PROGRESS WITH THE TREATY
PEACE COMMISSIONS HELD PRI-
 YATE SESSIONS YESTERDAY.

l Again Predicted That Articles win be Signed Within Week Sensational
 Reports Denied-Spain Has Not
 Reached Any Decision Regarding Philippine and Cuban Debts-Grati-
 lying Advices Received in Washing
 ton From Judge Day.
 Paris Dec 4-The United States and Spanish peace commissions held prl- vate sessions to-day. Afterward repre- sentatives of both bodies predicted con fidentially that the treaty would be signed within week unless unforeseen complications arose. The American commissioners assert that there is no foundation for the reports circulated in the United States and cabled back here, that President Mckinley has for warded to the American commissioners fresh instructions to insist unyieldingly upon a coaling base in the Carolines and that the Spaniards are endeavoring of the Philippines. Both commissions recognize that the latter question is set tied.
 Madrid, Dec. 4.-The government has not reached a full decision regarding the Philippine and Cuban debts; but the official gazette to-day publishes an announcement that the drawing for the redemption of the Cuban bonds will oc- cur on December 10. The speculation in the Cuban and Philippine debts on the bourse has seriously displeased the cabinet. The rise in those securities is attributed to the report that the gov- ernment will devote the indemnity re-
 ceived from the United States to the colonial indebtedness, regarding which
 no decisive resolutions have been taken | by ministers.

 treaty within reasonable tme Mem 1 bers Of the cabinet express satisfaction
 at the progress made and say the nego-
 tiations are progressing rapidly and smoothly. There are various details, however, concerning which the chair
 man desires to learn fully of the presi- dents wishes and 1t was an inquiry of
 this character which formed the bur- den of the latest communication with l Paris.

There are greater dangess than those of she angry sea- That dread disease-eou. sumption, kills more men and wefilen in q generation than the sea has swallowed up since the earliest history of navigation.
 There is a sure ard safe life-boat eveS ready to be launched for men and women who suffer from this mereiless destroyer. It is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov- cry It cures e9 per cent. of all cases of consumption, bronchitis, asthma, laryn- gifts, weak lungs, spitting of blood and throat and nasal troubles. If acts directly on the lungs, driving out all impurities and disease germs. It soothes and heals the mucous membranes of the lungs, bronchial tubes, throat and nasal cavities. 1t restores the lost appetite, makes digestion and as- sif1ilation perfect, inVigorates the liver, and puriies and enriches the blood. 1t fills the blood with the life-giving clements of the food that build flew affd healthy tissues. 1t tears down, carries off and eXcretes the diseased and half dead tissues upon which the germs of consumption thrive. It cheeks the cough and facilitates expectoration until the lungs are thor oughly cleared It is the great blood. maker and nesit-builder. Unlike cod liver oil, 1t does not build flabby flesh, but the firm, muscular tissues of health 1t does not make corpulent people more corpulent. Thousands have testified to their cure under this great medicine after they we're given up by the doctors and all hope was gone. An honest dealer will not suggest some inferior substitute for the sake of little extra gelfsb profit
