NEW YORK. May 19.-The Tribune to-
day says:
1.-THE arrival of Chief Hazen of the
United States Secret Service, and Chief
McManus of the Philadelphia division of
the Secret Service at the Waldorf AS
toria last evening quickly gave rise to the
rumor among the guests who were aware
of the visit that they were on the trail Of
Spanish spies. They examined the hotel
register. talked with the officials of the
house and then started on tour of obser-
vation.
"About midnight Chief Hazen walked up
to M. Gallia, one of the guests Of the
hotel who recently returned from a trip
Of the country, made, as he said, for the
purpose of furthering the establishment Of
United States permanent exhibition in
Paris and London. tapped him on the
shoulder and said:
"' Mr.. Gallia, we would like to inter-
view you.'
IN. Gallia objected to the Chiefs manner
until he found he was in the presence of
agents of this government What was
said cannot be learned. One of the agents,
however, said later that the real name of
M. Gallia was Galliam Morris and that he
was an Austrian by birth. He possessed
letters, however, from number Of French
journals which gave him permission to
solicit advertising for them and recon-
mendations to a number of leading dry
goods men in this city. The officers ac-
cepted his explanation and permitted him
to remain at the hotel.''

along the coast. Soon after the engage
ment the United States cruiser Marble
head picked up several Cubans in an open
boat, some miles down the coast, includ-
Ing Colonel Ortize. Lieutenant Olivares
and three privates from an insurgent
camp near Cienfuegos. They reported that
the Spanish losses and the damage
wrought by the shells from the warships
were very heavy. The hospitals at Glen
fuegos, they said, were full of wounded
apd fear prevailed everywhere that the
American warships would return to COM
plete the work of destruction.
During the engagement the Marblehead
threw $50 1ve-inch shells into the Spanish
forces and 700 shots from her secondary
battery. The Nashville threw as many
more shells and 1900 shots from her secon-
dary battery.
Fifteen hundred Spaniards were sta
toned in an improvised fortress on neck
of land, and upon this the ships concen-
trated their fire. and 1t was here the most
terrible destruction was wrought. During
the heavy fire of shells and just after the
lighthouse was blown UP, five Spaniards
who were running together in an attempt
to escape. were picked of by shell from
the Marblehead, the gunner being ordered
to fire upon them by Ensign Pratt. They
were torn to pieces.

Thoroughly and Entirely on the Side

CHICAGO, May 1s.-"Japan would never
take sides with any other nation against
America"
H. UicAi, chief of the department Of en-
gineering and harbor improvement Of the
imperial Japanese government, gave this
as his opinion this morning.
Mr.. Uicki arrived in this city this morn

ing the latest improvements in the harbors

America.

been and always will be-the most

When interrogated as to the feeling Of
his country regarding the seizure and pos

by the United States, he said he was sure
that Japan had no desire to dispute our
claims to them.

TO SEIZE HAWAII
As q Base Of Operations in the
Orient

VIl6uL
CHICAGO. May ia special to the
Journal from Washington says:
1t is probable that American troops will
soon be occupying Hawaii.
President Mckinley agrees with all call
ers that the temporary occupation of the
Philippines Is out Of the question. Whether
we desire it or not, we will be compelled
to retain the islands for a long time, if
not permanently. More troops than now
decided on will have to be sent to Manila
in the course Of several months.
This contingency has appealed to the
administration with such force that the
advisibility of making Hawaii base for
both army and navy operations has been
discussed. 1t is not known at what time
the American Commander in the Philip
pines might need additional men. The
distance between San Francisco and Ma
nila might endanger American prestige
and many lives
To Offset this possibility 1t is proposed to
send probably ten thousand volunteers to
Hawaii, there to be held in reserve. They
could be trained there and from that point
could be sent to Manila twenty days earlier
than they could II kept in the United
States.

C0UNTERFEITERS.
Are Circulating Their Spurious
 Money in Louisiana.

MANSFIELD, LA, Jan. 2O.-A band of counterfeiters caused our ubsus. pecting people to deprecate their advent in our town yesterday by treating their unwarine8s to a shock upon discovering that spurious ten dollar silver certificates to the amount of about fifty dollars had been passed in our business houses. All of the counterfeit currency dis covered in circulation here were of the same denomination, and upon close examination proved to be fair specimens of the nefarious artisans work.
 Upon discovering that several had been victimized the officers made a rigid but futile search, in the vi- cinity of town for the criminals who were attired as tramps, in hopes of identifying and apprehending them.

.oArAsRH OF THE STOMACH,
A Pheasant Simple, but Safe Enectual
 Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to in- curable.
 The usual symptoms are 0 full or bloating sensation after eating, ae- eompanIed sometimes with sour or watery-risings. a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing; head ache, tickle appetite, nervousness and 8 general played out, languid feeling.
 There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue, and if the in- terior of the stomach could beseen it would show slimy, inflamed condi- tion.
 The cure for this common and ob- stinate trouble is found ill a treat ment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has 0 time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach.
 To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do, and when normal digestion Is secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared.
 According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptie Pepsin, q little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids.
 These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being @ patent medicine, can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals.
 MT. N. J, Booher of 27l0 Dearborn St., Chicago, H., writes: "Gatarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose be- comes inflamed and the poisonous discharge therefrOm, passing back ward into the throat, reaches the stomach. thus producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of stomach without cure, but today l am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets. IeannOt find appro- priate words to express my good feeling.
 "I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient reme- dy for any form of indigestion, ca tarrh of stomach, biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals.
 Send for little book, mailed free, on stomach troubles, by addressing Stuart Co.,, Marshall, Mich. The tablets can be found at all drug stores. d19-21-23- -26-2 -2S-30 w22-29

Ties of All Kinds.

Thero is hardly anything that may not bo worn now for ties for women. There are black satin ties, ono thickness of the satin about four inches wide and hemmed all around with Q narrow hem 1; ties of the same style in plaids or al most any plain color, all to be worn passing either once or twice around the neck and then tying with an ordinary bow and ends in front. There arc the stocks of all kinds and descriptions, with tho four-in- hand tie front or the immensely long and wide ties which re- ceive the anathemas of tho men as they arc worn by women, with uncovered ends; there arc ribbons of all descrip- tions-plaids, plain red, plain green, any color-passing twice around the collar and tied in a bow or like four in-hand; there are the null lace ties of all descriptions, and there are the rid ing ties of flannel. These last arc very pretty, and because they arc called rid ing ties it does not follow that they may not bo worn for any kind of street wear The bright scarlet is the most stylish, but tho lighter eolors of those soft fan nel shades of blue and pink arc very be- coming. Red takes the lead ill all kinds of neckwear, and it is hard pressed by green. Nov York Times
