Over the Responsi-
Washington, June 11.-—The general
understanding here is that General
Shafter’s force of. 27,000 men, after tak-
ing Santiago de Cuba, will be divided.
One part, probably numbering 15,000
or 17,000, will remain at Santiago to
set things in order, attend the removal
of the prisoners of war, and establish
a provisional government under the
United States flag. The remainder of
the troops, by the latter part of next
week, if all goes as well as expected,
will be ready for transportation to
Ponce, an the southern coast of Porto
Rico. The positive date of their de-
parture for that point will be determ-
ined by the readiness of General Cop-
pinger's force to start for San Juan.
The campaign in Porto Rico will
then take a double phase. At San Juan
there will be a simultaneous attack by
land and sea, the troops being landed
at an undefended point a few miles
distant, from which they can get
around to the south of the city, while
the remnant of the Shatter expedition,
marching by a good military road
about seventy-five miles long from
Ponce to San Juan, will cut the island
in two and form a junction with, the
force already investing the city.
Porto Rico is expected to fall an
easy victim to our arms. It is thought
«that the campaign there will have’ fne
effect not only of dishearteiiing Spain,
but of seasoning our own soldiers and
getting them ready for striking the
last great blow of the 'war, when the
combined movement is made against
Havana. The volunteers who have
helped to capture Santiago and Porto
Rico will be trained - down to some-
thing like the condition ,of regulars by
that time,’ and the raw men still in
camp at Chickam-auga and the Gulf
points' can be brought over and used
merely as reServes.

GEN. snArflm
Commander of Cuban Invuding Army. X
The army and navy are" decidedly at
odds: over the-question, Which is to
blame for the present stagnation in the
Cuban campaign? Sympathy here is
almost wholly with the navy, which
has thus far accomplished 'practically
all it has set out to do, and whose
work-has now come to a stand still
through lack of support by a land
force. On the other hand the army
insists that as soon as a .land force.
could be got ready it was shipped, but
that the navy was not read‘y‘to afford
the necessary escort. to protect the
transports from some much-dreaded
Spanish ships, which are, reported as
cruising about in'West Indian waters.
The navy retorts that it is ready,xand
has been ready at any time, to furnish
the necessary escort. that he embark-I
ation of soldiers was premature and
done to quiet popular. criticism, and
that the real cause of the delay, to
cover which the "phantom" Spanish
fleet was conjured up, was the army's
lack of readiness for making the act-
ual start.
The cabinet did nothing yesterday
toward settling .the vexed question of
responsibility or helping either party
to the contrOVersy .to' make its own
case good. The secretary of the navy
withdrew from the meeting at a very
early hour and drove home.

the others separated and drifted apart

No Officer Allowed to Tamper With Mail.
Washington, June 11.—Post‘master
General Emory Smith states that all
reports indicating that postoffice in~
spectors or other officials .have been
detailed or authorized to open letters
within the mails are untrue and mis-
leading. .
. The privacy of the mails at no time,
under any condition 'of circumstances,
anywhere, will be invaded during the
war.
All mail properly addressed. and up-
on which sufficient postage is paid, will
be delivered to the addresseeas expe-
ditiously and scrupulously as it has
ever been. ' ‘
W’e Should Strike in Spain.
zette yesterday published a long edi-
torial pointing out the hopelessness of
any further Spanish resistance and
suggests the Americans seek a settle-
ment of the Cuban question in Spain.
It says: ,
“There is no need of an invasion, bu“
the mere presence of a strong arma-
ment, which the Spanish navy could
not drive off, on the coast would pro-
duce a tremendous effect and there are
numerous unfortified anchorage-s where
the ships might coal."

AUSTRIAN DUNGEON DISCOVERED. '
Cells in It that’Maasured 01111th 29.:
-. Four by‘Fourfl'eot Eight. .'
Thefother day it was found necessary
to repair part of the foundations of an
inner winger ’the Gastello of Udine, a
great, square, ugly ,building of three
centuries ago, now used as barracks-
and civil prisons. On the flooring be-
ing removed, the workmen came upon a
small, massive, tight fitting trapdoor.
It was raised with difficulty, and it dis-
closed, as in romances, a flight of steps.
On going down it with lights, the work-
men found themselves in a subterra-
nean chamber. From one corner of this
ran a passage in the walls of which
were five low, narrow doorways, open~
ing into the most horrible prison cells
the heavy iron hinges which had sup-
ported the enormously thick doors, as
shown by the depth of the stone frame-
work. The pozzi of the doges’ palace
at Venice must have been abodes of de-
light in comparison.
At the end of the passage two other
cells were found, suggestive of still
more dreadful suffering; for, while the
others are of ordinary size, these only
measure two. feet four by four feet
eight—a size that made it impossible
for the unhappy wretches oonflned in
them to lie down. A Small hol-e near
the top-01'- the 'doorpost of all the cells
'was used for the passing of food.
Examination brought to lght some
inscriptions scratched on the cell walls.
One of these was “Giovanni Grimani,
1607,” showing, that they were in use
in civilized times; and more shocking
still, as it is a witness to the cruelty of
Austria, another ‘cunssted of 'the words,
“Viva l’Italia! Viva l’Italia!" and the
signature of “Giacomo Moraro."—Gold-

CURLED HAIR FOR MARKET.
Horses Are Bred Especially for This Pur-
pose in South America.
South America furnishes the greatest
amount and best quality of curled
horsehair, used for filling mattresses
andstufling furniture, saysthe New
York Tribune. On the wide pampas
many thousands of horses are bred es-
pecially for the .hair of their manes and
tales. These, between the roundjups,
which sometimes do not occur in three ‘
or four seasons, grow to great length,
but owing‘to the lack of care andthe
state of the “camp_s,"-as the open 09“!“
try is called, the hair is unusually
tangled in,-w.hat seems an inextricable
mass. ,All over the camps grow many
kinds of burrs and thistles, and the ani-
mals as they graze or roll themselves
about becOme covered with them. Their
coats are naturally rough, the hair
growing in an uneven, shaggy way.
Stuck all over with burrs and with
mane and tail matted into nearly un~
wieldy masses, the, poor creatures pre-
sent a comical appearance. After they
are shorn they seem to delight in the
freedom of cropped necks and short
tails. , . _ g _ - .
The.hair‘when cut off is freeed from
dirt‘ and roughness of .all kinds. and
wound into ropea-by which means it is
made, curly. _It_.;,sells for 38c. or 48c.

separated, and used for horsehair fur-
niture, clothes, etc.
‘ flown!” Willard Made 3 Convert... .
,A story is told .of Miss Frances E.
Willard by a friend of the deceased tem-
perance advocate which has never ap-
peared in. print, :and which. shows. that
the object of her life was, always domi- ,
nant; She was very fond cf, cycling,
and while .on one of her spins collided
with ,a ~wheelman: who .was somewhat
under thel‘innuentce. The. result was a
badlytshattered wheel of 'the drop frame
variety. The wheelman .Was not in a
conversational state, and the matter of
damages wasnot discussed on the spot,
(but he was given the woman's card,
with the request thathe call next day.
He did so, and with the plea that he
did not .have any money to" make good
the result of his inebrlety. He was ex—.
tremely penitent, and the good woman
finally proposed that he sign the pledge
in lieu of payment of damages. He did
so, and the story is made complete by
the statement that he has kept it un-
swervingly.-—Golden Days.
A Natural Mud Pie Eonndry.
Uncle Sam has a freak .artesian well
on the Bruie Indian agency that is at-
tracting widespread attention. It threw
a six-inch stream of water when it was
first opened, and for several years
thereafter, but for about eight months
it has been engaged in' making mud
pies. Since that time an endless chain
of blue clay six inches in~diameter has
been forced up through the pipe, rising ,
slowly above the casing to a height of
ten feet and then toppling over on the
ground. The eruption continues night
and day, and the amount of clay so far
forced up from the bowels of the earth
has made it necessary for the Govern-
ment to employ a man to care for the
premises. Very little .water comes up
withthe clay. A noticeable peculiarity
if [this well is that the. clay rises more
:apldly, previous to the advent of windy
weather, resuming its steady, even
grind again on the return of pleasant
weather.—-St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Tactics of Pursued Deer.
An Oxford County sportsman who is
nuch interested in the habits of wild
game said he once saw three deer
:hased by dogs in the- deep snow. It

.Upon What It Depends and
How it May Be waged.
_ The person does not live whpse pulse
is not. stirred by news of war. The man
does not exist ' who ‘does not feel the"
1mpulse to heroic deeds for which war
affords such a field. But heroic deeds
and successful war "depend, as do the
Victomes of commerce and the counting
house, upon that perfect health. that
allows the brain to move on free from
the countless annoyances and irrita-
t1ons 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 areso 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 philosopher to the madhouse, for
consumption and insanity are common
results of catarrh.
But in N orwalk the great enemay of ’
catarrh is 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 for a. long time, and the
relief is wonderful. Anyone suffering
from catarrh in any form'will surely
find it an excellent remedy. It relieves
at once, and I believe the relief is per-
manent.”
Hay fever is 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,
