SPRINGFIELD, Mo.
Gnmmmu: I commenced taking P.
P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face was com-
pletely covered with the disease; I took
a short course of P. P. P., and it soon
disa peared. This Spring I became
' muc debilitated and again took an-
other course, and I am now in good
condition. I consider P. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a gen-
eral tonic to build up the system and
improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
cares to try P. P. P. will not be disap-
pointed' 1n its results, and I, therefore.
cheerfully recommend it.

Grammars: Last June I had a
ecrofulous sore which broke out on my
ankle. It grew rapidly, and soon ex.
tended from my ankle to my knee. I
got one bottle of your P. P. P., Lipp
man’s Great Remedy, and was agree-
ably surprised at the result. The entire
sore healed at once. I think I have
taken almost every medicine recom-
mended for scrofula and catarrh, and
your P. P. P. is the best I have ever
tried. It cannot be recommended too
highly for blood poison, etc.

Camp Juragua, June 29. via Kings-
ton, July 1.—General Wheeler’s official
report to Major General Shatter of
what has been called the fight of La
Quasina, and is now known as the baz-
tle of Siboney, is as follows:

In Camp Juragua, June 29.
To the Adjutant General of the Fifth

Army Corps:

Sir: I have the honor to report that
in obedience to the instructions of the
major general commanding, given me
in person on June 28, I proceeded to Si-
boney (Ju-ragu-acita). The enemy had
evacuated the place at daylight that
morning, taking a course towards Se-
A body of about one thousand

enemy’s rear guard, about nine of
whom were wounded.

I rode to the front and found the
enemy had halted and established
themselves at a point about three miles
from Siboney. At night the Cubans re-
turned to the vicinity of the town. At
eight o’clock that evemng the Twenty-
third, General Young-I reached Sibon-ey
with eight troops of Colonel Wood’s
regiment, A, B, D, E, F, G, K and L,
500 strong” and Troops A, B, C and K
of the First cavalry, in all 244 men,
and Troops A, B, E and I ef"'the Tenth
cavalry, in all 220 men, making the to-
tal force 904 men, which included near-
ly all of my command, which had
marched from Baiquiri, 11 miles.

With the assistance of General Cas-
tillo, a rough map of the country was
prepared and the position of the enemy
was fully explained, and I determined
to make an attack at daylight on the
24th. Colonel W'ood’s regiment was
sent by General Young, accompanied
by two of his staff officers, Lieutenants
Tyree R. Rivers and W. R. Smedburg,
Jr., to approach the enemy on the left
hand or more westerly rowad while Gen-
eral Young, myself and about fifty( ‘2)
troops of the First and Tenth cavalry.
with three l'IOtCIli‘ZlSS mountain guns,
approached the enemy on the regular
Sevilla road.

General Young and myself examined
the position of the enemy, the lines
were deployed and I directed him to
open fire with the Hotchkiss guns.
The enemy replied and the firing im-
mediatelybecame general. Col. Wood
had deployed his right, nearly reaching
the left'of the regulars.

For an hour the fight was very warm
the enemy being very lavish in expen-
diture of ammunition, most of their
firing being by volleys. Finally the
enemy gave way and retreated rapidly.

_We followed them over the line, keep-

ing close upon them; but our men, be-
ing physically exhausted by both their

.exertions and the great heat, were in-
capable of maintaining the pursuit.

I cannot speak too highly of the gal?

Vlant and excellent conduct of the offi-

cers and men throughout my command
and Gen. Young deserves special com-
mendation for his cool, deliberate and
skilfull management.

I also especially noticed his acting
adju-talnt general, Lieutenant A. L.
Mills, who, under General Young’s di-
rection, was wt various parts of the
line, acting with energy and cool cour-
age.

The imperative necesslty of disem-
barking with promptitude had impelled
me 'to leave most of my staff to hasten
this important matter, and unfortu-
nately I only had with me Major W.
D. Beach and Mr. Mestro, an acting
volunteer aide, ~both of whom, during

the engagement, creditably and bravelly=

performed their duties. I am espec1a1-
1y indebted to Major Beach for his cool
judgment.

Colonel Wood’s regiment was on the
extreme left of the line and too far
distant for me to be a. personal witness
of the individual conduct of the officers
and :men, but the magnificent bravery
shown by the regiment under the lead
of Colonel Wood testifies to his courage

and skill and the ens. gy and determ-

ination of his officers, which has been
marked from the moment he reported
to me at Tampa, Fla”, and I have abun-
dant evidence of his brave and good
conduct on the field, and I recommend
him for 'the consideration of the gov—
ernment. I must rely upon .his report
to do justice to his office-rs and men,
but I desire rsonally to add that all
I ,haVe said regarding Colonel 'Wood ap-
plies equ-ally to Lieutenant Colonel
Roosevelt. ‘

I was immediately with the troops of
the First and Tenth regular cavalry,
dismounted, and I personally noticed
their brave and good conduct, which
will be specially mentioned by General
Young.

I personally noticed the good conduct
of Capt. W. H. Beck, Robert P. Wain—
wright and Jacob G. Galbraith, Major
James M. Bell, Capt. Thomas T. Knox,
and Lieut, George E. Brown. The last
three were wounded. Major Bell, as
he lay on the ground with a broken,“ leg,
said: “I only regret I can't go on with
you further.”

Capt. Knok, though severely wound-
ed, continued as long as possible to
exercise his command, and insisted to
me that he was not much hurt; and
Lieut. Bryam also made light of his
wound to me and continued upon the
line until he fainted. I recommend
these officers for the favorable consid-
eration of the government.

The engagement inspzrlbed our troops
and must have had a bad effect upon
the Spirits of the Spanish soldiers. It
also gave our army the beautiful and
well watered country in which we have

established our encampments. It has

also given us a full View of Santiago
and the surrounding country and has
enabled us to reconnoitre clom up to
the fortifications of that place.
,Very respectfully,
JOSEPH WHEELER,
Major Gen. U. S. Y? Commanding.

 

"“ 'THE RACE POSTPONED

 

The Freshman Crews Will Start at Tel

Cornell-Pennsylvamia-Columbia fresh-
man- race scheduled for yesterday will

At half past five o’clock the course»

was very rough under a. stiff south
wind. It was then said that ofiioials

going down with the setting of the sun.
and the referee’s boat, with judges and
press men ab‘oard, left for an inspec-
tion of the stake boats.

The announcement of the postpone-
ment followed shortly afterward.

The day for the freshman triangular
contest opened bright and clear, with
a light cooling breeze stirring.

The race was scheduled to take place
so late in the day that no special trains
were run. Small crow-s, however, began
coming in early on the regulars, and
the main street of the village was
crowded with conveyances for public
use, which it was expected would form
a. continuous procession to the lake lat—
er in the afternoon. Extra cars were
put on the trolley lines to the lake and
every provision made to handle the
crowds conveniently.

The race talk during the morning
continued slightly in favor of the Co-
lumbia freshmen, though many favor-
ed the Cornell youngsters because of
the traditional success that belongs to
lthacan crews. The fast time that
Ward swore both his crews had made
caused a number to bank on the Qua-
kers. With the water conditions prom-
ised before noon and the youngsters in
such good form there was every pros-
pect of excellent sport.

The facilities for witnessing the race
could not have been better. Grand
stands had been erected opposite the
finish, and the high acclivity which
crowns the neck of the lake where the
finish line is located, formed an ideal
place for spectators and commanded
a Vler', of nearly the entire course.

The following are the crew statis-
tics:

The betting at the bookmarking

booths at the lake in the afternoon
showed that sporting sentiment was
gradually working toward Cornell for
first. The bookmakers offered even
money against Cornell to win; 6 to 5
against Columbia and 2 -to 1 against
Pennsylvania.

Revolt 1n the (larolines.

Vancouver, B. 0., July 1.—Mail ad-
vices from Hong Kong say that it is
reported that the revolt against Span-
ish rule has extended ‘to the Carolin-3
islands. The Spanish have only a.
small garrison 'there, and as they are
unable to send relief, it is likely that
the rebels will soon have control.

.As General Shafter’ s headquarters at
the front is connected by telegraph with
the government station at Playa del
Este, over which kings a message may
be sent from the army of invasion to
Washington in half an hour, the Madrid
rumor does not seem to be probable,
even so far as it tells of an engage-
ment. Washington .has not heard of
it, and if there has been a fight the fact
that Madrid does not call the result an
utter repulse of the American troops
would indicate ayic‘tory for the Amer-
ican arms.

It is just possible that in the engage—
ment, if one has occurred, our tele-
graph lines may have been cut; and if
this were the case it would take sev-
eral hours for the news to be sent to the
cable station, if there were opportunity
for doing this.

Still it must be‘remembered that Gen.
Shafter has given official notice of his
intention to attack Santiago before the
arrival of reinforcements.

Siboney Beach, Gen. Shafter’ 5 Head-
quarters, Province of Santiago de Cuba,
June 30.7—Colonel Allen succeeded last
night in connecting this point by cable
with Guantanamo. This dispatch is
sent from the beach, almost immediate-
ly in front of the headquarters of Gen.
Shafl'cr. Ordinary press messages can-
not be accepted before Saturday or
Sunday next. All is quiet here this
morning.

Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay,
June 30.—Ivntercepted dispatches from
Admiral Cervera show a critical state
of affairs at Santiago. Both food and
ammunition are reported to be getting
short and ammunition soon will be ex-
hausted. For days the fleet has been
unable to draw 1a shot from the batter-
ies off the harbor entrance, even though
going close in shore.

The cruiser New Orleans has started
for Key West.

The French cable, out some time ago
near Guantanamo by the United States
auxiliary cruiser St. Louis, has been
repaired by the cable bo'at Adria. To-
day a connection was established be-
tween General Slhafter’s headquarters
at Baiquiri and Guantanamo, the line
being used for government business so
far.

GEN.SHAFTER’S PLAN.

 

Not to Await Reinforcements—Confident
of Taking Santiago,
Washington, July 1.—The following
is the text of a dispatch received by
General Miles from General Shafter in
response to a telegram of congratula-
tion which General Miles sent on the

. 25th inst.:

Playa del Este. June 28, 4.34 p. m.
Major General Miles, Commanding Ar-
my, Washingtonz.

Baiquiri, Cuba, June 26.—Thanks for
congratulations. Affair was unimpor-
tant skirmish, in which Rough Riders
participated. Nine sixty-four only en-I
gaged on our side. But It was very
decisive in our favor, enemy retreating
precipiltately.
prevented their capture.
Spanish sources from Santiago say we
were beaten but persisted in fighting,
and they were obliged to fall back.
Deeply regret loss 'of so many brave
men.

Expect to take the place as soon as
I get ready to move. Reinforcements
will not reach me. Horses stood the
voyage well. “Would like horse‘s and
(probably for) Third battalion of First
cavalry and VVood’s volunteers.

Health and spirits of command ex-
cellent. Began debarkaticn of ’com-
mand Wednesday. Last of troops and
artillery landed to—day besides trans—

ferring from Ascerdores, fifty miles off,

3,000 troops of Garcia. All landed. I
have something over 4,000 Cubans.

Hope to send you favorable reports
soon. SHAFTER,‘

Major Gen. U. S. V., Commanding.

Other official dispatches from head-
quarters came to the war department.
It was in the above, however, that Gen-
eral Shafter stated his expectation to
take the city before reinforcements
reached him. The other official dis-
patches gave »the advance of Spanish
troops from Manzanilo, 8,000 strong,
and also expressed General Shafter’s
belief that he could take the city in
forty-eight hours, but with considera-
ble loss.

 

Millions of Stumps.

Washington, July 1.—the aggregate
number of adhesive stamps for which
collectors made requisition under the
new revenue act approximates 400.-
000,000. Of this number 100,000,000 were
printed and shipped before the close of
business on the 29th inst., 130,000,000
was the aggregate sent out last night,
or one-third of the supply for which
requisition was made for a. period of
three months.

Assistant Secretary Howell has issu-
ed a. circular of instructins to all col—
lectors of customs fixing the rate of
stamp tax to be required on all cus-
toms papers under the new revenue
act. All customs bonds will require a
fifty-cent stamp, all entries for con;
sumption or for warehouse, 25 cents
to $1, according to Value of invoice. All
other entries, except for transit to
Canada, entries for immediate expor-
tation by sea and entries under the
immediate transportation act, 50 cents
each.

-..__..

, Will Sail Next Week.

Washington, July 1.—A-t the navy
department it is said that every effort
is being made to hasten the prepara-
tions for the sailing of Commodore
Watson’s Eastern squadron, but it is
denied that they will be able to sail, as
rumored, on Monday.

One of the colliers is on the New?

England coast, while the Yankee, the
Dixie and the Yosemite are at sepa-
rate stations, and it will take some
days to get them to the rendezvous af-
ter coali-ng.

It is likely however that the fleet
will sail befbre, the end of next week.
