went down. The owners of the vessel
have no news of the reported disaster. 1t
cannot be ascertained how many passen-

BANEFUL INDIGESTION.
THE DISORDERS IT CAUSES AND TIE
PoIsoNs IT INsTILs IN THE BLOOD.

If we only knew how dangerous msldious
and ruthless disease indigestion is, we would
not wait as we do before endeavoring to cure 1t.
The longer we wait, the more dangerous luis
likely to become. ~.
60 the sooner we take Shaker Digestive Cor
dial the better it will be, and the better we will
be. -
INDIGESTION is dangerous because it creates
nelson's in the stomach which are absorbed by
the blood and by it carried to all parts OF
the body.
Could anything be worse than this?
These poisons would not be formed If the
stomach could digest its food. When it can't,
Shaker Digestive Cordial will help it to do so.
Nothing will help the stomach so well as
Shaker Digestive Cordial, nothing else cure in
digestion so quickly or so positively.
The reason is that it purities the stomach and
the blood and makes your food strengthen i'll
stead of poison you.
1t is not a medicine, but an aid to digestion, a
pleasant cordial for weak stOmachs.
Sold by druggists. Ten cents tor trial

the rights and welfare of our own people
This love of Justice, humanity, liberty
and independence of foreign oppression
constrained our people to regard the per-
secuted native people of Cuos Wl1n
earnest sympathy and caused them TO AZ
miro and applaud their heroism IN 1ne
defense of their homes and families
AGAINST the most atrocious violence. In
this demonstration of sympathy with sne
cause of the republic Of Cuba our people
almost with one accord, admitted tneiF
obedience to the obligations and duties OF
Christian civilization and demanded the
Intervention of our government against
their cruel abuse and abandonment by
Spain in the war of determination now
being conducted against the Cuban
people. This committee has found no
reason for suggesting the modification OF
the aotionsof the Senate on that resolution
in any mart of the history of the war IN
Cuba. The necessity for thai aclion mas
been made more manifest since the pas
sage of this resolution by the terrors ana
unexampled wrongs to humanity In pro-
cess of perpetuation by Spain against her
former subjects and now more fully real
ICED in the determination OF non. COM
batants by tens of thousands and their
starvation by military orders in groups
of hundreds Of thousands who, lingering,
still live.
1.-THE Senate has nothing to correct or
modify as to the action that was taken
in the adoption of the resolution now
again presented for its action and still
hopefully invites the concurrence OF the
House of Representatives In all parlia.
mentary usage and in accord with the
spirit of our institutions, the Houses in
their action upon ali questions presented
to them are entirely free and independent
in their deliberations and votes. 1t is
needless to say that any attempt to coerce
one of the houses of Congress by the
action of the other is derogatory to the
welfare of the country, and it is high
duty of each House to avoid giving to the
other any reasonable ground of complaint
or apprehension of such a purpose.
The committee extends the argument
on this latter point. saying that the pas
sage of the appropriation bill is necessary
to the maintenance Of the government
and that thu incorporation of the amend
ment as a part of the diplomatic bill,
especially after the House declined to
place it there, would necessarily be re-
garded as an attempt at colnpulsion by
the House.
"The desire of the committee that the
Joint resolution adopted by the Senate
should be adopted by the House of Repre-
sentatiyes is earnest and unanimous, but
they do not recommend that any action
should be taken in the Senate that Will,
| or can, in any way, be considered by that
| honorable body as an interference with
| their perfect freedom and independence
| in their elaboration upon any measure.
| The committee recommends that the pro-
posed amendment be laid upon the table. .
