San Antonio, Texas. August 22.-Tor
several days the eight troops of the
First Texas cavalry stationed at Fort
Sam Houston have been somewhat
wrought up over their chances of being
mustered out.
This regiment is now undoubtedly
one of the best organized and best
trained volunteer regiments in the SER
vice. and it has always been anxious
to see actual service at the front. The
close of the war having virtually pre-
Guided this possibility however, the
members of the regiment for the most
part have manifested n strong desire
to be relieved from military duty and
return to their former vocations in
civil life and when the presidents in
tentlon of mastering out such troops
as desired to retire from the service
was announced a few days ago the
men begun to sign petitions to be dis
charged
Early yesterday afternoon a meet
ing of the troop commanders was held
to discuss the situation and plan
of action was decided on for securing
definite expression from the men Of
the regiment in. regular manner
When the troops were lined up for
retreat at sunset the commander of
each troop announced to his men that
on Monday a vote would be taken to
find out how many men wanted to be
mustered out.
Immediately afterwards a test vote
was taken by the first sergeant of each
troop and it was developed that there
was almost unanimous desire on the
part of the men to be discharged. In
the eight troops there We're only about
forty-fve men who announced their
desire of remaining in the service.

WAR NOT ENDED
SAGASTA SAYS POSSIBILITIES
ARE MERELY SUSPENDED.


Madrid, August 2O.-Senor Sagasta
has stated that the actual situation
now existing between Spain and the
United States is neither peace nor
war, and that the situation is merely
a suspension of hostllltles. Spain de-
sired an armistice, but the United
States did not agree to 1t. Spain, III
resignng her sovereignty in CUBA ana
Porto Rico, has not renounced all De-
longing to her. The United States as
an honorable nation will not seek to
annex that which can not legitlmateiy
be considered as boot of war, accord
ing to the conditions under which the
peace was concluded Senior Sagasta
believes that cessation of host.lities
having been proclaimed, the taking OIL
Manila does not affect the Philippine
problem.

Madrid, August 20.-The government
has resolved to insist that the capitu'
lation of Manila after the signing OF

peace negotiations unfavorable to
Spain. In any event the government
holds that the capltulation, having
been signed by the commander of the
town does not entail the surrender of
the whole Philippines.

many incurable diseases. No person with
a vigorous healthy stomach will fall a
victim to consumption. Many kidney dis
eases and heart troubles date their be-
ginning from poor digestion; thin, nerv-
Gus people are really so because their
stomachs are out Of gear; weary, languid,
faded out women owe their condition II
imperfect digestion.

afflicted with weak digestion 1t is not sur
prisng that nearly every secret patent
medicine on the market claims to be a
cure for dyspepsia, as well as score OF
other troubles, when In fact, as DR.. Wer.

pepsla cure which is perfectly safe and re,

ORUNkARDS ARRESTED m SWANTON

Too Drunk O Tell Their Names

Swanton, VT, Dec. lS-Three young men
from st. Adams were arrested and lodged
in the police station here this noon. They
were driving in a single team from Can
ada, where they had evidently been for a
time, as they were pretty well intoxca-
ted and had liquor with them. They had
been abusing people along the road and
finally stole a dog from Mrs Clark, who
lives in Highgate, near the Canada line.
She called to them to let her dog alone
but they only called her names and went
along with the dog. She sent word by Mr..
Sheltus, who soon drove by and passed
them at Pages store, near Highgate
Springs. Sheitus notified the officers here
who hitched up team and Constable
Beebe and Deputy Sheriff James met them
on Spring street They attempted to
evade,the officers but were finally all cap
tured and lodged in the cooler. They are
too drunk to-day to tell their names but
will probably be able to do so tomorrow
morning before Judge Brooks in Police
Court. The dog was lodged in the cooler
by Officer James but was finally released
on bail and returned to his weeping mis-
tress.
