I. Havana, March a9-La Lucia, in an
editorial says:
"The United States note to Spain de-
manding that date be fixed to end the
hostilities is simply declaration of

president Mckinley has been forced
BY lingo opinion and the sensational
newspaper press to close the debate on the
question and to shield Capt. Siqsbee,
who is one of the most popular officers
in the United States navy.
,.sIt was needless to send the Maine to
Havana, as American interests were
amply protected by Gen. Lee."
Continuing, La Lucia says:
SIT is we'll for Spain to know at least
the real purpose of the money loving
Americans. Spain now knows what to
expect and how to act.
La Lucha then warns the United States
that if she expects to have all her own
way in Cuba, "she can only do SO with

In conclusion La Lucha says:

what Captain Sigsbee and Commander
Wainwright related.
Nothing in the testimony fixes the re-
sponsi bility, no conspiracy is apparent,
no knowledge of the planting Of mine is
shown. Captain Sigsbee states that a
somewhat bitter feeling existed against
the American ships and Americans gen.
orally and witness whose name is sup
pressed tells of overhearing conversation
among Spanish officers and citizen in
dicating a fore.ltnowledge of the destrue-
ton of the Maine by intention to blow
her up. An official of the American CON
suIate tells of Information received
anonymously pretending to show that a
conspiracy existed. But nothing is
definitely stated which fixes any respon-
sibility upon Spain or her subjects.

BaNEFUl INDIGESTION.
THE DISORDERS II CAUSES AND THE
POIsONS IT iNSTILS IN THE BLOOD.

If we only knew how dangerous, insidious
and ruthless a disease indigestion is, we would
not wait as we do before endeavoring to cure it
The longer We wait, the more dangerous it is
likely to become.
So the sooner we take Shaker Digestive Cor
dial the better it will be- and the better we will
be.
Indigestion is dangerous because it creates
poisons in the stomach which are absorbed by
the blood and by it carried to all parts OF
the body.
Could anything be worse than this
These poisons would not be formed if the
stomach could digest its food. When it can't,
Shaker Digestive Cordial will help it to do so.
Nothing will help the stomach SO well as
Shaker Digestive Cordial, nothing else cure in
digestion so quickly or so positively.
The reason is ti4tt it pursies the stomach and
the blood, and makes your food strengthen in
stead of poison you.
1t is not a medicine, but an aid to digestion, a
pleasant cordial for weak Stomachs.
Sold by druggists. Ten cents tor trial

There Vas no disappointment, there

department that the c~apitulation did
not include the entire group, as was
stated in the press dispatches first re-
ccivcd from Hong Kong. But eyen

great pains to obtain the opinion of
the people regarding the disposition OF
the Philippines, he has not in reaching
his decision been guided wholly by
popular sentiment. lie believes that
the p,ople favor the retention OF all

General Miles has arranged matters
generally with Captain General Ma

peace commission at San Juan. Gem
cral Macias, while maintaining his
outposts, is steadily retiring his forces
to the capital, preparatory to their
enbarkation. Mail communication be-

established and the overland telegraph
wires. which have been severed, will

All that will remain for the commits
sion to do, General Miles says, will be
to secure an inventory of government
property transferred to the Americans
and to give receipts to the Spanish
authorities.
Captain General Macias in his vari-
Gus COMMUNICATIONS with General
Miles has shown the best spirit. He
is anxious to cooperate in bringing
about an evacuation at the earliest
moment possible and is placing no OBJ
stacles in the way of the troops re-
turning home.
Colonel Ramery, the highest volun-

Ramery says that the Spanish forces
at Aibonito were short OF ammunition

food upon Cayey. They must have
succumbed as soon as General Brooke
struck Cayey.
