What Reply Shall BE Made
to the Appeal.

Washington, Feb. 15.-One of the
principal subjects discussed at the

doubtedly will clear the atmosphere
somewhat upon many of the involved
questions.

should be preserved, and that there
should be no disturbance of the ter
ritorial status quo, either in China
or the adjoining regions" He con-
tinues:
1.-THE discovery that their far eastern pol
icies were Identical resulted in each party
to the agreement expressing its desire that
their common policy find expression in an
International contract of binding validity"
Lord Lansdowne further says: THE
British government was largely influenced
in entering upon this important contract
by the conviction that it contains no pro-
sive or self-seeking." He says it is con-
cluded merely as a measure OF precaution.
and that it in no way threatens the present
position or legitimate interests of other
powers. His majesty S government trusts
that the agreement will be of mutual ad-
vantage to the two countries and make
for the preservation of peace. And, should
peace unfortunately be broken, 1t will have

Predicts n New War.

s.Further," said DR.. de Peau, "the sit
uation there is growing worse. With
the withdrawal of the American sol
diers and the landing of Palma, if he
is permitted to land, there will be a
new war.
''The only relief that the United
States can offer us outside of annexa-
ton is the resembling of the present
sugar tariff. so that planters who now
have great deal of sugar can ship
it. Cheap immigration to Cuba should
be stopped. We now have more ne
groes than we can handle, and we do
not want any more. The importation
of American negroes to Cuba has been
one of the worst things we have had
to deal with.
"Palma is not the president for us.
The whites wanted Masso. Palma
knows nothing about Cuba; he had
not been there for years, and does not
now know the conditions"
During the fighting around Santiago
DR.. de Peau attended Col. Roosevelt
during an attack of fever. He is one
of the most noted physicians of Cuba.

THE ISLANDERS REBEL AGAINST PALMA
Predicts Revolution Between
Whites and Blacks If He Becomes
President-Declares Annexation Is
the Only Solution of the Present
Critical Situation.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 14.-''If Estra-
da Palma, the newly chosen president
of Cuba. ever lands on that island
there will follow Immediately a revo-
luton between the whites and blacks
there, which will again tear the island
to pieces"
This is the prediction of DR.. Leonel
de Peau, now in this city, who was
physician to Col. Theodore Roosevelt.
now president, during the war in the
island between the Spanish and Amer
lean forces. Further, DR.. de Peau says
that Palma was never wanted as presi-
dent by the better element, and that
the moment the United States troops
are withdrawn there will be another
conflict.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1902-02-18
The Only Solution.

Annexation, says DR.. de Peau, is the
only solution of the present situation
in Cuba. Because of the tariff against
Cuban sugar planters cannot move
the crop. They have no money and no
means of raising any without giving
from IS to % per cent. on it, and he
thinks the spirit of internal dissen-
sion will tear the island to pieces
again, and that the United States will
be compelled to take possession.

Hope for Annexation.


This is what is desired by the bet
ter element, Spanish and Cuban alike,
he declares, and he is now on his way
to Washington to see President Roose-
welt and tell him about the condi-
tons on the island.
Senior de Peau came to the United
States to see President Roosevelt per-
sonally in the matter of the loss of his
family fortune in Cuba. Vast tracts
of land which Spain never owned. he
says, have been sold there, and among
them the private interests of hundreds
of residents of the island.
Now he says hundreds are starving
on the island. the United States is
pouring a flood of labor there instead
of utilizing the labor at hand, and the
result is that. although three years
have elapsed since the close of the
war, Cuba has made little progress.

West Pembroke, Me-, Sept. 22d. -
The 1~3-year-old daughter Of Mrs. A. l..
Smith suffered with Il peculiar afflic-
ton which her mother describes as fol-
lows:
1T is two years now since she vas
first taken with crazy spells.
''They kept on coming at intervals
and l could get nothing to do her any
good.
1.-THE doctors gave me no encourage
ment. They all said they could not
help her.
The crazy spell would last about
aine days, then she would be well about
nine days, but would eat very little and
was very yellow. Even the whites Of
her eyes were yellow.
IL heard that Dodd's Kidney Pills
were a great remedy for young girls
and decided to try them.
After taking one box she was COM
pletely restored and she has not had
one bad spell since. OF urs we con-
tinueS to use the pills and she used al
together five boxes last fall.
"In March l thought l saw symptoms
of the spells again and I got six boxes,
Of which she has taken four, and is In
splendid health.
Her case was certainly a remarka-
BILE one, and we are very thankful to
Dodd's Kidney Pills for the great good
they have done my daughter"
