State Department Does Not
Believe Warship Necessary
To Enforce Settlement.

CoinCident with its ripening Nicara-
guam troubles. it may be said on good
authority that the United States Gov
eminent todsy does not expect serious
difficulties with Chile in the settlement
OF the Ioug-standing AIsop claim.
The return Of Minister Dawson from
Chile, it is understood. is brought about
much by reason OF the fact the minister
has no work to DO. Il the Chilean gov
eminent agrees to a protocol for the
reference Of the entire matter to The
Hague. as proposed, il is explained in
State Department circles the minister
would have no further functions to per
form with regard TO the controversy.
The same applies If adjustment of the
claim finally is refused by that gov
eminent
No Real Breach.
The Withdrawal of the minister. il is
made plain, is not to be taken as a
severance Of diplomatic relations be-
/ tween the two countries, but rather as
a means of protest against the long de-
lay in handling the entire proposition
No ultimatum has been given Chile nor
is 1t probable the Chilean diplomatic
representative here will be withdrawn.
On the other hand 1t is said Minister
Dawson and the government OF Chile
| have been unable TO agree upon form
OF protocol by which he matter can
| be placed under the jurisdiction Of The
/ Hague, and the minister's stay in that
/ country would be useless one.
Warship Unnecessary.
What further steps will be taken to
ward adjusting the claim. now Of thirty
] five years duration, remains to be seen.
but an official at the Stale Department
/ today said the possibility OF a warship
being sent TO Chile was most remote.
| At the same time the opinion is ex-
! pressed Chile will hesitate TO place her
self in the category of Nicaragua as an
I intern8 tiOnaI distuTber, and this feeling
/ in itself justifles the belief in Diplomatic
quarters an agreement of some kind will
soon be reached nov that the United
States had made plain its attitude as
| TO continued delay Of SO important a
matter.

The Proof That Newtown Readers
 Cannot Deny.

What could furnish stronger eyi- denee of the efficiency of any remedy than the test of time, Thousands of people testify that Doan's Kidney Kidney Pills cure permanently.
 Grateful endorsements should prove undoubtedly the merits of this remedy. Years ago people right in this locality testified to the relief they had derived from the use of Deans Kidney Pills. They now eon- firm their testimonials, They say that time has completed the test.
 John Gelder, f95 North Avenue, Bridgeport, Conn, says: About two years ago l publicly recommended DOan's Kidney Pills and at this time l have nothing to retract from that statement. believe this remedy will do as much for other sufferers from kidney trouble as it has done for me-" Statement given in Sep tember, 190S.)
 On December go, 1905, MT Gelder said: q suffered from kidney trouble evidenced by backaches and pains in my loins. When l caught cold the trouble was worse than ever and though tried various remedies, I derivd no benefit. finally com menced taking Doans Kidney Pills and was completely cured"

of a young woman named Hazel George.

inent resident of that city.
The girl said that McMullen was her
husband, but it is not known IL a big
amous marriage was performed. 1t is
said the girl was enticed away under
promise of marriage.
Mem ullen wa s employed as a liuenna n
