New Youk, May 17. The Herald's

No doubt remains that the work of
pacification in the Phillippine islands is
at a standstill. The gravity of the situ
ation there has been fully revealed by a
correspondent in Manila, who gives
many incidents with dateB to Bhow that
the insurgents bands are still active.
He says :
"There are more than 25,000 insur

loan of $25,000,000 for the expenses of
the war in the Phillippinea. Madrid
and Barcelona bankers are willing to
lend the money on the following con
ditions : The issue must be made at 8J
per cent, the bonds to bear 6 per cent
interest and have the guarantee of the
Spanish treasury besides that of the
Phillippine customs. Ab the govern

M'KINLKY TO THE RESCUE.

Washington, May 17. President Mc
Kinley today sunt to congress a message
recommending that an appropriation of
$50,000 be at once made, for the relief of
destitute Americans in Cuba, and the
removal to American soil of such as wish
to come but are without means to make
the juiuney.
In accordance with the president's rec
ommendation, tho senate passed without
a division, n resolution appropriating
$50,000 for the purpose specified in the
message.
In the house a similar resolution was
presented, inn Bailey of Texas objected
to its consideration without an amend
ment embodying Senator Morgan's reso
lution to recognizo the belligerency of
thi insurgents. The resolution was
therefore sidetracked.
The cabinet also considered the Cuban
matter today at a special meeting, and
indorsed the recommendations of Presi
dent MtKinley regarding relief meas
ures. The president's message to congress
was as follows:
"To the Senate and House of Keproseu
tativo of the United States
"Oilicial information from our consuls
in Cuba establishes the fact that a large
number of American citizens in the isl
and are in a state of destitution, sutler
i'lg for want of food and medicines.
'This applies particularly to the rural
districts in the central and eastern parts
f the island. The agricultural classes
have been forced from their farms into
the nearest towns, where they are with
out work or money. Local authorities
the several towns, however kindly
disposed, are unable to relievo the needs
f thoir own people and are altogether
powerless to help our citizens.
"The latest report fiom Consul-General
Lee estimates that from 600 to 800
Americans are without means of sup
port. I have assured him provisions
will be made to relieve them. To that
e"d, I recommend that congress make
an appropriation of not less than $50,000
to be immediately available for use
wnder direction of the secretary of atate.
Is desirable that part of the sum
which may be appropriated by congress
hould, in the discretion of yie secretary
of Btate, also be used for the transporta
tion of American citizens, who, desiring

New Yoke, May 17. A special to the
Herald from Montevideo says that
official reports announce that General
Villiers' forces had an engagement with
the insurgents, commanded by the rebel
leaders LamaB and Saravia. and defeat
ed them with heavy lose. The battle
lasted eight hours. The insurgents
made a desperate resistance, but were
compelled to retreat in disorder to the
Brazilian frontier.
The government regards the victory ao
decisive, and believes that the revolt has
receiyed its death blow.
The Shakers have made a discovery
which is destined to accomplish much
good. Bealizing that three-fourths ot
all of our Bufferings arise from stomach
troubles, that the country is literally
filled with people who cannot eat and
digest food, without subsequently suffer
ing pain and distress, and that many
are starving, wasting to mere skeletons,
because their food does them no good,
they have devoted much Btudy and
thought to the subject, and the result is
thiB discovery of their Digestive Cordial.
A little book can be obtained from
ycur druggist that will point out the
way of relief at once. An investigation
will cost nothing and will result in
much good.

CoNvrA.vmori.t-. May 10. (Delayed
in transmission.) Representatives of tho
powers yesteiday drew up a note which
will be presented to the Turkish govern
ment as soon as one of tho ambassadors
receives the necessary instructions from
his government. This note does not
deal with peace condition', but merely
repeats the request for an armistice and
declares the powers will not permit
Greece to be crushed.
Although it is assumed in some quar
ters that the porte, in accordance with
Eastern usages, has demanded more
in order to obtain less, it is pointed out
that it the Turkish government desired
to bargain it would not have formulated
its condition officially.
The powers have agreed to protest
against the cession of Thessaly to Tui k

From the Fairhaven (N. Y.) Register.
Mr. James Rowland of this village,
state that for twenty-five years his wife
has been a sufferer from -rheumatism.
A few nights ago she was in such pain
that she was nearly crazy. She sent
Mr. Rowland for the doctor, but he had
read of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and
instead of going for the doctor be went
to the store and secured a bottle ot it.
His wife did not approve of Mr. Row
land's purchase at first, but neverthe
less applied the Balm thoroughly and in
an hour's time was able to go to sleep.
She now applies it whenever she feels an
ache or a pain and finds that it always
gives relief. He says that no medicine
which she had used ever did her as much
good. The 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale
