DEPENDENT
ON CHARITY
Thousands of Texas Flood Victims Suf
fering for Food Governor's Fig
ures Show That Not Exceeding
Fifty Persons Were Drowned.
Aistin, Tex., July 8. Governor Say
ers elated tonitiht to an Associated Press
correspondent that, judging from all re
ports he hail leceived officially from
fl joded districts, there had been great
loss of property, both personal and cor
porate, that hundreds of people had
been bereft of their homes and belong
ings, and that at present there were in
the neighborhood of 43,000 pecple, the
majority of them being negroes, who
were dependent on public charity for
lustenaiice. The suffering of water
bound refugees has been very great.
The governor figures that the loss of
life has been comparatively small, not
exceedingly fifty persons. The heaviest
farm losses will fall upon the owners of
Ihetiig plantations in the bottoms, who
have lost all their crops, and much of
their personal property, and are not be
ing protected in the distribution of
charity, which is being expended only
among the poor.
Up to tonight, Governor Savers has
received ?3iJ,00l) in money contributions
from this state, and from the east. In
addition thereto he has sent out several
carloads of groceries, which have been
donated by different cities of the state.
Tliesitiiatinn is being well bandied now,
everything having gotten down to sys
tematic precision, and the governor
stated tonight that by tomomw every
hungry month in Texas would be looked
after. The waters are fast subsiding.
Call for Assistance.
St Louis, July 8. A special to the
Post-Dispatch from Dallas sayt Gover
nor Sayers requests the press to state
that in addition to money, all character
of clothing ar.d provisions are needed in
the fljod districts. He suggests that
persons contributing sncli articles com
municate with him before shipments
are made in order that intelligent dis
tribution may be had. About $100,000
in money i,nd nip). lies has been contri
buted, but many times that much is
needed. A telegram received today from
JulifT, in the Fort Bend country, says
600 people are in danger of drowning at
that place.
A Bpecial to the Republic from Cald
well, Tex., says: Estimates made by
competent cotton-buyers us to the
damage resulting to the cotton in the
Brszos valley, tax the credulity of those
not familiar with the flood conditions.
Not less than 200 square miles of cotton
bearing land has been flooded. Every
acre of it would have produced a big
le. Hating the loss on 6 cent figures,
the crops destroyed on these plantations
ere worth almost $4,000,000. Well
informed persons are of the opinion that
tint unprecedented rise in the Braxot
hs cost the people of Texal little less
than 110.000,000.
Thousands of mules have been
drowned, all of the domestic animals,
rented houses and negro quarter have
been swept away, the gins are nearly
H ruined and hundreds of plantation
tores, carrying a big stock of general
jnerehandise, are under water. Not a
""dge has escaped, and not a train has
passed over the S.mta Fe railroad from
"reiihani and Milano for a week.

ADMIRAL CERVERA
Xot Yet Acquitted, but Will Not Be

Madrid, July 8. It is now said the
conrt-tnartial did not actually acquit
Admiral Cervera and the other officeis
tried in connection with the destruction
of the Spanish fleet offSantiago de Cuba,
July 3, 1898, by the fleet under the
command of Admiral Sampson, but
postponed judgment and released them,
which is regarded as equivalent to an
acquittal. Only Captain Moren, of the
Cristobal Colon, and General Parado,
who was on hoard the Cristobal Colon,
will be prosecuted.
An official dispatch from Manila says
that thirty Spanish military prisoners
and seventeen civilians, who were held

He Had a Tired Feeling
New Voiik, July 7. Secretary of War
Alger was a spectator of the Columbia
Defender acht race. Afterward, being
interviewed, he said:
"About the war, we are mov:ng along
as expeditiously as possible, and the re
cruiting of many regiments has been or
dered. Put yon have published all that."
"What will be done to aid the sufferers
by the Texas floods?"
"The war department will promptly
render all reasonable aid that it can.
Orders to that effect have been given."
"Is there anything new about your re
ported probable resignation from the
cabinet or about the United States sen
atorship from your state?" the reporter
asked.
A wearied expression overspread the
secretary's face, and with a somewhat
sharp "good night," be turned on his
heel and rapidly walked away.

Medicine.?
From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad,
N. C.
It may be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
pubiicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as nreventive of suffering
we feel it a duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera Bnd Diar
rhoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family tor
twenty years ami have always found it
reliable. In many cases a dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while a physician it awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for a cure, but we do
believe tnat If a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Remedy was kept on hand
and administered at the Inception of an
attack, much suffering might be avoided
ami in very many cases the presence of
a physician would not be required. At
U-sst this has been our experience
during tbo past twenty years. For sale

THE PLAN
.Transports Wilt Orean Soliiers Ordered
to Astcria.
THERE THEY TAKE
THE RIVER BOATS
The Muster-Out Will Be at Vancouver
Where Will the Jubilee Be Held?
Washington, Jnly 8. An order of the
secretary of war, issued today, sends the
Oregon regiment to Astoria on the trans
ports Newport and Ohio. There they
will lie transferred to river steamers
chartered by the quartermaster's depart
ment and taken to Vancouver for muster
out. It js stated at the war department that
the reason why the transports do not go
uptne Columbia river is because two
days will be saved, as they can im
mediately return to San Francisco, and
take troops back to Manila. If the troops
are mustered out and paid off at Van
couver, they will carry their arms with
them to that place.
Under the order of today, they will
not even be unloaded at Sao Frar.cieco,
and consequently cannot be mustered
out there. Whether this order will re
main in effect up to the time the troops
arrive is a matter of doubt.
The order issued today by the secretary
of war was after consultation with Com
missioner Hermann and upon his recom
mendation. He says that is the best
that can be secured, and that the jubilee
and reception of troops w ill take place
at Astoria. This w ill not be possible if
the transports chartered by the quarter
master's department are on hand and
ready to take the troops to their destina
tion. General Corbin s Telegram.
Salem, Or., July 8. The following
telegram was received today at the gov
ernor's office:

which has just been sent to the com
manding general at San Francisco, as
follows: 'The secretary of war directs
that the Oregon troops be sent to Astoria
on tlui transports on which they arrive
from Manila. On reaching Astoria they
will be transferred to transports provided
by the citizens of Portland, and the Ohio
and Newport will be returned with all
possible speed to San Francisco and be
placed In readiness for the return trip to
Manila.'

REMARKABLE
STATEMENTS
American Minister in Japan Writes
a Most Sensational Letter to Bos
ton, Alleging That Neither Dewey

Boston, July 7. Rev. Clay McCanley
has written a letter to the Transcrip
dated at Tokia, Japan, June 1 Mr. Mc
Canley declares that Admiral Dewey

Mr. McCauley visited Manila in Juny ,
in search of health. Of hit views there
be writes : "For a lone- time I couid not
believe that the disastrous drift of events
j was known to the Washington authori
ties. I was inclined to lay tne responsi
bility for the increasing perils upon the
military commander directly in charge.
Yet, now it seems clear to tne that
(ieneri, o, , did the work in (he main
, . , r i ..nedience to his superiors in
America ; that there it was assumed that
ltie w hole riuht and duty coin eming
,)H (mure disposition and control of the
hili pi island lay in the wishes and
will of the United States; that what the
Filipinos themselves might wish need
not be taken into the account in formu
lating plans for their government."
The writer bad a talk with General
Otis. "Among other things," said Mr.
McCauley, "General Otis expressed re
gret that there was not a better knowl
edge id the situation among the Wash
ington legislators than there seemed to
tie. And he impressed me deeply by lilt
declaration: 'I wat ordered to thit
pott from Sao Francisco. I did not be
lieve in the annex ttion of these islands
when I cunt here, nor do I believe in
their annrxttioo now.'
I alto had the privilegent a convert
t on with Ad-niral Dewey," the writer
lays, and gives this version of il : "IVwer
tpoke much of bit concern over the turn
affairs bad taken and added that be wat
'powerlett to act.' Yet in one point in
hit remarks be declared : 'Rather than
make a w ir of conquest on ihese people

THE OLD WAY
Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion
by Dieting a Dangerous and
Useless One.
We say the old way, but really it it a
very common one at the present time
and many dyspeptics and physicians at
well consider the first step to take in
attempting to cure indigestion is to diet,
either by selecting certain foods nnd re
jecting others or to greatly diminish
the quantity usually taken; in other
worda the starvation plan it supposed by
many to be the first essential.
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure has been proven time
and again, but still the moment dyspep
sia makes its appearance a course of
dieting Is at once advised.
All thisis radically wrong. It is foolish
and unscientific to recommend dieting
to a man suffering from dyspepsia, tie
cause indigestion itself starves every
organ, every nerve and every fibre in the
body'.
What the dyspeptic wants is abundant
nutrition, which means plenty of good,
wholesome well-cooked lood, and tome
thing to assist the weak stomach to di
gest it. This is exactly the purpose lor
which St nun's Dyspepsia Tablets are
adauted and this is the method by which
they cure the worst etees of dyspepsia;
in other words the p.itient eats plenty
of wholesome frod and Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablet! digests it for him. In
this way the system is nourished and the
overworked stomach rested, because the
tablets will digest the food whether the
stomach works or not. One of these
tablets will digest 3,000 grains of meat
or eirgs.
Your druggist will tell you that
Stuart's Tablets is the purest and safest
remedy for stomach troubles and every
trial makes one more friend for this ex
cellent preparation. Sold at 50 centt
