HOUSTON, MONDAY, Arm. ii, lsos.
SPANS LATEST MOVE.

Spain has given another evidence OF the
diplomatic talent which Is guarding her
interests in the present crisis by seeming
to yield to the representations OF the great
powers in granting an armisticc.' ana
placing us In the attitude of forcing fight
should We disregard this new phase OF tha
situation
The funny thing about this grant" of
IN armistice is the assumption that Snaiu
is mahing generous concession In the
premises! As "A matter of fact il is the one
course that Spain would b. glad to pursue
just at this time. The approach Of the
rainy and sickiy season IN Cuba is threat
ening TO the health and efficiency of the
Spanish troops. On the other hanl. thi i
season is the one In which the Insurgents
do their most effective work. Proof against
the climate familiar with tho topog raoby
OF the island and used to the rainy
weather, the insurgent banes become e.
pecially, active during the summer and win
their most pronounced successes. They arc
asking for no concessions from Spain short
OF independence and do not d,sire an
armistice
The Spanish officials, therefore, In as
Stunning to grant something that they them
selves would really like to asl, Mt this
stage OF the proceedings, arc inaulgtrg
again IN that naughty and high sounding
duplicity which has characterized their
conduct throughout all the diplomatic
negotiations.
The granting" of this delay which viii
enable Spain TO reeuperate and psrfee,
Its defensive measures is not only farci al.
but. coupled as II is with a distinct de-
ciaration that 1t is not done in complain o
with American demands is in the nature
OF an insulting defiance to the United
e'a'es' At tue Same time II * partly de-
signed to check executive or congressional
action on our part and TO enlist European
sympathy still further In SPANS behalf,
spain can say TO the great powers that she
has needed their advice and virtually
placed herself In their hands for protection
against the United States during tho con-
unuanco OF the armisticc. It is this very
protection that the willy Dons have b.en
seeking for months past.
In short this grant Of an armlsticc Il
a smart trick and there will be less ta,ont
at Washington than is popularity suspected
II tho administration falls into tho trn,
Tho United States have gone too far IN
retreat now. We have made certain de-
mands that we can not afford to have side
tracked or ignored in this cavalier style bv
spain. To admit tho right OF the powers 10
stop IN at this juncture and cause a With
orawal Of our propositions, would bs n
complete backdown. An armistlce can NOT
accomplish the removal OF the nintoler-
able conditions" In Cuba to which MIR.

Mrs. Cordelia Botkin. whose name now

When the case of Mrs. Botkin was
called Judge Cook ordered that the pris-
oner be discharged so far as the warrant
of extradition, issued by Governor Budd,

tody on bench warrant issued under au-
thority of the Indictment The prisoner
was then arraigned, and after her plea
had been entered George A. knight asked
that further proceedings be postponed

The final assignment of the remaining

of the last of the troops that have for six
months been encamped here. The New
port, Pennsylvania, Zealandia and City
of Pueblo are the transports that will

be sufficient to carry all OF the troops.
The Zealandia will sail this afternoon
with companies A, B, G, E, f. l. and NJ
of the First Tennessee Regiment. On the
vessel will go Colonel Smith and his head
quarters with five hospital stewards,
making in all $50 men that will sail on

on Thursday If nothing should happen to

now, but will wait for General ..44ller who
desires to get all the troops off before he

In Each Case $50 Damages Are

PATRONS WOULD NOT AFFIX
THE STAMPS.

The Sinking of its war stamp tax by
Wells, Fargo & Co. may soon prove to
be an expensive proceeding, judging from
the developments in the Justices Courts
Saturday. Two more suits were filed
against the express company by tndig-
nant citizens, who had vainly offered to
the San Francisco Office Of the company
certain parcels of merchandise. with the
money for the express charges. but with
out the extra one cent in each case for
the war stamp.
The complaints were both filed by the
law firm of MCGOWAN & Squires, the
plaintiffs being H. B. Benham and B.
Johnson, both residents of this city. In
each case damages amounting to $50 are
asked.
Benham states in his petition that on
September % he offered a parcel of mer-
chandise to the company for transporta-
ton to Santa Barbara, at the same time
rendering the regulation charge Of 80
cents. The agent of the company refused
to receive the package. The shipper was,
therefore, put to great inconvenience and
was obliged to send his package by an
In view of the fact that Wells. Fargo &
Co. is a common carrier, he considers

ter is worth $50 to him, and he prays
Johnson's complaint is similar, except
that his package was destined for OAK
land, and he rendered the price Tor trans
portation-25 cents-which was refused.
This happened on September r. He also
considers the refusal of Wells, Fargo &
Co. to handle his consignment to be
worth $50.
It is quite evident that the practice of
the express company in avoiding its just
tax is going to be the means of enrich
ing all of the citizens of San Francisco
who care to take the trouble to offer a
parcel to the agent of the Wells-Farog
concern, and after it is refused for lack

ADVERTISEMENTS.
GET FLESH.

Get Strength. Vleor. cleor Complexion
end Good Digestion. Not by Poteps
Medicine, but in Koture's Own Woy
Any 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 digested.
There is no reason or common sense in
other method whatever
People are thin, run down, nervous,
pale, and shaky in their nerves simply
because their .stomachs are weak.
They may not think they have dys-
pepsia, but the fact remains that they
do not eat enough food, or what they
eat is not quickly and properly digest
ed, as it should be.
DR. Harlandson says the reason is
because the stomach lacks certain di-
gestive acids and peptOnes and de-
dcient secretion of gastric juice.
Natures remedy in sucl- 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 designed especially for all stomach
troubles, and which cure all digestive
weakness on the common sense plan
of furnishing the digestive principles
which the stomach lacks.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give per-
feet digestion. First effect is to in
crease the appetite, and increased
vigor, added flesh, pure blood and
strength of nerve and muscle is the
perfectly natural result.
Stuart'S DVSpeDSia 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 80 cents for full-sized
package or direct by mail from Stuart
