VOL. XI
COMMISSIONERS
i . FLATLY REFUSE
Spain Will Not Sell the Phil
ippine Islands.
WE HAVE NO
RIGHT TO THEM
Accuses the United States of Acting in
Bad Faith and Sajs the Action
Taken in Regard to the Philip
pines Was Not Sanctioned by the
Protocol.
Paris, Nov. 4. The Spanish commis
sioners, in the coarse of a two hours'
session of the peace commission today,
flatly refused to accept Monday's prop
osition by the Americans to take the en
tire group of the Philippines and to re
imburse Spain for her "pacific" expen
ditures there.
This negative action was expected,
The Spanish commissioners had also a
number of positive declarations which
filled some thirty-seven typewritten
sheets. In this statement the Spaniards
claim that the United States enter
tained no thought of annexing the Phil
ippines at the time the protocol was
signed, or it would have been expressed
in the protocol as clearly as the condi
tions regarding the cession of territory
in the Antilles and the Orient. M. Cam
bon, before the signature of the protocol,
received from Madrid, the presentment
alleged, a cable message, clearly setting
forth that the maintenance of Spain's
authority over the Philippines should
not be effected by the protocol, to which
reservation the United States at that
time made no protest or objection. This
dispatch to M. Cambon, as the Spaniards
claimed today, embodied also the view
that the United States had no valid ba
sis for any claimB in the archipelago
whatever.
It was further held today by Senor
Kios and his colleagues that the capitu
lation of Manila, having occurred after
the Bigning of the protocol, and thus
after the suspension of hostilities, was
invalid.
With all this for . a groundwork, the
Spaniards make their first positive move
against the Americans, and it consti
tuted their counter proposition. They
charged upon the United States a wrong'
ful appropriation of public money be
longing to Spain by seizing the tariff
duties at Manila, and they formally de
manded the return of these moneys in
the sum of nearly one million of dol
lars.
On these same premises the United
States was alleged ' to have made and
held as prisoners the Spanish troops a
Manila, in violation of international
law, because done after the suspension
of hostilities under the protocol.
A further charge was that by the im
prisonment of the Spanish troops at
Manila the United States had prevented
Spain from quelling the insurrection
and bad thus contributed to the violence
against Spain after the cessation of hos
tilities.
Today's Spanish presentment also
cited the refusal of the Americans to
consider the Cuban debt on the ground
that it was not sanctioned in the proto
col, and demanded an adherence to this
as a precedence to the discussion of the
Philippines, regarding a cession of
which the Spanish commissioners held
that the protocol made no mention
The statement is printed here today
with much prominence that the Ameri
cans will insist upon the immediate and
complete surrender of Spain's sovereign
ty over the Philippines, and in the event
tithe Spanish commissioners refusing to
agree to this, Judge Day, acting under
instructions from Washington, will pre
eent au ultimatum to the Spaniards. It
i8 farther alleged that this seeming haete
is due to a desire to settle the negotia
tions before the elections in the United
States take place.
HEART DISEASE
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For the
Cause.
Heart troubles, Nat least among Amer-
cans, are certainly increasing and while
this may be largely due to the excite
ment and worry of American business
fe, it it more often the result of weak
tomachs, of poor digestion.
Heal, organic heart disease is incura
ble ; but not one case in a hundred of
heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controled by branches of
the same great nerves, the Sympathetic
and Pneumotrastric.
In another way, also the heart is af
fected by that form of digestion, which
causes gas and fermentation from half di
gested food; there is a feeling of heavi
ness and oppression in the chest caused
y pressure of the distended stomach on
the heart and longs, interfering with
their action: hence arises palpitation
and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood.
makes it thin and watery, which irri
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heai t
trouble is to improve the digestion and
to insure a prompt assimilation of food.
This can best be done by the regular
U6e after meals .of some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive
elements in a pleaaant.convenient form.
It is safe to say that the regular, per
sistent ubo of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablete
at meal time will cure any form of stom
ach trouble except cancer of the b to co
ach.
Full sized package of the tablets sold
by druggists at 50 cents.

RUSHED UNDER

Collapse of a Theater Buildirg

De
troit in Which Fifteen
Were Killed.
Women
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 5. The new
five-story Wonderland theatre building
is tonight in a hopeless case cf collapse,
and fifteen or more lives have been sac
rificed by an appaling accident which
occurred there this afternoon
Shortly before 2 o'clock, while some
thirty-five men were at work in variouB
parts of the half-finished theatre por
tion of the structure, the roof fell in
without a second warning. arly every
workman was carried down into the
theatre pit. The top gallery wae cruahed
down upon the lower galleiy, forming a
sort of fatal hilieide, down which slid
broken steel girders, planks, timbers,
brick and a great quantity of cement
from the roof, and carrying along a
struggling company of men into the pit
below, very few of wbooc escaped in
jury. The front wall of the building re
mained practically intact but the east
side wall bulged out and buckled
threateningly:
Notwithstanding the latter danger,
the work of Rescuing the injured and
taking out the dead was rushed, and
good progiese made until -15, when the
upper portion tfce esft wall fell. For
tunately none o these wlo were struck

MARIA TERESA
A TOTAL LOSS
Went Down During a Gale
in the Bahamas.
ALL HANDS
WERE SAVED
Strain Opened Leaks Which Could Not
Be Stopped Ship Now Lies Three
Miles Deep Heroic Conduct of the
Officers and Men.
Charleston, S. Cw, Noy. 5. The tug
Merritt put intoCharleston this morning,
and reported the loss of the cruiser Maria
Teresa off San Salvador, the Bahamas,
November 3d, in the midst of a furious
storm.
The cruiser left Caimanera, Cuba, on
the morning of October 30 in tow for
New York. She had already passed Cape
Mayei and started northeast around the
Bahamas. A furious storm overtook
her, and in her condition she was unable'
to weather the gale. The strain opened
rents' in the hull which had been patched
to enable her to make the journey, and
she began to fill rapidly. The Merritt
took off Lieutenant-Commander Harris
and crew from the sinking ship and she
soon went down. The Merritt brought
the officers and men here. No lives were
lost.
This afternoon the survivers came
ashore. They lost all their clothing and
personal effects.
The Teresa sank thirty miles off Wal
ling iBland at midnight Tuesday. She
met tho storm Tuesday morning and be
gan to strain. Parts of the hull thought
to be safe became weakened, rivets broke
and water made rapidly in the hold
The boilers began to give way and finally
the water extinguished the fires in the
engine room. The pumps would not
work. The whole vessel showed signs
of collapse and the men stood stripped
awaiting orders to quit the ship. The
Vulcan was towine the Teresa while the
Merritt rescued 114 of the crew, made
up of volunteers irom tne Cincinnati,
Newark and Vulcan. Hopes were cut
mad she then rapidly filled. ,
The Merritt then headed for Charles
ton with the rescued. The crew left this
afternoon for Norfolk.
It is the opinion of the navy depart
ment that the gov ent has lost,, be
side the value of the ship herself, only
the amount of the per diem of $800 per
day in the sinking of the vessel, because
the contract appears to have required
the delivery by the wrecking company
of the vessels at the navy yard at Nor
folk.
- As near as they could calculate, the
vessel lies in about 2600 fathoms of
water, or nearly three miles deep. The
location Is 24 degrees north latitude, by
74:30 west longitude, about 235 miles
distant from Nassua, and 310 miles from
Caimanera, the port from which she
etarted a little over two days before.
Deafness Cannot De 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
taohian 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 result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
named concuuon or tne mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case ot" Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.
