TWO REMARKABLE CASES-

improvement, and setting me almost frantic
with dreadful itching. After using three bot-

CUTICURA SALVE, I was com lately cured.

I had Eczema for seven years, and my seal
was in a bad state. Three inches of my bac
was covered with a dry scab. The itching was
so. bad I thou ht it would drive me mad. I
med all reme ies, but could not get cured. I
used five bottles of CUTICURA RBSOLVENT, five
cakes of CUTICURA SOAP, and five boxes of
CUTICURA SALVE, and I was completely cured.

Cardenas. Fortifications Being Strength;
cued—Reports of Vessels Entering the
Harbor \Vith supplies False.
Key West, Fla, June 21.———A vessel ar-
rived here from the Cuban blockade
yesterday and reported all quiet along
the line. She brought an officer of the
Cuban army and a pilot, who are car-
rying important dispatches Ito Senor
Estrada Palma of the Cuban junta
from General Alexandro Rodriguez, the
insurgent commander of Havana prov-
mce. .
The Cubans were taken on board last
Saturday from an auxiliary gunboat
which had picked them up. They give
a very interesting account of their ex-
periences. After leaving -the insurgent
camp they made their way into the
city of Havana, spent several days
there, proceeded to one of the small in»
lets in the neighborhood, stole a small
boat and rowed out -to sea in the hope
of coming across an American vessel.
They were uthree days in 'the boat before
they were picked up.
The Cubans report that there are no
supplies of rice, maize, potatoes or eggs
in Havana. Flour, they say, costs fifty
cents per pound, and the army has been
placed on half rations.
The Cubans also report that lard is
selling at Havana at 50, rice at 20, beans
at 25, and meat at 75 cents per pound,
and all are scarce, and they say that
all horses of private families, stores
and livery stables have been confiscated
by order of General Aro'las, the military
governor of Havana, for the use of the
troops. There is hardly any traffic in
the streets of Havana, and groups of
more than two persons are not allowed
to loiter on street corners. The Ferro
Carril Urbano, or Street Railway Com-
pany, whose cars are drawn by horses,
are obliged to run a car every hour in—
stead of every five minutes as here-to- .
. fore, as Ithe horses of the company have
been taken by the government.
The messengers class as false the re-
ports that vessels have succeeded in en—
tering Havana with supplies. They as-
sert that since the blockade began only
three small fishing vessels have entered
the harbor and that: no food whatever I
is received from Cienfueg-os.
The Cubans confirm the reports that
work on the defences of Havana is pro~
ceeding steadily. ’i‘wo lines of torpe~
does extend across the mouth of the
harbor, which is said to be further pro-
tected by two auto-mobile torpedoes,
one at each side, dis-:hargeable by pres—
sing a button. The only war vessel In
the harbor of Havana are small gun-
boats and the Alfonso XII. .
The Spanish vessels in Havana. har-
bor are the Conde de Venadito, Neuva.
Espana, Vincente Yanez Pinzon and Al-
fonso XII, the last named being used
as a hospital ship. No other gunboats
or converted tugs are in port.
An auxiliary gunbcat off Cardenas
has been visited bv a Cuban officer
from the shore, who reported that place
to 'be effectively besieged by the in-
surgents on land and'by the warships
in front. He made thestatemen-t that
in two weeks’ time the whole population
of Cardenas will be starving. The Cu-
ban officer has his father and wife in
Cardenas and he was concerned for
them. He described the people as liv-
ing on palm buds and on dog meat,
which -he~claimed is considered a deli-
cacy. .
The vessel which arrived here yester-
day has been patrolling a regular beat
off the Cuban coast, “Just like a. po-
liceman," going back and forth during
the day and night. Sometimes she saw
Spanish troop-s moving about, but on
the whole the blockade was unevent-
futl.
It is also reported that there are 3,-
600 armed Cubans in Havana province
pitted against 50,000 well equipped
Spaniards.
The health of the Cubans in Havana
province is excellent. Their camp is
situated at Zonca.
