New YORK, Nov. PA dispatch

advices from Salvador via Nicaragua
Indicate that the revolt is more serious
than at first thought. 1t may involve
all the five states in general con-
fagration.
According to advices, the real OBJ
ject of the movements is the overthrow
of the federal republic, which was Or
ganized November at Amapala. To
accomplish this Regalados called in
the aid of Guatemala and Costa Rica,
who always viewed the union of Sal

constant menace to its sovereignty.
The rebels are in possession of all
the departments, with the exception
of La Union and San Miguel, the latter
q stronghold of Horacio Villavicencio,
who is candidate in opposition to
Regalados.
The federal government is hurriedly
mobilizing its forces to march against
Regalados. Honduras sends 1000; Mic.

Salvador, 1000. =. The movement is
backed by capitals who are we'll

The supreme court en- banc has denied

attorneys for the company filed their
bill of exceptions to the ruling of the
supreme court, and the case will prob
ably be appealed to the federal court.

THE SIMPLEST CURE FOR INDIGEs-
TON.

AS Well as the Safest and Cheapest.
The new medical discovery. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, digest the food in
stead of making the worn out stomach
do all the work, give it much needed
rest, and cure of dyspepsia is the
natural result.
You get nourishment and rest at the
same time because these Tablets will
thoroughly digest all wholesome food
taken into the stomach whether the
stomach works or not. A cure Is cer-
tain to result because the digestive Or
gans are given chance to rest and
recover their natural vigor and tone.
The Tablets are then no longer re-
quired.
To show the manner in which the
remedy acts on different people and
how quickly and effectually it cures
stomach troubles we present q few
recent cases.
Mr.. J. o. Wondly, of Peoria, Ill.,.
writes: 1 was unable to eat anything
but the piainest food and even that
often distressed me, but since using
one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
can eat anything and everything I

SPAIN IS BEGIN.
Ming TO WEAKEN
Almost a Certainty That
American Demands
Will be Accepted.

PARIS, Nov. 24.--The Spanish com
missioners at noon today had not fixed
upon day to submit q fual answer to
the American propositions, but it is
deemed most likely that Saturday will
oe the day appointed, The opinion
gains ground that the Spaniards will
accept the proposals of the United
States. A significant Indication OF
this view of the situation was re-
mark dropped by senor Abenzusa, OF
the Spanish commission, today that
| they expected to remain here about q
fortnight longer.
The secretary of the Spanish COM
mission, Senor Ojeda, said today that
Instructions from Madrid were not
sufficiently matured to enable them to
appoint the next meeting.
The correspondent of the associated
Press asked Aberzusa if the commis-
sion would be able to leave Paris next
week with the treaty. He replied:
~ suppose we shall be here for another
fortnight"
"Why." the Spanish commissioner
was asked, sis the opinion expressed
so emphatically by a portion of the
Paris press that you will decline the
s20,O0o,0O0, but will sign the treaty
with protest that you do so only by
pressure of superior power?'
swell it does seem that $4,000, 600
is not very satisfactory"
This was the. semi ,evasive manner
in which the Spanish diplomat answer
ed the question. His qnestioner con.
tinued:
Then it has been affirmed that
Spain will refuse to sign the treaty
decline the money offered and protest
to the powers and that her commits
sioners will go home. Is that the
most likely result?"
"Ah but we should not anticipate,
we should know day by day what hap.
pens day by day."
The Petit Bleau reaffirms today as
certainty that the Spanish will refuse
the American offer of $40, ,OOO, 900 for
the treaty cession Of the Philippines.
The Temps says: '1f Spain should
withdraw from the peace negotiations,
the war should not be resumed, but
the protocol would come into force
again. The Spanish army would
evacuate Cuba and Porto Rioo, while |
the Philippines will remain in Dewey's |
occupation, hut not Americas possess
ion. The only result would be that !
relations would not be re-
newed -

A POETIC ATTORNEY.
Wants to Argue His Case In Rhyme
but the Court Objects

Wants to Argue His Case In Rhyme
but the Court Objects.
ANDERSON, Ind, Nov.-The attor-
ney for the defendant in case in the
circuit court served notice that he
would present his argument in poetry.
The attorneys for the plaintiff protest.
ed, and the court arose in dign ity and
said he weuldn not permit poetical ar
guments.
The matter led to an argument
about the right to employ poetry in
law, and it was found there were no
precedents or statutes against such
method, and the poetical attorney was
obdurate. The court refused to let
the case proceed on this basis, and it
was postponed until January 2. The
attorney for the defense insists that
he will present and argue his case in
rhyme, and there seems to be no way
to hold him off.
