EczE-MA
I suffered with Eczema. of the worst kind,
my face and neck down to my shoulders were
one inflammation, was not able to see out of
my eyes for quite a while, and was unable
to sleep for weeks, on account; of the severe
pain, which nearly drove me insane. My face
and neck were swollen and made me look
hideous. Had three doctors at different times,
and not one of them could relieve me of my
pain, swelling, and blotches. I used three
bottles of CUTICURA RESOLVENT, four boxes
CUTICURA (ointment), three cakes of CUTL
, ,cuna SOAP, and my friends and one of the
doctors are surprised, and asked, “ Who r'Ired
you?” and I tell them'quickly, “Curicum

Impossible For a Hostile Shin t9
Approach Unobserved.
HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
Over Two Thousand Observers from Bar
Harbor to. Galveston on Duty—Mos.
Complete, Comprehensive and Efficien.
System for Observing Approach of a
Hostile Fleet Ever Put Into Operation
—Reports from Stations Received Daily.
Washington, May 24.—After several
weeks of work along the entire stretch
of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, the
navy department has completed the
most Comprehensive and efficientsys-
tem for observing 1the approach of a
hostile fleet that has ever been put intc
operation. A new bureau has been cre1
ated for this purpose, known as the
Coast Signal Service, in charge of Cap-
tain Bartlett, who attends to this as
well as the naval board of information
The system 'has the services of 2,306
men stretched along the coast from
Bar Harbor, Mel, to Galveston, Tex
These are divided into thirty—four cen-
tral stations aboutsixty to one hundred
miles apart. The stations "are in turn
connected by telegraph with the coast
signal office of the navy depatment
and operators are on duty night and
day keeping the navy department it
constant telegraphic touch with the en-
of Atlantic and Gull
coasts. .
Secretary Long projected this plan :1
month ago, and $75,000 was set aside
to establish the points of observatior
along the coast. After selecting the 3!
central points from Maine to Texas
rush orders were given to build obser-
vation towers and ~t0WeI‘S for the ob-
servers. The naval militia was drawr
to man the different observation towers
and five militiamen, with the rank 0:
naval quartermasters, are now on duty
at each of these stations. The towers
are completed and also the small house:
for.‘ their living purposes. There an
233 of these militiamen new in service.
other Assistance.
The next step was to have the light-
house service made an adjunct to this
coast observation. This was done
through the co-operation of the trees:
ury department, and the lighthouse
force of 1,200 men, scattered from
Maine and Texas, is assisting 1the worl:
of observation. The life saving service
was brought into similar co-operation
so that 1,060 life savers are added to'
the observation force. The thi1ty- fou1
cemral stations, with \the numerous
lighthouses and life saving stations;
make a complete chain of observati or
points, all connected by telegraph o1
telephone with one another and with
the navy department. -
'By anangement with the telegraph
companies the reports from these ob
servers take precedence over the pri-
vate telegraphic business, so that the
navy department is enabled to get im-
mediate telegraphic notice of the ap-
proach of any hos-tile fleet or 51151110
ious ship. '
Work Thoroughly Systematized.
The work of observation has been
kept in the towers throughout the day
and night.‘ The life saving crews ir
particular are assigned to night duty
and they patrol the beach throughou‘
the night, on the outlook for approach-
ing Ships. All the central points and
the observers have been supplied with
telescopes and full. appliances for ma-
rine observation. They are also sup-
plied wilth torches, rockets and othei
paraphernalia for signaling.
The results already secured haw
shown the efficiency of the plans adop-
ted. Naval vessels passxng along th1
coast are able to signal day or high:
by torches and otherwise with the na-
val observers along the beach and them
signals are immediately telegraphed ti
the navy department here. Thus thl
naval vessel-s can be kept in constant
communication with the departmen:
without the necessity of coming intc
port. .
With the system in its present per-
fected condition the navy depai'tmen‘:
feels assured that it knows exactly tht
condition of affairs along the rentirc
stretch of Atlantic and Gulf coast
The system is simply a precautionary
one, as the department has had no rea
son to believe that Spanish ships were
menacing points along the coast.
It is further believed that Spain 11

Cabinet Decides to Send a. Second
Expedition at Once.
QUICK CONQUEST is 11111131)
The Administration Has Come to Regard
the Occupation and Retention 0‘" the
Philippine Islands As the vmu Point
_. in the CampaignWSpain’s Reported At-
tempts to Interest Other Powers in the
Islands Hostens Government’s Plans.
Washington, May 25.—After careful
deliberation the cabinet has decided to
increase the number of troops to be
sent to the Philippine Islands as soon
as transports can be secured, ,and to
accomplish this a. second expedition
will be made up afterdhe onenow pre-
paring starts.
The president and the cabinet, it is
stated on the highest authority, {have
arrived at the» conclusion that the is—
lands must be held permanently, and
recent dispatc'heflrom Admiral Dewey
in regard to the force needed tb accom-
plish 'this show that a. greater number
of soldiers will be necessary than it is
now intended to send.
It is also stated that the administra-
tion is informed on reliable authority
that the Spanish'are preparing if they
have not'already sent, reinforcements
to Manila. It is said than: the Spanish,
seeing that Cuba. is lost to them, in-
tend to make a. bitter fight for the Phil-
ippines.
There have been very material and
important developments in the war
policy of the administration within the
past two days. ”For some time there
has been a growing appreciation of the
importance of the Philippine campaign,
and it is definitely stated on good au-
thority to-day that this government has
come to regard the occupation and re-
tention of the Philippine Islands as the
vital point in the campaign.
It is said that the most active and
urgent effort of the government will be
directed from now on toward rendering
permanent the possession of the Phil:
ippines, and that the administration re-
gards this as the most impontant move
in the war.
Spain’s Contemplatcd Policy.
Information concerning the Spanish
policy, her contemplated military op-
erations, and her attempts at negotia-
tion with foreign powers, Impresses this
government with the importance of-set-
tl'ing the possession of the Philippines
as quickly as possible, and there is said
to De more anxiety felt at thisr-hour
to successfully complete that campaign
than there is to push operations in Cu—
ba.
Some of 1the strongest advisers of the
administration insist that the conquest
of Cuba can very well and wisely be
prosecuted with deliberation after the
Philippines are completely Wilthin,,our
possession. The overthrow of Spanish
pow er in the West Indies is considered
fully assured, and it is believed to be
the design of Spain to attempt negotia-
tions with foreign powers loo-king Ito a
termination of the war after a decisive
naval engagement and the conquest of
Cuba. on the basis of no farther less
to Spain than that of the island of Cu-
ba.
MISSIONARIES RESCUED.
A Force of Troops Relieves Those on
‘ the “fest Coast of Africa.
Sierra Leone, West Africa, May 25.—-
A force of troops has relieved the mis-
sionaries and others at Kwellu, whose
lives were imperilled by the uprising
of the natives, who rebelled against the
imposition of the hut tax.
The bodies of the American mission—
aries who were murdered when the in-
surgents. attacked and destroyed the
town of Rotifunk, in the early part of
the present month, have been recovered
and buried.
On May 6 the British colonial office
received the names of the American
missionaries who were massacred dur-
ing the debellion in the Sherbono dis-
trict of Sierra Leone, including those
who were reported to have been killed
at Rotifunk. They were Mr. and Mrs.
Cain and the Misses Archer, Hatfield
and Schenck. The other missionaries-
Mr. and Mrs. Burtner, Mr. and Mrs.
Hinshall and the Misses Mullen and
Ward—succeeded in making their es—
cape'to Freetown.
Miss Muller, an American missionary,
who was alone in a. mission house in
the Sherboro district when it was in-
vaded by the insurgents, was rescued
by a boat’s crew from a British wan
ship just in time to prevent her from
being massacred. The infuriated na-
tives had already surrounded 'the mis-
sion when the sailors arrived on the
scene. .
COAL STEAMER DETAINED.
‘Action of the Collector of Port at Phil-
adelphia.
Philadelphia, May 25.—Fearing that
her cargo of coal might fall into the
hands of Spanish warships. in Cuban
waters, or that the coal is intended for
a Spanish port, the'colle ztor of the port
of this city to-day detained the Ger-
man steamer Amrun, pending ipstruc-
-tions from Washington. The coal is
consigned to the Mexican Railroad to
be delivered at Vera Cruz, Mexico. In
detaining the vessel the collector
carrying out the instructions issued by
the treasury department last week, to
is
. the effect that all vessels with coal for
\VeSt Indian, Central, or South Ameri-
can points shall not be given clearance
papers until it is positively shown that
the coal is not for Spanish consumption.
Up to late this afternoon the collector
had. received no word rrom Washing-
ton.
