REGARDED AS
 4 WARSHIP Alicante Cannot Now Be
 Protected. GENEVA FLAG IS BARRED
LOST RIGHTS BY SUPPLYING
 COAL TO TERROR.
Now It Would Appear That the Tor pedo Boat Destroyer Canaot Long Escape Capture or
 Destruction.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, May 27.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: The Spanish hospital ship, the Alicante, will no longer be protected by the Congress of Geneva flag. This has practically been definitely decided by the authorl- ties. The decision is the result of the action of the Alicante's commander ln supplying the torpedo-boat destroyer Terror with coal before the departure of that vessel from Fort de France, Martinique. It is said in official CIT cles that in taking such action the Ali cante has violated her neutrality. ana that in future she will be looked upon as a ship of the Spanish navy.
 Notwithstanding the activity or the American ConSulS and scouts cruising in the Caribbean Sea the latest report re- ceived in regard to the vessel came from the Consul at St. Pierre, who cabled that the Terror was heading west when seen last. The authorities have no idea she will be able to escape the American vessels cruising among Windward Islands, but now that she has apparently been lost sight or, they are wondering where she has gone.
 It is to be presumed that her com manding officer, in speeding west, slIn- plv followed this course so as to de- ceive the American Consul watching him from the island, and s soon as he got out of sight of land he changed his course.
 Among naval officers the opinion seems to be that the Terror went 10 San Juan de Porto Rico, where she is now safely ensconced.
 With Commodore Schley's squadron before Santiago de Cuba, it would De Impossible for her to enter that har- bor, and it Is not believed that she would dare to attempt it, especially as her supply of coal would not last longer than to carry her from Martinique to Santiago de Cuba

COIN IS ALREADY SHIPPED
PAYMASTERS TO GO WITH THE
 VOLUNTEERS.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, May 27.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: The War Department has been negotiating with the Pacific Mail and Oriental Steamship Companies relative to the transportation of money for our troops from San Francisco to Manila via Hongkong and these companies have offered to transmit it at 1A per cent, giving ample assurances of indemnity from loss.
 While it is probable that this method would be economical in comparison with the expense entailed by sending money by paymasters the latter meth cd is favored by the department and will in all probability be adopted, the officers being sufficiently guarded. Pay masters accompanied the first troops for Manila, and the money then dis patched is believed to be sufficient to cover a period of three months. The Government favorS transmission by paymasters because 1t will enable this country to keep in confidential con- munication with Manila.
 The Bank of California has offered to serve the Government as financial agent at Manila, but as that city is not in our possession nothing can be done in the matter at this time. It is stated that as soon as possible a re- sponsible financial agency will be es- tablished at Manila, but until abso- lutely safe all money will remain on board ship.
 Paymaster General Stanton said to- day that all payments would be made In gold, with silver as subsidiary coin, and soldiers can secure postal money orders and checks when they desire to send money home. Payments will be made by paymasters in person to every man in the army and General Stanton has urged the President to appoint d sufficient force to enable him to pay soldiers at the end of every month.

ANNEXATION
 AS 4 RIDER Amendments Made to the War Revenue Bill. MAY TIE UP THE MEASURE SENATOR LODGE DECLARES HA- WAII IS NEEDED. It Is Asserted That the Islands Are Required as a Base of Military
 and Naval Opera
 tions.
MAY TIE UP THE MEASURE
SENATOR LODGE DECLARES IA
 WAII IS NEEDED.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Office, Riggs House,

Washington, May 27.
 The Hawaiian annexation question, which has been the subject of no little concern about the Senate for the past few days, assumed definite shape to- day when Senators Lodge and Morgan offered amendments to the war revenue bill bearing directly upon the subject. Senator Lodges amendment Is in the words of the Newlands resolution. and provides, in direct terms, for the an- nexation of the islands.
 Senator Lodge was seen immediately after he had sent his amendment to the desk, and announced it to be his pur- pose to press it to the end.
 "Henceforth." said he, 'the two measures must travel together. Both are equally important, and under the circumstances it would be foolhardy to forego our advantages in Hawaii
 Senator Lodges action in presenting the amendment was the result of more or less conference, though it was of an informal character, among the stanch- est advocates of annexation. They eX- press the opinion that the amendment in the end will be accepted, but admit that, in all probability, 1t will result in delaying the passage of the revenue bill. Incorporation of Hawaiian an- nexation in the revenue bill would, of course, have the effect of forcing the matter upon the attention of the House. Advocates of annexation say all but four Republican Senators and many Democrats, Populists and Silver Repub- licans will vote for Lodges amend ment.
 The assertion is made by Senators in favor of annexation that the adminis- tration is more anxious than at any previous time for legislation providing for annexation. The condition of af- fairs in the Philippines and the neces- sity for a stopping place for our ships on their way to those islands, they say, is the reason for the present urgency. It is asserted that to hold the Philip pines without the possession of Hawaii would be next to impossible.
 Senator Jones of Arkansas, Demo- cratic member of the Finance Com mittee, expressed the opinion that the Lodge amendment would not be ac- "It would" he said, certainly delay the bill indefinitely if pressed"

NO SCHOOL CONTRIBUTIONS.
Cold Water Thrown on Various Pa
triOtic Movements.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct 4-State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction Charles r.
Skinner disapproves of the various move
ments started to raise money in the public
schools for patriotic purposes. To-day he
issued the following statement:
THE following movements affecting the
public schools have come TO the attention
of the state department of public instruc-
ton: First, the building of a ship by
contributions from the schooboyS of the
United States TO take the place of the Maine
and to be called the American Boy sec
ond a similar movement on the part of the
school girls of the country, the war ship
to be known as the American Girl third,
the proposition of Lafayette memorial COM
mission for the erection of Lafayette mon
ument in Paris by the youth OF the United
States, fourth national peace jubilee in
the schools of the State as recommended
by an association organized in Chicago for
this purpose"
Superintendent Skinner says in reference
to these movements: The United states
government is able and willing and ready to
build all war ships necessary for the de-
Tense of the country. While 1t is fitting that
the people of the United States honor the
memory of Lafayette, the proposition to
ask contributions of the school children for
this purpose is not approved. In nearly all
other cities regulations forbid the taking of
contributions in the schools for any pur-
poses. Furthermore, it is against the spirit
of the school laws of the State to charge an
admission to any entertainment given in a
School building. The proposition concerning
the national peace jubilee seems premature
While the United States government is con-
stantly sending war ships and troops to
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, and
while Spanish leaders are saying that there
is yet no peace, only a cessation of HOSTILE
ties, 1t does not seem appropriate that the
school children Of the country should be
called together for public exercises to cele-
brate an educational peace jubilee day Let
us wait until peace is officially declared and
then we can celebrate the declaration in the
right spirit"

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA

Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience OF an Indians
aDOlis Gentleman.

NO trouble is more common or more mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia. People
having it think that their nerves are to
blame, are surprised that they are not cured
by nerve medicines and spring remedies:
the real seat of mischief is lost sight Of:
the stomach is the origin to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any
pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps
any of the usual symptoms of stomach
weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself
not in the stomach so much as in nearly
every other organ; in some cases the heart
palpitates and is irregular: in others, the
kidneys are affected in others the bowels
are constipated with headaches; still others
are troubled with loss of flesh and appetite.
with the accumulation of gas, sour risings
and heartburn
