‘ UNABLE TO SEE
EOZEMA
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 RESOLvnN'r, four boxes
‘- CUTICUBA (ointment), three cakes of CUTI~
CUBA SOAP, and my friends and one of the
doctors are surprised, and asked, “ Who ( wred
you?” and I tell them 'quickly,’ “ CUIICURA

Washington Discusses Manner In
Which Island Shall Be Ruled.
CAPITAL CITY 18 QUIET

Have Whatever Assistance He Wants,
but Declines to Say Whether Sampsons
Fleet, Alleged to Be in the Neighbor-
hood of Havana Will Go to Santiago
-—'l‘o Be Starved Into Surrendering.
I a‘shington, May 26.—Major General
Merritt, who is to go to the Philippine
Islands as military governor, is expect—
ed "to govern them under martial law
until Congress decides what shall be
done with them. ‘
There is, little doubt that they will be
permanently held by the United States.
In View of the jealousy existing among
representatives believe that it will be
more difficult to relinquish control of
the Philippines than 'to hold‘ them.
In view of this belief some considera-
tion is already being given to the prob-
lem of devising a civil government for
the islands when the war is ended. The
extension of the territorial system of
the United States rto the Philippines is
out of the question, as it will be a great
many years before the inhabitants are
capable of any degree of ielf govern-
ment.
The proposition that leems to meet
most favor is to have the government
of the islands administered by a board
of three commissioners, to be composed
of two civilians and one officer of the
United States army, as in the District
of Columbia. When the number of
Americans in the islands increases suf—
ficiently a very limited form of popular
government might be introduced, to be
expanded in the future.
Tariff taxes are 'to be collected by
military authority and are to be turned
as the war progresses, the same sys—
tem of collecting tens to be applied
to such Spanish territory as may be
occupied, thus compelling the conquer—
ed territory to aid in defraying the ex-
penses of the war

Both Porto Rico and Cuba-Are to Be In.
' " vaded at Once.
Washington,- May 26.—It was an-'
nounced at the war department as soon
as the proclamation was made public
that an expedition ' of 20.000 troops
would be sent at once to seize and occu}
py San Juan and the Island of” Porto
Rico. Further
Sampson has been ordered to take his
fleet to San Juan and prepare the way
for the arrival of the troops. In other
words he is to destroy the fortifications
so that our army can land and Occupy
the island. ‘ .
The invasion of Cuba will likewise be
started immediately, and 100,000 men
will in all probability be the strength of
the invading army. Reports at the war
department show that there are 13,000
Spanish troops at Porto Rico. \
Oregonnto Convoy Troops.
It is announced at the navy depart-
ment that t'he Oregon will be used to,
convoy the troops to Porto Rico, and
that they will start just as soon as they
can be made ready.
Reports now in'possession of the ad—
ministration show , that 10,000 soldiers
will be sufficientto take and hold Porto
Rico, but it is reported tic—day the offi-
cials think at least twenty thousand
men will be sent there for the invasion
' and occupation.
At present there are about 182,000
men in the army, counting the regulars
and volunteers. The
men, together with the immunes, will
bring the total 'up to 250,000, or the
number which it'is thought will be re-
quired for the plans now under consid-
eration. These will be divided among
the expeditions as follows: About one
hundred thousand for the Cuban invas-
ion, at least thirty-five thousand for the
Philippines, and perhaps this will be
doubled; twenty thousand for Porto
Rico, which figure may be reduced. The
extra troops sent to the Philippines.
MATTERS BEFORE CONGRESS.
Appropriation Bill to Supply Pensions
Deficiencies Passed by the Senate.
Washington, May 26.———The , Senate
convened an‘ hour earlier'than usual
yesterday morning to resume its 'dis—
cussion of the war revenue measure.
Scarcely a dozen senators were present
when the vice president’s gavel fell.
' Mr. Hale, Republican of Maine, repor-
ted an appropriation bill to supply defi-
cionccs in pensions and for other pur-'
As reported the bill carries:
For pensions, $8,070,872; for the war de-
partment, $125,000; for the navy depart--
ment, $1,907; additional clerks in audi~

Mr. Bate-of Tennessee objected "to
the consideration of the bill in the ab-
sence of a quorum.” It required twenty
minutes to secure a quorum. After a
brief discussion of the features of the
measure, which makes pos'sible' tempo:

OREGON'SAILS AGAIN.-
Big Battleship Arrived Last Night, but
Departs This Morning,
Jupiter, Fla, May 26.-The" United
States battleship Oregon arrived here
last night and left this morning.
Washington, May 26.-——Secretary Long
has received an official dispatch am-
nouncing the arrival of the battleship
Oregon in Jupiter Inlet, Fla. Her safe
arrival in the inlet‘ was reported im-
mediately to the president.
Captain Clark in his message to the
secretary of the navy reporting his safe
arrival, says that he is in condition for
immediate active operations.
Rather reluctantly the navy depart-
‘ ment confirmed the report of the arri-
val of the -Oregon at Jupiter Inlet.
While declining to give any details of
the trip of the Oregon at this time, the
officials admit that the ship swung
clear to the eastward of both the Lesser
and Greater Antilles afiter leaving Bar-
badoes, until she arrived at a point op-
posite the Bahamas, When She turned
sharply in and made for the Florida
coast. The Oregon left Mare Island,
Cal” 13,000 miles away from Jupiter, on
March 19, so she has aVeraged 260 miles
a day for sixty-five days. ‘
THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
A Bill to Push Its Completion as Rap-
’ idly as Possible.
Washington, May 26.—Senator’Mor—
gan and the president have had a con-
ference over the Nicaraguan canal. The
senator assured the executive that he
intended 'to call up in the Senate at an
early day the bill providing for the
completion of the canal by American
capital. He also said t’hathe would
press it to a vote as soon as possible.
The president is heartily in favor of
the project and said so. The long trip
just completed by the battleship Ore—'
gun has demonstrated the necessity of
the canal, and the president assured the
senator that he would support him as
far as he was able. -
Mr. McKinley thinks this is an op—
portune time to press the measure and
believes that a majority of both houses
can be secured for it. -
New York’s Quota. About 7,500 Men.
Albany, May 26.—When the news was
received here that the president had
issued a call for 75,000 more volunteers,
Gavernor Black had left the executive
mansion for his luncheon. Attaches at
the office estimated that New York's
quota under this call would be 7,500
men. It is known that no definite plans
have been prepared by the state mili—
tary authorities as to how they will
raise this second quota of men.
Ferry Boats for Defence.
Washington, May 26.—The navy" de-
partment has purchased the ferry boat.
East Boston for. use as part of the
squadron of defence in Boston harbor.
She is the second boat of the same
kind acquired for the"purpo.se, the first
being the Governor Russell. ‘
