well today.
The wrecking tug Itight Arm is en
gaged in removing such purts of the
wreck as it is possible to handle in ad

New Yoiik, Feb. 23. A special to the

There is no longer any reuspn to doubt
that the exploeion which wrecked the
Maine came from underneath the vessel,
nd that her magazines had nothing to
do with the initial explosion und played
much smaller part in the great disas

the construction corps, and took a two
year course in the Glasgow school of na

What he discovered was that the for

Another vessel of the Alaska fleet,
this time one sailing from Vancou
ver, has come to grief. The steamer
Pakshan, the heaviest laden veBeel
that ever left Vancouver for Skag
uuy, is fast on a beaconed rock at
the entrance to Nanaimo harbor
and within 500 yards of the custom
house, according to a dispatch to
the Seattle Times.
The news of the Pukshan's miE
hup was brought to Vancouver by
the steamer Chieftain, which plieB
between that port and Xanaimo,
whose captain went to the rescue of
the Pakshau und with three other
tugs tried for two hours to pull her
ofi, but the tide fell so rapidly that
it was no use, so the Chieftain pro
ceeded on her way.
As the l'ukehitn whb sticking fast
on the rock, which is three hundred
feet long, and resting.uu it amidship,
and being bo near hind there was no
danger. The rock was beaconed,
and how she went onto it is a mys
tery. The captain of the Chieftain said
it would be a miracle if she was not
riddled witli holes when the tide fell
a few feet more. Agents of the
steamer at Vancouver say they know
nothing of the accident at present.
A later dispatch from Vancouver
states that the Pakshan was floated
at high tide, and that she was
thought to he not seriously injured.

Nkw Yokk, Feb. 25. A World special
from Madrid says:
Admiral Terry, secretary and chiel-uf-stall'
of tlio minister of marine, says:
"The harlior of Havana coutained no
submarine mine in the vicinity of the
place where the battleship Maine and the
Spanish cruiser Alfonse XIII were an
chored. In a recent letter from Washington,
J). 0., to an old friend, Major, G. A.
Studer, for twenty years Unltod States
Consul at Singapore, bays : "While at
Das Moines I became acqalnted with u
linlnieut known as Chamberlain's Pain
Balm, which I found exeelleut against
rheumatism as well as against soreness
of the thront and chest (giving mo much
easier breathing. I had a touch of pneu
monia early this week, and two applica
tions freely applied to the throat and
chest relieved mo of it at onco. I would
n t bo without it for anything." For

Night of Horror.
New YonK, Feb. 25. Passengers on
the steamship Concho that has hist ar
rived from Havana, say that the night
of the disaster waa hoirifying from the
evidence that the wreckage bore of the
power of the explosion and the carnage
wrought. Buzzards hung about the
wreck, the Spanish officers making no
effort to drive them away, though their
presence wns sickeningly offensive.
Spaniards who rowed about in boats
did not conceal their satisfaction at the
American warship's fate, and sometimes
were seen shaking their fists at the flag
that hung at half-mast above the hulk.
The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a
community of simple, honest, God-fear
ing men and women, have prepared the
Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years.
and it is always the same, Eimple, hon
est, curative medicine thnt 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 eimple mode of
life, partly to the wonderful properitiee
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 awhile they don't need
help. As evidence of the honestv of
