Special diepacb to the Post-Intelligencer
Washihotox, 25. It is not easy to
describe tbe state of intense excitement
prevailing in thia and ether cit:ee along
tbe Atlantic aeaboard tcday. Officials
of the government are the ouly people
who try to keep cool or who make any
a uetnt-t to disguise the boiling indigna
tion which they feel as thn facta develop
concerning the explosion that sent to tbe
bottom ef Havana harbor one of onr
fineet battle-ehips and caused the lose
of 250 brave American seamen.
This cooloeea of administration folks
ia but a necessity of their position. It
is tbe careful, elear headed discretion
that fotms the most imoottaot factor
in the face of an Impending e isis.
With tbe probability of war near at baod
President McKiniey and bis adviaers
stand as the representatives of a nation
which must take no step inconsistent
with the power and dignity of the great
est republic of tbe earth.
The daily suppression of newt, which
ia now admitted, will net last much
longer.- The president baa positively
stated to several gentlemen in congress
that be will make public the facts aa
soon aa tbe final report of the board of
inquiry is made.
Positive Information that the Maine
was blown np by a submarine mine or
torpedo is even now not lacsinc, bat is
not official. The government may no

they may be satisfied of their' troth.

pondents now in Havana known to be

main facts.
No otbsr topic was discussed at the
cabinet meeting today. The possibilit
ies of war were thoroughly canvassed ;
plan, of attack and defense were sug
gested . At times tbe talk was not alto
gether calm and dispassionate; but the
decision reached was so. .
When the government learns that
tbe Maine was blown np not as the re
sult of an accident, 8pain will be im
mediately called to account. An abso
lute disclaimer of intention on the part
of the (Spanish government must ' be fol
lowed by the payment of a heavy indem
nity, not only to the government, but to
the families of the dead seamen. This
must be done promptly.

cided upon has not been settled. (Sug

Ai law B. Slacson,
Dr Worth, ia commenting on recent

and far reaching in benefit as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, tne new ttoanacb

Indigestion is the starting point of
consumption, heart disease, Bright't

because every nerve, muscle and tiasae
in our bodies it created and nourished

Tbe remedy to nse for indigestion and

a remedy which will digest the lood.
increase the flow of gastric juice, absorb
the gasees, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets will accomplish exactly thia result
in any case of stomach trouble, because
these tablets are composed of the ditr

and Cismnth, pleasant to taste, and not
being a patent medicine, can be used by
anyone with perfect safety, I believe
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure any
form of indigestion and stomach trouble
except cancer of stomach.

of the Associated Banka of New York
that the platform of the St Louis con

all written, with the exception of these
six words, "which we pledge ourselves
to promote," referring to international
bimetallism. A United States Senator
had tbat inserted so "be eould stay in
the party."
That platform was the first in the his
tory of tbe United States that was pleg
e I to the goid standard. Now a signifi
cant fact is that the gold standard has
never received nor dared to challenge
tbe votte of the people of a single coun

gld standard, and which is claimed to
be tbe orthodox tt iog, was never placed
bafore the vote; of the people. The

the next campaign the people of the
United States will show by tbe deluge of
patriotic votes that they are for tbe mon

that the great party brought into, being
by tbe fight to preserve tbe Union should
say that tbe people of this nation cannot
govern itself. Now, if tbe gold stand
