part received from hlibusters, intrenched
themselves near Los Ceuvas, a town q
few miles inland from Irapa. They were
under command OF Generals Juliana
Pedro Costa and Jaunichas Colsica-
They were closely watched by LOO
government soldiers. One of them left
food in their camp. A party OF the en-
envy made a SOrtie and captured the
man before he could reach his corn

The main body of the rebels opened

latter charged the intrenchments. They
were driven back several times, but
continued the attack for five hours
They gained no substantial advantage
until battery Of four field guns was
brought up These shelled the position
of the rebels and finally they retreated,
carrying most of their supplies.
They had eight killed and four wound

to have lost $50 killed and 27 wounded
in the fight Eleven women, who were

GERMANY'S NAVY
Will Have "a Battleships and So
Cruisers Completed by 1905.

New York, jan ga special to the
Herald from Washington says: Ger
many has SO laid out the work in con-
nection with the naval ship building
programme adopted in 1899, that in
stead of being completed in 1916, as
originally contemplated, all the ships
will be ready for service by 1906.
This important information has been
received by the navy department and
has been given consideration by the
Dewey policy board. The programme
now being carried out viii add to the
German fleet "a battIeSh1pS, 20 large
cruisers and AZ small cruisers, all thor
oughly modern. There will be other and
older battleShipS available for duty and
the German fleet will consequently have
a strength of more than forty battle
ships
The haste being observed by the Ger
man emperor in the construction Of his
new navy is directly traceable. of
course, to his desire to provide his gov
eminent with navy which shall prop
erly protect its interests.
The feeling is that it is of especial
Importance to this country in view OF
the possibility of trouble between it and
made reference when the naval bill was
under consideration in the house, and
to which Secretary Root also called at
tention in connection with the necessity
for an increase of the army, when he
said last spring that there was ''one
nation that the United States must not
lose sight of.
The naval board, which, under in
structions given by Secretary Long last
summer, devoted itself to the prepare
ton of plans of campaign to be followed
in Chinese and Philippine waters in
case of hosti1ities with other powers,
practically has completed this work, it
is understood, and is now devoting itself
to problems in connection with the de-
tense of he United States and its nearer
dependencies.
No one here expects hostilities with
Germany or any other nation, and the
president is doing everything in his
power to foster friendly relations. There
is no doubt that he and other admins
tration officials sincerely regret the
course Germany has pursued in the Chi
nese negotiations.
The Berlin government has recently
shown a Willingness to make a solution
of the Chinese problem more probable,
and this change of attitude is matter
of much qualification in official circles
here. It is hoped by the administration
that the haste being observed in the
completion Of the shipbuilding pro-
gramme has no reference to the United
States, and it is to be expected that the
Berlin authorities will disavow that this

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.
He Cured Himself of Serious Stomach
Trouble Down to First Principles.

A man of large affairs in one Of our
prominent eastern cities by too close
attention to business, too little exercise
and too many club dinners, finally be-
gan to pay natures tax, levied in the
form of chronic stomach trouble: the
failure of his digestion brought about a.
nervous irritabiiity making it impossible
to apply himself to his daily business
and finally deranging the kidneys and
heart.
In his own words he says: sT con-
suited one physician after another and
each one seemed to understand my
case, but ali the same they each failed
to bring about the return Of my former
digestion, appetite and vigor. For two
years went from pillar to post, from
one sanitarlum to another, I gave up
smoking, I quit coffee and even re-
nOunced my daily glass or two of beer
but without any marked Improvement
Friends had often advised me to try
a well known proprietary medicine.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. and I had
often perused the newspaper advertise
ments of the remedy but never took any
stock in advertised medicines nor. could
believe a fifty-eent patent medicine
would touch my case.
ITO make a. long story short I finally
bought a couple of packages at the
nearest drug store and took two or
three tablets after each meal and Occa.-
sionaly a tablet between meals. when
I felt any feeling Of nausea or discom-
fort.
4 was surprised at the end of the
first week to note a marked improve
ment IN my appetite and general health
and before the two packages were gone
7 was certain that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets was going ITO cure completely,
and they did not disappoint me. I can
eat and sleep and enjoy my coffee and
cigar. and no one would suppose had
ever. known the horrors of dyspepsia
"Out of friendly curiosity I wrote to
the proprietors of the remedy asking
for information as to what the tablets
principal ingredients were aseptic pep
sin government test). malt diastase and
other natural digestives, which digest
food regardless of the condition Of the
stomach
The root of the matter is this. the d.
gestive elements contained in Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food,
give the overworlSed stomach a chance
to recuperate and the nerves and whole
can only come from food; stimulants
and nerve tonics never give real
strength they give fictitious strength
invariably followed by reaction. Every
drop Of blood, every nerve. and tissue
is manufactured from our daily food
and IL you can insure its prompt action
and complete digestion by the regular
use of SO good and wholesome a remedy
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, you will
have no need OF nerve tonics and sani-
tariums.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have been in the market only a. few
years yet probably every druggist in
the United States, Canada and Great
Britain now sells them and consider
them the most popular and successful
or any preparation for stomach troubles.
