TO WARD OFF YELLOW FEVER
Marine Commander Takes Every Pre-
caution for His Men Against Ste-
gomyia's Dangerous Bite.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9,-Brig. Gen. G.
E. Elliott, commanding the marine
corps, has begun a vigorous campaign
to protect his men in Cuba from yellow
fever.
Ten barrels of oil citronella have been
ordered sent to Cuba immediately and
every marine on guard duty will be
supplied with n bottle of this oil to be
used in protecting himself against
mosquito bites. All marines in Cuba
are supplied with mosquito nettings I'm
their beds and head netting is alw
available for their use. but in that warm
climate the marine officers have found
that men standing on guard at night
find heat! nettings uncomfortable and
remove, them regardless of consequences.
Walter filters of a most improved
type have also been sent to Cuba by
the commandant of marines and all of-
ficers in the island have been urged to
caution marines against the use ol' un-
filtered water.
WILL PROCLAIM AMNESTY.
Governor Taft Issues Today a Sweep-
ing Pardon to All Political and
Revolutionary Offenders.
unless extreme emergenc y arises in which
il is absolutely necessary for them t«"» pro-
teet life and property-. The duties of the
marines are generally limited Lo ternler-
ing their good offices between the oon-
i licting elements and the prevention of a
irlction which, in the high state of ten-
sion between tlie political parties, is inev-
itable during the present crM:;.
The order says it is expected that the
presence of the marines from the United
States w i! create such a sense of secur-
ity that the rural guards and the police
will be able to suppress any disorder
which manifests itself. The order con-
cludes as follows:
"The President of the United States
deems it of the utmost importance that
the American forces do not engage in
conflicts with the Cubans, but thai, disor-
ders by Cubans be suppressed by Cubans.
It is also expected that the officers and
men, both of the Armv and Marine corps,
will exert every effort t<» show alii the
courttesies' possible to Cubans of all par-
ties and avoid in any way injuring their
sensibilities."
The order makes it plain that the ma-
rines will remain in tlie island for the
present as an adjunct to the army.
Governor Taft said today that practi-
cally all the American warships now in
Cuban waters soon would be withdrawn.
. An amnesty proclamation of the most
sweeping character possible, pardoning
every serious crime which has been an
outgrowth of the recent revolution and
its causes will be issued by Governor
Taft tomorrow. Complete pardon is
granted to all persons involved in the
killing of Viluendns at Cienfuegos in Sep-
tember. 1905, as well as to everybody im-
plicated in the killing of several rural
guardsmen at Guanabacoa last February.
Trouble Is Predicted.
Trouble is predicted by some Cuban
publications as a result <>f this decision
to withdraw the prosecutions against the
murderers of Viluendas
The proclamation serves notice that
armed bands breaking the law after to-
morrow will be proceeded against and
denied the benefits of amnesty. The
proclamation after reciting that the in-
surrectionary forces have been disband-
ed. that active hostilities have ceased
and that it is the purpose of the
provisional government to promote the
restoration of normal conditions of peace
favorable to the early re-establishment
of Cuban self government, declares as
follows:
"Without reservation or condition, ex-
cept as hereinafter provided, there shall
be full and complete amnesty and pardon
to all who directly or indirectly partici-
pated in the recent insurrection in Cuba
or who gave aid or comfort to the per-
sons participating therein and for politi-
cal offenses committed in the course of
said insurrection."
The amnesty is declared to cover rebel-
lion, sedition and conspiracy and gives
immunity from prosecution for seizures
and expropriation of property for mili-
tary use by the insurrectionary forces.
Prosecutors are expected to have the
proclamation applied to cases in which
judgment has already been rendered and
those in which sentence is being served.
Individuals and bands w.ho after this
date are found with arms or disturbing
the public order or otherwise violating
the laws of the Republic are to be de-
nied all the benefits under the preceding
proclamation, and will be arrested and
proceeded against for suqji new viola-
tion of tlie law under normal conditions.

HAVANA, Oct. 9.-\Vm. II. Tat't, as
Provisional Governor of Cuba and Secre-
tary of State of the United States, issued
a statement today to Gen. Frederick Furi-
ston outlining the duties of the American
forces in Cuba.
The officers of marines stationed in the
various localities are advised that they
urn not expected to take pun in any ac-
tive way in the suppression of disorder
Turn Your Face
!nSo Oollars.
Many a Man Has Failed Because His
Face Was a Picture of Calamity.
It takes sunshine to produce a rose,
u perfect rose. And so man, to be suc-
cessful, must have sunshine inside. The
life which has it not, which has no
health and 110 happiness, is sour, surly,
pessimistic and a failure. The world
already has too many vinegar faces that I
breathe ill-will and strife. The worlu ;
wants joy, comfort, sunshine, and will j
cling to the man who has it. who radiates
gladness and triumph wherever he. is and
under all circumstances.
Some people nave a genius for seek-
ing out. the disagreeable, the crook- i.
th<* bad and tin; ugly. These are the
destroyers; they travel in schools, thev
herd together for they lov> their kind,
una the cheerful part of ti.- world will
have nothing to do with them.
And why is it that so many peddle dis-
aster knowing at tlie sane; time that
if thev do, their lives will be ruined.'
Some people can not help it, for pessim-
ism usually collies from bodily disorders,
and this can not always be prevented.
The stomach, for instance, is the most
common cause of discontent, sour fact ,
recklessness, disgust and iack of ambi- !
tion. A bad stomach—there is tin.- s. -
cret of many a failure. Anyone can
have a good stomach, a strong stoma'-: 1, I
a stomach that can take care of an - i
thing and ever -thing that is put into i;,|
no matter whether it is a very b id
stomach now or not. Then why not. !
have it?
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this very
thing. One ingredient of these little tab-
lets digests 3000 grains of food, and no
matter how bad is your dyspepsia or in-
digestion, these tablets will digest eve 1 .-
tiling in your stomach thoroughly anc
completely, and better and quicker than
a healthy stomach can do the same thing.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure
quickly loss of appetite, brash, irritation,
burning sensations, nausea, heartburn,
eructations, loss of vim and spirit, bad
memory and dyspepsia, and indigestion in
their very worst forms.
No other little tablets in the world can
do so much. Ton should carry Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets around with you
wherever you go and take them after
meals. Then only will vou realize what
it is to enjoy a meal, and what perfect
"digestion means. Your whole body and
your mind will feei *h-- effect; your
vim will increase, you will be more sat-
isfied with what the world does, vou will
think happier and he happier ami your
face will be one o? supreme contentment.
That will bring you success and then
more success. Your face will bring vou
dollars. Try it. rt will cost you just'Guc
for a package of these wonderful Stuart's
Dyspepsia. Tablets, at any drug store on
earth.
A decree deciding tlie vexed question
whether the late Cuban rebels have
rightful title to the horses in their pos- •
session at the time the rebel forces were I
disarmed and disbanded was made pub-
lic by Governor Taft tonight.
It is ordered that in every action where
the plaintiff by proper evidence and '
identification proves his title, it shall ;
nevertheless be sufficient defense if the (
possessor of the horse by lawful evi-
dence shall establish that he was a j
member of the late forces in the in-
surreetion and had possession of tho j
horse on Oct. 1, and that lie received a
certificate from his brigade commander |
turning over the animal to his custody. !
In such cases horses are to be treated
as having been expropriated to the Gov-
ernment for the purpose of securing
peace and the owner shall b<> entitled
to just compensation from the provi- !
sional Government for the reasonable ;
value of the horse of which he was do- !
prived. It is provided, however, that no j
member of the insurrectionary forces |
may claim more than one horse. Noth-
ing in the order shall be construed as
determining the rights of owners of
horses and other property taken by in- j
surrectionary forces which said owners
are unable to identify. The matter of
identification by the Government of
such horses and other property is re-
served for future decision.
ALL BUT ONE DISBANDED.

HAVANA, Oct. 9.—The disarmament
commissioners in .Santiago report that
all insurgents in that province have
be. 11 disbanded with the exception of
one band, which is in an inaccesible
region near Bayamo. Governor Taft
has ordered the cruiser Des Moine.s to

African Bishop Says Disfranchise-

Else Trouble Will Result.
NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—Disfranchisement
and lynching will be the two chief sub-
jects of discussion by the National Afro-
American council, the annual session of .
which will continue for three days.
At today's session Corresponding Sec-
retary Rev. L. G. Jordan of Louisvillcs
Ky., in his annual report said: "We
have sent letters from every State in
the Union to members of Congress call-
ing attention to the great wrongs being
done us by disfranchisement and 'Jim
crow' laws, and have received some
very encouraging replies."
A resolution offered by Mr. Jordan
for the appointment of an executive
committee with a view of enlisting the j
sympathy of prominent men in a move- ,
ment for the adoption of liberal laws !
in the interest oil the negroes was
adopted.
Uishop Walters, president of the Coun- !
cil. in speaking of disfranchisement, said: I
"II the ignoble work of disfranchise-I
merit in the South is persisted in, a con- \
flit t is sure 10 come in which the negro
will not be the only sufferer. Business
will lie paralyzed, credit destroyed and
desolation and ruin will surely follow.
The quickest and best way to peace is
for those who are in authority to proclaim '
to the Nation that every negro able to j
tho qualification of the Revised
Constitution shall be allowed to register
and vote without molestation."

TO DAVIDSON
Continued from Page One.
a good practice to recall private conver-
sations in public communications, but I
l'eel justified in reminding you of what
transpired between us at Washington.
You will easily remember that when you
were there and tho papers stated that
your mission was to secure what infor-
mation you could from the Bureau of
Corporations with respect to the connec-
tion of the Waters-Pierce Oil Company
and the Standard Oil Company, 1 called
on you at your hotel and told you that
if there was any way in which 1 could
assist you in securing the information
you desired from the Bureau of Corpora-
tions, I would be glad to do so. You
thanked me for the tender of my good
office in that respect, and told me that
the bureau had been very prompt to
supply you witli all the information in
its possession. We then talked further
about the case and I told you that when
you were ready to begin your prosecution
I was ready to help you.
Takes Issue
as to Value of Evidence.
In your letter you state that the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company "was read-
mitted into this State by a fraud," and
the very ground upon which you expect
to exclude it is that it made fraudulent
representations as to its independence of
trusts; and yet. you say that the tes-
timony which l offer to furnish you as
to these very misrepresentations will be
of no "material value to the State's
case."
You must prove that company's repre-
sentations in order to win your case, and
consequently it seems to me that no
testimony could be more-material.
Tii ■ fact that you practically decline
to accept my offer to testify, convinces
me beyond the shadow of a doubt that
I and my friends were right in thinking
that it would not have been agreeable
to your feelings or consistent with self
respect, had Tasked to be associated
with you as an attorney in the conduct
of the case.
Indeed, with your own legal staff and
with the private counsel which have
bet n employed, it seems to me that you
need witnesses more than you do law-
vers, and I have no doubt that the best
and most effective service which I could
render Texas in punishing the fraud that
has been practiced upon her laws, would
be to furnish the evidence of that fraud.
Of course i am aware that the frau-
dulent misrepresentations were not made
to me at the time when the company's
permit to do business in Texas was is-
sued to it. but they were made to me
and to the officers of the State in my
presence a short while before that, and
are not only competent, but are most
material.
As the chief law officer of the State,
it is your privilege and your duty to
conduct this litigation according to your
best Judgment, and I have neither the
right nor the disposition to obtrude upon
you my views or my assistance, but I
have the satisfaction of knowing that
1 have done my duty to the people of
Texas by offering, and that too. without
any effort, to allay political excitement,
testimony which you must have in order
to make out vour case. I am constrained
to believe that if the defendant admits
its misrepresentations, as you say it will,
it Will do so. because it understands that
I can and will testify to them. If, how-
ever it does not please you to avail
vourself of my testimony, the people of
Texas will understand your reasons.
Very truly, J- W. BAILEY.

TalkN About Hie Analysis of Postum
Food Coffee,
To the Doubling Thomases, the en-
dorsement of a j hysician as to tlie whole
j someness of Postum Food Coffee may be
comforting.
When coffee causes nervousness ami
dyspepsia. it'L time to stop it. And there
is where Postum is a true comforter. It
is a warm palatable and wholesome bev -
erage ana r*t tho same time is a liquid
food.
Coffee dees harm, not because it's well
or poorly made—not because it's high or
low priced-1 tit because of the alkaloid —
drug—caffeine, it contains* T'.'c habit-
ual use of coffee, therefore, forms a drug
habit.
A Buffalo physician said reeenrly, "I
have used Postum Food Coffee in my
family and find it to be all that is
claimed fer it—a must wholesome, de-
licto.is bevtr&ge. When made and served
according to directions it is certainly de-
lightful an 1 refresh ir-jr.
"I have read carefully Dr. Davenport's
analy is of Postum Food Coffee-, as print-
ed on the pkg.,.which I most, heartily en-
dorse. I have been prescribing it to my
path lit j."

LONDON. Oct. 9.— A voluminous report
made by the Cotton Commission sent out
by the Lancashire cotton spinners was
made public today. The chief feature
of the report is t lie recommendation to
purchase land in the great cotton belt of
the Southern States for the purpose of
supplying British needs. It declares there
is ample land in the Southern States to
produce rot ton to supply the world's re-
quirements for years to come and that
with scientific cultivation one bale per
acre should be obtained, while great
economies are possible in ginning, bailing
and transportation.
The promoters of the commission are
so impressed with th< subject that thev
have decided to send to America another
commission vested with fuller powers
than the first.
The second commission will sail in a
few days and will reach the cotton belt
in time to witness the picking of the crop.
