Assistant Secretary Mikeljohn, after con-

this left in its wake a low type of fever,
not typhoid, as has been reported, which
weakened the patient considerably The

at his work even while confined to his room
undoubtedly retarded his recovery very
much but he was finally induced to give

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA

What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean, Make a Test of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indians
apoIis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia. People
having it think that their nerves are to
blame and are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicine and spring reme-
dies; the real seat of the mischief is lost
sight of; the stomach is the organ TO be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any
pain whatever in the stomach nor perhaps
any of the usual symptoms of stomach
weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself
not in the stomach so much as in nearly ev-
cry other organ in some cases the heart
pa1pitates and is irregular; in others the
kidneys are affected; in others the bowels
are constipated, with headaches; still others
are troubled with loss of flesh and appetite,
with accumulation of gas, sour risings and
heartburn.

let's. 1 have been sufferer from nervous
dyspepsia for the last four years; have used

dies without any favorable result. They

keeper, with little physical exercise, but l

TAMPICO. Mex, Jan. 10. - Maj. Gen.
Julio Sanguilly was a passenger on the
Ward line steamer Saratoga, arriving here
this afternoon. A reporter found him at
the Hotel Continental at dinner, and intro
duced himself asked for an interview and
succeeded in eliciting from MIN his adven-
lures since leaving New York. He stated
that he left New York ostensibly for Tam
pico, two of his friends having secured his
passage beforehand and made all necessary
arrangements for his safe landing at Ha-
Vana. He assumed the name of John Ha-
ley and stated that he was an invalid and
wished to remain in his stateroom during
the trip No one in New York knew of his
departure, except his two friends who were
members of the Cuban Junto. When he
arrived in Havana arrangements were
made by which he was to be taken ashore
at O'Clock on the day of the departure of
the boat, but through the treachery of the
man who was to row him ashore the secret
was divulged to the police, the chief of
whom presented himself al the door of the
generals Stateroom and informed him it
was known to the police that Sanguilly was
on board and that he would not be permit
ted to leave the vessel.

HAVANA Jan. 10-The insurgents are

Mayari on the north coast of the province
of Santiago de Cuba. Troops have left
Gebara, the northern port in the same
province to relieve the garrison of Mayari.
News from Spanish sources just received
here give an account of what appears to
have been a gallant defense of a fort at
Santiago de Cuba by Spanish troops. 1t
seems that the principal fertilization pro-
tecting the buildings of the central planta-
ton of Ysabel, belonging to Beattie & Co.,
al English concern, at Media Luna, near
Manzainollo, was attacked by strong in
surgent force during the night of Jan. 2.
The insurgents had with them, it is
claimed, d rapid-fire cannon, which they
placed in position about six hundred meters
from the fort and behind an embankment
of earth. AT the same time two hundred
insurgents captured the machinery house of
the plantation. The fort defending the lat
ter consisted of brick building, two sto-
ries high and in the form of
cross. 1t was surrounded by wire
fences and bitches and was garrisoned
by ninetysix soldiers under the command
of Captain Esterban Benedicto Manilo, who
had two heutenants under him. AT a. m.

upon it from both sides of the river, try

repulsed. At O'Clock the Spanish attack
continued, the insurgent infantry making a
second stand and the Spaniards again drove
them back Thereupon the insurgents re-
sumed their artillery fire and kept it up till
dark. During Jan. the fort was relieved
by Captain Organ, in command of the local

Why Lord William Neville Is Not Ex-

tradited for the Crime of Forgery.

Democrat.
Much scandal is caused here just at pres
to take steps toward securing the extradi-
ton of Lord William Neville, whose fraud,
perpetrated at the expense of his friend
Mr.. Clay and the well-known money lender,
Sam Lewis, was denounced from the bench
by the lord chief justice as constituting
from legal point of view, the crime of
forgery. This being the case, it is felt by
the public that the same steps against Lord
William should be taken by the public
prosecutor as if he were a forger of less
aristocratic rank and that inasmuch as his
whereabouts on the continent are known,
his arrest, and extradition should be de-
manded.
The failure of the public prosecutor to
move in the matter is ascrbed not without
reason, to the powerful influence of the
Prince of Wales, who wishes, at all costs,
to avoid another cause celebre calculated
to still further degrade the nobility in the
eyes OF the people, which he regards as i'm
polite. and who is likewise DESTROYS of
avoiding any further pain and sorrow to
the old Marquis of Abergavenny, father of
Lord William. or to the parents of Lady
William, the Murriettas, who are his init
mate friends. The public prosecutor is a
member Of the aristocracy, being the broth
er of Lord Desart, and the heir to his earl
dom.
There is a strong feeling of caste among
the henderson, the British nobility which,
as a general rule, leads them far as pos
of the black sheep of their order and the
Hon. Hamilton Cuffe, who now holds the
Office of public prosecutor, is no exception
to the rule. Indeed, the manner in which
blue-blooded offenders are permitted to es-
cape is public disgrace and several in
fluential members of the House of Commons
have proclaimed in the newspapers their
intention of calling for a legislative in
vestigation of the public prosecutors of
flee as soon Parliament meets 1t is not
so long ago that the wealthy Lady Hal
don, in denying financial responsibility for
a promSsory note Endorsed with her name
and for which she was being sued by a
money lender, produced in court letter
written to her by her son, in which he ac-
knowledged having forged her name, judg-
ment being consequently delivered in her
favor. Yet no steps were ever taken by the
public prosecutor against this self-con-
fessed blue-blooded forger, who in course
of time. may inherit his fathers peerage
and occupy his seat i'm the House of Lords
as an hereditary legislator.
Attention has also been drawn to the fact
that, although Oscar Wilde was sent to
prison, yet Lord Alfred Douglas. whom the
evidence in court showed to be equally
guilty. was never prosecuted. while in the
case of Mr.. Hurl5urt the warrant for his
arrest was detained by the public prose-
cutor until he had left the kingdom and
got beyond the reach of the police, his inn

huence of his many titled friends here

gregating almost If not quite as much. No
is lkely to be made in the near future by
either side to press these claims and the
opinion prevails about the State Depart

but for restoration of peace on lines of
enlarged freedom. No time limit has been
set, and there is no present disposition on
the part of the administration TO fix such
limit. If the situation should at any time
in the future, whether sixty days from now,
six months or two years, become hopeless,
then the President may decide to again ten
der the friendly offices of this government
to bring about peace.
There is no INSTRUMENTATION consplr-
acy in Congress to enbarrass the President
in carrying out his Cuban policy, the gen.
eral terms of which are fully understood
and approved by the Republican leaders in
both branches of Congress regardless or
their personal feelings towards Mr.. Mckin-
ley. This explanation is peculiarly timely
just now on account of an effort making in
certain quarters to produce the impression
that friction is about to be generated De-
tween Congress and the President over
Cuba and Cuban matters, and the fact that
there is a big budget of claims in the state
Department is seized upon as one of the
excuses for the reports. The business men
of the United States are very sensitive
about our international relations at this
juncture and prone to take alarm at any
kind of story which may be set afloat,
jumping to safety first and inquiring into
the accuracy of the stories afterwards This
uneasiness is due TO haunting fear that
before this Cuban matter is finally settled
this country may become involved in
trouble with Spain, and anything tending to
a confirmation of this fear shakes the
nerves of investors. There is absolutely no
ground for alarm at this juncture and there
is nothing to suggest change in the situa-
ton for good while to come.
