secret session; that the arguments ad-
vanced by him cannot be replied to with
out violating confidence that has been
reposed in the committee, and revealing
things which is not permissible to
state in public. On the other hand. it
is asserted that Senator Foraker's posi-
ton is so well backed up by internation-
al law that it is unanswerable and that
the opponents of the recognition of the
existing Cuban Republic are unable to
answer it, 8r present any facts that
will successfully attack it.
Responsibilities of intervention.
The question of the responsibility of
the United States in the event of inter-
vention without recognition is one that
has not been answered to the satisfac-
ton of all parties in the Senate. In his
speech Wednesday Senator Foraker
showed that the United States would GER
tainly be responsible to the Spanish bond
holders for the interest on the securities
based upon the Cuban revenues. but this
statment is denied by several Senators
who have given the subject careful con-
sideration Messrs. Srooner and Gray.
two of the best lawyers in the Senate.
have Investigated the subject with the
most painstaking care, and the brief that
was prepared by them was gone over
and revised by Mr.. Hoar. That brief
shows that in the event the United States
intervenes without recognizing the ex-
listing government and after restoring or
der establishes an independent. stable
form of government. the United States
will not be responsible for the Spanish
debt.
Acting upon the facts set forth in this
brief and in the knowledge of the rep
reservations OF the powers. especially the
representations of Sir Julian Paunce-
fote. the President determined that
there should be no recognition of the in
dependence of the Cuban republic. but
that the United States should intervene
to stop the war, to restore order and ul-
timately to establish upon the island an
independent government satisfactory to
the people of the island and 10 the United
States.

made party question.
a Threatened Veto.
The President it is claimed, has In
formed certain leaders of the House
and Senate that if Congress passes res
olution recognizing the independence of
the existing Cuban Republic he will veto
1t But this is doubted by many well in
formed men. The reasons that cause the
President to take this advanced ground
form quite an interesting chapter in
connection with the whole Cuban situa-
ton. 1t is given out on authority which
cannot well be doubted that the attitude
of the President on this particular ques-
ton is due to representations that have
been made to him by the representatives
at the Capital of the leading European
nations. Particularly is this true OF the
British ambassador
II has long been known that Great
britain was inclined to extend TO the
United States the utmost measure of
moral support in her contest with Spain
on the Cuban question, but 1t now ap-
pears that Great Britain has been and is
still averse to the recognition of the in
dependence of the insurgent govern
ment.
The President has been notified that
such Of the European powers as have
colonies on the South American conti-
nent or possess islands in the Caribbean
Sea or adjacent to this continent cannot
look with equanimity upon the mere
recognition Of the existing Republic or
Cuba. The representatives of all these
powers it is said. have notified the Presi-
dent that they cannot be responsible Tor
the attitudes of their governments in the
event that such recognition is extended.
The communication between the United
States and Sir Julian Pauncefote, repre-
senting Great Britain although of an
informal character has been quite extern
sive. None of the representations of the
British government have been reduced
to writing, but Sir Julian in this informal
manner has warned the President of the
serious consequences of the error into
which the United States will fail if it
does recognize the independence of the
Gomez government
Afraid OF IL Precedent.
So far as Great Britain, France, and
Germany are concerned, it is said to be
a question of the preservation of the
colonies which they now hold on the
South American continent and the islands
belonging to them in the West India
group The President has been notified
that the recognition Of the present gov
ernment in Cuba, which it is claimed Is
not firmly intrenched in power and eXer-
cises very little control in the island, will
form precedent which may be invoked
in the future against the sovereignty Of
the European governments now holding
possession of those islands.

"Dr. JekyIl and Mr. hyde 6iNcn 'ft
the Grand.
Despite a night that seemed more fit
for ducks than human beings there was
the largest kind of an audience present
at the Grand yesterday evening, on the
occasion of Thomas e. Shea's presenta-
ton of "Dr Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" Only
week has passed since last the play was
seen here, but Mr.. Shea has given such
ample proof of his ability to do justice
to the dual role that the single presen-
tation could not have been other than
well attended. Public opinion some years
ago set Richard Mansfield on a pedestal
as the only capable interpreter of Rob-
ert Louis Stevenson's greatest creations
and public opinion finds II difficult to
force that actor to abdicate In favor of
those who have shown their ability to
do the role better. The environments
in which Mr.. Mansfield has given the
piece. too, initiates in its favor and, al
together it is small wonder that he is
generally considered the criterion by
which other Characterization are judg-
ed. 1t Is only fair, however, in the pres
ent case, TO say. that from a critical
standpoint Mr.. Shea's ''Dr. Jekyll and
of other players and, IL not better than
that originally given by Mr.. Mansfield,
| immeasureably superior to the portray
ais that artist has presented within the
last few years. Mr.. Shea gives what
| must be considered an ideal reading.
His lines are spoken with studious and
scholarly care and, while the sharpness
Of the contrast is, in no way, Iessened, he
succeeds in building a foundation from
which his acting may be judged purely
as the consistent and capable work of
a conscientious and clever man. Never
during the course Of the play does he
rely upon mechanical aids for his effects
and each of his three changes are made
in the fun light of the stage. If Mr..
Mansields Hyde is artistic from its
suggestion Mr.. Shea's Is equally so far
its realities. His portrayal is without
doubt the best given here In many years

it is said Sir Julian Pauncefote asserted
that the mere recognition of the Cuban
republic might lead in the future to out
breaks in the colonial possessions of
Great Britain itself through the hope
among the people of those possessions
that their recognition by the United
States would make them free and inde-
pendent. This policy. which offered a
prize on petty rebellons and enabled q
small click of men gathered in mountain
! Businesses to secure the recognition of
great power like the United States,
could not be recognized by Great Britain
. because it operated to the weakening OF
, every British possession in the Western
Hemisphere.
Pauncefote's Influence.
1t is said that Sir Julian plainly inti-
mated to Mr.. Mckinley that the British
government, having the most friendly
feeling toward the United States would
not question any of the motives that ac-
tuated it in interfering in Cuba so long
as 1t did not recognize the existing re-
public. Whether that interference was
due to the damage done TO the trade and
it was done for humanitarian reasons
mattered little to Great Britain. Great
Britain recognized that Cuba, under the
rule of Spain, had always been sore on
the body polite Of the Western Hemis-
phere. and ii admitted the right of the
United States as the nation most inter-
ested to apply the knife and remove the
political cancer, but in so doing Great
Britain admonished the United States
that it must do so in manner that
would not menace English possessions or
render less secure the territory which she
now had and which for years had been
undisputed. Similar representations came
from other governments having insular
possessions in the Carribean Sea. and it
was for this reason, it is alleged that Mr..
Mckinley in his message to Congress re-
fused to recommend the recognition of the
independence of the existing alleged re-
publican form Of government.
iir. FornEer's Position.
There has been great deal OF criti-
cism aimed at Senator Foraker by the
Administration Republicans on account
of his strong speech in the Senate
Wednesday fayoring the recognition of
the Republic of Cuba. This criticism
is the stronger because it is asserted
that Mr.. Foraker knew the reasons why
the President was opposed TO the recog-
milton Of the independence of the Repub-
lie 1t is claimed thar the whole sub
iect was canvassed in committee and
that the committee knew the represen-
tations that had been mace TO the Pres
ident by the powers and that if the
United States was to be permitted to
deal with the Cuban question on its own
ground unmolested by the powers it must
do so ON the lines suggested by the Pres
ident. 1t Is claimed that Senator Fora
ker in making his speech submitted an
argument that cannot be answered by

HEALTH CATECHISM.
To BE Committed to Memory by All
Dyspeptics, Invalids, COnsump-
1iIes

What is the first cause Of nine-tenths
Of all disease?
Imperfect digestion of food.
Why does imperfect digestion cause
disease of other organs?
Because blood. nerves. muscles. bone
and flesh are derived from the food we
eat and digest. II digestion is perfect the
blood is pure. nerves and muscles strong,
flesh firm. If the digestion is poor, the
blood is supplied from half-digested, fer
menting food, irritating every nerve and
organ. The result is. sooner or later, or
ganic disease, because every organ be-
ing poorly nourished the weakest gives
way first and we have liver trouble. kid
ney complaints, heart disease or con-
sumption.
is not dieting the usual and best treat
ment to cure indigestion?
No, because the dyspepdc has been
starved long enough; what Is needed is
abundant nourishment, not the lack of it
The stomach and blood demand nutri-
ment, not bran crackers.
What Is the best method OF cure?
Plenty Of wholesome food well di-
gested.
But how can "A weak stomach digest
plenty of wholesome food?
BY taking with the rood after each
meal certain harmless remedies which
are known TO digest food and thus nour.
ish the blood and rest the weak stomach
What are these harmless remedies?
The most valuable are vegetable fer
ments. pure pepsin Golden Seal and
fruit salts. All Of these are now combin.
ed IN the form Of pleasant tasting tab,
lets sold by druggists under the name oi
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Are these tablets superior to the va.
IioUs liquid preparations so-called dys-
pepsia cures?
Most decidedly, because all liquid med
icines become stale with age and lose
whatever good qualities they may have
had originally, while the tablet retains
its properties indefinitely. Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets can be carried in the
pocket, always at hand ready for use
when travelling or at daily occupa ton
They cost but 50 cts. and should be kept
IN every family. They keep the diges-
ton perfect and save Doctors bills by
warding off disease.
Are Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets adapt
ed TO all forms Of Dyspepsia?
Yes. because IN all cases the trouble re-
suits from indigested, fermenting food
