NEVIS FROM HAVANA.

Is the Government Deiaying-Importance
 of Senator Proctor's Visit.
 Havana, via Key West, Feb. H.- Many Americans and some Spaniards here insist that the investigation into the Maine disaster has thus far been superficial and barren of vital results They claim that though nearly two weeks have passed, no knowledge has been gained as to the condition of the forward part of the hull or as to wheth- CT the six or ten-incb ammunition mag azines forward to the starboard explod- ed. They insist, moreover, that ex- pert divers, with enough experience to make drawings of the condition of things submarine, might have been at work week ago and settled the ques- tion.
 Is the Government Delaying:
 Those who hold these views demand that the hull forward should be raised without further loss of time and before it has sunk too deep in forty feet of soft mud. There are some who go so far as to charge the United States gov ernment with adopting the Spanish policy of delay, until the disaster shall be partially forgotten or discounted. Many of the Spanish officials are said to entertain the opinion that this is the case and to be very well pleased with theenotion. On the other hand, however, good judges say that all crit icism in this vein is made without a knowledge of the facts and that no one save the members. of the court of inquiry and their superiors are aware of all the testimony developed or of what submarine plans have been made Those also urge that there is no use trying to raise the hull until the wreckage of armor, superstructure, en- zines, decks, guns and masts has been taken out To do this will take time and the apparatus for 1t can only be found in the north. It is said no com- pany in the world ever took a con- tract for such work where the blowing up of the wreck by dynamite was pro- hibited lest important evidence be de- stroyed But even the most moderate strongly deprecates any more delay than is absolutely necessary; while all agree that the American people are not likely to forget so readily. Rumors of this, that or the other discovery, sets on foot this, that or the other theory are still rife. In most cases, when run down, they are easily proved false. It is useless to deny that the interest here is much less intense than it was a week ago.

Taking Il Over.

! !
these discussions of the ailments peculiar
to women took place twenty years earlier
in life. If little of the prudery of mod
crn society were bauished, so that young
women talked these subjects over among
themselves, there would be less suffering
among women in middle life.
Good health is the best endowment that
a human being can have. Good general
health among women is largely dependent
upon good local health in wonanly way.
Through ignorance and neglect 1t has be-
come such an ordinary, common place
thing for women to suffer from weakness
and disease Of the delicate and important
feminine organism, that many women have
come to look upon these troubles as an
unavoidable inheritance. This Is mis-
take. All troubles of this nature may be
cured in the privacy Of the home, without
undergoing the obnoxious examinations
and focal treatment insisted upon by
the average physician. DR.. Pierces ia
vorite Prescription gives health, elastic
strength and vitality to the sensitive organs
