A new political party has been born "the republican party of Port Rico." Though the party was organized by tho radicals, under tho lcuder&hlp of Manuel Uossy, it has for Its object the association of all political elements on this island, and they have agreed upon a platform which is pronounced to be faultless in its Americanism. The platform, in part, is as follows: That It Is tho highest duty of ovory citizen to unhiihl tho IntcL'ritv of tho countrv and the laws of the laud That wo pledge oursulvc?ns men, animated by a common causo. aiming at a common object, to do nil In our power for our KovornmcuL Wo pledge our faithfulness to adhero to tho now principles of our new coun try, and have for our aim harmony, unity and irood Kovernment, relyluu with contldenco upon the hope of a speedy settlement of our national ultalrs.

Southampton, April 1. Tho pas senger steamer Stella, plying between this port and tho Channel Islands, crashed upon tho dreaded Casquot rocks, near the island of Alderney, yesterday afternoon In a dense fog and foundered in ten minutes, her boilers exploding with a tremendous report as she went down. In spite of this, It Is said, there was no panic on board. The latest advices aro that about 70 persons were drowned. Tho constlng steamer Lynx picked up 10 persons and another steamer picked up a boat containing &T persons, in cluding 20 women, who escaped from the wrecked steamer. They have been landed here. The Stelln, which belonged to tho London Sc Southwestern Hallway com pany, left Southampton at noon yes terday, conveying the llrst excursion of the season to tho Channel Islands. There woro about 185 passengers on board and tho crew numbered 5J5 men. The weather was foggy, but all went well until the afternoon, when tho fog became most dense. At four o'clock tho Casquet rocks suddenly loomed up through the fog nnd tho steamer almost immediately afterward struck amidshlp. The captain, seeing that tho steamer was fastHlnklng, ordered the lifeboats to bo launched. Ills in structions wcro carried out with the utmost celerity, and tho women and children were embarked in the boats. Then tho captain ordorod tlio men to look after themselves. A survivor states that he and 25 others put ofF from the Stella In a small boat. Tho sea was calm, but there was a big swirl around tho rocks. When this boat was a short distance away from tho wreck tho boilers of the Stella burst with a tcrrldc explosion and the vessel dis appeared stern foremost in tho sea. The last thing tho survivors saw was the dgure of the captain of the Stella standing calmly on tho bridge and giving his last instructions. The cap tain perished with his vcssol.

All on board were saved, but the valuable collection of speci mens gathered by tho purty was lost NATIVES WILL BE HIRED. ir Filipinos Keep Up ii (limrrlllu Warfnrn tho War Department Will Kmploy New Flcliterd. Washington, April 1. It is said at the war department that Gen. Otis will not make a campaign during the rainy season, nor is it believed that ho will at present chase tho Filipinos into the mountain fastnesses of Luzon. The ofiicials consider it evident tliut the light that was In Aguinaldo has been whipped out of him and it is be lieved ho cannot hold the Filipino annv together much longer. If Gen. Otis advises it, the war department will approve a cessation of hostilities or further forward movement, when little can bo nccomplisliett save chasing the Filipinos without definite results. A short rest will determine whether the Filipinos intend to keep up a guerrilla war fare, and W so a plan is already matur ing to meet any such condition. Na tives will bo employed to light the guerrillas, and as the government can give them better pay and afford them greater protection than Aguinaldo, there is no doubt about tho ability to employ natives in this way. If there must be a guerrilla fight during tho rainy season, which will soon be upon the i'hilippincs, tho United States will not sacrifice its troops in such war fare, If natives can bo obtained.

What the New Discovery in Medical Science Has Accomplished. The Prompt Way to Cure Yourself When Symptoms Show That Blood is Out Of Order. THE EMINENT SPECIALIST'S FREE OFFER TO ALL READERS OF THIS PAPER. For a great many years it hns been the custom for sick people to say: ".My blood Is out of order. Ii needs purify ing. I feel all used up. My skin needs clearing. My brain feels tired." They are right, butdo they net right? They generally go and get n laxative (bowel cleaner) to purify their blood. Docs their blood run through their bowels? Science has to-day furnished proofs that all the purifying that your bloodi needs, in fact, all that can be done, must be done by your kidneys. All (he blood in your body passes through your kidneys every three min utes. The kidneys strain or dlteroutthcim purities of the blood that is (heir work. Purifying your blood is not- a quesr tion of taking a laxative or physic. Does your blood run through your bowels? What the bowel-cleaner does is to throw out the poisons confined in your bowels ready for absorption into your blood, but the poisons which are already in your blood, causing your present sickness it leaves there. There is no other way of purifying your blood except by means of your kid neys. That is whj bowel-cleaners fail to do their work they fail to help the kid neys. When you are sick, then, no matter what you think the name of your dis ease is, the first thing you should do is to afford aid to your kidneys by using Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the great Kidney Remedy. In taking Swamp-Root you afTord natural help to nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect healer and. gentle An lOvlilence of Prosperity. It is generally conceded by economists, who study the commercial situation of the country, that the great arteries of railway travel are a sure indication of its condition. A depression in commercial lines means abandoned business trips and the cancella tion of pleasure travel, while a healthy con dition of affairs means business trips and an increase of passengers on pleasure bent. A good evidence that a business revival has gone broadcast over this country is" the "Lake Shore Limited," the star tram of the Vanderbilt system, between New York and Chicago, which is daily comfortably filled. "With a view to taking the best possible care of its patrons, the New York Central has arranged to increase the equipment of this train by placing an additional standard sleeper on the trains leaving New York nnd Chicago Tuesdays, Thursdays nnd Satur days. To the regular traveler the appoint ments nnd comforts of this train are well known, but if you have never made a trip on it, you owe it to yourself to see and en joy the advance made in comfort and lux ury in modern railway travel. Remember the fare is no higher on this train, except between New York nnd Chicago, while the accommodations and service place tins par ticular train conspicuously; at the head of the list, when compared with other lines.
