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

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.

ing them of Mr. McEInley's hearty in

timated that he was anxious to have a
conference next spring ind. have it un

a conference when once secured. All

Two more charred corpses were found '

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
