 Looked Up.

Washington, Nov IS The admins. tration feels encouraged TOW over the outlook of successful termination ot the lafoes of the peace commissioners a5 Paris. Whether this renewed eonfdencs is based upon an abstract Of the Spanish reply which was submitted at Wednes- day s meetiag, or is founded upon pri. vate advices indicating a weakening Of the Spanish position, is nos known, but it is probable both these have had in- fu9nce on brightening the prospects.
 The clerical foroa of the American peace commission was busy nearly all "Wednesday night translahng the Span. ish memorandum presented Ut Wednes. days joint session While the trans. lators and typewriters were rendering Spanish argument into printed English, the counsel for the American commission studied It sheet by sheer, making notes of records to be examined and law points bearing on the matter il hand. As q re. suit when the Americans gathered for their daily session yesterday the span- ish presentment lay before them in Eng fish, ready for consideration and accom- panied by data bearing upon 1t.
 The movement of United States troops to Havana will begin within 10 days. The exact date of their arrival there will be determined by the reports of Majo. General Greene, who commands the di- vision of the Seventh corps, and now in Havana on business connected with gar risoning that province.
 The occupation of Cienfuegos is also receiving attention. General Snyder will command the First brigade which lands in that province. He will be fol- lowed soon afterwards by Major General Wilson and the First corps.

Y, in q recent letter writes as follows: "There has never been anything that I have taken that has relieved the dyspep- sia from which have suffered for ten years except the new remedy called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Since taking them 1 have had no distress at all after eating and again after long years can sleep well. Rev. F, l :. Bell, Weedsport, N. Y., formerly, Idalia, Colo.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a re- markable remedy, not only because it is a certain cure for all forms of indigestion, but because it seems to act as thoroughly in old chronic eases of dyspepsia as well as ill mild attacks of indigestion or biliousness. 4 person has dyspepsia simply be- cause the stomach is overworked, all it wants is a harmless. vegetable remedy to digest the food and thus give it the much needed rest.
 This is the ecret of the success of this peculiar remedy. No matter how weak or how much disordered the digestion may be, Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not. New life and energy sgiven not only to the stomach but to every organ and nerve in the body. A trial of this splendid medicine will convince the most skeptical that dyspepsia and all stomach troubles can be cur ed. The tablets are prepared by the F. A. Stuart Co.,, of Marshall, Mich., but go popular has the remedy be- come that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets can now be obtained at any drug store at 50 cents per package.

Huntington added that the story that two new steamships had been ordered was at least premature, although addi' tions to the company's fleet were con. templated, because it's business needs them.
