II think dyspepsia is one of the most
stubborn of ailments, and there is scarcely
clerk or office man but what is more or

mine recommended DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, but did not think much of
them.
II finally was induced to try the pills and
commenced using them. After taking few

I used them until the old trouble stopped.

Seriousness Modified.

The information contained in tho
above statement was received carly in
the evening, but IL was not announced
oriclally until several hours later. As
result of its receipt, however, n con-
ference OF prominent officials was held
al the White House Immediately.
One of the officials who attended the
conference said, after the news had
oeen officially announced, that il very
materially modified the seriousness If
the situation. The destruction of the
meet, which was not confirmed until a
few minutes before the news was given
TO the public, removes by far the most
serions obstacle to the occupation of
santiago by the American land forces.

try soon after the Maine was sent tn
Havana, and was in New York barbor
when the news of the destruction of
the American battleship was taken to
her commander. She was of : 900 tons
displacement, $40 feet long, heavily
armored, her belt armor being twelve
inches IN thickness and her deck armor
three inches. Her armament consisted
OF two ll-inch, ten 5.5-inch Hontoria
guns, eight 1.4-inch rapid-fra guns,
and two mitralleusc. She had two
masts with military tops, two turrets,
TWO smokeStacks and a ram bow. She
carried six torpedo tubes, was capablc
OF speed of twenty knots, and her
complement was 500 men.
The Almirante Oquendo was in almost
every respect duplicate of the Vizcaya.
The Cristobol Colon had displacement
OF 6,S4O tons, and was 32S feet long.
She had six-inch armor both at the
water line and at the gun positions.
and 1.5-inch armor on her deck. Her
armament consisted of two 1O-inch
rapid-fire guns, six 4.7-inch, ten 2.2-inch
and ten 1.4-inch guns, two mitralleuse
and four torpedo tubes. She was capa-
ple OF speed OF twenty knots and car
ried complement of $50 men.
OF the remaining vessels of the fleet,
the Furor and Terror were torpedo
boat destroyers and the Reina Mer-
cedes was an old vessel that was sunk
a short time ago by shell from Samp
sons fleet The Terror was not with
the fleet at Santiago, but is supposed
to be at San Juan, Porto Rico, under
going repairs made necessary by an en-
counter with the st. Paul few DAYS
ago.
In addition to the above mentioned
vessels, there were two torpedo boats
and collier in the Spanish fleet origi-
nally. Whether the collier was at
Santiago or not is not known.
