THE CUBAN QUESTION.
This Government Will Deal Di-
rectly With the People.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-There
has been further telegraphic correspond
ence between General Brooke and the
War Department regarding conditions
in Cuba, with the result that hereafter
General Brooke will confine himself
wholly within the terms of the resolu-
ton adopted by Congress before the
War. No Government, organization or
set of men will be recognized. The
United States Government will deal di-
rectly with the people of Cuba.
1t is regarded as important that the
census which has been determined on
should be taken so as to ascertain the
resident citizens of the island. The
Cuban Assembly will be dealt with as
any other organization. If it's ses-
sions provoke riot and disturbances, it
will be dispersed like any other disor-
derly body If its meetings are harm
less and amount to nothing more than
the vociferation of men, no attention
will be paid to it. If it gets in the
way of the United States, in the pre-
the island, it must, in the language of
the American police, move on"
CONDITION. OF CUBA VERY BAD.
JACKSONVILLE (Fla.), March IT,
William Willard Howard, General Man
ager of the Cuban Industrial Relief
Fund of New York, passed through
Jacksonville, on his way north to pur-
chase agricultural implements and
seeds for the use of the industrial re-
lief station, which has just been estab-
lished at Guines, Cuba. He reports the
condition of Cuba really worse than it
was at this time last year, when he
made his first investigator
''The fields are vacant and the farm
ers idle he said 1.-The people still
remain in the towns and cities, and
where army rations are issued to them.
Our Government had done nothing to
enable the farmers to resume the cul-
tiyation of their lands. The condition
of Cubans is reproach to the Amer
lean people and a blot upon civilization.
We are going to do something to i'm
prove that condition, and We invite all
lovers of humanity in the United States
to help US for the good name of the
American flag. Money for orphans or
for industrial work should be sent to

which she was under, along with China
and other Eastern countries before her
advance to modern methods. The en-
tire extra territorial system is swept
away by the new treaties. This gave
to foreign Powers, including the Unit
ed States, the right to try civil cases
relating to their own citizens in Consul
lar Courts instead Of in the Japanese
courts Hereafter these foreign courts
will be abolished, and Japanese courts
will try all cases alike. Another feat
ure is in opening up the entire interior
of Japan to the capital and enterprise
of foreion merchants.

UNITED STATES AND JAPAN.
Extensive Changes in Their Re1a-

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Exten-
sive changes in the relations between
the United States and Japan will be
begun about July 18th next, when the
new treaty between the two nations
goes into effect. 1t was negotiated
some weeks ago, but its actual opera
ton was deferred so as to give time
for adjusting affairs to the changed
conditions.
Similar treaties have been made by
Japan with most of the other first-class
Powers. The essential feature is to
give Japan a status as a modern nation,
instead of imposing the restriction

Dig down to the cause of your sickness, il
you want to get well and stay well. Most
likely it's indigestion. The irritating poisons
OF fermenting putrid food, left in the stomach
by indigestion, cause headache, neuralgia,
nervousness, dizziness, stomachache, nausea,
irritability, and all the other well-known
symptoms of indigestion. They also cause
many pains and disorders which are often
laid to other causes and hence are not easily
cured. But as soon as the poisons ase re-
moved, all these symptoms and disorders
disappear, because there is nothing left to
cause them. Nothing succeeds in this like
Shaker Digestive Cordial, because it prevents
the undigested food from fermenting in the
stomach and helps the stomach to digest its
food. Sold by druggist, price 10 cents to
s1.00 per bottle.

MAY NOT STRIKE.
General Superintendent Wells, of the

Be Adjusted.

Albuquerque, N. M, May MAY
was the day set for the strike of the
engineers on the Santa Fe Pacific if the
demands of the men were not conceded.
1t is certain, however, that while the
question has not been settled, no hasty
action will be taken. Many think the
employees are bluffing, but this is highly
improbable.
Joint Agent W. B. Trull of Albuquer-
que and Chief Clerk P. H. Mccain
handed in their designations yesterday.
The officials have become unpopular in
some quarters. and though they are
conceded to be first class men their
heads were sacrificed.
geles, and several conferences with the
general officers of the road have been.
held. The employees assert that in the
event of a strike they will be joined
by all the railroad men and nearly all
the shopmen on the line.
A paper binding the men to a SYM
pathetic strike has been circulated in
the Albuquerque shops, and, while it
has received many signatures, a large
number of the men refuse to bind them
selves.
General superintendent Wells declares
that all matters at issue between the
men and the company can be amicably
adjusted, but it is not thought that the
company will consent to bringing the
wages back to the old standard, which
enabled engineers to earn as high as
$3.50 and firemen SITS a month,
