Admiral Cervera has sent this letter to
Capt. Caspar +. Goodrich of the St.
Louis:
"Capt. Caspar f. Goodrich, u. S. S. st.
Louis:
MY Dear Sir: I have the greatest
pleasure in acknowledging by these pres
ents, in my own lame and also in that Of
all captains and officers on board this
ship, that we consider ourselves under
the greatest obligation to you for the
many kindnesses and excellent treatment
which you and all the officers under your
command have shown to us during this
passage. I must also mention the careful
and most valuable medical assistance
which has been given to our wounded
and sick men. Your kind feelings went
as far in this respect as to order them to
be put in one of the saloons of the ship
In order to provide more effectually for
their comfort. l thank you again for the
delicate and manifold acts of Kindness
by which you have endeavored to allevi-
ate the sore burden Of our great misfor-
tune. / assure you that shall never for
get them, and ! am, sir, your most obed-
lent servant,

SUPREMACY ON THE PACIFIC.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The annexation of the Hawaii Islands
and the occupation of the Philippine and
Ladrone Islands give the United States
practical supremacy on the North Pacific
Ocean. Take a map of that ocean and
the surrounding continents and note the
commanding positions occupied by this
country. on the eastern side of the
ocean the western coast of the United
States stretches for 1900 miles or more,
indcntod by the best of harbors and IN
habited by an energetic and prosperous
people. ON the north and northeast OF
the ocean lies Alaska, with It's string OF
Islands, each of which could be made a
fortress and which stand like immovable
sentnels at the entrance to Bering Sea,
Almost IN the center of tie ocean are the
newly annexed Hawaiian Islands, and
which can be made to serve as the half
way house for the warshlps and mer-
chantmen of this country. They are one
Of the outposts. And DGwey's victory ~
Manila added a group of the most valua-
BILE islands in the southwestern corner of
this ocean, while the Ladrone Islands
give one more stronghold.
O.
This is n most impregnable position, No
other nation begins to have the frontage
on tho North Pacific Ocean the United
States now holds. The frontage of Great
| Britain, Russia, China and Japan is COM
paratively small. In fact the front of all
four OF these nations does not more than
equal the front of the United States. The
conclusion is inevitable. The North Pa
cifc Ocean will become practically an
American lake. The vast body of com
merCe which will soon be borne on It's
bosom will be an American commerce
| The trade to be built up with China
| Japan and India will be American trade
And the riches which result will belong
| to America. We have simply to stretch
out our hands and take it. Like ripe
| fruit, IL is ready 10 drop into our lap
| No man can measure its value. No sta
| tistician can gauge its proportions. The
world has not yet seen its like.
1t is from such a future as this that the
! cry of imperialism has been raised e

SUNDAY TRAINS.
Editor of The Tribune.


Sir: 1 may be called an Old Hunker.
but ! am thoroughly opposed both by
education and principle to Sunday work.
/ am opposed to all that tends to the
breaking down of our religious institu-
tions l am opposed TO every tendency
that leads towards a condition that will
result in seven days work I'm week
and that will deprive us Of our rest day
How soon will it be, at the present rate
of progress, when stores and factories
and mines will be operated on Sunday
I am led to these observations because
of the efforts to begin the excursion
business TO Lake Ariel on Sunday.
most sincerely hope the Erie and Wyo'
ming Valley railroad will not let dowr
any bars in this direction.

COLONEL STONES PLATFORM

1t will be my purpose when elected 10
so conduct myself as to win the respect
and good will of those who have opposed
me as well as those who have given me
their support. / shall be the governor
of the whole people OF the state. Abuses
have undoubtedly grown up in the leGis-
lature which are neither the fault of one
party nor the other but rather tn ,
growth of custom. Unnecessary investi-
cations have been authorized by commit
tees, resulting in unnecessary expense TO
the state. 1t will he my care and pur-
pose TO correct these and other evils In so
far as ] have the power. It will be my
purpose while governor of Pennsylvania,
as 1t has been my purpose in the public
positions that ! have held, with God s
help, to discharge my whole duty. The
people are greater than the parties to
which they belong. I am only jealous OF
their favor. I shall only attempt to win
their approva! and my experience has
taught me that that can best be done by
an honest. modest, daily discharge of
public duty.

Many of the marvellous inventions
which were TO revolutionize warfare
and which have been loudly exploited
for the past few years have not been
heard of during these weeks of fight
ing. The wonderful flying machines,
the up-to-date balloons and even the
much Wanted part which the bicycle
was to play in modern campaigning
have held no place in the plans of the
war department. The new electrical
devices which were expected to achieve
startling results have also been for
gotten. But there is one thing that Is
changing to some degree the horrid
face of war, for if the missiles of mod
crn battle are more deadly and more
hideous in their effect, the antiseptic
treatment of today Is far more effective
in reducing fatality and amputation
among the wounded. All soldiers have
horror of a gun shot wound, but the
medical knowledge of the present does
much to allay the disastrous effects of
hot engagement.

Lieutenant Commander Wainwright
is statesman as well as a fighter.
In a paper in the Naval Institute on
Our Naval Power" he wisely says:
Already our interests are clearly
bound up with those of other countries
of the western hemisphere, and it re-
quires no prophet to foretell that our
merchant fleet will once again visit
all portions of the globe, so that our
interests are growing beyond the
waters washing our coasts, and our
navy will soon be expected to afford
protection to a considerable merchant
marine in all parts of the world. To
do this we must have coaling stations
so protected as to defy raiders. We
can avoid entangling alliances, and
we should refrain from assuming the
attitude of the armed bully; but if we
are to remain prosperous and to con-
serve our liberties we must become
powerful, daring to do right, fearing
only to do wrong" That is a first
class prescription for national great
ness.

The United States does not seek
trouble with Germany and IL believes
the great masses of the German peo-
pie have only the kindliest feelings for

to keep the peace he must instantly
give orders to his naval officers in the
Philippines TO keep their ships out of
our way. Otherwise these ships will

I'm SPANISH ISLES
One Who Knows the Ca.
rolines Writes.
Honolulu. Sept. 10. ises.

h''hfhHa'f ''Fff - AN'''
MR. EDITOR. Having sailed among
the Caroline Islands for many years.
am naturally much interested In any
items OF news from or about them. Oc-
casionally items appear In your paper
and have lately read In a California
paper that Il Is proposed to land a
cable on one OF them. II may inter-
est some of your readers to know that
there Is news from Ponape, the Span
ish headquarters in that region, as late
as July Goth. Just previous to that
date there had been lighting among
the natives between the Catholic and
Protestant factions and several men
were killed.
Mr.. Henry Naukei, a native OF the
Islands. and who Is quite well known
in Honolulu, went round the island to
try to stop the fighting. He was asked
to go on board the Spanish gunboat,
and was then charged with melting the
natives to tight, and was made a pris-
oner. This act had the effect of unit
ing the natives against the Spanish.
They told the governor that unless
Naukei should be released in two
weeks they would go and take him.
That would mean another massacre
like that Of 1887.
Another report letter) from anoth-
er source, says the Spanish were re-
pulsed in two fights and were in hid
ing. believe that Is a mistake and
that the fights referred to were among
the natives themselves, and that the
hiding consisted in going into the en-
trenchments thrown up when news
came of the war between Spain and
the United States.
The garrison was greatly alarmed
when news reached them of Dewey
work at Manila. The gunboat Quiros
and another vessel, which think must
be one of the regular Spanish steam
| ers running to Manila before the war
were hauled up into the mangrove. All
the valuables were taken on shore and
entertainments were dug and manned
ready to give a warm reception to the
Yankees, who were daily expected.
Capt. Miiandsr, an American citi-
zen, Is said to be held prisoner. He
has settled in the Carolines and has a
fine schooner there. There are other
Americans among the Islands whom
think would like to see odd Glory"
just at this time. 1t Is not likely they
have yet received the peace news In
that region. POnape and all OF the
Carolines east of 1t, would like to be
under the American flag. They know
what II means; but to the westward
they know very little about flags un-
til zap is reached.
Ruk or Hogulu, 400 miles west OF
Ponape. Is the largest island In the
group and Is the only one which has a
spot on 1t that could not be reached
by the guns of vessel six or eight
miles at sea. A thousand vessels could
lie at anchor there and not be seen
from the sea, yet the Spanish chose
Ponape, with its small harbors, for
their military colony, and so Ponape is
at present the principal island. G.

. A LONG FELT WANT.
(From Sydney Evening News

Did you ever notice while looking
over the columns of your evening pa
per, what gigantic efforts manufacture
ers, storekeepers, and proprietary me-
dicine concerns put forth to bring what
they vend before the public, to ylace
what they have for sale in the most
attractive form, how they exhaust the
Anglo-Saxon language, rich as 1t Is in
descriptive words and phrases, and
how II they score point every known
advantage Is taken of It? Did you ever
notice that DOan's Backache Kidney
Pills is the only remedy that gives you
home testimony, local proof. local evil
dence, Sydney happenings? II you
never have, make a note of it. Keep
1t In view. Bear 1t in mind Here is
one example,
Mr.. II. Ryan lives at No. 300 Sussex
Street, this city. He is a married man
and has lived for some years in the
locality. A few days since he had this
to say about Doan's Backache Kidney
Pills.
"SiX months ago my kidneys became
seriously affected, and was regularly
afflicted with backache. / was also
troubled with pains in the chest and
stomach. My condition gradually grew
worse, and though l tried several well
known remedies, found 1t impossible
to get relief. Lately purchased some
of these pills which ! have tried with
great success. They have completely
cured the backache and other pains
from which suffered. must say these
pills are a splendid remedy for kidney
complaints, and sufferers cannot dc
better than give them a trial"
Kidney disease has but few symp-
toms, but those symptoms are Of the
utmost importance and must not be
neglected.
A little headache, a little dizziness,
darkness and pufilness under the eyes
irregular action Of the bowels, bad
taste In the mouth, dryness of the skin,
eruption and pimles on the skin, pale
or sallow compilations, specks before
the eyes, coldness OF the feet or legs,
dimness Of vision, all point to either
disease or inactivity of the kidneys.
Nature Is signalling to YOU. There
Is DANGER ahead.
DOAN'S Backache Kidney Pills are
for sale by all dealers, for soc. per box,
or six boxes for $3.50, or will be mall
ed on receipt of price by the HOLSTER
