A Sour Stomach
Is Often the Real Cause of a Sour

That the condition of the digestive or

as the hills. Old Ben Jonson wisely

upon the liver" and it is a fact which
none may dispute that a sunny DISPOSE

IS NOTIFIED
Gen. Wood Given Full Text Of
the Cuban Amendments.

New York, Feb. 27.--According TO a
special TO the Times from Washington,
Secretary Root was in communication
with Gen Wood last night, and there was
a long conference between them on the
subject OF the Cuban amendment to the
army appropriation bill. The communica-
tion was by direct wire.
The conference was a protracted one
and in the course OF IL Secretary Root
gave the governor the full text of the
amendment. After hearing his views on
the subject, he gave him certain instruc-
tions, the nature of which is not divulged.
IL is understood, though. that Gen.
Wood will now cease his efforts TO hurry
the Cuban convention I'm its formulation
OF a plan OF international relations. Orig
inaliy ii was the design OF the admins
ira ton that the first proposition should
come from Cuba b1;t now that the United
States is taking the initiative there is not
the same motive for haste that there
was before.
The principal reason for giving Gen.
Wood the full text of the resolutions az
once was to- forestal comments on the
American policy which would result from
a partial report OF the amendment in the
Havana papers today.
An erroneous impression seems TO exist
regarding the clause OF the amendment
which postpones the question OF the
ownership of the Isle OF Pines and pro-
vides that IL shall be decided by treaty.
IL has been intimated that this indicates
a purpose on the part OF the United
States 10 claim the Isle OF Pines or 20
hold Il for the exaction Of further favors
IN IS stated on high authority that the
clause was inserted as a concession to the
Cubans.
The American right to the Isle of Pines,
Is undoubted, Spain having ceded II TO us
by the Paris treaty, But the Cubans
have 40 plainly indicated their desire to
possess it, that the administration pro-
poses, as a compromise 10 let the ques-
tion go over until after the Cuban gov
ernment shall be In operation.
