His Influence Is Said to Be on the
Wane.

New York, Oct. 20.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington, says:
Major General Otis has cabled to the
war department a review of the situa-
ton in the Philippines showing that
Aguinaldos influence is on the wane.
General Otis stated that A~guinaldo's
forces are being rapidly depleted.
Many of the deserters are joining the
Spanish party, apparently because of
the belief in the possibility that the
islands may be returned to Spain. The
situation is peaceful and there is little
danger of trouble between the natives
and Americans and General Otis ex-
pressed confidence in his ability to
fully cope with any developments.
Secretary Alger sent a copy OF the
dispatch to the state department and
1t is expected that 1t will De cabled to
the American commissioners in Paris.
Adjutant General Simpkins. who has

spondence which has passed between

This correspondence shows conclu-
sively that the American officers enter
ed into no alliance. implied n direct.
with Aguinaldo. and that the hands Of
this government are tied in no way as

THE CASE.
Court of Cessation Will Take Up Mat
ter Next Week.

Paris, Oct. cot is believed hat the
court of cessation will take up the
Dreyfus case next week. ana uhe gen.
eral impression is that the decision
will be in favor of revision.
The court has obtained documents
concerning Count Esterhazy, late Lieu
tenat Colonel Henry and Nine. Pals
and their mutual relations. 1t will de-
mand all the documents bearing on the
case and will call witnesses. including
Lieutenant Colonel IPicquart.
NJ. Cavignac. the former minister for
war, is credited with the intention,
when parliament reassembles, of call
ing on the government to take the
question of Dreyfus revision out of the
hands Of the court OF cessation. but it
is believed that no precedent exists for
such interference.
The Soir says:
M. Faure will send a message to
the chamber of deputies regarding the
Dreyfus case when parliament reas-
sembles. and it is predicted by some
that he will appeal for a reconciliation
OF the factions now disturbing the
country's tranquility"

Astoria, Ore, Oct. 2O.-During TIL,
trial Of the torpedo boat Davis today
an explosion took place in one of hel
boilers. Men in the boiler room were
scalded, seven dying from their injur,
les:
The dead:
Charles O'Neil, fireman.
Paul Luithle. coal passer.
Harry Woods, fireman.
w. Woods, superintendent of the
boiler room.
J.. Ryan, fireman.
A. johnson, fireman.
A. Buehle, fireman.
The accident took place in the Co
lumbia river about 20 miles above this
city while the boat was on her trial
run. The nature of the explosion has
not yet been made known. as an ex-
quired to determine what portion of
the boiler burst.
One of the men on the Davis said:
ut is impossible to tell whether the
tubes in the boiler or a steam pipe
burst. All we know is that an explo-
sion took place. The boiler room
was filled with boiling water and steam
and the men in the room were scalded
to DEATH
The Davis was flowed here nv n river
steamer and the injured men taken to
St. Mary's hospital. The Davis car
ried Al men all told. She was one of
two torpedo boats recently built by
Wolff & Sewicker at Portland and was
soon t. have gone into commission.
AT the time of the accident the boat
was in charge of the official trial board.
The officers declined to make any state
ment as to the cause of the accident.
The best theory o%btainable is that
some of the tubes in the forward boiler
exploded. owing to a arrangement Of
the automatic water gauge which per-
mitted the. water to get too low. EX-
cepting for the havoc wrought in the
boiler room, the boat is uninjured, the
hull and engines being in perfect con
dition.
Four of the injured men died at the
hospital.
The Davis left for the ship yard to-
night in tow of the tug Harvest Queen.

Havana.

New York. Oct. 20.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:

which will welcome the REIMBURSEMENT

IN A HUMILIATING POSITION.
The American Commission in Havana
Is Disguised.

Havana. Oct. 20.-Through no weak
ness or mistake Of its own, the Ameri-
can commission occupies a position hui
initiating in the extreme. 1t has made
several demands upon the Spanish au-
thorities. only to have them ignored
and to see affairs shape themselves as
they would were Spain debating terms
of peace instead of accepting them.
To this matter emphasis was given
on Monday when. in the face OF repeat
ed protests made from General Wade
and his associates. General Blanco pro-
ceeded with an auction sale Of what
should be considered trophies of war
brass and bronze canon. Captain
Brooks also learned that the military
machine shop was being partially dis
mantled. The costliest shafting and
the latest pattern Of lathes were being
packed for shipment to Spain.
Another matter that has been annoy
ing to the commission is the calm man
ner in which the protest against the
dismounting of guns taken from the
Alfonso XII was ignored. General
Wade announced to General Blanco
that though the guns originally be-
longed to the cruiser Alfonso XII, hav-
ing only been used in the defense of
Havana. they became part Of these de-
lenses and must accordingly be turned
over to the United States.
The Spanish commission commune
Gated with Madrid and received a re-
ply that this was a matter for discus
sion by the Paris commission, and that
1t in no manner concerned the commits
sion appointed to arrange the evacua-
ton Of Cuba. Since then the work of
replacing the cannon on the Alfonso
XII has proceeded without interrupt
ton, though frequent protests have
been made by General Wade, Admiral
Sampson and General Butler. One OF
the commissioners said:
UNLESS we have authority and pow
err to back up IN demands, we are no
more use in Havana than three school
boys would be. We tell the Spaniards
what should be done and they proceed
as they please.
when we first arrived in Havana,
we announced that the island must be
Evacuated by December. Spaniarts re
piled that they would have to be al
lowed until April to get Out. Neither
side has yet receded. They will hold
on to the customs receipts as long as
possible. When they lose them they
will move.
III I had my way I would bring down
warships and take possession Of the
customs house and other branches OF
the government.
THE ooner the Spanish soldiers
leave the sooner Cuba will be rid Of the
yellow fever epidemic. In the wooden
barracks in Regla over 400 soldiers died
last week. There exists there all sorts
of fever.
I'VE have registered at the commits
sion the names Of many Spanish lieu
tenants and Of four captains who wish
to remain in Cuba working with the
American police"

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to
Know What Appetite and Good
Digestion Mean, Make a Test
OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Interesting Experience Of an Indian
apolis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame, are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicines and
spring remedies; the real seat of mis-
chief is lost sight Of; the stomach is
the origin to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any Of the usual symptoms Of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach
SO much as in nearly every 9TH
er organ; In some cases the heart
palpitates and 70 irregular; in
others, the kidneys are affected;
in others the bowels are constipated,
with headaches; still others are
troubled with loss Of flesh and appetite,
with the accumulation of gas, sour
risings and heartburn.
Mr.. A. W. Sharper Of No. 81 Prospect
St, Indianapolis, Ind, writes as fol-
lows: "a motive Of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few lines
regarding the new and valuable medi-
cine, stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I
have been q sufferer from v dys-
pepsia for the last tour years; have
used various patent medicines and
remedies without any favorable re-
suit. They sometimes gave temporary
relief until the effects Of the medicine
wore OF. I attribute this to my Sc
dentary habits, being a bookkeeper
with little phyeicGi exercise. but I am
glad to state that the tablets have over
come all these obstacles. for I have
gained in flesh, sleep better, and am
better in every way. The above is
written not tor notoriety. but Il based
on actual facts."
Respectfully yours,
"A. W. Sharper,
81 Prospect st.. Indianapolis, Ind.
It ia safe to say chat stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets will cure any weakness or
disease except cancer Of the stomach.
They cure sour stomach. gas, o@ Of
flesh and appetite, sleeplessness, pal
pftatjou, heartburn. constipation and
headaches.

The statement that the Eolian will play
any piece of music ever composed is SO
broad and sweeping that it many times fails
to impress the reader with its wonderful
significance.
AS a means of affording a better idea OF
the enormous repertoire of the Eolian We
present herewith a list of the works OF n
single composer, Beethoven, that are In
cluded in the Eolian music catalogue.
These are all arranged from the full orr
chestral score, comp etc and unabridged.
Many Of them are never attempted upon the
piano, and are only played by large orches-
tras, yet it is possible for any one to play
them on the Eolian correctly and with all
the changes of tempo and expression.
