OUTLOOK FOR PEACE
Causes Spanish Bonds to Rise in the
Market.

New York, May 12.-Spanish fours,
which have been as low as 81 and which
closed last week at 29az, have gone up
to IS, says the London correspondent
of the Tribune. This unexpected re-
suit is explained on the street as due
to a growing feeling that Spain is not
prepared to risk another naval engage
ment, but will keep her fleet under the
shelter of Cadiz and accept the inter-
Vention of the powers. If this FEELING
were general, Spanish As would go
above As at once, but the rise has suf-
feed to convince many hopeful bankers
that peace is close at hand. They have
been talking freely among themselves
about the possibility of negotiating a
peace on the basis of Spanish with
drawal from Cuba and American retire
ment from the Philippines, with a war
indemnity payable from Madrid. They
have no facts upon which to base this
belief, except this sudden Improvement
in Spanish securities and the unex-
pected access of confidence in the res
toration of peace exhibited in Paris and
Vienna.
All reasoning about Spanish As is.
however, illusory. They will improve
in price if Spain were to lose all her
colonies, or if she were to have a second
naval defeat, just as they have risen on
the strength of reports that her navy
will not fight in West Indian waters
1t was the prospect of a protected war
with unlimited issues of paper money
which sent them down to q. They have
been rising since Admiral DeWey'S VIC
tory, because investors have reason to
hope that war will be over before the
printing press is we'll in operation.
Outside of financial circles there is
less hopeful feeling respecting the near
approach of peace. Among diplomats
the ouinion prevails that the ministers
have not dared to take the risk of an
other naval defeat which might upset
both them and the monarchy. Amy
ministry which proposes peace with the
United States will be overthrown. Sa-
gasta is described by those knowing in
timately as riding for a fall on some
side issue, so to be able to return to
office when some other premier has been
rash enough to treat for peace and has
suffered the penalty of extreme unpop-
ularity and popular vengeance.
So far as can be learned no we'll in
formed member of parliament or dip
lomat shares the confidence expressed
by men in the street that the war is
practically at an end.

ITALIAN REVOLT.
High Taxes and Oppression Respon-
sib1e for the Revolution.

London, May 1.-THE italian colony
in London is greatly excited by reports
from Italy. Various statements are
based upon cipher kilograms. Accord
ing to one rumor, at Naples, a regiment
fatty refused to obey orders to fire on
the people.
Father Bannin, of the Italian church
in Hatton Garden, London, says:
I'VE have been expecting a great rev.
olution for years, resulting from the
exorbitant taxation ground out of the
Italian people,"
Reports by way of various continent
tai cities are beginning to arrive for the
London papers, fully confirming the
early reports of the extreme gravity of
the situation.
The Times correspondent explains
that the bread issue is mere preteXt
for insurrection, prepared before hand
by associations of Navies and railway
employees in which a strong socialist
and republican leaven has long been
working. He says:
Besides many proofs of this state
ment it will suffice to say that the riot
ing is confined to the richest districts in
the country. Another strong political
motive underlying the movement is
the well known desire of the vatican
and the clericals to foment disorders,
hoping thereby to overthrow the house
of Savoy in favor of a republic which
might pave the way to a restoration of
the temporal power of the pope"

Cansunrtion Cured.

BROUGHT BACK from THE CRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 3Z5 w. Pearl ST., Ind1anaPo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing ITS
wonderful effect, the doctor advised ITS
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rar,id and complete, and in February he
ret,7rred- to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.

What se1f-renunciaticu and heroic purpose
was this! They drowned witches to be sure,
but that was no part of their puritanism. It
is to the puritan women we owe so much for
that spirit in our people which gives them
the fortitude to endure hardship and stake
life and fortune for their convictions.
The American women of to-day have tie
spirit of their puritan mothers, but their
constitutions are not rugged or able to en-
dure half the hardstiips of these New Eng
land ancestors. Very often they are run
down with weaknesses aud Irregularities
peculiar to their sex, and the constant drain
upon their vitality makes them chronic in
va1ids. Many women hesitate to go to
their family physician. because they dread
the local examinations so generally insisted
upon by practitioners.
Such women should write DR.. R. v.

Buffalo, N. Y, giving full description CT
their symptoms, history, etc, that he
can give them the best possible medical
