; R. R. C. PHELPS, the leading pension
attorney of Belfast, N. Y., writes:
“I was discharged from the army on
account of ill health, and suiTered from
heart trouble ever since. I frequently had
taintiDg and smothering spells. My form
was bent as a man of W). 1 constantly wore
an overcoat, even in summer, for fear of
taking cold. I could not attend to my busi
ness. My rest was broken by severe pains
about the heart and left shoulder. Three
years ago I commenced using Dr. Miles’
Heart l ure, notwithstanding 1 had used so
mm. h patent medicine and taken drugs from
doctors for years without being helped. Dr.
Miles’ Heart Cure restored me to health. It
is truly a wonderful medicine and it affords
me much pleasure to reeommeud this rem

An Uld Ship Master's Yarn About tiie
Philippines.
New York Sun.
“When Uncle .Sam comes lo look
into the conditions of government
now existing in the Philippine Islands
with a view to altering them to suit
Yankee nations, he is going to he ever
lastingly surprised. In the first place,
be is going to find that the Chinese are
the real masters, instead- of the late
lamented Dons, just as they are to-day
virtually in control of nearly all the is
lands of Malaysia. In the second place,
he is going to find that the dissatisfac
tion of the revolting natives is directed
as much against these same Chinese as
against the Spanish, and that the cry
against the cheap Chinese labor rings
out as widely at Manilla and elsewhere
in the islands as it did in this country
prior to the restriction ot Chinese im
migration.”
After this declaration Capt. .John
W. Merritt, of San Francisco, paused
to take breath and to stroke a monu
mental merschaum. He is a retired
shipmaster who lias seen forty-live
years of gales and calms on the bosom
of the Pacific and was spinning yarns
for the entertainment of a group of
friends.
“The population of the Philippines,”
’ he continued, “is the most heteroge
neous to be met with in all the Kanaka
Islands. They say it numbers S,OU0,-
000, souls, I was going to say,hut,bless
you, most of them are just the common
est kind of black or brown bodies mean
dering around at the dictates of the most
corporal kind of impulse and instincts.
The mountains are filled with wild
tribes of diverse origin, few of which
hat" ever been conquered or subdued
by the Spanjsh. They are as ferocious
as Cerberus and as black as his master.
Among them are the negritos—‘little
niggers,’ that means, translated. They
are wirey, tough, and bad little giants,
who yield only to such civilization as
is introduced by powder and ball. These
fierce tribes swarm all over the 1,200
island' ;n the group, and 1 venture to
fiiy that not one-half of th'.'ni have ever
1. f’-r. Under the Spanish yoke.
••The tagals, who live on the larger
islands, like Luzon and Mindanao, are
rather peaceful people and do a little
farming between cock tights. Then
comes the Bisayans, who are great
fishermen and live on the water be
tween the islands. They carry on a
desultory sort ot commerce and stir up
revolts. The Malay Indians form the
majority of the population under Span
ish rule, with the Papuans a good sec
ond. Native whites and Europeans are
itf out 400,000 strong, while the Chi
nese and the half-caste natives of India,
who have been drifting into the Philip
pines for ages, number, collectively,
about 125,000. iso, you see, the Cau
casian, Mongolian and Ethiopian divis
ions of the human family have all con
tributed a share to the islands.
“Now, the natives are lazy to a su
perlative degree. It’s that way in all
the Kanaka Islands, and the generous
way in which good Mother Nature lias
provided for them is enough to excuse
their shiftlessness. ‘Go out and lie down
under the first tree in sight at night
and enjoy a sleep. In the morning
roll over on your back shy vour loot
up into the tree and down comes break
fast.’ That’s their way of reasoning it
out and most of them practice it. Their
I Chinese have been quick to seize upon
I and turn to advantage—no opportunity
! ever escaped a Chinaman.. lie is ac
tive, capable and unceasing in his ef-
i forts when he turns his hand to labor
j or mechanics. In commerce he is the
! most astute merchant on the face of the
globe. In finance he is without a sup-
i trior. So the Chinese have become
I the mechanics, clerks, traders, shop-
| keepers and bankers of the islands, and,
/ therefore, the real power. Their en-
1 ergy and capacity made* them indis
pensable to the Dons. In return for
their faithful offices and the handsome
presents they bestowed upon the Span
ish officials, the Chinese were allowed
to have civil regulations and a police
of their own. Ostensibly, they acknow
ledged the rule of the Spanish Govern
or-General, his ministry and advisory
juntas and bowed down before it in
bumble self-abnegation; but in their
wide sleeves they snickered and sneer
ed at it.
Hated,despised,but wholly envied by
the natives, the Chinese have never
sought to pTacate their enemies, but
have aided the Spanish government in
maintaining that balance ot opposing in
terests on which the Dons relied for
the support of their own institutions.
Thus they have gone on for years, fat
tening on the great wealth of the Pliil-
lippines, giving large sums to the
Spanish rulers for concessions worth
ten times wliat they have paid, and
stripping the natives of lands, products
and labor until conditions became un
bearable even for the easy going
tribes, and the rebellions followed. The
liltimate triumph of the insurgents
would mean the annihilation of the
Chinese, for like all Malays the natives
are supine and inactive in peace,
but unlenting and tireless when bent
on revenge.
“If the United States will bold on
to Manila or take possession of the en
tire Philippine group they will confer
unbounded benefit upon the American
merchants engaged' in the Pacific trade,
and add considerable to the revenues
ot our country. Besides, the cost of .the
war could soon be repaid into our treas
ury from the tax on imports' and ex
ports imposed at Manila alone. I don’t
pretend to*discuss the vast advantages
that port offers as a coaling station and
general governmental depot in the tar
East,which is a subject for the con
sideration of statesmen,but I argue f rom
the point and experience of an old trader
with-an eye to business. There is no
calculating the wealth ot the islands.
Most ot the products brought to this coun
try are coffpe,indigo,sugar cane,tobacco
(a government monopoly), spices, pep
per, pina linen made from the pine
apple fiber, litits and cordage. But
locked up in the many mountains of
of the islands are'millions of tons of
iron, copper, coal and sulphur. As for
the timber, there is nothing to equal its
quality and quantity. The Spanish
have never been able to develop the is
lands, and the Chinese had not suf
ficient means to put their full produc
tiveness to tiie test. There is some gold
to be-found in the sands of the hun
dreds of rivers, hut the Philippines are
no: exactly a Klondike. With Amer
ican methods, improvements, and good
Yankee business sagacity, I venture to
assert that the islands could be made
to yield ten times as much as they do
at present.
“Of course, the climate is hot and
enervating. There is only one place
that can send the mercury higher, but
that is not of this world. Still a gen
erally prevailing moisture tempers the
fierce heart, and there is a constant al
ternation of land and sea breezes. It
makes me mad to bear folks say, who
are opposed to sending a large land
force to assist Commodore Dewey, that
the climate is unhealthful. It is not so
by any means. There is no place in the
tropics which is more healthful or
where the rate of mortality is lower,
and our gallent hero would not lose a
a man except by the accidents of war
and causes which obtain at home.
“Many of the islands are constantly
in vibration, owing to the earthquakes,
and the group is within range ot the
tnonsoou, which makes hurricanes com
mon, but these are disadvantages you
must expect in the Kanuka Islands.
There is rare hunting in the woods and
jungles of many of the islands. The
jungles swarm with humming birds,
parrots, and many birds ot brilliant
plumage, which opens up prospects for
a great feather trade for the Americans.
The humming birds ar» fierce little
creatures.
“I landed one time with a hunting
party on the island ot Mindoro and
penetrated a jungle in search of rare
birds. One of our men branched off
from the party and we temporarily lost
sight of him. Presently we were star
tled by cries of terror, and saw the man
beating his way toward us through the
thick,straggling swamp growth. Above
him was a fluttering crowd. As he came
within a lew’ teet of us we discoverd
that a swarm of thousands of humming
birds had attacked him and were pun
ishing him severely. His face and
neck were bleeding from a thousand
minute wounds, for they had succeeded
in piercing the veil he wore as a pro
tection against the voracious insects
with which the jungles teem. Even

“If I had my choice of place* of res
idence in the tropics,” concluded Capt
Merritt, “1 would take Manila. It is a
beautiful city, half-Spanish, halt-Ori-
ental in aspect. The suburbs are per
fect bowers of cultivated flowers and
adorned with residences of artistic de
sign. Some of the finest driveaways in
the world are there; and talk about
driving—the natives would go without
food before they would sacrifice an op
portunity to get up behind a nag!
Every evening it is a great sight in
Manila to see the turnouts on the broad
driveways. Traps of all kinds are
pressed into service, from swell carria
ges of American or European make to
domestic affairs of sublime simplicity
and primitiveness. And the variety or
the steeds used to propel them is as re
markable. There are blooded stock
from abroad for the foreigners and rich
natives and adminutive but spirited
little native horses for those who are
not so well off in this world’s goods.
Nobody with any such pretentions ro
being somebody is atoot at this time,
and even the frugal, hated Chinese feel
themselves called upon to indulge in
the luxury of a drive.”

Blood Poison.
Those who have never had Blood Poi
son can not know what a desperate con
dition it can produce. This terrible
disease which the doctors are totally
unable to cure, is communicated from
one generation to another, inflicting its
taint upon countless innocent ones.
Soma years ago 1 was inoculated with poison
by a nurse who infected my babe with blood
taint. The little one was
unequal to the struggle,
and its life wus yielded
up to the fearful poison.
For six long years 1 suf
fered untold misery. 1
was covered with senes
and ulcers from head to
foot, and no language
can express my feelings
of woe during those long
years. I had the best
medical treatment. Sev
eral physicians sueces
sively treated me. but all'
to no purpose. The mer-
cuty and jwtash seemed to add fuel to the
awful flame which was devouring me. 1 was
advised by friends who had seen wonderful
cures made by it. to try Swift’s Specific. We
got two bottles, and I felt hope again revive in
my breast—hojie for health and happiness
again. I improved from the start, and a com
plete and perfect cure wa3 the result. 8. 8. 8.
