DEPARTMENTS STATEMENT.
No Deviation From the Demands Made
by the United States.

Washington. Sept. 1J.-The State De.
partment tonight gave out the follow
ing statement with regard to the peace
commission:
While for obvious reasons it was de-
termined that the nature Of the inStru-
tons rs to the negotiation about to be
entered upon should, for the present. be
kept secret and made known ONLY after
definite results shall have been cached.
1t Is possible 70 state authoritatiyeiy
that the commission goes to Paris fully
prepared to follow a course of action
mapped out for it as the result of the
consultations of the last two DAYS.
At the very outset it will be made
clear to the Spanish commissioners that
rs in the case of the preliminary protocol.
there can be no deviation from ar modi-
f~ication OF the demands made by the
United States.
The decision arrived at by the Presi-
dent after 4 full consultation with the
members of the commission, subsequently,
received the cordial and unanimous an
prevail of the Cabinet. at a meeting held
this afternoon.

there is no source from which this want

that the soldiers are tolerably we'll sun

great need of money to buy fuel for the
coming winter. He has therefore an

probably several years. Construction Of
the Reidsville link will do away with the
necessity for Il double track between Sal

the through line Il few miles shorter.
Reports from the WaSh-OutS which were
sustained by the Murphy branch Of the
Atlanta. Knoxville and Northern show
that the ROAD was damaged worse than
was though some days ago when the
mishaps occurred. Several t~restles. the
exact number not being named by the
reports. were washed out and the track
was torn up in Il number of places.
No sooner had the main line of the
road been placed in condition for travel
than an extra large force was put at
work on the Murphy branch to repair
the breaks to the track reconstruct the
damaged ~trestles and replace those which
were washed from their foundations.
AS the repairs have not been com
pleted and traffic on the branch is suS-
pended, the damage will be large. Il
cannot be said when traffic will be re-
stunned from Murphy to Blue Ridge but
probably not until the middle of this
week.

In portions of Missouri the crop has sus-

Even the beggars are clean. 1t is in
consequence of these commendable
habits that so few annoying pests of
Insect life are met with. Although I
have during my two months stay in
the country slept in all sorts of places,
from the meanest hut of the peasant
to the governor generals palace, l
have never had my rest disturbed by
anything more annoying than mosquit-
ces, which are mild and unenterprising
enough as compared with the breed
which infests most places in America
and many resorts in Europe. The writ
ers on the Philippines have almost un-
auimously declared the country to be
the home Of all sorts of insects and
reptiles which make life burdensome.
But one soon finds that the innocent
little lizards which run over the walls
are engaged in catching flies and mos
quitoes, that the great beetles are
harmless as grasshoppers, and that
there is here, indeed, a remarkable i'm
nunity from the petty annoyances
which one expects to find during his
sojourn in the tropics.
But to return to our excursion.
There assembled at dinner, not only
our party, but quite a number Of ma
tiVes, men and women residents of the

gentle, simple manners quite captiva-
ted us. They spoke Spanish with ease
and fluency, and the women, at least.
had the grace OF the Castilians. An
orchestra of ten native musicians, who
played with skill and taste all sorts
of classic music and encouraged us
to join In the dance which naturally
followed, was surprise, not to say a
| delight. When the party broke up and
the guests from the village and the or
chest ira strolled across the lawn in the
clear, soft moonlight, singing as they
vent fascinating native air, the eff
feet was simply enchanting, and we
| hung over the balcony and watched
| the white figures disappear among the
! palms and listened to the vanishing
| strains of the song until it became so
| faint that it was drowned by the chirp-
| ing OF the crickets and the shrill call of
| the tree frogs.
FAVORABLE IMPRESSIONS.
Our return journey to Manila only
| fixed in our minds the conviction that
the parts of Luzon we had seen were
extraordinary beautiful and fertile,
| possessing an orderly peace-loving
! population, capable of development un-
| der a proper government; that the
| climate was agreeable and healthful;
that the wonderful diversity of surface
and variety of attitude made it posi-
! Bile to enlarge the list of agriculture,
! products indefinitely; and that with an
/ extended railway system, comprising
two or three branches from the present
! line. the northern provinces would in q
short time add enormously to the
! wealth of the islands.

THAT COMMON TROUBLE, ACID DYs-
PEPSlA OR SOUR STOMACH.
Now Recognized as a Cause of Ser
ious Disease.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, Is n form
of indigestion resulting from fermen-
tation of the food. The stomach being
too weak to promptly digest IT, the
food remains until fermentation be-
gins, filling the stomach with a gas
and a bitter, sour, burning taste in
the mouth is often present. This con-
dltion soon becomes chronic and an
very day occurrence and Is given but
little attention. Because dyspepsia Is
not Immediately fatal, many people
do nothing for the trouble.
Within recent period a remedy
has been discovered, prepared solely
to cure dyspepsia and stomach troubles.
1t is known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's, and is now becoming rapidly used
and prescribed as a radical cure for
every form Of dyspepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold
by druggists everywhere at 80 cents
per package. 1t Is prepared by the
Stuart Chemical Co. Marshall, Mich,
and while 1t promptly and effectually
restores a vigorous digestion, at the
same time Is perfectly harmless and

ach, but on the contrary by giving
