antiy impressed by the abandonment of

Sugar went off yesterday. though a re-
covery at the close left the price only
an eighth below the opening. The Dosch-
ers began to turn out refined sugar yes
terday, and it is to tie supposed that it
was because of this that the spectators
sold the stock of the trust down. 1t is
rather interesting that the stock did not
decline much further than 1t did The
fact is attracting some attention that.

If We Have No Just Grievance Against
Spain, However, There viii BE No War
Merely to Please Jingoes Few Devel-
opments From Havana

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Very little
addition al light was shed yester-
day upon the situation in Havana har-
Dor, A strong feeling of reserve con-
tinues to be manifested on every hand
pending the investigation, but the
conviction is steadily growing that
the United States is confronting Sc
rious crisis. There is no excitement,
however. Public men are waiting,
expecting that inside of another week
the true facts will become known.
Until they can form an intelligent
opinion of the cause of the disaster
they have no policy.
Everybody understands that ii this
calamity can be traced to Spanish Of
ficials, directly or indirectly, there is
liable to be trouble. The administra-
ton knows what the sentiment of the
American people is If the war fever
is justified by the result of the inquiry
those who have been clamoring for
war may have a chance to prove their
patriotism. If, ON the contrary, the
facts should not Justify war, there
will be no announce ment of war pol
icy, whether that be unpopular or not.
Those who have held to the accident
theory are rapidly abandoning their
belief. The situation is considered to
be gaining in gravity from the fact
that the cabinet meeting yesterday
was almost entirely given up to dis
cussion of the Maine disaster, and talk
of accident was less tenacious than
after the meeting of a few days ago.

HAVANA, Feb. 96-The United
States naval board of inquiry contin-
ned yesterday taking the testimony of
the divers who have been working in
the wreck of the Maine. Those sent
here from the battleship Iowa and the
cruiser New York were examined

be kept afoat, and the Spanish au-
thorities here will be informed that II
they wish the wreck removed from the
harbor they must attend to the work
themselves. This decision gives a
better idea of the terrible havoc
wrought in the Maine than columns
of description could do.
Twenty unknown bodies of the crew
were recovered from the wreck by
the divers yesterday. The bodies
were frightfully burned and mangled
and it may be impossible to ever iden-
tify some of them.
Holzer, who made such brave
fight, died in the hospital to-day.

but surely sinking into the mud.

appliances. practically A'thing in this
line has been accomplished. Aside
from the officers cabin effects, the

small. The cloudy weather and rain
made the work of the divers unsatis-
factory yesterday and very little was
done.

from the wreck Beyond this, no
statement is made as to the value and
nature of the contents.
The complaint Is still made thatthe
electric lamps are of little use to the
divers, as the light is faint and uncer-
certain, and to hold them takes one OF
the divers hands.

A FRIENDS ADVICE.
And what it led to.

II Is not common occurrence that a
friendly word should be the means of CIV
ing nearly forty years of happiness and
health TO the person needing the advice it
carried. This was the case with Mary
I,ingard. At twenty-five she was dragging
out her days in misery. At sixty-one She
finds herself SO active and strong She can
do work that would shame many younger
woman, and looks back on thirty-six
happy, healthful years of industry. But
let her tell her story:
"Thirty-six years ago had great trouble
with my liver The doctors allowed that
there were tumors growing on it, and they
blistered my side in an effort to give me
relief. l was at that time earning my
living as a tailoress, but for five years,
between the pain in my side and the
blisters I was in constant misery, and
work was a drag to me, with no prospect
of relief; fortunately for me, however, n
friend advised me 20 take DR.. Ayers Sar-
saparilla, and finally persuaded me to take
menced taking the Sarsaparilla my side
was so painful that could not fasten my
dress. and for a time 1 did not get any
relief, but my friend advised me to per-
severe and relief was sure to come, and
come it did. This happened, as 1 say,
thirty-siX years ago. My liver has never
troubled me since, and during these years
have passed through the most critical
period of a woman's life without any par
ticular trouble, and to-day, at siXty-one

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 96.-William

mint has been arrested on charge of
stealing gold bullion and is held in
S., 900 bail Martin Eggers, a grocer,
and w. d. Carter, a horseshoer, were
also arrested, but released on their
own recognizance. 1t is alleged that
Clarkson's thefts consisted of small
pieces of gold which were detached
from the working up of bullion in the
coming machine. They did not
amount to over $50 a month, but are
supposed to have continued over
period of two years or more.

recovery have taken couple of bottles
of DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla each spring, and
am quite satisfied that l owe my good
health to this treatment. l give this testi-
monial purely in the hope that it may
meet the eye of some poor sufferer
MARY LINGARD, Woodstock, Ont.
DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-illa has won its way
to every corner of the world by the praise
of its friends; those who have tried ii and
who know they were cured by the use OF
the remedy. There is nothing so strong
as this personal testimony. 1t thr ows all
theories and fances to the winds and
stands solidly upon the rock OF expert
ence challenging every skeptic with a
positive ~ knOlC." Ayers Sarsaparilla
with its purifying and vitalizing action on
the blood is a radical remedy for every
form of disease that begins in tainted or
impure blood. Hence tumors, sores,
ulcers, boi1s, eruptions and similar dis
eases yield promptly TO this medicine.
but persistence with DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla usually results in complete cure.
Mary Lingard began with bottle, and
went on to a course of DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. When she was cured she realized
that a medicine that could cure disease
could also prevent it. So she took a couple
of bottles each spring and kept i'll perfect
health. There are thousands of similar
cases on record. Some of these are
gathered into DR.. Ayers Curebook, little
book of 100 pages which is sent free by the

A BIG COAL CONTRACT.
Govern mont, Orders 500, 900 Tons Sent
to Naval Coallng Stations


PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 26.-That the
United States government lis prepar-
ing to meet any exigency that may
arise by reason of the investigation OF
the Maine disaster is now beyond dis
pute, and the fact that the proper au.
thorities have just placed contracts
for the delivery of 800, oCO tons of coal
at tie different coaling stations of the
war vessels of this country, in the
West Indies and along the Florida
and gulf coasts, is further evidence
that the Washington authorities see
trouble with Spain in sight and are
getting ready to meet the issue
squarely.
Contracts and all arrangements for
the rapid handling and shipping of
the coal were made, and the govern
ment, it is understood, is to pay
bonus to both the coal miners and the
railroads if the 100000 tons were de-
livered within a specified time.
