The doctor came and was surprised TO zee
such an improvement. He told us to keen
giving her the medicine. We gave her one
pill after each meal until eight boxes had
been used when she was we'll. She has not

Just before a recent dinner given in honor
OF some magnate, a young swell, whose chief
claim to distinction seemed to be the height
OF his collar and an eyeglass, addressing a
stranger, said:

the valuable good will of Japan by hand
ing over the Philippines to them
Sir John Colomb, on this point said: 1T
is an event of enormous international i'm
portance | should not be surprised if
the German emperor was not spurred to
some startling action ny the prospects
of his dream of the possession of the
Philippines being shattered by the Amer
the China seas, with his brother in com
mand, and we may hear some significant
move on the part Of that squadron within
day or two. | don't believe he can lie
still in the face of such a blow to his
most cherished hopes"
The idea, if not the hope, prevalent
here that the Spanish fleet would prove a
tough opponent for the United States has
now been entirely dispelled and all con-
fidence in the Spanish fighting power is
gone. The suggestion was thrown out
that the Cape Verde squadron has a rem
devious with the coaling transports at
some out-of-the-way island in the West
indies. where it will replenish the bunk
ers before appearing before Havana. But
the belief of Spanish foresight and organ
ization is 50 entirely dssipated that it is
doubted il the spaniards have taken even
that essential precaution TO equip them
for a decisive engagement

WORTH CULTIVATING.
Few Personal Traits that are None too
Common


Common
FAIR MINDEDNESS We all protest
that we are judicial. and willing to con-
slider both sides of q question, but at
heart we are hot partisans.
CHARITY. Not the charity that losses
a nickel to a beggar, but the charity that
will neither listen to nor spread malicious
gossip.
TRUTH-TE Most of us fail in
this respect, not because we intend to de-
ceive, but because we do not observe cor
rectly and are careless in choosing wordSs
GOOD MANNERS. How many persons
we know whose outside is their worst
side" Some men think that if they are
honest and upright they may be as boor-
ish as they please,
CHEERFULNESS. This is largely a
question of bodily, health. The man with
shaky nerves, weak digestion and ten
dency to lie awake nights may be par
doned for irritability. What he needs is
q general stimulation of the bodily forces,
and he finds it in Duffy's Pure Malt Whis-
ter the snow on an Alpine crag. 1t is
valuable to dyspeptics and TO ali whose
systems are unStrung by work or suS-
pense This whiskey has been honored
with the sanction of conservative physi-
clans of high reputation.
Druggists and grocerS have Duffy's

THE SPANISH CCRTES
Passes Resolution of Homage
Afraid of Great Britain.

Madrid. May BIN the Cortes to-day
a .'resoution of homage in honor of
those killed in the laval engagement
off Cavite was adopted unanimously.
The message from the Queen Regent
was then adopted, the republicans, Car

negative.
The official account of Captain Gen
eral Augustus communication as to the
offer of the British consul at Manila
10 place all Chinese subjects in the
Philippines under the protection of the
British flag, says: Captain General
August wires that the British consul
called upon him to say that he would
take the Chinese subjects in the Phil
ippines under the British flag in order
to safeguard their lives and property.
The Captain General added that a num-
Der of rich and influential Chinese at
Manila had assured him that they were
satisfied with the protection of spain.
Senior Moret, secretary of the colonies,
replied to Captain General August that
there was no reason TO accept the pro-
tectorate which the British consul
wished to exercise. The British con-
sul's offer has been communicated to
the powers"
The government apparently sees some
deep laid Vaccination on the part Of
Great Britain, for the official note
says:
This news caused surprise, although
people are accustomed to the methods
of those who direct British interests"
The question is asked: What can be
the object of the British request? Chi
ma is not in position to expect this or
any other protectorate; but the British
take it upon themselves to be the pro-
tectors of the celestial empire against
French, Russian and German ambi-
tons with a view undoubtedly to ac-
quire a new title by the protection of
Chinese in the Philippines. The Span
ish government cannot accept the role
offered it, and rejects the proposition
at the same time informing the pow
ers who are not disposed to allow
Great Britain to protect China, that
they have squadrons in the Far East
themselves for that purpose.

ADMIRAL DEW Ely
Will Be the Manila Haro's Proud
Title as Seon as the Navy Depart
ment Can Properly Confer 1t.

Washington, May 3.-Secretary Long
announces that as soon as he received
official report from Commodore Dewey
OF his victory, cablegram would be
sent congratulating him. Commodore
Dewey will be made an admiral in rec
ignition of his valor This will be ac-
complished by an executive order des-
ignating him acting admiral, as was
done with Captain Sampson. Later on
he will be nominated to the Senate
in the usual course.
1t is % ieved several European gov
ernments besides Great Britain re-
ceived much information from Manila
respecting the battle before cable COM
of them save the British have shown
a disposition to meet the desire of the
American government for official news.
None of the stories from Spanish
sources appear quite so ridiculous as
the solemn statement thu Commodore
Dewey fired Manila and the Spanish
ships by the use Of petroleum bombs.
AS a matter of fact, there is no such
weapon of warfare in the American
navy, nor would there be any use for
it, The ordinary service shell is very
much more destructive and quite as
capable Of causing a fire in combusti-
BILE material as any contrivance based
upon the use of petroleum.

WEYLER
Writing for the Newspapers
Spain Was Unprepared-.-A Fling at
the Yankees.

Madrid, May (Noon)-An article
written by Gen. Weyler has appeared
in newspaper at Palma, capital of the
Island Of Majorica, where the general
was born and where his home is sit
uated. The general says that if the
government had been prepared, Spain
would now be covered with glory.
Continuing. Gen. Weyler asserts
that the Spanish army and navy are
superior in discipline to the Yankees,
whose lack Of discipline was mani
tested in the loss Of the Maine"
Gen. Weyler then accuses the Span
ish government of weakness, and con-
cludes with making pessimistic pre-
dictions regarding the future.
