TAKING OF
CEBU ISLAND
How Oar Forces Toole Possession of
That Island.
SURRENDERED
UNDER PROTEST
No Struggle, However, Was Made
Fears of Mob Violence are Ex
pressed. New York, March 1. A dispatch- to
the Herald from London says : A letter
from Cebu dated February 22 etatea that
the United States gunboat Petrel arrived
there February 21. Captain Bormer, of
the British gunboat, and the British
consul boarded the Petrel immediately,
and then returned to the shore to confer
with the insurgents.
Eight leaders of the native forces
boarded the Petrel in the afternoon and
conferred with Commander Corn well.
They were afraid we would treat them as
the Spanish formerly did confiscate
their property and shoot them. There
fore they desired to retain their arms.
Commander Cornwell aesured theiu
that the 'present native government
would rule under his supervision. He
gave tnem until s o ciock on tne follow
ing morning to surrender.
There was great fear among the foreign
ers that the hill men would come in and
sack the town during the night, so land
ing parties were kept in readiness on the
Petrel.
Punctually at 8 o'clock the insurgent
leaders arrived with a formally written
surrender, which stated that they yield
ed to superior force, and mast await the
action of Aguinaldo, adding that they
protested against the manner in which
the Americans waged war at the end of
the enlightened l'Jth century.
A company of men landed at 9:30
o'clock and hoisted the flag over the fort
at four minutes of 10, firing a naval
ealote. The natives turned over the
government during the day. Lieutenant
Plnnkett was made captain of the port
and Parker collector of customs. The
other departments of the island's ad
ministration will be conducted by the
natives.'
Word was sent to II o Ho when the let
ter was written that fears were enter
tained that a mob wonld sack and burn
the town. Landing parties were being
held in readiness. This explains the
hasty departure of the Twenty-third in
fantry. '

ILLNESS RE
GARDED SERIOUS
Intrigues With Regard to a Possible
Conclave Begun.
London, March 1. The Rome corre
spondents the Dally News says : The
sadden changes in the weather brought
on the pope's bowel complaint, from
which he has never been entirely free
since lastj summer, and it is regarded as
alarming. This is aggravated by a pain
in the left side near the epleea.
Intrigues have already been begun
with regard to a possible conclave and
names of candidates are in circulation.
The indications are that the conclave
should it be called soon, would be di
vided distinctly into two factions. The
first is the simply religious faction sup
porting Padre Gotto, a barefoot Car
melite monk from Genoa, distinguished
merely (or learning and piety, who
would have a good chance of success.
The second faction, which favors an
extension of the political power of the
pope, has three candidates.
All of these are intransigeants and
there is no possibility of a foreigner be
ing elected pope.
A Surgical Operation.
'' Rome, March 1. The pope underwent
an operation this morning for removal
of a long-standing cyst which suddenly
became inflamed. He bore the opera
tion remarkably well. The pope's con
dition is now fairly satisfactory.
FOUR KILLED
ONE INJURED
Head-End Collision Between a Passen
ger Train and a .Freight Near
White Plains, Nevada.
OeDKN, Utah, March 1. In a head
end collision between a passenger train

four people were killed and one seriously
injured. Those killed were Engineer F.
J. Yeargin and Fireman Hendersbot, of

and another engineer, whose name waE
not learned. The head brakeman of the
freight was seriously, perhaps fatally,
injured. - -
San Fbancisco, March 1. Southern
Pacific officers in this city state that the
train wreck in Nevada was not caused
by a collision between freight "and pas
senger trains, but by the collision, of
passenger train No. 1 and a helper. The
engineer of the helper overlooked his
orders." The accident occurred one mile
east of Hot Springs, Nevada.

PECULIAR POISONS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of. Imperfect Digestion of
Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs of cer
tain d3cay and death.
In the human body these germs of
death (called by scientists Ptomainee),
are usually the result of imperfect diges
tion of food ; the result of indigestion or
dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakens,
does not promptly and thoroughly digest
the food. The result is a heavy, sodden
mass which ferments (the first process of
decay) poisoning the blood, making it
thin, weak and lacking in red corpuscles ;
poisoning the brain causing headaches,
pain in the eyes.
Bad digestion weakens the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bringing
on disease of this very important organ.
Poor digestion' poisons the kidneys,
causing brigbt's diseaee and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends npon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself not only in
loss of appetite and fle6h, but in weak
nerves and muddy complexion.
, The great Englieh scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to digest
food properly, becauee they lack the
proper quantity of digestive a.-.ids (lactic
and hydrochloric; and peptogenic pro
ducts ; the most sensible remedy in all
cases of indigestion, is to take after each
meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, because they supply in a pleas
ant, harmless form all the elements that
weak etomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any form ot trouble
except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood
strong nerves, bright eye and clear com
plexion, because all these result only
from wholesome food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets at 50 cents lull' sized
package or by mail by enclosing price to

Crops May Be Saved.
San Fbancisco, March 1, Light
showers have fallen in Northern Califor
nia during the past 24 hoars, and the in
dications are favorable for more rain,
which will be wortb millions to farmers,
fruitgrowers and miners. .
Grain is still in fair condition,
although little or no rain has fallen since
the middle of January. Reports show
that almond' and cherry trees are in
blossom in many places, fully a month
in advance of the usual time, owing to
the warm weather that has almost con
tinually prevailed' since the January
rains. Orchardists are fearful that spring
frosts, which are almost certain to occur,
will prove disastrous to' these crops. '

FLAGRANT BREACH
OF FAITH
A Samoan Correspondent of London
Graphic Declares Mataafa's Forces
Were Supplied With Arms and
Ammunition by the Germans. '
London, March 1. The Daily Graphic
publishes this morning from a Samoan
correspondent a story of recent events
there, attributing the whole trouble to
the attempts of Germany to upset the
Berlin treaty and secure supremacy in
the islande. The correspondent says:
'.'The Germans, long jealous of grow
ing British influence, seized the oppor
tunity to break faith. Malietoa's party
would undoubtedly have been victorious
if supplied with arms and ammunition
as the Germans supplied Mataafa's ; but
the British loyal to the treaty, refused
to supply either party."
The correspondent then proceeds to
describe what he calls the ''German plot
to induce Mataafa's force of 5000 men to
take the island by storm." He says on
this point:
"The Germans tried their utmost to
make the natives attack the British con
sulate and the mission house, wheie the
consul was given refuge to British sub
jects. It was only respect and fear for
the British flag that held the' natives
back.- The Germans told the natives to
kill all the English missionaries and to
sweep the 'pigs of England' into the
sea. The looting was terrible. Twenty
villages were utterly wrecked, the bouees
destroyed and the villagers left desti
tute."
Surveyors at Lyle.
Lylk, WaBh., Feb. 28. Tbe Columbia
and Klickitat railroad surveyors, under
Chief Engineer A. E. Hammond, have
been working in this vicinity since the
21st inst., on the preliminary survey of
the proposed line. Early in December
the party began at Happy Home stage
station, and have worked continually
since, making a careful survey down
Swale canyon and tbe Klickitat river to
the Columbia river at this point. The
line runs through some rough' country,
where railroad construction will be very
expeneive, but estimates, based on tbe
actual survey, do not come up to the
limit set by the company, and it-is as
serted that without doubt Vork will be
commenced on the road within 60 days.
Prominent Goldendale citizens state
that tbe right of way will be given for
the entire line.
Deafness Cannot be Cared.
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness1
and that is by 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 result, and
unless tbe 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 ear
faces.
We will give On Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Care. Send for circulars ; free.
