now. We had almost as good news
two years ago-but not quite. And
the present great good fortune comes
just at the season when towel de-
mands are always heaviest.
Just this merest hint of the prices

gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
py constantly failing to cure with local
treatment. pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a constir

WHSHINGE0N LEFEER,
from our snecial corrasnondent.

from our special correspondents.
President Mckinley will issue no
call for volunteers for the Philippines
for sometime, if at all. Owing to the
rainy season, no extensive military
operations will be conducted in the
Philippines before fall. Gen. Otis has
reported that 10000 men are all that
he will need, and regulars will be sent
to him in sufficient numbers to keep
his army at about that number and
still allow all of the volunteers who
wish to do so, to return home and be
mustered out. Gen. Otis has also been
authorized to enlist as many natives
as be cares to. Adjutant Gen. Corbin
saws that all the volunteers will be on
their way home in the course of five or
six weeks.
The speeches made when the new
Spanish minister was presented to
President Mckinley were out OF the
ordinary, in the matter of plain Ian
guape, The minister said: Il have
come to renew the relations OF friend
ship, which have existed from OF old
between Spain and the U. s., and
which were interrupted by the war of
last year. The treaty of Peace which
Spain has signed put an end to that
war, and now, looking only to the fut-
ure. Spain desires that her relations
with this republic may be as friendly
as they were in times past, and from
the days in which this country was
struggling to gain its independence"
President Mckinley said in reply:
"You will find, Mr.. Minister, a cor
dial welcome in this country, not only
from those whose friendship yon ac-
quiled during your former residence,
but from all our people, who rejoice as
do at the renewal of the ancient
bonds of amity which, With a brief
interruption, have united our nations
for more than one hundred years.
That these friendly relations may be
confirmed and strengthened, to the ad-
vantage of both people, is my earnest
wish, and can assure you that every
member of this government will heart
lily cooperate with you to that desirable
end"

There is naturally much gossip in
official and diplomatic circles about the
official announcement that Germany
has purchased from Spain ITS rem lin
ing island possessions in the Pacific,
paying S., 100000 therefor. A men,
ber of the Cabinet when asked whether
this government felt any concern about
the deal, replied: mo; why should it?
We have acquired everything we want
in that quarter" 1t is now recalled
with amusement that while the Paris
Peace Conference was going on, the
German newspapers, Known as governor
organs, fairly teemed with editorials
telling the u. S. to be just and liberal
to its fallen foe, and pointing out the
greatness of magnanimity in nation.
It was thought al the time that these
articles were printed because of the
sympathy of the German government
for Spain, instead of being inspired by
the selfish desire to keep the United
States from taking islands that Ger
many had already bargained to buy, if
they were not taken.
