What the FiIipinOs Will Ask.

New YORK, Al pril 18.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: In an
interview with General Lsgarda, he
eaid that a committee of twenty-five
Filipinos had been appointed to confer
with the peace commission for the fol-
lowing purposes:
First-To obtain as larye autonomous
rights for the Filipino people as possible.
Second-To bring about peaceful rela-
tions between the insurgents and the
Americans.
Third-That the Americans and Fill
pinos ehall occupy public offices.
Areyaleo, former aide to Aguinaldo,
is now in Manila. He said in an inter
view thatifthe Americans send to Aguin-
a'do-now he thinks peaceful solution
of the present troubles is probable. In
fuential Americans think that the COM
mission of rich Filipinos is eager to pro-
tect property, and has little influence
with the insurgents.

INTENSE SUFFERING
FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOMACH
TROUBLE
Instantly Relieved and Permanently
Cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
A New Discovery. But Not Patent
Medicine.

DR.. Redwell relates an interesting &C
count of what he considers remarkable
cure of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use of the new
discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: "The patient was a man
who had suffered to my knowledge, for
years with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create gases in
the stomach he had pains like rheuma-
tism in the back, shoulder blades and
limbs, fullness and distress after eating.
poor appetite and loss of flesh the heart
became affected, causing palpitation and
sleeplessness at night.
81 gave him powerful nerve tonics
and blood remedies, but to no purpose.
AS an experiment I finally bought a
fifty cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at a drug store and gave them to
him. Almost Immediately relief was
given and after he had used four boxes
he was to all appearance, fully cured.
"There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and II pounds in
weight of solid, healthy flesh.
although stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores
yet consider them most valuable ad-

New YORK, April 1S.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: Among
the serious problems confronting Cen
eral Otis at Manila none has caused
greater anxiety than the alarming effects
produced upon the American soldiers,
particularly the enlisted men, by a
seductive beverage which they procured
in native shops and which produced
such physical and mental demoraliza-
tion as to give rise to suspicion that
the army of occupation was being gsystem-
atically drugged or poisoned to render
1T helpless to resist an insurgent attack.
The native drink was generally known
as vino. 1t was exceedingly palatable
and inexpensive, but single drink of it

succeeding "a hours, while frequent
portions sent the soldiers to the hospital
for long period OF illness.
When the source of the trouble was
discovered, General Otis was disposed to
prohibit the traffic in vino altogether,
and to that end referred the matter to
General Hughes, provost marshal-gen-
eral of the city, with request for sug.
gestions looking to practical course Of
action. General Hughes investigated
the trouble, and his recommendations
have been followed.
As long as Manila was crowded with
troops the vino industry, unrestricted,
was exceedingly lucrative, but now thai
most of the Americans are in the field
practically all the shops where it has
been sold are closed.
