SIGSBEE AT HOME.
He is Ready for Any Duty to Which He
May he Assigned


Washington, March 20. Capt. Sigs-
bee, Of the wrecked steamer Maine,
arrived in Washington this morning
from Havana at "A o'clock He was
accompanied by Paymaster Ray Chief
Engineer Howell, Naval Cadet Holden
and DR.. Heneberger. The latter left
Immediately for his home in Virginia.
The Captain was Immediately driven
to his home at 1882 Riggs Place. The
Captains neighbors on both sides of
the square on which he lives had pro-
fusely decorated their residences with
f1ags and bunting and many of his
friends and fellow officers had sent
large bouquets of American beauty
roses and flower designs of ships and
anchors, as an expression of their
friendship and esteem.
At half-past ten o'clock the Captain
went to the Navy Department to report
his arrival, and in the course of con-
versation he said that he had not yet
received any assignment to duty nor
ala he know what command would be
given him. He would be ready, how
ever. as soon as he could get his ward
robe replenished to go anywhere or
perform any duty that might be given
him. He has not yet made any formal
written report TO the department on
the loss OF the Maine, but would do so
as soon as he had little time at his
disposal.
AS to the cause of the wreck, Capt
Sigsbee said that he could add nothing
TO his testimony before the court Of
inquiry which had already been pub
lished. The Spanish officials were
making an inquiry into the cause of
the disaster, but what their conclusions
were, if any had been arrived at, he
did not know A few divers under
the direction of some non-commission-
ed officer, were working leisurely about
the wreck, but he had understood that
the court was paying special attention
to outside matters. They had found,
he had heard, that there were no dead
fish found in the harbor after the ex-
plosion and also that the explosion
did not create such a disturbance OF
the water as might have been expected
had the force come from the outside.
However, this was only hearsay, he
having no knowledge of their proceed
ings.
The Captain said that as every one
knew, tne general Keeling among Span
iards in Havana was bitter against
this country, but he did not know
whether the proposed sending of gov
ernmental aid would meet with any
serious opposition. The Captain said
he knew very little of the general sit
uation, and therefore had formed no
opinion as to whether this country was
likely to become involved in war with
Spain. Residents of Havana he said
knew little or nothing of what was
occurring in Madrid beyond what is
reported in American newspapers. The
Captain seemed in good health and
spirits considering the intense strain
that had been upon him during the
last six weeks and felt himself phys
ically fit to perform any duty which
should be assigned to him.

The PROBLEM SOLVED,
THE NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY
TESTED
Results of tho Test in Various Forms al
Dyspepsia.

Results of tho Test in Various Forms Of
Dyspepsia.
Chronic indigestion or dysnepsia
while very common trouble has for
some time been looked upon bv able
physicians as a serious thing and that
no time should be lost in treating il
properly at the start, because recent
researches have shown that the most
serious, fatal and incurable diseases
have their origin in simple dyspepsia
or indigestion
Diabetes is simply one form of in
digestion, the sugar and starchy food
not being assimilated by the diges-
tive organs. In Brights disease the
albumen is not properly assimilated.
While consumption and dyspepsia
are twin diseases, and it is beyond
question that dyspepsia makes a fer
tile soil for the seeds of consumption.
But the trouble has been to find a
remedy that could be depended upon
to cure dyspepsia, as it is VIGOROUSLY
obstinate and difficult to cure.
This has been the question which
has puzzled physicians and dyspeptics
alike, until the question was solved
three years ago by the appearance of
a new dyspepsia cure in the medical
world known as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, which it was claimed was as
a certain, reliable cure for every form
of stomach trouble
Physicians, however, would not ac-
cept such statements without first Civ
ing the new remedy many tests and
carefully observing results.
For three vaarc rba rayocdv ha banp
thoroughly tested in every section of
satisfactory results.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can be
honestly claimed to be a specific, a
radical lasting cure for indigestion in
the various forms of acid dyspepsia
or sour stomach, gas or wind on stom-
ach, too much bile, undue fullness or
pressure after eating and similar
symptoms resulting from disordered
digestion. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
were not placed before the public until
this three years trial left no doubt as
to their value and they have recently
been placed in the trade and can be
found on sale at all druggists at the
nominal price of so cents per package.
No extravagant claims are made for
the remedy. 1t will not cure rheuma-
tism, pneumonia, typhoid fever nor
anything but just what it is claimed to
cure and that is every form Of stomach
trouble.
No dieting is necessary, good whole
some food and plenty of it and you
may rest assured that Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets will digest it.
Druggists claim for it that it is
a pleasure to recommend it to dys-
peptics, because it gives such univer-
sal satisfaction.

match to the Herald from Washington
SAYS Havana's quiet is in danger of
being disturbed by another outbreak
such as occurred in the Cuban city
lust before the battleship Maine an
chored in it's harbor. Consul General
Lee has cabled to the State Depart
ment that the situation is critical
There is danger of further riots grow
ing out of the intense anti-American
feeling among the Weylerites.
In the light of Gen. Lees dispatch,
the administration authorities are quite
as much concerned about the situation
in Havana as they are over the fear
that Congress will attempt to force the
hand of the President 1t is now re-
garded as one of the danger points of
the situation.
The Navy Department is keenly on
the alert. The State Department
transmitted Gen Lees report to Secre-
tary Long and he at once informed
Capt. Sampson, commander-in-chie Of
the fleet at Key West, of the character
of its contents. Capt Sampson is in
direct communication with Consul

A WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska or the Klondike
Gold Fields

To Those Coming to Alaska or the KIondike
Gold Fields.
One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader COM
Ing to Alaska, to the Klondike. or the
Yukon country. and that is the peces-
slty for providing an adequate and
proper food supply. Whether procured
in the States, in the Dominion. or at
the supply stores here or further on,
this must be his primary concern. Up
on the manner in which the miner has
observed or neglected this precauton
more than upon any other one thing
will his success or failure depend
These supplies must be healthful and
should be concentrated, but the most
careful attention in the selection of
foods that will keep unimpaired in
definitely under all the conditions
which they will have to encounter is
imperative. For instance, as bread
raised with baking powder must be
relied upon for the chief part of every
meal. imagine the helplessness of a
miner with can of spoiled baking
powder. Buy only the very best flour;
it is the cheapest in the end Exper-
fence has shown the Royal Baking
IoWQSl W DS luS ulOSt ISlldDl6 anu the
trading companies now uniformly sup
ply this brand, as others will not keep
in this climate. Be sure that the bacon
is sweet, sound and thoroughly cured.
These are the absolute necessities up
on which all must place a chief reli-
ance, and can under no circumstances
be neglected. They may, of course, be
supplemented by as many comforts or
delicacies as the prospector may be
able to pack or desire to pay for

is published by the Royal Baking Pow
der Company, of New York. The re-

New York, March ga dispatch
to the Tribune from London says:
The abstract of the report Of the

destruction of the ship was caused by
the explosion of a mine on the port
