Washington, Feb. 3. It now
looks as if the war that has leen
racing so long in Cuba with so np
palttir dli-aster to both life anil
property, will bo brought to an end.
It is (Trtuin that state department
officials have been in earnest
consultation with the insurgents,
and the concentration of the bij; na
val f jrce of the United State? about
the little Island of Cuba carries out
t lie theory so prevalent thnt the
time Las arrived to put a stop to
further barbarities.
Cn t v-o, Vcb. 3. A Washington die
patch Bays .
Secret negotiations are now actually
in progress between the state depart
ment and the insurgents in Cuba look
ing 1 1 a stoppage of the war on some
financial basis to ho agreed upon here
after. President MeKinley has not
recocn.zed the insurgents as belligerents
and he cannot therefore treat with them
openly, as he would do with a diplomatic
representative of nn independent nation.
Direct communication haB, however,
been had within the past two weeks be
tween the insurgent government and the
aJmiiiirtnition here.
The insurgents have expressed perfect
willingness to assume a reasonable share
of the Spanish bonds issued against the
Cuban revenues. The proposition lias
teen considered with some favor, and
the president and his cabinet have con
sidered beveral plans for guaranteeing
the Cuban debt on the sole basis of in
dependence. Hies negotiations have goue side by
tide with the gradual massing of the
ships of the north Atlantic squadron
within striking distance of Cuba. Orders
to the Cruiser Montgomery to sail at
once for the harbor of Matanzas have
been its tied and the i-hip is expected to
be received there quite as. cordially as
the Maine was in Havana. Tho orders
to her commander contemplate a call
on Consul Urico nt MutunzuH. Should
everything be found peaceable the ship
will proceed to -Santiago de Cuba, but
should affairs appear threatening at Ma
tar.zis, another ship will bo quietly
elipjKd to the latter port, and before
Captain-General Blunco knows what is
lmppcit:ng to him Americau ships will
be in the harbor of every important port
in Cuba.
The gradual occupation of the island
by the naval forces is understood to be
part and parcel of the negotiations with
the insurgent?. When thev are con
cluded, if everything goes on well, the
I'nited tutea will be in n position to
ffer Spam a heavy financial bonus for
tfflog up the island, while at tho same
"me the inturgents will find themselves
"i a position to make u junction witJi

recent riots occurring in Matnnzas, sug
gested that a warship should be imme
diately Eent there to protect Amer
ican interest. The fact that the state
department requested that the Mont
gomery be sent there has strengthened
this belief.
The send.ng of the Montgomery to
Matauzas is regarded here its of equal
importance to the dispatch of the
Maine to Havana.
i The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a
community of simple, honest, God-fearing
men and women, have prepared the
, Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years,
and it is always the same, fimple, hon
est, curative medicine that had helped
to make the Shakers the healthy, long
lived people that they are. The Shak
ers never have indigestion. This is
; partly owing to their simple mode of
life, partly to the wonderful properties
of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indiges
tion is caused by the stom.ich glands not
supplying enough digestive juice.
.Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies what's
' wanting. .Shaker Digestive Cordial in
vigorates the HtoniHch tmd all its gland?
