NO. 38
MUST RECOGNIZE
MONROE DOCTRINE
Demands of the United States Regard
ins the Constitution of the New
Republic May Keep Mi'itary Force
on Island.
New Yokk, Feb. 12. A epecial to the
Herald from Washington says : As a re
jultola conference between President
McKinley and Secretary Root, nipple
mental instructions were sent to General
Wood to call attention of the Cubn con
stitutional convention o( the importance
and necessity of including the require
ments ul this government in the consti
pation. It i demanded that the Monroe
doctrine shall be recognized; that Cuba
ehftll not mortgage the island to any foi
tijn power; that tne United States be
given the right to establish naval stations
at Havana, Guantanamo, Ntpe, Cienlue
gos, and the right to tnalulain at least a
prt of the military force in the islnm),
and that the United States shall assist
Cuba in maintaining a stable govern
ment. On account of the situation in Cuba
there has been renewed talk of the prob
ability of an extra session of congress.
The president has reiterated bin desire
to have congress take action in relation
to Cuba at the earliest possible moment,
and advices received from General Wood
within the last two davs are said to be
of inch a character as to make an extra
session practically imperative.
The Cuban planters now in Washing
ton trying to have ttie dutv taken oh"
tobacco imported from Cuba into the
United States, and to obtain other
modifications of the tariff" in favor of
Ciban products, have been advised to go
home and tell their people it is impJSBible
to grant them any such favors, became
until a Cuban government has been
organized, a reciprocity treaty cannot be
negotiated, while Cuba has nothing to
give in return for concession, and there
does not seem to be a disposition on the1
part of any one in Cuba to grant any !
concessions to the United States. Anj
effort is being made to use this op- J
portuntty to open the eyes of the Cuban- I
to the necessity of favorably considering
the demands of the United States as to !
tho provisions of the new constitution.
Senator Morgan, chairman of the com
mittee on interoceanic canals, agrees
that it Is necessary for the United States
to retain coaling and naval stations In
Cnba. Infor-nation recently sent to his
committee by Captain Sigsbee, chief in
telligence officer, shows that there are
in the West Indies, 18 ports under the
control tt Great Hritaln, four under
Franco, two nnder the Dutch and two
under Denmark. Of the British ports,
the most important are on the islands of
Bermuda and Jamaica. To offset these
stations on the southern side of Cuba it
essential.
Senator Morgan says the strength of
the British outposts show the wisdom of
the navy department in selecting naval
stations in Cuba, and emphasizes the
necessity of this conntry retaining pos
seteion of them.
Prevented a Irageriy.
Timely information given Mre. George
Long, of New Straitaville, Ohio, pre
vented a dreadful tragedy and saved two
lives. A frightful couch had long kept
her awake every night. She had tried
many remedies and doctors but steadily
grew worse until urged to try Dr. King's
New Discovery. One bottlo wholly cured
her, and she writes this marvelous
medicine also cured Mr. Long of a severe
attack of Pneumonia. Such cures are
positive proof of the matchless merit of
this grand remedy for curing all throat,
chest and lung troubles. Only 50c and

AsTOitiA.Feb. 13. H. W. Cottle, secre
tary ot the Phoenix Oil & Fuel Compnny,
of Sun Francisco, has written local
neonlo about the oil field enterprises
which have been launched here. Mr.
Cottle states that he made n trip of ex
ploration eolith of tho city lust year, and
that ho found unmistakable traces of oil.
Hu exnresees tho belief that oil will bo
found in iBruo ouuntitieH near Astoria,
and is deirious of taking stock in a com
pany having for its object development
of the fields.
Tlie comnany which is now prepaaing
to develop the coal fields a few miles
east of the city hopes to find oil on its
nronertv. Kverv indication points to
extensive oil deposits, and, though the
company is after coal, the possibilities of
tho section aB an oil producer will not
tie overlooked. This company is already
well organized and the work of develop
ment will be commenced in the Spring.
The company has secured several
thousand acres of coal lands, and expects
soon to be supplying northwest commerce
with fuel. .

Pi.ainhki.ii, N. J., Feb. 13. From an
ash barrel that had been consigned tn a
dump, Colonel Julian Scott, the well-
known artist, bus rescued a death mask
of Napoleon, which wus taken at St.
Helena after the death of the great
general, The mask la a mate to the one
highly prized in the collection of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, which was
presented by Mrs. Astor.
Tho musk found by Colonel Scott be
longed to the Spooner collection of vain
able works of art when the owner lived
in North Plaiufield. After his death it
fell into the bands that did not know its
valuu, and gradually drifted to one sido,
until it fell into the ash barrel, and was
found just in the nick of timo by Colonel
Scott. Although somewhat damaged
now, Colonel Scott believes that he will
bo able to restore it to its original value.

I'rnhuhly Futrtl Accident.
Si:.tti.k, Feb. 13. Frank Missa, aged
28, met with what will probable prove a
fatal accident last Sunday, while riding
a bicyclo down a Btoep grade at Ponton,
a small mining town near this city. Ttie
handle-bar of the bicycle penetrated his
abdomen in such a manner that hopeB
of his recovery are small.
A powerful engine cannot be run with
a weak boiler, and we can't keep up the
strain of an active life with a weak
stomach ; neither can we stop the human
machine to make repairs. If the stomach
cannot digest enough food to keep the
body strong, such a preparation as Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure should bo need. It di
gests what you out and it simply can't
help but do you good. Clarke A Falk's,
P, O. Pharmacy.

Nkw Yuuk, Feb, . A special tn the
Herald from Washington says; Presi
dent McKinley has Informed his cabinet,
unofllcially, that he has heard from Am
bassador Choate, and that Mr. Choate is
not disposed to accept the attorney-generalship.
The president made the tender of this
place to Mr. Choate several weeks ago,
desiring to get the strongest available
man to eticceed Mr. Griggs. Mr. Choate
wishes to continuo as ambassador at the
court of St. James, and if that is satis
factory tj the president no change at
that post is expected.
Recent experiments show that all
classes of foods may bo completely - di
gested by a preparation called Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure, which absolutely di
gests what you eat. As it is the only
combination of all the natural digestants
ever devised the demand for it has be
come enormous. It has never failed to
cure the very worst cases of indigestion
and it always gives instant relief. Clarke
