COTTON FOR SAN DOMINGO
Man with Experience Expected to Be
Made Head of the Collection
Service There.

Washington, April Sit is probable
that when secretary Taft returns he
will designate G. r. Cotton as chief of
the Dominican collection service and
that three or more assistants, who
have had experience in the insular
possessions, will be appointed to per-
form the work of collecting the Do
minican revenues under Mr.. Colton's
supervision.
DIR. William B. Gould, of Baltimore,
who was appointed as deputy collector
of customs in San Domingo, has de-
clined the place. After discussing the
matter with officials here, DR.. Gould
announced that he believed better re-
suits would be obtained by the selec-
ton of a man like Cotton for chief of
the service because of the experience
he has had in the Philippines and his
familiarity with the people, who are
similar to those in Santo Domingo.
Dr. Gould's position was that the selec-
ton of the man should be made with
regard to the interests of the govern
ment, and for that reason he will not
accept the position. DR.. Gould could
have had one of the subordinate posi-
tions, but he did not care to go to
Santo Domingo in that capacity.

CONDENSED FORM.
THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST
Progress of Hostilities Between Rus

RUsso-JAPANEsE WAR.

Russia has indirectly made known
to Japan the negative conditions upon
which peace may be concluded, name
ly, no cession of territory and no in
demnity, leaving Japan to determine
whether negotiations can be begun
upon that basis. b.. f..
Neither Russia nor Japan have
asked President Roosevelt to assist
them in ending the war. So far as the
Washington government is aware En-
peror Nicholas has not yet weakened
in his announced decision Ito prose
cute the war to the bitter end
Ambassador Jusserand of France Wis
tied President Roosevelt and afterward
announced that there is no prospect OF
peace, both Russia and Japan desiring
to continue the war.
The car is reported to have said
that if he signs peace he cannot re-
main the car. This remark may
mean that he will abdicate or call en-
the people to share the responsibilities
of government.
The Russian imperial commission
of prosecuting the war, favors contin-
uation of the war, finding nothing in the
present situation either financial or
military to prevent its prosecution.
Gen. Kuropatkin blames defeat at
Mukden on ten generals, among them
Bilderling.
The japanese again advanced, the
Russian rear guard falling back to 40
miles below Gunshu pass.
Russian officers report that the value
of the supplies abandoned and burned at
Mukden was S1,750,000.
The new Japanese war loan is heav-
lily oversubscribed in the financial CEN
tiers of the United States, while the
rush for the bonds is even greater in

represent the savings of the masses,
there being twenty million holders of
life insure nee policies in the country,
as many more of fire insurance poll

tutions, where investments are large

ATOMS FOR JOURNEY.
Executive Will Attend Reunion Of
Rough Riders in Texas-Mem-
bers of the Party.

Washington, April 3.-President
Roosevelt is finishing preparations for
his far western trip. Monday he will
leave for San Antonio, Tex, and after a
visit there with his rough riders will
go to Colorado Springs, and thence to
Glenwood Springs. In Colorado, near
the Mount of the Holy Cross, he will
spend a month hunting. This cele-
brated peak of the Rocky mountains is
in Eagle county, 10 miles northwest
of .Leadville The president and his
party will be below it. The peak is
14,0O6 feet high, and it derives its name
from two now-filled ravines which cross
each other at right angles and present
from a distance the appearance of a
white cross.
The party will include, besides Mr..
Roosevelt, Attorney General w. H.
Moody, Private Secretary Loeb, several
white house stenographers and repre-
sentatives of the press associations.
After leaving Washington, April g.,

day, at Louisville, where he will be the

From Louisville he will go to the south
west. There will, however, be stops
along the way. The first of these will be
at st. Louis. The most notable will be
at Muskogee and South McAlester, in
Indian territory.
The president expects to arrive at San
Antonio the evening of April and re-
main there over the following day. At
San Antonio he will take part in the an
nual reunion of the rough riders. Fort
Worth will be visited April 8, and there
the president will deliver the last ad-
dress on the trip. Thereafter his time
will be devoted to the chase.

will really begin when he leaves Fort
Worth. At the latter city he will be re-
joined by Col. John NJ Simpson and
Sloan Simpson and escorted to the
Simpson ranch, at Bovina, in the Texas
panhandle. Several days will be spent
there in hunting and fishing. The
length of the stay may depend largely on
presidential luck.

CHILDREN AFFECTED
By Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launche..
into life with constitutions weakened
by disease taken in with their moth
er's milk. Mothers cannot be too care
full as to the food they use while nurs-
ing their babes. The experience of
Kansas City mother is a case in point:
Il was great coffee drinker from a
child, and thought l could not eat a
meal without it. But found at last
it was doing me harm. For years |
had been troubled with dizziness, spots
before my eyes and pain in my bsart,
to which was added, two years ago,
chronic sour stomach. The baby was
born Z months ago, and almost from
the beginning, it, too. suffered from
sour stomach. She was taking it from
me!
I'm my distress l consulted a friend
of more experience than mine, and she
told me to quit coffee, that coffee did
not make good milk have since ascer-
tanned that it really dries up the milk.
so, l quit coffee, and tried tea and
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then l turned to Postum Cof-
fee with the happiest results. 1t
proved to be the very thing needed.
1t not only agreed perfectly with baby
and myself, but it increased the flow
iof my milk. My husband then quit
coffee and used Postum, quickly got
we'll of the dyspepsia with which he
had been troubled I no longer suf-
fer from the dizziness, blind spells,
pain in my heart or sour stomach.
Postum has cured them.
Now we all drink Postum, from my
husband to my seven-months'
baby. 1t has proved to be the best hot
drink we have ever used. We would
not give up Postum for the best cof-
fee we ever drank" Name given by
