QestiOn and diSordered liver
mean that man is fighting the first round
with de ath. Unless he manages to strike
the knockout blow, it means that death
will come up in the second round in the
guise of some serious malady. When
mans stomach IS weak and his digestion
is impaired, the life-giving elements of the
food he takes are not aSsimilated into the
blood. The blood gets thin and weak, and
the body slowly starves. In the meantime
the disordered liver and the sluggish bow
els have forced into the blood all manner
of impurities. The body is hungry and
stream carries to it. In place of healthy
nutriment it receives for food foul poisons
that should have been excreted by the
bowels. Continued, this system of starva-
ton combined with poisoning, will wreck
every organ in the body. Naturally, the
weakest organ will give way first If a
man is naturally nervous, he will break
down with nervous exhaustion or prostra-
ton. If he inherits weak lungs, the con-
sequence will be consumption, bronchitis,
asthma, or some disease of the afr passages.
If he has a naturally sluggish liver, he will
suffer from serious bilious or malarial at

Comments ON the Alleged Happenings
at Santiago de Cuba.

Copyright, 1885, by the Associated Press)
LONDON, June 2-Amid the conflicting
accounts of what happened at Santiago de
Cuba, it appears certain that there were
two separate incidents-the Spanish torpedo
attempt Sunday night, and the American
bombardment or reconnaissance Tuesday
afternoon. Probably neither will turn out
of great Importance, except as proving that
the entrance to the harbor is better pro-
tected by mines and guns than might have
been anticipated from Admiral Dewey's ex-
perience at Manila 1t is believed here that
this is all Admiral Sampson desired to dis
cover and that the Spanish Senate has little
to exult over. Admiral Cervera is expected
to repeat the torpedo boat attempts, with
view OF keeping the American squadron as
distant as possible, in order to facilitate his
escape. Unless he can do this. the Ameri-
cans are almost certain to capture the three
or four Spanish cruisers now known to be
inside Santiago
The anxiety the Spaniards betray in pub
isnlng reports as to the evolutions OF

mise tnat Admiral Camara is already on
the way This, as the Daily News suggests,

Admiral Dewey Returns Thanks.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The President
to-day sent the following message to Con-
gress:
The resolution of Congress passed May
3, 1898, rendering to Commodore George
Dewey comnander-in-chief of the United
States naval force at the Asiatic naval sta
ton, the thanks of Congress and of the
American people for highly distinguished
conduct in conflict with the enemy, as dis
played by him in the destruction of the
Spanish fleet and batteries in the harbor of
Manila, Philippine islands, May l. 1898, and,
through him, extending the thanks of Con-
gress and of the American people to the Off
GERS and men under his command for gall
lantry and skill exhibited by them on that
occasion, required the President to COM
municate the same to Commodore Dewey,
and, through him, to the officers and men
under his command. This having been done
through the secretary of the navy on the
18th of May, 1898, the following response has
been received and is hereby transmitted to
Congress:
I desire to express to the department
and request that it be transmitted to the
President and to Congress my most sincere
thanks for the great compliment paid
to me.

Army of 100, 600 to Invade Cuba.

NEW YORK, June IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Not until

lied, drilled and equipped will the main in
vasion of Cuba take place This is Presi-
dent McKinley's decision after carefully
considering all the conditions and the diff
culties which the army would encounter in
attacking Spain's stronghold at Havana
When this army will start is a question
which has not yet been decided. but the re-
port Of General Miles when he returns from
his present tour of inspection may throw
much light on the subject. 1t is fully real
lied by the administration that the making
of an effective army of 100000 men cannot
be accomplished in month even If con-
siderable proportion of the men have had
some training in the National Guard"

Want Part of the Philippines.
PARIS, June 1.-The Figaro publishes the
following dispatch from its St. Petersburg
correspondent: Public attention in Russia
Is chiefly devoted to the incidents of the
Spanish-American war. Sympathy leans
rather towards Spain than to America, so
there was naturally much sorrow over the
naval disaster at Cavite, and now there is
rejoicing at the small successes of the army
in Cuba. Russia is also discussing the
future of the Philippines. which it is feared
will fall entirely into the power of the
and England. Regarding this the Russian
press thinks that a division of the islands
would cause great prejudice to the interests
OF Russia unless she were given her share
IN the archipelago. If such a division takes
place the maintenance of peace would be
seriously threatened for it would be diff
cult to conciliate the interests of the sew
eral great powers sharing in the division.

might easily be conceived that Schley would

also reason for accepting the statement

sources from Santiago through the cable
