The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1898-03-25

While in the neighborhood of Rugby,
Indiana, recently, a reporter was told that
Miss Clara Hopkins, daughter of Mr.. Dennis
Hopkins, q prominent farmer of Bartho-
lomew County, had been the subject of a
remarkable transformation. The reporter
decided to investigate and learn the par
ticulars. He was driven to Mr.. Hopkins
splendid country home, where he had an
interesting conversation with that gentleman
regarding the illness ofhis only daughter.
you have been correctly informed, said
Mr.. Hopkins, +" for Clara has indeed had q
severe siege. She tried DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and they did her more
good than all other medicines together that she
ever took. A few boxes of that medicine
accomplished the cure of q case in few
months which had baffled physicians for
years.
about three years ago her health began
to fail. The doctor who attended her said this
was caused by weak digestion. This produced
nervousness, which was accompanied by neu'
ralgic troubles, which at first was located In
the nerves about the heart. OF course this
was a dangerous location for any such trouble
and she rapidly grew worse notwithstanding
that the physician was treating her. This
continued till a year ago last November, al
which time she was almost constantly confined
to her bed.
"The neuralgia became gradually worse
and finally she was confirmed victim to it

vous. We had another physician, and he
treated her steadily for year without doing
her any good. In fact, 1t seemed that she
was continually becoming worse. He finally
gave up the case as hopeless, and advised
us to get DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People for her, as he said that they were the
only thing that would benefit her.
81 procured couple of boxes OF the pills,
and found that their use helped her con.
siderably. She kept on taking them till she
used about dozen boxes, with the result
that she was entirely well, and since then
there has been no symptoms whatever, OF her
old trouble. DIR. Williams Pink Pills are
certainly a wonderful medicine, which did q
wonderful good in Clara's case, doing what
several physicians failed to accomplish"
All the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore shatter-
ed nerves are contained, in condensed
form, in DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. They are also q specific for trou-
bles peculiar to females, such as suppress

Washington tomorrow or Friday, that

publication and transmission to con-
gress would not occur until next Mon
day or Tuesday, as the president would
require that much time to give the doc

momentous character required.
still Hold to External Cause.
Other cabinet officers stated that the
general plan included the sending of
presidential message along with the re-
port, stating that Spain had been called
upon to make suitable response to the
case presented by the court Of inquiry.
While the cabinet associates Of the
president maintained their usual re-
serve as to the exact character of their
deliberations 1t was conceded that the
discussion proceeded on the theory that
the coming report would show that the
Maine explosion was not the result OF
an accident, but was due to an external
cause. There is nc doubt that substan-
tial unanimity exists on the part of the
president and all his cabinet both as to
the Maine question and the general
subject Of Cuba.
NextStep the Important One.
The possibility of q recourse to inter-
vention in case Spain declined to make
suitable response to the representations
we will make after receiving the Maine
report has been fully discussed-al-
| though necessarily 1t has been an alb
stract discussion thus far-and no con-
tclusion has been reached, nor is it pos
sible until the vital question as to the
courts findings is before the president
he fla iY01n bar
| is q very evident intention to consider
all eventualities, including the recourse
| to intervention, the recognition of indie
pendence, and other methods which ap-
pear to suitably meet the requirements
Of such a condition. 1t Is believed to be
| the intention of the president, however,
| to bring about a very material and sat-
| isfactory condition in Cuba by what
shall seem to be the best and most prac-
| ticable method of obtaining this end.
No Overtures Made to Spain.
It is the hope of the administration
| that Spain herself will so far realize the
rituation as to see the necessity for such
radical ao:ion on her part with respect
| to Cuba as shall command the arprcbs-
| ton Of this country, and thus at once
| put an end to all differences. Pending
| a decision on the governments final
policy no overtures or limitations have
been conveyed to the Spanish govern
| ment and there is no official knowledge
| as to how Spain would regard recog-
milton Of Cuban independence or inter-
| vention. The Spanish minister, Senior
| Polo, requested yesterday that state
| ment be made that reports attributing
| to him expressions on the subject Of in
| dependence were unwarranted and un-
true. Senior Polo says he has not dis
cussed this or any other Of the peL1ing
| questions.

cred the Disasters Origin.
Key West, March 2S.-''The case Of
the Maine is most peculiar, perhaps the
most peculiar which has ever occurred
in the history Of the world" Those are
the words Admiral Sicard used to a
correspondent, and putting this and
some other expressions together the cor
respondents inference was that the
court had not found out how the war;
ship blew up, and the matter is mys-
terry yet 1t may remain so forever, and
II may be solved by less serious eX-
plosion on some other ship, as happened
in the case OF the British warshp
Doterel.
But the report is undoubtedly COM
pleted. Commander Mark left here
yesterday afternoon for Washington
carrying the document with him. He
will probably arrive at Washington to-
morrow evening.

iasi. Among his visitors were Com
mander Glover in company with Mr..
Flint, who has been acting for the gov
eminent in the negotiations fer the
purchase Of ships. The members of the
cabinet on leaving the White House
said that there was no special signifi-
canoe in the meeting. The report of the
Maine court of inquiry had not been
received, nor was it definitely known
when it would reach here. The indi-
cations still seem to be that the report
will be made public by the middle OF
the present week. Flint said after his
interviews with the president that
Chill and Argentina have 1.-The warmest

anxious, he said, to sell their ships to
this government, basing this indisposi-
ton on the belief that we have an ex-
cellent navy of our own. They want
these vessels themselves. If the time
should come, however, when it was ap-
parent that the United States needed
these vessels they would gladly part
with them to us.

led to much conjecture, it being as
serted that Lieutenant Blow brought
with him the report of the court of in
quiry, or at least the general con-
illusions reached by that court. 1t can
be stated positively, however, from an
authoritative source that the officers did
not bring with them the report eitheras

personal opinions, however, it was

Jects upon which evidence of this class
was adduced was the negro problem.
Inc position of the white population in
the west Indian colonies has within the
past 1ew years assumed so alarming an
aspect that the opportunity was taken to
iay before the commissioners the opin-
IONS or the prominent men of the white
community in each colony. Some OF the
statements made and confirmed by men
OF acknowledged standing and CREDIBLE
lty were most extraordinary.
lncipient revolt and bitter hatred Of
the whites were declared to be seething
IN the hearts of the black population.
Representative institutions and extern
sion OF the franchise had proved fail
ufe, filling the legislative and local
boards with class agitators, whose po-
lltical war cry was color and color alone.
Ine black was becoming more and more
impatient with the rule of his white
master, and the seditious spirit mani
tested caused the gravest fears to be
entertained for the future of the colo
nies.
White settlers in remote parts went
about in daily fear for their lives, and
IN one or the most important of the
islands organizations had been formed
by the white settlers, rifles and ammu-
milton imported and a regular plan of
personal defense devised in case of an
outbreak.
Sir Augustus Hemmng's remarks are.
though Veiled, in the same direction, and
doubtless this evidence influenced Sir
Henry Norman in his speculation as to
the effects of sugar industry in the West
Indian colonies
