SPAIN'S ALLY.
Portugal is Doing What She
Can to Aid Her.

London, April 28.-A sensation has
been caused by the action of the Por-
tuguese government in stopping the
transmission of telegraphic informa-
ton, so far as the public is concerned
regarding the movements of warships
in Portuguese ports as it reveals the
hitherto scarcely concealed fact that
Portugal is doing everything possible
to aid Spain. The decision of the Por-
tuguese government today is undoubt-
eddy in response to the pressure
brought to bear upon her by Spain and
the sole object of the order, it is be-
liveded, is to prevent news of the de-
parture of the Spanish fleet from being
cabled from st Vincent, Cape Verde is
lands.
A dispatch received here from Lisbon
this morning, is reiterating the denial
made in the Portuguese house of peers
yesterday that President Mckinley had
called upon Portugal to obtain the de-
parture of the Spanish squadron from
St. Vincent Cape Verde islands adds:
President McKinleys notification is
understood to have threatened unless
the Spaniards were ordered to leave St.
Vincent, that the United States would
regard Portugal as an ally of Spain and
treat her accordingly"

INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
Of an Iowa Lady Who Was Cured of
Dyspepsia After Suffering for
Twenty-Five Years.

Mrs. Sarah A. SkeeIs, an estimable
lady residing at Lynnville, Jasper Co.,
Iowa. was for twenty five years a suf-
ferer from Dyspepsia, and her complete
restoration to health is SO remarkab BILE
that we present the facts in the case for
the benefit of our readers, many of
whom have doubtless suffered in the
same manner and will, therefore, be in
terested in learning how all stomach
troubles may be avoided and cured
Mrs. Skeels says: 1 used only one pack
age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
1 received such great and unexpected
benefit that I wish to express my sin
cere gratitude. In fact it has been six
months since 1 took the medicine and L
have not had one particle of distress or
difficulty since. And all this in the
face of the fact that the best doctors
consulted told me my case was incur
able as I had suffered for twenty-five
years. 1 want half dozen packages
to distribute among my friends here
who are very anxious to try this rem
edy. Truly yours,
MRS. SARAH A. SKEELS.
The reason why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are so successful in curing in,
reason why it never disappOints those
who need it and use it is because moth
ing is claimed for it except what it will
actually perform 1t is not a cure-all
and no such claims are made for it. 1t
is prepared for the sole purpose of cur
ing Dyspepsia and the various forms of
indigestion.
There is scarcely a patent medicine
made but what is claimed to cure dys-
pepsia as we'll as hundred other trou-
bles When as a matter of fact rem
edy to cure dyspepsia must be prepared
especially for that and nothing else;
and among all the remedies, patent
nostrums, bitters, etc, SO extensively
advertised you will find that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets is the only one ad-
tised as a cure for dyspepsia and moth
ing else. The remedy is prepared by the
Stuart Co, of Marshall, Mich, and for
sale by all druggists at so cents per
package, and if you suffer from any
form of stomach arrangement or indi-
gestion a trial will not disappoint you
mailed free. Address Stuart Co., Mar
shall, Mich.

RULES FOR MEDICAL MEN.
Laid Down by the Surgeon General of
the United States.

Washington, April, 28-Surgeon Gen
era1 Sternberg of the army has received
applications from over 1000 physicians
who have offered their services to the
government and every mail brings
numerous additions to the list.
With a view to answering generally
many of those applications and of in
dicating the requirements and class of
of physicians who may be called for
in the service of the army, he has pre-
pared the following circular letter:
mo appointments are made in the
regular army except by examination by
an army medical examining board and
all applicants must be graduates in
medicine and less than % years of age.
THE surgeon general of the army has
nothing to do with the appointments
of medical officers for the volunteer
army.
Comparatively few contract sur
eeons (acting assistant SurgeonS) are
likely to be required, and it is the inten-
ton to employ for service with troops
going to Cuba or at hospitals on the
gulf coast only such as are immune to
yellow fever.
.'An applications and offers of service
will be placed on file for future refer
ence and for selection of the most avail
able persons, for the special duty re-
Quired in case of need.

NEW RULING MADE.
Regarding Assessments of Stockhold-
ers in Insolvent National Banks.

Washington. April 2s.-An important
ruling has been made by Charles G.
ing to the practice of the comptroller's
office in regard to the collection of as
solvent national banks and the distribu-
ton of the proceeds of such assessments.
Under this ruling, whenever it becomes
necessary in adjusting the rights of cred
itors and stockholders of insolvent banks
to either levy a second assessment upon
stockholders for the benefit of the cred
itors, or to return any excessive assess
ment to stockholders, the comptroller will
review the original assessment for the
purpose of making such adjustment con-
trary to the practice of the office which
the first estimate of deficiency in the
banks assets final, irrespective of
whether not that estimate
matter of fact too large or two small. This
ruling is of great Importance, it re-
lateS to assessments already levied
throughout the country, well as those
hereafter to be levied upon stockholders
in insolvent national banks whose affairs
are not entirely closed.

From the Guns of Admiral

NEW FORT DESTROYED
Firing Accomplished the Pur-
pose Intended.

On Board the Flagship New York, off
Matanzas, April 2s.-The New York, the
Puritan and the Cincinnati bombarded
the forts at the mouth of Matanzas
harbor yesterday afternoon. There
were no casualties on our side, but it
is believed that the hail of iron which
poured into the forts must have caused
loss of life to the Spaniards though
nothing is known definitely.
The engagement lasted 20 minutes.
The object of the attack was to prevent
the completion of the earth works at
Punta Gorda. A battery on the east
ward arm of the bay opened fire on the
flagship, and this was also shelled.
About twelve s-inch shells We're fired
from the eastern forts, but all fell short
, About five or six shells were fired from
the half completed battery. Two of
these whizzed over the New York and
one fell short. The ships left the bay
for the open sea, the object of discov-
ering the whereabouts of the batteries
having been accomplished. In the
neighborhood of three hundred shots
were put on land from the three ships
at range of from four thousand to
seven thousand yards.
Rear Admiral Sampson, when asked if
he was satisfied with the result said:
Yes. I am. 7 expected to be-" The
half completed earthworks and battery
were apparently blown up by the shells
All the ships engaged showed ex
.cenent craftsmanship throughout the
engagement and when they were firing
at the shortest range nearly every shell
took effect. The forts which were
bombarded were on a low lying point
and were considered merely earthworks.
They did not make a good target, yet
when the big guns were fired at the
shortest range portions of the fort could
be seen flying in the air at every shot.
The flagship returned to Havana and
the Puritan and Cincinnati were left
at Matanzas station.
Washington, April 28.-The strategy
board believes the only purpose Of
Sampson was to draw the fire of Ma
tanzas batteries and learn their num-
Der and strength. If any batteries
were building, Sampson would prevent
continuance of work on them
