THE CUBAN .GOVERNM ENT.

Senator Foraker has addressed a
letter to his constituents in Ohio, in
which he reiterates his opinion that
Congress should have recognized the
Government of the Cuban insurgents
at the time war was declared. He at
tempts to correct the statements made
regarding the character of the insur-
gents, especially the charge made by
our men in the field that during the
assault ON Santiago, the Cuban sol
diers looted the baggage and equip
ments of the men. He declares that
this was mainly done by the 10000 re-
fugees from the town, who were in a
starving condition. He also cites the
statements of the U. S. officers which
are favorable to the Cubans General
Jos. Wheeler who was on the battle
field thinks rather well of them. He
saws that it was very difficult for AM
erican officers to communicate orders
to men who spoke Spanish only Gen
eral Fitzhugh Lee believes that the
insurgents will be easily dealt with,
when they thoroughly understand the
situation.
The settled opinions of the people,
and of Congressman, regarding the
Cubans will have much influence in the
framing of the laws which viii deal
with our relations to Cuba and Porto
Rico. Radical differences of opinion
may precipitate much debate in Con-
gress, and suspend party harmony for
awhile.
Probably the proposed Hawaiian
laws will be drawn into the whirlpool
of the debate, and of general contro-
versy, and the settlement of a definite
government here be kept in allegiance
for some time. Senator Foraker's posi-
ton indicates that the Republican
party may not be a unit in handling
these novel questions.

THE SAVINGS BANK.

One of the many intelligent tourists
who visited these Islands several years
ago said: I can't understand how
you manage to govern so well these
mixed races; but / must. concede this
that your postal bank is a credit to
your people, and a step in advance of
our ways of doing things in the
States"
But a national postal bank in any
country must be only a temporary ser
vice The funds deposited can only be
invested in public securities, and the
amount of these is limited, especially
in the United States.
In one aspect of the case, and a very
serious aspect too, the men who man
age Savings Banks are among the fore
most philanthropists of the world. 1t
is their sense. and judgment, and hon
esty that puts happiness or misery
into multitudes of homes. They are
men who reclaim drunkards, stand be-
tween ignorant and helpless women
and children, and the financial wolves
who would tear them to pieces, and lay
the foundations for happy homes, and
contented lives
While the spectators of all kinds
and descriptions, the most of them
known to be Christians" in profess
sion at least, are willing to put the
hard earned wages of the working peo-
pie into railway ventures, into mines,
into patent contrivances of all kinds,
which so often result in the poor mans
loss, and the spectators gain, there
are a class of real philanthrOpists who
encourage thrift, by protecting the
an wisdom can do so. These men do
an UNNECESSARILY great missionary
work The chief officer of one of these
Savings Banks, especially for sailors
use, himself rich, said on his death
bed, that his consolation in death was
that by his advice and attention to
thousands of ignorant people, with
small savings, he had prevented vast
amount of suffering, and created OPP
portunities for the exercise of whole
some and religious life.
If Mr. Damon succeeds, as he un-
doubtedly will, in creating Savings
Bank that will command the cOnfid-
ence of all nationalities here, he will
do his share and more than his share,
in laying the foundations of good civil
society. He might acquire glory, by
borrowing the Philadelphia from Adj
miral Miller, and cruising after wicked
Spanish ships. But he should instead
be satisfied with the hope that the
children of the present time will, in
years to come, regard him as a genu-
inc philanthropist and the Father of
savings institutions.

PONCE, Porto Rico, Aug. 15.-The
peace news has stopped all forward
movement of the American army in
Porto Rico. General Wilson at Coamo
and General Schwan at Mayagues will
remain at those places. General Hen
ry, who is at Utuado, will return to
Ajuntas, and General Brooke, who had
advanced beyond Guayama, will re-
turn to that town. General Miles eX-

General Wilson sent party with a
flag of truce to notify the Spaniards
of the suspension of hostilitics, but
the flag was not respected. This was
by order of Governor General Macias.
AS General Macias has no commuica-
ton with Madrid, he may thus cut
himself off from official notification of
the situation, although natives have
been sent to the Spanish lines to spread
the news that cessation of hostilities
had been ordered.

The great feature of DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla is the radical cures that result from
it's use. Many medi cines only suppress
disease-they push the pimples down
under the skin, they paint the complexion
with subtle arsenical compounds, but the
disease RACES in the veins like pent-up
fire, and some day breaks out in vol
canic eruption that eats up the body.
Ayers Sarsaparilla goes to the root. II
makes the fountain clean and the waters
are clean. 1t makes the root good and
the fruit is good. 1t gives Nature the
elements she needs to build up the broken

when father writes THAT yours ais the

allow something for seeming extrava-
gance in the statement if you know that
the medicine so praised, cured loved
daughter of disease and restored to her
the eyesight nearly lost. The best med
icne in the world for you is the medicine
that cures you. There can't be anything
better. No medicine can do more than
cure. That is why John S. Goodc, Of

"Dr. Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best med

cold. She was nearly blind, and was obliged

The doctors could give her no relief; ono
of them directed me to give her Ayers

value OF DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla repeat
over and over again, in one form or another
the expression: "The doctors gave her
