It is surmised that the American Commissioners have béen much more concerned by Spanish over- | tures looking to the allowance of ex- 3 nal advantages for Spanish com- with’ Cuba and Porto Rico than about other matters of negotiation which really seemed to be of larger im- portance. The explanation of this is the realiza- tion of the present Commissioners that any agreement on their part to concede such special advantages might not only arouse the opposition of the commercial classes of the United States, but might bring upon the United States Govern- the | - | Ta e and Elkes could be decided be- fore midnight. e petroleum motor tandem, which as to have paced Eddie McDuffie of itute a di- | a matter which has | consider | with which’ we have treaty relations for the allowance of similar concessions under the operation of what is known as the most-favored-nation clause in those treaties. Much of the feeling ex- hibited. by thé German press -toward the United States Government was di- rectly traceable to a denial by the State Department of just such a claim pre- ferred by Germany to be excepted from the operations of the countervaliing duty in the sugar sections of the Amer- ican tariff act'on the ground that other nations were permitted to send their sugar to the United States free from this duty, and the State Deépartment has always avoided, wherever pos- sible, any action that might cause fur- ther conflfcts of this kind. | SPANIARDS ABANDON THE TOWN OF CAPIZ HONGKONG, Dec. 3.--Advices from | Capiz, -in the Philippines, say the Spaniards have abandoned that town and that the insurgents, with eight cannon, advanced upon it on November | 24. Capiz is the capital of theprov- ince of the same name, in.the island of | Panay. It is on the north coast of the and is the residence of a Span- ish Governor. It is .mostly built of wood and is defended by a small fort. {It has a population of over 11,000 persons.

L Bell, a highly esteemed miinister residing in Weedsport, Cayuga County, N. Y., in a recent letter writes as follows: “There has never been anything that I have taken that has re- lieved the Dyspepsia from which T have suffered for ten years except the new remedy called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab- lets. Since taking them I have had no distress at all after eating, and again after long years can sleep well. Rev. F. 1. Bell, Weedsport, N. Y., formerly Idalia, Cola.” Stuart’s Dypepsia Tablets is a re- markable remedy. not only because it is a certain cure for all forms of in- digestion, but because it seems to act as thoroughly in old chronic cases of dyspepsia as well as in mild attacks of indigestion or biliousness. A person has dyspepsia simply because the stomach is overworked, all it wants is a harm- less vegetable remedy to digest the food and thus give it the much-needed rest, This is the secret of the success of this peculiar remedy. No matter how weak or how much disordered the di- gestion may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food whether the stomach .works or not. New life anad energy is given not only to the stomach but to every organ and nerve in the body. A trial of this splendid medicine will convince the most skeptical that Dyspepsia and all stomach troubles can be cured. The tablets are prepared by the F. A. Stuart Company of Marshall, Mich., but so popular has the remedy become that Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets can now be obtained at any drug store ment a series of demands from the great commercial nations of the world at 50 cents per package.
