HUMOR
cunso BY CUTICURA
I was suffering tortures from a diseased
scalp. I was scratching my head from morn-

over in head. I had no rest. I washed my
head With hot water and’CUTICURA SOAP, and
applied CUTICURA as a dressing. Now my
head hasn’tia pimple on it, an my hair is

scalp humors. I los‘toonsiderable of my hair
of which I had an a‘mmdance. I tried several
remedies, they failed. I tried CUTICURA SOAP,
relief immediate, itching completely gone.

Mole St. Nicholas, June 20.—The Tex-
he entered Santiago harbor Friday
night, passing Monro Castle, and in—
flicted much damage upon the fort,
Castle Zocopa, on the east shore. No
one was hurt on board the Texas.
News from Guantanamo Bay up to

Hourly Gaining—Fears Are Now Em and with the advantage on the side of
tertained That Robson and His Men
Are Not Well Treated—It is Thought
Cervera Sent His Captain to Sampson
to Find Out How the Merrimac Lay.
Washington, June 20.—0fllci‘als of the
navy department are awakening to
what they believe was a clever ruse
on Admiral Cervera’s part and their
confidences in his assurances that Lieu.-
tenant Hobson and his men are being
well cared for is weakening.
A feeling is hourly gaining ground
that the visit of Captain Ovi-deo under
a flag of truce to the flagship New
York afte ‘rthe sinking of the collier
Merrimac in the channel of Santiago
de Cuba was not made because of
Spanish admiration of American brav-
ery, but because the Spanish admiral
wanted to learn just what his chances
were for overcoming the barrier that
penned his fleet in the harbor.
With this, too, there is a feeling of
uneasiness for the brave men who were
taken prisoners anl are suffered to be
confined now in Morro Castle.
The sincerity of the assurances that
the prisoners are being kin 1y treated
is being doubted more and more. If
all these encouraging assurances be
true, if Captain Ovideo really did visit
Admiral Sampson for the sole purpose .
of telling him that Hobson and his
men were safe, then there has been a
display of Spanish gallantry that most
officials intimately acquainted with the
true inwardness of Spanish character
say is anything but characteristic.
lenty-five shells, a great majority
the Americans. Friday morning, at
9.30 o’clock, the American vessels re-
sumed the bombardment of Guanta-
namo town and in the course of one
and one-half hour-s threw into it sev-
of
which appeared to have been effective.
- Sixof these shells were 13-inch projec-
l tiles, eight 8-inch and the rest smaller.
The men in the tops could see many
of the shells strike in the very midst
of the town, while others fell among
the shipping and commercial buildings
near the water’s edge.
Smoke arose in dense cloud-s from the
places where the shells fell, and it is
believed that he damage both by im-
pact of the missiles and consequent
confiagralion is very great.
On Thursday evening the ships had
thrown four 13-inch and nine 8-inch
shells into the town. This bombard-
ment began at 4 o’clock and ended at
5. Much smoke and confusion were
discerned in Guantanamo during its
progress. Crowds of people and troops
of soldiers were seen moving about and
the vessels in port hurriedly changed
their anchorage.
Nobody was killed in any of these ac-
tions on the American ships.
Two Spanish officer-s who were cap-
tured on Wednesday in Guantanamo
Bay are reported to be on board the
Marblehead.
I The news of the work on Wednes-
day night by the Vesuvius and New
Orleans in Santiago bay, is confirmed.
The Vesuvius brew shells into the wa«
for to explode the mines, while the New

First reports of the capture of the
Merrimac’s crew said that Admiral
Cervera had communicated with the
Ameri'can'admiral and offered to ex-
change the prisoners.
Admiral Cervera. has said that the mat-
ter of an exchange was something with
which he had nothing to do. It rested
entirely with General Blanco. The

can shells.
Now that all the facts of Captain
Ovideo’s Visit are being made known
here, it is pretty certain that all of
Cervera’s actions in the Hobson affair
are being viewed with suspicion.
Admiral Sampson, when Captain Ovi-
d-eo approached with a flag of truce.
signalled his ships to form in their most
formidable array. He wanted to give
the Spanish officer an object lesson he
would not soon forget. The Spanish
captain, after his conference with the
American admiral, stood for a moment
at the rail before descending the iron
ladder of the New York, swept his
keen glances over the great American
fleet and made a show of being deeply
impressed. This is now thought to
have been a clever piece of stage play cations will be It” .
on his part.
The tug Colon, which had brought
the captain out for the interview, loi-
tered over the wreck of the Merrimac.
Another small boat, :00, that had ac-
companied the Colo-n, stood near the
wreck. While the Spanish captain
was talking with Admiral Sampson
keen Spanish eyes were making a care—
ful examnation of the barrier.
Captain Ovideo had left the Colon
to take the New York’s launch. When
he boarded his tug it was noticed to
pass the wreck on Ithe opposite side
that . which It. took when it
brought the captain out. The small
boat also passed in on the opposite side.
Whether the Spaniards have decided,
after their careful examination of the
wreck, there is no way of removing it
or will try to pass, remains to be seen.
In the meantime fears are entertained
for the safety of Robson and his gal-
lant men.
The Army Landed.
Kingston, Jamaica, June 20.—VVhen
the auxiliary cruise-r Yosemite left here
suddenly on Friday it was with the
firm conviction of the officers that the
army whose start had been so long de-
layed would finally arrive at Guantana-
mo Sunday, and i‘elteve the little band
of marines whose valor has been put to
unnecessarily hard tests.
There is every reason to believe that
the dispatch boats will Within the next
few days bring stories of more impor-
tant actions than have yet. occurred in
the war. In the meantime the younger
naval emcers have been loudly com-
plaining because the fleet commander
has permitted nothing except the
throwing of a few shells at inferior for-
tificatio-ns. Excessive Caution is mark-
ing every step. ’i‘h: escape of the Pu-
risima Concepcion from the Yosemite
is disoussed on all sides here. There
is little doubt that the neutrality laws
were violated in spirit, though not. in
the‘letter in Jamaica, one of the few
places where war proves an unmixed
benefit. Several large steamers have
t..kcn cargoes of American food for
Spanish soldiers in Cuba. The Purisi—
ma Concepcion had a Spanish officer
aboard superinteuding purchases.
A device for changing the flag, which
all Spanish vessels are anxious to do,
through a sail, with strings attached,
makes it possible for a Steamer really
Spanish to openly load provisions and
proceed to non-blockaded pox-Ls in per-
fect safety.

the difficulties to be expected in the
progress of the campaign and the needs
of transported-on and terminal facili-

correct the defects in tthe present sys-

Washington, June lid—Although many
of the ships heretofore carrying mail
to the Hawaiian island-s have been cal-
led into the government service, the
navy and war depantments have done
what they can to continue the service.
It has been ordered that all naval
vessels and transports proceeding from
San Francisco to the Philippine islands
shall carry mail to the Hawaiian is-
lands in addition to :that for the forces

General Miles. Will Be in Command oi
. the-'Porto Rico Invasion.
Washington, June 20.——Much is yet'to
be done in the way of sending supplies
and equipments Ito Fernandina. Ar-
rangements have been made with Pres-
ident Duvell of the Florida Central and
Peninsula Railroad Company to have
several side tracks constructed at Fer-
nandina. An abundance of cold stor-
age houses will be built along the
tracks at that‘place. Profiting by the
experience of the gathering of the San-
tiago expedition, the department will
take every precaution against a block
on the railway. The troops will be
taken from the train and immediately
shipped on board the transports, thus
avoiding any delay in breaking camp.
The army for Porto Rico will be 20,-_
000 strong. Major General Miles will
be in command and Major General Cop-
pinger second in command. 'In all
probabilty General Miles will return
to the United States in. the fall and
command Ithe main army of invasion
in Cuba. General Coppinger will re-
main in Porto Rico as military gov-
ernor.
The importance of capturing Porto
Rico at the present time is very ap-
parent to the administration. If by' any
possibility Camara’s fleet ‘should come
to this side of the Atlantic, the Span-
iards would naturally make Porto Ric.)
their base of Supplies.
It is not deemed necessary, however,
that the expedition leave before three
weeks, but everything is being hurried
as rapidly as possible in order hat there
will be no unnecessary delay.
The 'latst advices from Ponto Rico
say that Spanish regulars are being
concentrated in the vicinity of San
Juan. The port of Mayaguez has been
mined and the buoys have been chang-
ed. Nine-tenths of the population, ac-
cording to these advices, prefer annex-
ation to independence.

Hobart Defeated in England.
Liverpool, June 20.—I-n 'the lawn ten-
nis games at Aigburth Saturday, Clar-
ence Hobart, the American player, met
H. L. Doherty to decide the champion-
ship, with the result that Doherty beat
Hobart three sets to love.
Popular opinion favored Hobart’s-
chances, but Doherty was in the finest
form and won the two first sets, by
6-1 each. In the third set Hobart
greatly improved, and was frequently
applauded. He got out of difficulties
time after time in a. marvelous fash-
ion, but Doherty's not play was too
good and he won the $le by 8-6.
The Columbia Sails.
New York, June 2 .——There was :1
great demonstration along the East
river front early Sunday afternoon,
when the cruiser Columbia, with ev-
ery evidence of her recent collision ob—
literate-3d, sailed from the Brooklyn na-
vy yard and made her way to the man
of war anchorage off Tompkinsville,

Port Antonio, Jamaica, June 20,——
'Well authenticated reports reach here

of Cuba, opposite Havana. The sup-
plies are taken 'to the Isle of Pines, off
the south coast of Cuba, in large ships
and are carried across at night in.

No Discord After All.
Washington, June 20.——It is officially
announced that General Miles is to lead
the army of invasion at Porto Rico; d..-
spite the silly talk about friction be-
tween the president and the command-
ing general of the army. Idle gossips
have persistently endeavored to pro-
mote discord throughout the army by
the circulation of the wildest kind of
stories about the ,lealousy existing be—
tween Secretary Alger and General
Miles.

Useful Information.
It is highly dangerous to leave a gas-
burner turned low unleSs surrounded
by a globe; and even then a draught oi
wind may blow out the flame and leave
the gas escaping. '
Cupboards and storerooms should
periodically have the doors. set open for
air and light to penetrate, and the
shelves should be cleaned-or at least
brushed out once a week.
Sponges should never be used for
applying a lotion to an open wound.
To keep a quill pen soft, have it al-
ways in the ink and do not let it get
