Before using CUTICURA SOAP, my face and
hands were just as rough as could be and my,
face was all covered with pimples. I was un.
fit to look at, but after using Cu'rrcum SOAP
three weeks, my face was equal to velvet.
Feb. 6, 1898. PAUL DUPRE, Chaler, La.
I suffered with blackheads and pimples for
two or three years until it became chronic. I
tried everything imaginable, but it did me no
cod. CUTICURA SOAP cured me.
Feb.20,’98. L. V. GILLIAM, Oak P. 0.,Va.
I was troubled for eight years with pimples
on the face. I commenced using CUTICUBA
SOAP. In a very short time the pimples all
disappeared and my skin is now in a healthy
condition. JAMES FOSTER,

Manila Fore. shadows the Result
of the War.
When Commodore Dewey Himself Is
Heard From—Europe May Now
Bring Pressure to Bear on Spain
to Give Up Cuba at Once—No For-
mal Protest Against Bombardment
of Manila.
Washington, May 3.—:One week of
war. It began with the blockade of
Havana, and the formal declaration by
Congress of a state of belligerency. It
ends with the thrilling news of. a great
naval victory in the East, a victory so
significant and decisive that it must
foreshadow the end, even to the stub-
bornand brutalized intellect of Spain.
It must be remembered, too, that the
national rejoicing to-day has its source
only in Spanish dispatches, the suspi-
cious candor of which bears evidence
of a desire to break gently to Madrid
some very unpleasant tidings. When
Commodore Dewey gets possession of
the other end of the cable at Manila, or
when his dispatch boat gets. back to
Hong Kong, we may expect to hear
news which will cause every American
heart to swell with pride in our navy,
and in the skill and valor of the men
behind the guns. It is most significant
that while the Spanish report grudg-
lngly confess “serious but honorable
losses of life,” and while Dewey’s
a continuous act of “retiring,” there is
no mention of any loss of American
lives. We must be prepared, howet‘ér,
for a. kind of dispatch so far new to
this war. the inevitable list of dead and
wounded, but no one expected a blood-
less or tearless struggle.
The Cost “'us Counted,
'We entered upon the war to make
Cuba free, soberly, reluctantly, count-
ing all the cost. Our President ex-
and diplomacy to avert it. But ,it had
to come. The end Of Spain’s infamous
barbarities and muxdars on the West-
ern continent had been decreed in the
providence of God, and to the nation
in whose ears Cuba’s cries for rescue
and freedom have been sounding for
two generations was given the solemn
duty of clearing the continent of the
Spanish plague. Now, no matter what
loss, the price must be paid. We can-
not turn back until Spain is humbled
to the dust and Cuba is free.
One possible outcome of the disper-
sion of Spain’s Philippine fleet may be
a pressure brought to bear on Spain by
the European powers to recognize the
futility of a further struggle, and to
peaceably give up Cuba. That has
been the substance of our demand. To
those who desired vengeance, as well
as free Cuba, it will probably appear
that the Maine is already amply
avenged in the China Sea. It will be
interesting to note the tone Of the pop-
ular sentiment in Spain to-day, wheth-
er it be for submission or for a con-
test to the bitter end.- For either con-
tingency the Administration is well
prepared.
No Foreign Protest.
There is a. weariness which ap-
proaches disgust at the State Depart-
ment over the repeated reports of for—
eign interference in our conduct of the
war with Spain, the latest being that
Germany had filed a formal protest
against the bombardment of Manila.
It is stated by the highest officials in
the department that no formal repre-
sentations have been made since the
call of the ministers on President Mc-
Kinley before he sent his message to
Congress.
The reason probably is that the pow-
ers realize that it is none of their busi-
ness. This is our fight now, and it will
interference by principalities or pow-
ers. This is understood at foreign
courts as well as at Washington.
NIEN FOR PHILIPPINES?
Army Officer Says Volunteers "Vest
of Missouri River \Vill Go There.
Denver, COL, May 3,—According to
Col. W. J. Volkmark, Adjutant General
of the Department of the Colorado, the
volunteers raised in the States west of
the Missouri River will probably be
sent across the Pacific Ocean to hold
the Philippine Islands.
“It will be necessary to hold the isl-
ands,” said Col. Volkmark, “while the
war is being prosecuted in other direc-
tions, and what would be more natural
than for the troops recruited in the
West to be placed aboard transports in
- the harbor of San Francisco and sent
to occupy the important posts in the
Philippine Islands?
“The Government may dicker with
Japan as to the future ownership of
the islands, but in the meantime the
territory must be securely held. This
victory is far reaching in its character,
but does not mean that the war will at
once come to a close. That does not
follow by any means, although the loss
of the Philippines will be a death blow
from which Spain cannot recover."
Beer Tux \Vill Be Levied.
Washington, May 3.—It looks as
though there is no possibility of ward-
ing off the additional tax of $1 per bar-
rel on beer. The war tax is now be-
fore the Senate Finance Committee and
it will be considered tO-day and report-
ed to—morrow. Representatives of the
brewing interests are in Washington
to-day making :1 "":='l appeal to have
the beer amendmv eliminated. There
_is little if any ci.::.r.-e, however, of this
being done. The fact that $37,000,000
annually is expected to acc1ue from a
tax on beer is having great weight
with Congiess.
1 Congress to Thank Dewey.
3 Washington, May 3.—Representative
'Livingston, of Georgia, has introduced
