Havana, Oct. [I.—The disarming o(
the troops continues peacefully. Both
sides are executing the agreement they
made tvltll the provisional government.
Eleven hundred members of the militia
have laid down their arms at Clenfue-
gos, which wai regarded aa the most
dellcato point In the Island. The In
surgents there refused to disarm be
fore their opponents.
Some hitches occurred in Plnar del
Rio, where there was a number of
General Guerra's troops. Their com
manders told Major Ladd they had no
orders from General Castillo to dis
band. General Castillo was missing,
and Major Ladd hunted for him for
hours. Ifc wns finally found In retire
ment at the palace of Anita, and said
ths failure to Issue orders was all a
mistake, and that he would write them
tomorrow. Major Ladd strongly In
sisted that Castillo write the orders
Immediately, which the general did.
Major Ladd delivered the orders In an
automobile, and the work of disarming
went ont.
Now that tho disarming of the revo
lutionists and the government volun
teers Is progressing steadily, tho
thoughtful portions of the public of
all nationalities are again discussing
the possibilities of Cuba's future form
of government. The desire for annex
ation, which has been carefully con
cealed for the past four years, Is now
voiced openly, and the wish (Hat the
United States retain some measure of
actual control In Cuban affairs la
heard more Insistently than ever.
Representatives of leading elements,
both Cuban and foreign, have been
asked to attend a meeting next Sunday
to discuss the probability of holding
some sort of plebiscite by which all
classes of the population wilt be en
abled to express their Ideas on what
the future form of government should

To Try?
Not wllh drugs, but with a rein
forcement of digestive agents, such a*
are naturally at work In the atomacn?
Scientific nnnlysls shows that digestion
require* pepsin, nitrogenous ferments,
nnd the secretion of hydrochloric ncld.
When your food falls to digest, It Is
proof positive that some of these agents
are lacking In your digestive apparatus.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
nothing but these natural elements
necessary to digestion and when placed
at work In the weak stomach and
small Intestines, supply what these or
gans need. They stimulate the gastric
glands nnd gradually bring the diges
tive organs back to their normal con
dition. _ .. , . .

There la no secret In the preparation
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Their
composition Is commonly known among
physicians, as Is shown by tho recom
mendations of 40.000 licensed physl-
clans In the United Slate* and Canada.
Thsy arc the most popular of nil rem
edies for Indigestion, dyspepsia, water

ancholin, constipation, dysentery and
kindred dlsenscs originating from Im
proper dissolution and assimilation of
foods, beenuse they are thoroughly re
liable and harmless to man or child.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are at
once a safe and a powerful remedy,
one grain of these tablets being strong
enough (by test) to digest 3.000 grains
of steak, eggs and other foods. Stuart's
Dvspepsla Tablets will digest your food

Several women passengers were cut

We nve about to publish a now weekly. A magazine so different
in purpose and scope and usefulness that people will wonder why it
was not published long ago. It seems to us that this great country of
ours, with all its foreeruluess and enterprise, can afford to be constant
ly in touch with itself. We believe that we have discovered a way by
which we can give the people something they very much want and
something that they now have no other way of getting.
The unique feature of Ridgway’s is, that it will be published from
fourteen cities simultaneously every Saturday morning. How are we
going to do it ? Well, here is our plan, and we think it will look as good
to you as it does to us. Wc shall maintain a complete organization in
each of the following centers where Ridgway’s is published: New York,
Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, San Francisco, Washington, New Or
leans, Seattle, Atlanta, Denver, Cleveland, St. Louis, Pittsburg, St.
Paul and Minneapolis. In each of the fourteen cities there will be a
managing editor, with associate editors, correspondents, special con
tributors, artists, advertising and circulation managers. We intend with
the aid of our editors all oyer the country to get to the scene of every
important event at tho earliest moment after it lias happened. At mid
night of the day preceding publication each of the local editors will
wire to New York a brief editorial story of the events of his section that
he believes will be of interest to the rest of the country. In New York,
editorial writers, with Samuel Hopkins Adams in charge, will go over
these stories, shape them up, beinfe careful not to destroy the local color,
and wire three or four pages of finished editorials back to each branch,
P a F e
thus the whole country will contribute to the national editorials. A few
hours later Ridgway’s will be on the presses in fourteen cities, being
printed at newspaper speed.
The local news and editorials will be treated just as thoroughly
by the local editor for his own section. We have secured the best
man obtainable in his district, one who can reflect the life of his sec
tion, in Business, Politics, Sports, Finance, Society and Education,
week in and out. There will be nothing but clean, crisp, up-to-date
news that will keep wide-awake readers alive to the big events that
are happening around them.
What about stories and illustrations and general articles? We shall
have plenty of them. Tho best we can buy. We believe in humor and
every form of wholesome amusement. Nothing will be left undone to
make these features a great success with our readers. Wc shall seek con
tributors everywhere. Ridgway’s will undoubtedly make a great many
literary reputations, just as Everybody’s did. Wc arc already able to
announce a great serial story by Joseph'Conrad, to bo called ‘‘The Se
cret Agdnt.” It will begin in the first issue. Mr. Conrad has written
sea stories that have made him famous. In “The Secret Agent” he has
entered a new field. It is a story of European Diplomacy. The scene is
laid in London, well-known as an asylum for European Anarchists. A
story of this kind is necessarily full of action and fascination. “The
Secret Agent” is especially so.
Gelett Burgess will conduct a department of humor, consisting of
at least four pages each issue, fully illustrated. It will be kept up-to-
date. When you see the first number you will appreciate how good this
department is. Mr. Burgess will have the aid of the best artists and illus
trators at hoipe and abroad. Another feature of the illustrations will
be a sixteen-page section of half-tones printed on super paper, depict
ing important happenings, local and nationnl. There will be weekly
full-page cartoons, true to the topic and the times.
Here are some of the contributors who are now at work for us:
Emerson Hough
Brqughton Brandcnberg
Ernest Poole
Harvey J. O’Higgins
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Ralph D. Paiue
John L. Mathews
Winston Churchill
Agnes Laut
Eleanor Hoyt Brainerd
Jacques Futrelle
Henry C. Rowland
George W. Ogden
Lucia Chamberlin
One of the greatest features of Ridgway’s will be the Washington
Bureau, under the direction of Martin Egan. We propose to tell you in
an interesting way, every week, just what each department of the na
tional government is doing in your sendee. Mr. Egan will have a staff
of twelve associate editors in order to cover every department of the
government. There will be special representatives for tho Senate,
the House and the Diplomatic Sendee. This Washington Bureau will
make us better Americans. Wc arc all interested in our great big
government, yet how much do we know about it?
What will be the policy of Ridgway’s?—principally to tell
the truth. We shall go for the big things. We shall not try to run
down or over anybody. If there are two sides to a question, as
nearly always happens, we shall tell the truth on both sides, and
our aim will be to cell the truth, not because it pays and not be
cause it hurts, but because it helps. If wo give things as we find
them, the average American citizen can be trusted to reach a very
definite conclusion by tho shortest possible route. We shall stand
squarely on the platform “A Militant Weekly for God and Country.”
Ridgway’s will be on sale everywhere tomorrow morning. It will be
a 64-page weekly, and will be sold at 10c. a copy or $5.00 a year. We
advise you to get your order iu early, because advance orders indicate
a big demand, and Wc shall not print beyond immediate requirements.
You can buy Ridgway’s iu the same way as your newspaper or maga
zine. It will be sold by the newsdealer and the newsboy, on the stand
or in the street.
