Attempt to Draw Out Americans Delays
Proceedings.
PARIS, Dec. 3.-The days session Of
the peace conference lasted two hours,
but nothing was accomplished. The
discussions covered q wide range and
when the Spaniards were pressed fol
definite statements they had not re-
ceived instructions from Madrid. There.
upon the Americans declared, in diplo.
matte phraseo1ogy, that it was useless
to waste time in debate with men who
were not empowered to make bargains.
The Spanish version of the days ses-
sion is that they asked to have the
treaty concluded first and then the
minor matters discussed, According to
reports from American sources the
Spanish commissioners

ing to compromise the demands under
discussion without disclosing what con.
cessions Spain was willing to make. As
the negotiations proceed the prospects Of
consuming much time increase. Sew.
eral very important propositions, pre-.
senting many phases, invite discussion
and must afterwards be embodied in
the agreements. This task of embody.
ing may be long drawn out, every word
and comma requiring consideration.
On the questions yet unsettled which
do not concern territorial or financial
interests both committees display laud
able anxiety to promote the welfare OF
the inhabitants involved.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-The members
Of the Cuban commission, headed by
General Garcia, called ut the White
House at $50 o'clock and were soon
ushered into the cabinet room, whore
they were received by the president
The meeting, however, was entirely in.
formal and unofficial in character. Il
lasted an hour and q half. The greet.
ing Of the president was very cordial,
but the distinguished Cubans were re.
ceived 40 citizens Of Cuba and not a.
having an official status. Nothing could
be learned at the White House as to the
subjects OF the conversation. 81
Senior Gonzales de Quesada, who pre-.
sented General Garcia and the other
members Of the commission to the presi.
dent and acted as interpreter in the con.
ference that followed, said that as the
conference was of private nature 1t
manifestly would be improper to make
public any Of the details. He was salts.

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.

A fact often overlooked, or not always
understood, is that women suffer MS much
from distressing kidney and bladder
troubles as the men. The womb is situa-
ted back Of and very close to the bladder,
and for that reasonyany distress, disease
or inconvenience manifestedvin the Kid
neys, back, bladder or urinary passage is
often by mistake, attributed to female
weakness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided by setting urine aside for
twenty-four hours; a sediment or set
Ting is evidence that your kidneys and
bladder need doctoring. If you have
pain or dull aching in the back, pass wa
ter'too'frequently, or scanty supply, with
smarting OF burning-these are also con-
vincing proofs of kidney trouble. If
vou have doctored without benefit, try
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great

Art and Mystery of Driving . Hos.
The difficulty of driving a single hog
was we'll illustrated at Lynchburg,
Va, recently. at about train time
Some men were driving a herd Of
swine to Amherst, and as they ap-
preached the bridge one of the ami
mails became obstreperous and bolted
toward the city, becoming thereby
separated from the rest Of the drove.
The three or four men, assisted BY
volunteers, placed themselves between
the city and the rebellious hog in q
semi-circle. while one Of their number
advanced cautiously and began to
tickle the hogs nose with pine
brush. This would make the animal
turn round, and each time he did SO
he would move a few steps toward
the bridge and the rest Of the drove.
The manoeuvres were watched with
a great deal of interest by large
crowd OF spectators, and when finally
the wayward one returned to the bo-
som Of the drove, very audible muir
muir of admiration went up from the
