tliu ilisiinter, Hliould find that it was rot
the result of an accident. To thiH, ho
added tlio Htatomont that ho thought un

tliu Smniali uiitlioritiiiH were awaro of
tliu iutuution of iinyono who may havo
cauii'd tlm expliiHion, hut ho advances
the opinion that whothor they wuro or
not, the Spanish government would ho
liable for indemnity if it was shown that
any Spaniard had caused it.
A uieinhor of tlio cabinet, in speaking
today of the attitude of the president
on tliu question of the war with Spain,
eaid:
"President McKinley is (living
thoughtful and earnest consideration to
every phase of the Cuban situation as it
apiwurs, but, he will not bo jlngoed into
a war or net in anticipation of events
which nmy never occur. He fully real
izes what war meaiiH, and will not go to
the last direlul extremity without tho
approval of his conscience and a ilrnj
conviction that such a course would he
rltflit in the sight of God and man. Hut
whenever the honor and integrity of the
nation or its people become involved, the
president may he dopundud upon to do
his whole duty, and to do it prompt
ly." .

When the attention of Philip Alger,
expert of the bureau of ordnance, wuh
ailed to Senor du Hose's statement, lie
laid:
"The statement is important us rep
resenting tho position taken by Spanish
officials, who have absolute knowledge
of whether or not Havana Harbor was
mined. It is, of course, improbable that
nuch mines existed, since it is not cus
tomary to plant torpedoB in harbors at
H, and especially not in harbors dn
itantly occupied by friendly vessels.
Should it bo possible to prdvo Senor du
Boec's statement to be true, tho whole
theory of the Maine's destruction by a
torpedo will beconio intoimble, in my
opinion. Hut tho only proper course
now to he pursued is to await patiently
the report of tho board of investigation
and to accept its findings as conclusive.
When the llrst news of tho catastrophe
arrived, it was important to allay all ex
citement by pointing out the fact that
"i posHlbilitioB wuro in favor of an acci
dent. Nothing that has yet been known
lenils to a modification of this view. It

Tho contrary ftscms to me to be true,
Tlio wit of man lias not yot devised an
instrument of destruction which acci
dent may not turn ngainet a friend with
an eHeet equal to that which it was in
J tended to produce npoi an enemy. Ac
cideuts will hoinotimes happen, and it is
self-evident that the force of explosives
carried by any warship will always be
suflicieut to destroy her if accidentally
set on fire.
"it u was an nccitlent, its cause rnav
ho ascertained and a repetition guarded
against. If tho modern battleship can
be as euBtly destroyed by an enemv as
tho udvocutes of the torpedo theory be
lieve, then perhaps it might be claimed,
with some show of reuson, that such
flhips should no longer be built. But to
condemn battleships beam bo an accident
may destroy one of thorn would be to
act without reason.

It makes important statements about
the Alaskan situation, saying among
other things:
"A conservative estimate of the an
nual bullion output of Juneau, from its
quartz mines alone, is about $3,000,000,
produced from approximately 050
stumps. Within twelve months the
number of stamps in operation on lands
tributary to Juneau will exceed 1100,

The Shakers of Munt Lebanon, a
community of simple, honest, God-fear
ing men and women, havo prepared the
Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years,
arid it is always tho same, simple, hon
est, curative medicine that has helped
to make the Shakers the healthy, long
lived people that they are. The Shak
era never nave innigesiion. Una is
partly owing to their simple mode of
life, partly to tho wonderful properties
of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indiges
tion is caused by the stomach glands not
supplying enough digestive juice,
Shuker Digestive Cordial supplies what's
wanting. Shaker Digestive Cordial in
vigorates the stomach and all its glonds
