GREAT STORM
' PASSES AWAY
Its Center is Now Uyer Noya Scotia, and
New England Gets a Respite.
INTENSE COLD
CONTINUES
Numerous Cities are Still Buried Under
Several Feet of Snow New York
Cemeteries are Inaccessible, and
the Dead Lie Unburied.
Washington, Feb. 14. A weather
bulletin today say a that from the At
lantic coast the storm has passed on to
Nova Scotia with rapid velocity and al
most unprecedented development. Ow
ing to the extent and extreme destruc
tivenesa. this storm will always be re
membered as the greatest storm in the
history of the Atlantic coast states and
the most remarkable for the perfect
combination of the conditions necessary
to produce Bach results.
The storm swept past Washington
about midnight, and this morning the
eun shone bright on a city buried under
approximately .three feet of snow.
Washington is still cut off from railroad
communication with the outside world.
Many persons became bewildered and
exhausted during the blizzard yester
day evening and night, and fell into
snowdrifts. Two score or more persons
were picked up partly or wholly uncon
scious, and there are many cases of
severe frost bites.
The Dead Lie Unburied.
New Yobk, Feb. 14. The city finds
itself unable to bnry its unclaimed dead.
This Is in a great measure due to the
ice-bound condition of East river, which
has made it impossible for several days
for the steamers of the charities depart
ment to make their accustomed trips to
the city cemetery on Hart Island. No
burials have taken place Bines last
Tuesday, when the coffin-laden steamer
made its last trip to the potters' field.
On Friday about forty bodies were
placed on board the steamer Thomas S.
Brennan, and Captain McCarthy, made
an attempt to land them at Halt Island.
He succeeded in getting as far aB White
stone, where his further progress was
stopped by pack ice, and he found it
necessary to return to the- pier at the
foot of East Twenty-sixth street, where
the bodies were unloaded and returned
to the morgue.
Another attempt was made to reach
the island on the following day, but
again the steamer was forced to retnrn,
and land their dismal freight.
There were in the morgue on Sunday
fifty-eight bodies awaiting burial, and
this number was . raised on Monday to
eighty-two, of , which' forty-six were
adults and the remainder children. Not
only have burials been absolutely sus
pended by the city authorities, but
private undertakers generally have been
compelled to decline to conduct funerals.
SENATE AGAINST

McEnery Resolution, Declaring It Not

to Take the Philippines,ls Adopted.
Washington, Feb. 14 The McEnery
resolution was adopted in the senate
today by a vote of 26 to 22. .. The text of
the resolution is as follows :

States, but it is the intention of the
United States to establish on said islands
a government suitable to the wants and
conditions of the inhabitant! of the said
islands, to prepare them for local self

such disposition of said islands as . will

GOMEZ NEARS
THE CAPITAL
He is Expected at Havana Tomorrow
or Thursday.
New Yore, Feb. 14. A dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana says:
General Gomez, it ia now stated, will
reach Havana Wednesday or Thursday.
His reception in the country is discour
aging his opponents, who oppose the ac
ceptance of $3,000,000 from the United
States.
The mode of paying it is likely to raise
embarrassing questions. The original
purpose was to pay in - Spanish silver,
which is the common circulating me
dium, and speculators are trying to get
control of silver. The amount of silver
in circulation on the island now is in the
neighborhood of $9,000,000, and to turn
$3,000,000 of American money into Span
ish silver would take up half that earn
and would temporarily enhance its
value. '
It is hardly possible t the Ameri
can government will perocit a specula
tion to be made out of its bounty, and
the payment to the insurgent troops
may be made in American money.

Li Grippe Successfully Treated.
"I have fust, recovered from the sec
ond attack of La Grippe thia year," says
Mr. Jas. A. Jones, publisher of the
Leader,- Mexia, Texas. "In the latter
case I need Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, and I think with considerable suc
cess, only being in bed a little over two
days against ten daya for the former at
tack. The second attack I am satisfied
would have been equally as bad as the
first but for the use of this emedy as 1
bad to go to bed in about six hours after
being 'struck' with it, while in the first
case I was able to attend to business
about two days before getting 'down.' "

CATARRH OF ,.
THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, Simple: but Safe and Ef
fecual Cure for It
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or bloat
ing sensation after eating, accompanied
sometimes with sour and watery risings,
a formation of gases, , causing pressure
on the heart and lungs and difficult
breathing; headaches, fickle appetite,
nervousness and a general played out
languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth
coated .tongue and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
alimy, inflamed condition.
The cure of this common and obsti
nate trouble is found in ' a treatment
which causes the food to be readily .thor
oughly digested before it can to ferment
and irritate the delicate mucus surfaces
of the stomach. ToecUre a prompt and
healthy . digestion . ia the one necessary
thing to do, and when normal -digestion
is secured the catarrhal condition will
have disappeared.
According to Dr. Harlaneon the safest
and best treatment is to use after'' each
meal a tablet.com posed of Diatase, Asep
tic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal
and iruit acids. These tablets can now
be found at all drugstores under the
name of Stuart'a Dyspepsia Tablets, and
not being a patent medicine can be need
with perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough digestion
will certainly follow their regular use af
ter meale. -
Mr. N. J. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn
street, Chicago, 111., writes: "Catarrh
is a local ' condition resulting rom a
neglected cold in the head, w hereby the
lining membranes of the nose become
inflamed and , the poisonous discbarge
mereiroin passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro
ducing catarrh of the stomach.' Medical
authorities prescribed for me for three
yeara for catarrh of the stomach without
cure, but today I am. the happiest of
men after using only one box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find ap
propriate worda to express my good feel
ing. I have found flesh, appetite and
sound rest from their use."
Stuart'a Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form of
indigestion, catarrh of the . stomach,
billiousnese, sour stomach, heartburn
and bloating after meals. "

Improbable Rumor..
London, Feb. 14. The Paris orre
spondent of the Morning Post says :
"In financial circles it ia persistently
rumored that negotiations between the
Panama Company and the Washington
government, whereby the latter ia to com
plete the canal, are in a fair way of.be'
ing successfully concluded. It ia said
that the Panama Company would receive
a large percentage of the canal receipts
and that the Nicaragua' route- would be
abandoned." '

Toot Possession of the City Witfeout
Sustaining Loss.
REBELS FLED
JUST IN TIME
Attempt Made By the Insurgents to
Burn the City Was Frustrated by
Prompt Action on the Part of the
Americans.
Washington, Feb. 14. The navy de
partment has received the following,
which confirms previous reporta of the
capture of the city of Hollo by American
troops :
Manila, Feb. 14. The Petrel has just
reached here from Iloilo. That place
waa taken by our forcea Saturday and ia
now occupied. There were no casualties
on our side. No prisoners were taken.
The insurgent loss ia not known, but it
ia believed to have been slight. The in
surgents there tried to burn the town,
but foreign ' property was saved by the
prompt action of our forcea.
Details of the Capture.
Manila, Feb. 14. Particulars of the
capture of Iioilo by the United States
forces under Gen. Miller last Saturday
have been received here. j
On the morning of Friday, February
10th, Miller eent an ultimatum to the
commander of the rebels on shore, noti
fying him that it ' waa his intention to
take Iloilo by force if necessary. Non-
combatants and foreigners were warned
to leave the town within twenty-four
hours. The rebels were also - informed
that they must attempt no further bel
ligerent operations. The gunboat Pe
trel was then moved to a position close
in shore and near the rebel fortN, while
the cruiser Boston took up her position
at the other end of town. '
Friday, passed quietly. During the
day many, refugees left town. At 3
o'clock on the . morning of Saturday,
February 11, the Petrel signaled to the
Boston that the rebels were working in 1
their trenches. In return the Petrel
was ordered to .fire warning shots upon
the town from her three-pounders. This
was done, and the rebels replied with a
harmless fusillade. The Boeton and
Petrel then, bombarded the rebtl
trenches, completely clearing them of
their occupants.
Within a very short time after the
bombardment began flames broke out
simultaneously in various parts of the
town, whereupon the matinee, acting aa
infantry and artillery, were landed from
the cruiser Boston, and a company waa
sent ashore from the eun boat Petrel.
These, detachments marched straight in
to Iloilo, and, hoisting the stars . and
stripes over the fort, took possession of
the place in the name of the United
States., '
' The capture of the town and. its de
fenses having been accomplished, the
marines and soldiers who had been sent
ashore proceeded to the task of saving
the American, English and.. German
consulates from destruction by fire,
which was raging among the frail
and inflammable buildings of the town.
The Swiss consul's residence, which was
in the same row aa the consulates named
was burned. The entire Chinese and
native sections of the town were destroy
ed, ' but. foreign mercantile property
escaped with slight damage. There was
some desultory tiring by the enemy in
the outskirts of Iloilo, but not a single
American was injured;
. Miller's force bad complete control of
the situation when the gunboat Petrel
sailed from Iloilo for Manila. The Sixth

Deafness Cannot be Cure f
by. local applications,-aa they cannot
reach the diseased portion of "the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafnesa ia 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, Deafnesa 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
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. -
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
