TAKING UP THEIR ARMS |
THE NATION RALLYING AT
THE PRESIDENTS CALL
Responses Received by
Secretary Alger From the Ex-
ecutives Of the States - The
Army Bill Conference Report
Adopted by Both the House and
Senate-New Bill offered by Hull.

By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. April 26.-During
the session of the senate today the con-
ference report on the army reorganiza-
ton bill was agreed to and the meas
ure engrossed and signed.
In the house the senate amendments
to the naval appropriation bill were
non-concurred in and conference re-
quested. The speaker appointed
Messrs. Boutelle, Hilborn and Cum
mingS conferees.
The conferees of the two houses on
the army reorganization bill agreed to
the senate amendment requiring that
the quotas of militia Of the various
states and territories shall be in COM
panieS, troops and batteries, in order
to be accepted by the president, and
also that senate amendment increasing
the signal corps to the extent Of ten
corporals and 14O privates.
The conference refused to accept the
amendment authorizing the active en-
ployment of retired army officers in
time Of war, and it was eliminated from
the bill.
Chairman Hull of the house commit
tee on military affairs, was in confer
ence with the war department authori-
ties during the afternoon, and later
framed bill, which he introduced in
the house, providing for suspension I'M
til the cessation of hostilities Of impor-
tant provisions of the law applicable
to the quartermaster's department, sus-
pension or modification of the prohib-
tory and limiting, provisions cited be-
ing essential under existing exigencies.
The bill allows supplies to be purchas-
ed in open market, instead Of through
advance advertisements for contracts,
removes the limit of $1,000, 900 annually
for the pay Of civilian employees in the
quartermaSters department and also
the limit Of 5000 draft animals; allows
open purchase Of horses, etc. An I'M
Outstanding has been reached for con-
sideration by the committee tomorrow.
The responses of the governors Of the
states and territories to the telegram
from the secretary of war notifying
them of the number of men they will
be expected to furnish under the presi-
dents proclamation and asking them
when such troops will be ready for
muster into the United States service
has been prompt and gratifying
The greater portion Of the executives
have replied to Secretary Algers dis
patches, the answers generally have
been very satisfactory indicating the
time within which the state troops will
be ready for muster. Hardly had the
last telegram to the governors been
sent last night before a dispatch came
from Gov. Hastings, of Pennsylvania,
which said the men called for were
ready and equipped for duty Mr..
Hastings was the first state executive
to respond, and those from the others
came in quick succession during the
night and this morning

PRIZE IN PORT
Continued from First Page.

tenant Commander Everett scented a
prize, and started fer the stranger.
When the latter came within range. a
shot from the Mangrove'S twelve
FOUNDER was sent across her bows, but
the Spaniard ignored the challenge and
went on. Another shot was fired with
out result.
When the third shot was fired the
Mangrove was within 100 yards of the
Panama and Lieutenant Commander
Everett shouted to the deck officer that
If she did not surrender he would sink
her. The Mangroves officers admit
that they expected the enemy's twelve
FOUNDER to open on them in response
to the threat but the Spaniard prompt
ly came to-.
Ensign Dayton, the senior officer on
the Mangrove. boarded the prize.
The battleship Indiana had seen the
capture and meanwhile drew up to the
Mangrove. Lieutenant Commander
Everett reported to Capt Taylor, OF
the baDtleship, and the latter put a
prize crew on board the captive, con-
sisting of Cadet Falconer and fifteen
marines. They then proceeded to the
flagship, where a formal report was
made, and Rear Admiral Sampson or
dered Lieutenant Commander Everett
to convoy the prize to Key West.
The Panama is of about $500 tons
burden, and her passengers were main
ly Spanish refugees fleeing from New
York and other points in the United
States to Havana. Capt. Quevedo was
grief-stricken and greatly Inundated
because Of the capture. The passen-
gers declare they knew. nothing Of the
blockade, and that when they saw the
searchlight Of the Mangrove they
thought it was the light of a Spanish
1nan-of-war. The first shot changed
their joy to apprehension, the second
and third created a panic. The women
ran screaming for shelter from the
enemy's guns and the captain locked
himself sullenly in his cabin.
The Panama carries valuable cargo
Of general merchandise. including a
large quantity of corn. Much of it was
meant to provision the Spaniards in
Cuba, and the cargo, with the ship
itself, undoubtedly makes the richest
prize thus far taken. Under the regu-
iations however, the battleship Indiana
will share in the prize money, as she
was in sight when the capture was
made.
This makes five steamers thus far
captured, in addition to a number Of
schooners and small craft. The entire
fleet have been on the lookout for the
Panama for several days, as she was
due at Havana yesterday or today.

INTERESTING EXPERIENCE
Of an Iowa Lady Who Was Cured of Dys-
pepsia After Suffering for TWenty-F. Ue
Years.

Of ON Iowa Lady Who Was Cured of Dys-
pepsia After Suffering for Twenty-F. Ue
Years.
Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels, an estimable
lady residing at Lynnville, Jasper Co.,
Iowa, was for twenty five years a. suf-
ferer from Dyspepsia, and her com
plete restoration to health is so remark
able that we present the facts in the
case for the benefit of our readers,
many Of whom have doubtless suffered
in the same nEnner and will, therefore,
be interested in learning how all stom-
ach troubles may be avoided and cured
Mrs. Skeels says: [ used only one
package Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and I received such great and uneX-
pected benefit that I wish to express
my sincere gratitude. In fact it has
been six months since I took the medI-
cine and I have not had one particle Of
distress or difficulty since. And all this
in the face of the fact that the best
doctors I consulted told me my case
was incurable as I had suffered for
twenty-five years. 1 want half dozen
packages to distribute among my
friends here who are very anxious to
try this remedy.
Truly yours,
Mrs. Sarah A. Skeels
The reason why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are so successful in curing in
digestion and stomach trouble and the
reason why it never disappoints those
who need it and use it is because moth
ing is claimed for it except what it will
actually perform. It is not cure-all
and no such claims are made for it.
1t is prepared for the sole purpose of
curing Dyspepsia and the various forms
of Indigestion.
There is scarcely a patent medicine
made but what is claimed to cure dys-
pepsia as well as a hundred other
troubles. When as a matter of fact a
remedy to cure Dyspepsia must be pre-
pared especially for that and nothing
else; and among all the remedies, pat
ent nostrums, bitters, ETC., so extern
sively advertised you will find that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
one advertised as a cure for dyspepsia
and nothing else. The remedy is pre-
pared by the Stuart Co., of Marshall,
Mich, and for sale by all druggists
at so cents per package. and if you
suffer from any form Of stomach de-
rangement or Indigestion a trial will
not disappoint you.

Eachsday's suspense adds to the enthusiasm
and Increases the .feyerishs expectancy of the
militia boys in Minneapoliso0Y Having begun
weeks aIagD toS puts themselves in readiness
for marching orders, they have been wrought
to a high pitch of excitement by the repeat
ed delays in final orders.
At an early hour yesterday morning the
men who have volunteered their services to
Minnesota's quota began to assemble at the
armory. The recruits were formed into
squads. and were out on the street IN good
season. They drilled in the marching
maneuvers and manual Of arms the greater
part Of the day. Nearly all of the members
of the militia are wearing their uniforms
regular attire, in order to be in readiness
when the call to 'fall in" Is received. In
fact, the arrangements for being able to fall
in at the word have been carried so far that
bicycle riders will be dispatched to those who
reside farthest from the armory. No prep
arations have been overlooked and the boys
do not intend to be caught mapping.
