Americans were afraid of the conse-

Americas action must inevitably
bear an enormous crop Of reconstruc-

CAT TARRH

Catarrh has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. tits customary to speak Of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple inflammation OF the nose aud
throat. It is, in fact, complicated and
very dangerous disease II not at first, 1t
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison
through the general circulation is carried

Salyes, washes and sprays are unsatis-

HAY-PAuNcEForE TREATY.
Its Ratification by the Senate VIII Be
Urged by the Administration.


NEW YORK. Nov. 1s.-Plans are be-
ing made by the administration. ac-
cording to a Washington dispatch to
the Herald, to press with vigor for the
ratification by the senate Of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty in its original form.
as the first step towards constructing
an isthmian canal.
This action is likely to precipitate
one Of the memorable contests Of the
coming session Of congress. Opposition
to the treaty is based on the fact that
1t provides that no fortifieations shall
be erected on the canal The Hepburn
bill, which has passed the house. pro-
vides for the construction and pro-
lection by the secretary Of war Of a
Nicaraguan canal.
In addition Senator Davis has brought
before the senate from the committee
on foreign relations an amendment
that nothing in the treaty shall re-
strict measures which the United States
may find necessary for the defense Of
the United States. The Davis amend
ment was copied from the tenth clause
of the Constantnople treaty securing
the neutrality of the Suez canal.
General John A. Kasson, Of Iowa,
special commissioner and formerly
minister Of the United States TO Ger
many ani Austria, supports the Hay
Pauncefote treaty.
1T is manlfestly absurd to attempt
TO make private national snap Of
the exclusive control and use Of a
great inter-oceanlc waterway" said he
in an interview. ITO establish such
conditions by law would be a challenge
to all nations to combine against us
ard to compel US to 10 what we ought
to do in the spirit Of modern civili-
zation and in reciprocity for the priv
liges which we enjoy in the eastern
world
No predictions can be made as to the
vote on the treaty.

COMMANDERS PROTEST.
Frequent Changes in Officers and Crew
Lover Efficiency Of Squadrons.

NEW YORK. Nov. 19.-Acco1ding 10
special dispatch from Washington to
the Herald, strong protests have been
made to the navy department by the
commanders-in-chief Of American
squadrons against frequent changes in
officers and crews which have occur
red on vessels under their command.
Rear-Admiral Remey, commanding
the Asiatic station. declares that FIRE
quent changes of officers and crews
have initiated against the efficiency OF
the feet TO a serious extent. but every
effort is now made to reduce these to
the minimum Of necessity"
Rear-Admiral Farquhar, commander
in-chief Of the North Atlantic station
reports that ''it is painfully evident
that frequent changes in the roster Of
both officers and crews Of cruising yes
sells tend to lower their efficiency and
morale. In view Of the deficiency and
the number Of commanding officers and
the frequent changes made necessary
thereby. it is especially desirable that
at ltsst the chief and first class pet
ty officers should be detailed for and
remain on board of the same ship for
full cruise whenever such can be
done"
1t has been decided that Rear-Admiral
Kautz shall remain in command Of the
Pacific squadron until he retires in
February. When he hauls down his
flag Rear-Admiral Casey will assume
command.

SUPREME COURT DECISION,
Tennessee Law to Regulate Sale Of CT
garettes Is Sustained

WASHINGTON. Nov 19.-The United
States supreme court today rendered
an opinion In the case OF VIM. B. Aus
tin vs.. the state Of Tennessee, involving
the validity Of the state law for the
regulation Of the sale Of cigarettes.
The law was attacked as an infringe
ment Of the right of congress to regu-
late Interstate commerce. The Tennes-
BEE supreme court upheld the law and
today's decision sustained that verdict,
though not without dlsapproyal OF some
OF the positions taken and then upon
a very narrow margin. 4 out Of the 3
members Joining in dissenting opln-

people had voted without the protection
OF soldiers and police at the polls.
In round numbers the total vote OF
the island was 5000. only 1850 federal
votes were counted. The leaders Of the
Federal party had ordered their fol.
lowers not to appear at the polls and
the order was generally obeyed. II
was an election In name merely, as
only one party voted. As the result
Mr.. Frederick Degetan was sent to
Washington as commissioner tocongress
and the IS members OF the house OF
delegates are all Republicans. In fact,
the entire legislative assembly is now
OF one party. Each OF the seven d.s-
triots of the islands sent five delegates
to the house.
Mr. Degetan is well known on the
Island and abroad. He Is an author.
scientist, lawyer and politician. He has
published several novels and scienti-
nc works in French and Spanish. but
his command Of the English language
is limited. He is a lawyer and a gradu-
ate OF the Central University OF Mad
rid. He was always a Republican un-
der the monarchy. Since 1852 he has
taken part in the principal happenings
OF his country in Madrid as well as in
Porto Rico and was one OF the four
commissioners sent in 1895 to ask Spain
for autonomy.
He refused to enter into the com
pact with SagaSta. The district OF
Ponce then elected him a deputy to the
cortes in 1898
General Henry appointed him secre-
tary OF the interior.
There is great deal OF speculation |
as to what the Federal party here in
tends to do. Had they voted. the elec-
ton. Il is asserted. would have been
very close. as year ago they carried |
the island by a majority OF soOo votes. |

n touch with the party leaders believe !
hat an attempt may be made in the |

grounds that 1t was not legal con-
lest.
