nuirii's ;tc to whether thti department
was suppressing inforrniition concerning
the i! suster to the Maine, wrote the fol- ,
'
lowing:
"No telegram has been received from I
cithur Admiral Sicurd or Captains Sump-1
eoii or bigsbeu, Bluet yesterday after
noon, and ttiia department has received
no information with regard to the Maine 1
disaster which Iiuh not already been j
niiule public. Tliu department 1b await

lurnt tiioiiid bo suspended until some

clmngerj in any decree me view oi nign
oIIicia.H of the government as to the J
probable unifo of the disaster to the ;
Maine. It ci.n be Btated on the highest j
autlioritv that absolutely nothing of a ,
dUnuielinc nature has been received at ,
the White House, nor is news of any
diarflfiur exi.ected until the court ot
Inquiry has completed its investigation ,
ami submitted its renort. It can uIho bo '
stated on authority not to bo questioned ,
that the pub.ie has been fully informed
as to all matters connected with the dis
aster of the .Maine, which have come to
tho knowledge of the government.
Nothing Iihh been withheld of tho least
pu blic intercHt, nnd this policy will bo
continued until thu problem has been
solved and the whole truth brought to
lilit. It is known the government has
not received nny information trom an
official source tending to show with nny
degree of certainty that the explosion
wne caused by the work of enemies to
this country.
No orders have been iBBued aa yet for
any vessel to go to JJavnnu to replace the

T-' readers of this paper will bo
J'l;ated to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
ab,u m cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Hall'B Catarrh Cure is the
"!)' positive cure known to tho medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tio,1l disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Hull's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood anil mucous surfuceB of the disease
and giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprie
tors have S3 much faith in its curative
pemrs, that they offer One Hundred
Do larB for any cape that it fails to cure.

Havana, Feb. 24. The stories pub
lished in the Spanish newspapers that
the United States naval officers at Ha
vana are talking too much are unfound
ed. It would be impossible to find more
discretion than is shown by all from
captain to cadet. Even the men, wound
ed or uuwounded, are careful of what
they say, lest tin indiscretion in talk
should lead to serious action.
Cantaln Sigsbee's private letters have
been recovered. His gold medal from
congress und tho diplomatic order of the
Red Eagle given to him by Kmperor
William I of Germany, lor his invention
of udeep seu apparatus, have not been

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a
community of simple, honest, God-fearing
men nnd women, have prepared tho
Shaker Digestive Cordiul for many years,
and it is always the same, pimple, holi
est, curative medicine that has helped
to make the Shakers the healthy, long
lived people thut they are. The Shak
ers never have indigestion. TIiIb is
partly owing to their Bitnple 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 and all its glands
so that after uwhilo they don't need
help. As evidence of the honesty of

There are no better medicines on tho
market than Chamberlain's. We have
uped the Cough Remedy when all others
failed, nnd in every instance it proved
effectual. Almost dHily we hear the
virtues of Chamberlain's remedies ex
tolled by those who have used them.
ThiB is not an empty puff, paid for at so
much a line, but is voluntarily given in
good faith, in the hope that suffering
humanity may try these remedies and,

They say that there seemed to be a series
of explosions in quick succession.
How to Look CiiikI.
Good looks are reaily more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital origins. If the
liver be inactive, you have a bilious look;
if your kidneys be effected, you have a
pinched look. SecuiM good health and
y.u will surely have good looks. "Elec
tric Bitters" is a good Alternative and
Tonic. Acts directly on the stomach
liver and kidneys. Purities the blood,
cures pimples, blotches and boils, and
gives a good complexion. Every bottle
guaranteed. Sold at Blakeley & Hough

Balm, which 1 found excellent against
rheumatism as well as against soreness
of the throat and chest (giving me much
easier breathing. I had u touch of pneu
monia early this week, and two applica
tions freely applied to the throat and
chest relieved me of it at once. I would
not be witliout it for anything." For
