WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS.
Cuba Must Enter Into Permanent
Trenty in Order to Secure 1t.


Treaty in Order to Secure 1t.
Washington, Sept. 27.-Though rec
ognizing in the request of the Cuban
government for the withdrawal of the
remaining American troops in Cuba a
very natural desire to remove all
traces of foreign occupation, the indi-
cations are that the authorities here
viii order the withdrawal only upon the
completion of the permanent treaty
contemplated in the Platt amend
ment. 1t is regarded as essential
that such provisions in the projected
treaty as those touching coaling sta
lions and the ownership of the Isle of
Pines be expressly arranged for in
treaty that shall be absolutely binding
upon both parties, and only when these
things are done will the small remain
ing force of United States troops be
Withdrawn.

CAPTAIN FAUNCE AT HOME.
Rescue Party Found Him Waiting at
Glymont

Capt. Chris. Faunce, the old fisherman
who was blown from the Virginia side OF
the Potomac, across to the mouth of Malta
woman creek, Md, through the ice, in the
heavy gale Of yesterday week, is back at
his home in this city, none the worse for
his rough experience. When the party
which left this city Saturday last on a mis-
sion to rescue him from the ice, reached the
wharf at Glymont, they found Capt. Faunce
had rescued himself and was waiting on the
wharf for the steamer. Rescued and res
cuers returned home Saturday evening on
the Estelle Randall.
Capt. Faunce makes light of his adyen-
ture and says he was at no time in any
grave danger. When the gale sprane up
his boat. the Albatross was lying we'll up
In Neatsico creek, and he was alone on the
boat The ice began to move and about
dusk carried the boat with it out into the
river. While the wind blew with hurricane
force, and the water was very rough, roll
ing and tossing the boat badly, the ice pre-
vented the seas from breaking over her,
and she was kept dry. All he could do was
to permit the heavy Ice from crowding his
little craft and crushing 1t. The wind car
ried him across the river and into the
broken ice in the smooth water at the
mouth of Mattawoman. The rough voyage
only lasted about two hours, and by 8
o'clock Sunday night he was safe in a good
harbor. with ice piling outside Of the boat
and protecting 1t. Having plenty Of fuel
batross. which was not harmed by the Ice
until last Friday morning. when he came
ashore on the ice and made his way to Gly-
mont, and, as stated, returned home Satur-
day evening.
Capt, Faunce will shortly return to Mat
tawoman, and will take precautions to pre-
vent damage to his boat when the ice he
gins to move again.

FAT NERVES.

A whirl of excitement was recently
caused among scientists by the dis
covery of "how nerves act"
Healthy nerves are fat nerves. It
is fat in the core of nerve that by
hardening and softening creates
nerve action.
Maybe this explains why SCOTS
Emulsion has always been such re-
markable remedy for nervousness.
SCOTS Emulsion makes fat nerves.
