WHY Women Are Nervous.
British Medical News.)

The frequent cases of nervous pros
tration or utter collapse Of the nervous
system under which women go all to
pieces" as the saying is, have caused
much thought and investigation on the
part OF physicians.
Certain inorganic substances are we'll
known to cause various forms Of nerv-
Gus diseases which are readily traced
to the poisons producing them. Furth-
er research leads to the belief that
alum is prevailing cause Of so-called
nervous prostration, for the symptoms
it produces on the nervous system after
its absorption into the blood are very
remarkable indeed. Experiments
physiologically made upon animals by
Orfila, Professors Hans Mayer, Paul
Seim, and others, show that alum fire.
quently produces no visible symptoms
for many days after its Introduction
into the body. Then follow loss OF ap-
petite and other alimentary disturb
CT the whole nervous system. The most
prominent physicians now believe that
nervous prostratiCn" and many affec-
tons of the nerves from which both
men and women suffer are caused by
the continued absorption of alum into
the system.
1t is probable that many medical
men are unaware Of the extent to which
salts of alumina may introduced into
the body, being under the impression
that the use of alum in bread is pro-
hibited. Alum, however, is still used
surreptitiously to some extent to whiten
bread and very largely in making cheap
kinds of baking powder. In families
where baking powder is generally used
great care should be exercised to pro-
cure only those brands made from
cream of tartar. The alum powders
may generally be distinguished by the
lower price at which they are sold.

Washington, March 31-The dole
gates from the Cuban Assembly,
Messrs. Villalon and Hevia, called in
formally at the State Department to-
day and had a long conversation with

Assembly. Secretary Hay assured the
delegates that the United States gov

toned the call to President Mckinley
and the President informed him that
there would be no other or further an

SPANIARDS LEAVING,

Fear OF Murderous Cubans Causes Them to
Go,to Spain
Havana, March 31.-The steamer
Montzerratt sailed this morning fer
Spain, having on board $50 Spanish
passengers, formerly residents OF Cuba
and mostly small merchants. This ex-
odus is noticeable because of the num-
Der.
There have only been three anthem
tic murders of Spaniards in the coun-
try. If it is known who the murder
ers are, the fact has not developed,
though there are men in Havana who
say there is evidence pointing to Gu
ban soldiers being the guilty parties,
and that since Gen. Gomez was depos-
ed from the post of communicative chief
OF the Cuban forces the Cubans have
not had head to rigidly enforce dis
cipline and punish crime. In the past
Gen. Gomez punished murderers of this
kind with death, but since his removal
the Cubans have been taking advantage
of the lack of discipline to retaliate
upon their war enemies who are still in
the island.

LAST RESORT.
Edward Wiss Awaiting Death for
Murder says no is Innocent and
gives the name Of the Alleged Muir
derer.

New York, March 31.-Ndward Wise,
who is awaiting sentence of death for
the murder of Charles e. Beasley in
this city last November, has almost at
the last moment declared that another
man committed the murder. The po-
lice are looking for this man. They
refuse to divulge his name. Wise was
to be sentenced this afternoon. Wise
declared that he was willing to suffer
Imprisonment fer the sake of COM
panion, but now that death confronts
him he will shield him no longer. He
made q long statement to the district
attorney. The police apparently place
some reliance in Wise's story. He is
81 years old and comes OF excellent
parentage in Boston. He is well edu-
Gated and an athlete. He and several
companions came from Boston to wit
ness a fight at the LenoX A. c. He
lost his money and became stranded.
He says he fell in with bad company.
Beasley was saIdbagged On Thirty
eighth street. Wise was caught run
ming away. He made no denial Of hav-
ing struck Beasley. Wise has since ad-
mitted that he was present at the
sandbagging but claims that another
man, hitherto unmentioned, did the
sandbagging. When on trial Wise put
in no defence. He said he thought he
would only be found guilty Of man
slaughter. His mother is said to be
responsible for the convicted mans
divulging the name of the alleged sand
Dagger.
Wise was sentenced to die in the
week beginning May %. The police
have so far been unable to verify his
statement.

WASHINGTON, September 3.-There
is good authority for the statement that
the President has returned to Washing
ton with these general ideas uppermost
i'm his mind as To his future course IN
relation to new dependencies;
The Philippine Civil government by
three commissioners to supplant the
military rule Immediately after the re-
bollion is crushed.
Cuba-Continued military control un-
iii il is determined by means of general
elections whether the inhabitants want
independence or annexation. If elected
pendenCe the new government elected
will be recognized by the United States
and will be given announcement ana
every opportunity to establish its sta
bility. If annexation, the President
will be governed by the sentiment of
the American citizens as it may then
exist.
Porto Rico-Civll government of ter
ritorial form, similar to that which pre-
walls in Arizona.
Hawaii-Territoria form of govern
ment as recommended by the Hawaiian
commission and as provided for IN a
measure now pending in Congress.
To this extent the President has came
| out squarely and thrown down the
| gauntlet to anti-eXpansionists Mr.. Nc
| Kinley not only favors this permanent
| control, but is prepared with all forces
al his command to fight for it. But TO
avoid the charge of militarism-and
that is his reason of making the recon-
mendation-he proposes outlining the
plan to Congress for substituting a civil
| form of government for the military,
| the moment peace is obtained and COM
pete supremacy of the United States
established.
Professor Schurman. President of the
1 Peace Commission, is understood to
favor this kind of control and a hstor-
| ical review recently prepared for the
| President showing that the United
States has frequently adopted this
method of control of new territory in a
transtory state has deeply impressed
! the members of the administration
/ A plan under consideration cOntemp-
! lates three commissioners one an army
| officer to have charge of fiscal affairs,
another, a naval officer to have control
of customs and a third, leading Fill
Pine of legal experience to look after the
judiciary, all three to be appointed by
! the President and confirmed by the
Senate. Further details contemplate
giving the Filipinos a voice in all mu-
nicipal affairs and the most liberal self
government possible
