QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
sst sale Of any medicine In the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought Of using anything else for
Indigestion or BilioEsness. Doctors were
scarce, AND they seldom heard OF Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostitution or Heart
failure, etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermen-
tation Of undigested food, regulate the
action Of the Liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action of the system, and
that Is all they took when feeling dull
and bad with headaches and other aches.

1.-The excellence of Pabst Malt Extract
is not unknown to me, as have used it
professionally for years, always with the
most satisfactory results. For mothers
nursing their children and for general
debility from any cause, regard it as
of especial value, as it combines both
tonic and nutrient properties, which
make it truly the Best Tonic"
81 recently prescribed Pabst Malt Ex-
tract, The "Best" Tonic, to three of my
patients, all of whom were ladies, and
all of whom we're suffering from dyspep-
STA and its consequences, and in all these
cases it acted like charm. Two of
them bought more of the tonic, and
continued to take it, until now they tell
me they can eat anything, and one OF
them added "everything," without the
slightest inconvenience. They have GER
tainly improved wonderfully in weight
and strength. I have prescribed your
''Best" Tonic great number of times.
1t is one of the best, if not the very best,
of its kind"

CUBAN CLAIMS
Damages to the Amount of Tween.

American Citizens OWNING

Paris Treaty Provides for Paw
ment by Each Country t. -
Own Citizens.
Persistent Rum0rs of Trouble in
Porto Rico--.Our Rule Not
Relished. 4s.s

WAsH1NaroN, March 13.-The depart
ment of state has received claims to the
amount of $21, O00, 900 on account Of
crops destroyed in Cuba belonging to
American citizens, and also on account
of injuries sustained by citizens for
which pecuniary benefit is sought. The
Paris treaty expressly provided that the
United States and Spain should both
assume liability for all such claims pre-
ferred by their respective citizens.
Therefore the United States government
is probably chargeable for all the dam
ages sustained by Americans throughout
Cuba by either the insurgent or Spanish
troops, and in the case of some planta-
lions owned by American citizens these
losses were very heavy.
Congress made no provision for the
settlement Of these claims, so that the
state department is at present unable to
do more than merely to file them. It is
the purpose of the department, when
congress meets again, to call attention
to the treaty of obligations assumed by
the United States towards these claim
ants and suggest some means of settle
ment be provided, either through a
commission or by reference to the court
of claims

RUSSIA WANTS TT.

Has q Force of Troops Ready to Occupy
Disputed Territory in Central Asia
LONDON, March ia dispatch from
Allahabad, capital of the Northwest
provinces of India, says it is reported
there from Yarkund, Chinese Tur-
kestan, that large force of Russian
troops has arrived at the Russian post,
Fort Murghbi, on the Murghbi river in
the Sari Pamir, with the intention of
selling Sir-i-kel, the 100 miles stretch of
territory north of the Mustigh noun
tains, which was left underlined by the
Pamir boundary commission in 1895.
It's seizure by Russia would cause COM
plications with Great Britain.
The Pamirs, great and little, are an
extensive tablelapd of Central Asia,
called by the natives the "roof of the
world" They are bound on the south
by the Hindoo-Hoosh mountains, and
the plateau forms the central node,
whence radiate the principal mountain
ranges of Asia. The tract is mainly I'M
der Russian authority, but Sir-i-kel, in
which is Lake Sir-i-kel, the headwaters
of the Oxus river, has remained dis
puted since 1855.
