Dohc to Simplify the Attf ntllcutleH ta Claim ib rtni8 OSiee. IVashdpgtox, Dec. 30. Two radical changes in the proceedcre of thepcesion eface have beea made. AU claims for increase, save in extraordinary caws, hereafter will be sent direct to the raedieal division of the bureau withocfT having to be passed upon by the beard of review, as has been customary for years. This action is taken on the ground that the belt of increase cases involve only medical action and that much routine detail in going through other channels of review will be saved. Another step in the simphScanon and Quieker ad jedicatkm of claims is that hereafter there will be no necessity for cases before the board of review being passed upon by three or fosr esaanaers. Tfe has been a kmg continued practice, but Commissioner Murphy has fixed the number of examiners, who must review each claim at two. This, he thinks, wig mimsmaet errors tmi. all delays, and will be of benefit to the service. Both new rales are in the line with a decision to abolish useless detail ia "aessioa adjudication.

SPAIN IS READY TO QUIT Olney and De Lome l erminate Cuban Negotiations. TO SE STTBHTExED TO C0SGESSS.. Premier Caaoras Stales the Terms Which. Spain Will Accord to the Insurgents and Practically Asks the United. States to Propose the Conditions to Her Kebel lions S objects. Waselvgtos", Dec29. The Post says: It has ben learned from an authorita tive source that Secretary Olney and Senor Dupery de Lome, the Spanish minister, have practically terminated the negotiations of the Cuban question, which are to be submitted to congress when its convenes Jan. 5. The terms of the agreement are based on the re cent official communication from Pre mier Canovus,addressed. to the secretary of state. The premier states clearly the terms which Spain will accord to the insur gents and practically asks the United States to propose these conditions to her rebellious subjects. In return for our good offices Spain assures this govern ment she sincerely deplores the great commercial loss which we have sus tained cn account of the Cuban disturb ances. She assures us she is even now considering a reciprocity treaty which will deal mainly with Cuban products and which will be framed in such ad vantageous terms toward this govern ment that our losses, both in commerce and in the destruction of American property in Cuba will be most gener ously compensated. Premier Canovas says Spain cannot, of course, as a self respecting and re spected nation, stand before the world as having been coerced into measures by the United States. She has freely granted all she now offers, aad that in the face of a rebellion. Eut she accepts the good oSces of the United States to act as mediator and to guarantee to the insurgents amnesty and the euforec ment of the new reform htw which she is about to proclaim in Cuba. The form of government offered is, the Spanish statesman declares, the limit of independence which can be granted to a province by tny nation without absolutely severing the bonds of union with the mother country. Autonomy as enjoyed by the Canadians can never be granted in Cuba. Whst Spain is willing to grant the in surgents if they lay down their arms, and what she asks the United States to guarantee, is an act which provides for a council of administration which shall control all matters pertaining so the commerce of the ladies and all esti mates upon the general taxation and expenditures of the islands, as well as its general home government.

The association has a membership of 2,3S7. a net loss of I0i durinir the year j It certainly is disheartening to a pa ! tient to find that the treatment he is j given for a disease is mere cis as Irons j than the disease itself. Such is the case, however, with the usual treat- isenr given, ror diseases of the blood. Notwithstanding the great progress made in many branches of medicine, the doctors have failed absolutely to find a successful treatment for blood poison, and the many diseases having their origin in the blood. They give but one kind of medicine, they know but one treatment, and whether in the form of powder, pill or liquid, the doctor's prescription is always the same potash or mercury - Too much car, not be said of the harm ful and disastrous effects of these drags. The doctors are unable to rid the sys tem of the poison, and direct their efforts toward covering up the symp toms from view. There is bet one ef fect to be obtained from potash aad nercary they bottle up the poison and. dry it up in the system, bat it must be remembered that they dry up the marrow in the bones at the same time, gradually consuming the vital ity. Those disng tiring copper-colored splotches axe but indications of worse results to follow. No sooner has the system taken on the full effects of this powerful drag than that suppleness and elasticity of the joints gives way to a stillness, followed by the racking pains of rheumatism. The form gTad- LP0TASH; i nally bends, the bones ache, while de-, crepirnde and helplessness prema terely take possession of the body. Under treatment, it is but a short : sten from vig-or and health to a pair j of crutches. "With this wreck of the 1 system often comes falling of the hair 1 and eyebrows, loss of finger nails, and decay of the bones a condition most horrible. This is no overdrawn j picture, ior tne wotki to-aay is ran ox these hobbling' mercurial wrecks. Contairious Blood Poison is the most horrible of all diseases, and has been j appropriately called the curse of man- kind. " Until the discovery of S. S. S., J it was incurable. It has always baf- j fled the doctors, and it is in this dis- j ease that the evils of mercury and j potasn are most common, oecaaae these riven in such doses in an effort to counteract the poison- While they stjcceetL in bottling up the poison in the system, it slwa.vs breaks forth again, attacking" some delicate organ, frequently the mouth and throat, filling them with eating sores. S. S. S. is the only known cure ror this terrible disease. It is the same in other diseases of the blood. Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rneain atism, all axe given the same treatment by the physicians mercury and potash, and the result as above set forth is always the same. We offer a remedy purely vegetable, powerf al in its effect, yet harmless in every way. For fifty years S. S- S. has been curing blood diseases, from the most violent to the mildest case, after all other treatment failed. It is guaranteed purely vegetable, and one thousand, dollars reward is offered for proof to the contrary. It is a real blood remedy for real blood troubles, and never fails to cure Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula, Eczema, Ehen TTTtTTTT, Cancer, or any other disease of the blood- If yon have a bkxxl dis ease, take a. remedy which will not injure you. Beware of mercury ; don't do violence to your system. Don't get bottled up! Our books on blood and skin dis eases, will be mailed free to any ad dress. Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. 1 J .
