reason they strenuously advocate the
concentration and organize ton of the
troops on a war basis at the earliest
possible moment.

calling out of the national guard in
advance of actual hostilities. Their
services will not be asked until war

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies For Dyspepsia
and Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is
indigestion. or. in its chronic form. dys-
pepsia, and, for the very reason that 1t
is so common. many people neglect
taking proper treatment for what they
consider tritiing stomach trouble, when,
as matter of fact, indigestion lays the
foundation for many incurable diseases.
No person with vigorous, healthy
stomach will fall a victim TO cOnsump-
ton. Many kidney diseases and heart
troubles date their beginning from poor
digestion; thin. nervous people are real
" so because their stomachS are out OF
gear: weary, languid, faded out women
owe their condition to imperfect diSes-
tion.
When nearly every person you meet
is afflicted with weak digestion il is not
surprising that nearly every secret pa
tent medicine on the market claims TO
be a cure for dyspepsia. as we'll as a
score of other troubles, when. in fact,
as DIR. Werthier says. there is but one
genuine dyspepsia cure which is per-
fectly safe and reliable. and. moreover.
this remedy is not a patent medicine,
but il is a scientific combination of
pure pepsin (free from animal matter),
vegetable essences, fruit salts and bis
muth 1t is sold by druggists under
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
No extravagant claims are made for
them, but for Indigestion or any stom-
ach trouble. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are far ahead of any remedy yet dis
covered. They act on the food eaten,
no dieting is necessary, simply eat all
the wholesome food you want and these
tablets will digest it. A cure results,
because all the stomach needs is rest,
which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give
by doing the work of digestion.
Druggists sell these tablets at 80 cts.
per package. Little book on stomach

other basis which may be satisfactory
TO all parties involved. If war should
then come, whether holy or ''un-
holy he viii feel that the response
bility is on Spain.
The one significant sign of peace is
that diplomatic relations between the
United States and Spain have not been
to congress today. 1t is true that all
of our consuls have been called out of
: Cuba. and this would indicate a pre-
! liminary sign of war; but our minis
ter is still at Madrid and SPANS rep
resentative is still here.
It was supposed that when the presi-
dents message went to congress. Spain
would at once take umbrage and recall
Minister Polo. She has not done so,
nor has the president recalled Minister
Woodford. The two ministers are thus
at their posts of duty and in a position
to resume negotiations for a definite
settlement of the Cuban question, and.
pending differences between the two
countries involving the Maine disas-
ter. in the event that Spain should
succeed in getting the Cubans to con-
sent to the armistice which the queen
has proclaimed.
For the present the matter is left in
the hands of congress, so far as the
president is concerned. but if anything
! should come of the negotiations which
are known to be secretly under way
toward securing the independence of
Cuba on an indemnity basis, there is
no doubt that the president would
quickly open negotiations with Spain
while congress is celebrating over the
form of action it will take.
The administration is not particular
~ sanguine that the insurgents will
consent to SPANS last appeal for peace
The text of the armistice. which is now
in possession of the president, was
rather disappointing to the authorities
here. and if the full terms had been
known sooner, the addendum to the
presidents message intimating a desire
for delay might not have been in
serted.

LUDICRoUs APOLOGY.
Why Mckinley Concealed Plain Truth
In Diplomatic Language.

Washington, April IA senator
close to the president says that the
greatest criticism upon the message
of the president is that it did not say
anything about independence. He re-
fers to these words near the end of the
message:
And to secure in the island the es-
Establishment of stable government
capable of maintaining order and OBJ
serving its international obligations"
The senator added that a stable
government capable of observing its
international obligations must be indie
pendent. II il was not an independent
government it would have no interna-
lional obligations. The same senator in
sisted that this part of the message
meant independence, but the president
was writing document that meant
history and precedent, and he had TO
confine himself TO diplomatic Ian

rem of Wyoming had a talk with the
president during the forenoon. He said
he was inclined to doubt the inten-
lions of Spain, but in a matter of so
grave z character he favored delibera-
ton. When a nation goes to war. he
added, it should exercise the greatest
caution to place itself on such a solid
basis as to furnish the most satisfac-
tory grounds for consideration of the
powers outside the two participating
nations in the conflict.
Whether there would be a war in the
light OF the present situation, he did
not say, but if it was unavoidable, he
advocated waiting long enough, despite
denunciation and discomfort at delay,
to make up a complete case to satisfy
any doubling nation.

throughout the country is very salts
