ALGER AGAIN
URGED TO ACT
Prompt Measures Demanded if Ameri-
merican Prestige is to be Main
tained--Evacuatio Commissioners
Continue to Advise the Sending of
American Warships to Havana.

New York, Oct. PA dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
General Butler has warned Secretary
Alger that some show of strength must
be made soon or America will loose all
prestige with the Cubans. This warn
ing has been given emphasis by the re-
ported return to the hills of a band of
insurgents who had been encamped near
Sagua. These men sent word to Gen.
Betancourt that their condition was in
tolerable. In the hills they could live
as they had for three years, and if the
American troops took possession of the
island they would harass them as long
as life was left.
It is believed this move was counseled
by several fiery leaders. Only fifty men
are said to have gone out, but others are
likely to follow them any day. Accord
ing to General Gomez it would take ten
thousand men to capture fifty insurgents
fighting as guerillas in the mountains.
The insurgents in the vicinity of Havana
are quiet, but they are far from being
satisfied.
The American evacuation commission
continues to adyise the sending of war;
ships here, but can get no reply from
Washington. The reason may be that
Admiral Sampson has refused to join
General Wade in recent requests.
Matanzas merchants complain OF the
Iawless conduct of the insurgents, who
still assert their right to levy contribu-
tions upon sugar estates. j. Luris, head
of firm of merchants and estate owners
of Matanzas, said that the leader of the
local insurgents had demanded a tax for
the preservation OF property from attack
Luris refused on the ground that the
war had ended. The next day the Gu
bans in force took possession of a band
of cattle, which were slaughtered and
the meat was distributed among the
men.
The work of preparing for the landing
of American troops is progressing as
rapidly as possible. An officer connect
ed with the quartermaster's department
has prepared a list Of addresses of ali
available mechanics and laboring men
in the city. Ii necessary a large number
of men can be placed at work building
wharfs, railroad spurs and hospitols at
one days notice.

STORM ON THE
LAKES FURIOUS
ChicagO's Water Front Badly Battered
in Spots. Severity of the Blow
Was the Greatest Since 1894.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-Chicago's lake
front is battered in spots from the In
diana state line to Evanston and beyond,
as the result of the storm which found
center here during the last two days.
While no lives have been reported lost,
the severity of the blow-forty-eigh
miles an hour at its worst-was the
greatest since the gale of 1894, when the
shore was strewn with wrecks and many
sailors perished.
The total damage is estimated at $S1-
500. The objects that suffered most
were the Lake Shore promenades and
walls, whose hugh rocks and flags were
battered down and tossed around like
chips by the waves. The Lincoln Park
board has suffered most in this respect.
1t will require $35, 900 to replace it's
wrecked waye.
An indication of the fury of the storm
is the fact that the official clock IN the
photographic Office in the Masonic tenn
pie was stopped by the vibration of the
big building. The hands pointed to AS
p. M, when the pendulum ceased to
swing. Lieutenant Wilson says all
clocks on the upper floors of high Office
buildings were similarly affected.

A Clever Trick.

It certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has lame back and weak kid
neys, malaria or nervous troubles. We
mean he can cure himself right away by
taking Electric Bitters. This medicine
tones up the whole system, acts as a
stimulant to the Liver and Kidneys, is a
blood purifier and nerve tonic. 1t cures
constipation, headache, faInting spells,
sleeplessness and melancholy. 1t is
purely vegetable, a mild laxative, and
restores the system to its natural vigor.
Try Electric Bitters and be convinced
that they are miracle worker. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only SOC a bottle at

NO FAITH CURE
ABOUT sTUART's DYSPEPSIA TAB
LETS.
They Cure Stomach Troubles and Indi-
gestion Anyway. Whether You
Have Faith in Them or Not.

Mere faith will not digest your food
for you, will not give an appetite, will
not increase your feah and strengthen
your nerves and heart, but Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets win do these things, be-
cause they are composed of the elements
OF digestion, they contain |the juices,
acids and peptones necessary to the di-
gestion and assimilation of all whole
some food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
food if placed in jar or bottle in water
heated to % degrees, and they will do it
much more effectively when taken sinto
the stomach after meals, whether you
have faith that they will or not.
They invigorate, the stomach, make
pure blood and strong nerves,in the only
way that nature can do it, and that is
plenty of wholesome food well digested
1t is not what we eat, but what we di-
gest that does us good.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
nearly all druggists at so cents for full
eizsd package, or by mail from the Stu
art Co., Marshall, Mich.

WEAKEN ON
THE EVACUATION
Request Another Joint Conference With
the Americans and Promise to Fix
Date for Completing the Evacua-
ton.

New YORK, Oct. ga Herald special
from Havana says: A joint session OF the
Two commissions will be held soon.
General Parade sent a communication
TO General Wade, asking if the Ameri-
cans would consent to another joint ses-
eion. General Wade had previously
given notice that he and his associates
were tired of meeting without result,
and would not again confer with the
commissioners in formal session unless
here was some probability of an agree
nent on the date of the evacuation.
A frank talk General Butler had with
General Parade a few days ago, re-
suited in this request for joint session,
% which the Americans today assented,
saying they would set the date later.
From an American commissioner it is

PHILIPPINES
COME UP NEXT
Matter of the Disposal of the Islands
to be Taken Up for Consideration
at the NOxt Joint Session of the
Peace Commission, Which Will Be
Held Next Week.

PARIS, Oct, 27.-The Spanish peace
commissioners have accepted the nego-
tiative view of the United States COM
mIssioners toward the proposed assump-
tion by the United States of the Cuban
debt.
The American commissioners shave
firmly but courteously declined to as
sumo TOR the United States entire or
joint responsibility for Spanish financial
conditions, and the Spanish commits
sioners have finally abandoned the effort
and have agreed that the Cuban article
of the protocol shall, without conditions,
have place in the ultimate treaty of
peace. Thus Spain agrees to relinquish
sovereignty over any claim to Cuba
without either terms or conditions. All
differences, if any existed regarding
Porto Rico and the cession of the island
of Guam, were also arranged by mutual
understanding, and the commissioners
found themselves well nigh touching
the Philippine question, which will be
taken up next week. The session of
the joint commissioners, which began
today at p. m, ended at 4.

Washington, Oct. 27.-News of the
Spanish concessions at Paris was re-

in official circles develops the fact that
one concession as to Cuba our commits

and property shall be secure in Cuba.
This responsibility the United States
will assume only until such time as a
stable government shall be operative in

 The proprietor, being busy, did not recall the previous visit, and, after in- forming Jake that there was nothing for him yet, asked him to come again. This time Jake made q round trip of about half a mile. and again dropped in, offering his services as twice before.
