THE DEBT PROBLEM
OUR PEACE COMMISSIONERS ARGUE
AGAINST SPANISH CLAIM.
Spain Means to Give Up Cuba and Porto
Hieo 'Without I>ubate, but She Main
tains that All Precedent f Internatlo*
I ual Law Itequlrcis tliat We Aefuinc it.
Paris, Oct. 19.—The Gaulots yesterday
reviewed the work of the Joint peace
commission, and, referring to the de
lay caused by the difference in the
language spoken by the commissioners,
.adds:
"But, according to the Spaniards, the
main cause of the difficulty encounter
ed In the negotiations comes from the
lack of conciliation In the attitude of
the American commissioners. It Is
known In regard to Porto Rico and
Cuba that the articles of the Protocol
are absolutely positive—Spain cedes
Porto Rico to the United States and
relinquishes (abandons) sovereignty
over Cuba. These two points are defi
nitely settled and are not open to dis
cussion. Besides, the Spaniards make
it a j oint of honor to scrupulously
{bide by their engagements toward
hei' conquerors.
"The question of the Cuban debt re
mains Upon which power should the
onerous obligation of guaranteeing the
debt rest? Here Is where the two com
missions differ In their views and nei
ther is Inclined to yield. The Span
fa j'ds agree on the following lines:
When a power annees territory It is
implied that It assumes all the obliga
tions of suoh territory. It is interna
tional law, sanctioned by usage, and
which has always been complied with.
Thus, when France anneed Savoy, she
assumed all the debts contracted by
the latter while still an Italian prov
ince.
Lastly, they remind their opponents
that Cuba is virtually the key of the
Gulf of Mexico, a strategic position of
the first order to the United States,
and an Immense advantage, which calls
for some sacrifice upon the part of tne
Americans.
"To this the latter replied at first
that they could not listen to any dis
cussion of the matter of the debt, being
under formal Instructions from their
government. But, on the Spanish com
mission insisting, and in the presence
of its very firm attitude, the Americans
have taken a more conciliatory atti
tude, not that they entertain the Inten
tion of yielding to Spain's Injunctions,
hut tliey consent to argue against the
Spanish position. These arguments
may be briefly summed up as follows:
i "The Americans insist upon the fact
that the money raised by the Cuban
loans was not applied to the require
ments or interests of the Island, but
was chiefly borrowed to the end of Im-.
proving the financial condition of Spain
and to procure funds which she could
no longer raise In the Peninsula, aud
that the debt, therefore, Is personal to
Spain.
I "On the other hand, the Americans
say that America has no intention of
I annexing Cuba and could not, there
fore, assume such obligations.
"Finally, It is held that, owing to the
fabulous cost of the late war, the Am
erican people would not concede the
right to assume such obligations.
I "These are, approximately, the
grounds on which the present discus
sions are conducted. What will the
outcome be?
"Certain newspapers have considered
the possibility of referring the differ
ence to the arbitration of a continental
power. Neither commission has yet
suggested such a solution, but, on the
other hand, we have good grounds to
believe that, even were the suggestion
acceptable to Spain, it would have no
chance of being agreed to by the Am
ericans."
j gear of Small Pox at Ithaca.
Hhnca, N. Y„ Oct. 18.—The board of
health of Cornell university, of which
Professor James Law is chairman, ha 3
promulgated an order requiring every
student who Is 111, or becomes ill, to
report at once to the physical director,
iDr. Hitchcock, for examination, that
his ailment may be properly dlagnoß
ed.
' This uction is taken on account of
the prevalence of small pox in thi9
county. The village of McLean, where
the disease is epidemic, is only ten
miles from the university, and is vis
ited to some extent by students, and
the board is fearful that the disease
may be spread among them.
There are now twenty-five cases of
small ix at McLean.
. Upon reporting to Dr. Hitchcock stu
dents will be taken to the office of the
health officer of the city of Ithaca to
receive a clean bill of health or the
opposite.

THE WAR INVESTIGATION.
I>r. IWitu. Bny There IVJI No Suffering
Anions tUeSlck.
Jacksonville, Pla., Oct. 19.—The war
Investigating commission began the
examination ol witnesses at Jackson
ville yesterday, using the office room
of General Dodge's private car for the
purpose.
Colonel Louis M. Maus, chief surgeon
of the Seventh army- corps, was the
first witness sworn. He ;*id there was
only a small field hospital when he ar
rived In May, and there were very few
sick men. Sickness developed verj'
slowly and there was very little of it.
until July. When the ouder came for
the establishment of division hospital)
there was some delay in getting sup
plies, such as tents. There was no suf
fering among the sick. Still they die
not have the luxuries that they did ai
the beginning of the war.
"Nor," added the doctor, "do I think
that the history of the world has ever
seen a parallel to our present care ol
the sick."
Taking up the present condition of
the hospitals he said there were three
hundred trained nurses now at work
here. He said the employmeht of these
nurses had proven satisfactory.
Replying to a question, Dr. Maus said
that after the first few days there had
been no refusal of supplies and that all
requisitions had been filled with excep
tional promptitude. He had never seen
such an utter disregard of expense In
caring for sick soldiers. As a matter
of fact the troops had a greater allow
ance of rations than they could use or
dispose of in any way.
He also said that the Red Cross So
ciety had given so much that it was
often unnecessary to ask the govern
ment for supplies. There had been no
restriction in the matter of fitting out
the camps.
He thought typhoid had been intro
duced to the camp by Mississippi and
Virginia troops. Shallow wells and
surface drainage had done much to
increase the scourge, but he was confi
dent that the regular water supply of
the city had not been In any way re
sponsible for it.
He also thought the flies had done
much to disseminate fever. From the
beginning very strict attention had
been given to the sinks. He had never
in his life seen such attention given
to sanitation in a camp, but despite
thi3 care typhoid did break out and had
become the principal sickness here.
Dr. Maus said that he had found it
difllcult to prevail upon surgeons in the
volunteer service to learn the duties
of their position. As a matter of fact
these duties were extremely onerous,
and for this reason fhe volunteer phy
sicians were not so efficient as they
should have been.
Dater on sanitation became the prin
cipal duty of everybody about the
camp. Much trouble has been experi
enced in keeping the public from the
hospitals. In many cases they had sur
reptitiously carried food to the sick.
Mr. Maus also dwelt upon the newspa
per reports of the sufferings in the
camp, saying that they had generally
grown out of exaggerated statements
from the men themselves.
fhi Yellow Fever Kpldeiulc.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 19.—A dis
patch to the marine hospital service
from Franklin, La., reports seven new
cases of yellow fever there.
Jackson, Miss., Oct. 19.—Jackson's re
port of new cases of yellow fever yes
terday was unusually large, the total
being fifteen.
There were no deaths. The board of
health's official latest report for the
state is as follows:
Madison—One new case and one
death.
Poplarville—Four new cases.
Starksville —No new cases In four
days.

Yazoo City—Five cases and two sus
picious.

Meridan—Two cases.
Canton—One case.
Hattlesburg—Four new cases and one
death.
Waveland—One new case.
The board has issued an order re
scinding the order dated August 17,
quarantining Mississippi against Key
West, Fla.
Spain Claims Haulages
Madrid, Oct. 19.—The Heraldo says
that the minister of marine has taken
preliminary steps to claim damages
from the Creusot gun foundries of
France for not delivering within time
certain war material ordered from
them.
Damages will also be claimed from
the Flacenla arms factory for the same
reasons, and the British firm of Thomp
sons. the Clydebank shipbuilders, will
be asked to pay damages upon the
ground that the torpedo boat destroyers
built In their yards for Spain failed to
develop the speed required by the terms
of the contract.
A leave of Absence Ruling
Washington, Oct. 19.—An order which
will greatly relieve the minds of the
families of ocers detailed to duty In
the Philippines is, bullctlnech whereby
leaves of absence granted to such offi
cers are to date from the day of their
arrival in the United States, and will
be considered as terminating on the
date of departure from this country to
return to their commands.
Any other rule, of course, would
greatly limit such leaves of absence,
as the time spent on the ocean voyage
each way would have to be deducted
from the total period allowed.
flov. Vnorhm 1 Resignation
Trenton, N. J., Oct. 19.—Acting gov

THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG. PA.
A Woman 9 s
Work.
For thirteen years this woman suffered from a help
less infirmity which baffled skillful medical treatment.
She was restored to health in a remarkable manner,
and is now helpful to other sufferers.
For thirteen years Mrs. George L. Rogers,
of West Main Street, Canton, N. Y., suffered
from the indescribable tortures of inflam
matory rheumatism.
Only persons who have been afflicted
with this disease know what such suffer
ing is.
Those who have never felt the pangs of
this ailment have not the remotest idea of
its tortures.
For years this was an obstinate disease
to cure.
In recent years, however, there has been
formulated a remedy which successfully
copes with it.
The many cureseffected by Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People attest to that fact.
One of the striking examples is Mrs.
Rogers' experience.
Inspcaking of it to a reporter she said >
"Thirteen years ago I was attacked with
inflammatory rheumatism and a complica
tion of diseases.
" I cannot begin to describe my sufferings
during that time.
"You can judge somewhat of what I
endured, when you look at these hands."
They were distorted, twisted and swollen.
"My foot, too, is so much out of shape
that the big toe lays across the others, the
end touching the little toe.
"Notwithstanding I am sixty-five years
old, have a pleasant home and other com
forts, life to me was far from enjoyable, for
all other things pale into insignificance when
you are without good health.
PEACE JUBILEE AT PHILADELPHIA
Special Excursion Rates via Philadelphia &

monstration held in the United States.
The grand Military and Naval review,
Civic and Industrial Parade, rededi
cation of Independent Hall restored
to its colonial appearance, and the un

will all be well worth seeing, rememb
ered and talked of in future years.
The appropriation of Fifty Thousand
Dollars by Philadelphia City Councils
and the guarantee of as much more
by the Citizens Committee, over half
of which has been already subsciibed,
makes it certain that no expense will
be spared to make it the celebration
of the Cencury. The Philadelphia &
Reading Railway has made arrange
ments whereby Excursion Tickets to
Philadelphia from all principal points
on its line, also on the Atlantic City
Railroad, and all leased or allied lines

Zryiht COLUMBIAN a year.
I tried different doctor, apd many pro
prietary remedies, but no permanent bene
fit was obtained.
"Last March I was induced to try Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
"Before I had finished the first box I began
to feel that they were doing me good.
"1 continued using them and steadily
grew better.
"1 have used thirteen boxes of the pills
and to-day feel better than for the past fif
teen years.
"My appetite is good > I feel bright, cheer
ful and have a desire to live and enjoy society.
" I have been a member of the Methodist
church for many years, but for six years
was unable to attend.
"Now I am able to attend the church
services regularly and certainly appreciate
that privilege.
"I consider Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People a wonderful medicine and am
confident no other remedy could have
effected the wonderful cure they have in
my case.
I am glad to state this, hoping that some
sufferer may profit by it and obtain relief."
It was nature's own remedy that accom
plished this cure caused by impure blood,
for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
are composed of vegetable remedies that
exert a powerful influence in purifying and
enriching the blood. Many diseases long
supposed by the medical profession to be
incurable have succumbed to the potent
influence of these pills. This universal
remedy is sold by all druggists.
