Bangor, Me, Sept. 3.-For two weeks
past the coast of Maine has been OBJ
secured by tremendous fog bank,
which has been an effective barrier TO

the various lumber ports Of the eastern
section of the State and the harbors of
refuge have been crowded with vessels
waiting for a chance to get to sea,
while on the other hand the fleet bound
east has been held up at various points
from Delaware BreakWutcr to Vineyard
Haven by thick and stormy weather.
There are now on the way to the
port Of Bangor alone 100 sail. % or 80
of them loaded, and carrying, among
other cargo, 1000 tons of coal in the
aggregate Some Of these vessels have
been out for three weeks. The first of
the fleet. the steamship Williamsport
ard the four-maStcd schooner William
e. Palmer. both coal-ladcn. arrived be
low. Friday night.
In Bangor and in all eastern ports
shipping has been further delayed by
the scarcity of sailors. and several
large vessels that have been ready for
sea over week have just sailed from

TALES OF CRUELTY
Told by Spaniards Who Escape
from the Fi|ipinos.
Natives Short Of Food and Depending
on Homemade Powder.
Gallant Work Of 9Th infantry at Capturs
Of Argo GuIa.

Manila, Sept. SO P. M-Many
| Spanish prisoners are escaping from
the Filipinos and bringing into the
American lines stories of hard treat
ment. They agree that the Filipinos
are exceedingly short of rations and
that large section of their troops is
reduced to the use of home made
black powder.
The natives are trying every scheme
to secure food and munitions from
Manila. Daily arrests are made for
attempts to smuggle contraband Of
war through the American lines. In
one case cascoe, with a cargo of
bamboo poles was overhauled and the
poles were found full of rice.
The insurgents have wholesome
respect for the British on account of
! several threats of British warshipS to
| lombard their towns unless the rights
of British subjects are respected. Two
British vessels, the Lacson and the
Nero, were driven by stress Of weather
into the harbor of Dagupan. the north
ern terminus of the Dagupan Railway.
| The crews were imprisoned but on
their protesting that they We're British
subjects the insurgent authorities per-
mitted one man to come TO Manila,
promising 10 release the crew if he
secured from the British consul at
Manila statement establishing the
nationality of the crew. A similar
concession was made to the crew Of
the Nero.
A force of native police has begun
to patrol the city of Manila, co-opera-
ting with the provost guard, whose
lack Of knowledge of the language and
the resorts Of native criminals had
given many opportunities for burglar
les. an industry which of late has been
ilourishing. The new force includes
many members of the old force and
some insurgents who had grown tired
Of fighting. 1t has already done good
work in running down native crimi-
nails.
The American secret service recently
found a Filipino spy in Calamba. He
is supposed 10 have been the man who
stole four guns. He offered desperate
resistance 10 the soldier who was sent
To capture him and tried TO run away
with two revolver shots in his head.
Finally he was brought down by "A rifle

A Crocer's
Experience
GRAPE
NUTS
A Grocer's Interest is TO Furnish Pure Food.
See Below.

People DO not always realize the per
sonal interest that first-class grocer
taxes III the articles OF food which he
furnishes customers.
Some people believe that the grocer
is influenced only 10y the profit he may
derive. and that his recommendations
| are governed entirely by a mercenary
motive. but this is not always true. On
the contrary. it is believed that ma
jority az the better class Of groccrs are
thoroughly honest in their desire to
furnish their patrons with really pure
ana nourishins food.
The following from Jno. Waligren.
a prominent grocer of Portland. Ore
ron. may be IF interest: Il am on my
tenth case Of Grape Nuts and my
trade is still increasing. | have been
bothered with a weak stomach for five
years. 7 have tried a number OF rem
edies and patent medicines without
help. | am eating Grape Nuts three
| times a day ana after using three
packages J must admit that I am re-
lieved Of my weak stomach and feel
like IA new man"
There is a reason for this. \ weak
stomach can take Grape Nuts and di-
gest them without difficulty. for
Grape Nuts are actually -digcsted
and ready for immediate transforma-
ton into rich blood and good strong
tissue, both Of muscle and brain.
They are generally admitted to be the
most scientifically made food in the
world, in which the starch of the
cereals is transformed into grape
sugar and this is done without the use
of any sort of drug or acid whatso-
ever. On the contrary. all of the
processes are purely mechanical. using
simply moisture, time lin which to
grow the diastase) and heat, but the
work Of the human system is copied
almost exactly, with the result that
the food is ready for Immediate as
sanitation.
The flavor is exquisite and delicate,
the sweet of grape sugar can be de-
tested. The food is absolutely free
from cane or beet sugar. but the fine.
almost microscopic. particles of grape
sugar can be seen glistening on the
surface of the small granules. Grape
Nuts with cream furnishes the most
delicious breakfast food in existence
and this food is in use now by prac-
tically all of the well-to-do families in
America. The demand has been so
great that the factory has been run
ming steadily both night and day for
upwards of a year. and the fame Of
the American breakfast dish has
spread to many of the other countries
of the world.
