The story OF the struggles of this little

body Of workers has been resorted to. and
slowly but surely the money needed has
been coaxed into the church treasury.

Rebels Are Discouraged.

WASHINGTON, April S.-The following
cablegram was received at the war de-
partment this morning:
'Manila, April Present indications
denote that the insurgent government is
in perilous condition. Its army has
been defeated, discouraged and scat
tered. The insurgents returning to
their homes in the cities and villages
between here and points north of Ma
lolos which our reconnoitering parties
have reached desire the protection of
the Americans. News from the Visays
islands is more encouraging every
day. OTIS"

Confidence in the Promises of the
Americans Becoming More Cen

MANILA, April $3.50 p. m.-The
natives continue returning to their
homes. They are coming in all along
the American lines, and many of them,
seeing the promises of good treatment
are fulfilled, are inducing their relatives
to return to their homes. General Otis
has received the following message:
"Manila, April 3.-Hearty congratuia-
tions on the most magnificent work of
the army. DEWEY"
The Philippine commission, the last
member of that body, Colonel Charles
Denby, former minister to China, hay
ing arrived here, will discuss the situa-
ton. The commissioners are hopeful of
a speedy restoration of peace, believing
hostilities soon will be confined to
hab.tual revolutionists.
Brigadier- General Harrison Gray Otis
sails for home on board the United
States transport Sherman today. He
says he believes the 1nsurrection has re-
ceived its death blow.
The Sherman will also have on board
the sons of Secretary John Hay, of the
state department. and Senator Hale of
Maine, who have witnessed much of the
fighting with the army, and the bodies
of Colonel Harry c. Egbert, of the
Twenty Second infantry, killed March
26, and other officers who have recently
fallen in battle.
General Wheaton has assumed COM
mand of the brigade lately command;
by General Otis. Tie Third and Twenty
Second regiments of General Wheaton e
command are returning to this city.

Rebels Not Located.

NEW YORK, April 3.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: Repeated
efforts to locate the Insurgent army in
front of Malolos have been unsuccessful.
and our forces are therefore still resting
in the former Filipino capital.
The attack OF the forces under Gen
eral Hall at Mariquina suggests that the
enemy is concentratingin in that direction.
Colonel Denby's arrival makes the early
issue of the proclamation of the Philip
pine commission probable.

Our Offer of $4,000, 900 is Not to Stand
Indefinitely.

WASHINGTON. April 2.-It was reiter-
ated tonight by two members of the cab
met that no consideration will be paid
to any proposition for money for the
Cuban army outside the $3,000,000 fund
now awaiting their acceptance, and, fur
thermore, it is limited that if too much
trouble and deliberate delay occurs, pre-
liminary to that amount being turned
over to the Cubans, the $4,000 600 may
be withdrawn and no payment of any
sort made by this government on account
of Cuban troops. No proposition for an
additional sum will be considered, in
any form.

THE OLD WAY
Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion
by Dieting a Dangerous and
Useless One.
any form.

We say the old way, but really it is a
very common one at the present time
and many dyepeptics and physicians as
well, consider the first step to take in
attempting to cure indigestion is to diet,
either by selecting certain foods and re-
jecting others or to greatly diminish the
quantity usually taken, i'll other words,
the starvation plan is by many supposed
to be the first essential.
The almost certain failure of the star
vation cure for dyspepsia has been
proven time and again. but still the
moment dyspepsia makes its appearance
a course of dieting is at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is fool
ish and unscientific to recommend diet
ing or starvation to man suffering from
dyspepsia, because indigestion itself
starves every organ and every nerve and
every fibre in the body.
What the dyspeptic wants is abun
dant nutrition, which means plenty of
good, wholesome, well cooked food and
something to assist the weak stomach
to digest it. This is exactly the purpose
for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
adapted and this is the method by which
they cure the worst cases of dyspepsia,
in other words the patients eats plenty
of wholesome food and Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets digest it for him. In this
way the system is nourished and the
overworked stomach rested, becuase the
tablets will digest the food whether the
stomach works or not. One of these
tablets will digest 5000 grains of meat
or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest
and safest remedy for stomach troubles
and every trial makes one more friend
for this excellent preparation. Sold at
Scots, for full sized package at all drug
stores.
