN1ARDs HOLDING OUT

With the Hope of Getting Better
Terms From the Americans.
Washington, Nov. 3.-The admins
tration has had no direct intimations
from Paris that the Spaniards threaten
to break off peace negotiations, and il
is the belief of the president and his
advisors that the rumors published as
coming from Paris and Madrid are
merely mutterings given voice fol
special purposes.
The administration expects Spain to-
morrow to present a counter PROPOSE
ton in regard to the Philippines, and
by not accepting the American demand
for all the islands to refuse it in the
Spanish diplomatic custom by pre-
senting their side of the question, in
other words demanding a large sum
of money as a purchase price. 1t is
the opinion of the officials of the state
department that Spain will try to post
pone any final action on the matter
until after the elections next Tuesday
An adjournment will probably be taker
tomorrow until Monday or Tuesday
and the Spaniards imagine by holding
out they may be able to gain some
thing more.
