Awful Marine Disaster.
Southampton, March 31. The passen
ger steamer Stella, plying between this
port and the Channel island, crashed
ripen the dreaded Cafqnet rocks, near
the island of Alderney, yesterday after
noon, iu a dense fog, and foundered in
ten minuWs. Her boilers exploded with
a tremendous report as the went down.
The coasting earner Lynx, which
brought, tho ne'ws of the disaster here,
picked up four boats and forty persons.
It is estimated that 120 persons were
drowned.
The second officer of the steamer, who
was among the rescued, says a collapsible
bont was launched full of people, but he
thinks it struck on the rocks, owing to
the fog. Another steamer has picked up
a boat containing forty-five persons, in
cluding twenty women who escaped from
the wrecked steamer.
The Stella had on board 210 paesengers,
who were going to spend Easter in the
Channel island-.

Xegro
Vancoitvkr, Wash., March 30. The
troops ordered to take station here, con
sisting of one company of the Twenty
fourth infantry, are expected to leave
Salt Lake Saturday and are looked for
on Monday. The report that there is
general feeling against the colored
soldiers here is erroneous. On the con
trary it may be said that the people of
Vancouver are patriotic and know no
color line. The colored soldiers will be
as warmly welcomed in both city and
barracks as would any company of while
soldiers.
A COMMISSION

Upon.
W AMiiNOTov, March 31. A modus

troubles has been proposed and is now
under favorable consideration by the
threo governments concerned. It con
templates the creation of a joint high
commission consisting of one member
of each country, to pais upon the recent
clash of authority aiiu resulting dis

put forward by Germeny, and is the
second one submitted for the settlement

MAC ARTHUR'S
ARMY RESTS

Paimipit.
RESIDENTS OF
MALOLOS RETURN
Chinese Say Aguinaldo Has
Only 1500
Rebels to
Troops With Him Xo
Be Seen.
Manila, April 1. The American
lorces commanueu by Mao Arthur are
resting at Malolos today. The men are
in good condition, considering the
fatigues of the campaign. The plans of
the rebels, if they have any, are con
jtfdural.
Considerable rebel forces have been
illected along the front of Law ton and
Hall, who are holding the line from the
water, works to La Lonia. There is
shooting nightly along this lice, appar
ently for the purpose cf breaking the
Atnecicans' sleep. Consequently Law
ton has detailed five sharpshooters from
each company to attend to the rebels,
and the Americana are picking off num
bers of them.
It Is reported that 3000 rebels under
Pilar are concentrated at Cainta and
Taytay.
General King this morning sent out a
reconnoitering party of two companies of
the North Dakota regiment, and a brisk
engagement followed, during which
seven Filipinos were killed. On the
American side a lieutenant and two
privates were wounded.
Manila, April 1. The reconnolssance
by the Americans extended as far as
Cilumpit. It is expected the tuovo will
be inado there tomorrow.
Residents of Malolos, who fled in panic
when the Americans took the town, are
returniLg, and are glad the Americans
are in charge, as the city is absolutely
quiet. Scouts can find no trace of Tagale,
but peaceful residents who desiie Aguin
aldo to surrender are maltreated by the.n.
The Chinese reedents say Aguinuldo has
only 1500 troops with him, as the
desertions have been tremendous
Beyond San Fernando, Aguinaldo can
not well go, as the hostile tribes of Tarlac
and Pangasinan will cut him off.
The railroad from Manila stops at San
Fernando, and the Americans will haye
no trouble in pursuing that far, as is
Otis' plan at present. The Chinese say
that four American prisoners, H. Huber,
William Uiuce, A. 8onrichen and E.
Hoi eymann, were tortured and taunted
in public, but I Hen disappeared, iso
trace of them can now be found.
A detachment of Kansas troops has
gone to ISuiacan to releaeo Spanish
prisoners held by rebels.
Heavy Fighting Ended.
Washington, April 1. War depart
ment officials here are very much
gratified at conditions in the Philippines.
It is understood from Otis' dispatches
that there Is little left of Agninaldo's
army, and that bis troops do not want
to again face the American soldiers. It
is believed Otis now has the situation
well in hand, and that theonly opposition
H Ms advance will be by small and
isolated bodies ct insurgents, which will
easily be overcome by the American
troops.

SCRAMBLE
FOR LAND
Building Lots in Demand at Centcr
ville, Wash.
CK.NTERVii.i.it, Wash., April 1. This
was a lively day for Centerviile. Surveyor
Jacob Itlchardson, of Goldenuale, has
been a visitor for three dayp, locating the
lownBite which will cover forty acres
and be entered on before Commissioner
Presby under the "townsite act." The
scramble for lots was as general as it was
Thursday, but there were no collisions,
At one time in the procedure when one
man would enclose a lot with a fence,
and another man would tear it awav, it
looked as if there would be trouble.
Surveyor Richardson's presence cooled
the "hot heads." The surveys have
progressed so far that owners of buildings
mar be able to locate on the lot upon
which the improvements have been made
and get a good title to the land in case
the new entry is sustained by the
United States land deoardnent.
CUBANS
MUST HURRY
Our Offer of 53,000,000 is Not to Stand
Indefinitely.
Washington, April 2. It was reiter
ated tonight by two members of the cab
inet that no consideration will be paid
to any proposition for money for the
Cuban army outside the $3,000,000 fund
now awaiting their acceptance, and, fur
thermore, it is hinted that if too much
trouble and deliberate delay cccurs, pre
liminary to that amount being turned
over to the Cubans, the $3,000,000 may
be withdrawn and no payir.ent of any
sort made by this government on account
of Cuban troops. No proposition for an
additional sum will be considered, in
any form.
Kain in Grant County.
Lono Ckrek, March 30. Northern
Grant county was visited during the
thirty-six hours ended Tuesday by a
warm rain, which causing the snow to
disappear on the hillsides, and the grass
to start on the lower plains. In some
sections plowing is being done. Ac
cording to reports from orchardists,
many fruit trees have been killed, and
it is believed that the strawherry crap
will be light.
Much trouble is h vl by farmers in se
curing seed grains, owing to the scarcity
resulting from feeding whole grain to

CHIEF MOSES
IS DEAD
Pissed Away antic CMe Iteration
A FAMOUS
OLD CHIEF
He Possessed Much Land and Drew an
Annuity From the Government.
Seattle, Marca 31. A Post Intelli
geucer special from (Jreston, Wash., says
Chief Moses, the well-known Indian,
died at his home on theColville reserva
tion last Saturday.
Spokane, March 31. Moses was really
head chief ot all the Indians on the Col
ville reservation, about 2000, including
his band of the Coluuibias, the Okano
gans, Lakes, Colvilles, Neepelims and
San Poils. He lived near the Nespelim
subagency, about three miles frr.m
Joseph's place, He was quite well off
in land and stock, and for several yeais
had been drawing an annuity of flOCO
fro n the government.
He was seventy-five or eighty years of
age, though that is largely a matter of
guesswork, as none of the older Indians
know their own ages. He came of a
fighting stock. His father was killed in
an Indian war in Montana, and he was
on the warpath in that state, and was
repeatedly wounded In battle. Later, he
was in the Indian battles on the Columbia
river west of Spokane.
Moses remained at peace, though,
during the Nez Purees war. He was
urged by Joseph to join f rees with him,
but refined. Hd afterwards said that he
wavered, but finally decided to remain
at peace with the whites.
Moses was a large man, and when in
health would weigh 210 pounds. He
had a remarkable head, said to be like
Henry Ward Beecl.er's. fie bad one
daughter, but n son. His only son was
drowned a few years ago in the rapids of
the Columbia, near Fort Spokane.

in a perilous condition. Its army bus
been defeated, discouraged and let
tered. Tho insurgents returning to
their homes in the cities and villages

have reached desire the prot.ctioit of

Rebels Not Located.
New Yokk, April 3. A diqtch to
the Herald from Manila says: R-ftfd
efforts to locate the insurgent army in
front of Malolos have been niiKiicressful,
nnd our forces are therefore still renting
in the former Filipino capital.
The attack 0.: the forces under Gen
eral Hall at Mariquina suggests that the.
enemy is concentrating in that direction.
Colonel Denby's arrival makes the early
issue of the proclamation of the Philip
pine commission probable.
THE OLD WAY
Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion
by Dieting a Dangerous and
Useless One.
We sny the old way, but really it is a
very common one at the present time
and many dyspeptics and physicians us
well, consider the first step to take in
attempting to cure indigestion is to diet,
either by selecting certain foods and re
acting others or to greatly diminUh the
quantity usually taken, in other words,
the starvation plan is by many supposed
to be the first essential.
The almost certain failure of tho star
vation cure for dysvepeia has been
proven time an I again, but still the
moment dyspepsia makes its appearance
a course of dieting is at once advised.
All this is radically wrong. It is fool
ish and unscientific to recommend diet
ing or starvation to a man suffering I rom
dyspepsia, lecausi indigestion itself
starves every organ and every nerve and
every fibre in the body.
What the dyspeptic wants is abun
dant nutrition, which means plenty of
good, holesome, well cooked food and
something to assist the weak stomach
to digest it. This is exactly the purpose
for which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
adapted and this is the method by which
they sure the worst dues of dyspepsia,
in other wordi th) patie.it) eU plenty
of wholesome food and Stuart's Dit
pepsi Tablets digest it for him. In this
way the system is nourished and tho
overworked stomach rested, becnase the
tablets will digest tht food whether the
stomach work" or not. On of these
tablets will di.ett 3,000 gra1n9 of meat
or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the purest
and safest remedy for stomach troubles
and every trial makes one n ore fiiend
