SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink ham from Mrs. M. RANK, No. 2,354 East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia, Pa., is remarkable statement of re- lief from utter Encouragement. She says:
 "Inever can find words with which to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound has done for me.
 "Some years ago had womb trouble and doctored for long time, not see- ing any improvement. At times would feel we'll enough, and other. times was miserable. So it went on until last October, I felt something terrible creeping over me, knew not what, but kept getting worse. can hardly explain my feelings at that time. was so depressed in spirits that did not wish to live, although had everything to live for. Had hys- teria, was very nervous; could not sleep and was not safe to be left alone. a.
 " Indeed, I thought would lose my mind. No one knows what I endured
 continued this way until the last of February, when saw in a paper a testimonial of a lady whose case was similar to mine, and who had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's vegeta. ble Compound. determined to try it. and felt better after the first dose. I continuSe taking it, and ,-day am a well woman, and can say from my heart, Thank God for such a medi- cine.'"
 Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering women to write to her at Lynn, Mass, for advice. All such letters are seen and answered by women only.

The News Of the Prayer for Peace Does
Not Disturb Her But She Wants
to Save Something.
UNFORTUNATE SANTIAGO.
People Are Still DYING From the
Effects Of Hunger.

Washington, July a7.-The war depart
ment today made public the following
dispatch received from Gen. Shafter, in
response to query by the department
as to ships being turned from Santiago:
Santiago, via Hayti, July &c. G.17 a. m. }
Adjutant General U. S. A., Washington:
Press reports are not true. only know
of three ships having arrived, one from
Kingston, the others from the United
States. The Bratton has sold its cargo;
the other,a ship from New Orleans, has sold
only part of it.and the captain tells me is
going away tonight. think he will sell
before he leaves. The trouble is they did
rot expect to pay any duty and arrived
here without money. The Spanish Gus
toms, as applied to Spanish subjects, has
only been collected and the 90 cents per
ton as ordered by the secretary. dis
covered this morning an attempt on the
part Of the municipal authorities to col
lect local tax of 40 cents per 100 kilos,
in this instance amounting to So, 500.
had alrsady settled this matter by or
dering its collection. The fact is there is
no money here to do business, and mer
chants are very timid about making pur-
chases, fearing the effect of the Red Gross
agents, who are really feeding the town.
The New Orleans man, for instance,
brought 20 head Of cattle, which he sold
at S65 per head. The person buying kills
one a day, selling thu meat at 70 cents
per pound. OF course only few people
buy. The first week we were here people
were starving to death and I think few
now are from the effects of starvation.
l am positive, however, that the customs
have been honestly administered.
Shafter, Major General
The Portland daily press., 1898-07-28
The Administration Said to Be Unwilling to Be
outwitted by the Enemy.

culties will be internal rather than inter-
national in their character, at least from
the outset.
The President is firmly of the opinion
that the United States has no use for the
Philippine islands asa permanent pos
session. The gravest problems of govern
ment would result were the attempt to be
made to annex them, owing to the hetoro-
geneous and ill favored character OF the
population of the Islands, while any effort
to unite with other powers in joint ad-
ministrauion might be fairly expected to
result as unsatlsfa ctorily as the tripartite
arrangement between the Cniled States,
Great Britain and Germany for the gov
ernment of the Samoan group.
However, there are eviden ces that a
large element in the United States is OF
the opinion that the islands should be ac-
quired by the United States and it is
hoped by the President that before 1t
comes to the formulation officially, OF the
United States demand, public sentiment
in this country, through newspaper dis
cussion and otherwise, will have SO far
crystalized as to enable the government
to perceive the popular demand clearly.
1t may be stated that it is confidently ex-
pected that when the governments arrive
at the point of actually fixing terms they
viii be found much closer together than
is generally supposed. 1t is felt by
officials that with the diplomatic formali-
1 - %I,<,a +b.> ooty
terms would require little time for ar
rangement. and today it was even sug-
gested that the anomalous condition
might be presented of Spain's conceding
as much or more than the United States
felt justified in demanding.
There is little reason to doubt that
Spain has made up her mind to give up
Cuba.
It is almost equally certain that Spain
recognizes that she must consent also to
the abandonment of Porto Rico.
With those two vital points passed,
there is every disposition here not to press
with undue severity on Spain. About the
only reason which would impel this gov
ernment to insist upon an indemnity
would be further stubborn resistance by
Spain.
Speaking broadly, the statement was
made today by an influential official that
a settlement in which Spain conceded TWO
vital points, namely Cuba and Porto
Rico. and at the same time gained two
vital points, namely, freedom for war
indemnity and retention of her control
of the Philippines, would appear to be G
lust baIancs Of equities.
