My little six-months old girl had Eczema. «
We used all kinds of remedies, but she kept
getting worse. I used to wrap her hands up,
and to dress her, had to put her on the table.
I could not hold her, she would kick and
scre’am, and. when she could, she would tear
her face and arms almost to pieces. Four
boxes of CUTICURA (ointment), two cakes of
CUTICURA Soar, and CUTICURA Rrsom'nnr
cured her, and no traces are left.

The Subjugation of the Island Is
Likely to Take Some Fighting.
MORE TROOPS GO FORWARD
Reasons for Changing the Road—Gen
Stone at Utuado—No Fighting Expected
for Several Days—Roads and Cliffs
Mined—Departure of the Transport
Hudson ——The Manitoba Ready to Sail.
Ponce, Porto Rico, via Kingston, Au-
gust 4.——A flank movement was practi-
cally begun yesterday by the occupa—
tion of Adjuntas, eighteen miles above
here, on the road to Areclbo, the second
principal seaport on the upper coast.
The San Juan road between Juana
Diaz and Coamo is mined; the cliffs are
also filled with explosives, necessitating
the change to the Arecibo road, and
thence along the upper coast to San
Juan.
General Stone, with Company C, Sec-
ond Wisconsin, pushed forward to Utu-
ado, fifteen miles beyond Adjuntas, to-
day. No enemy was encountered.
The road from here is impracticable
Cavalry-«and
infantry are all right. Transports will
take the others to Arecibo, and there
is a good road thence to San Juan.
The inhabitants of Adjuntas and Utu-
ado are enthusiastic over the advent of
the Americans.
Ponce, Island of Porto Rico, August
4.——So far as is known, no further for-
ward movement will be made by the
American troops undl the arrival of
more transports, which are expected
hourly.
There has been no fighting up to the
present, so fares is known. The Span-
iards are expected to make their first
stand at Abonitas, thirty-five miles
from here, where two or three thousand
Spanish regulars are believed to be in-
trenched.
The present prospect is that there
will be no actual fighting for several
days.
Ponce, August 3, via Kingston, Ja-
maica—The Spaniards are reported to
be advancing, though this is not gen-
erally believed. In addition to the reg-
ular fortifications at Abonitas, on the
road to San Juan, it is reported that
the Spaniards have mined the cliffs.
preparatory .to blocking 'the road __if
obliged to retire. .
[San Martin, the Spanish commander
here, who evacuated this place with-
out orders, is a prisoner at San Juan
do Porto Rico. He will -be tried. for
cowardice and will probably be execu-
ted. .
Norfolk, Va., Aug..5.—Hair“o_f_ the
First Kcntucl-z; regiment cf volunteer
infantry, 650 in number, under. com-
mand of Lieutenant Colonel Bellman,
sailed for Porto Rico last night, their
ship, the Hudson, leaving the capes at
12.30.
The Manitoba, another transport,
took her place, and the Order Was giv-
en by Major Castlaman to the two bat-
teries of artillery, A and C, and Ithe
Governor’s and Sheridan troops of cav-
alry from Pennsylvania to break camp.
They got their equipments together in
short order, and marched down to the
Casino grounds, and later the order
was given to go aboard the Manitoba,
upon which is also part of the Six,-
teen‘th Indiana. The Pennsylvanias
number 548 men and have.354 horses.
This large number, together with the
equipments and stores, makes it very
uncomfortable on the vessel. The oth-
er transports are anxiously looked for,
but as yet none has been sighted.
General Grant and his staff will go on
theYale, which vessel will probably
be the last one to leave, but with her
great speed she should overtake the
slower vessels. The Third Igentucky
will go on the same ship as their gen-
eral. As soon as the Leona arrives the
other half of the First Kentucky,g650
men, Will embark. On the Alamo, Col-
onel Grunder, with 650 men from the
crack One Hundred and Sixtieth Indi-
ana, will embark, and on the Concho,
the transport of unsavory reputation
600 men 0 the same regiment, under
Lieutenant Colonel Geiger, will, take
passage, while Lieutenant Colonel Ric-
kard, with 470 men of the Sixteenth
Pennsylvania, will sail on the Rio
Grande. It is possible that the Hudson
and Manitoba may sail this afternoon
and Saturday should see the whole of
Grant‘s brigade‘on their way to the
seat of war. The health of the men.
with the exception of those in hospital,
is excellent, and they are flill of fight.
As one big Indiana soldier expressed
it, “We only want to get there before
this peace business overtakes us."
Watson’s loaded colliers and the Mas-
sapequa and Mahansett, the two ships
flying the British'fiag, are still an-
chored in Hampton Roads for an in-
definite pcriod, it appears now. The
Sterling. another coliier, joined the
fleet to-day. The auxiliary cruiser Yo-
semite, which fish-"ailing her coal bun-
kers steel lined, lher machinery over-
hauled and repairs made to her for-
ward five-inch guns, which expanded
at the muzzles from 'too rapid firing
at San Juan. The ugly and almost
useless ram Katahdin is here. A sur-
vey was held on her and extensive re-
pair-s ordered. The Dolphin, which sus-
tained serious injuries in a collision
with the Newark, has about completed
repairs and is ready to sail.
The Buona Ventura Sold.
New York, Aug. 5.—-The first prize
steamer captured by the Americans
during the present war, the Buena
Venture, was sold yesterday to the
highest bidder for 12,200. The sale took
place at pier 20, East river. The first
bid of $2,500 was made by Hugh King.
The figure then rose by $100 bids all the
way to $12,200, which was called out
by Lewis Luckenbach, at which price
The price is cons1d-
ered a fair one.
The Buena Ventura was captured by
the gunboat Nashville off Key-West,
on April 21. Another distinction of the
vessel is that she was the first to pass
through the Suez canal. She is ‘of 1,343
tons net and 1,763 gross; length 280 feet,
breadth 36 feet, depth 26 feet. She was
built at Sunderland, Eng-land.
S‘.‘ ATE CANAL COMMISSION.
Disapp'oval of
Money “'rongly Spent.
Albany, Aug. 5.——The report of the
commission appointed by Governor
Black last month to inquire into the
conduct of the gene*al canal improve-
mcnt work under the $9,000,000 appro-
priation, has been made public. The
report is signed by every member of
the commission, which was composed
of four Republicans and three Demo-
crats. The Republican members are
George Clinton of Buffalo. Darwin R.
James of Brooklyn, Frank Brainard of
New York and William McEchron of
Glens Falls. The Democratic mem—
bers are Smith M. Weed of Plattsburg,
A. Foster Higgins and Franklin Edson
of New York city.
This commission was appointed for
the purpose of determining how much
money would be needed to complete
the canal improvement work before any
further appropriation was made, as
' well as to ascertain what work had al-
ready been accomplished and how the
$9,000,000 had been expended. The com-
mission submitted its
governor last Saturday, and the time
intervening since then has been con—
sumed in its printing. The report em-
braces 70,000 words.
Naturally in connection with the car—
rying on of such a stupendous public
work the commission finds some things
to criticise, but does not findihat any
of the public officers having supervis-
ion of the work were dishonest.
In making its criticisms of the car-
rying on of the work and the expendi-
ture of some of the money, the com-
missmn does not place blame upon any
particular state ofiicer. The commis-
sion says that 'at least $1,000,000 was
improperly expended in different ways
and mat about $1,500,000 was expend-:0
in doing work which should have been
performed under the "ordinary repairs”
appropriation. It is estimated that it
will cost $13,651,000 to complete the ca-
nal improvements. which amount will
be reduced to below $12,000,000 if the
commission’s recommendation that the.
pneumatic lift locks at Cohoes and
Lockport be omitted from the plan of
improvement, be adopted. The report
says that State Engineer Adams’s first
estimate, furnished the constitutional
convention, that the improvement worl:
would cost only $11,573,000, was little
more than a guess not based on
sufl‘icient data. ., .
The recommendations of the commis-
sion, as contained in the report, do no:
point out or sugges: that any particu-
lar officer is responsible for the matters
criticised. ' ‘ _ .
,,.Governor Black has considered the
report carefully and in view ofthc
generalities indulged in by thc.__com-
mission, has referred thereth and the
testimony to Attorney General','_IHaii-
cock, requesting that he examine, the
same and report to, the governor wheth-
er judicial procesdings should b‘é‘jnsti-
tuted against any of the persons'ref'erf
red to in. thetestimony of the cem—
misSion’s report; and if so. the nature
of such proceedings. ' _ . .
i As special counsel to aid in the at;
torney general’s office in the examina—
tion of the report of the canal investi-
gating commission and the evidence ta-
ken ‘before the commission, Governor
Black has appointed Judge Edwin
Countryman of Albany, This is done
so that the attorney gene’ral’s office
may, through special counsel, sift the
evidence in an endeavor to fix respon—
sibility for the matters criticised by
the commission in its report, to the
end that a prosecution may be made if
It is. possible to formulate a case against
anybody. Judge Co-untryman is a pro-
minent Democratic attorney.
This is the method that must be put-
sued under the law. Governor Black
is determined that if any wrong has
been committed in the conduct of the
canal improvement work it shall be,
placed where it belongs, and that if
any official person connected with the
work, be he high or low, is guilty of
any wrongdoing, he shall be punished.

Great Public Interest in the day’s Excer-
oises at Benin.
Berlin, Aug. 5.-—Thue funeral services

and princesses, all the members of the
foreign diplomatic corps, and the chief
military and civil dignitaries. A guard
of honor was plmed in front of the
Emperor. W~illiam~ Memorial church,
where the services took place.

vices. Al-l the banks and many of the

ed, fiags, many of them black, were
hoisted at 'half mast everywhere, shop
windows were covered with crepe-and
there was a universal display of mour—
ning emblems and portraits and busts
of the dead chancellor wreathed with
flowers and draped with black cloth.

inspiring. A'handsome sum was re-

The great expectations of the good
time to be had at the moonlight lawn
party for the benefit of the Wilton Golf
club, at the residence of Mrs. Charles
Jones, on Wednesday evening, were
fully realized. The beautiful grounds
were bright with paper lanterns, and
presented a most artistic picture.
Everywhere were tasteful booths with
their fair attendants eager to dispose
of their wares. The long supper tables
were filled from five o’clock until late
in the evening and loud were the
praises ofall on the dainty repast that
was 'served. Thc'large number of fan-
cy articles were entirely sold out. The
social feature was more than realized
and the Golf club fair easily takes rank
as the society event of the summer.
The financial result was most satisfac-
tory. the receipts exceeding $200. All
of the neighboring towns were well
represented, a delegation of twenty.
five cyclisns from Georgetown being a
fair sample of the way our neighbors
came in. Those in charge of the en-
