American Wheat In Demand, Not
withstanding An Extra Duty.

American Wheat In Demand, Not
withstanding An Extra Duty.
Washington, Feb. 16.-The lack of
commercial treaty with Spain the for
mer treaty having been terminated by
the war, is not altogether preventing
trade between the two countries, al
though American products are handi-
capped by an additional 20 per cent
duty in Spanish ports. owing to the
lack of a treaty. Still, even under these
conditions United States Consular
Agent Mertons at Valencia reports to
the state department that there is
good demand for American wheat. A
cargo of 1000 tons of red winter wheat
which had just arrived there proved
entirely satisfactory and importers
were willing to receive more. The con-
sular agent says:
The price seems to compare favor
ably with that of Russian wheat, al
though American wheat pays 20 per
cent higher duties than grain for coun-
tries which have a commercial treaty
with Spain. This is the first direct
shipment from the United States to this
port since the war"
The consular agent above quoted re-
manned at his post throughout the en-
tire war and even continued in the
discharge of his official functions as far
as possible without molestation.

ULTIMATUM FROM ENGLAND.
Sultan of Oman Too Friendly to the
French.

Bombay, Feb. 16.-The Persian gulf
steamer which has just arrived here
brings news that an ultimatum was
presented to the sultan of Oman on
Saturday by the British, owing TO his
having leased to France eoaling sta
ton on the coast of Oman, which is a
semi-independent state in southeast
Arabia. Oman is considered to be I'M
der British protection. as the sultan has
been receiving a subsidy from Great
Britain.
London, Feb. 16.-In the house of
commons today, replying to a question
on the subject, the Right Hon. St.
John Broderick. under secretary Of
state for foreign affairs, said that so
far as the government knew, the sultan
of Oman had not coded, nor was ne
about to cede to France, a coaling sta
ton or harbor on the coast Of Oman.
Inquiry made in official circles here
shows that the under secretary of state
for foreign affairs appears to have been
juggling with words. AS a matter of
France to establish a coaling station
on his coast a month ago. although
perhaps there has been no lease or ces-
sion of territory. The officials here
also say the word "ultimatum' in the
dispatch from Bombay today referring
to Oman is too strong" 1t is under
stood that the British mote" informed
the sultan that eff he favored other ma
tons, the British subsidy of $4,000
(S40,000) would be stopped

Do You Suffer From Piles2

If you only knew what thousands of
people have learned you would suffer
no longer. Surgery has been the only
radical help for hemorrhoids (protrud-
ing piles), and that often fails. The dis
covery that the common buckeye is a
specific for these troubles makes it easy
to do what operations have frequently
failed to do. Tabler's Buckeye Pile
Ointment positively cures every form
of piles-blind, bleeding, itching and
protrudng The remedy that has cured
thousands will not fail in your case.
