tion No Further Negotiations with

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 22.-It
is estimated at the state department
that fifteen days have now elapsed
since the money for Miss Stones ran
som was paid over to the agents of the
brigands.
At least five days have elapsed be-
yond the time fixed in the stipulation
to place her in the hands OF her
friends. There is no explanation Of
the delay. 1t is hoped that physical
conditions, such as heavy SHOWS and
adverse weather, may account for the
failure to secure her delivery. The Of
f1cials are loath to believe that there
has been a breach of faith on the part
Of the brigands, but even if this were
so they do not regard themselves as
blameworthy for having trusted them
From the first the United States gov
ernment has been adverse to paying
ransom, but in response to appeals
from every quarter reluctantly author
ized Mr.. Leishman to deal with the
brigands. However, If it turns out that
the brigands have broken faith and
that they have either taken the ran
som money and spirited the captives
away again, Or that they have killed
them, then there will be no further at
tempt to deal with the brigands on the
part of the United States government.
but it's entire power will be directed
upon Turkey and upon Bulgaria to pro-
cure the swift and complete extermina-
tion of the brigands, regardless of cost
or effort.

CAPITOL BUILDING, SALEM, OREGON.
i Letter From the Executive Office of Oregon.

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Letters of congratulation and
commendation testifying to the merits of
Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy are pouring
in from every State in the Union. Dr.
Hartman is receiving hundreds of letters
daily. All classes write these letters, from
the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan,
the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the
preacher-all agree that Pe-ru-na is the
catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and
rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their great
est enemy, are especially enthusiastic in
their praise and testimony.
. Amy man who wishes perfect health must
he entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is
well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent.
Pe-ru-na IS the only absolute safeguard
known. Il cold is the beginning of catarrh.
To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat
ratarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not
only cures catarrh, but prevents. Every
household should be supplied with this great
remedy for coughs, colds and so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it continu

EFFECT OF PRINCES VISIT.
Revival of cordiality is Predicted by
German Paper.

BERLIN, Feb. 21.-The Kreuz lei
tung, concluding a column survey of
the relations between Germany and
the United States, says:
The royal attitude of Germany at
the outbreak of the Spanish-American
war has just been proved If the
sympathies of the German people
were then with Spain the explanation
is that ideal trait of the German
character which causes Germans to
sympathiZe with the weaker party in
a fight. But we have long since got
ten over that. Sharp conflicts of in
terest exist between Germany and the
United States. These, however, are
not political, but are confined to eco
nomic matters. Perhaps way has at
last been found which renders posi-
BILE a settlement of these conflicts
Perhaps the visit of Prince Henry will
give occasion to this end. At any
rate much will be gained if this visit
reawakens a lively consciousness of
the traditional friendly relations
among the rulers and the people of
both nations. 1t will also remove the
misunderstanding which the sensa-
tional press has created and nourish-
ed. Prince Henry's visit will certainly
clear the atmosphere, improve the re-
lation and revivify the cordiality
which has always existed between the
two governments"
1t will be remembered that the
Kreuz Zeitung was one of the most
hostile critics of the United States in
1898, which attitude it has since main

DESCRIBES THE WATER CURE.
Funston Denies that Officers Counte-
ranced Its Application.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 22.-General
Frederick Funston, in discussing the
water cure,'' form of torture charg-
ed against the soldiers in the Philip
pines, said that he had never seen
the water cure" applied, but he had
heard it described. The victim is
bound and a canteen forced into his
mouth said the general. His head
is thrown upward and back and his
nose grasped by the fingers of the
torturer. Strangulation follows as a
matter OF course. When the victim is
about suffocated the application is re-
leased and he is given a chance to talk
on recovery or take another dose Of it.
The operation is brutal beyond a
doubt, but hardly fatal.
The charge which l have just re-
futed at the request of the war depart
ment was most vague. 1t was made
by "a soldier and to the effect that he
had helped administer the water cure
