CABINET ATTENDING TO DETAILS
Discuss Tariffs for Cuba aud Puerto
Rico aud Other hdministra-
tiOn Matters.

Washington, Aug. Sat this mo-
ment the peace negotiations are in n
state Of quicscence. This statement is
by members of the cabinet at the close
of today's session. Nothing has been
heard from Madrid directly or through
Cambon since yesterday, and at the
meeting of the cabinet today the mat
ter was not mentioned except Incl
dentally, the session being taken up
with administrative details.
The Cuban tariff was discussed at
some length, particularly the tobacco
schedule, and It was agreed that the
rates of the internal revenue now in
force in the United States be made
the customs rates from Cuba. The
question of revising the port charges
at Cuban ports was also under discus
sion, and it was decided TO leave the
matter to the secretary of the treas
ury. Gage will make a very material
| reduction from the Spanish rates. In
fact, they will probably be reduced to
| one-fifth of the present rate.
The question of II customs tarlt Tor
Puerto Rico was also discussed and il
was the opinion Of the president and
cabinet that as soon as the island
passes into the possession OF this
county the customs laws and regula-
tons now in force in the United States
will be made to apply to Puerto Rico
without modification.
As to the situation at Santiago it
was said that four regiments will be
embarked for the United States -.
morrow and others will follow as rap
idly as practicable. 1t is expected
that before the close of the coming
week nearly all the troops will have
left that part of the island. A mes
sage from Shaftcr was read, in which
he reported that yesterday the dis
charges from the hospital were over
200 in excess of the number of sick adj
mitted. This leads the officials to be-
lieve the seriousness of the situation
may have been overstated, but this
fact will not in the least interrupt the
prompt departure of the troops.

CUSTER CHRONICLE
JOSEPH KUBLER PUBLISHES

The enlistment of a Chinaman In the
volunteer army in California reminds
the Washington Post that there was
but one Celestial in the war Of the re-
bcllion. His Chinese name is unknown,
but the name under which he enlisted
was Thomas Sylvanus. He was born
IN Baltimore about eighteen years be-
fore the outbreak of the war. When
only q child he was taken to Pitts
burg, where he acted Ms a servant for
n wealthy family in that city. When
the war broke out Thomas ran away
and enlisted In the army. He served
Uncle Sam until the close of the war,
shortly after which he turned up in
Indiana, Pa, where he resided until
his death, which occurred a few years
ago. While In the service of the United
States Sylyanus contracted a disease
of the eyes, from which he almost
went blind. In 1880 he applied for and
was granted n pension of $12 per
month. He also secured several hun
bred dollars back pension. An exam
nation of the records discloses the
fact that Sylvanus was the only China
man in the late war, and, consequent
~, the only one of his ace who drew
q pension. At last accounts his widow
and children were still living in In
diana, Pa.

FLAG RAISED AT CAPE SAN JUAN

Hang or Shore While the
Troous Land,

'soOp' ANNh"
or Santiago, Peurto Rico, by the
Herald's Dispatch Boat Sommers y.
Smith, to st. Thomas, ID. w. L., Aug. s.
Another successful landing on the
island of Puerto Rico was made by
the Americans ut daybreak yesterday
morning, and the stars and stripes
now wave over Cape San Juan. The
Puritan, the Amphitritc and the Mont
gomery, which have been cruising
about the northeastern coast of the
island awaiting the arrival of the
army transports, approached Cape
San Juan early yesterday morning,
and a small party, made up of men
from each of the American vessels,
was sem ashore at daybreak. The
landing party was in charge of Lieu
tenant Commander James II. Selfridge
Of the Puritan( Lieutenant Field of
the Amphitrite and Lieutenant Atwa-
ter Of the Montgomery. They took
possession Of the lighthouse and
raised the American flag.
No opposition to the landing of the
American party was offered, and this
leads to the belief that the S]pauiards
have abandoned the Fajardo battery.
Lieutenant Dresil of the Puritan,
with DR.. Hncock and Ensign Bierer,
went in behind Obispo island with a
launch and took as a prize the schoon-
cr E~ncarnacion and the sloop Guerra
Flora.
All the small towns in the eastern
part of the island evidently are anX-
ious to surrender peacefully.
The Annapolis, which has been
cruising off Cape San Juan, watching
for American transports, found the
Whitney, the Florida and the Raleigh
wandering aimlessly along the coast.
The officers in charge of the trans
port on which was troop A of the Fifth
cavalry, wcaried of waiting for the
other transports and have gone to
Ponce. The complications growing
out Of the blunder in regard to the
place of rendezvous for these trans.
ports thus IRE increased.

AIDED BY r PINKHAM.

Mrs. w. L. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that l add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
after the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. l had leucorrhCca badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until l could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.

but it seemed to do no good. / was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when l read your advertisement in a
paper. 1 sent at once for a bottle of
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds Of
the bottle I felt so much better that I
send for two more. After using three
bottles 1 felt as strong and well as any
one.
81 think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady l meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is d wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify m
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax

fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's

NO WORD RECEIVED FROM DONs
sagnsta Has Remained Silent for
Two Days on Peace Nego-
tiatiOns.


Washington, Aug. S.-When the
president closed his official work yes
terday he had not received the reply
of Spain, o any intimation as TO
how soon the reply might be expected.
The French ambassador had not been
heard from throughout the day, and
he, as well as our government officials,
was waiting to give the final response.
Two days have o passed without n
word officially from Spain, either in
the way of inquiry or response. From
this it is clear that the Spanish cabi-
net fully realizes the time for argu-
ment, counter proposals or modifica-
ton has gone by and that there is only
one simple issue to be met, namely,
whether the American terms will be
accepted as a whole or rejected. There
is indeed reason to believe hat the
Spanish government has been directly
advised that the stage of negotiations
is past and that only the matter of an
answer, favorable or unfavorablc, re-
mains. That the answer has not come
yet is not n surprise to the officials
here, for they realize the tremendous
responsibility which Premier Sagasta
must assume in making these peace
terms sufficiently palatable to the
Spanish populace and the political
leaders to permit its acceptance with
out an internal convulsion. In his
conference with the president and
Secretary Day, the French ambassa-
dor has brought out clearly the great
task before Sagasta. 1t seems to be
the general view here that if the pre-
mier and his ministry were untram-
meled an acceptance would come at
once and that the preliminary peace
arrangements would be now closed.
But in preparing the Spanish public
and in guarding against political aSi-
tations hereafter by public men of
other parties, the Madrid officials are
taking time for missionary york not
only among themselves, but among all
the populacc and secret elements. The
best informed persons here fix next
Monday as the time when the United
States government is likely to receive
Spain's final answer, but this is sim
ply coniectural. There is the same
confident belief among officials that
there has been from the first that
Spain's answer will be a reluctant but
not the less conclusive acceptance. At
the same time it was suggested y~ester-
day in some quarters that there was a
possibility that the disclosures made
by the American general at Santiago
concerning the serious condition of
our troops might be a straw at which
the Spanish cabinet would grasp. This
- fJ 1a--,a,, n, thats. 10
a question whether the statement of
the general ever got outside the Dor
ders of the United States, owing to the
strict censorship imposed last night
Moreover, all evidence reaching the
officials here indicate that Spain is
weary Of the conflict and il convinced
beyond the slightest question to the
hopelessness of further opposition.

TOOK TOO MUCH LAUDANUM.

Overdose and Nearly
Died,

Ida Grove, la, Aug. S.-Mias Kelly,
n compositor in the employ of the Ida
County Pioneer, nearly killed herself
with an overdose of laudanum ycster-
day evening. She is troubled with Il
disease of the heart, and as she felt
that she was going to have an attack
of the disease again, she took lauda-
mum to head it off. Had not Colonel
Cobb, a young man aspiring To the
medical profession, called upon her at
the time he did it would probably
nave been some time before Miss Kelly
would have been able to be about. AS
it is, she is nearly recovered from the
effects Of the overdose. She is recon-
mended by the manager of the Pio-
neer as being the best hand that they
have ever had on their force.
