C0NFERS
WITH LEE
President Talks Over Gu
ban Situation With
Consul General.
Reconstruction of West
Indian Affairs Thor
oughsy Discussed.
New York to Have Re-
view of SIMPSONS
Fleet.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The recon
struction of affairs in Cuba and Porto
Rico are receiving earnest considera-
ton in official quarters. At the white
house Monday the president saw q
number of prominent callers in refer
ence to this reconstruction in our
new insular dependencies. Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee spent some time with the
president going over the condition of
| Cuban affairs. While no announce
ment was made, the impression pre-
vailed that Gen. Lee would be one
of the Cuban military commissioners
to be named within few days. Act
ing Secretary Allen of the navy also
saw the president concerning Cuban
affairs. It is probable that an Amer
| lean naval vessel will go to Havana
harbor before long. Secretary Day
also conferred with the president and
later determined to take a weeks va
cation. He went to Atlantic
City last night and viii
probably later, 60 to Canton,
o. The secretary's retirement from
the head of the department is likely
to follow soon after his return from
Canton The navy department de-
cided during the day to yield so far
as practicable to the pubic desire at
New York for a naval review of the
ships of Admiral Sampson feet. Ac-
cordingly Acting Secretary Allen is
sued the following order:
The department is much gratitied
at the desire expire sed to see a re-
view Ct the warships and cruisers
recently ordered home, and so far
as practicable is DESTROYS of carrying
cut the wishes of the citizens who
wish to see the ships. But neither
the officers nor the men in the feet
are in condition to participate in a
street parade. The department is
taking opportunity of the armistice
to put these sh ps at once in o the
best possible condition, for such uses
as may hereafter be required of them.
II is expec ed that all other work will
be suspended and the entire available
force of the navy directed to this
work in order to secure the greatest
possible dispatch. The department
will direct that, upon its arrival in
New York harbor, the fleet will steam
up North River as far as Grants
tcmb, fire a salute and steam back
to anchorage. 1t is expected the fleet
will reach New York Saturday"
The navy department is taking
steps to reduce the naval militiamen
called into service from the several
states. The Minneapolis is to trans
fer part of her crew to the Yosemite,
thus releasing the Michigan naval
militiamen. The Co umbia is also
to transfer her crew to the Dixie and
other auxiliary craft, thus allowing
the naval milHiamen on these auxil-
aries to go home.

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow, sunken checked, dis
tressed- looking people you SO often meet
are afflicted with Kidney Complexion. y
Their kidneys are turning to parsnip
color So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous exhaus-
ton and sometimes the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble
is until it is almost too late, because the
first symptoms are so like mild sickness
that they do not think they need a med
icine or doctor till they find themselves
sick in bed.
Dr. Kilmers Swamp-Root will build
up and strengthen their weak and diseas-
ed kidneys, purify their diseased kidney
poisoned blood, clear their complexion
and soon they will enjoy better health.
You can get the regular size at the
drug store, at fifty cents and one dollar,
or you may prove for yourself the wonder
full virtues of this great discovery, Swamp
Root, by sending your address to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y. for a
sample bottle and book that tells all
about it, both sent to you absolutely free
by mail. When writing kindly mention

Your Danger Now

Is from the overworked condition of
the liver and kidneys which are unable
to expel impurities from the blood. This
causes rheumatism. Hoods Sarsaparilla
has been wonderfully successful in curing
this disease. 1t neutralizes the acid in
the blood and permanently cures the
aches and pains which other medicines
fail to relieve. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
best winter medicine because it purifies,
enriches and vitalizes the blood. Itgives
help just where help is needed 1t tones
the stomach, stimulates the liver, and
arouses and sustans the kidneys. 1t
wards off pneumonia, fevers, bronchitis
colds, coughs and the grip.
