. The Drift Toward Annexation.

, The isolationist Springfield Repub-
lican remarks that Senator Morgan
not so long ago was fighting like a
tiger for the independence of Cuba
by the recognition of the United
States Government, yet now he says
that the Cubans are not capable of
self-government.n Moreover, the
Republican seems to be surprised at
this change of base on the part of the
Alabama Senator Yet if that paper
keeps close watch on matters in the
United States and Cuba it will find
that there is a steady change of senti-
ment in Morgan's direction in both
these localities.
If Congress were in session to-day
and vote were taken on the question
of the recognition of Cuban indepen-
dence the number of members who
would declare in favor of it would un-
doubtedly be found to be less than
half as many as were talking for
recognition twelve or fourteen months
ago.
Many things have been made clear
by the war which were more or less
obscure previously. The forces of the
insurgents were found by the Ameri-
cans to be less than half as great as
was supposed before the war began.
The civil government which the junta
in this country said was in operation,
and which, according to those per-
sons, levied taxation and exerted
authority throughout a large part Of
Cuba, was revealed to be virtually
non-existent when searched for after
American Intervention took place
The discoveries of the past twelve
months have proven that the insurg-
ents we're not the dominant element
Of the population. The separatist
faction, so far as recent developments
reveal, is steadily shrinking. The
Assembly, which was put up by the
insurgent army, is losing standing,
even among the persons who were re-
spOnsible for its creation. The
thoughtful members of the Cuban
population probably never, since the
rebellion ended, we're anxious for the
independence OF the island As time
passes the separatist sentiment will
grow feebler and feebler The recent
disturbances in Costa Rica and other
Spanish-American countries are cal
eulated to thin the ranks Of the separ-
atists.
The annexation of Cuba TO the
United States, by the free choice of a
majority Of the Cuban population, is
as certain as any political occurrence
Of the future can be.

Agent Vaille, at Manila. has forwarded
some OF tlss mail to Acting Postmaster
General Heath.
One letter is addressed to Aguinaldo's
so-caled secretary of the treasury, and
is in reply to a request for money.
The writer is apparently the fiscal
officer at Lucena Luzon to whom the
insurgents had entrusted the duty OF
squeezing the merchants, and he has
apparently conhscated for the insurgent
cause lot Of cocoa fiber belonging to
large tobacco company. When asked to
turn over the proceeds the agent re-
marks that only $500 had come into
his hands, and that amount he had paid
to the troops, who were clamorous for
more. The letter is written in very fair

The above letter is addressed to "Quir-

night two mine pumpmen, Charles
Rouss and Bert Frey, who were impris-
oned at Bon Air mine 13 days ago, were

pipe was not broken by the cave, and
by blowing a hole in it with dynamite

their friends, who kept them supplied
with food. while a new shaft over 600
feet deep was sunk. The cost Of res
cuing the men has been over $1,000.

ST. Petersburg, March 24.-The news
papers Of the city publish pitiable ac-
counts of the condition of the so-caled
famine districts of Russia, especially
Samara, in the eastern part OF European
Russia. The efforts of the Red Cross
society have STAYED off the horrors OF
actual starvation, but the society's
funds are almost exhausted. and the dire
distress, compelling the consumption Of
all kinds of garbage, has produced an
epidemic of terrible mortality. with
typhus, scurvy and other pestilential dis
eases. The peasants are compelled to
sell everything and are living in cold,
damp and filthy cabins.

Women Should Know II.

Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their disease is
not correctly understood. They have been
led to believe that womb trouble or female
weakness of some sort is responsible for the
many ills that beset womanlind.
Neuralgia, nervousness headache, puffy
or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism,
dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weak
ness or bearing down sensation, profuse or
scanty supply of urine with strong odor,
frequent desire to pass it with scalding or
burning sensation, sediment in it after stand
ing in bottle or common glass for twenty flour
hours, are signs of kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often attributed
by the patient herself or by her physician to
female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so
many fail to obtain relief, because they are
treating, not the disease itself, but reflection
of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well as men are made
miserable with kidney and bladder trouble
and both need the same remedy.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is the great dis
covery of the eminent kidney and bladder
specialist, and is easy to get at any drug store
for fifty cents or one dollar.
To prove its wonderful merits you may
have a sample bottle and book telling all
about it, both sent absolutely free by mail.
Kindly mention Shenandoah HERALD and
send your address to DIR. Kilmer & Co.,
