SPRING MEDICINE
Is made a yearly necessity by a yearly
certainty—the return in Jhe spring, in some
degree or other, of such troubles as pim-
ples, blotches and other eruptions, bilious-
ness, headache, loss bf appetite, and that
tired feeling.
The Perfect Spring Medicine cures all
these troubles and builds up the whole sys-
tem. It is Hood’s Sarsaparilla and Pills—
the best possible medicinal combination.
Mrs. Feiste, 1864 Oakdale street, Phila-
delphia, Pa., says: ‘‘We have all been tak-
ing Hood’s Sarsaparilla and Pills during
the spring for impure blood, that tired
feeling and loss of appetite, and have de-
rived great benefit.”

rliarilla and Pills, for no substitutes act like

UXCLE’ EFH for Diamond Bargains,
ADMIRAL FORSYTH
IS A VISITOR HERE
Dropped Into Town of Which He’s
Heard so Much.
SAYS HARBOR IS MAGNIFICENT
Old Seaman is Now Enjoying Life on
Retired List After Years
of Hard Service.
Admiral James A, Forsyth, U. S. N., re-
tired), is in the city. He is here simply on
pleasure bent. He went on the retired list
about a year ago, after 40 years of hard
and honorable service in Uncle Sam’s
navy.
“I have only two things now to dd,”
said Admiral Forsyth this morning. ‘‘One
is to remain on the retired list and the
other i® to watch the other fellows doing
me fighting.”
Admiral Forsyth has been spending the
winter in the Bahamas), where he Was'
born, though he camei to this country and
settled! in Phiiadieliphia when a lad 12
years of age. At the outbreak of the civil
war he entered the navy from the mer-
chant service and! siaw considerable serv-
ice. During the Spanish-American war he
was in charge of t'hei naval station at
Tampa, arid it is t-o his credit that Uncle
■Sam’s fighting ships were always well
supplied with the munitions of war and!
with rations against which not a single
protest was raised for the men.
Admiral Forsyth is a typical tar. Out-
spoken,- blunt, yet blunt in a, way that
^iract-s' rather than repels. Of big frame,
he is- of big mind, and! if he is not sincere
and honest in his every act and word then
appearances' go a long way in the wrong
directlorn
“I ami on my way to- New Orleans to
meet a nephew of mine,’ said the admiral.
“Thought it a good time to see Galveston
V
andi at the same time avoid a long rail
trip, so- just ran over. I will leave for
New Orleans at 5.45 this afternoion. I have
often heard the- climate here was delight-
ful. It would be a hard- job to find a diay
more pleasant than today. I have net yet
had t‘me to .look over the city—but Where
are the evidences of the storm. Nioit
many?. Well that is wonderful. I was
half inclined to the opinion that all this
talk about 'Galveston pulling herself out-
of a big hole by the boot straps was
exaggerated. I had a pretty good idea of
how much damage was wrought by the
storm and I am surprised, most pleasing-
ly, I assure you, by the good work that
has been accomplished. I -am very
anxious to see the work that is being done
on the sea wall. I heard! cons’derable
about thi-s structure in Nas-sa,u and am
anxious to see 't. Your harbor here is
magnificent -and will, I understand, be still
further improved.”
Admiral Forsyth was the last of the of-
ficers in the navy to -retire who had
worked from the bottom to- the top with-
out being groomed for the job at An-
napolis-. That he> was a, valued -officer can
best be shown by the important -com-
mands he held. H’s last command was
the battleship Indiana and prior to that
he was in command) of the crack cruiser
Columbia.. He is about 6 feet 1 inch tall
and wears the o-idi-fashioned goatee sans
mustache. He must weigh about' 225
pounds, but is musculaf' and is not given
to. stoutness in the least. This is his first
visit to Galveston. He was, however, out-
side in " bar here during the civil war.
He well remembers that visit on account
of a chilling northar that sprang up then
and chilled him through and through.
Jamies McQueen Forsyth was born in
the Bahama islandls and his appointment
t-o the navy is ci edited to Pennsylvania.
He entered the service iSept. 25, 1861, and
siaw, including service in the volunteer
navy during the civil war, 19 years and 2-
months service at sea. and 17 years and 3
months on shore, retiring Slept. 25, 1861,
with the rank of rear adtmira.I, retiring on
his own application after 40 years’ service
with the next higher grade, a privilege
permitted by law to officers -who served
in the civil war. Admiral ForsytK's pres-
ent residence is in Philadelphia.
TROLLEY CAR ACCIDENT.
Vehicle Jumped Rail at Coney Island and
Injured-Nine Persons.
New York-, N. Y., April 27.-^Whil'e- rum-
ning at full speed a trolley car on- the
New York and Queens County electric
railroad, filled with passengers, left the
rails at North Beach, L. I., last -night.
Nine persons1 were injured. The car reared
over the -curb and plunged against a tree
with ®uch force that the front of the con-
veyance was jammed! in- and every win-
dow smashed. The -car then turned upon
its sidie and! the passengers were thrown)
together so roughly that several women
fainted.
It was fully ten minutes' before all the
passenger had been taken, from the over-
turned car. Falls had meantime been sent
to several- physician^ living near the scene
o.i the accident and a squad! of policemen
was dispatched to the scene. AW the In-
jured! were attended by hospital surgeons.

ATROCITIES IN
PHILIPPINES
Gen. Miles Scores Army Officers
Heavily in His Reporti
CHARGES THEM WITH
WANTON BUTCHERY
Inoffensive Natives Tortured and
Shot and Hundreds Perished in
Choked Confinement Camps.
Washington!, D. C., April 27.—The war
department today made- public that por-
tion of the report -of Gen. Miles which re-
fers to the misbondiuct of officers and sol-
diers in the Philippines.
The statememits are made by Gen. Mites
as a result of his tour of investigation in
the Philippines last autumn and winter.
He said in going from Cala-mba t-o Batan-
gasin November last he noticed the coun-
try appeared to be devastated and the
people very much depressed. 'Stopping at
Lipa, he says, a party of 'citizens, headed
by ''the acting president, melt him and
stated that-they desired to make com-
plaint of harsh treatment of the people of
t.ha,t community, saying they had 'concen-
trated1 in towns and suffered great indig-
nities; that 15 of their people had been
tortured by what i-si known as the “water
cure,” and one man, a highly respected
citizen aged 65 years, named Vincente
Luna, while suffering from the effects of
the torture and unconscious, w-a,s dragged
from the house, which -had been set on
fire, and burned to- death. They stated
these acts were committed1 by a company
of scouts undei' the command of Lieut.
Hennessy, and their people had been
crowded into1 towns, 609 being confined in
one building. A doctor in the party said
he was ready to testify that some SOO ha,d
died from suffocation. 'Gen. Miles says he
looked at the building,' which was one
story in height, 18 or 20 feet wide and pos-
sibly 60 or 70 feet long. He asked for a
written -s-tatem-ent to be forwarded Mm at
Manila, but says he- never received it, and
adds:
“I have no reason not to believe the
statements; in fact, the instance of the
torture of the man Luna—having been
tortured and burned to death— was con-
firmed by other reports.”
Concerning the failure to receive the
statement, Gen. Miles says; “Whether
any infiueince was brought to bear to pre-
vent their statement, either- by persuasion
or coercion), I am not prepared to- say at
the present time.”
-Gen. Miles refers to other cases, saying
that on the island of Cebu it was re-
ported and published in November, 1902,.
“that two officers, a -captain -of the
Fourth infantry, U. S. V., and a lieuten-
ant of the Nineteenth infantry, committed
simiilar atrocities against the people of
that island'. It was also reported at Laos,
on the island of Luzon, that two natives
were whipped to -death. At Tacloban, in
the si-land- of Leyte, it was reported that
Ma-j. Glenn ordered Lieut. Caulfield of the-
Philippine! scouts to- take eight prisoners
out into the country and'if they did. not
guide him to the catmp of the insurgent
Quisori he wa-s not t-o- bring them back. It
is stated! that the men were taken out and
they either -did not or could not do as di-
rected. One of the men, who had a son
among the scouts, was spared', but the
others were separated into two parties
numbering three or four, respectively, and
while tied together a,11 were murdered by
being' shot or bayonetted to- death, some
being in kneeling positions at that time.
The pretense was- made that they were
killed while attempting to- escape, but so-
far as I know no- official report was ever
made bf the circumstance. These facts
h-a.ve been reported by Maj. Watts, who
investigated' the case. Besides Lieut. CaMli-
field, Civilian Scouts Ramis, Preston,
Corn and McKeen were participants.”
Gen. Mile® names numerous other in-
stances ot atrocities-.
BRINGING BODY HOME.
Sad Mission of President Ramsey of
Wabash Road Returning From
Europe.
New York, N. Y., April 37.—Joseph Ram-
sey, jr., president of the "Wabash railroad,

cently. Helen and her sister were spend-

TOMORROW’S
CITY ELECTION
Campaign Has Boen Quietest in
History of City.
WHERE POLLING PLACES ARE.
Polls Will be Open as Usual and the
Issue Will be Decided With-
out Any Fireworks.
The -city election will be' held tomorrow.
Never in history -of Galveston, according
to -old-timers, has there been such a quiet
campaign in a city election. There is a
universal lethargy existing and it would
take an earthquake to arouse one ’steenth
of the enthusiasm that was rampant in the
last election for mayor held here. At the
two meetings held Saturday night -this
lethargy was oppressive. Neither the
meeting at the opera house, in the interest
of the “Home Rule” ticket, composed of
opponents of the- present commission, nor
the meeting of the “City Club” at Clay-
ton’s hall in the interest of the commission
had more than a corporal’s guard, figur-
atively speaking, in attendance. Those who
favor retaining the present board of com-
missioners in office argue that this lack
of demonstrative enthusiasm means that
the voters are- in favor of letting good
enough alone and will go to the ballot
boxes with their votes at the right time
in a way favorable to the present adminis-
tration. The opposition, however, have it
just the other way.
The following candidates will have their
names on the official ballots at tomorrow’s
election:
For mayor: William T. Austin, A. W.
Fly.
For commissioners: I. H. Kempner, Val-
ery E. Austin, Herman C. Lange, A. P.
Norman, George Doherty. William Olden-
burg, J. A. Johnston and J. C. Trube.
The various polling- places will be as fol-
lows:
Precinct 1—1112 avenue C.
Precinct. 2—John Burke’s place, south-
east corner 14th and Postoffice.
Precinct 3—Court house.
Precinct 4—Engine house No. 1, 2308 ave-
nue Ei.

NOT -SECRETARY JOHNSTON.
Secretary Johnston of the Chamber of
Oommerce ha<s requested The Tribune to
announce that he is not the Johnston who
is a candidate for city -commissioner. This
announcement is made by Mr. J. H. John-
ston for the reason that several people
have assured him they intended- to vote
- for him. Secretary Johnston says that he
has never taken an active part in polities
and does not propose to do1 so now. But
he wishes- all' -his friends to understand
that he is not the Johnston who is- a can-
didate on the “Home Labor club.”
HARRIS WILL VOTE.
Representative to Stay Here Tomorrow to
Participate in City Election.
Representative Edward F. Harris is in
the city and will remain until tomorrow
afternoon, when he will return to Austin.
He remains over for the special purpose
of voting tomorrow.
“The house has practically nothing to do
until after the free conference is held with
the conferees appointed by the senate on
the appropriation bill,” said Mr. Harris this
morning. “On last Friday the house clean-
ed its calendar of all unfinished business
and the genaral appropriation bill is all
that remains to be disposed of. This will
hardly be reported for action before Wed-
nesday.”

THE KNOWLES. HYPNOTISTS.
Smia’l audiences greeted the Knowles,
hypnotists, -at the Grand! yesterday mati-
nee and! might. White this clever couple
have .lost none -of their cunning, hynotism
does not appear to draw as well in Gal-
veston th.s year as was the case a year
ago. Ati the same time the subjects yes-
terday were put through all' sorts of an-
tics that greatly amused those present.
Let it be said to- the credit of the Knowles
that they dio nothing in their perform-
ances that is barbarous, cruel, or repul-
sive. The dlang-ers that lurk in hynotism
have often been published .in The Tribune
and those who offer fer -subjects run a
very great risk according- to men of
science.
“SWEET CLOVER.”
The original company wilt! present at the

magnificent production of Pauline Phelps

drama, “iS-w-eet -Clover,” a,nd is headed by
Mr. Otis B. ‘Thayer, ’whose impersonation
of -character notes have stamped him- as
an artist of natural and convincing
methods, and the critics are unanimous in
declaring him to be the -legitimate suc-
cessor of the late James- A. Hearn- His
associates have been carefully selected for
their aptness to the various parts they
play and) include Miss Estelle Carter, who
is generally conceded' to- ba the greatest
of the younger emotional actresses. Other
well known people are Lew Newcomb,
Fred G. Hearn, Percy G. Lennon, Ed-

then, facing the worshippers, announced::
“Listen, ye mortal's of the earth. I am
a- mie'S'senger from Mars-, the first eves?
sent by our glorious ruler to the mean in*
habitants- of this -lowly planet.”
Everybody present looked up in amaze-

service book.
'"“Hear the message/’ he announced. “I
will read) it to you.” He started to read!
solemnly and not unpleasantly and th®
-congregation began to realize the situa-

and as he approached) the reader stopped.
He- readily complied when the sexton-
asked him if he would- not read the rest
of the message on the church- steps-, and,
bowing to- the worshippers again, h®
marched in dignified manner out of th®
church, and, after saying good bye to th®
sexton at the door, disappeared.
