Qentlemen suffered with pain in my right side for over eight years
Doctors said my liver was affected My complexion was dark and yellow I
had a bad taste in my mouth and was tired all the time I took a great deal
of medicine but nothing seemed to do me any good J read in the paper of
Peruna and decided to give it a trial I felt better before the first bottle was
gone and after taking three bottles I was cured and I have enjoyed perfect
health since LENA HILTON
Miss Leua Hilton is President of the Wednesday Whist Club of Los Angeles
AS a spring medicine Peruna is a
never failing remedy It cleanses
the blood through digestiou and
fivos tone to the whole system by increas
ug the nutritive valm of the food
Spring fever as it is sometimes called
which produces a tired out sleepy feel
ing and inability to do much mental or
physical work is the result of a sluggish
digestion
Tho groat popularity that Peruna has
is due to tho fact that in all such cases
it nt once corrects digestive derange
ments and enriches the blood by purifying
tins very important source of that vital
fluid
Mrs T E Finn 82 East High Street
Buffalo ft Y writes
A few years ago I had to give up
social lifo eutirely as my health was
completely broken down The doctor
advised a complete change and rest for
a year As this was out of the question
for a time I began to look around for
other means of restoring my health
I had often heard of Peruna as an ex
cellent tonic so I bought a bottle to see
what it would do for me and it certainly
took hold of my system and rejuvenated
it and in less than two months I was in
perfect health and now when 1 feel worn
out or tired a dose or two of Peruna is all
that I need v

HE COMPLETES DATA ON
MANILA MASSACRE
THE
AUTHENTICITY OF THE ORDER
Submits a Statement by Aguinaldo
Testifying to the Genuineness of
General Lunas Signature to the Fa
tal Decree
WASHNGTON April 5 A little
over a year ago the senate adopted a
resolution calling on the secretary of
war for information tending to show
the authenticity and genuineness of
the order for the massacre of the
residents of Manila on February 15
1899 The secretary of war has just
made response to the resolution all
of the time since the adoption of the
resolution being required to complete
the search for the necessary papers
here and in the islands
The secretary transmits in answer
to the resolution a photographic re
production of the alleged massacre or
der bearing date of February 7 1S99
and with this photograph are a num
ber of papers intended to demonstrate
that it is an absolute copy of an orig
inal that actually existed and was
issued by the late General Luna Con
firmatory evidence on this point it is
stated is a statement by Aguinaldo
affirming the genuineness of Lunas
signature to the order
The secretarys report states that
Luna was then director or assistant
secretary of war of the Malolos gov
ernment and commanding general of
the Philippine army operating in the
northern boundaries of the city of
Manito Soundico who was a colonel
of militia and who army officers in
1899 generally believed to have bpen
the author of this order was a mem
ber of General Lunas staff and prob
ably the medium through which the
order was givpn by Luna to the chiefs
of militia stationed in Manila
The secretary says that additional
evidence as to the authenticity of the
order in question is the fact as set
forth in the accompanying papers
that this Luna order was discovered
in the personal effects of Lieutenant
Colonel Jose Leyba an intimate friend
of General Luna member of his staff
and one of the most active officers
who cook part in the defense of the
Philippine possessions from Caloocan
on the outskirts of Manila to Tarlac
Finally it is stated that on February
20 1899 a little over two weeks after
the date of the order a daring at
tack was made by the insurrectos on
the American forces in Manila

AS TO IRRIGATION
PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE SOME
WHAT MISUNDERSTOOD
SENATOR DEiTRiGH ENCOURAGED
He Believes Executive Will Sign Meas
ure Congress Passes Other West
erners In Conference Phraseology
Not to Affect Aim of Measure
WASHINGTON April 3 Senator
Dietrich who had just returned from
Nebraska bad a conference with
President Roosevelt In relation to the
irrigation measure now ponding before
congress As a result of the interview
Senator Dietricli said tho presidents
position in relation to the irrigation
bill was greatly exaggerated that he
diil not insist upon a change in tho
bill as indicated and ho said if any
measure looking to the reclamation
of lands in the west was presented
to the president he believed he would
sign it
I am in great hopes that an irriga
tion measure will be agreed upon
said Senator Dietrich Nebraska and
the west need irrigation What we
want is to bring together the varied
interests and unite upon some meas
ure that wo can all support I had
hoped that the measure passed by the
senate and now pending in the house
would be acceptable to all sections
I am still hopeful of good results
and my talk with the president today
leads me to believe that some irri
gation bill will pass congress at this
session because I feel sure the presi
dent is with us in our fight for the
right
President Roosevelt gave an hour
or more to the conference on the sub
ject of irrigation and more particular
ly to the details of the bill now pend
ing in congress providing for a plan
or national irrigation
Congressman Mondell of Wyoming
who has been one of the most active
advocates of an irrigation measure
called for the conference there be
ing with him Representatives Tongue
Newlands Terrell and Sutherland of
the irrigation committee of the house
together with George H Maxwell and
Chief of Forestry Davidson Pinchol
The conference extended over a wide
range and was interesting in that the
president outlined his position re
garding the measure that is before
congress
It was ascertained that it will not
be necessary to strike out the section
of the bill having relation to the state
and territorial control of the use and
distribution of the water It was
agreed that the phraseology of the
section should be changed but that
it should not alter the purpose of
the sretion
Another matter for modification is
that portion of the bill affecting the
withdrawal of lands from entry It is
desired that bona fide settlers shall
lished by this bill rather than throw
the lands open to speculation and this
feature will be closely looked after by
the members of the committee having
the bill in charge
Mr Mondell at the close of his con
ference with the president said
Speaker Henderson has indicated
that this bill shall be given time in
the house for discussion No date
however has been fixed We are
hopeful that an early date will be set
when we can discuss this most vital
question properly and I am convinced
that if we get this bill before the
house its justice will appeal to the
body of which I am a member
