A PHILIPPINE HEROINE.
One of the Philippine Insurgent leaders Is a
beautiful woman whose life seems to tie
charmed. She has often rushed bravely Into
the very teeth of death from guns and cannon,
but has never been wonnded. Frequently we
see people In this country who live so long
that their lives seem charmed also, but the
only charm about it is that they keepnp their
strength and vitalise their blood with that
celebrated remedy, Bostetter's Stomach
Bitters.
The word "hairbreadth," now used

SPAIN PREPARING
Measures Are Taken to
Quell Any Dis
turbance. PROCLAIM STRICT CENSORSHIP
the Government Apparently Is About
to Sue for Peace Minister Coma's
Bold Talk-Forbidden to Publish
Amj Writings Without Authority.
Madrid, July 18. A decree has been
published suspending throughout Spain
the lights of individuals as guaranteed
by the constitution. The government
wishes to have full power to suppress
evidences of discord or rebellion which
might appear.
The decree of the captain-general of
Madrid says decrees suspending the
constitutional guarantee throughout the
kingdom have, been published, and a
state of war exists. It Is ordered that
no meetings take place without previ
ous authority of the military authori
ties. It Is also forbidden to publish,
without previous authorization, any
writings, engravings or designs what
ever. The decree concludes by specify
ing the punishment for those who dis
regard the orders issued.
The publication of the decree is ac
cepted as proof that peace negotiations
are actually in progress. Piemier
Sagasta is quoted as saying:
Spain wants peaoe, but it must be
an honorable peace, as Spain deserves.
The army Is anxious to resist to the
last, but the government cannot con
sent to such a useless sacrifice. Had
we our fleet, the situation would have
been very difierent."
The pacific tendency is increasing,
the general publlo taking a favorable
view of the suggestion that the powers
should attempt the re-establishment of
peace, but it is said, contrary to reports
current, France has not taken the
initiative.
The minister of war, General Cor-
rea, is quoted as saying in an inter
view, he thought peace might be ar
ranged on the following terms:
The United States and Spain to
agree to let the Cubans decide by pleb
iscite whether they desire independ
ence or autonomy under the suzerainty
of Spain. The governments to agree to
abide by the result of the plebiscite,
and in the event of the Cubans voting
for independence, the United States to
allow Spain nine months in which to
withdraw her army gradually and dig
nifiedly from Cuba, as Boldiers should,
alter having fought like heroes."
Continuing the minister for war
said:
"We ought to retain Potto Rico at
all costs in order to be always near
Cuba, which the Americans will be
able to despoil in course of time, and
in order to more easily communicate
with the South American republics,
which daily displav the greatest enthu
siasm for Spain.
"As to the Philippine islands, it is
certain we will retain them, even
though the Americans suoceed in oc
cupying Manila, of which place their
occupation will be most brief. An
offloial dispatch announces that the
rebel chiefs and Americans will not al
ways agree, which is to Spain's advant
age. Ine government has formed a
scheme, which .will not only assure
Spain the possession of the Philippine
islands, but which will restore theft
tranquility."
On leaving the cabinet council this
evening, the ministers professed still
to be without confirmation of the re
ported capitulation of Santiago.
BROUGHT TO A STOP.
French Gunboat Held TJp In Guanta
nsmo Bay After Hours.
Playa del Eete, Guantanamo Bay,
July 16. A French gunboat of about
3,000 tons displacement attempted to
come into the harbor about dusk to
night without permission, and met
with a surprise party. The cruiser
Marblehead fired a blank shot as the
gunboat came Into the entrance to the
harbor, but no attention was paid to
this, and a shot from a 6-pounder was
sent aoross her bows. This, too, was
disregarded, the gunboat coming along
under full steam.
For a few minutes it looked as if a
row was possible. The trumpets on
the Marblehead rang out a oall to
quarters, and another shot was sent
across the Frenchman's bow, this
time in uncomfortable proximity. That
warning was sufficient, howe.ver, and
the Frenchman stopped with extreme
suddenness.
It is against naval custom for a war
vessel of one nation to entei a port
which the vessels of another nation
are blockading, unless permission is
granted. The captain of the French
gunboat was either in ignorance of the
American occupation, or chose to dis
regard it until forcibly reminded of the
fact by Commodore McCalla.
The gonboat was allowed to anchor
in the lower harbor for the night.
Treating the Wounded.
Washington, July 14. -Surgeon-General
Van Beypen, of the navy, received
a report from the surgeons with the
fleet showing that in many oases of
wounded, some of them serious, no rise
of temperature or an accumulation of
pus has appeared. From a medical
standpoint this is said to be a great ad
vance from the conditions during the
civil wax, and is attributed to the intro
duction of . antiseptio treatment of
wounds. It shows that no fever fol
lows the wound, and that in the ab
sence of pus, the wounds heal rapidly,
without complications. Considering
the great number of wounds to be
treated, new and hereafter, this is re
garded aa a most satisfactory showing.
8f ftita Shifts the Responsibility.
Madrid, July 18. Premier Sagasta
declares that the government In Cuba
hus not intervened In the negotiations
for the surrender of Santiago. He adds
that the surrender came within the
province of General Toral, and under
his responsibility, and the general sim
ply announced the garrison bad capit
ulated.
AtUntle Const Cities Are Safe.
Washington, July 20. The naval war
board today held a conference with the
president, arranging the final d)tails
regarding Watson's omise.
Secretary Long said that no appre
hension whatever existed over the
Spanish threat thatthoCamara squad
ron woud be divided, part of the ships
coming to this side to attack seaport
cities. This is looked upon as a sheer
bluff, and it will not have the effect ul
changing the navy plans or of with
drawing any ships for patrol service on
the Atlantic coast. Should the Span
ish threat be made good, ships more
than a match for any of Camura's ves
sels would be available at any Atlantic
port on short notice.
Disasters to Vessels In Alaskan Waters.
San Francisco, July 20. A report re
garding disasters to shipping in Alas
kan waters has been received - from E.
Anders, collector of customs at St.
Michaels. He says that Only two of the
recently constructed river boats the
Louise and the Leah are likely to
reach tlawson this year. Besides the
vessels already reported wrecked on the
Way to St. Michaels, the bark Rufus
E. Wood lost her rlvei stoamer over
board, the old tug Governor Stoneman
lost a barge with a large quantity of
freight when the river broke up, and
the 12 steamers sent out from Seattle
on June 2 by Moran Brothers were
counted among the missing on July 7.
Relief Ship Enters the Harbor.
Playa del Fate, July 19. At 0
o'olock, the hour of the surrender of
the troops at Santiago, and the 10,000
others in the district, the Spanish flag
was lowered from Morro castle.
This afternoon, the torpedoes were
taken up or exploded, after whioh the
Bed Cross steamer State of Texas en
tered to give assistance to the sick and
wounded. The warships may not enter
the harbor tor several days, probably
not until the arrangements have been
completed for transporting the Spanish
prisoners to Spain. Nearly all the
American warships are now in Guan
tanamo bay. Commodore Watson's
squadron is preparing to go to Spain,
and several vessels are preparing for
the expedition to Porto Rico. The
auxiliary cruiser Yale, with General
Miles, will protfably leave for Porto
Eioo in the course of a day or two.
General Miles says a sufficient furoe
will be sent to the island at once to
take it and hold It

Bad Digestion, Bad Heart
Poor digestion often oauses irregular
ity of the heart's action. This irregu
larity may be ruistukon for real, organic
heart disease. Tho sym ptoms are m noli
the Bame. There is however a vast
difference between the two: organia
heart disease is often incurable; ap
parent heart disease Is curable it good
digestion be restored.
A case in point is quoted from the
New Era, of Greonsburg, Ind. Mrs.
Ellen Colsom, Newpoint, Ind., a
woman 43 years old, had suffered for
four years with distressing stomach
trouble. The eases genoratod by the
indigestion pressed on the heart, and
caused an irregularity of its action.
She had niuoh pain In her stomach and
heart, and was subject to froquent and
severe ohoktng spells whioh were most
severe at night. Doctors were tried in
vain; the patient became worso, de
oondent, and feared impending death.
A Com q Heart Failun.
She was much frightened, but no
tioed that in intervals In which her
stomach did not annoy her, her heart's
action became normal. Reasoning cor
rectly that her digestion was alone at
fault she procured the proper medicine
to treat that trouble and with immedi
ate good results. Her appetite came back,
the choking spells became loss frequent
and finally ceased. Her weight, which
had been greatly reduced was restored
and she now weighs more than for
years. Her blood soon became pure
and her cheeks rosy.
The case Is of general interest because
the disease is a very common one.
That others may know the means of
oure we give the name of the medicine
used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pate People. These pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore

FLIGHT Of THE ARMADA.
experience of fhtllp'a Fleet to the
Hortua of the Uerman Ocean.
In the Century there is an article on
"The Spanish Armada," by Wlllluui
Frederic Tllton. Aftor describing tho
defeat of the Armada, Mr. Tllton nays:
Meanwhile the Spaniards wore hikh1
Ing, crestfallen, over tho German
Ocean, under all tho canvas that their
torn rigging and spllutervd spars would
bear. For Sldonla's men were think
ing only of getting home to tho warm
sun and sparkling water of their earn
Espana dear old Spain. Soldiers and
sailors lounged In sullen, silent groups
about the decks. The flag-ehrp would
not respond to the salutes of her con
sorts. The wind blew northerly at
times, but the duko forgot hte promise
to still back into tho Ohamtol. IIo
thought only of flight, and offered hte
French pilot two thousand ducats If
he should bring him wife to SpainJ
Soon the autumn storms burst, and
tho Spaniards had to house everything
but ft rng of sail to steer by. Thick,
black fogs often settled down upon
them, so that they could not sec
one another's lights a night. One
day, however, they had the melancholy
satisfaction of capturing a few En
glish ptnnncea returning from their
flshlng-grouud laden with cod and ling.
This one almost regrets to say It
was tho greatest achievement of the
fleet Hint was to give Philip the sov
ereignty over western Europe. The
men had been supplied with clothes
only for a short summer campaign,
and these North Sea gales froze them
to the bone. "We all expected to came
home, rich from thts expedition," wrote
a gentleman on board the flng-ehlp,
ns she was floundering past Scotland;
"buf now we are coming home In out
shirts, for our clothes got so ragged
that we had to throw them overboard.1
To Increase the wretchedness, It be
came necessnry to reduce tho rations
to starving-point The artillery mulee
and noblemen's horses, which a wise
commander would have kept for food,
were cast overboard to save water. It
was heartrending to see tho wild white
eyes of the poor brutes as, plunging
mid snorting, they tried to swim back
to tho ship's sido.
It seemed Imperative to punish some
body for all this disgrace and misery.
A number of officers were accused of
disobedience or cowardice. Rotno of
these the duke deprived of their com
mands; and one captain was hanged
In a pinnace, which was sent through
the fleet with Ha gruesome freight
dangling from the yard-arm as a warn
ing to the rest.
The weather got ever wilder, The
clumsy ships heaved and rolled, and
plunged their yards deep Into tho
waves. Hulls got so badly strained
that they had to be stiffened with
ropes. Strong men flocked to the chap
lains, begging for their prayers. Many
a poor fellow, losing hope of seeing
land ngaln, made his will and Intrusted
It to the ship's priest. Men sickened
and died by hundreds, sons of Spoln'f
noblest houses with the rest., Mnnj
ships got so short-handed that thej
dropped behind tlw main body, and
bad to struggle northward In tsolatetj
groups. Now and then a rotten lacing
would give way, and tho sailors, weak
ened by hunger and sickness, hod t
go aloft In the gale to houso tho tug
ging and bellying sail, lucky If shrouds
and spars were not slippery and dan
gerous with the driving sleet. Though
midsummer, It was as cold as Christ
nms. Everybody except the ptloti
stayed below as much as possible to
keep warm. They were all perishing
With hunger and thirst, and the lHtls
food they got was moldy. They mlghl
have tried catching rain-water In
casks, but the spray would have turn
ed it salt. Calderon, one of the pay
masters, had a store of delicacies
aboard his hulk, and distributed them,
as well as the heavy sea allowed,
among the sick and wounded of the
fleet The negroes and mulattoes, It
was observed, nearly all perished with
the cold. The men were now kept
continuously at the pumps. Woe to
the ship when pumps got clogged with
ballast pebbles! It was hard and dan
gerous work shifting the crews of
linking vessels In the. tempestuous
weather.
