"Disease fastened It's clutches upon her

WASHINGTON letter.

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT'
WASHINGTON. APRIL 18th. 1899.
The instructions to the American
Commission to the Cars dlsarma-
ment conference have been prepared by
the administration with the expectation
that the conference will produce prac-
teal results-probably not exactly
along the lines proposed by the Gear.
but still results that will be beneficial
to all the Nations which will be repre-
sented at the conference. The text OF
the instructions to our commissioners
has not been made public and is not
likely to be in advance of the confer
ence, which meets next month, but it is
known that they strongly emphasize the
position of this government in favor of
international arbitration; also, that they
favor a agreement for the further
amelioration of the horrors Of war along
the lines of those which have been Sc
cured by the Geneva Red Cross society
at various times.
The Military Court Of Inquiry is still
taking testimony, although it had hoped
To finish last week. Although some
prominent officers have been on the
stand, little that was either new or i'm
portant was brought out. Several acts
of the court have served to deepen the
impression of the unprejudiced public,
that the court is prejudced against
Gen. Miles, especially its fiat refusal to
summon six particular witnesses whose
names were furnished by Miles.
Representative Packer, Of Pa, who
has just returned from visit to Cuba,
said: "The impression got was that
our troops will have to stay down there
a long time. One of our leading Gen
erals talked the situation over with me,
fully and frankly. His idea is that
Congress made a fearful mistake in
adopting the Teller resolution that dis
claimed any intention on our point to
annex Cuba. The respectable and edu'
Gated element-mostly SPONTANEOUSLY
they will be glad to zee annexation

was not sure how far taese people could
be depended upon to make good their
talk. If an election were held at an
early day, they might vote contrary to
their declarations, about the desirabili-
ty of annexation. All the Americans
over there are of the opinion that Cuba
must, sooner or later be annexed to the
United Statas, but how soon, or under
what circumstances, they do not pre-
tend to predict"
The disposition at the German En-
bassy to consldder the Samoa question

ranged that commissioners representing
the United States, Great Britain, and
Germany shall sail from San Francisco

A GREAT TRUTH.

All organized living things, whether be-
longing to the animal or vegetable king
dom contain within themselves the germs
{ of death and decay.
\ Germs of disease are often generated
within the human system through imper-
feet digestion of food, producing various
poisons which scientists have denominated
biomaines. A stomach weakened by abuse,
gorged with over eating or over burdened
with hot bread, too rich or greasy foods or
those too highly seasoned becomes weak
ened and fails to thoroughly digest the
food. A heavy, sodden mass is accumu.
lated In the stomach to ferment a. the first
step in its decay, giving of foul gases to
distend the stomach, and poison the blooa,
until it becomes thin, weak and lacking IN
the red corpuscles so necessary to perfect
health.
The over distended stomach presses upon
the heart and the latter organ is also dis
turbed through sympathy, the same system
of nerves being distributed to both organs.
Thus palpitation and irregular action of the
heart with it's attendant shortness Of breath
result, and in time. disease OF the heart
itself 10 established.
The gases and other poisons generated
from undigested, fermenting and decay
ing food In the stomach becloud the
brain, causing headaches, and pain in the
eyes.
Being absorbed into the blood these poi
sons reach every part and organ OF the sys-
tenn. The kidneys are thereby poisoned,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes Fill
tering through the skin, troublesome skin
diseases often show themselves.
Every organ and every nerve, depending
as they do for their nourishment and
renewal upon the stomach, weak digestion
shows itself not alone in loss of appetite
and flesh, but also in nervousness, debility,
bad complexion and many other derange-
ments.

iates the digestive juices invigorates the

Americans. American officers and men
were killed in ambush near Apia, and
the charge made that the ambush was
the result of German treachery. lin

Of the investigation is known. Ameri'

If there has been wrong dong, whether
by Americans, Germans or Englishmen,
it must be not only shown up, but pun

Secretary Alger, who has returned
from Tip to Cuba and Porto Rico, and
resumed his position at the head of the
War Department, doesn't talk like a
man who has any idea of resigning; in
fact, be very distinctly says that he has
no such idea. On the contrary, he talks
of the work in Cuba and Porto Rico as
though he expected to be connected
with it for a long time. He says the
greatest need of Cuba is education for
the masses; that there is comparatively
little distress now on the island, among
men, and that the condition of the in
digent widows and children is being
steadily improved, and he paid this
compliment to our boys in blue: VI new

The time is not far distant-lf, indeed,
it is not already at hand,-when the
people of Cuba and Porto Rico will rise
up and call US blessed. In the hasten
ing of that day, every American has a
common interest and pride"
Inspector General Breckenridge tells
some amusing stories Of what he saw
while on his tour of inspection in Cuba
and Porto Pico. One of them is in con.
nection with the wholesale vaccination
that is now being done in Porto Rico,
by United States Surgeons. Instead Of
running away from vaccination. as
many of our own citizens have been
known to do, Gen. Breckenridge says the
Porto Ricans run after the vaccinators,
believing that being vaccinated makes
them American citizens,
