nent physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the majority of our diseases:

Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected
by this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.

Jones replied, "All right" but at

only thirty roaster men working to-
night.
Manager Wright says: IF work be
not resumed in this department the
mine will have to be shut down, and the
railway, smelter and all other works

The officer accompanying the Pay

DU Bose AND CARRANZA.
Power to Expel Them From Canada
Reserved to Parliament.

OTTAWA (Ont), June 1O.-State-
ments sent out from ottawa that the
Government has decided to deport Senor
Du Bose and Lieutenant Carranza, the
alleged Spanish spies, lack confrma-
ton. 1t is thought in official circles,
after a careful examination Of the
laws, that the crown has not the right
to expel them. The power is reserved
to Parliament, which brings into play
a special Act.
In Great Britain since 1S43 it has
been held that in the absence of Par
liamentary authority the power of ex-
pulsion does not exist. If the TWO
Spaniards have employed persons in
Canada to act as spies in the United
States, they have violated the foreign
enlistment law, and are liable to prose-
cution under it. The Government may
intimate to them that if they remain
they will be prosecuted, and, If they
chose to leave no action will be taken.
But the accused may elect, If they
choose, to remain and answer the
charges brought against them in the
courts

NEW YORK, June 10.-A dispatch
to the World from Cadiz says:
Strange rumors are afloat in naval
circles abott Admiral Montejo and
Governor General Augusti having grad
ually sent out from Manila the crews
of the warships destroyed by Admiral
Dewey, in order to take possession in
a Chinese port of three powerful arm
ored cruisers that will suddenly pounce
upon the American fleet in Manila Bay
1t is said that the Chinese Government
has been handsomely paid in gold for
the cruisers. The rumor requires con-
firmatiOn. i
Admiral Camera and his reserve
squadron are still in Cadiz, waiting.
The report about bringing three pow
erful armored cruisers from China is
preposterOus for two reasons. In the
first place, China could not sell war
ships to Spain, for that would be
breach of neutrality. Secondly, China
has no such vessels. Since her mis-
understanding with Japan China'S
