MARINES LANDED
ON The ISTHMUS
Camp Established in Panama Canal
Company's Buildings.
A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE
~ eSs.E .sESsse a''''f = '-'''

J
Colon, Dec. "a company of ma
rines from the United States auxiliary
cruiser Dixie, under command of Cap
tain Writ McCreary, were landed here
and took a train for Empire, a town
on the railroad near Panama, where
camp was established in the canal
company's buildings. Another COM
pany of marines, to the number of 80,
from the Dixie left on a later train for
Empire. The camp at Empire is now
thoroughly equipped, and all precau-
tions from a sanitary standpoint to
ensure the health of the marines have
been taken. The camp will be supplied
with water from the Dixie pending the
analysis of the drinking water avail
able there. If this water should be
found to be good, the remainder Of the
450 marines on board the Dixie will be
transferred to the camp in patches
of so.
The stated official purpose Of this
movement is to give the marines prac-
tice in the building of camps and to
provide relief from their long confine-
ment on the vessel. The actual pur-
pose of the United States government
in landing the marines is, however,
believed to be connected with the pre-
cautionary measures now being carried
out on both sides of the Isthmus and
perhaps also for the moral effect
which the landing of the marines may
have on the native garrison at Panama,
the loyalty of which, though hitherto
absolutely answering, has been ques- I.
toned in some quarters, especially
since the discovery of the plot against /.
the life of General Huertas, comman-
of the forces of the Re I
public Of Panama and the alleged eff /
fort on the part of a few army officers
to persuade the garrison to revolt.
It is considered significant that the
point selected for the encampment Of
the DiXie's marines, while it is the
highest and best so far as sanitary
conditions are concerned on the line
)f the Panama railroad, it is also on
he trail most frequently used in the
past for the movement of troops over
and from the Cauca district into the
Jhiriqui district.
If body of Colombian troops should
succeed in obtaining a foothold in the
ich Chiriqui district, it is generally
conceded that after predatory raids on
he countryside they could retreat to
he mountain Businesses. from which
would be most difficult to dislodge
hem.
There is no doubt that the naval au-
horities took into consideration the
loTal effect on the Colombian govern
lent of the establishment of a marine
amp at Empire
The report of the movement of 5000
Oldiers from Cartagena for the pur-
Ose of invading the Isthmus cannot
e confirmed Rumors of such move
tents may be looked for frequently,
as the people of the 18TH
lus are more or less excited by the
measures adopted by the
nited States.

sharghai on the sth of October. is a
cause for satisfaction. This act the re-
suit of lCng discussion and negotiation
places our commercial relations with the
great oriental empire on more satisfac-
! tory footing than they have ever hereto
fore enjoyed. 1t provides not only for
the ordinary rights and privileges of dip
lomatic and consular officers, but also
for an important extension of our COM
merce by increased facility of access to
Chinese ports and for the relief of trade
by the removal of some of the obstacles
which have embarrassed il in the past.
The Philippines and Porto Rico.
OF our insular possessions. the Philip
pines and Porto Rico. it is gratifying to
say that their steady progress has been
such as to make il unnecessary to spend
much time in discussing them. Yet the
congress should ever keep in mind that
a peculiar obligation rests upon us to
further in every way the welfare of these
communities.
The effect of the laws providing a gem
eral stan for the army and for the more
effective use of the national guard has
been excellent. Great improvement has
been made in the efficiency of our army in
recent years. Such schools as those erect
ed at Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley
and the institution of fall maneuver work
accomplish satisfactory results.
l heartily congratulate the congress up
on the steady progress in building up
the American navy. There should be no
cessation in adding to the effective units
of the fighting strength of the fleet.
Meanwhile the navy department and the
officers of the navy are doing well their
part by providing constant service at sea
under conditions akin to those of actual /
warfare. The best work ashore is in !
but the highest duty of /
naval officer is to exercise command at |
sea. 1t is eminentlv desirable that a ma /
val general stah should be established.

As to the Pension Department.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: If the Of
I fee of Commissioner of Pensions wa.
made elective, l think that we would b,
able to see man there who would tr!
to construe the pension laws with liberia
justice to the veterans-which, | am sat
| isfie1, is the way that the American peO
pie in America desire that they shall bt
construed. There is no use in trying to
evade the truth or to not see what is be
fore ones open eyes. Civilian or soldier
Republican or Democrat, comrade, stay
homer or newly-born. the man who gets
into the chief chair of the Pension Bureau
becomes antagOnistic to the pensiOner
and, whether he thinks that he does OF
thinks that he does not, he cOnstrues Oul
most liberal and righteous pension laws
in such ways that they become unjust, vex-
atious and oppressive, when they are
meant by the people to be just, expeditions
and liberal
The man in the Office should be at once
soldier, n patriot, statesman, and n
diplomat. He would find much of accumu-
lated rubbish of long years of misrule
through misconstruction of statutes to
clear away.
The Bureau ought to he transferred to
the War Department. I hope that the G.
A. II. and like Orders viii insist that it be.
There ought to be Court of Appeal; not
subjugatiOn of the applicant to the POM
pOus fiat of a supreme dictator. We saved
the Nation; we preserved the Government,
and we suffered it doing it. 1t no longer
needs us with gun and bayonet and saber,
but that is no reason why we should he
treated now as though we were enemies
of the Government. The Government is
ours! Had We not saved it it would not
be worth the notice of one-horsepower
nation. We have our voices and we have
our votes, If We no longer have our health
and our arms and legs. We have our bal
lots, if We do also have our wounds; and
while our wounds may not infict pain
upon the politicians, they respect our
deadly ballots and we should make them
fear them worse than we ever feared the
bullets of the enemy. - NJ
For three or four years We were the men
behind the guns; the men who made ia
nous men who often We're not or were
scarce within hearing Of the guns. As for
me, i was always the very best soldier
that knew how to be at the moment. OF
course, we are now back numbers and not
worthy of seats at the banquets Of the
nabobs who but for MS would be the
merest boblets. But think that we ought
to make the powers that be realize our
power, and then we will be fairly treated
as to pensions.-W. A. SKILLEN, Ser

HUNT UP ALL VETERANS.

While The National Tribune is popular
with many people who were not soldiers
it is said that every man with soldierly
spirit in his breast likes to read it-ii
serves the interests specially of the ex
volunteer soldier. 1t is his paper Thou
sands of them are not subscribers, but
every one who can spare the dollar ought
to subscribe. especially at this time, when
the paper is doing powerful work in his
interest. Even for very poor comrade
the best investment, probably, he could
make of 81 would be to subscribe and keep
posted as to measures that are intended to
make him better off. For more than a
quarter of century, in season and out of
season, this paper has been the faithful
friend of the veteran.

Business and professional men whose
labors are largely mental, whose work is
| constant drain upon the nervous system,
find it necessary to have reserve of nerve
force to withstand the effect Of mental
strain.
When sleep is courted in vain, when the
stomach is frequently out of order; when
the daily stint becomes burden instead
of pleasure; when you rise in the morn
ing with less energy and ambition than
when you retired, your condition Is so
serious as to demand instant attention aud
treatment. 1t is not a case to be cured by
few weeks rest; nor of my stomach
slightly upset." nor Of 'I'll be all right
in few days" 1t Is nervous disorder,
which, if neglected, will lead to nervous
prostration with its attendant horrors of
fainting spells, of mental and physical
weakness, irritability, morbid fears and
ultimately, insanity. Under certain condi-
tions these symptoms may lead to chronic
headache, insomnia or nervous dyspepsia
and, If the sufferer Is predisposed to heart
trouble, the most common cause Of sudden
death.
When the system receives that aid from
without which will replenish nerve force
and vitality; rebuilding and restoring nerve
cells and tissue; Strengthening the nerve
centers Of the brain, heart, stomach, lungs,
or whatever organ is affected, the annoying
symptoms will disappear.
DIR. Miles Restorative Nervinc nour-
ishes the nerves. 1t quiets and strength
ems them, rests and recuperates them,
builds new tissue and restores health. 1t
restores the exact element which weak
ened, exhausted, tired and hungry nerves
lack.
DR.. Miles Nervine will preserve the
balance of health and restore Il when
lost. 1t will counteraet natural decay and
establish a reserve Of nerve-force which

WHEN VISITING CITIES AND
LARGE TOWNS.

1t the owner of coupons does not live
in city, he is apt to be visiting there oc.
casionally, and at such times he could sell
coupons. The National Tribune does not
have large circulation in cities, because
it is not put out on newstands. Most peo-
pie in cities buy their papers from week to
week at newstands. The consequence is
that thousands of our class in large cities
do not take the paper, which offers a good
opportunity to sell subscription coupons.
Sell a subscription coupon to one comrade
and have him give you a card of recon-
mendation to some other cOmrade, and so
on. In cities, too, the advertising coupons
may be easily disposed of. The fact is,
the comrade who buys n subscription cou-
pom may be an advertiser who would be
glad to learn about advertising in The Ma
tional Tribune.

DO NOT GIVE THEM AWAY:

The coupons represent real value, in
fact great value, and there is no reason
why they can not be easily sold at full
prices. if the value they represent is ade-
quately shown. The owner of coupons has
the right to sell them at reduced prices
or to give them away, but such a course
fit the paper, as some good friends think.
The man who receives the paper at half
price or free, or who gets advertising at
reduced rates or free, will be expecting to
be similarly favored next year. Not get
ting renewal of the favor. he will prob
ably be lost as future patron.
