A Suspicious Incident.

MANILA, April 13-9 40 q. m.-Fran-
cisco Reyes, a man who recently pur-
chased Spanish gun boats at Zamboanga,
Island of Mindanao, has received ad-
vices to the effect that the fleet sailed
for Manila, and returned few days
later with the vessels stripped of their
guns and ammunition.
The purchasers agents and native
crews of the vessels on board the Ameri-
can steamer Butuan were conveyed to
Zamboanga by the United States cruiser
Boston, and instructed to await the
arrival there of the United States gun
boat Petrol. Instead of doing 30, after
the Boston sailed for Zamboanga, the
Spaniards transferred their gunboats to
the agents of Senior Reyes, and the feet
left Zamboanga unescorted. 1t soon re-
turned and reported having been
boarded by rebels, who, removed the
gunboat's armaments. If the instruc-
tions of the American naval commander
had been obeyed their capture would
have been impossible.
Zamboanga is fortified and still garri-
soned by Spaniards, and the affair is re-
garded as suspicious.

A Long Drawn.Out War.

New YORK, April 13.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says: 1t
is becoming evident to officials of the
administration that the insurrection in
the Philippines is likely to drag along
for considerable time. Dispatches re-
ceived from General Otis show that the
natives retreat when attacked by Amer
ican troops in force, and the continuance
of these tactics show that Aguinaldo has
determined not to give the Americans
an opportunity of crushing his army at
one blow, as is so greatly desired by the
administration.
1t was stated at the war department
that General Otis has not called for ad-
ditional troops, and insists that his
present force, reinforced by the six ad-
ditional regiments under orders to pro-
ceed to Manila, will be ample.
No action has yet been taken by the
war department. looking to the muster
ing out of the volunteers, and nothing
will be done until after the arrival of
the regulars. General Otis will then be
authorized to re-enlist such of the vol
unteers for six months as may desire to
serve for that length of time.

GERMANS NOT
TO BLAME
Opinion Based on Dispatch from
Consul's Report Interpreted
as Exonerating the German Resi-
dents from Blame.

NEW YORK, April ia dispatch to
the Herald from Berlin says: Up to a
late hour the lights burned in the foreign
office, where much agitation reigned dur
ing the afternoon, owing to the latest
news from Samoa.
The ambushing of the American and
English detachment by Mataafa's war
riors is taken here in the most serious
light. The dispatch which reached the
minister of state from Consul Rose is
taken as exonerating the Germans from
any hand in the matter, as was at first
feared might possibly be the case. This
removed the obstacles to Germany's at
once naming her commissioner, who, it
is said, will be the first secretary OF the
Germany embassy at Washington.
parsonage in position to speak au-
thoritatively says the reports in German
papers that the German government rut
in claim for damages are untrue. All
such questions as that are entirely mat
ters for the consideration OF the com
missioners.
Ali this Samoa trouble is a small but
wretched business, for which it seems
terrible pity that 400 900 marks worth of
German property has been damaged and
lives of American and English seamen
have been needlessiy sacrificed.
The foreign Office has received several
dispatches from the commander of the
cruiser Fake, in which he makes no
mention of any disagreeable discussion
with Rear-Admiral Kautz. The German
government takes this as sufficient proof
that all stories told On the subject must
therefore have been inventions of per-
sons interested in making trouble be-
tween Germany and the United States.

THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
and Stomach Troubles.
RidicuIe, However, is Not Argument,
aud Facts are stubborn Things,

Stomach troubles are so common and
in most cases, so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion on
any remedy claiming to be a radical,
permanent cure for dyspepsia and in
digestion. Many such pride Themselves
on their acuteness in never being hum
bugged, especially In medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far, SO far, in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak diges-
tion rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims
made of a preparation so reliable and
universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not secret
patent medicine, no secret is made of
their Ingredients, but analysis shows
them to contain the natural digestive
ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, the diges-
tive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, by
drastis and nux. They are not cathartic,

organ, but they cure indigestion on the
common sense plan of dIgesting the food
eaten thoroughly before it has time to
ferment, sour and cause the mischief.
This is the only secret oftheir success.
Cathartic pile never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach
trou bles because they act entirely on the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble is
really in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That is all there
is to it. Food not digested or half diges-
ted is poison as it creates gas. aciditY,
headaches, palpitation of the heart, loss
of flesh and appetite and many other
troubles which are often called by some
other name. They are sold by druggists
