RESTORED
After I was taken ill my hair commenced to
fall, and turned gray rapidly. I commenced
to use CUTICURA. The scalp became healthier
and more natural every day. Now I have a.
- crop of fine brown hair all over my head about
an inch and a half in length. My nurse is de-
lighted because the new hairs are brown. I
never had very luxuriant hair, even in my
youth: It is as thick on my head today as it
ever was, and CUTICURA did it.

Invasion of Spanish Possessions
to Take Place at OnceL
Active Measures to Be Put Into Opera-
tion Without Further Delay-Troops
Loaded 0n Transports Ready to Start——
Probable That 25,000 Men Will, Be
Shipped Before Close of Week—To
Capture Spanish Base of Supplies.
Washington, May 31.—The receipt of
positive information'with regard to the
presence of the Spanish fleet in Santia-
go harbon has brought to a. head the
preparations for an immediate invas-
ion of Spanish possessions.
General Miles left for Tampa. 'last
night. That announcement has been
made a good many times already, only
to be followed by a change of plan,
but there seems to be no question
about it this time. The troops are be-
ing loaded on transports ready to start,
accordqu to an apparently authorig-
tive statement made at the war depart-
ment yesterday morning-and Admira1_
Sampson has ships ready to convoy
them.
The first invading force is to consist
of regiments of the regular army. They
will be quickly followed by the best
equipped and most thoroughly skilled
volunteer regiments in camp in Flori-
da, probably the Seventy—first New
York and the Second Massachusetts.
It is probable that about 26,000 men
will be shipped before the close of the
week. The landing place is not known.
It is not even definitely known whether
the destination of the army is to Cuba
or Porto Rico.
Difference of Opinion.
Secretary Alger and Sécretary Long
have favored an initial movement on
Cuba, but General Miles, and it is un-
derstood the president, have preferred
the seizure of Porto Rico first. It is ar—
gued that it is of the first importance
to get hold of the Spanish base of sup-
plies, and with San Juan in the posses”-
sicn of the American forces, the ca—
pitulation of Blanco’s army 'niust fol;
low as a. matter of course.
, A much smaller army of __.i_,nvasion~
and occupation will be requircdiin Por-'
-to Rico than in Cuba, and after the
capture of the fortifications at ithé en-
' trance of San Juan harbor it will not
be difficult for 25,000 men to seize the
city. -VVlth the aid of the blockading
fleet even fewer men than these can
complete the occupation. . ' ‘ '
. By that arrangement more time
would be given in which to arm and
equip the forces which will be required
to subdue those under Blanco at Ha-
vana._ However, there is no definite
knowledge here outside the administra-
tion as to whether Cubaior Porto Rico
is to be the first point of attack. '
GEN. TRACY SEES GOV. BLACK.
They Confer About Van Wyck’s Removal
of Hamilton and Philips.
Albany, May 31.—General Benjamin
F. Tracy was in conference With Gov-
ernor Black and State Superintendent
of Insurance Payn at the Capitol yes-
terday. General Tracy came here in
the interest of the New York city Re~
publicans, to protest against Mayor
Van Wyck’s action in removing the
two. Republican police commissioners
andthe subsequent retirement of Chief
of Rolice McCullagh by the incomplete
police board. -
The conference lasted for two hours
and the whole question was discussed.
The result of the conference, if any
was reached, could not be learned, ex-
Cept that the declaration was made
that the Republican leaders do not pro-
pose to allow Tammany Hall to cheat
them out of an honest canvass of the
vote in New York city next fall if they
can by any means prevent it. General
Tracy and Superintendent Payn left
for New York city yesterday after--
noon. '
825,000 for Rebel’s Head.
Hong Kong, China, May 31.—The
Spaniards have offered $25,000 reward
for the head of Aguinaldo, the insur-
gent leader, who is actively drilling the
rebels, preparatory ‘to an attack upon
Manila.
In reply to the Spanish attempt to
win over Aguinaldo’s men the insur-
gents are said to have informed_ the
Spaniards that they are neutral and
will await events.
Aguinaldo went to Manila with Dew-
ey’s squadron and was landed to make
connections with the insurgents. He is
the most bitter enemy of Spain in the
and if he were removed
the rebellion would lose its greatest
leader.-
Col. Astor Begins Army Life.
Chickamauga Park, Chattanooga,
May 31.——Colone1 John Jacob Astor be-
gan real army life last night and slept
in a. tent for the first time since he took
the field.
The Second New York is camped
right over the neglected graves of the
dead heroes who fell in the battle of'
Chickam-auga. _,'A tent of Company I
has a. grave right in the center, and in _
another tent of the same company two
privates sleep with their heads on a
grave. '
Panama Starts ‘North.
Key West, may 31.—The
prize steamer Panama left for

New

because a higher price was expected
there. A story that she is to be turned
into a cruiser is denied, because, she is
only a nine-knot ship.

Kingston, Jamaica, May 3].—The

The Nestled-met Cdpthred Whiio Trying
to Pht Into Ssntiago Harbor.
Key West, may 3i.—Tne British'
steamer Restormet was brought in here
yesterday .under 'her own steam, by a.
prize crew. She was captured :by the
auxiliary crui‘ser St. Paul, — Captain
Slgsbee, while trying to put into San-
tiago de Cuba with a. cargo” of coal.
The steamer was bound from Cardiff
to Porto Rico. ‘ 1” ,-
As the Restormet came in the Brit-
ish flag was flying half way down her
mast. She was leaking badly. News-
paper men were notpermitted to ap-
proach within a. hundred 'yards of
her. -
The Restormet was captured-n.~um‘ler
the very guns of. Morro Castle, at
Santiago de Cuba, at 6 a. m. on May
25. She carried‘3.400 tons of best Welsh
coal from Cardiff. presumably'for Ad-
miral Cervera’s fleet.
The St. Paul had been lying off San-
tiago de Cuba for sixdays, and early
last Wednesday morning the big col-
lier wassighted, making at full speed
for Santiago harbor. The St. Paul fired
a blank shot and the Restormet came
to, four miles from the Santiago forts.
The forts did not fire on the cruiser.
A prize crew, under the command of
Lieutenant J. A. Pattson, was put on
board and dispossessed the British- of-
ficers, who made no proteSt. _
Not a. line was found among the
ship’s papers relative to the destination
or consignee of the cargo.
The Restorme’t was built at New-
castle in 1882. 'Sho has a. gross tonnage
of 2,020, is 286 feet long, has 36 feet 3
inches beam, and is 23 feet 7
deep. She is owned by the Restormet
S. S. Company, Limited (J. Cory &
Sons), of Cardiff.

Tarrytown, May 31.—Mrs. Margaret
Delaney, who keeps aboarding house
on Ninth street, near Broadway, here,
reported to the police yesterday that
she had been bound, gagged and ill
treated by a strange man; who entered
her house Sunday night. '
Mrs. -Delaney says that the man had
come to her house at 8.30 o’clock Sun-
day_night and asked for food. She gave
him asandwich. ' . < -.
“Before I could make an outcry he
put his hand over my mouth and then
forced a gag into it. He was a power-
ful fellow, and I could not move, al-
though l struggled hard to get away
from him.”
only One of Mrs. Delaney‘s boarders
was“ home at the time. He was in bed
asleep in the room adjoining the one
where the assault is' alleged— to have
occurred. , '
It was this boarder." wh-o afterwards

SPANISH LETTERS STOLEN.
Alleged to Contain the Names of Spice in
the United States. y’ '
Mentreal, May 3l.—-Lieutenant Car-
ranza, Senor du Bose and other Span-
iards here are'much‘disturbedi A let'-
ter which is said to have contained a
list of Spanish. spies in the United
States'was stolen from their house at
42 Tupper street, Saturday. 'The-entire
city detective force is looking for it,
but it is gone, and is supposed to be'
in the United States by this time.
It is’understood that Carranza has
offered $1,000 for the return of the let-
ter. The detectives are now scouring
the city, since until it is proved that
the Spaniards are guilty of plotting,
they must be protected. '
SEARCH FOR A BRUTAL NEGRO.
Knocked a Boy Senselees and Tied His
Hands and Feet. ~ y ‘
Paterson, N. J., May 31.—The police
are scouring the country in search of
Louis Peek, a negro with a bad rec-
ord, who on Saturday night brutally
attacked Uriah Sweezy, an 8~year old
boy. The boy went out to play with a
few companions Saturday : night and
strayed into an empty barn. Peck was
there and induced the little fellow to go
to the rear of the building. Then he
struck the boy a blow on the head,
knocking him senseless. He then tied
his hands and feet. The boy was al-
most dead when found. He was taken
to his father’s home.
Canadians See a Chance.
Montreal, May 31.—Ca.nadian millers
and merchants generally have beer:
paying considerable attention of late to
the trade of the West Indian islands.
more especially since the outbreak of
the war, which they expect will re—
dound to their advantage. They antici.
pate also that the preferential treat-
ment to be accorded to rthe products
of the British West Indies is likely‘ to
tend to popularize Canadian goods n
those markets. '
WAR ECHOES.
Jimrinez, the alleged spy, stants for
the North soon.
The Pedro and Guido are twelve knot
ships and will probably be. bought by
the government. _
It was said in Washington that
Itroops would be landed to co—operate
with the army at Santiago.
The cook of the gunboat Hawk, a. na-
tive of Manila, deserted three days ago
and was arrested at Key West yester—
day.
A government official yesterday said
that under present conditions, martial
law could not be proclaimed at Key
West. ‘
At Key West nearly the whole popu-
turned out to decorate the
graves of the 24 Maine heroes and ob-
serve Memorial day.
The fortifications. at Egmont and
Mullet keys are so far advanced that
danger from an attack by some stray
Spanish torpedo boat is no longer ap-
prehended. ‘
The Americans are fortifying Corre.
gidor island, at the entrance to Manila
bay and mining the channel. They
will give a warm reception to any pos- '
sible antagonist.
Nothing was heard yesterday of the
two alleged spies who escaped in an

1{ AN AFGHAN' 'NEW WOMAN.
'She Was Allowed to RemainUnmarried
and Made the Haremfa ,Messenger. ?
The new woman has penetrated even
to the harem of the Ameer of Afghan-
'.istan, where she wears male attire and’
does precisely as she pleases. The'
' Ameer picked her up, says a writer in
fiche Ladies’ Pictorial, on his return
[journey from the northern part of his
dominions a good many years ago. She
had been brought before him by an in-'
Idignant father and proposed husband
for punishment. She would not con--

. enter the married state, though she had:
then reached the age when it became'f
incumbent upon her to do so. The girl:
declared she had run wild all her life;
and did not wish to give up her free-1
’ dom and be shut up in a. harem. She:
sought the Ameer’s protection and ob-'
. ,tained it. 3
I: “All right,” he said, “since you want
.to be free you shall be, but free you:
must also remain; that is your punish-'-
ment. You wish to live like a. man;!

EXPLORER NANSEN’S CLOTHES.
He is Very Much Addicted to Gray and:
Dislikes to Wear Any Other Color. E
l. Doctor Nansen, for so great a. lion,3
impressed those who met him in this
country as being. singularly free from'
eccentricities. Yet it appears that he'
has had to struggle to overcome any
, number of youthful vagaries, and
among others a passion for wearing,
gray. ;
I Since he grew old enough to persuade
his mother to let him have a. choice in
his clothing, every garment in his.
wardrobe was of a uniform color. And
from that time until his marriage the{
young Norwegian never once deviated
from hisearly selection. Hats, shirts,’
socks, under clothing, gloves, and of
course his top Clothes, were all gray. ,-
Remonstrated- with upon the absurd-
ity of his course, he again and again?
ordered or bought black clothes, but:

courage failed, and he would go back.
