Indigestion Causes
Catarrh Of the
Stomach.

For many years II has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly tho
opposite. Indigestion causes oatarrh. Re-
peated attacks Of Indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus-
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead Of
the juices of natural digestion. This 10
called Catarrh of the Stomach.

BRAzIL,s tLTIalATuM.
Final Rejoinder to the Peruyiam
 Clnfmn.


 Claims.
 Washington. May s.-Tie Associated Press WAS furnished tonight by the Bra zilian Charge d'Anaires his legations nnal rejoinder to the Peruvian legation regarding the Acre dispute.
 The rejoinder of Brazil asserts that Peru, when she adopted, by the treaty of 1851, the principal of Uti PossIdetis recognized the right of Brazil to the ter- ritories In the Alta Yurua and Alta Pu. rus. Furthermore. 1t Is said, Peru furth- CT recognized Brazirs rights by inc treaty of 1861 when 1t was explicitly ssipu. lated that the boundary line should not go any further in the south than the rlver Yanway. The statement then says: Notwithstanding this, Brazil acting in fair and friendly spirit, always has been disposed to admit and reserve the claim of Peru, especially in a very for moi way. in the treaty of Metropolis of November last, settling our dispute with Bolivia But between allowing a claim and recognizing a right there is a ereat difference. The admission of the claim Is on the part of Brazil proof of good will. but it does not preclude the asser. ton of her right. recognized by Peru, and still less does it imply any recox. hilton of right in behalf of Peru Going still further, Brazil. doing honor to her traditions and the prescription of her constitution. has always shown her read iness to submit the dispute to arbitra- ton, on two elementary and usual condi- tons: The presentation for discussion O. the titles on which Peru bases her claim in order to seek, first. direct agreement: and the evacuation of the territory unlawfully occupied by Peru. There Is. therefore, no exaction on the part of Brazil"

FIGHT WITH NATIVES
BRITISH AND THIBETANE
 CLAsHED MAY 6.
Battle at an Attitude of I6,oOo Feet Above Sea Level - Captain Bethune Among Five
 English Killed.

New York, May 9.-Detaiis of the bat-
 tie of May 6 between the British ex-
 petition and natives of ThIbet recounted In dispatch from The Times corres- pondent at Karo pass, Thibet, show that the action took place sixteen thousand feet above sea level. It was inc o,t- come of an attack on Colonel Youneh,,s-
 band and his escort at early dawn o,, Thursday by 800 men from Donr-rse
 The attacking force arrived at Gyang-T,sa at midnight, the approach being with fife utmost secrecy. The garrison under com mand Of Major Murray behaved with great saliantry and beat off the attack successfully, although the picl, nf tha men and nearly all the senior officers had been taken for an expedition to Karoia
 When Colonel Brandes, with his rifles camped on the pass Thursday night i soD IhiDetans were holding wall three miles ahead Their position was we'll fianked ana elaborate preparations had been made Tor the hurling down of rocks from both sides of the gorge Seven hun ored or the men were from Rams and the remainder from L'IIassa. and this locality. The enemy. after obstinate re- sistance, were cleared from the wall Two sangars, well defended, held back the advance two and half hours, dur HIS hAO9S OA "AACh Aitue a peltlnE hall storm was in progress. The general plan of attack was an outfanking movement by one company of Ghurlhas and direct attack by pioneers. Ultimately 1t was found necessary to detach a force of pioneers to scale a precipice 1.2oo feet high.
 The gallantry of both the sikhs and the pioneers on both Hanks was conspicu ous, as the resistance was stubborn until the Hanks were turned. When that oc- cured the entire Thibetan force fled from the wall.
 The casualties of the Thibetans during the actual fight were about seventy-five and probably as many again were lost during the pursuit by the mounted in- fantry who have not returned. Captain Bethune. who was among the i've British killed. fell while leading his men to the attack on the wall.
 The construction of the wall and the choice of the spot where 1t was built credit on the Thibetans, SO much so that its abandonment must have been due to sheer cowardIce. as 1t would have been almost impossible to take 1t by frontal attack. the enemy largely using L'Hassa made rifles and cartridges In- stead of match-loclxs.

 patkin. 9e -

St. Petersburg. May 9.-The reinforce ments prepared for General Kuropatkin are being hurried. The last stage of the mobilization of the 10th and 17th army corps has been signalized by the calling out of the reserves in Moscow and Kharkhoff provinces. They will go to the front thus placing another 100000 men at Kuropatkins disposal.
 The announcement of the mobilization of the four army corps along the Volga. which will follow in July or August, Is expected next month.

REMAINS OF WENTZ
STILL LIE IN VIRGINIA NOUN
 TAINS.
Guards Are Around the Body, and Inquest Will Be Held After Arrival of Dead Mans
 Brothers.

Bristol, Va, May 9.--The body of F. l.. Wentz, discovered in the noun tains near Kelley View. wist County Va, Sunday afternoon by Dave Raleigh, a miner employed at an operation at Blackwood, Va, while hunting a lost COW, lies tonight identically as 1t was first seen. and around 1t stand a guard of twenty-five men under command of Superintendent Arthur Foster of the Osaka plant of the Virginia Coal and Iron Company. The body has not been disturbed in any way and will not be until tomorrow, when D. B. Wentz and J. L. Wentz. brothers of the dead man, arrive on the scene.
 They are en route tonight in a spe- cial train from Philadelphia. No in- quest has been held and will not be un- til the brothers are on the scene.
 Upon making the ghastly discovery, Raleigh ran to Blackwood. a mining settlement mile or more distant, and there first told of the fact to Bent Kill gore, a police officer of that section.
 Kilgore communicated with J. F. Bull lit at Big Stone Gap, shortly before dark Sunday evening, and forthwith a party headed by MT. Bullitt, and carry ing lanterns to aid them in their jour ney through the dark passes of the mountains, started for the scene, some twelve miles distant. They arrived shortly after II o'clock, and at once, stretching ropes around the body. en- closing 1t in a thirty-foot square, placed a guard. which was not relieved until after daylight this morning.
 AS to the amount of the reward, 1t is generally believed that the man discov- ering the body will receive 5000. How ever no one has as yet spoken with authority on this subject. The same amount was offered by the Virginia Iron and Coal Company az a substitute for a similar amount first offered by the Wentz family.
 As no examination has been made of the body, little has so far been deter mined as to the cause of his death. All seem to agree that he was shot, but whether 1t was suicide or murder is the question. Two Of his front teeth are gone. presumably shot out while holes. thought to be bullet holes, are found through the coat and vest just below the ribs on the left side. The place in which the body lies has been recently burned off by forest fires: and his hair and clothing scorched. The body is lying about thirty feet from the noun tain path and Is now easily seen for a hundred feet.
 Last fall when the searching party was out, the spot was hidden by under growth and leaves.
 The color of his clothing Is so much like the logs upon which the head rests that the searchers failed to find him last fall, though they passed within twenty feet of him. Numbers of men have recently passed near the spot without discovering. the body. though from all appearances there seems no doubt that 1t has laid there all the time.
 Hundreds of people visited the spot last night and today.

 With Japs.
AVOID A BATTLE

Paris, May 9.--The correspondent at St. Petersburg of The Echo de Paris. telegraphs as follows: M st
 General Kuropatkin has ordered a general retreat and no doubt intends to avoid battle until he has sufficient forces He actually has at his dispos- al not more than 150,000 men, exclu- sive of the garrison at Newchwang. of 15,000.
 "A general who knows the secrets of the mobilization tells me that the last one thousand men making up the required 500.000 will leave Kasan July 21, adding We will be very sick if the railway Is not worked we'll. It is not likely that General Kuropatkin will fatigue his troops unnecessarily. If the Japanese press him he will retire from Liao Rang to Mukden. or even to Harbin. Retreat certainly is painful. but it Is now indispensable"

THE FIGHT AT wIJU.
Story from the Scene of the
 Fray

Wiju, May 1, via Seoul. May S-when the early mist drifted from the Yalu river this morning the Japanese infantry was disclosed lined up for battle on the low sandy island of KInteito, which is In front of Wiju. The walls and tow srs of the city on the hill, rising abrupt ly from the south bank of the river and the nearest of the three channels. were crowded with Japanese and Korean spec tators of the forthcoming attack.
 Kinteito Inlet Is hardly anything more lhan the dry bed of the river. It is a tow sandy plain only a few feet above the level of the water and without shrub bery or cover except on it's southern half
 Infantry lay with stacked arms across the island awaiting their work. The soldiers were spread out in their black lines three miles long from a point on the island opposite the village of Chiu Lien Cheng on the west to a point op- posite the extremity of the Tigers Head on the east. The division of the Im- perial Guards occupied the center of the and third on the east of the line.
 The Tigers Head forms a ,ar,n.,,I. projecting into the river almost naranel to the south bank.

 Two batteries began the action hv throwing smells to the Manchurfan side of the river for half an hour while th. sun was rising. They sprinkIad ,,,.h shells the embankments whence tha p,,. sian guns had been firing for the nsst week. but no response to their fire r-a,- forthcoming and it looked as if tne pus sians had removed their batteries 6urin. the night
 It seemed as if the enemy had u,t,b drawn entirely as no signs of life conId he seen on their works. Soon after ' o'clock the Japanese began to advance The distance from the Korean to the Manchurian bank of the Yalu is about two miles. The Japanese troops spread out in extended formation as they went forward.

 Tn the meantime the Japanese batteries searched the hills with shrapnel
 The Russians could now be seen at In- tervals where the road was exposed hurrying in small squads among the hills These exposed stretches of the road made fine targets for the Japanese gunners A fierce fire was concentrated on one open space. half the shrapnel thrown bursting over q small area with wonderful pre- clsion. There was a perfect shower of puffs of white smoke at this place and the observers could see the work of an occasional shell as 1t dug a great hole in the earth and scattered quantities of rock.

NO FRESH COLLISION.
Cossacls in Touch With Japs Merely
 Making Observations.

St Petersburg. May 1O,--(8:4o a. m.) --The war commission adjourned at a late hour this morning, but did not make public any despatches from the Far East. This Is accepted as an in- dication that no fresh collisions have occurred. The Cossacks in touch with the Japanese are simply small detach- ments which are observing the move- ments of the enemy in order to keep General Kuropatkin informed.
 The strict censorship prevented the St. Petersburg newspapers from re- ceiving despatches to-day. and the lack of information gave rise to a fresh crop of rumors, including one that the armored cruiser Rurik had been des- troyed. The officials deny that any in- formation of this character has been received, saying that the latest reports showed that the Rurik was undamaged and was in the harbor of Vladivostok.

 Washington. May .. As we'll as can be determined here, there are two strong forces projected from their respective headquarfern against the instruction of State de1e- gations to St. Louis.
 Undoubtedly the Hearst propaean- da having run It's course and reached It's limit in obtaining delegates to St Louis instructed for William R. Hearst. has now turned it's attention to com- batting instructions in every State that has yet to choose delegates. All hope of success has been quite abandoned by the Hearst people. They are fiaht- ing to get a third of the delegates Just la little over one-third of the delegates to the St. Louis convention have been already chosen. Of these Parker has nearly twice as many as all the other candidates combined. In other words. 34s delegates have been 90 far chosen, divided as follows: Parker, 20f; olney. 32; Hearst, es: German, 1x; uncommitted. 32.
 It Is safe to say. that the delegates or delegations that are not for Hearst on first choice will not be for himEat any stage of the game. while tho chances are that on second choice the Oiney and German delegates already and hereafter chosen will go to the New York man. tnsuring his nonaina- ton.
 Making Desperate Efforts.
 The Hearst people win make desper- ate efforts to capture one of the Mid- de Western States. and for that end will make effort in each of them, hop- ing to land big enough delegation in one of them with any pohetb1e Bry- an help to defeat the nonl1Atzhts of Judge Parker or any other candidate who seems to represent the set tosstis-

 There has been great talk within the past few days. especiAfIy indnfxed by the German and Hearst people, largely encouraged by the Republican press news writers. to the effect that there has been q sagging of the Parker boom.
 They point to the fact that other States following New York are show ing an indisposition to instruct for the choice of that State. Diligent in- ouiry on this ground are from those who visit Washington from the States concerned shows no diminution of the trend toward Judge Parker.
 The Notes of Discord.
 There are two vigorous notes of dis- cord to be heard whenever his chances are discussed. and they come from Hearst and Republican sources. Tte Republican press Is demonstrating the liveiiest kind of sympathy and activ- ity in promulgating everything possi- ble to magnify the Hearst and Bryan strength and to minimize the Parker forces.
 A prominent sound Democrat said tonight: Every Southern State that does not instruct her delegation helps the Hearst disturbances, If not in the State electing delegates. 1t pro- notes his mischief making elsewhere. What the South does Is golne to have tremendous influence in this contest. The Tact Is the South is going to pick the candidate and the winner.s
