is nothing like experience to prove
the real worth of a remedy. For
years suffered with kidney troubles
and tried different remedies and used
plasters, but l got no relief that was
permanent until I used Doan's Kid
ney Pills. There was a weakness and
such terrible pains through my kid
neys that could not sit down or get
up without feeling terrible shooting
twinges. Whenever caught cold it
always settled in my kidneys and ag-
gravated the pain. One day 1 was
complaining about my back to Mr..
Wivlll, OF 10l1 Seventh avenue, and
he told me that Doan's Kidney Pills
had cured his backache, and he adj
vised me to try them. l bought a
supply at Marshall & Fishers drug
store, in all five boxes, and l found
them just as my friend had repre-
sented. They relieved the pain in my
back and restored the action of the
kidneys to a normal condition You
may use my statement at any time,
for 1 consider Doan's Kidney Pills the
best remedy for the kidneys that
have ever used, and 1 will endorse
them on all occasions"

Manila, Sept. 19.-In an interview here
with him by the correspondent of the
Associated Press Archbishop Dozal, OF
the Philippine islands, said: Il earn
estIy hope the islands will not remain
Spanish, because the rebels are now so
strong that such a course would in
evitably cause appalling bloodshed. The
reconquest of the natives is impossible
until after years of the most cruel war
fare" He also expressed the hope that
the islands would not become absolutely
independent, because it was certain
that dissensions would occur which
would result in incessant strife and a
lapse into barbarism and the natural
Incidence of the tropical race. The only
hope, the archbishop declared. was that
a strong western power would inter-
vene now. Delay was dangerous, be-
cause the people are intoxicated, vain
glorious and restless:
Archbishop BlameS the MONKS.
He said it was undeniable that the
religious orders must go. because the
whole people had determined to abolish
them now that they were able to render
their retention impossible. He lay the
chief blame upon the Dominicans, Au-
gustins and Franciscan Receletans-the
richest orders-and next upon the Bene
dictines and Capuchins, which are of
less Importance. The Jesuits, Arch
bishop Dozal says. are comparatively
blameless. He added that the rival or
ders quarrel among themselves. in
trigue, act unworthily and slander their
opponents, thus increasing their general
disfavor. The provinciales, who are ap-
proXimately equivalent to archdeaccns,
are mainly responsible. They are ut
terly beyond the control of the arch
bishop, who denies possessing much
power.
Annexationists in the Majority.
The total number of Spanish priests
in the Philippines before the war was
about 1000, but lately every departing
steamer has taken fifty or 100 of them
away, and now barely 500 remain. \
native priest privately stated to the
correspondent that the reason the arch
bishop hopes for the expulsion of the
friarly orders is that they have grown
too powerful for him, and that he
wishes to strengthen himself. Several
responsible Spaniards assured the cor
respondent that they would refuse to
here if Spain was reinstated in
the control of the islands. Many of the
Spanish soldiers refuse to serve again,
and Spanish officers are utterly dis
gusted with the rottenness of Spains
government and prefer to become Amer
lean subjects. The annexationsts have
a majority of seventy-one in the ma
tional assembly, but the discussion of
the subject has not been finished

CAPTAIN CAPRoN ANOTHER VICTIM.
G IIIant ARTILLERY Officer, Untouched by
Bullets, Succumbs to Typhoid.

q lliant tArt1llery Oncer, Untouched by
Bullets, Succumbs to Typhoid.
Washington, Sept. 19.-Captain Allyn
Capron, First artillery. died at his home
near Fort Myer. Va, yesterday. Cap
tain Allyn K. Capron, son of the de-
ceased, was an officer in the Rough
Riders and was killed in the first fight
before Santiago. La Quasina. The father
was in the next fight with his battery.
He came home with the seeds of ty-
phoid in his system. He will probably
be buried in Arlington National ceme-
terry.
Captain Capron was one of the best
known officers in the regular army. He
had devoted himself particularly to the
artillery branch of the service, having
ben an honor graduate of the artillery
shcool in 1878, and was regarded as an
authority on artillery tactics. When
General Skaters corps went to Santi-
ago Captain Capron accompanied it and
his battery did notably fine work in the
battle of Santiago. The death of his
son preyed on his fathers mind. but he
never swerved for an instant from his
duty during the terrible days that fol-
lowed. Captain Capron was born in
Florida and entered the military acad-
emy s a cadet in 1863

Mia, Sept. 19.-The Filipino govern
ment desires TO inform the American
government and people that the
many rumors circulated regarding
strained relations ketween the Fill
pino and American forces are base
malicious slanders of the enemy to
both parties, and are without anv
truth, and are circulated for the pur-
pose of producing the appeal of the
Filpinos for release from the oppres-
sion and cruelty of Spain. The rela-
tions of our people and yours have
been and will continue to be of the
most friendly nature, and we have
withdrawn our forces from the su-
burbs of Manila as an additional evil
dence of our confidence in the great
American republic.
(Signed) "Aguinaldo.'
Regarded as an Important Document.
Washington. Sept. 19.-The Asso-
ciated Press dispatch conveying Agui-
naldo's message to the American peo-
pie is regarded with much interest at
the White House. The president read
the statement with evident apprecia-
tion of its Importance. but did not
volunteer any information as to the
attitude of this government. Off
cials very near him spoke of the mes
sage as very important document"
Officials at the state and war de-
partments welcome the notice sent
the American people through the
Associated Press of the falsity of
stories describing friction between
the Filipinos and American forces in
LuzOn. While the officials do not
care to discuss the matter for publi-
cation, it was evident the main source
of their satisfaction was the interna-
tional evidence contained in the doc
ument that Aguinaldo had profited by
the warnings of the American COM
manders and had gracefully receded
from the arrogant attitude assumed
by him Just before Merritt left Ma |
Mia for Paris.
