My wife was in the mostrhorrible condition
of any human being, from Eczema. She could
neither'sit down nor lie down, her torture was
so intense. I tried all the doctors that I could
reach, but she got so that I firmly believe she
would have died within twelve hours if I had
not been advised of CUTICURA REMEDIES and
qfl‘er the first application, although she had
not slept for-seven days, and with two boxes
of CUTICURA (ointment) and one cake of
CUTICURA SOAP she was absolutely cured, and
is well and hearty to-day.

MISSING -10 rrrors
Preparation for the Invasion oi
Cuba in at Wool.
NO HELP FROM INSURGENT?
Once-Started There. Will Be No Haltini
Until the Force Landed Is Stron;
Enough to Invest Havana—Massin]
the Armies of 100.000 llIen.
Washington, May 19.-It is now cer.
ltain that the invasion of Cuba. will not
depend, upon the meeting between Ad.
miral Sampson and the Spanish fleet
By next Monday 100,000 men will bi
ready to stant for the island.
Orders have been given Secretary Al-
ger to hasten the mustering in of thr
troops with all possible speed, and ti
transpont them to Ch‘ickamauga
Thomas and Washington camps, wher:
they are to be held in readiness for im-
mediate departure to Cuba. .
This was stated in these dispatcher
yesterday. Secretary Alger says Ith-ar
he hopes to see the advance made nex’
week, and that as soon as rthe forward
movement is begun there will be m
halting until rthe force landed is sufli
cient to invest Havana.
This movement, it is said, was de
cided upon when it was learned thal
the American fleets~both Sampson’r
and Sch-1ey’s——were between the Span-
iards and Key West. This [removes thi
danger of an attack’ from the enemy
and lthe war board feels that the nava
force is sufficient to guarantee contin-
ued communication with the base or
supplies.
Every report from emissaries sent tr
confer with the Cubans bears out thi
first report of the incapacity of thr
Cuban army. The latest of these re.
ports is from Lieutenant Rowan, whi
went to Garcia’s camp. His report i:
to the effect that little aid can comi
from Gomez. Lieutenant Rowan de:
‘scribes the Cuban army as a numbe:
of bands of guerirllas. He says the Uni-
ted Staetes army alone will have to con-
quer the Spanish.
Invasion Perhaps Begun.
“Washington, May 19.—Officia1 messa
ges passing between ‘Washington ant
Tampa and Key W'cst show that prep
arations for the movement of Itroopr
have almost reached the embarkartior
point. The newspaper sources of infor.
mation were shut off at Tampa this af-
'ternoon. The censorship stopped 211
special dispatches. This forms an im.
pression that the'troOps had DEEJD it
move. - _ . ; .
The invasion is at hand. The load-
ing of the transports is being rushed
but the_best information obtainablr
here is that the regulars have not ye
gone on board, and may not do so im
media-tely.
TO BUILD NEW WARSHIPS.
Bids Invited for Twelve Torpedo Boat
_ and Sixteen Destroyers.
Washington, May 19.——Secretary Lon;
has sent out a circular letter to all ship
builders inviting them to participate il ,
the bidding for the construction of chi
torpedo boat destroyers and torpedi
bolats authorized by the naval appro
priati'on bill.
Sixteen destroyers and twelve torpedr
boats are to be built. The money for
their construction has become availa
ble, and the contracts will be let a:
soon as possible, so that there will bi
no delay.
Each destroyer must have a speed 0:
twenty—eight knots and each torpedr
boat not less than twenty—six knots.
All of the former must be co'nsrtructec .
within. eighteen months and the smalle.
craft within twelve months. This is thr
first chance that American shipbuilder:
have had to build destroyers. .
PENNSYLVANIA TROOPS TO MANILA
The 10th Regiment of that State to Joli
the Philippine Expedition.
Washington, May 19.—The expedi-
tionary force for the Philippines will b.
increased by the 10th Pennsylvania reg
iment. The 10th was known as a cruel
regiment in the National Guard of thar
state, and it is expected that it wil
prove as' efficient for service as a rcgi
ment of the regular army.
This is the first action taken by thr
war department to strengthen the forcr
to be sent to the Philippines, and i.
supposed to be due to the request 0;
General Merritt for a more high]:
trained body of troops.
The orders for the Pennsylvania reg-
iment to go to San Francsco have at
ready been issued.
Proposed Exchange of Prisoners.
Washington, May 19.—The navy de
partment is completing its arrange
ments to effect an exchange of prison
ers, the purpose being to secure the re
lease of the two American newspaper
men, Thrall and Jones, now in Morn
Castle, where they were lodged after
being captured while attempting tr
make a landing on the Cuban coast
Two of the Spaniards now imprisonei
at Fort McPherson, Ga, who were cap
tured on the steamer Argonauta, on.
being the Spanish colonel, Cortijc
brother—in-law of General VVeyler, wil
be chosen for the exchange, providin:
the arrangements can be completed
The Madrid dispatch which seemed I!
indicate that the Havana auth-oritie
are disposed to regard the newspape
prisoners as spies, possibly may inter
fere with the exchange contemplated
an the arrangements for which wer~
made by the Uncas expedition.
Japan \Viil Not Protest. '
Washington May 19.—M-r. Toru Ho
shi, the Japanese minister, called 01
" Secretary Day and denied to him th.
statements that Japan would or bar
protested against the occupation of th.
Philippines by the United States.
Mr. Hoshi afterwards said for publi
cation that "the, reports to that effec
were based on nothing. more than Wih
and unwarranted rumors.
New Assistant for Alger.
Washington, May 19.—Secretary A1
ger has sent to congress a. draft of 1
bill to create in time of war a seconr
assistant secretary of war, with a sal
ary of $4,000. '
The secretary urges the importance it
this exigency of immediate action. ‘3
PRIZE MONEY FOR DEWEY’S MEN.
$200,000 Will Be Divided Among thr
Members of Fleet.
VVashingrton, May 19.-It will be good
news to the families and friends of the
men on Dewey’s fleet to know that they
have not been altogether debarred from
naval prize money, and that they are
to have something , more substantia:
than a. medal and the praise of their
countrymen for the destruction of the
Spanish fleet at Manila on May 1. The
officers of the navy department have
discovered that section 4635 of the re-
vised statutes authorizes Ithe payment
of a bounty of $100 for each man on
an enemy’s ship of war that is de-
stroyed in action. The reports frorr
Manila are that the Spanish fleet war:
doubly manned, " in the expectation oi
conquering the American fleet and re-
quiring prize crews for the captured
vessels. In this case it is likely than
there were no less than 2,000 men in thr
Spanish fleet, which would mean an ag-
gregate premium of $200,000 to be divid-
ed among American sailors. The na-
val oificers are rtaking steps to ascertair
the exact number of Spaniards on the
eleven vessels destroyed as a basis for
the payment :to be made.

THE ANGLO-AIVIERICAN ALLIANCE.
Comment' of the London Papers on It:
Advisability.
London, May 19,—The Times, com-
menting on the discussions in parliar
ment and the Hispano-American situa
tion, says: "
The United States will regard wit]:
equanimity the threat of a. general con-
flagration in Eurdpe in which Spain
would be reduced to the role of subor-
dinate actor. It is the danger of an)
consequence of thiskind, indeed, that
will make continental powers thinli
twice and thrice before interfering it
the Spanish-American quarrel.”
The Standard this morning says:
“The contrast between the speeches
of Lord Salisbury and Mr. Chamber-
lain has led to fresh rumors of cabinel
dissension; but it appears probable that
if any such differences existed they had
reference, not to the general position or
foreign «affairs, but to the situation it
West Africa and to the extent of the
concessions it was advisable to make
in order to establish a. friendly under-
standing with France.”
