Rec0nSiders Action in Refer
 ence to Gardener.
Action Suspended Unti1 Inquiries Made by the War Departmsnt are Answered-Corpor WnN
 W. Gibbs Summoned.

Washington. May General MacArthur was interrogated today by Senator Gull person of Texas, In a rather ironical vein. at the hearing before the Philippines Committee. The General had referred to the advantage of implanting Republican institutions in the island.
 Mir. Culberson asked if the declaration of independence and the constitution were not the foundation of our republican in- stitutions.
 General MacArthur answered that the whole constitutional history of the coun- try with the preceding English history. together with the Declaration of Inde- pendence and the constitution had to bs considered.
 MT. Culberson took up each of the prin- cipies of republican institutions, free speech. free press. self-government. trial by jury, etc., etc. and asked how far these had been implanted in the Philip pines. As to free speech General Mac Arthur said he had told the Filipinos that if they would give him their guns they could have a mass meeting on every corner. He said soldiers were quartered in private houses as an incident to war. This led to a discussion of whether war was in existence. General MacArthur in- sisted that there had been great up- heaval and the goundswell was still ap- parent. some of the incidents of war con tinuing even after the pacification Of locality.
 Senator culberson went through most of the bill of rights. his questions seek ing to develop that the fundamental prin- ciples had not been introduced into the islands.
 General MacArthur maintained, how ever. that all of the Fundamental rights except trial by jury and the right to bear arms were in operation as far as conditions would permit. He read proclamation he had issued specifying most of the constitutional rights.
 The committee in executive session agreed to the request of Mir. Rawlins to summon Corporal William w. Gibbs. now at Springfield. Mass. he having been an eyewitness of the massacre of Ballan- giga, the Senator said; also Dr. A. l.. Parker of New Hampshire, who is said to have been witness of much water curing" The committee also reconsid- cred it's action of yesterday of deciding to ask the War Department to have Ma for Cornelius Gardener brought from the Philippines to Washington in advance of his regiment in order to testify before the committee. It was stated at last ac- counts Major Gardener had not fled the specifications to sustain the charges made by him as Governor of Tayabas province as directed by the Secretary of War, and that it was not considered de- sirable to bring him from the islands be- fore that order had been compiled with. It was further stated that inquiry as to the status of this matter had been made by cable and 1t was decided to suspend action until a response could be secured. The committee then adjourned.

Havemeyer statement as to purchases amounting 70 9S. 900 tons and the returns made py the War Department placing the Amer'can comps ny's option at 3.2s5 tons up 70 March 25, but MT. Donner was not able to expaMn 1t.
 Responding to questions put by Senator Teller. Mr Donner confirmed MT. Have meyers statement that of the trusts remain in Cuba. He said also that his company dealt entirely with brokers principally with Zealdo & Co.,. Francke & Co and Czarknow & Go. of Havana and New York, and did not know the names of producers. The American com pany had made no advances to the Cuban planters and had not advanced any money to the Cuban banks for the planters;
 While he did not know. he said. he presumed there were other purchasers or Cuban sugar besides his own company in the field Asked as to realty holdings in Cuba. he said that the trust had none there. He knew nothing of the private holdings of stockholders of the trust.
 You have taken some interest in se- curing reduction of sugar duties by Congress. have you not?" asked MT. Tel Ter. >''I have not" was the reply.
 Senator Platt asked
 So far as you know. has the American Sugar Refining Company taken any 1n- terest whatever in forwarding or opposing the reduction of the duty on Cuban
 '7lSo. sir; don't think it has,"
 Senator Teller-You speak of it as cor poration?
 Yes"
 DO you know whether the stockhold- CTS have Laken any interest as such in the reduction?"
 "I 1a not; know nothing about it."
 Henry c. Mott. purchaser Of raw sugar for the trust. was the next witness.

Vinol Substituted for Cod Liver oil
 . Wonderful Improvement.

MT. E. G. Fowler, whose name is 50 closely associated with Vinol, the won- derful discovery. is by this time becoming used to answering questions. Yesterday, in answer to reporter, he said: "People are not making as many inquiries of me as they did. am now having my in nings, and you may be sure am improv- ing them by asking questions. This talk of the difYiculty of introducing a new dis covery Is one of your newspaper fellows yarns. Let the discovery be all right and 1t goes right on and introduces itself. All you need to do is to give it little shove and make 1t stand out before the public. It will do the rest. Yes. l did have to answer a great many questions for a few days. I will admit that. and of course am not entirely through yet; but vinors friends are talking for it almost as well as 1t talks for itself. and good news, as we'll as news of that which VIII do good, gets around pretty fast.
 You see 1t was not very dimcurt thing to explain. Everybody grasped the idea in . minute, when told them that the real value of cod liver oil existed in certain active principles always found Tn the liver of the live cod. It was not very hard work for any one to- believe that these same principles could be obtained by a special process, without it's being necessary to have them connected with the disagreeable and vile-smelling grease that formerly was part of the remedy which they had known as cod liver oil. We'll, that is about all had to ten them It is not very hard work for even child to comprehend that given certain ex- tract that contains valuable medicinal principles, that just the right amount can be administered. and even child could mix this extract in the delicious table wine which we are using and which so prepared goes under the name of Vinol- Wine of Cod Liver Oil.
 Yes indeed any number of people have already found out the value of VinoL Lots of them are coming to me every day ana telling me that they knew 1t was neces- sary for them to take cod liver oil, but they could not do it. They are now tell ing me of the good they are deriving from vinol, and I am surprised myself at the rapid way such benefits show themselves. This is where I am asking my questions and collecting a nice little batch of infor- nation in regard to the good that is be- ing done in this city to people we all know. Will I publish any of 1t? Oh, do not think I will. Not for the present at least, and of course, never would without the full permission of the people who tell me their stories. Many of them say more than they would like to see in print, they are so enthusiastic on the sub ject. Yet, perhaps, l will in few days be able to give you the names of a few of the best known people in the city, who are warm advocates of vinol. and doing more in a minute to gain new converts for 1t than could in a week."

THE LIFE OF
The Man Behind the Desk.

Coffee soaked me hard for about three years and I was troubled with indiges- tion, headaches and drowslness; had no al petite al d could not sleep and l was steadily losing flesh all the time.
 l had spent a small fortune on medicine snd doctors bills; I consulted several doctors, one told me that I had liver trouble. another told me that had kid ney trouble, others prescribed remedies for numerous complaints. but none helped me and I finally looked upon my bad stomach as a part of my miserable exist ence, giving up all hope of ever being myself again.
 I knew that the cause of 1t was all due to office work, which precluded sufficient bodily exercise and the eating of non- nourishing and non-digestive food, and the drinking of tea and coffee. I had to quit my work as I lost my mental and physical strength.
 friend of mine, who weighs about 24O IDS. and who looks the picture of health advised me to use Grape Nuts as a food and drink Postum Cereal Coffee He said that his perfect health was due to the Use of these two pure cereals. He said that they would build up the delicate me to health.
