MORE MAINE EVIDENCE.
Opinion of British Expert After
Thorough Examination.

New York, May "a special to the
Herald from Toronto. Ont. says:
Almost Immediately after the Maine
disaster Captain Kent, torpedo expert
for the British Halifax squadron, was
hurriedly sent to Washington, d. c.,
whence he proceeded to Key West, Fla.
His departure caused considerable
comment at the time, and the govern
ment was asked a question relative to
the trip, but simply answered that it
was purely a departmental affair.
Captain Kent has now returned to
Halifax, and from some remarks he
has made it is evident that, whatever
other business he had in hand, he was
making inquiries about the Maine dis
aSter.
He expresses the opinion that the
vessel was blown up by external
means and that it was probably
mine put in position not long before the
explosion took place. He saw Captain
Sigsbee and went carefully over all the
evidence taken during the inquiry, and
this. with his own accurate knowledge
of explosives, their effect when eX-
ploded in certain conditions and the
certainty that in such a case as that
of the Maine disaster all traces of how
the mine or torpedo was laid would
disappear, made it plain to him that
external agency had been applied
Such a thing, he asserts, could not
ba done without the knowledge and
against the will of the Spanish officers.
so that his opinion means no refiec-
ton whatever upon the captain gen.
eral of Cuba. He has made a most
elaborate report to the British ad-
miralty, and it is said that the docu-
ment contains important information
on the naval force of the United States
in Cuban waters.

A TRAVELLING MAN
Gives Some Valuable Hints Regard
ing the Care of the Health While
Travelling.

Mr.. R. w. Wincherdon, a commercial
traveller from Birmingham, whose busI-
ness keeps him almost constantly on
the road. relates in the Sunday News
the dangers to health resulting from
constant change of residence and the
way he overcame the usual injurious
effects.
He says: One thing people travelling
cannot very well avoid is the constant
change in water and food; the stom-
ach never has an opportunity to be-
come accustomed to anything and in
a few years or much sooner the aver
age travelling man becomes a hopeless
dySpeDtic.
For several years I suffered more or
less from indigestion, sour stomach,
headaches, distaste for food, often no
appetite, gas on the stomach and the
usual unpleasant effects of imperfect
digestion.
Nearly every travelling man has his
favorite remedy for different troubles
and I tried all of them with Indifferent
results. Finally. on the train between
Pittsburg and Philadelphia one day, Il
overheard a conversation between two
ladies, one of whom mad suffered Sc
verely from indigestion and stated she
had been completely cured by a rem
edy which she called Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets; l remembered the CONVEX
because II QlTSclly lulSTGSle0
me; and at the next town l inquired
at the first drug store and bought a
package for so cents, and from that
day to this l have never been without
them They are pleasant tasting tab
lets, not a secret patent medicine, but
composed of vegetable essences, pure
pepsin. fruit salts and Golden Seal;
being in tablet form they never lose
their good qualities like liquid medi-
cine would. but are always fresh and
ready for use.
L carry a box in my pocket continu-
ally. and whenever see any symptoms
of indigestion l take one, also one after
each meal, and for a year and half
/ have not lost a day by reason of poor
health and can eat anything and relish
what L eat; my digestion is absolutely
perfect as far as 1 can judge from my
feelings and although there may be
other stomach medicines just as good
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. 1 do not
know what they are. Certainly for
people who travel they are far ahead
of any liquid medicine, as they are so
convenient, they can be carried in the
pocket and used whenever needed.
l believe they are sold by all druggists
at 90 cents. and believe anyone who
will try them will agree with me, that
for indigestion and stomach trouble
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are I'M
eQualed

the arrival of the mail from p. m. to
10 e. m, consequently nc mail was re-

why they cannot receive their mail by
