HOW TO BE CURED.

After we realize the most common cause of
failure TO obtain relief from chronic or long
standing diseases, il is well TO consider the
means OF obtaining cure, and To this end the
first thing To do is to discover exactly what
is the true condition is primarily affected and
what Is the exact nature of the trouble, what
are TIE complications, what other organs are
involved, what are the temperments, doethe-
sis, natural characteristics, hereditary peculi.
arties of the patient, what is the effect of the
disease with its complications upon this indi-

1t is an unfortunate fact that a large percent
age of persons afflicted with chronic affections
are treated for the wrong disease. The symp-
toms of many different diseases are very
much alike and IL often requires most care
full examination to arrive at correct diagno-
sis, and it is obviously impossible to treat
disease properly when its characteristics are
not known. in fact great injury is often done

A Definite POLICY.

The Sending of the Torpedo FlOtilla to
Havana Will He Considered an Overt Act
of War.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-The policy
of the United States has been definitely
laid down, and it leads straight toward
the independence of Cuba. On the very
highest authority your correspondent
is enabled to describe the systematic
plans that underlie the apparently
vaciliating actions of the admins
government that Spain's naval
strength in Cuban waters shall be
further increased pending negotia-
tions for her entire withdrawal from
the island.

good excuse Tor refraining from send

in this direction. If they per-
sist in dispatching their fotil.
la, the proceeding will be taken as
an overt act of war, and the flying
squadron, containing the swift New

PEACE OR WAR.

The Cabinet May Decide to Recognise the
Independence of Cuba.
WASHINGTON, March 18.-Unless all
signs fail the coming week is to be one
which will make history for this coun-
try rather rapidly. The event which
will do much to decide the relations
between this country and Spain is like
ly to begin with the meeting of the
cabinet Friday, as the word has gone
forth among the presidents advisers
that action may be taken which will
decide the preliminary questions of
peace or war.
The general impression is that the
president has finally made up his mind
to throw down the whole horde of
mercenaries and stock -jobbing pol
iticians who have sought to influence
him in the direction of some disgrace
full compromise on a money basis.
There is now no doubt of the fact
that Senator Proctor's speech in the
senate Thursday afternoon was care
fully designed by the authority of the
president himself, to prepare the pub
lie mind for radical action in the inn
mediate future.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The presi-
dent expects the report of the court of
inquiry Friday or next day. 1t may
even now be on its way from Key West
to Washington. When the court ar
rived at Key West Wednesday from
Havana and reported to Adm. Sicard
what progress it had made toward
reaching the end of its long task the
admiral promptly communicated with
the secretary Of the navy. 1t was the
secretary's purpose to have full
synopsis of the courts conclusions put
ington. Upon consultation with the
president, however, this plan was
abandoned.
Both the president and the secre.
tary are determined that no efforts
be spared to maintain the secrecy of
the courts verdict, until they them
selves have determined to give it pub
licity. Therefore even the admirably
designed naval cipher code could not
be relied upon with complete satisfac-
tion, and at the presidents instance
Adm. Sicard was directed to place the
documents in the custody of some
naval officer, according to the usual
methods and forward them to Wash
ington in that manner. Whether this
officer has started or not is not yet
known, but if he and Adm. Sicard
have executed their orders with the
regular naval promptness it will
not BIZ long before the president is
placed in possession of such informa-
tion and conclusions as the court has
SO far reached. It is not even known
positively that these conclusions are
final, but if the ordinary routine of
the courts inquiry has been followed
in this case they probably are SO, un-
lie IS the secretary Of the navy believes,
after looking into the testimony, that
some lines of investigation should be
further pursued.
Adm. Sicard is the very incarnation
of caution in the discharge of official
matters and as he is technically re.

squadron was brought about by purely
strategic considerations, although it
appears from the nature of the
force so far under orders to
rendezvous at Hampton Roads, that
this strategy is of the defensive ma
ture. The new squadron can not be
called flying squadron" because the
association of heavy battleships with
fleet cruisers like the Brooklyn, Colum-
bia and Minneapolis reduces the avail
able speed of the whole to the speed of
the slowest vessel, and the squadron
could not do much 'fying" in the
naval sense. The indications rather
are that when reinforced by some
smaller cruisers the squadron will con-
stitute an ideal naval defense. For
the past two months influences have
been at work in the navy department
about this change, and as policy
board, headed by Capt. Crowninshield,
has been in frequent session of late at
the department, it is believed that it
has endorsed the plan at last. AL
though the other ships to be added to
the squadron have not yet been def
nitely selected, it is surmised that they
will include some of the other battle
ships at Key West and the armored
cruiser New York, in which case Adm.
Sicard. it is believed, will command
the new force. In place of the cruiser
New York the people of Key West
will look upon the grim outlines of
the big monitor, Puritan, supposedly
the most powerful ship in smooth
water in the world. She will have to
assist her on guard the double-turreted
monitor Miantonomah and the monitor
Amphitrite. The Puritan is now at
Norfolk almost ready for sea; the
Miantonomah is at League Island quite
ready, and so is the Amphitrite at Port
Royal, s. c. So the order in the end
will result in the gathering of the pick
of the North Atlantic squadron
at Hampton Roads. The roint
is said to be the best strategic
ally on the Atlantic coast. 1t is al.
most centrally located and the ships
from that point can reach any portion
of the coast in short order. which is re-
garded as desirable since no one can
tell just where flotilla of torpedo de-
stroyers or fast cruiser may turn up
with hostile intent to attack
town. Besides, the second best
navy yard in the country is there
to fall back upon for repairs
to the ships, plenty of the best coal is
a Newport News, there is easy water
to navigate, and finally the forts at
Hampton Roads may serve as base of
operations in case of need for protec-
tion. These are the considerations
which animated the navy department
in making this new order. 1t is
announced that the commander of
the new squadron has not yet been
selected, and pending that selection
or the arrival in port of Adm. Sicard
1T is expected that Capt. Hig-
ginson. the commander of the battle
ship Massachusetts,, and the senior Of
ficer will hold the command of the
squadron.
Remaining at Key West after the
departure of the Massachusetts and
the Texas, Adm. Sicard will still have
a feet of his own in numbers, when
the spectacle will be presented of a
feet and squadron on one station,

With The acquisition Of Hawaii many
facts not heretofore generally known
will come TO light There are many
wonderful plantations on the Islands.
and their fertility is so great that few
can estimate the extent Of the country =
natural resources.
One of the most Interesting of all
he group of Island is Maui, which
boasts of having the largest and most
picturesque extinct volcano in the
world, as well as the greatest of all
plantations, that OF the Hawaiian Com
mercial Company.
The volcano Of Ha!eak3la Is about
thirty miles from the town of Spreck-
elsviIe. on the Island of Maui. The
own is interesting. but the plantation
alone is worth a careful study. Nisi-
tors to the island do nos often so up
to the almost inaccessible crater of
Halcakala.
HaIeakala is likely to become a great
pleasure resort in the future. It is
highly probable that a road far more
accessible than any that now exists
will be put through to the summit Of
the mountain that contains this great
crater. as the reads to it are now al
most impossible.
The great crater of HaIeakaia. which
is called that because the word means
the palace" or home of the sun is
almost thirty miles in circumference,
being a great pit that was once a liv-
ing volcano. There is n gap on one
side that leads TO the ocean. and
through this the mists rush every
morning in such a way as TO form
many fantastic clcud-forms. Sir Ed
win Arnold. Mark Twain. and other
weIl-known writer's have described this
as the most marvellous sight in all the
world.
But before one gets to this enchant-
ing spot he comes to the town Of
Spreckelsville One will there see as
many as 5000 acres of sugar growing
"a one time. To properly conduct the
business of the plantation requires
