EFFORTS TO
DELAY PEACE
Seat f GoTcrcmen! Again Removed This
Tims 30 Biles Away.
AMERICANS
WILL CONTROL
Generally Conceded That Further Op
position to Americans is Useless
Filipino Leaders Have Been Ready
for Several Days to Surrender.
Manila, May 19.-6:40 p.m. General
Luna is reported to be making desperate
efforts to restrain educated Filipinos
within the limits of hia self-appointed
jurisdiction from communicating with
the Americans, even to arresting
Encamino and Herrera, two of the most
influential officials coming yia San Isidro
today.
This and the removal of the seat of
government to Tarlic, thirty miles north
of San Fernando, may lead to complica
tions and delay in pacification, but it is
generally conceded that further opposi
tion to American sovereignty is useless
and ridiculous. Neither General Luna
nor Rio del Filar has sufficient force to
resist or compel submission.
New York, May 19. A dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: Definite
peace propositions from the Filipino gov
ernment are imminent. The Americans
positively have entire control of the situ
ation if the rainy season does not set in
within ten days and make further mili
tary operations impossible, should the
insurgents still prove intractable.
The purpose of the Filipino leaders to
give up the straggle against American
authority was made known by two dele'
gates of the Filipino peace commission
who remained in San Ieidro when it was
captured and surrendered to Lawton's
advance guard. In conversation with
American officers they state that the
Filipino forces have been for the last
four days willing to secure peace on any
terms that General Otis might see fit
t) offer. They declare that General Law
ton, by his rapid and energetic advance
from Balirag, has not allowed their
forces a moment's cessation from fight
ing.
Tne delegates add, as their most im
portant piece of informntion, that Agui-
naldo himself will sue for peace through
the peace commission within two days.
If he does not so act, the Filipino gov
ernment will repudiate him. as four
fifths of the natives are weary of the
war and desire an early ending of
hostilities.
DEWEY WILL
START TODAY
A Halt at Hong Kong, Where the
Olympia Will Be Thoroughly Over
hauled and Put in Trim.
New York, May 19. A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser- from Hong
Kong says : Admiral Dewey will leave
Manila on Saturday morning, the 20 inst
. If all goes well, he will arrive here next
Monday morning. Arrangements have
been made here to put the Olympia, the
admiral's flagship, in drydock as soon as
she arrives. Her long sojourn in tropi

CATARRH OF
THE STOMACH
Pleasant, Simple but Safe
Effectual Cure for It.
and
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptons are a full or bloating
sensation after eating, accompanied with
sour or watery rigings, a formation of
gases causing a pressure on the heart
and lungs, and difficult breathing; head
aches, fickle appetite, nervousness and
genet al played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue and if the stomach could
be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed
condition. -
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in . a treatment '
which causes the - food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surface of the stomach. To se
cure prompt and healthy digestion is
the one necessary thing to dojand when
normal digestion is secured the catarrhal
condition will have disappeared.
According to Dr. Haslanson the safest
and best treatment is to use alter each
meal a tablet, composed of Diastaee,
Aseptic, Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden
Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can
now be found at all drug stores 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 will follow their
regular nee after meals.
Mr. N. J. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn St.,
Chicago, 111., says: "Catarrh is a local
condition resulting from a neglected cold
in the bead, whereby the lining mem
brane of the Dose becomes inflamed and
the poisonous discharge therefrom pass
ing backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, thus producing 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 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I
cannot find appropriate words to express
my good feeling. ,1 have flesh, appetite

Remedy is the best in the world. A few
weeks ago we suffered with a severe cold
and a troublesome cough, and having

cured us before the bottle was more than
half used. It is the best medicine out

RETURN OF THE
VOLUNTEERS
Arrangements Being Made by the
Department.
War
Washington. May 18. Secretary Al
ger bad a long conference today with
the heads of the staff bureaus of the de
partment regarding arrangements for
the return of the volunteers. Nearly
every state has requested that the regi
ments be returned to the states whence
they came, as the people want to see
them as organizations instead of as in
dividuals. If - this be decided upon,
while awaiting muster out, they will be
held in camp either at San Francisco or
at stale camps, where these exist.
It is expected that the Minnesota reg
iment will be sent to Fort Snelling; the
Oregon regiment to Vancouver barracks
and the Washington troops to the post
near Seattle. It is asserted, however,
that the soldier prefer to be mustered
opt at San Francisco, as they then will
receive travel pay to their home, and
can make transportation rates, that will
give them some extra money.

duty I owe tor my neighbors to tell. about
the wonderful cure effected in my case

NICARAGUA CANAL
IS SETTLED
smmissieiicrs Settle Their Disagree
ments. READY FOR THE
PRESIDENT
It Will Recommend the Lull Route as
the More Desirable.
Washington, May 18. The Nicaragua
canal commissioners, Admiral Walker,
Colonel Haines and Mr. Haupt, are un
derstood at last to have eettled the
serious disagreements which bave so
long delayed the report of the commis
sion, and which for a time threatened to
make necessary the appointment by the
president of another commission under
the authority conferred by the last ses
sion of congress.
The compromise effected among the
immissioners results in their fixing
the cost of the proposed waterway, which
is pronounced entirely feasible, at $125,-
000,000. It is believed the report will
be signed and delivered to the president
immediately upon his return from Hot
Springs to Washington.
The members of the commission hav
ing agreed after the elaborate and
thorough consideration they have given
to the subject, it Is believed that the
last objection to the beginning of the
interoceanic waterway has been swept
aside, and that congress may be relied
upon promptly to authorize the canal's
construction.
A modified route is recommended. It
was the opinion of the commission that
of tbe two routes estimated for, the Lull
route was the more desirable, because
it is easier of construction, presents no
problems not well within good engineer
ing precedents, and will be a safer and
more reliable canal when completed, Jit
is also the expressed conviction that the
demensions and form of construction
preferred by the commission were better
than tbe cheaper form with smaller dim
ensions, which would undoubtedly call
for extensive improvements within a
short time after its completion.
