A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle of
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A
RUSH NIGHT
AND DAY.

Cuba Were all Heroes. Their Heroic
Effort In Getting Ammunition and Ra-
lions to the Front Saved the Day.
p. f. Butler, of pack-train No. 3.
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on July
23d, says: I'VE all had diarrhoea in u
more or less violent form, and when we
landed we had no time to see a doctor,
for it was case of rush and rush night
and day to keep the troops supplied
with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Dlarrhoea Remedy, we were able
to keep at work and keep our health:
in fact. sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that 4 wagon train could use. My COM
rade and myself had the good fortune
to lay in a supply of this medicine for
our pack-train before we left Tampa,
and know in four cases it absolutely
saved life"

manufacturers of this medicine, the

No VETO ON CUBAN QUESTION
M'KINLEY WILL NOT oBSTRUCT

the Powers and Is Not Borrowing
Any Trouble On That Score.

Washington, April 15.-The cabinet
meeting today was devoted to a general
discussion of the Cuban question, but
without anything of Importance result

members OF the cabinet do not think
the effect obviously making by Spain

Will result in their agreeing on any
particular line of action. The present
Position Cf the administration is that
of awaiting congressional action, with
out attempting to influence it, or post
pone its decision.
The president. ii can be stated, is not
at all likely to veto any resolution that
congress may adopt on the Cuban
question. The administration does not
ton for the recognition of the Cuban
insurgents, but if it should, a veto of
it would be very improbable.
II is said. however, hat the presi-
dent might regard it as an encroach-
ment on his prerogative. the constitu-
ton clearly making it the duty of the
executive to recognize the indepsnd-
eEce of a nation.
At the same time, the cabinet has
rot discussed the course to be pursued
in the event of congressional declara-
ton for independence.
Considerable of the time of the meet
ing was devoted to a discussion of de-
tails of the work the army and navy
would be called on to perform in the
event of war. II was said by one cab
met member that the militia of the sew
eral states are not likely to be called
upon for any concentration at a given
point. unless war actually comes. The
president is waiting earnestly for some
action by congress. so as to determine
just what to do. There was some talk
also concerning the emergency fund of
$50,000,000 which has been very largely
drawn upon. although it is said there
