May Try Cuban Rule.

New York, July l6.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Santiago de Cuba via Port
Antonio, Jamaica, says:
The various problems connected with
the capture and taking possession of San
tiago are rapidly being brought to solu-
ton. The evacuation of the city by the
Spanish troops, who are now prisoners of
war to be shipped back to Spain, will
greatly simplify the situation.
1t is thought that the Cuabns under
General Calixto Garcia, who have done
some good work in the campaign, can be
entrusted with the general administration
of affairs in the surrendered territory.
They would, of course, at least for the
present, act under the direction of a Unit
ed States military governor, who would
hold Santiago city with a garrison OF
United States troops. These could be sta
toned on the hills about the city, where
water is plentiful even in midsummer, and
where there is no danger of fever.
Two or three regiments, it is believed
would be ample for garrison purposes.

DEWEY AND D|EDRlCHS
SHARP MESSAGES EXCHANGED.
Germans Apologize for the Irene AZ
fair-stiii Make Petty Protests
Dewey Is Firm and Decided-Or-
egon Men in Trouble.

New York. July ia dispatch to the
World from Manila, July IA, says:
Admiral Dewey sent message TO the
German admiral recently to inquire
whether America and Germany are at
peace or at war. If they are at peace he
demanded that the German warships here
pursue different course. If they are at
war he wanted to know it, so he could
govern himself accordingly.
Admiral Dewey was prompted to send
this preemptory message by the action of
the German cruiser Irene in preventing
an insurgent attack on the Spanish gar
rison at Subig bay, which greatly dis
pleased him.
Admiral Won Diedrichs, in command of
the German fleet in the Pacific, returned
an answer which was apologize in tone
and was satisfactory. But afterwards he
sent to Admiral Dewey a note saying that
he objected to the Americans stopping
German ships which have been in the bay
once and been visited.
The German ships have made practice
of coming into Manila and then making
trips outside the bay, cruising among the
islands and returning in two or three
days. The German contention is that a
ship should not be stopped after the first
time.
Admiral Dewey replied that Manila is a
blockaded port and that he would con-
tinue to have all ships communicated with
when he desired whether on the first OF
the hundredth time of entering the bay.
The German Admiral responded, still OBJ
jecting and saying that he would submit
the question to the senior officers of the
other warships
Four volunteers from Oregon-Cap
tains Heath, Wells and Prescott and Lieu

There was much uneasiness when they

They explained that they got furthei
away on Sunday than they thought anC
could not return on Sunday so they lie
cidede to make tour of in

back of Manila and got some valu
able information, but they are now con
fined to their quarters and will probabl,
be court martialed.

Bad Digestion, Bad Heart.

Poor digestion often causes irregular
ity of the hearts action This irregu-
larity may be mistaken for real, organic
heart disease. The symptoms are much
the same. There is however a vast
difference between the two: organic
heart disease is often incurable; APP
parent heart disease is durable if good
digestion be restored.
A case in point is quoted from the
New Era, of Greensburg, Ind. Mrs.
Ellen Colsom, Viewpoint, Ind, a
woman 43 years old, had suffered for
four years with distressing stomach
trouble. The gases generated by the
indigestion pressed on the heart, and
caused an irreguarity of its action.
She had much pain in her stomach and
heart, and was subject to frequent and
severe choking spells which were most
severe at night. Doctors were tried in
vain; the patient became worse, de-
spondent, and feared impending death.
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1898-07-23

She was much frightened, but no.
ticed that in intervals in which her
stomach did not annoy her, her heart 8
action became normal Reasoning COR
rectly that her digestion was alone at
fault she procured the proper medicine
to treat that trouble and with immedi-
ate good results. Her appetite came back,
the choking spells became less frequent
and finally ceased. Her weight, which
had been greatly reduced was restored
and she now weighs more than for
years. Her blood soon became pure
and her cheeks rosy.
The case is of general interest because
the disease is a very common one.
That others may know the means of
cure we give the name of the medicine
used-Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. These pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves

ALL CAME OUT WITH GOLD.
Twenty Miners From Dawson Reach
Victoria.

Victoria, B. c., July l6.-The steamer
Cottage City, which touched here last
night on her way to Seattle from Alaska,
had on board 20 miners from Dawson
City with about three-quarters of mil
lion dollars in gold dust and drafts, most
ly the latter. They came up the Yukon
river in a steamer to White Horse rapids,
where they transferred to Lake Bennett
steamer.
They say banking accommodations in
Dawson are now so good that there is
no necessity of men bringing out money
in any other form than drafts. The most
of the gold will come out by way of st.
Michaels. Those believed to have the most
money on the Cottage City are the four
Butler brothers of Ellsworth, MINI. The
eldest went in three years ago, the other
three last year. They have cleaned up a
large amount on Bonanza creek, "a A,
6S and % A. They sold claims to an
English syndicate represented by McFar
land and H. NJ. Coleman, the latter of
whom came down tonight. The price OBJ
tanned cannot be learned, but Coleman is
authority for the statement that it was
very large one. All the men on board
were reticent, saying the imposition Of
the royalties causes them to refuse TO
state the full amount of money brought
out. Several of them have been working
only on "lays" The only boats that have
yet reached Dawson from down the river
are the Hamilton, Weare, Bella, May
West and Victoria.
Among the Cottage City passengers are
Phil Dobson of Los Angeles, Henry Chen
ey of Rochester, n. Y, Miller and Vines
of New York state.
All have money variously estimated at
from $4,000 to $4,000 each.

FUTURE OF THE INDIANS.
Vonderhorst Says Deal Is on TO
Transfer the Club to Brooklyn.

Transfer the Club to Brooklyn.
New York, Sept. S-H. r. Vonderhorst,
owner of the Baltimore Baseball Club,
is the first league magnate to openly con-
firm the story that a deal is talked of
involving the transfer Of the entire Cieve-
land team to Washington Park Brooklyn,
together with a pooling of issues by
Frank De Hass Robinson and F. A Abel
He said:
1.-The scheme has been under considera-
ton for some time past, and only few
days ago Robinson consulted me about
it. He wanted to know whether l re-
garded the proposed deal as one that
would result with profit and 1 not only
told him that 1t would, but also urged
him TO make 1t.
Some time ago Mr. Abel offered to
give half a controlling interest in the
Brooklyn Club TO me If I would put the
Baltimores permanently at the old East
ern Park, but / could not see my way
clear, as 1 had pretty good thing where
/ was. If Abel will make that offer over
again to Robinson l fully believe that
something will come of it.
Robinson has a great team and a
worthless franchise. Abel has valuable
plant and no team. These elements COM
bined would develop winner that would
be of immense financial profit, as Brook
lyn patrons are hungry for good base
ball
IF the new Brooklyn Club could be
equally divided as TO its stock between
Robinson and Abel, with the former in
control of affairs, it would be a move of
inestimable benefit TO the entire league
Robinson, as l say, has discussed the
matter with me and has also consulted
to see the deal consummated."

THE REPORT DIscRED1TED.
aninfum VIII Not ne Used In
building the Shamrock

New York, Sept. S.-No yachtsmen who
could be seen today placed the slightest
confidence in the statement from Lon
don that an alloy of aluminium known as
Wolfframinium, and said to be an inven-
ton of Harland & Wolff, the Belfast ship
builders, would be used In the construc-
ton of the Shamrock, which is to sail in
the Americas Cup contests next year.
The honorary secretary of the Royal
Ulster Yacht Club this afternoon declared
that the statement was absolutely I'M
true.
Il never heard of such a composition in
Belfast, where it is reported to be made"
he said. mo one knows what material
will be used in the Shamrock, and l do
not think that even Mr.. Fife himself has
as yet made up his mind on the matter.
The boat most likely will be composite
with steel ribs and wooden panking
However, as / have said, l do not know,
and no one knows, or is likely to know
for some time. 1t is not considered prob
able, in fact, it is a matter of certainty
that not more than one defender of the
Americas Cup will be built. Her con-
structors will, as a matter of course, be
eiic lncy nave pulll many
other successful defenders that there is
no one else in the field
| Cary Smith said:
1T would be folly to think of building
more than one defender, unless the 9TH
ers, too, were built by the Herreshoffs
They know exactly what is wanted They
| have the experience; they built the de-
| tenders that have proved themselves SUI
perior to the challengers, ana they are
the people to build the defender now I
have no hesitation, in fact, am proud
to say that they have no equals. They
know what is wanted to the neatest point
| of exactness, and they will not take in
structions, either. You tell them I want
an eighty-nine-foot boat and that is all
they want to hear, even from Mr.. Nor
| gan. And they keep their secrets
| Nothing has been officially said so far
as to who will undertake the expense of
constructing the defender, but it is
stated, and nobody doubts the statement,
| that the money will be furnished by the
| commodore of the New York Yacht Club,
]. Pierpont Morgan. 1t is equally certain
that his managing partner will be now, as
on the last occasion, c. Oliver Iselin.

vania, announced today, is about the
same as that OF the past three years
Yale and Princeton,;as in 1885, 1896, and

Lafayette, the Indians, and Cornell being
the main attractions. All of these games
occur at Philadelphia, except that with
the Crimson.
Pennsylvania has an open date on No
vember 10, and as Princeton's schedule
closes on November IL, it would be very
acceptable to the football public if the
Quakers and Tigers would increase their
dates one each.
This, however, seems hardly likely.

WILSON GETS THE DECISION
After Repeatedly FouIing, Jack Nc
Connell Quits the Ring.


About forty people, including specta-'
tors, principals, seconds, trainers and re-
tanners, were present last night at Steub-
ner's road house when the gong sounded
for the preliminary bout of the evening,
four-round ''go" Between Jack Williams
and Fletcher Wright
The fight was rafting good one, both
men working all lifetime and giving an
excellent account of themselves. Wright
is shifty man on his feet and proved
himself clever sparrer, although the de-
cision was given to Williams. Jack Stan
ley, Jimmy Connors, and Billy Nash were
in Williams's corner and Jack Down@y
and DOC" McKeever officiated LII Ike
capacity for Wright. Joe Bateman ref
creed the bout, and was greeted with APP
plause when he stepped into the roped
arena.
The six-round exhibition between Ar
thur Jones and Billy Clinton was de-
Glazed off, owing to the illness of the Tor
mer.
The star event of the evening, twenty
round sparring match between Kid VIII
son, of Kansas, and Jack Mcconnell. of
Philadelphia, turned out fasco.. After
three rounds of good, hard fighting, the
decision went to Wilson in the fourtn,
because of McConneil's repeated fouling.
The first round was rather tame. the
men sparring cautiously and the gong
sounded on clinch
In the second round Wilson got in
some telling body blows on Mcconnell
and escaped with little punishment him.
self. This round also ended in clincn.
The third round was a hot one. 3oth
men went to work and II was give and
take TO the sound of the gong. Wilson
was knocked down twice, Mcconnell lost
his temper and struck at the Kid While
the latter was down. The round ended
by Mcconnell landing heavily on wilson
jaw.
The fourth and last round was an exhi-
bition OF fouling on the part OF McConneii,
who repeatedly struck Wilson while in a
clnch. Jack was warned by the referee
and the men sent TO their corners three
times. The third time Mcconnell went TO
his corner a great hubbub arose and Ref
cree George Carter quit the ring, stating
| that he would not stand for such fighting.
A great deal of talk followed between the
| principals and seconds, and Carter was
| induced to re-enter the ring, when the
general disorder became greater, and Nc
| Connell finally stepped outside the ropes
| and went to his dressing room, refusing
| to continue the fight. Referee Carter then
gave the decision 10 Wilson. which an
nouncement was hailed with applause by
| the spectators.
| Joe Bateman and Jack Stanley looked

Jimmy Connors and Billy Nash were in
