INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
 Trouble.
INSTANTLY RELIEVED AND PERMA.
 NENTLY CURED.
"A New Discovery. Bnt NotA Patent Med.
 icine.

Dr. Redwell relates an interesting account of what he considers re- markable cure of acute stomach trouble and chronic dyspepsia by the use of the new discovery, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets.
 He say s: The patient was q man who had suffered to my knowledge l for years with dyspepsia. Every thing he ate seemed to sour and create acid and gasses in the stom- ach; he had pains like rehumatism in the back, shoulder blades and limbs. fullness and distress after eating. poor appetite and loss of flesh; the heart became affected, causing paIpi- tation and sleeplessness at night.
 l gave him powerful nerve tonies and blood remedies, but to no pur- pose. As an experiment. l finally bought a 1ifty-cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Ut Il drug store and gave them to him. Almost immediate relief was given and after he had used four boxes he was to all appearances fully cured.
 There was no more ncidity or sour watery risings, no bloatings after meals, the appetite was vigorous and he has gained between 10 and l 3 pounds in weight of solid, healthy fiesh
 Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab l let's are advertised and sold in Drug stores. yet 1 consider them most valuable addition to any physicians l line of remedies, as they are perfectly harmless and can be given to child ren or inyalids or in any condition of the stomach with perfect safety, being perfectly harmless and con taining nothing but vegetable and fruit essences, pure pepsin and Gold en Seal.
 Without any question they are l the safest. most effective cure for indigestion, biliousncss, constipation and all Arrangements of thestomaeh however slight or severe.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by druggists every where at , fifty cents for full sized package.

 At eight o'clock last night at the opera house Major Breckinridge was publicly welcomed to his old homo. Major Breckinridge, the Little Rock visitors and a committee of Pine Bluff citizens occupied the stage.
 Our Honorable County Judge, W.D. Jones, was master of ceremonies. He made 0 few appropriate introducto- ry remarks, and introduced Hon. Sam M. Taylor, who had been se- lected to deliver the address of well come. In his usually happy manner Mir. Taylor welcomed .ise lale Am bassadOr to his old home and invit ed him to resume his citizenship in our midst. Mir. Taylor's speech was very eloquent and he was frequently interrupted by applause. He closed by presenting Honorable Clifton K. Breekinridge. The Major was greet cd with enthusiastic and prolonged applause.
 Major Breekinridge expressed his appreciation of the reception. He said: "It is difficult for me to reply to the kind and complimentary greeting which has just been voiced by both of the gentlemen who have preceded me, or to express my ap- preciation of the warm and cordial reception which has greeted my home coming after so long and so distant an absence. It is out of d full heart that l thank you. I have at all times remembered my friends and neighbors. There has never been a time when they were absent from my mind and heart. The as-

 Dreyfus clerks turned out in full force to meet Maj. Brekinridge at the train. They were attired in long linen clusters and high-topped hats. When the procession started to the hotel they took position behind the brass band and many by-standers thought that perhaps Fields mins- trels had again come to town. The young men attracted much atten- ton and 1t proved good advertise ment for Dreyfus.
 There was a large crowd assem- blad at the Cotton Belt depot, to meet Maj. Breekinridge. Many ladies were in evidence. When the Major alIghted from the ears he was given a grand shurrahl At night the opera house was crowded.
 Ex-Governor Simon P. Hughes, at present associate Justice Of the Su- preme Court of Arkansas, was a member of the party that came down from Little Rock last night to att tend the Breckinridge reception.
 Maj. Breckinridge presents a very healthy appearance upon his return from Russia. He has rotundity not previously characteristic of him. Altogether the land of the Car seems to have agreed with his health ex- ceedingly well. He possesses n com paratively robust stature and re- turns to his hone at least 9 pounds heavier than when he left us. And his increase in weight and rosy cheeks are very becoming to him. But when his face is turned the back of his head reveals the ravages of time by slight badness not observ- able when he was last among us.

Hattie Troupe, a negro woman, won the distinction of having her name given the new police patrol wagon, as she was the first person brought in to headquarters in it. The distinction didn't save her a fine, or get the fine remitted. She was assessed $500 on a charge of disturbing the peace.

 Tn thanking you for your exceed ing kindness must express my re- gret, q hearty regret, that my better half, Mrs. Rreckinridge, is not here also to particiDate in your kind re- ception.
 During the brief period, and yet not so brief when we measure it by the rayages of time, that I have been your representative at the cap ital of Russia, many familiar faces have passed away, and l am greeted by younger faces that don't know.
 'l am out of office now and perhaps you would have me talk about hap penings and the state of affairs in the lar East, the Turkish question, the Chinese question and the politics of the Orient. 1 have not talked for a long time. have been in a service which closely concerns the relations of two great powers. 1t would be l difficult for me to entertain you if I confined myself simply to what I know of that service, and 1t is not considered subject for very free dis cussion. But l suppose you would like for me to say something in re. gard to the great empire where I have been. Americans have always taken q great and friendly interest in the Russian Empire. The empire covers @ vast area of territory. It extends from the Western shores of Europe some seven thousand miles to the Pacific coast. It's richest ter ritOry is as yet uninhabited. The people are kindly people; they are a religious people; they are great people. 1 do not feel that we need look to them with a jealous eye as regards tbeir great expanse of terri tory. Annex alton or people that cannot be assimilated with the ex- isting power is Q means of weakness, not of strength.
 But you doubtless ask yourselves if there are any observations which have made while abroad a1d In the service of the public that would be applicable to ourselves.
 "There are some things which im- pressed me, and while 1 shall not at- tempt to detain you tonight with any long discussion of the subjects, there are one or two things which l would impress upon the minds of my countTymen.

INTEREST IN SILVER MARKET
Spain Is Now Coming a Million Pese-
taS Per DaV.

London, May 31.-There is much in
terest in the silver market, owing to
the run on the Bank of Spain, where
a semi-panic is said to prevail. Large
orders are expected, as the mint is re-
ported to be turning out half million
pesetas daily.
Madrid, May 31.-In the chamber OF
deputies today, Senior Calsado criti-
cised the prohibition of the export of
silver and silver money as being use
less, and urged the government to IN
crease the silver coinage, and avert a
crisis. Senior Puigcerver, the minister
of finance, said the measure was IN
tended to prevent the export of i'm
mense quantities of silver money stored
in the frontier provinces; adding that
if the prohibition was not sufficient,
stronger measures would be taken. The
minister of finance also said that the
Madrid mint was coming a million pc
setas daily, which amount, if necessary,
he expected, will be increased by an
arrangement being made with the Paris
mint.
The chamber of deputies has voted
the law prohibiting the expectation of
silver coin. 1t is feared the measure
will fail of the effect desired. The rush
on the Bank of Spain to change the
notes continues. The authorities have
decided to treat as criminal disturbers
of the peace all persons who change the
notes for pure speculation or TO create
difficulties for the bank.

SPANS PAPER FLEET.
Washington Officials Make Fun of the
Cadiz Squadron.


Washington, May 31-The frequent
reports from Spain through other
countries to the effect that a formid-
able fleet is being prepared at Cadiz to
sail for the West Indies in aid of Ger
vera, causes little apprehension here.
Naval officers, through private means
of communication, have pretty well
satisfied themselves that the CadiZ
fleet is a paper fleet. In other words,
its offensive power is altogether illu-
sorry. More than half of the vessels
whose names appear so frequently in
the press dispatches as formidable war
craft are of antiquated type and in a
state of disorder
The old Numancia is an example She
is rated as a battleship of the first
class. In her day, she was a battle
snip, but she has not a turret or a
sponsor, and would be little more than
sport for the modern ironclad. In ad-
dition to being antiquated, most of
these vessels are broken down in en-
gines and boilers. In their reckless dis
regard of the simplest precautions for
the preservation of the complex ma
chinery of. a warship, the Spaniards
are eXcelled by no people, and it is well
known that they have been obliged to
hire British engineers TO run their en-
gines whenever they did run. There
are some vessels, although a very few
at Cadiz, of modern type, but they are
not numerous or powerful enough to
give our navy any serious concern.
Of course, it is not to be understood
from this that our officers are neg
lecting to take precautions against
surprise at Santiago. They have their
own scouts well out to the east of
Cuba, so that they may receive quick
notice If any of the CadiZ fleet was
foolish to have started a day or two
ago for the West Indies, as is now re-
ported from Europe

may be for eventual cooperation at
Santiago de Cuba of the navy and
army, there is no restraint upon Com
modore Schley to prevent him from re-
ducing the forts at the entrance to the
harbor, destroying Cerveras feet and
making the city uninhabitable to the
Spanish, if he chooses to do so.
The news from Commodore Schley
contained in the press dispatches cauS-
ed no surprise to those who have known
him and his record. He is not an Off
Ger to remain quiet while there is q
chance for enterprise so close at hand.
His adventures in Korea, when he took
part in the attack on the native forts,
his participation in the Greedy eXpedi-
ton, and, more recently, his recent
stand for American rights in Valpa-
raise, indicates the character of the
American who is the commander in
Santiago, carrying with him a very
poor opinion of the military ability of
the Spanish people.
Since Commodore Schley's fleet has
been reported at Santiago, a great deal
of calculation and speculation has been
INDUCED in as to the possibility of his
acting effectively against the fleet of
Admiral Cervera without entering the
harbor Some of the naval men here
have taken all things into account and
have concluded that with the 13-inch,
12-inch and S-inch guns on the Massa-
chusetts, the Iowa and the Texas, he
can reach the city of Santiago itself
if he can get the range. If he could
obtain the mornings of the Spanish
vessels, which it is assumed he has
done, so definitely as to be able to chart
them, no doubt is entertained of his
ability to direct a destructive fire upon
the ships at a distance of five or six
miles.
According to the dispatches received
comparatively little attention appears
to have been given to the Notifications
The assumption among naval men who
are discussing the engagement before
particulars are obtainable is that he
has directed just enough fire at the
forts to occupy them, and has employed
his most effective long-range guns in
peppering the Spanish vessels in the
harbor.
Admiral Cervera, it is believed. has
found himself at a terrible disadvan-
tage in being penned up in the harbor
The bay OF Santiago is scarcely mile
wide in its widest part. 1t is navigable
for vessels of such draught as the four
armored cruisers of Cerveras fleet for
but a part of its width. 1t is consid-
cred to be out of the question for Ger
vera to protect himself to any great
extent by maneuvering. Having once
got the range of Cevera's vessels, either
at anchor or moving up and down the
bay, Commodore Schley may sink or
disable them all. At the same time he
may keep his vessels constantly in mo-
ton, playing on the Notifications and
the Spanish fleet, while the forts and
the imprisoned fleet are wildly endeav-
oring to hit lot of moving vessels.

another vessel of the vizcaya class in
Santiago harbor.''
The navy officials declare that Schley
would not endeavor to force his way
into the harbor, in view of the great
dlfhculues of navigation which would
have to be surmOunted in the effort
The entrance to the harbor is a chan
mel nearly three-quarters of a mile
long, and at one point only about 100
yards wide. While the channel has
plenty of water to float the ships, it is
tortuous, and at places dangerous. At
one point it twists sharply to the left
as vessel enters, and naval officers
say that it might become necessary at
some stages of the tide for a warship
to come almost, if not quite, to a full
stop as she made the turn. Shore bat
teries line both sides of the channel.
and vessel running it would afford
target which even a Spanish gunner
could not fail to hit.

SPANISH TROOPS MovING.
Destined For Manila, But Ships Are
Not Ready.

New York, May 31.-A dispatch to the
World from Lisbon says: The Span
iards are sending troops from all the
provinces to Cadiz and along the coast.
The intention is said to be to despatch
these soldiers to the Philippines as
soon as the squadron is ready to convoy
them.
But it appears that no squadron can
be despatched for a week or more, as
all the warships are short of ammuni-
ton and some of them have not even
mounted guns.
In the northern provinces of Spain
the Carlist organs are telling the peo-
pie that inasmuch as Admiral Dewey
attacked Manila with petroleum bombs,
and as the Americans lombard Span
ish towns without warning the inhab-
itants, it is time for Spain to make use
of her right to grant letters of marque-
Portuguese people are very much in
favor of Spain in the present war. They
have gone out of their way to assist
her. At the instanc. of the Spanish
consul here, they sent back Spanish
deSerters who had entered Portuguese
territory and are now sending troops
10 the frontier TO prevent the e-trance
of any more. They exercise great eau
ton in transmitting kilograms and let
ters for England and for the continent
generally, assuming that there must be
something important in every telegram
sent to London.

THE CADIz SQUADRON.
VIII Be a Formidable One, If It Ever

London, June 1.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Standard, telegraphing
Sunday by way of Bayonne, says: The
reserve squadron now undergoing speed
trials and gun trials outside of Cadiz
is composed of the battleship Pelayo,
with S2i men; the armored cruiser En-
perador Carlos V, with ALI men; the
cruiser Alfonso XIII. with 361 men;
the auxiliary cruisers Patricia and Ra-
pidO, each with Us men, and four tor
pedo boat destroyers, each with 120
men. When these vessels are ready to
start, Admiral Camara hopes to take
with him seven transatlantic steam
ers, now preparing at Cadiz. They are
armed with Krupp guns and quick
firing guns and carry $50 men each
They viii serve at the same time as
carriers of coal and war stores for the
squadron, which will also carry a
strong force of marines and provisions
for six months.

Washington, May 31.-The nomination
