REPORT OF A FIGHT DISCREDITED.

WASHINGTON OFFICIALS HAVE NOT HEARD OF A
CLASH BETWEEN THE DETROIT AND
NIcARAGUAN GUNBoAT.
Washington, May 22.-The Navy Department has
had no report from the commander OF the Detroit
Of any difficulty with the Ncaraguan officials or OF
any fight with the Nicaraguan gunboat San ia
cinto. The Detroit arrived at Bluehelds on May
H. and since that date report has come from
her She was to take board the body OF Gen
eral MacAuley for transportation to the United
States.
AS the latest Geographic and mail advces from
the American officials at Bluefelds and other
points in Nicaragua contained nothing TO indicate
any serious friction between the United States and
Nicaragua officials, Secretary Long said that he
not inclined to credit the report that United
States ship had been compelled TO resort 10 extreme
measures. Secretary Hay also said that no word
had been received at the State Department on tho
subject. and therefore he was not prepared to be-
lieve that anything of the kind had occurred.
The latest advices from Nicaragua were to the
effect that the negotiations for settlement Of the
recent customs differences were proceeding with
every indication Of amicabie settlement.
The converted gunboat Vixen sailed from Fort
Monroe yesterday for Bluefelds. She will relieve
the Detroit.

MERIT NOT IN DOUBT.
Wonderful Results Obtained Here
in Wheeling.
Another Citizen Who Adds Her Testi'
mony to What Has
Been Said.

There IS no doubt whatever as to the
merits of Morrows Kid-ne-oids, judging
from the wonderful results obtained right
here in Wheeling. Morrows Kid-ne-oids
are used daily by hundreds of Wheeling
people and they all testify without hest
fancy about the great good they have re-
ceiyed by the use of this great kidney
preparation. Kid-ne-oids will positively
cure kidney backache. dizziness, sleepless-
ness, restlessness, nervousness and all uri-.
nary disorders arising from a disordered
condition of the kidneys. Another citizen
adds her testimony as follows:
Mrs b. Gartner. residing at $50 Sixteenth
street, makes this statement: II suffered
for long time with disordered kidneys
At times the pain across the small of my
back would be extremely severe and would
extend through my sides and stomach
making me very sick l grew very nervous
and could not rest well at night Some
times l would awake with a start. and
then it would be hours before / could get
10 sleep again. and in the morning when
! would get up | would feel completely
worn out. II seemed that nothing / could
get would do or give me relief, and when
! saw Morrows kid-ne-oids advertised /
decided TO give them a trial. l secured
some at Chas. r. Goetze's drug store: he
guarantees them TO cure if the directions
are followed, or refunds the money
took them for a short time as the direc-
tons said and they gave me relief. That
was some time, ago and l have not been
troubled since. l can recommend Kid-ne-
oids to any one suffering as | was
Morrows kid-ne-oids are not pills but

boxes which contain enough for about
