produced a painful impression in polit

Came Near Going Ashore.
Astoria, Sept. 3. The British ship
Otterspool, twenty-seven days from
Honolulu, which arrived in this morn
ing, bad a narrow escape from going
ashore on Tillamook rock Friday noon.
Captain Reid states that a thick fog pre
vailed, and the vessel was making for
the month of the river, when all at once
the lookont shouted, "Breakers ahead."
The helm was pnt hard down and it was
found that the ship was only about
three lengths from the rock. The wind
was favorable and the Otterspool soon
sailed out of danger. Captain Reid said
that for some reason no fog horn was
blowing ou the rock. ' Soon afterward
he heard the lightship's foghorn blowing
at the month of the river.
Captain Reid was compelled to ship a
green crew of Japanese from Honolulu,
it being impossible to get white men.
The Japanese were shipped by the har
bor police.and Captain Reid was aesnred

REPORTS FROM OUR CONSULS
Majority of Peace Commission are Op
posed to Giving Up Fruits of Our
.Victory in the Orient.
Washington, Sept. 3 Private letters
from our consols nbroad indicate that
the Philippines must be retained if the
United States desires to maintain its po
sition in the world of nationj. A very
prominent officer in the consular service
davs:
You people may as well make up
yonr minds to be somebody or get off
the earth." "-'
These reports ehow that our people
abroad feel that they most do something
thing to maintain their position. If, af
ter such a successful war as has been
fought and won, we should sacrifice every
thing wo have secured, nations abroad
would have very little respect for us
Our consuls not only write iu favor of
the retention of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines, but are aleo anxious
that the Nicaragua canal should be
built, and that a navy commensurate
with the development of the country
should be built and maintained.
As to the sentiment of congress and of
the people, it Beems to be . all going one
way. If Dewey had not won the great
victory of May 1st at Manila, congress
never wonld have passed the resolutions
annexing the Hawaiian islands. At
least, it conld not have been put through
at the last session of congress. , The peo
ple who voted for the annexation, who
bad been opposed to it heretofore, did
so because they thought the Philippines
would be ours after Dewey's victory.
The personnel of this commission in
dicates that such will be the case. Secre
tary Dav may be for or against retention
He will do whatever the president wants
at the time, and will be the mouth-piece
of the president at the Paris tribunal.
He will no doubt be in cable communi
cation with the president every day on
the subject, and whatever the president
wants at the particular time the com'

ACCIDENT TO
THE
IOWA
Engine Room Said to Hare Been
Partly Flooded During the Pro
cess of Floating the Big
' Battle-ship.
New York, Sept. 5. The Tribune
says : ' f
An accident ocenred on the battle
ship Iowa yesterday in drydock No. 3, at
the Brooklyn navy-yard the, extent of
which conld not he learned last night
on acconnt of the reticence of the officers
of the yard.' It was reported that the
engine-rooms of the Iowa were partly
flooded by the entrance of water throngh
an open sea cock as the ship was being
floated.
As near as conld be learned from the
stories afloat last night, the officials got
ready to float the Iowa in the drydock,
where she had betn for the last three or
four days, and the valves in the caiseon
at the end of the drydock were opened.
The water poured in throngh the valves
and at least one of the Bea cocks or in
jection valves in the Iowa's hull was
either open or insecurely fastened, so
that the force from' the outside pushed
the cock valve back and the water
gushed into the hnll of the vessel.
As soon as those on board the Iowa
discovered that water was entering the
ship a signal was given to close the
caisson valves, and this was done with
as great promptness as possible. Mean
while there was sufficient water in the
dock to enter the engine-room of the
battle-ship, and it was impossible to
promptly force the cock shot while the
water was going in.
As Boon as possible the cocks were
closed and an examination was made of
the damage. Just what the damage
amounts to will not be known until today
It was said that enough water was not
let into the dock to come any way near
floating the ship, and that she is resting
on her keel blocks the same as she was
before the water 'was turned on. The
pumping of the water oat of the dock is
a matter of only a short time, and the
officers seen wonld not admit that any
accident toad taken place. -

TBS EXCELLENCE OF SY2DP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fio Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding' the worthless
imitations manufactured by other pa
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fjo Syhuf Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the same of

FOR OFFICERS

Rear Admiral of the North Atlantic to
Receive 40,000 Dewey and His
Men to Receive 187,500.
. New York, Sept. 5. A Washington
special says : .
At least $1,00 J, 000 prize money will
be distributed among the American sail
ors as a reeult of the war' with Spain.
More than one-hall of this amonnt will
be paid in (C3ordance with that section
of the Uw providing for the payment of
a bounty for persons on board vessels of
war sunk in action. The lesult will be
tnrned into the treasury for distribution
by the courts, which shall pass upon
vessels of tlie enemy captured by Amer
ican men-of-war.
From the official report of Admiral
Monte jo, commanding the Spanish fleet
sunk at Manila, thero were 1875 persons
on the ships of his command. The
American squadron and Admiral Dew
eyV men will get only $ 100 for each per
son. "
It is estimated the aggregate amount
dne the Asiatic flet as the result of the
Spanisn forces is fl87,ouu, which con
gress will be asked to appropriate dur
ing the coming session. One-twentieth
of the sum beiongs to Admiral Dewey as
commander-in-chief, and he will, there
fore, be $9375 richer than he was before
the war.
Rear-Admiral Sampson has realized a
snug little fortune as a result of the war
As commander-in chief of the North At
lantic fleet he will get one-twentieth of
the head money allowed for the vessels
destroyed off Santiago ' and in Cuban
ports. It is estimated that he will final
ly receive about $40,000 as his share of
the prize money.
In determining the amount of bead
money due officers and men, it will be
necessary for the department to decide
whether a vessel destroyed is superior
or inferior, to her an tagonist. If the lat
ter, the American ship will be entitled
to $200 for each person on board the
enemy. ' Of course, tins will swell tne
amount of prize money due the rear-
admiral. '

SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle of Santiago de
Cot W'ero all Heroes Their IJerolc
Kfforts In Getting Ammunition and
Itatlona to the Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Sandiago, De Cuba, on
July 23J, says : "We all had diarrhoea
in more or lees violent form, and when
we landed we bad no time to see a
doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush
night and day to keep the troops sup
plied with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to
keep nt work and keep our health ; in
fact, I sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that a wagon train could nse. My com
rad and myself had the good fortune to
lay in a supply of this medicine for out
pack-train before we left Tampa, and I
know in four cases it -absolutely eaved
life."

Deafness Cannot be Cureit
by local applications, aa they cannot
reach tbe diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafuesa is tht result, and
nnless the inflammation can be taken
ont and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
