CKISIS PREDICTED.
administration May Be Forced
10 Interfere IN Cuba.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 10
The beginning ofthe end is In
sight. The administration has
finally been forced into a posi-
ton where it is compelled to
abandon It's Spanish friends
and espouse the cause Of Cuba
President Mckinley and his
cabinet have cat supinely by
during the past year and wit
messed the butchery and starv-
ing of more than half million
people. But now that the Re-
publican party finds itself on
the verge Of wreck and dissoln-
ton by reason of internal dis
sensions and broken pledges,
the President allows his official
representative, G.. s. Russell,
assistant attorney general, who
has just returned from a trip of
investigation to Cuba, to speak
for him and announce that the
United States must come TO the
rescue.
Mr.. Russell's report on the
condition of affairs in Cuba is
no news to the President. He
has long known the true situa-
ton there from the reports of
Consul General Lee, Consul
Walter Baker and his private
agent, bat it did not suit his
ends 10 assert his policy. Pres
ident Mckinley has long held
this card up his sleeve, await
ing the proper time to play it,
whenever the American people
become too FESTIVE under the
administration pro-Spanish
policy. These facts are so we'll
understood by all classes in
this city lhut they are discuss
ed as mere matter Of course
Today's events, however, point
unequiVocally to trouble with
Spain.
There will be American war
ships in Havana herbor in not
less than thirty days, it is pre-
dic!ed.

Mr.. KLEBERG ia reported as

it is to be feared that be is too

desperate effort to bring eXpen-

enormous surplus, such as

Jeff in the treasury, and though
the extravagance which grew
out of the reckless distribution
of that enormous STRATUS has
become almost habitual, yet Ii
is absolutely necessary for the
present administration to keep
down expenses as much as pos
sibls, to avoid going before the
people in 1900 with a big de-
hcit TO account for. This IS the

No trouble Is more common or
more misunderstood than nervous
dyspepsia. People having il think
that their nerves are TO blame and
are surprised that they are not cured
by nerve medicine and spring reme-
dies; the real seat Of the mischief is
lost sight of; the stomach is the
organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the sto-
mach, nor perhaps any of the usual
symptoms of stomach weakness.
Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not
in the stomach so much as in nearly
every other organ in some cases the
heart palpitates and is irregular; in
others the kidneys are affected; in
others the bowels are constipated,
with headaches; still others are
troubled with accumulation OF gas,
sour rfsings and heartburn.

a NOTABLE OCCASION.

Corner Stone of New Administration
Building Laid at Drew Seminary.
An important event in the history of
Drew Theological Seminary took place
on Tuesday, the occasion being the lay
ing of the corner stone of the new adj
ministration building, which, through
the generosity of friends of the Semi
nary, is to be erected at a cost of
800, 600
The services began by addresses in the
Methodist Episcopal Church at II a. m,
the principal speakers being Bishop An
drews and Rev. w. II. Milburn, chap.
lain of the United States Senate. After
singing hymn Rev. j. M. Buckley,
d. D., led in prayer. DIR. Upham then
introduced Bishop Andrews, who, after
expressing his regret at the absence of
President Buttz, said it was day of
congratulations. He gave a brief out
line of the Seminary's history, which be-
gan thirty-one years ago with very
small classes, and said the attendance Of
students now was an evidence of its
educational value.
DIR. Upham followed with happy
speech. He said, according to rhetori-
cal rule, the weakest argument was al
ways placed in the middle of a speech.
He said he felt quite at home in that
position. He spoke of the illustrious
names of the past presidents of the
Seminary, DIR. McClintock, Randolph s.
Foster and Bishop Hurst being among
the number. Speaking of the number
of graduates of Drew now in the minis
Try he said 200 men today attested the
value of their training at the institution.
Some were in Africa, some were pro-
fessors in the schools and some had gone
to reinforce the ministry in other
churches.
DIR. Upham was followed by Chaplain
Milburn, who made a profound impress
sion upon all present by the deep spirit
uality of his address.
After the addresses procession was
formed and the march began to the new
building. The corner stone was laid
with simple but impressive ceremonies
by Bishop Andrews. A collation. was
afterward partaken of in Mead Hall.
