Washington, Jan. S-The war depart
plent received another dispatch today
from Major General Otis, commanding the
United States troops in the Philippines.
The officials observe unusual reticence
with respect to its contents. but it is I'M
derStOOd that the information contained is
not of an unfavorable character, or such
as to give undue concern TO the admins
tration.
So far as the officials are willing to ad-
nit the dispatch shows no material
change in the conditions existing at the
time of previous adVices. One cabinet Off
Ger tonight said it contained nothing of
character alarming, serious or exciting
There has been no collision with the in
surgentS. he added. and not a. shot has
been fired. The dispatch, however. Is be-
lieved TO have been of sufficient import
ance to bring to the immediate attention
of the president. and the latter, Secretary
Alger, Secretary Long and Adlutant Cen
eral Corbin were in conference for some
time at the White House during the
afternoon, presumably on that matter.
The presidents proclamation 10 the
FilipinoS had been published in Manila
but General Otis did not say to what
extent it had been made known to the in
habitantS in the other parts of the group
of islands, nor whether it had been pub
lished at IlOilO. At the latter place Cen
eral Miller has been directed to land the
troops under his command now on the
transports there, but the dispatch from
General Otis did not indicate whether this
had been done or not.

Thrilling Tale of lEisadventures Told
By British Sailors.

New York, Jan. S.-Captain r. r. Shaw
and the crew of ten of the British bark
Glen Huntley, long given UP for lost. are
alive and well and on their way TO Liver
pool. They abandoned the Glen Huntley
in fierce gale on June 1, 1898. For ISL
days the eleven sailors lived on Tristan
d Acunha isle, more than 1900 miles
south by west of the Cape of Good Hope
They subsisted on penguin eggs and the
flesh OF sea eagles. and shared with the
seVenty-two white inhabitants the scanty
stock CT provisions that the captain of a
passing vessel could spare. After almost
four months Of such existence the British
Warship TN ush making an annual voy-
age OF inspection through the South
Atlantic, re.i uad the castaways, and late
in November last landed them in Simons'
Bay, South Africa. a letter has been re-
ceived in this city from Captain Shaw
by way of Cape Town, which tells his mis-
haps and adventures.
The Glen Huntley with a general cargo
sailed from New York for Freemantle,
Australia, on March 81 last. The voyage
was uneveutful until the early days Of
June. when the bark ran into a frightful
storm. which so buffeted her that on
June Captain Shaw and his crew had to
abandon her and take to their boats. For
several days they roWed and then landed
on Tristan d'Acunha.

Nervous Dyspepsia.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good
Digestion Mean.
MAKE A TEST OF STUART's DYs
PEPsIA TABLETS.

No trouble is more COMMON or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think their nerves are
to blame and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicines. The
real seat of the mischief is lost sight of.
The stomach is the organ to be looked
after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach SO much
as in nearly every organ. In some
cases the heart palpitates and is IT,
regular; in others the kidneys are af-
fected; in others the bowels are consti-
pated, with-headaches; still others are
