THERE WILL BE NO
MORE PARLEYING
Disposition of Philippines
is Settled.
DISCUSSION
MUST BE ENDED
Positive Instructions Have Been Sent
to the Commissioners- But One
Question to Be Decided That Is
the Manner of Giving Over the
Islands to the United States.
Washington, Nov. 12. The cabinet
held a session tonight at which instruc
tions, understood to be of a positive
character, bearing on the Philippine
question, were drafted for dispatch to
the American commissioners at Paris.
These instructions were the outcome of
the conference held earlier in the day,
and instructed the American represent
atives to admit of no further diecuseion
as to the right to consider the disposi
tion of the islands, and state that on
that point the instructions already sent
must stand, the only matter for discus
sion from the American point of view
being the manner of giving over the isl
ands to the United States.
The morning session was called to con
sider a dispatch from Judge Day, In
which he informed the president that
the Spanish commissioners had asked
additional time to prepare a reply to the
propositions submitted by the United
States. - Although the president and
cabinet are exceedingly anxious that ne
gotiations should proceed as rapidly aa
possible, the request for additional time
will be granted, and the Spanish com
missioners allowed until next Tuesday
to prepare a reply.
The attitude of the insurgents in the
Philippines has given the administration
considerable uneasiness, for it is feared
that if the insurgents are allowed to con
tinue their hostile activities, tbere may
be protests which we shall be compelled
to regard.
The cabinet meeting lasted nntil near
ly 1 o'clock. One of the features was
the presentation by Admiral Schley of
the report of the Porto Kican evacuation
commiesion. Schley's visit brought up
the Porto Rico question. The admiral
was invited to participate in the dis
cussion. Concerning Cuba, a definite conclu
sion was arrived at by the cabinet to
open a port on the western coast of the
island, probably at Cieufuegos, about
December 1st, in order to allow the
large sugar planters to get in machinery
and begin work on the new sugar crop.
THE TERESA
WAS LOOTED
Natives of Cat Island Plunder the De
serted Cruiser.
Washington, Nov. 12. The official
report to the navy department of the
finding of the Maria Teresa was con
tained in the following cablegram re
ceived from Commander Craven, of the
wrecking tug Potomac, which had been
ordered to Cat island from Santiago.
"Nassau, Nov. 12. Secretary of the
Navy, Washington : Potomac arrived
Maria Teresa is near Bird point, Cat
island, one mile off shore, in two fath
oms of water. Tide is risuig and fall
ing inside; temporary deck is broken up;
movable articles were removed by na
tives. Vulcan was not seen. Natives
have been at work since Saturday."
. - The Potomac was ordered at once back
to Cat island, with instructions to Com
mander Craven to "take up the Ma. la
Teresa, and drive off the natives who
are looting the ship." He replied by
cable that be would leave immediately
and would arrive at the wreck in the
morning.
The fact that the Teresa, a vessel draw
ing 23 feet of water and waterlogged as
she was when abandoned, and now
probably drawing nearly 30 feet, had
been driven in 12 feet of water is re
garded by naval officers as evidence of
the great strength of the storm which
caused her crew to leave her.
TO CURE NERV
OUS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Means, Make. the Test of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianap
olis Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame and are suprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicine and
spring remedies ; the real seat of the
mischief is lost Bight of : the stomach is
the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in their stomachs,
nor perhaps any of the usual sympto.ns
of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspep
sia shows itself not so much in the stom
ach as in nearly every other organ ; in
some cases the heart palpitates and is
irregular; in others, the kidneys are af
fected ; in others the bowels are consti
pated, with headaches; still others are
troubled with loss of flesh and appetite,
with accumulation of gas, sour rising
and heartburn.
Mr. A. W. Sharper, of No. 61 Prospect
St., Indianapolis, Indiana, writes as fol
lows: "A motive of pure gratitude prompts
me to write these few lines regarding the
new and valuable medicine, btuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. I have been a suf
ferer from nervous 'dyspepsia for the lust
four years ; have used various patent
medicines and other remedies without
any favorable results. They sometimes
gave temporary relief until the effects of
the medicine wore off. I attributed this
to myBedentary habits, being a book
keeper with little physical exercises, but
I am glad to state that the tablets have
overcome all these obstacles, for I have
gained in flesh, sleep better and am bet
ter in every way. The above is written
not for notoriety, but is based on actual
fact. ' Respectfully yours,
A. W. Sharper,
61 Prospect St., Indianapolis, Ind."

sia Tablets will cure any stomach weak

CANYON CITY IS
NOW IN ASHES
Business Portion Destroyed
by Fire Friday Night.
CAUSED BY A
LAMP EXPLODING
Lack of Water Made the Work of the
Fire Department or No Avail
Will Be Built Up. x
Canyon Citt, Nov. 12, 8 o'clock a. m.
Canyon City went up in smoke last
night, and this morning practically
nothing is left but a mass of smoking
ruins. The entire business portion is
wiped put of existence, and only a few
of the residences, the News office, the
bowling alley, the court house and the
warehouse of Brown & SimpBon remain.
The fire originated about 10:30 o'clock
last night in the Elk Horn hotel, owned
by Jack Chambers, and was caused sup
posedly by explosion of a lamp in the
one of the bed rooms, where it is re
ported a morphine fiend was performing
some of his hellish operations.
The flames soon spread to the' Episco
pal church and to the residence of O. P,
Cresap and soon the entire town was a
mass of roaring flames. The fire licked
up everything in its path, and did not
stop until it reached the residence of
Sheriff Livingston away in the lower
end of town.
The town was situated in a very nar
row canyon, so narrow that a buggy
could not be turned around on Main
street, and for this reason no insurance
companies would take risks. Therefore
tbere was no insurance whatever on any
of the lost property, with the exception
of the Masonic ball. It will leave some
of the business men bankrupt.
The telephone office in Brown & Simp
son's store was of ' course -burned " and
nearly all the telephone poles and wires
in town, so that communication cannot
be bad with any outside point. Burns is
also cut off from Heppner and other
points.
The fire had gained such headway that
all efforts to utalize the fairly-good water
system were of no avail.
Canyon City being the countv seat of
Grant county will be built up again im
mediately.

William Townsend. a successful: far

look is now anything but promising.
"Not 100 acres of land have been

occurs those figures will not be swelled
