No trouble is more common or
more misunderstood than nervous
dyspepsia. People having it think
that their nerves are TO blame and are
surprised that they are not cured by
nerve medicine and spring remedies;
the real seat Of the mischief is lost
sight OF; the stomach is the organ to
be looked after. .
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the stom-
ach, nor perhaps any of the usual
symptoms Of stomach weakness. Ner-
Yous dyspepsia shows itself not in
the stomach 80 much as in nearly
every other organ; in some cases the
heart palpitates and is irregular; in
others the kidneys are affected; in
others the bowels are constipated,
with headaches; still others are
troubled with loss of flesh and uppe-
tite, with accumulation of gas, sour
rislngs and heartburn.

ward the bank. There they saw an up- turned boat slowly drifting about. Harry Freeman had just scrambled on to the bank and lay there completely exhausted.
 Later Freeman revived and stated that he had left a man clinging under heath, and that he had shouted once or twice for help. In his exhausted condition, he said, it was impossible for him to tell whether 1t was one of his brothers or Shannon. The sur viving member of the party was re- moved to a house near by, where re- storatives were applied. The frightful experience made him almost incapable of speaking coherently. He could scarcely remember how 1t happened, and in the blinding mists he could not see the others. He remembered the shouts of his father as the boat made the leap. When 1t reached calm water again there was no one to be seen.
 In the present high water it is not probable that the bodies of the drowned men will be recovered. The Willamette is rising rapidly and is now ten feet above low water mark.

PORTLAND. Or Feb. 8.-In the laundering waters of Willamette Falls four men were swept to death at a few minutes past o'clock this morning. Confused in the dense bank of fog wlile crossing the river in a boat a short distance above Oregon City, and while trying to find their bearings, their craft was seized by the mighty current and hurled to d 1struction Five men started on the ride to what seemed inevitable death, but one mirac- ulously escaped He was almost insen- sible from the shock and could not have held out a minute longer when he was picked up by the rescuers, who got out in time to see the boat go over the falls.
 Three of the victims of the accident were members of the same family. All were employees of the Grown Paper Mills at .egon City. They were resi- dents of -anemah, and were on their way to work. The lost are: George Freeman, 50 years old, of Canemah, married: George and James Freeman. his sons, 26 and 16 years old, respect ively: L. J. Shannon, 36 years old, of canemah. married, and leaves wife and four children.
 Shortly before o'clock the five men met as usual at their embarking point Freeman senior was at the oars. He rowed along the usual course and head ed for the west bank of the river. It probably did not occur to the occupants of the boat that the Willamette had been rising very rapidly since Sunday. and it is supposed the current carried the boat farther than they suspected before the discovery was made that something was wrong. In the dense fog it was not possible to locate famil- jar signs and in that gray mist the men had no warning but the ominous, suiien roar of the falls as they drew nearer and nearer the most dangerous point.
 Suddenly the cheery chat of the boys was interrupted. The boat gave WlId lurch as the main torrent struck it. In the same instant all five of the men discovered that they were far below the usual point of crossing and that the powerful current was carrying them down at a velocity that increased every second. Additional hands were mt to the oars and an attempt was made to pull out of the swirling, rush ing stream
 the nlunging craft in the rapids, which swept 1t along at express train speed. The occupants of the boat began to shout an alarm. Their cries reached the ears of some of the employees at the mower station of the Portland General Electric Works. Rushing out on the trestle walk which runs into the store they could but discern the outlines of inc boat containing several men. A general alarm was then given. boat put out from the electric works, but it was some time before the rescuers could see anything of the ill-fated party. There was little hope of seeing either the boat or its occupants.
 The rescuers rowed around the big eddies to the west side of the river. Muffle6 cries caused them to TOW to-

l your attentive friend and servant, who 1 kisses your hands,
 ENRIQUE DUPUY DE LONE.
 Those who have seen the original letter and who are familiar with the chirography of De Lome have no hesi- tancy in pronouncing it genuine. Be- sides 1t is written on the official paper of the Spanish Legation.
 How 1t came into the hands of the Cuban delegation when 1t was address ed from Washington to Havana before Canalejas left Cuba for Spain, is ex- plained as an act of patriotism by a Cuban secret agent in Havana, who, knowing the contents of the letter, and desiring to expose to the world the character, of Spanish diplomacy, stole the letter in Havana at the risk of his own life Photographic copies of 1t were taken to-day by several persons, and many who know the handwriting of de Lome came +o the office, attracted by curiosity, to see the letter. They all declared 1t absolutely genuine.
 President Mckinley has heard of the letter, but will not publicly discuss a matter of such delicacy. After the letter, although private, Is brought to the notice of the country he may feel constrained to take official notice of it. It can be stated however, that whatever action is taken it will not be until after it is clearly established that Mir De Lome wrote the letter I un- derstand that the course will be to have MT. Woodford call the attention of the Madrid authorities to the pub lication of the letter. It is assumed that the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs will at once call upon Mr. De Lome for an explanation. On this will depend his further relations as Span ish Minister.
 An admission on his part that he wrote the letter will, 1t is assumed here, be justification for his recall by his own Government without any di- rect request for it by this Government. This, I was told by a high official of the Government, would be the easiest way out of the unfortunate difficulty, and would avoid any rupture in our relations with Spain which might en- sue should the Madrid authorities not recall De Lome on their own account. A direct precedent for this course was furnished when Minister Muruaga. Senor De Lone's immediate predeces- sor, was quietly recalled by his Gov ernment on the suggestion of the United States on account of his .criti- cism in a newspaper interview of the course of Secretary Gresham in regard to the Allianca affair.

 The exiles will return, one by one. and when they return will come walk ing into the sheepfold, and the chiefs will gradually return. Neither of these had the courage to leave en masse and they will not have the courage thus to return
 The message has undeceived the in surgents, who expected something else; and has paralyzed the action of Con- gress, but I consider 1t bad. Besides the natural and inevitable coarseness with which he repeats all that the press and public opinion of Spain has said of Weyler shows once more that Mckinley is weak and catering to the rabble, and besides is low politician who desires to leave the door open to me and to stand well with the Jingoes of his party.
 Nevertheless, as a matter of fact 1t will only depend on ourselves whether he will prove bad and adverse to us. l az CC WILL yOQJ WlLiiOdt iAiiiA tary success nothing can be accom- plished there, and without military and political success there is here always danger that the insurgents will be en- couraged, if not by the Government, at least by public opinion.
 l do not believe you pay enough at tention to the role of England Nearly all the newspaper canaille which swarms in your hotel are English, and at the same time that they are correspondents of journals here they are also core spondents of the best newspapers and reviews of London.
 Thus 1t has been since the begin ming. To my mind the only object of England is that Americans should oc- cupy themselves with us and leave her in peace, and if there is war so much the better; that would further remove what is threatening her-although that will never happen.
 It would be most important that you should agitate the question of conner cial relations, even though it would be only for effect, and that you should send here a man of importance in order that I might use him to make propa- ganda among Senators and others in opposition to the junta and to win over the exiles.
 There goes Anblard. I believe he comes too deeply taken up with little political matters, and there must be something very great or we shall lose. Adele returns your salutation, and we wish you in the new year to be the mes senger of peace, and take this new years present to poor Spain. Always

!
 Senor Dupuy de Lome promises to be the Sackville West of Spanish diplo- macy, and that the smooth representa- tive of land of the castanet will be given his passports tomorrow or as soon thereafter as the unrolling of red tape will permit. may be regarded as matter of course, provided he does not prove a letter to a friend in his own handwriting to be a forgery of the rankest kind
 The letter in question was received here late tonight and created a sen sation. Should 1t prove to be genuine, as those responsible for 1t say it will be. the effect on Congress will be tre- mendous. The letter was written to Senor Canalejas. one of Spains ex-cab- inet ministers who lately made a tour of Cuba, and in it President Mckinley is referred to as "a low fellow, little in statesmanship. who delights in truck ling to the rabble." Canalejas is urged to have some good men sent here that the attention of the members of the American Senate may be diverted from the real Cuban question by appealing to the self-interest of this nation of shopkeepers."
 It is due Senor de Lome to say that though he at first refused to discuss the letter he late tonight addressed a note to the press. in which he pro- nounced the document a rank forgery. adding that he would indeed be foolish were he even to think such things of President Mckinley, much less put them in writing. The pro-Cuban ele- ment, in and out of Congress, however, profess to believe De Lome wrote the letter, and say that tomorrow will witness such scenes in and about the national capital as have not been witnessed since the stormy period of war between the States. The following Is a translation of the full text of the letter:

 SENIOR DON JOSE CANAL EJAS-My Distinguished and Dear Friend: You need not apologize for not having written me; l also ought to have written you, but have not done so on account of being weighed down with work and nous sommes quittes.

Everything depends on politi- cal and military success in Cuba The prologue of this second method of war fare will end the day that the colonial Cabinet shall be appointed, and it re- lieves us in the eyes of this country of part of the responsibility of what may happen there, and they must cast the re- sponsibility upon the Cubans, whom Alhey believe to be so immaculate.
 Until then we will not be able to see clearly, and l consider 1t to be a loss of tune and an advance by the wrong road-the sending of emissaries to the rebel held, negotiating with the auton- onnists not yet declared to be legally

BRITISH PILL STATISTICS
THE PILL REGARDED AS \
NATIONAL DELtCACN.
Something Like Twelve Hundred and
Eighty Millions Swallowed Annual
w in the British Islands.

The British appetite can only be
guaged from the revenue receipts
relating to the stamp duties paid for
patent medicines (Which last year in
the aggregate amounted to almost a
quarter of million pounds) and by
making allowances for the pills dis
pensed by doctors and chemists,
which are not dutiable. An allowance
of u trfe over half an ounce of pills
for each inhabitant of the united
kingdom for the year cannot be said
to be an eXtravagant estimate; indeed
such an allowance means but thirty
two doses a year, or one and half
pounds of pills to last lifetime of
sixty years.
Placed i'm straight line the pills
of a lifetime would extend through
some forty feet. and there would be
some 1920 of them. The latter figure
may seem rather large. but if sixty
years of pills were combined into one
sphere it would have a diameter of
less than four inches and a circumfer-
ence of less than one foot.
II is not until we make calculations
regarding the pill as a national deli
cacy that we arrive at any figures of
magnitude, and then we find that
something like 1,2S0,000 pills are
swallowed annually. If these British
pills were put i'm a straight line they
would extend from London to Luck
now. The placing of the pills in a
line of $3.50 miles would afford oc-
cupation for a pair of idle hands dur
ing eighty-one years, at the end of
which time the owner of the hands
would probably find the task of lay
ing down three pills every second
during an eight hour day somewhat
monotonous. If instead of putting
them into an extended line we placed
the pills in rows of LOSS pills, and
having arranged the same number of
pills i'm a row as base, we could use
the rest of the pills in making LOSS
similar layers, the resultant cube
would have each of its dimensions
rather more than 22E feet. Having
performed this feat, we could proceed
to stir up the lot in gigantic mortar,
and having thoroughly mixed the in
gredients-and what a mixture it
would bel roll the mass into one
splendid spherical pill weighing 637
tons and possessing diameter of over
% feet and a circumference of over SO
feet Five men six feet in height,
standing on one another's shoulders
not heads, that would be too pain
full especially for the one on the
groundwork require the services of
small boy to crown the human Elf
fel Tower in order to get level with
the top of the monster pill.
