Faure's Petty Annoyances.
London, Feb. 18. There is little doubt
that the Dreyfus crisis and the scurril
ous attacks of a portion of the Parisian
papers are largely blamable for President
Faure's sad end. The "gutter papers"
have been constantly raking up court
incidents reflecting upon members of
Faure's family, though not affecting the
honor of President Faure.
Only on Thursday last the Libre Pa
role attacked the mother of Faure's son-in-law
with reference to a house which,
it is claimed, she wants to force the city
of PariB to purchase at her own price in
order to prolong the Bue Mogdar. The
city officials, it further appeared, found
the price exhorbitant and determined,
rather than pay the sum demanded, to
make a bend fn the street, after offering
her a larger and more valuable house a
few doors off, which she refused. The
matter was taken before the council of
state, which decided against the propo
sition to make a bend in- the street.
Thereupon the Libre Parole denounoed
the decision as "jobbery," implying that
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
slimy, 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. To secure a prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do, and when normal digestion
is secured the catarrhal condition will
have disappeared. -
.According to Dr. Ilarlanson the Eafept
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet , com posed of Diatase, Asep
tic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal
and fruit acids. These tablets can now
be found at all drugstores under the
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and
not being a patent medicine can be used
with perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough digestion
will certainly follow their regular use af
ter meals.
Mr. N. J. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn
street, Chicago, 111., writes: "Catarrh
is a local condition resulting rom a
neglected cold in the bead, whereby the
lining membranes of the nose become
inflamed and the poisonous discbarge
therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medical
authorities prescribed for me for three
years for catarrh of the stomach without
cure, but today I am the happiest of
men after using only one box of Stnart'e
Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find ap
propriate words to express my good feel
ing. I have found . flesh, appetite and
sound rest from their use."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as well as the simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form of
indigestion, catarrh of the . stomach,
billiousnees,' eour stomach, heartburn
and bloating after meals.

Manila, Feb. 18, 5:33 P. M. The
heat is very oppressive today, and the
troops, especially those compelled to
work in the open, have been affected.
It will probably be warmer from now on
until the rainy season.
The rebels bave been concentrating
south of the Pasig river, in front- of
Brigadier-General Ovenshine's lines, on
the right, all day long. The country in
the vicinity is a particularly thick jungle,
extending for miles. Scouts report that
the rebels are apparently coming from
Laguana and Cavite provinces. The
Americans are strongly entrenched from
the beach to the Pasig.

VOLUNTEEES HAVE
TO REMAIN
It Will Be Necessary to Keep 35,000
Soldiers in the Philippines for
Some Time.
Washington, Feb. 18. Bnt for the
recent affair around Manila the volun
teers under Gen. Otis would have been
preparing to start . homeward. The
movement of 7000 regulars to the Philip
pines was planned and inaugurated with
a view to the return of 13,000 volunteers
now on service in the archipelago. The
transports enroute to Manila were, ex
pected to lead with volunteers and star
for San Francisco soon after they
reached the former ports. Had there
been no outbreak by the Filipinos, and
bad Aguinaldo shown the disposition to
acknowledge American authority that
was expected to follow ratification of the
treaty, the first of the returning'; volun
teers would have been on their way
home before the end of Marca, probably.
But the recent events bave caused a
modification of plans. The 7000 regu
lars will be re-enforcments. The volun
teers will remain longer,until it shall
appear certain that the Filipinos do not
mean to continue fighting. Gen. Miles
thinks, since the battle of last Snnday,
that it will be necessary to keep 36,000
soldiers in the Philippines' for some
time. The plans of the president have
not contemplated so large an army there
by one-half. The only thin? to do is to
wait and see the effects of the lesson
taught.
FIRST INVOICE
In a general way the president, before
the battle of Manila, bad directed the
war department to make preparations
for a muster-out of all volunteers. The
work was to begin with those in camps
in this country. Each of these regiments
is costing about $2000 a day for pay and
support. The president said be wanted
to lessen the drain ot war expenses on
the treasury; and he felt that the vol
unteers could now be spared. Fifteen
regiments were to be disbanded juat as
fast as the mustering out routine could
be performed. lnere has been no
change in the orders since the Manila
affair. It is understood that the die
bandment of the regiments still in the
Southern camps will proceed rapidly.
After that will come the return of vol'
nnteers from Cuba.' Inquiries have al
ready been sent to commanders in Cuba
to obtain opinions as to the numbers
that can be spared. It is the intention,
unless the situation should seem to de
mand the continuance there,, of all the
troops, to bring to this country a divis
ion of the Seventh ' corps in March
Two of the immune regiments in San
tiago Province will be brought bactc in a
few weeks. By the 1st of May the gar
rison force is to be reduced to a mini
mum. The appearance of yellow fever
in a New York regiment in the interior
of the island is ' having the effect to
strengthen the purpose to reduce the
garrisoning army as rapidly as it can be
done.safely.
