LAST OBSTACLE
IS REMOVED
Commissioners Will Be Empowered to
Deal With the Situation as It Finds
It and to Take Such Actions as Is
Necessary to Place Affairs of the
Island in a Peaceful Condition.
Washington, April 14. After hear
ing thia morning from the German and
British embassies, the' state department
was enabled to announce positively and
finally that the parties to the Berlin
treaty had agreed upon the instructions
to be given their Samoan commissioners
and that it was certain the commission
would leave San Francisco April 25.
The instructions to the commissioners
are identical, the three governments
having accepted a form which com
promises the differences which have
existed up to this time. The commis
sion will be empowered to deal with the
situation as it tinde it in the Samoan
islands upon its arrival. This applies
to the acta necessary to place the affairs
of the island in a peaceful-and satis
factory condition for the time being and
subject to the approval of the three
powers.
The commissioners will have no
power to altar the treaty of Berlin.
Samoan Matters Discussed.
Washington, April 14. The cabinet
meeting today was devoted principally
. to discussion of the Samoan question
and instructions tq the American com
missioners, and to the czar's department
- conference at The Hague.
A complete written report concerning
the preliminaries leading np to hostil
ities made the secretary of the navy by
Admiral Kautz was read in the cabinet
by Secretary Long. It throws some ad
ditional light upon the complication
prior to the admiral's arrival, the most
important fact brought out being that
the three consuls, American, British and
German, at the time of the admiral's
arrival at Apia had recojjnizeoVihe
revolutionists under Mataafa.
The uprising after Chief Jubtice
Chambers' decision in favor of Malietca
Tanus, the admiral indicates, was
fomented largely by the German consul,
who insisted upon recognizing Mataafa
aa king. Chaoa was threatened, and
the American and British residents
considered themselves in peril. A mas
sacre was feared, and under the circum
stances, the American and British con
suls joined with the Germans in recog
nizing the provisional government.
THEY RIDICULE IT.
Many People Ridicule the Idea of aa
Absolute Cure for Dyspepsia
and Stomach Troubles.
Ridicule, However, la Not Argument.
. and Facta are Stubborn Things,
Stomach troubles are so common and
in most cases, so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion on
any remedy claiming to be a radical
permanent cnre for dyspepsia and in
digestion. Many such pride themselves

on their acutenesa in never being hum
bugged, especially in medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far, so far, in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak diges
tion rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims
made of a preparation so reliable and
universally need as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Now Stuart's .Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not a secret
patent medicine, no secret is made of
their ingredients, but analysis shows
them to contain the natural digestive
forments, pure aseptic pepsin, the diges
tive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, by-
drastia and nuz. They are not cathartic,
neither do they act powerfully on the
organ, but they cure indigestion on the
common eense plan of digesting the-food
eaten thoroughly before it has time to
ferment, sour and cause the mischief.
This is the only secret of their success. .

can cure indigestion and stomacr.
troubles because they act entirely on the
bowels, whereaa the whole trouble is
really in the stomach. .
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That ia all there
is to it. Food not digested or half diges
ted is poison aa it createa gaa, acidity,
headaches, palpitation of the heart, loss
of flesh and appetite and many other
troubles which are often called by Borne
other name. 1 hey are sold by druggists

Washington, April 14. Tne war de-
pat tment will reply to the telegram of
Governor Lee, of South Dakota, to Presi
dent McKinley, asking for thelmmediate
muster out of the South Dakota troops
in the Philippines, that all the troops

bring them home.
A Narrow Escape.
Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada

with a bad cold which settled on my
lungs ; cough set it and finally termi

gave me up, saying I could live but a
short time. -1 gave myself up to my
Savior, determined if I could not stay
with my friends on earth, I would meet
my absent ones above. My husband
was advised to get Dr. King's New Dis
covery for consumption, coughs and
colds. I gave it a trial, took in all eight
bottles. It has cured me, and thank

Tne Beat in tne "World..
We believe Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the best in the world. A few
weeks ago we suffered with a severe cold
and a troublesome cough, and having
read their advertisements in our own
and other papers we pnrchaeed a
bottle to see if it would effect us. It
cured us before the bottle was more than
half used. It is the best medicine out
for colds and coughs. The Herald,

There was only desultory shooting
from the retreating enemy nntil the ad
vance reached Paete, the center of the
insurgent military government in the
district of Laguna de Bay. Here the
road ia flanked by steep hills on each
side, on which the insurgents had con
structed great log trenches, and also
across the road. The North Dakota
regiment ran into a cross fire.

Bent up the steep hill and through the
thick brush to flank the insurgents. One
squad of the North Dakota regiment
suddenly came to the insurgent trench,
halting when only fifteen yards off. Only
one man in this squad got away unhurt.
The thin-clad gunboats shelled the in
surgents' position for an hour. The
enemy was finally driven out.
Our loss was five killed and two
wounded, tb,e greatest loss Lawton has

some one whose life has been saved by
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and

point of telling of it whenever opportu
nity offers, hoping that it may be the
means of saving other livea. For sale
