state department. as a matter Of lnfor-
nation. translation OF a report made
by the Belgian consul at Manila upon the
export trade OF the Philippines during
1881 During that year there was a great
increase in the export trade. notwith-
standing the rebellion. the export OF
hemp alone increasing nearly 100000
pounds. copra exports also increased
neary 10000 poG:1s. although the busi-
ness only dates from 1882 prior to which
time almost the copra came from the
carollnes. The exports Of sugar by Man
fla decreased nearly s2c0OOO pounds, but
at Cebu the contrary was the case, and
In the viscayas and Negroes Islands the
product Of sugar was greatly developed.
The export Of cigars fell OF from 1884,
$500 in 1886 to si.lSs.Ooo In 1897. China
and Japan imported more OF these cigars
than any other country. and only a very
small norton came to the United States.

GET FLESH.
Get Strength. vtS"~ Clear Compl"~ an
and Good Digestion. Not by Patent
Medicine, but in Natures
Own Way

Anv honest physician will tell you that
there is but one way to get increased
flesh; all the patent medicines and cod
liver oils to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
Nature has but one way to increase
flesh strength and vigor, mind and body,
and that Is through the stomach, by
wholesome food well dlgested. There is
no reason or common sense In any other
method whatever,
People are thin, run down, nervous,
nale and shaky In their nerves simply
because their stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have dyspep-
sIa, but the fact remains that they do not
eat enough food, or what they eat is not
quickly and properly digested as It
should be,
DR.. Harlandson says the reason is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones and deficient secre-
tlon of gastric juice.
Natures rsnedy in such cases Is to
supply what the weak stomach lacks.
There are several good preparations
which will do this, but none so readily as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which are de-
signed especially for all stomach troubles
and which cure all digestive weakness on
the common sense plan of furnishing
the digestive principles which the stom-
ach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give perfect
digestion. First effect is to increase the
appetlte and increased vigor, added flesh,
pure blood and strength of nerve and
muscle Is the perfectly natural result
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
tonic known and will cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach. May be found at druggists at
30 cents for full sized package or direct
by mail from Stuart Co, Marshall Mich.

MIR. GLADSTONE.
His Family Admits That His Case Is Hopeless
 One.

London. March 26.-Mr. Gladstone is dy- ing of a cancerous growth involving the bone tissues back of the nasal passages. The melancholy truth Is now admitted pri- vately by his son, MT. Herbert Gladstone, and other members of his family.
 The. unanimous verdict of several special- ists who have been consulted regarding the case Is that an operation is impossible ow- ing to the age and enfeebled condition of the patient.
 It would be possible to afford considerable relief and also to prolong life by surgical means if MT. Gladstone were younger, but his heart already threatens failure to per- form it's functions, and the surgeons are of the opinion that the administration of an- aesthetics would result in immediate death
 The only relief possible is that afforded by opiates and other palliatives. These will be used freely as the disease pro- gresses, for although they tend to shorten life. it Is the wise judgment of the physl- clans and the family alike that they would not be justified in seeking to prolong the agony which has already led the aged suf- fsrer to express pitiful longing for death.
 The pain has now continued for six months, and, although it Is somewhat less acute than 1t was a few weeks ago. tha strength and vitality of the patients won- derful constitution are sadly drained.
 The end, when 1t comes will be from fail- ure of the hearts action, rather than from the direct ravages of the terrible malady, It Is hardly probable that 1t will be long delayed.

the provision that none of the money ap- proprlated for the naval station at Port Royal should be available until the United States acquired title to the land claimed by Agnes A. Niver. adjacent to the Port Royal dry dock.
 The point of order was overruled There upon MT. Elliott moved to strike out the provision.
 MT. Len.tz (dem.) of Ohio argued that it was criminal to suspend an appropriation for a naval station with a proviso at such a time as this. War was at our doors. We had appropriated s50,000 900 to prepare to meet it. The Spanish fiotilla was ap- preaching. the country. "It Is boys play" he said, 'ft Is cowardlce to talk about &C., quiring title to land at a. great naval sta ton now. The naval station should be prepared for action" .(Applause). s-.
 MT. Dayton Gep.) of West Virginia said: "We could lick six countries Gke Spain in the time necessary to build the proposed key wall at Port Royal"
 The amendment was lost 13-63.
 When the paragraph providing for the construction of four timber dry docks at Portsmouth, N. H., Boston, Mass. Mare Island Cal, and League Island was reached no point of order was made against it but Mir. Cannon, chairman of the appropfia- tiens committee moved Co reduce the num- Der of timber docks to be ordered to three

 Not an Opportune Time
 aIr. Cannon discussed in a general way the proposed increase in the navy, dry docks and battleships. Personally, he dis claimed any interest in any locality. But he begged gentlemen to remember that a dry dock necessarily meant a navy yard and because he believed this was no time to establish new navai stations, he gave mo- tice that he would make a point of order against the proposed steel dry docks at Algiers, La, and also against the investiga- ton of the desdrability of locating a dock at Galveston, Tex. He was opposed, he declared, to amy attempt to foist upon the house under the cry of emergency. new work which could not stand on it's merits. He appealed to the members to meet the situation with ''loyal hearts and cool heads.' (Applause)
 MT. Robbins (rep) of Pennsylvania. moved to strike out the provision for a dry dock at Portsmouth. Lost, 64-100, as was also that of MT. Cannon, 7S-1N.

SPAIN MAY MAKE A BACK DOWN

London, March 26-Afthough public opinion on this side of the Atlantic as in America, had already discounted the find ings of the United States court of inquiry into the loss of the Maine and actual con- .flrmation was expected the verdict only served to whet peoples appetites.
 It has in no way alleviated the suspense or the anxiety in regard to the immediate effect produced by the report, nor the eagerness to know the position which President Mckinley and his cabinet pro- pose to take in this difficult and delicate situation. So intense Is the interest in the latest turn of the kaleidoscope that 1t has immeasurably increased the nervous ten- sion which has been agitating Europe for the last three months There Is little hope here that hostilities can be averted and 1t Is believed the revelation now officially made will so combine the other factors of the situation as to make war inevitable, though 1t is still regarded as possible that Spain at the last moment will see the hope lessness of maintaining her position and yield to the inevitable without, as a British admiralty official said, "having the lesson unmercifully hammered into her, although the hammering may possibly not be ae- complished until after her spirits have been raised by temportary success"
 Leading by Three Lengths
 It Is at last realized here that the move ment to abate the Cuban scandal Is no longer in the hands of the jingoes; but that the solid sentiment of the United States bids the executive act when the proper moment arrives, that the risks have been estimated and that the great body of Americans are ready to face them.
 So far as 1t is possible to ascertain the general diplomatic opinion 1t can be sum- med up in the words of foreign office off, cial who remarked:
 ''The preservation of peace depends upon the temper Spain displays when the in- evtable notification is delivered. The pres ident proposes to relieve the sufferers by distributing food, clothes and medicines from American warships and transports, precisely as Great Britain Is now unofficial ly and on a smaller scale doing in Crete and unless Spain pockets her overweening conceit which has hitherto made the recog- milton of her failure impossible to her, a rupture must come from that quarter and Spain will put herself hopelessly in the wrong.

TURNED TABLES.
). |. Parsley Makes Complaint Against the
 Strickland Family.

The case against John and Belle Strick- land, charged with violating section 573 of the city code, came up in police court yes- terday morning, and was postponed until next Saturday.
 Some time ago J. L. Parsley, the pros- ecuting witness in this case, was arrested at the instigaion of Mrs. Strickland on the charge of defamation of character. It ap pears that Parsley had made some derog- atory remarks about Mrs. Strickland and her daughter. and they endeavored to make him prove the correctness of his insinua- tions. The case came up in police court, and a number of witnesses were sum- moned.
 The evidence introduced by the prosecu- tion on the first day of the trial was very detrimental as to Mrs. Strickland's char acter, and the case was abandoned. Pars- ley was discharged and then turned the tables on the Stricklands by making a com- plaint, together with two other house. holders of that locality, that the Strick- lands were conducting a bawdy house and that the nuisance should be abated.
 The case promises to attract much at tention when 1t comes up for trial.

war and her finance minister's assurance tbat she has sufficient funds therefor are erNalIy untenable unless the latter con t plates the immediate suspension of specie payments and the payment ofFthe interest the debt in paper. The ruth is that Spain is no more in a position to fight the United States than was Greece to fight Turkey. The one great hope of the European chancellories is that Presi- dent Mckinley will succeed in delaying the explosion. Under the guise of auton- omy arrangements may possibly be made to facilitate Spain's giving up Cuba. It must be remembered that for two years although Spain has at times assumed a vigorous attitude, she has invariably failed to maintain it when the crisis was reached. The suggestion of the continental press of intervention upon the part of the European powers is mischievous and nothing is more certain to provoke hostilities."
 It has been suggested that the presence in London of the Infanta Eulalia Is con nected in some way with diplomacy, but the list of guests at the official reception given In her honor at the Spanish ambas- sador's party hardly lends color to the assumption. The nervousness of the stock exchange is evidenced by the crumbing in prices, and it is further indicated by the fact of the insurance against war risks done at Lloyds at 20 per cent premium The Statist says: ''Whie the outbreak of
  Madrid would be much worse off. It would nlean the immediate suspension of specie payments and either the suspension Of interest on the debt on paper payment. The financial crisis would react on Paris with the probable effect of throwing New York's demand for gold on London and so indi- rectly great prices of all securietles
 Suspension of Specie Pay ment q Continuing, the Statist says: v"The gov ernment Is indebted to the Bank of Spain between eleven and twelve hundred million pesetas, about 40 per cent. more than in. 1897, and the position of the bank is such that the suspension of specie payments is bound to follow any large tender of notes. It's bullion is only 40 per cent. of It's note circulation.
 According to Madrid advices, the papers there are whistMng loudly trying to arouse a sense of wrong with the doctrine that war de facto was declared wfren the Unite1 States permitted support to be furnished the insurgents. Early during the week strict censorship denuded the newspapers of news and created widespread alarm. This was enhanced by the suppression of all news of the movements of the Spanish torpedo fotilla and the announcement that a cruiser would accompany the destroyers which was taken to mean that the Span tsnds feared attempts would be made by the United tSates to stop the fiotilla on its way to Porto Rico.
 Great interest tS taken in the elections tomorrow for members of the Spanish chamber of deputies. It is reported that General Weyler has telegraphed to his friends in Cuba to withdraw their candi- dates for seats in the Cuban chamber.
