The Hague, May 2s.-Andrew D. White, the United States ambassador to Germany and chief member of the American delegation to the interna- tional peace conference, announced yesterday that he would bring forward the United States arbitration proposal next week. The details of the proposi- tion were not completed in time for yesterdays sitting. The principle of arbitration being admitted, the dis cussion yesterday turned upon the question of the permanence of the ar bitration tribunal. to which careful canvas shows a majority of the com mittee are favorable.
 Dreyfus to Be Brought Back.
 Paris, May 2S.-It was rumored that the president of the civil section of the court of cessation, NJ. Ballot de Beau pre-, has reported to the president of the court of cessation, NJ. Mazeau, in favor of revision of the Dreyfus trial and sending the prisoner again before a court-martial This, later in the day, was confirmed by direct state ment that the president of the civil section had so reported to the presi dent of the court of cessation. It is believed the report is practically cer- tain to be accepted by the court of cessation and means that Dreyfus will be brought back to France and retired.
 Twenty Millions Starving.
 London, May 2S.-The latest advices from Moscow are to the effect that the starving peasants in Russia number 20. 1000, 900. No possible estimate of the number of deaths can be made, but it is very large. Most of the sufferers who are assisted get two-weelxs' al- lowance every month, which barely enables them to survive.
 The Funeral of Senor Castelar,.
 Madrid, May 2s.-President McKin- ley has telegraphed to Bellamy Storer, United States minister at Madrid, to represent him at the funeral of Senor Castelar. The body arrived here at five o'clock this morning. There were great demonstrations at the stations along the route from Murcia to this city.

Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made, and that to, by lady in this
country. "Disease fastened it's
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its scverest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily, and
could not sleep. Shetinally discovered
way to recovery, by purchasing OF
us bottle of DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption, and was so
relieved on taking first dose, that she
slept all night: and with two bottles
has been absolutely cured. Her name
