Senate Committee Is Not Disposed to
Face the Issue.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-The senate
committee on foreign relations resumed it's
sitting today. The general question Of the
Cuban situation was taken up Immediately
upon securing a quorum.
The committee adjourned shortly after u
o'clock. The committee does not expect to
attempt to make report until Monday on
the Cuban situation, it will wait absolutely
upon the presidents wishes until that time
The committee is proceeding in perfect
harmony with the president and will do so
to the end.
The committee, it is stated, by its members
Is proceeding upon absolute information as
to the character of the negotiations between
this country and Spain, and this is to the
effect that the independence of Cuba is made
| the essential consideration of the nego-
| tiations. The president has told Spain, in so
many words, that it is useless to go farther
upon any other understanding.
Having this assurance the committee Is pro-
ceeding deliberately and with no desire to
| press the question Of the form Of resolution
| to be brought in until it is necessary to de-
| eide that point, which can be done In few
moments.
Indeed, 1t Is the expectation that the presi-
| dent himself by Monday will indicate the
| action he would like to have congress take
| in case Of the failure of his diplomacy and
| the present inclination of the committee is to
| follow his leadership in this respect This in
| clination Is due to the fact, however, that
| the committee in this event will be prepared
| for armed Intervention to secure the freedom

Captain of the Maine Before the
Senate Committee to Tell the
STORY Of the Loss of the Battle
ship-RepOrt May BE Made the
Basis of a Resolution Declaring
for Intervention.
WASHINGTON. March 81. - Can't.
Sigsbee, of the Maine, and Capt. Bar
ker, Secretary Longs naval aide, who
went to Key West after the explosion
on behalf of the department, were be-
fore the senate committee on, foreign
relations for an hour at the afternoon
session. Both were examined in detail
in regard to the condition and strength
Of our navy in the vicinity of Havana.
and Capt. Sigsbee was questioned as
to his opinion and knowledge of the
Maine catastrophe.
His story was not materially differ
ent from that detailed to- the naval
court of inquiry, but the fact that it
was given personally to the members
of the committee and included personal
deductions, made a visible impression
upon the members.
Capt. Sigsbee did not express a con-
viction, in so many words, that the
disaster was the result of treachery
on the part Of the Spanish, but, after
the committee had concluded its hear
ings, one of its members expressed his
belief that the explosion was due to
that agency. The purpose in taking
the testimony of these naval officers
is to incorporate their statements in a
report the committee will make if it
finds it necessary to report a resolution
for Intervention.
This report will be in the nature of a
statement to the country justifying the
position taken, and it is considered
desirable to support this with an array
of pertinent facts which will go far to
convince the American people and the
civilized world Of the justice of the
course taken.
When the report, which was circulat-
ed during the afternoon to the effect
that Spain had rejected the proposals
of the United States, was brought to
the attention of the committee, Senator
Davis went to the chamber and asked
that there should be no adjournment
until Monday, as had beer contemplate
ed. This led to the surTlise that, in
case the report of Spains refusal
should be verified the committee might
bring in it's report.
1t was stated later, however, that
the committee had not changed it's
plans, and that it probably would wait
upon the president at, least until Mon
day, if he should desire.
There is no doubt that the committee
is prepared to report4ver speedily In
case it should feel called Upon to do So
There has been no poll of the COM
mittee, and no formulation of a reso-
luton, but there has been a. very gen.
eral expression of views. 1rThis express
sion has so far taken the shape of a
recognition of the independence of the
Cubans, together with a declaration
for Intervention sufficient to guarantee
this independence, and the best opinion
is that such resolution will be the I'LL
innate result of the committees DELHI
erations. if Spain insists upon continu-
ing the Cuban war and holding the
island 49,.

KEY WEST, March 31.-Every pre-
paration for action was taken by the
warships today. All woodwork was
stripped off exposed spots and sent
ashore. The wood pilot houses on the
cruisers were taken down. To a GER
tain extent the interior woodwork was
also removed and sent ashore. Even
the sailors wooden boxes were removed
from some of the ships.
These precautions have been adopted
to prevent as far as possible, the dan
gers Of flying splinters in case Of &C
ton.
The officers sent their personal valu-
ables and belongings to be stored on
shore.
The Castine and two torpedo boats
left their anchorage after dark and
steamed to the southwark, where they
will patrol during the night. This pre-
caution was ordered by Capt Sampson
today. He is particularly anxious to
watch closely the Havana entrance to
al safety for the Iowa. Indiana and
New York, which lie unprotected six
miles out.
The naval station officials have re-
ceived orders to overhaul their marine
engineering stock; that it could be used
instantly in case of emergency.
Torpedo boats not engaged in patrol
ling tonight made another attack on
the battleships, but all these measures
were guarded with the greatest secrecy.

the members OF the Oriental club a colored

rooms on the floor below.
Arrangements for the dance had all been
maze, and despite the request Of Mr. OyeralIs
that the function be postponed on account of

club assembled, and until midnight the laugh
ter shouting and music of the cracked piano
came down through the doorway. and passers-

significant. The entire fleet is now in
readiness to move at fifteen minutes
notice.
The gunboat Annapolis has left for
Brooklyn.
Spain's answer and the subsequent
action of congress are the absorbing
topics of conversation. Enlisted men
share the interest exhibited by the Of
Ulcers. and the suspense is becoming in
tense.
An experienced naval officer said to-
day: IF we are going to have trouble
with Spain we might as we'll have it at
once. This fleet is as ready for prompt
action as it ever will be. If the ques-
ton Of peace or war is not decided until
the Spanish torpedo f1otilla and cruis-
ers arrive, it will make the situation
considerably more difficult for our
navy.
IF hostilities were commenced before
the Spaniards arrive, 1 think the war
would be Of short duration. Neither
the cruisers nor the torpedo boats
would be in any condition for fight
after their long voyage and both would
be comparatively easy victims even for
an inferior force"

THE PROBLEM SOLVED.
THE NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY
TESTED.
Results of the Test in, Various Forms of
Dyspepsia. 70

dyspepsia, i
Chronic indigestion gsor dyspepsia.
while very common trouble, has for
some time been looked upon by able
physicians as a serious thing, and that
no time should be lost il treating it
properly at the start, because recent
researches have shown that the most
serious, fatal and incurable diseases
have their origin in simple dyspepsia or
indigestion.
Diabetes is simply one form of indi-
gestion, the sugar and starchy food not
being assimilated by the digestive Or
gans. In Bright's disease the albu-
men is not properly assimilated.
While consumption and dyspepsia are
twin diseases, and it is beyond ques-
ton that dyspepsia makes a fertile soil
for the seeds Of consumption.
But the trouble has been to find a
remedy that could be depended upon
to cure dyspepsia, as it is VIGOROUSLY
obstinate and difficult to- cure.
This has been the question which has
puzzled physicians and dyspeptics
alike, until the question was solved
three years ago by the appearance of
world known as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, which 1T was claimed was as
a certain, reliable cure for every form
of stomach trouble.
Physicians, however, would not &C
| cept such statements without first CIV
| ing the new remedy many tests and
carefully observing results.
For three years the remedy has been
thoroughly tested in every section of
the country, and with surprising and
| satisfactory results.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can be
honestly claimed to be specific, a rad
ical lasting cure for indigestion in the
various forms of acid dyspepsia or sour
stomach, gas or wind on stomach, too
| much bile undue fullness or pressure
after eating and similar symptoms re-
sulting from disordered digestion.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets were not
placed before the public until this three
years trial left no doubt as to their
| value, and they have recently been
| placed in the trade and can be found
on sale at all druggists at the nominal
! price Of 80 cents per package
| No extravagant claims are made for
| the remedy. It will not cure rheuma-
tisn, pneumonia. typhoid fever nor
anything but just what it is claimed to
| cure, and that is every form of stom-
ach trouble.
| No dieting is necessary. good whole
some food and plenty Of it and you
may rest assured that Stuart's Dys-
| pepsia Tablets will digest 1t.
| Druggists claim for it that it is a
| pleasure to recommend 1T to dyspep-
| tics, because it gives such universal
| satisfaction.
