SPAIN MUST
ACCEPT THE
INEVITABLE
Leading Men at Maflrii Concede That
America Will Not Assume
the Cuban Debt
PHILIPPINES
PROBABLY LOST
Spanish Dockyards Do Not Show the
Slightest Signs of Renewed Activi
ts or Other Indications that Spain
Has Any Intention of Renewing
the War.
New York, Oct. 23. A dispatch, to
the World from Madrid says:
From conversations with leading poli
ticians and ministers, the World corre
spondent can etate that the notion of
breaking off negotiations over the Cuban
debt is regarded as absolutely prepos
terous and euicidal. Even as to the
Philippines, in which vastly greater in
terests center, it is taken for granted
here that Spain must in the long run
yield to whatever the United States in
sists upon.
Telegraphic inquiries have elicited ir
refutuable proofs that the Spanish dock
yards show absolutely no signs of re
newed activity nor the eligbteet symp
tom implying the remoteet idea of re
newing the struggle with the United
States. The vessels composing Admiral
Camara's fleet are now dispersed to
various ports, chiefly Cadiz, Cartagena
and Ferrol, with their crews reduced to
a peace footing', and the majority of the
officers on leave and the marines all on
ehore.
Work on all coast-defense works and
fortifications for defense, the arsenal and
the dockyards stopped at the suspension
of hostilities.
The officers and men of Admiral Cer
vera's fleet obtained unlimited leave on
arriving.
At Ferrol and Cadiz especially things
are as quiet as before. Besides, gun
nery and' machinery trials on several of
the war vessels, including the Carlos V
and the Pelayo, reveal lamentable de
ficiencies. Ultimatum Today.
Washington, Oct. 24. It is expected
at today's meeting of the peace commis
sion in Paris, that the American com
missioners will deliver to their adver
saries something very closely resembling
an ultimatum. The president is satis
fied at last that the Spanish commis
sioners are purposely delaying negotia
tions. This is the belief of the Ameri
can commissioners also.
The time has now come to cut off all
false pleas and come directly to the main
issue left open by the protocol, namely,
the disposition of the Philippines.
LAST OF THE
DONS HAVE LEFT
Final Detachment Troops Sailed From
San Juan Yesterday Insular Cab
inet Sworn In.
Washington, Oct. 24. The navy de
partment today received the following
dispatch :
"San Juan, Oct. 23. Evacuation of
Porto Rico completed by the sailing of
the last detachment of Spanish troops
today. Schley."
San Juan, Oct. 24. Members of the
insular cabinet took the oath of alliance
to the United states yesterday with be
fitting solemnity. They will issue a man
ifesto announcing their resolution to
avoid partisan politics and end party
strife. s
About $12,000 have been collected as
customes duties since October 18th, the
day the United States formally took
possession of Porto Rio. ,
A movement has been started to send
a Porto Rican commission to the United
States in order to present to the author
ities there the needs of . the people on
the island.
Washington, Oct. 24. The President
today approved the recommendation of
Gen. Wade, at Havana, that the Span
iards be given until December 1st to
evacuate Cuba. In the meantime, how
ever, the United States troops now in
Cuba and others to be dispatched will
take possession of the territory as fast
as the Spaniards vacate it, probably
leaving Havana last.
THEY TRIED THE
CANADIAN ROUTE
Two Men and a Woman Attempt to
Reach to Klondike Over the Can
adian Route and Fail.
Seattle, Oct. 24. T, A. Baker, of
Portland, who arrived from Alaska last
night, says he met two. men and a
woman at Skagway, who had just fin
ished a trip of almost incredible hard-1-
ships over the Edmondton trail. The
party left Spokane fourteen months ago.
When they started they had 2U00 pounds
of provisions and twenty-one horses.
Now they have nothing. ' All their sup-'
plies and animals were lost and they
consider themselves fortunate in having
escaped, with their lives.
They saw provisions scattered along
the trail from the time they were well
up in the interior until they left for the
coast, and found several graves of those
who had perished in attempting to reaeh
the gold fields. Several times they lost
their way, and it was only by good for
tune that the trail was found again.
After traveling several hundred miles
and perceiving that it was useless to at
tempt to get through by keeping to the
regular route, they made direct for the
coast, going down one of the rivers to
the south of Skaguay.
Dearnees Cannot be Cared
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is bv constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an .inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. . When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the resnlt, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever ; nine cases ont of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.

-A Clever Trick:
It certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has lame back and weak kid
neys, malaria or nervous troubles. We
mean he can cure himself right away by
taking Electric Bitters. This medicine
tones up the whole system, acts as a
stimulant to the Liver and Kidneys, is a
blood purifier and nerve tonic. It cures
constipation, headache, fainting spells,
sleeplessness and melancholy. It is
purely vegetable, a mild laxative, and
restores the system to its natural vigor.
Try Electric Bitters and be convinced
that they are a miracle worker. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only 50c a bottle at

Three Doctors In Consultation.
From Benjamin Franklin.
"When you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for a medicine in the
first place; what experience tells you is
best, to be chosen in the second place;
what reason (i. e.. Theory') says is best
is to b9 chosen in the last place. But if
you can get Dr Inclination-, Dr. Ex
perience and Dr. Reason to hold a con
sultation together, they will give you
the best advice that can be taken."
When you have a bad cold Dr. Incli
nation would recommend Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy because it is pleasant
and safe to take. Dr. Experience would
recommend it because it never fails to
effect 'a speedy and permanent cure,'
Dr. Reason would recommend it because!
it is prepared on scientific principles,
and acts on nature's plan in relieving
the lungs, opening the Becretions and
restoring the system to a natural and
healthy condition. For sale by Blakeley

YELLOW FEVER.
The Glorious Opportunity to Destroy
It Now Being; Opened to
Americana.
The expected ha happened, and yel
low fever has attacked out troops at
Santiago. The first reports that were
permitted to reach the public were
dated July 12, on which day there were
14 new cases. Within three or four
days after that the total number of
cases to date was admitted to have
been upward of 300, so that it is certain
that the disease has been among the
troops, for'some time, probably having
attacked them almost immediately
after the landing1 vas made.
The policy of concealment was
vholly justifiable at that time, for a
confession of the truth would have
served no purpose in protecting the
home ports, and would simply have en
couraged the Spaniards to. delay sur
render, and would have caused unavail
ing anxiety and discouragement at
home.
. All the accounts of the epidemic
agree that the disease is in an unusual
ly mild form, by far the greater num
ber of those attacked recovering after
the normal period of not very great
suffering. Among the sufferers were
very mav.y of the Red Cross surgeons
and nurses, all of whom, so far as is
known, have entirely recovered or are
convalescent. Many immune surgeons
and nurses are on the way now to San
tiago, and will be assigned to the fever
hospitals immediately upon their ar
rival. Now that there is" no human enemy
in our way, our sanitary officers in the
conquered province have an excellent
opportunity to give to the world an
object lesson in cleanliness. And we
are perfectly confident that, with the
filth of Santiago destroyed .the houses
cleaned and disinfected, the. infected
huts burned, and our camps removed
to the hills as far as that may be pos
sible. Gen. Vomito Negro will follow
the lead of Gen. Toral and wield to the
inevitable.
We have always believed that the
chief reward to our country for un
dertaking this modern crusade against
the Saracen, and one that will fully
compensate us for expenditure of
blood and money, will be the libera
tion of our southern states from the
constant menace of yellow fever. We
are fighting not only for the freedom
of Cuba from Spanish tyranny, but for
the freedom of America from Spanish
disease. The accomplishment of the
first object is almost realized, and that
of the second is plainly in sight.
It is not expected, however, that this
glorious victory can be won without
a struggle, and we therefore welcome
the battle which is now on, fearful in
deed that the loss may be .heavy, yet
with no misgiving as to the outcome of
the contest. Medical Record.
