SITUATION IN PHILIPPINES.

Attitude Of German Naval Force Does not
Greatly Disturb the walhlnEton ON.
eiaIs--No News from Dewey,
WASHINGTON. D. G.. July 1S-It
was stated at the navy department that
no dispatches had been received from
Admiral Dewey relating to the import
ant events at the Philippines described
in the press cables. Il IS evident. how
ever, that the officials do not now feel
the same concern relative TO the attl-
tude OF the German naval force at Ma
nila they did Wilen the admtral's last
dispatch was received. It Is NOT 80 STAT
ed officially but there is good reason 10
believe that either through Ambassador
White at Berlin, or the representative
OF the German government here, the
department has received someassuraness- =
as to the attitude OF Germany towards
the Philippines that have IN q large
measure removed the grave aprfehen-
sion heretofore entertained that Ger
cutIon Of our plans.
II is not known Just what the nature
OF these assurances is, and It may be
that they are based upon some facts
communicated by Admiral Dewey as 70
the exchanges which have taken place
between himself and the German ad-
miral In the Philippines, for It is known
that for polite reasons the navy de-
partrnent withheld from publication q
large and important section Of Dewey's
last cablegran received several days
ago.
The reported negotiations between
the insurgent leader Aguinaldo and the
Spanish captain general Augusti, have
not yet been reported officially to our
government. Unsavory stories of pre-
Vlous exhibitions Of lack OF integrity on
the part OF the insurgent leaders had
led the government here TO adopt a
very wary attitude in oil communities
tions with this people and the same rule
of action now governs It's conduct. Il
does not follow from this that the gov
erhment Is convinced that Aguidaldo e
playing false. There Is no doubt that
the pro-spanlsh element In the Philip
pines and In Asia would lose no oppor-
tunlty to create that Impression with q
view to causing breach between tho
United States military and naval coni-
manders and the insurgents. but the
very suggestion Of the adoption by the
Insurgents Of the course attributed to
them tends very stroagiY to retaFd the

tion to govern the future OF the Philip

WHO SAYS so?

(From Sydney Morning Herald.)
Who told you so?
NeighbOr So-and-sO.
Oh, well, that's all right.
Testimony differs, doesn't it?
The more some people say
The less faith we have.
But the right mans word
Is taken at once.
That's the difference.
Sydney people want Sydney refer

Particularly in matters of health.
We tell you Doan's Backache Kidney
Pills cure,
But we are the makers of them,

it?
Sydney people say so.
And we give you their addresses
Perhaps you may know them.
Mr. Geo. H. Griffith is connected with
the Denison House Drapery Co, of
George Street, this city. He says:
''For some years [ have endured a
severe backache, the result of dis
ordered kidneys. The pain was more
pronounced when I was engaged in
work which necessitated my STOPPING
down. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills
afforded me great relief, and I can
strongly recommend them to kidney
sufferers"
Your lungs supply air to your blood
Your heart pumps it all over your
body.
Your kidneys filter it.
You would die if any Of these three
great organs stopped their work.
But if any one is more important
than the others, it is the kidneys.
If your heart is the cause Of one dis
ease, your kidneys are the cause Of
twenty.
Treating the kidneys is a great hep
in some lung and heart diseases
But treating your lungs or heart will
never benefit your kidneys.
When you feel dull, ambitiOnless,
dizzy, tired, nervous, have pain in your
back, headache, chilly sensations, evil
forebodings, pufiness of the eyelids,
swelling of the feet and ankles, when
you are losing flesh and sleep, you may
be sure you have kidney trouble.
