Mr.. Smith addressed the Council on
behalf of the new company. He stated
in substance: That Messrs. Gehr and
Browne represented responsible people
abroad; that they had come TO the
Islands to secure franchise to con-
struct this road, not knowing that any
one else was interested therein.
He claimed that the fact that fran
chise had, already been granted to an
other company which had begun work
and incurred expenditures should have
no influence with the Government;
that the franchise granted to the Hilo
Railroad Company was not exclusive
and 1t was nothing to the Government

companies could run proftably: that

A motion TO this effect was offered al the
meeting yesterday by Deputy Carlos Par
raga. but action on the matter was post
poned until Saturday. A canvass of the
meeting disclosed the fact that two thirds
of the deputies were in favor of the i'm
mediate disbandment OF the army and the
dissolution of the Assembly.
Gen. Rafael Portuondo, president of the
body. said in an interview that he had
little doubt the motion would be passed
He deplored the expected action of the
majority. and said il would simply make
the Assembly the laughingstock of the
United States He said that no PROPOSE
ton TO this effect had been made to them
by General Brooke, and, so far as he could
judge, il was a spontaneous action on the
part of the movers If the motion was car
ried the consequences would be fatal to the
country. The Assembly he said, was the
only body in touch with the Cuban army.

order to disband was issued, no one could

A HUNDRED REASONS

Can be given why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best and most effectual
cure for every form of Indigestion.
They are in the tablet form which re-
tains their good qualities indefinitely, while
liquid preparations become stale and USE
less with age.
They are convenient, can be carried in
the pocket and taken when needed They
are pleasant TO take.
After each meal dissolve one or two of
them in the mouth and, mingling with the
food, they constitute q perfect digestive,
absolutely safe for the most sensitive
stomach.
They digest the food before it has time
TO ferment, thus preventing the formation
OF gas and keeping the blood pure and free
from the poisonous products of fermented,
half digested food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the only
remedy designed especially for the cure Of
stomach troubles and nothing else.
One disease, one remedy; the successful
physician of today is the specialist, the sue
cessful medicine is the medicine prepared
especially for one disease.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the
complexion clear by keeping the blood pure.
They increase flesh by digesting flesh
forming foods
A whole package taken at one time would
not hurt one, but would simply be waste
of good material.
Over six thousand men and women in
the State of Michigan alone, have been
cured OF indigestion and dyspepsia by the
use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Sold by all druggists at so cents per
package.

An Evidence of Prosperity.

1t is generally conceded by economists,
who study the commercial situation of the
country, that the great arteries of railway
travel are a sure indication of its condi-
tion. depression in commercial lines
means abandoned business trips and the
cancellation of pleasure travel, while a
healthy condition of affairs means business
trips and an increase of passengers on
pleasure bent.
good evidence that business revival
has gone broadcast over this country is tn

With view to taking the best po sible

STORY OF AN APPROPRIATION
Efforts to Get IN Bill Through Com
Eress for a Poor Woman.

| Baltimore, March 22.-Bishop Paret tells
an interesting story of the only bill in
Congress he ever took an active part in
passing. Living in Washington, the Bish-
op, then rector of Epiphany parish. found
it necessary TO decline signing petitions
| for office or making any requests OF public
| men for patronage for anyone.
Senator George f. Edmunds, who was a
member of his congregation, asked him
one day whether he never wanted any
thing done for him, and at the same time
| Offering his services. DR.. Paret replied
that he wanted nothing. and then, after a
| moments thought, told the Senator that
there was an act of justice which he might
perform. very poor and aged widow
or Epiphany parish had Just aim
against the Government which ought 10 be
paid. Her husband had been a Iaborer in
the War Department when Jefferson Davis
was Secretary. The man was a good pen
man, and Mr.. Davis employed him in some
clerical work for the Government explain
ing to him that there was no money to pay
him, but that he would procure an appro-
priation- He got the bill making the ap-
preparation through the Senate. but be-
fore ii could get through the House the
war came on, and Mr.. Davis left 1t had
several times been presented since the var
but could never pass but one house at a
session.
Mr. Edmunds became interested in the
matter, and asked for proofs. and got the
| documents which satisfied him OF the JUS
tice OF the claim. which amounted to $6i0
| He introduced a BILL which passed the
Senate, but failed in the House The next
session he got ii through the Senate again
and asked DR.. Paret if he did not know of
some Democrat who could get il through
the House. He said he did and spoke of
Mr.. Fernando Wood. That gent eman
promised that il should pass at ali haz ards
But he was taken i'll and died and the bill
again failed in the House. Senator Ed
munds then declared that the bill should
pass both houses II it consumed all his
time and he had to abandon everything
else, and sure enough il passed and the
poor woman got her money
In the meantime DR.. Paret had been

Miss Horr was getting the better Of the

THE HAVANA POLICE.
Organizer NcCuIIagh Sees n Bright
Future for the Force.


New York March 22.-Former Chief
John McCullagh, founder and instructor
of the present police force of Havana. be-
lieves in its ultimate success and efficiency.
In spite of the fact that policemen are rath-
er unpopular In Havana just now, Mr.. Nc
| Cullagh believes that the force will come
out all right. and will in time be able to
hold its head under its Panama har as high
as any policeman in the Western Hemis-
phere.
"A police force that can command re-
spect there is a novelty" he said last
night The Orden Publicos of the Span
ish municipal government were never TAX
en- very seriously by anyone. l tried to I'M
press upon the members of the new force.
officers and men alike the necessity of
maintaining their dignity and securing the
respect OF the citizens. While, of course,
l do not know all the details of the police
riots that have taken place in Havana
during the last few days, | believe that ii
was just this firm determination 10 do their
duty and carry out their orders without
fear or favor-in other words to be good
policemen-that has made them unpopular.
| am glad to see that when they were at
tackled they stood their ground and drove
off their asSailants.
i am sure that all the more intelligent
part of Havanas population sympathize
with and support the police. Their enc
mics. the men who start the riots belong
to the lower and more ignorant class !
haven't any doubt that all this excitement
will subside in time. Havana will be-
come used to having first-class police, and
will become proud of them. All the Ha-
vana police force needs is able. firm in
pectors. and captains to make il effec-
tive and successful.
The force was selected from the entire
island There are a good many men on
that force over six feet tall When you
remember the diminutive stature of the
average Cuban you can realize how hard
ii was to find them. Cubans and Spaniards
are naturally polite. 1t is easier to teach
Havana policeman to be courteous and
obliging to people who ask him for direc-
tion on the street than a member of the
New York force. On the other hand they
take offence easily, and are sometimes re-
bellious and disobedient, but | know by
experience that they can be governed by
that happy combination of tact and frm-
ness that makes the successful police Off
Ger everywhere.
After all, these so-called riots are only
incidents and logical results of conditions
that will soon be forgotten. The police of
Havana have much to learn, but they have
gone at 1t the right way and they will

PASSING OF THE CABLE.
Abandoning the Use of the Steel
Rope at baltimore.

Baltimore, March 22.-Arrangements are
being made to abandon the use of the ca
BILE on the Red and White lines of the City
Passenger Railway. These are the last
lines on which cable is used for traction
purposes. Since the amalgamation of the
different companies into the United Rail-
ways and Electric Company there is am
pie power available TO operate these lines
by electricity, and the delay at present
in making the change is in the lack of
cars.
With the change from cable to electric
power will come a reduction in the pay of
the men: On grip cars the gripmen and
conductors are now paid 81 a day. On the
old Consolidated lines, where electric cars
are used exclusively, the scale of wages is
Ia ga cents An hour for twelve hours work
a day, making days pay S1.77. On the
electric cars of the City Passenger Rail-
way the men are paid $1.75 a day In
changing from grip cars to electric cars
on the Red and White lines the pay of the
men is to be placed on the basis of IA ga
cents an hour. Owing to the faster speed
made by the electric cars the routes can
be travelled more quickly, and this will
permit reduction in the number of cars
now operated on the cable lines.
