A Hundred Reasons

Can be given why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best and most effectual

| less with age.
They are convenient, can be carried in
| the pocket and taken when needed They
are pleasant to the taste.
After each meal dissolve one or two Of
them in the mouth, and mingling with
the food they constitute a perfect digest
i've absolutely safe for the most sensitive
stomach.
They digest the food before it has time
to ferment thus preventing the forma-
ton of gas and keeping the blood pure
and free from the poisonous products of
fermented. half digested food.
-Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the
complexion clear by keeping the blood
pure.
They Increase flesh by digestiny flesh

remedy designed especially for the cure
OF stomach troubles and nothing else.s
One disease one remedy, the successful
physician of today is the specialist, the

Interfere Win Mine..

fIew York, May 6.-The military author
tiles continue to have trouble with sea
captains who run their ships across the
fields Of mines and torpedoes in the har-
Dor on their way to and from the ocean.
This morning skipper of an American
schooner. who was cutting through the
mine fields in the lower bay, got a bad
fright when a gun at Fort Hancock, on
Sandy Hook. opened fire on him. The way
he put up his helm and scooted for the
open channel. showed he had a rough
awakening. The shot. however was a
blank one, but the officers threaten to
send something of a more solid character
unless captains obey the port rules.
Another group of submarine mines have
been rendered useless by disobedient sea-
men. 1t will take a week to put them in
shape again.

Cuban Hc.jIt.l Conditions.

DR.. W. F. Bruner. sanitary inspector
in the United States Marine Hospital
Service, has issued report regarding
the Spanish hospitals in Cuba. The re-
port says that there, are five military hos
pitfalls in Havana. The largest is called
the Alfonso XIII, and has capacity of
$3.50 beds. 1t is built pf5wood. on the pa
vilion plan, and standso on an eminence
in the outskirts of Havana The equip
ment of this hospital y. almost perfect.
1t was built by Spanish engineer who
was educated in the United States.
The Hospital Quartet, de MADEIRA, in
Jesus Maria parish has a capacity of
LOCO beds. tits poorly constructed, and
could be used only for yellow fever pa
tients.
The Beneficial Hospital. situated near
the Gulf, built of stone and having a ca
pacity of 1900 beds. was formerly a
founding hospital, and, was taken by
Weyler in 1886. 1t wOYld be unwise to
use 1t as a hospital
The San Ambrosia Hospital, near the
Taliapiedre wharf. the report says, is
without doubt the filthiest building In
Havana. 1t contains 800 beds. 1t coulc
not be used for United States troops.
There are two hospitals in Regla, but
they are under one management. Both
are old sugar warehouses. poorly equip
ped and containing 5000 beds. There are
four municipal hospitals in Havana, the
Reina Mercedes, Paula. Quinta del Rey
and Depeniente. With the exception OF
the first two =ail arr filthy. There are
thirty-six military hospitals in Cuba. the
report says. but few could be used be-
caused they are badly infected.
The total number Of deaths from yell
low fever in the hospitals. OF Havana and
Regla during 1891 was 25s3.

medical treatment the death rate would

WHEAT GOING 10 THE s1rEs.
stravinG Spain Factor in the
Startling Upward Range.

ePVaHu sAahkes
Chicago, Ill. May 6-Cash wheat sold
for $l-5o bushel on the board of trade
yesterday.
This is the highest price paid for the
cereal since the memorable deal of Au-
gust and September 1883. Twenty cents
per bushel over the closing price of We'd
nesday were realized by Joseph Letter
and his associates. Yesterday. on an ad-
vance OF ten cents, the young wheat king
unloaded 5o0.600 bushels, making profit
OF $4,000; today he unloaded 2,0OO, 600 BUSH
els more. making an additional s4Oo. 600 TO
add to his already enormous bank roll.
Nor do these figures by any means rep
resent all of Letters profits on the two
days sales. Letter bought all his wheat
under W cents, some OF II as low as 80
so that when he sold 100000 bushels to-
day he made a total profit Of 50 to 70
cents bushel. or in round figures from
H.20o,ooo to s1.4c0.0O0.
'Ihe $4,000 enumerated first was his
addiuonai velvet for selling his wheat
today instead Of yesterday. 1t was said
two weeks ago that Letters deals up to
that time had made him in the neighbor-
hood of 100000. Today and Yesterdays
prohts increase his total earnings nearly
25 per cent
The bulge today came at the end of the
session 1t is generally considered the
real and expected climax to the Nav
market. though several veteran dealers
insist that the conditions will develop n
much higher figure than $50 per bushel
before the last consignment is delivered.
Just one cause is assigned on>the board
ior the Jump-foreign demand
Inc iact that Russia and Austria have
removed the duty on wheat is also fac
tor in the rise, but there are other hn,,isb
indications. Spain is looking to tho
United States for relief from Imminent
starvation. hoping to secure a market at
Liverpool or Paris. and bread riots are
occurring daily in several parts of Eu-
rope.
Flour has already advanced % cents on
the barrel and will likely go still higher
in sympathy with wheat.

PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES
Education Has Taught Them to
Cherish Liberty.


From business man who has reside,
Tor many years in Manila The Times hal
obtained a series Of interesting views OF
the conditions and influences at work II
the FAR away Philippine Islands, nov
playing so important part in the drama
Of war. This gentleman for years ha.
been intimately connected, in a bushes.
way, with all the varied races which make
up the population of the islands, and hs
puts in an interesting light the problem.
which have confronted the Spanish rul.
| ers.
On account of his large financial inter-
ests in the islands he gave utterance to
his views only on the stipulation that his
name be not used. He was asked yester-
day what were the causes of the rebel
lions which have occurred in the Philip
pines during the last few years.
Primarily, education" he said. "In
their pristine ignorance the natives of
these islands are contented. Like all
orientals they are lazy. willing to labor
only to such extent as will feed and clothe
them. But the well-meaning efforts made
to give them learning have instilled ideas
OF freedom and self-government, and they
pursue the ideal of liberty I am not
discussing the right or wrong of the mat
ter. remember. The same problem con-
fronts England in India, where, by edu-
eating the natives, she Is laying up
trouble for herself.
Personally. my relations with the three
great tclasses-Spaniards, priests and ma
tives-have always been cordial. 1 al
ways regretted the useless strife. The
government is a military despotism, the
governor general having power even of
life and death. In the outlying districts
however. where the only Spaniard seen
is the ubiquitous cure. the church Is su-
preme. The priests. who won the Philip.
pines for Spain. hold them for her. and the
rebellions are directed against their pow
er."
= What is the Spanish strength in the
islands, he was asked.
After the present revolt broke out. in
1896. Spain began to pour troops into
Manila Every ship brought them by reg
iments, until %. 900 recruits had been mass
ed in the principal island. So far as I
know, this force still remains
Asked how the revolt had been quelled
last year, he said:
By money, pure end simple. Spain
knew the easiest way to end 1t was to buy
OF the leaders, and more than 81, 100000
was paid over. The insurgent chiefs, how
ever, had learned some things by associa-
ton with their Spanish rulers. The lead
ers promptly decamped with the immense
bribes. and the rebellion Haired up again.
Since that the news of Cuba's coming
freedom has reached the islands, and now
the cry is Liberty"
