Georgetown, o., May 4.-Frederick Kautz
of this city has received a letter from Ad-
miral Kautz, his brother, in which he re-
coznts some of his recent experiences al

''The English and American consuls had
to make a compromise and accept a pro-

Mataafa and thirteen chiefs in charge"
Admiral Kautz then adds: when | came
I said to the American and English con-
suls: You did this because you were too
weak to do anything else. Now that we
are stronger, let us undo the wrong and
we did"
"I had no idea of doing anything but
holding an investigation on what had been
done here since jan J. but the German
consri s--eral was arrogant and unrea-

thing or suffer disgrace, even In my own
estimation.
"I therefore concluded TO do what ought
to be done, and refer the matter to the
government later on"

for a pardon for Henry Hendricks. who

death because of his mad infatuation for
another woman. Hendrlcks,s who is sixty
years old. bas served twenty-five years Of
his sentence.
The Governor denied the application. He
said that to impose life sentence upon a
man of Hendricks calbre was a rnIscar-
riage of justice. After shooting his wife
according to the evidence adduced al the
hearing, Hendricks shot himself twice in
the leg to advance the theory that the muir
der had been the result of an attack by
burglars. He bungled at his work. how
ever and badly burned his thumb
on the trial the jury stood II to / for
conviction for murder in the first degree
but the other man remaining firm IN his
position, a compromise was effected
whereby Hendricks received life sem
tence. From the remarks made bv tbe
Governor, wife-murderers. wife-bea ters
and those who cruelty treat children ana
dumb animals viii receive no mercy at his
hands upon applications for pardons or
Communication of sentences.
The Governor is a strong advocate of
the establishment Of a whipping post for
such as these, and says If such a bin Il
introduced In the legislature next year. he
will sign 1t.

QUARREL OVER CARTER CASE.

The Former Holds the Latter Has
Nothing TO DO with the Case and
That the President should Either
Approve or DisnpprOve It-Both
Sides to Submit Arguments-Inhu-
ence of Capt. Cnrter's Friends Has
Strong Bearing.
Washington. May Especial )-There is
another chapter contemplated in the Car
Ter court martial case, which may result
in clash between the authorities at the
war department and the attorney general
of the United States.
Up to date nothing has been done in the
way of approval or disapprovai Of the
findings of the court martial, and like Ma
hOmet's coffin, il so stih suspended in mid
air. Now however, 1t is proposed to have
an oral argument before the attorney gem
eral ON the merits of the courts decision,
and this course is being urged by the
friends of Carter.
on the other hand. the authorities at
the war department hold that the findings
of the court should either be approved or
set aside, but that the department Of JUS
uce has nothing whatever to do with the
case.
Meanwhile the attorneys on both sides
are to be invited to prepare condensed
statements of their respective impression
as to what should be done in this mat
ter. Already the counsel for the prosecu-
tion are at work on their story in the war
department building, and when they have
completed their labors, the counsel for the
defense will be invited TO do the same as
the prosecution.
The strongest kind of influence Is being
brought TO bear in the interest of Carter,
and his friends, who are legion say he
shall never carry out the sentence of the
court martial by going to prison. In a
roundabout manner, they attack everyone
who makes any criticism of Carter, and In
one instance when a correspondent for
leading newspapers Of this country ven
tured TO express an opinion too freely to
suit Carriers S friends, the editor of the
paper was threatened with a Abel suit un-
less he called off the dogs of war This
was agreed 10, and no further pubnca atlon
has been permitted which could In any
way jeopardize Carter's chances for be-
ing set at liberty.

Washington, Feb. g The ea6i- net at it's meeting yesterday discuss. ed the message received from Gen Otis at Manila and reached the con clusion that the situation generally in the Philippines was considerably improved. From otker sources it is learned that she insurgentleaders have admitted that when the Unit ed States forces arc reinforced by the troops now nearing Manila their chances of success will be greatly reduced. This gives the admiais- tration much encouragement and it is generally believed that the com pIete subiugation of the insurgents is a matter of a comparatively short time.

DURING THE REGENT COLD SPELL IN NEW YORK'S
 MORGUE
ITO BODIES ACCUMULATE.
And It Was Not Until Monday That the Remains Could be
 Buried.

New York, Feb. 9 Packed away, each In a refrigerator cell amid tons of ice, there were in the morgue until yesterday ITO bodies of the city's unknown and homeless dead, the largest number ever gath cred there since the great morgue was built. The cause oi this was that the city burying ground on Hart's island was hemmed in by ice and could not be approached by steamers of the charity department.
 The city supports on Hart's island Q colony of forty men, whose duty it is to dig the graves Tn the potters' field. These men for tea days have been without occupation. The tug Fidelity and the side wheeler Thom- as s. Brennan, of the charity de- partment fleet, both tired to break through the ice which surrounds Hart's island, but failed. On Sun day the big steam lighter Columbia was fixed up for a rush through the ice. One hundred and sixty-one bodies were loaded on her, and sht steamed up to Hart's island. h spite of all the captain could d9, he was not able to force . passage.
 The Co,umba tried it again Mon Kday, however, and reached Harte island, after hard battle with the l ice.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
 INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For ths
 Cause.

Heart troubles. at least among the Americans, are certainly increasing and while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of Ameri-- can business life, 1t Is more often the result of weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
 but not one case Tn & hundred of heart trouble is organic.
 The close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion is be- cause both organs are controlled by the same great nerves. tie Sympa- thetic and Pneumogastric.
 In another way, also the heart is effected by the, form of poor diges- tion. which causes gas and fermenta- ton from half digested food. There is feeling of oppression land heavi- uess in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, interfering Ewith their actieIt; hence arises palpitation and short breath.
 Poor digestion also poisons the blood. makinA. 1t thin and watery, which initiates and weakens the heart.
 The most sensible treatment Tor heart trouble is to improve the di- gestion and to insure the prompt assimilation of food.
 Tlis can be done by tho regular use after meals nfsomesa pleasant and effective digestive preparation, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores and which contain valuable. harmless digestive clements In a pleasant, convenient form.
 1t is safe to say that the regular persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stomach trouble except can- cer of the stomach.
 Full sized package of these tablets sold by druggists at 90 cents. Little book on stomach troubles mailed free. Address +. A. StuartCo,, Mar shall, Mich.
