Madrid, August 8.-6 p. m.-Senor Sa-

there was any truth in the statement
cabled to the United States that he had
caoied direct to Washington on the sub

London, August 9.--The Madrid cor

THE promptitude with which the
Spanish cabinet accepted the terms on

Washington, Aug. S.-The report of
the Board of Surqey appointed to inves-
tigate and report upon the condition of
,Ahe battleship Texas. now in dry dock
. at Brooklyn navy yard, was received
today by Secretary Long. The Board,
Of which Commander Gilmore is presi.
dent, states that repairs to the ship will
cost 900 and should be completed
within twenty days.
The report is gratifying to the De-
partment as it indicates that the iniu-
ries to the Texas are not 30 serious as
it was at first feared they might be. It
is expected here that it will in all prob
liability be month before the ship re-
turns to Guantanamo. The work ON
her will be hurried with all possible
dispatch, as the battleship is wanted
there, and it is desired to clear the doc X
as soonas possible TO make way for

West Indian station, it is expected that

Congressman Bailey introduced reso-

any territory whose people were inCapa-
BILE of self-government, opposing annex
ing territory which will necessitate any
increase in the standing army, and op-
posing the establishment Of any gov

luton favored government construction
and control Of the Nicaragua canal, fa-
vored the acquisition Of Porto Rico and
all other Spanish possessions in the

annexation or continued retention of

this good health is due to my using Paine's
celery compound last winter and spring,
which made my blood pure and nerves strong
to resist malaria and keep me we'll Very
truly yours,
CORPORAL JAMES o. BECKWITH,
Co. NJ First Vt, Volunteer Infantry.
Secretary of War Stanton used to say that
the best definition of rest is a change of Occu-
patton. That may be true for one in health,
but sick person needs to have his digestion
regulated, his blood purified and his nerves.
invigorated. Paine's celery compound brings
the sort of rest the sick body requires through
sleep and nouris hment.
Just as the great lawyer studies each one of
his cases till he knows it on every side and in
every possible aspect, so Professor Edward
E. Phelps, NJ. d., LII. D., of Dartmouth Col
lege, the discoverer of Paine's celery COM
pound, had studied the nerves in health and
disease, when well nOurished and wheH
under-nurished, in men and women and
children years before he looked for the
remedy. Paines celery compound was the
outcome of his entire professional life. A
fitting memorial to life of hard study and
close observatiOn-a remedy that the world
could not lose to. day, at any price
Paine's celery compound Gains and equal
izes all the nervous tissues and induces the
body to take on solid flesh. 1t purifies the
blood, as is so clearly shown by the rapid
clearing of the skin of all evidences of bad
humOrs within. 1t is an infallible relief for
salt rheum, eczema and all blood diseases.

1t is u fact Of comparatively recent dis
covely in chemical mctallurgy that metals
lose their vitality from repetitions of
shocks and strains and may be said, as the
expression is, to suffer from fatigue-that
is, they may be worked till their molecules
fail to hold together, and then they are In
II state of exhaustion As is familiarly
known, bars Of tin, rods of brass and wires
of any metal will separate, owing to ia
tigue, if bent backward and forward con-
tinuously. But by careful experiments,
however, the fact is made to appear that a
remedy exists for this condition of metals,
if the overstrain does not border on rup-
turc, and this remedy is very much like
that which is applied in the case of an
overv orked human frame-namely, rest.
i Gather edged tools recover their vitality
better than any other. OF course the
length of time required for this rest varies
with different metals and the amount of
strain to which they have been subjected.
| Hard metals, such as iron and steel, use
up one and two years time in the process.
On the other hand, soft metals, like lead,
retain their cohesive force longer and also
require less rest.
