has arrived to take supreme resolu-
tion."
General Lopez Dominguez believes
that the intervention of the powers is
imminent, “because the fate of the
Philippines interests all Europe."
The bad news received here frbm the
Philippine islands has caused a deep
impression. The public is calm, but
there is a latent intensity of dissatis-
faction, which is only repressed on pa-
triotic grounds. '
The newspapers are’printing violent
articles, demanding that the responsi-
bility for 'the present situation be de-
termined. ',
Political circles express themselves
as being “satisfied that the powers will
, not permit the United States to hold
the Philippine islands.’u
MCKINLEY WANTS HAWAII.
.
He Will Urge Congi ess to Act in a Spa
clal Message.
Washington, June 10.—The president
has in contemplation, according to a
senator who was in consultation with
him yesterday, the submission, of a.
special message to the two houses of
Congress calling for immediate an-
neXationof Hawaii as a military neces-
sity.
According .to the Senator the message
will be delayed for a few days to await
the action that may be taken by Spea-
ker Reed and the committee on rules,
but it is likely to go in with as little
delay as possible.
The purport of the message is a spec-
ial plea? for favorable action, calling
attention to the strategic importance
of the islands, the great advantage that
would accrue in the present war situa-
tion through securing them and other
points in the Hawaiian policy already
well known.

SUFFERING IN MILITARY CAMPS
The Cry for Bread Comes Up from Every
Camp Where Troops Are Gathered.
Washington, June 10. —Politi'c'al pap is
being served cut to volunteers in the
field, when the requisitions call for sub-
stantial food.
This, in brief, explains, in a. measure,
why. the volunteer troops are to- day
suffering for the'neceSsaries of life at
the various encampments.
The cry for bread and supplies comes
, from Tampa, Chickamadga, Key West,
Mobile, and even Camp Alger, which is
under the shadow of the Goddess. of
Liberty looking down from the dome
of the Capitol. '
The complainings pouring in at. the
war department but emphas '35 .the
state of “rattledness” prevailing at ar-
my headquarters. There is no intention
on the part of the war department to
neglect the trops in. the field. nor is
thereanv desire on the part of the
commissary of subsistence or the quar-
termaster general to put the troops on
starvation rations. The trouble seems
to lie in the rank inexperience of the
newly appointed members of the staff
departments, and the utter physical in-
ability of the few seasoned oflicers to
perform the gigantic duties imposed
upon rthem in equi ping and supplying
a vast army of 12,000 men. The real
trouble seems to be that the army was
tardy in r alizing that war with Spain
was inevi able. While the navy was
scanning the horizon for Spanish ships
and stripping. the battleships for action,
the army was doing dress parade duty
and misreading the war indications,
which were distinctly writ-“ten on the
wall. Even when war was deemed to
be inevitable, the ruling spirits in the
army stroked their military whiskers
and said: “Oh, this is to be a naval
war, and the army will cut but little
figure in it."
Within a few weeks the whole plan
of the war hasundergone a complete
change, and the army is required to
play a very important part in the war
with Spain. The call for 200,000 volun-
teers to aid in expeditions .to Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines impos-.
ed upon [the head of the army duties
for which it was 1in prepared.
The utter inadequacyof the equip-
ment necessarv for the newly assem-
bled army was soon manifested. ’Tiie
inappropriateness of many of the places
selected for encampments and'the lack
of facilities for supplying the troops
with suitable rations has impressed it-
self upon even those who are most anx-
ious .to ovenlook the shortcomings of
the war department under existing
pressure.
Brave and patriotic sons of the nation,
are languishing in some of the. encamp-
ments at this moment for want of
.proper food and a decent place to rest
their weary forms after going through
the exacting duties of camp life. The
complaints of the soldiers have been
heard beyond thé‘war department and
vigorous methods will’ be resorted to if
necessary to locate the responsibility
and remedy the existing evil.
North-Carolina Cotton Crop.
Rale1gh, N. 0., June 10.—The crop re-
port of the state agricultural depart-
ment, issued to— day, says, that the cool'
nights of Ithe past two weeks have been
unfavorable for the maturing of cot-
and that wind and hail storms'
ton,
have done considerable damage to all
crops. In the eastern district cotton is
looking better and promises to grow
well, although the stand is poor, and
in the northern tier of. counties needs
chopping badly. In the'central district
cotton is not in a promising condition,
but in the western district the crops are
looking clean and healthy. Cotton is
growing only fairly well, and poor
stands are complained of in every coun-
ty. It is estimated that with the most
favorable conditions possible hereafter, .
the cotton crop will fall far short of
an average one this year. The cotton
acreage has generally been reduced, al-
so, ali over the state, more food crops '
being put in.

Upon-What It Depends and
How-it May Be Waged.
The person does not live whose pulse
is not stirred by news of war. . The man
does not exist who does not feel the
impulse to heroic deeds for which war
affords such a field. But heroic deeds
and successful \v‘ar depend, as do the
victories of commerce and the counting
house, upon that perfect health that
allows the brain to move on free from .
the countless annoyances and irrita-
tions that sap nervous vitality and de-
stroy physical force.
Irritation of the mucous membrane,
as the result of the ravages of Catarrh
and various allied mucous diseases '
which are so apt to accompany or fol-
low it, is the most fruitful source of
that constant irritation of the nerves
that has checked great careers and
broken giant intellects; that has
brought the athlete to the grave and
the ph110sopher to the madhouse, for
consumption and insanity are common
results of catarrh.
But 111 Norwalk the great enemay of
catarrh 13 at work. California Catarrh
Cure is waging successful war upon
mucous diseases. Colds are broken up,
tonsilitis is relieved, diphtheria is
checked, bronchitis and consumption
are entirely prevented, and catarrh,
the source of all the first named dis-
eases, is cured; and California Catarrh
Cure keeps on its great work, curing
and to cure. Note what it is doing
every day.
,Mr. D. C. Croft, 11 East avenue, East
Norwalk, after suffering with catarrh .
for years, tells of his relief as follows:
“I find that California Catarrh Cure
has relieved me very much. It keeps
my head and throat much clearer than
they had been f01 a long time, and the
relief' 13 wonderful. Anyone suffering
from catarrh 1n any form will surely
find it an excellent remedy. It relieves
at once, and I believe the 1"elief 15 per?
manent. ”
Hay fever 13 entirely prevented by
the use of this wonderful medicine, and
when it is used colds never “hang on,”
but disappear promptly. For all mu-
cous diseases. All dealers, 50 cents,
three times as much, one dollar.

. Two 'Audacious Collegians.
William Wetmore Story was fond of
telling the following tale of James
Russell Lowell and himself:
“James Lowell and I were very an-
gry with Webster for staying in old
Tyler’s Cabinet, and as he was to
r
speak, in Eaneuil hall on the evening
of the 30th'of September, 1842, we de-
termined to go in (from the Harvard
law school) and hoot at him, and to
show him that lie 'had incurred our
displeasure. There were 3,000 people
there, and we felt sure that they would
hoot with us, young as we were. ,But:
we reckoned without our host. ‘
“Mr. Webster, beautifully dressed,
stepped forward. His great eyes look-
ed, as I shall always think, straight at
me. i I pulled off'imy hat; James pull-
ed off his. We both became as cold
as ice and as respectful as Indian cool-
ies.‘ I saw James turn pale; he said I
was livid.
ture Ibegan that most beautiful exor-
dium, our scorn turned to deepest ad-
miration, from abject contempt to be-
lief and approbation.”-——San Francisco
