ORDERS TO WARSHIPS
INDICATE A FIRM BELIEF THAT
WAR IS OVER
The Eastern Squadron Is Disbanded
and Commodore Watson Ordered
to Mare Island

NEW YORK, Sept. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Long has issued orders dis
banding the Eastern squadron and assign
ing its commander, Commodore Watson, to
duty as commandant OF the Mare Island
Navy Yard. These orders indicate the
firmness Of the belief entertained by the
Administration that there is no danger of
the resumption of hostilities. The Eastern
squadron was formed just before the de-
struction OF Cervera's fleet, when Admiral
Camaras command started for the Philip
pines and the object of its organization was
attained when Camara and his fleet were
ordered back to Spain.
For the present the department proposes
to retain the men-of-war now In Southern
Cuban waters in that section and Cap; ain
C. F. Goodrich as senior officer will have
command. Captain Goodrich commands
the cruiser Newark. Besides this cruiser
there are at or near Guantanamo, the Hist,
Scorpion and Leonidas. The Nashville is at
Gibara.
Secretary Long expects to re-establ.sh
the European and South Atlantic stations
as soon as the treaty of peace is signed. 1t
Is also his intention to lay up several YES
sells in reserve.
Orders putting the ram Katahdin out OF
commission have been issued. She will be
placed in reserve with the Columbia and
Minneapolis at League Island. All OF the
armorclads will be kept in commission and
will be distributed among the several sta
lions when the peace treaty is signed.
The Administration desires 20 let Europe
see the character Of the vessels Of the
United States ana an excellent squadron
will be formed and ordered abroad

The Insurgent Congress:
LONDON, Sept. 16.-The Manila corre-

day, says:

tai of the revolutionary movement. Early
this forenoon Aguinaldo, accompanied by
a large staff of generals and ministers

pied as his military headquarters, passing
between lines of infantry and through
streets decorated with palms and banners
and packed with thousands of peasants IN

brief message in the Tagalong language,
afterward repeating it in Spanish Inc
substance of the message was congratula-
tory on the happy termination of the revo-
luton and the complete conquest of the
territory. He made flowery appeal to the
delegates, asking them, by the memory of
Che illustrious patriots of Philippine his
tory. to follow the example, of England,
America and France in preparing con-
stitution and promulgating laws to secure
the complete and permanent liberty OF the
people Of the Philippines. The message ex-
cited but little enthusiasm, because 1t was
absolutely non-committal. The assembly
then proceeded Immediately to organize,
preparatory to discussion of the proposed
constitution and code of laws and the cleo
ton Of a president
The absence of several of the most prom
inent ard influential natives was particu-
larry noticeable, as indicating an intention
of holding aloof until the policy Of the con-
gress is fully declared.
No Protectorate Wanted
A strong party, intoxicated by the pres
ent measure of success, favors opposition
to any foreign protectorate, being confident
that the people can govern themselves.
Wiser counselors strenuously oppose such
a suicidal policy. Apparently unanimity
exists only in the determination to free the
islands forever from Spanish rule. This is
the universal feeling 1t will probably prove
the controlling power In determining the
final action of the congress.

university at Picking, in connection with
schools which are to be established in the
provincial capital. Educational institutions
called the third class" are to be opened
in the department and district cities.
Another dispatch from Minister Conger

has taken long stride in advance in civil
ization by encouraging the newspapers OF
his empire to publish a truthful and full
account of daily events and TO be both bold
and fearless in the discussion Of current az

the Chinese Daily Progress an official or

DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Lewis Gebbhard Murders HIS Wife
and Then Shoots Himself.

|
CASCADE LOCKS, Ore, March % =
Lewis Gebbhard, aged 20, shot and
killed his wife, aged 65, and then
turned the pistol upon himself and
took his own life The bodies were
not found until yesterday morning.
Gebbhard, who is a German, and an
old soldier, had lived with his wife
here for the past 10 or IL years. He
has been of late a small farmer. FIRE.
quent quarrels have occurred between
himself and his wife for many years,
Particularly severe have these quar-
rels been when Gebthard was under
the influence of liquor,
Last night Gebbhard must have
been more quarrelsome than usual. In
fact, judging from the silent evidence
about the lonely cottage which the
couple occupied, the fight must have
been that of a maniac on one side and
q defeDseless woman on the other.
Blood was found in the bed and in the
room.
Gebbhard had evidently beaten his
wife with some instrument, in his
mad frenzy. In her attempt to escape
she had fled the house and reached
the front porch. She got no farther,
as, with pistol in hand, he fired at her
and she fell forward, and when found
her body was lying on the edge of the
porch.
The man, after committing the
murder walked into the house, and,
lying down upon lounge in the room,
placed the pistol to his head and sent
a bullet into his own brain and his
soul into eternity.
The shots were heard, but no atten-
tion was paid to them. Yesterday
morning the dead bodies were ,found,
and the coroner notified. He now has
charge of the remains.
But one child, daughter, survives
the old couple. She is grown, and
married, her name being Mrs. NORM.
She lives with her husband at Fort
Stevens.
Gebbhard had. been in i'll health it is
said, Of late, and got it into his head
that his wife was trying to cause his
death. He was also jealous of her for
some cause known only 70 himself,
although the neighbors declare there
was no occasion for his jealousy.

Bottom Side Up.

SAN FRENCIsCo, March, 23.-The
Pacific Coast Steamship Company's
steamer Santa Rosa, from San Diego
brought news of a horrible accident.
| Indirectly attributed to the Alaskan
gold excitement, which is believed to
have cost the lives of forty passengers
and sailors. Captain Alexander, of
Santa Rosa, reported that while niue
miles off Point Bonita, at the mouth
Of the Golden Gate, he sighted dere-
lict, bottom up. Tie tug Sea Witch
was Immediately dispatched to
the point indicated, and found
the derelct to be the bark Helen
W, Almy, Captain Ho ran, which
sailed hence for Copper River points
with twenty-seven passengers aud a
crew of thirteen on Sunday last The
bark lay upon he starboard side with
her stern low down in the water, her
deck hamper badly wrecked and
several planks of her hull washed loose
by the seas which broke over her.
While there was no signs of boats
among the wreckage, IL is not believed
that her passengers and crew escaped
by putting off from the vessel in them,
as there had been a very heavy sea for
several days past. Furthermore, no
word had been received from the sur
yivors if any exist, although the
derelict was sighted within ten miles
of this port, and fully forty eight
hours have passed since the wreck oc-
Cured.
According to the tug -boat-men
there was pretty stiff breeze when n
the Almy sailed out of the Golden
Gate Sunday, and near night it was
blowing a gale, She left here under
topsails and when last seen was stand
ing out for an offing, There was
heavy sea running and it is supposed
that some time during the night she
was struck by squall and turned
turtle.

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A SIMPLE, HARMLESS REMEDY.
Yet 1t Cures the Worst Case of Dyspep-
sia and indigestion.

Yet 1t Cures the Worst Case of Dyspep
sia and Indigestion.
DR.. Jennison, who has made q life
study of stomach trouble says: All
forms of Indigestion really amount 10
the same thing, that is, failure to
completely digest the food eaten; no
matter whether the trouble is acid
dyspepsia or sour stomach, belching
of wind, nervous dyspepsia or loss of
flesh and appetite; person will not
have any of them il the stomach can
be induced by any natural, harmless
way to thoroughly digest what is
eaten, and this can be done by sim
pie remedy which j have tested in
hundreds of aggravated cases with
complete success. The remedy is a
combination of fruit and vegetable es-
sences, pure aseptic pepsin and golden
seal put up ia the form of pleasant
tasting tablets and sole by druggists
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. One or two of these tablets
should be taken after meals and al
lowed to dissolve in the mouth and
mingliug with tue food in the stOm-
ach, digests it completely before it
has time to ferment and sour,
On actual experiment one grain of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
three Thousand grains of meat, eggs
and similar wholesome foods.
1t is safe to say If this wholesome
remedy was better known by people
generally, it would be national bless
ing, as we are nation of dyspepitcs
and nine-tenths of all diseases owe
their origin to imperfect digestion
and nutrition.
Stuart'siDyspepsia Tablets are not
secret patent medicine, hut a fifty
cent package will do more real good
for a weak stomach than fifty dollars
worth of patent medicines, and per-
son has the satisfaction of knowing
just what he is putting into his
stomach, which he does not know,
when widely advertised patent med
icines are used.
All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets, full sized packages, 80 cts.
