Nmv Yoiik, Feb. IS. The Herald this
morning printH the following from Key
West.
'I learn on undoubted authority thut
one of Urn Maine's Bailors who was taken
to the marine hospital, out of gratitude
for the kind treatment and careful nurs
ing received iroin Burgeons and attend
nts, has broken the seal of silence en
joined by bis superior of beers before
leaving Havana, and makes statements,
the truth of which cannot be doubted,
And which points to the deliberate de
struction of ttio vessel.
"The sailor, whose name for obvious
reasons is withheld for the present, says
he wae on watch on the forward deck
shortly before the explosion occurred.
While looking over the Muine's bow into
the waters of tbe bay he buw a black
object slowly approuehing the vessel.
The object, whatever it was, was appar
ently illuminated and emitted Btnoke.
He BiiBpectod something wrong and
darted to communicate the fact to the
officer of the duy, when the explosion
occurred. Tho Maine was reared in the
air and lie was thrown to tho deck stun
ned and bleeding.
"He also says that simultaneously
with the raising of the Maine he saw
the steam launch which was moored
alongside of her, also thrown out of the
water. This was before tho second ex
plosion in the Maine's magazine was
felt, and which sent her to the bottom."

The ShakerB of Mount Lebanon, a
community of Bimple, honest, God-fear
ing men nnd women, have prepared the
Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years,
and it is always the same, simple, hon
est, curative medicine that has 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 stomach glands not
supplying enough digestive juice
Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies what's
wanting. Shaker Digestive Cordial in
vigorates the stomach und all its glands
so that after awhile they don't need
help. As evidence of the honesty of
Shaker Digestive Cordial, the formula
is printed on every bottle. Sold by
druggists, price 10 cents to $1.00 per bot

Washington, Fob. 18. A resolution
ollered in the senate by Hale appropri
ating $200,000 for ruising tiie battleship
Maine and saving what property could
be saved, was passed by tho senate with
out objection, being amended so as to
authorize tbe secretary to direst thut the
remains of ttie oflicers aud Bailors be
brought to the United States for inter
ment.
The house passed a resolution similar
to that passed by the senate relative to
the Muine.
The vessel with her stores, guriB, ma
terial, equipment, fittings aud appurte
nances cost appreximately $5,000,000.
As an illustration of the value of single
Items which may have escaped serious
injury, it may be said that the 10-inch
guns, of which the Maine carried four,
were worth, with their mounts, $43,500
each.
The sinking of the Maine will be
made the subject of an immediate and
xhaustive inquiry, and congress will be
fully advised us to thu result ot sucli in-
estigalion.

pinched look. Secure good health and
you will surely have good looks. ".Elec

GLOOMY VI KW OK TIIK SITUATION.
lupuuesB Timex Think China la Tor
menting Trouble.
Nkw, Yoiik, Feb. 18. A Herald spe
cial from Yokohama says:
The Japanese Times takes a gloomy
view of the Eastern situation. The fol
lowing is from its leading editorial :
"Things are in a state of suspense.
Will the threatmed storm pass away
without occassiouing any actual explo
sion? Nobody should answer in the tiie
aflinnative. We should say that the
real dangers of the situation have yet to
be faced. What these dangers will be
it is not easy nor safe to foretell, hut we
may state broadly that they will disclose
themselves when the time conies for
Japan to act the hero part on the stage."
The Times speculating as to tho prob
ability of Japan refusing China's request
for time in which to pay the war indem
nity, continues : (
"If our neighbors succeed in raising
the money before that time it will he all
right, but should their efforts he unsuc
cessful then would be the inauguration
of operations in the Eastern crisis. Un
der the development of events, things
may easily come very near to the point
of explosion, China's failure to find
money will open a new tcene in the
drama, a scene which will be of more
lively interert than anything thus far
enacted,"
