will # WILLIE Our little girl’s humor commenced with a. . tiny sore on one nostril, but it kept on spread- ing till we thought she would never get it‘ . cured. We tried everything we could get, but it kept getting larger all the time, till both nostrils, the upper lip, apart of the lower lip, and up one side to the eye, were a solid sore. We thought there was no cure, and that she ,, would be disfigured for life. Finally we tried Co'rrcunA REMEDIES. We used CUTICURA ‘ RESOLVENT and nearly a box of CUTICUBA (ointment), and_ina short time she was en- tirely well, with no scar or trace of the humor. Mrs. WM.

' ALGER' AND SHAFTER TALK The 'War Room in the “'hlte House and General Shuftei’s Headquarters” 0011. nected v by Cable —— Forces Have Not Landed—Secretary Long Says the Bloc- kade of Cuban Parts is Maintained—— Smuggling Reports Are Exaggerated. Washington, June 23.—Thte telegraph instruments in the war room at the White House now make direct cou- neotion with General Shafter’s head— quarters 'at GuantanamoBay, Cuba, and messages can pass between “lash- ington and the commanders of the Santiago expedition in less than an hour. The cable, which belongs to a French company, is open of course to commercial business and to 'the cor- respondents of newspapers, although in all cases precedence must be gEVen to government messages. The dispatches 'thus far received have been transmitted from the impro- vised cable station on board the French repair ship pending the landing of the cable and the establishment of a per- manent shore telegraph station. Secretary Alger, shortly before noon yesterday, announced that he had re- ceived advices from General Shaffer since the brief dispatch from Com- mander McCalla on Monday night, in— forming him of the safe arrival of the whole, military expedition off Santiago. The secretary sent instructions by ca- ble to General Svhafter, directing him to p the war department closely infor ed regarding the movements of troops. In the absence of definite informa- tion on the subject it is presumed that the military forces have not landed. The attention of lthe army and navy authorities is now Centered upon the various phases of the Santiago expe— ' dittion. The consultations between Gen.- erals Shaffer and Garcxa and Admiral Sampson and their arrangements for unloading and landing the troops from the transports are being hourly re- ported to VVashing'to-n, and the plan of sending the supplemental army from Newport News to-day is being pushed with necessary haste and vigor. It is hoped by the administration that these troops under General Duffield and Gen- eral qu'rolsonwvill not be needed by General Shaffer in his work of capt- uring Santiago, but lit-is thought to be absolutely x.eccssary_ as a military . pleasure to have Lhemi on the ground .-. 'in case an unseen unduunexpscted em- ergency should arise. Little or no cones-r11 is occasioned in VVashin-gton over the reports from Eu- ropean sourcesithutthe Spanish gov-V ermnent; has appealedto or will appeal 1 . “to the powers on the ground that the Cuban blockade is ineffective. Naval officers here make light of 'the claim and no information as to the purposes ofISpain is in possession of the state department. Secretary of the Navy Long, more- over, authorizes xr.e .omcial sttement that the ports winch were mentioned in the president's proclamation as sub- ject. to blockade are tightly closed. ' “As tight as wax," the secretary says, and adds: “I am confident that no ships have been able to enter Havana, even while the iarger vessels of the navy have been at Santiago, unless, perhaps, a few small schooners may have slipped in a: night. I am sure that the harbor of Cienfuegos, as well as that of Havana, is absolutely closed. Probably at other. places along the coast some small vessels have been able to run in and out. but these are small towns, against which 8. blockade has riever been'prnclalmed. Lam cer- tain that Spain aims noground upon which to appeal to the powers against the effectiveness of our blockade.” ”- It is thought at the navy department 'jgrat the reports of the smuggling of supplies into Havana. have been exag- gerated, but steps will be taken imme- diately to put a stop to it, even should it be necessary to declare a blockade against Batabano, the town directly across the island from Havana. and north of the Isle of Pines, which town appears to be the headquarters of the Spanish smugglers. It; is not thought, however, that they have accomplished. important results. - \~‘ CHAMBERLAIN MAY RESIGN. Rumor That He “’ill Assume Leadership of a Group of Unionists. London,_June 23,—It is rumored that Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, will shortly resign from the ministry in order to assume the leadership of a large number of Un- ionists in the House of Commons who are discontented with the foreign p-ol-' icy of the government. There seems to be no doubt that Mr. Chamberlain is dissatisfied with his present: posi- tion, and if affairs in the Far East and in \Vest Afrzca take the turn he expects ibis friends believe that he will not remain in the cabinet to share the shipwreck of a policy he never ap- proved. Whatever may be the out come, the disquieting idea is undoubt- edly prevalent in Conservative circles that Mr. Chamberlain con-templates some ’sensatuonal move and the extent to which this is credited shows how little Mr. Chamberlain can count upon Tory confidence. I Colonel Brynn Stall-ins; Aim v ‘I‘ vorica, Omaha, Neb, June Eds—Colonel WCJ. Bryan has taken up his headquarters at old Fort Om'al‘a and is now. putting in his time studying army tactics. Lieu- tenant Colonel V-i-ct-or Vifquain, a vet- eran of the rebellion, is with Colonel Bryan. So far only one company of the Third Nebraska. has reported, but the regiment will be in camp inside ct ten days. - More‘ Ports B'ockavled. Kingston, Jamaica, June 23.—The schooner Union has arrived at Monte- go bay with twenty-two refugees from Trin-ldafd, Cuba. She reports that she was boarded by . 'the‘United States auxiliary: cruiser Yankee outside of the bay. and inform“ ed in Writing that-both Trinidad and Cienfuegos’are now block-aired;b ‘ ' r 5 of Queen Vietoria. .. .. , Jamaica, and TROUBLE ovs'a STAMPS. Thought Impossible to Have Them 0) Sale All Over by July 1. W’ashlngiton, June 23.—Every possible effort is being made by the secretary of the navy to put into operation .on July 1 the adhesive stamp section 01 the war revenue act. It is lt-hough't im- possible,’ however, to have stamps .on sale in [all parts of the country on that date, and in con-sequence it is' expected that for several days all: least business em arrassmen-ts will be many and in so e instances serious. The law declares it shall be a mis- demeanor not to affix a stamp to any bank check, note, draft, etc., punisha- ble by a. fine not exceeding $200. The law further declares that such un- stamped instrument, document or'pa'v p-er shall not be competent evidence in any court, in fact void. It. is believed that many embarrassmenets and in fact losses cannot be avoid-ed, hence the secretary’s request for a postponement for fifteen days. Nevertheless, the force at the bureau of engraving and printing is working every .hour of the twenty-four to get out rthe stamps and efforts will be made to reduce Ito a minimum embarrassments arising out of the new law. ' About 750,000 stamps will be shipped to the Pacific coast, and other ship- ments will follow in rapid succession. The stamps will be sen-t to collectors of internal reVenue and by them dis— tributed to the deputies. National banks in each town will receive telle- graphi-c requests to handle the stamps for the benefit of the public unltil other arrangements can be jmlade for their distribution. The low rate of dis- count, 1 per cent, allowed to persons purchasing stamps in quantities of $100, it is believed will operate to make it [difficult to secure a sufficient num- ber of. local agencies to supply the public needs, but. special appeals will be made and the hope is expressed that there-will be found in every com- munity a. sufficient number of public- spirited citizens to undertake to han- dle the stamps without proper com- pensat-ion. SENATE CALLS FOR‘ FACTS. Resolution Asking Secretary Long t1 Report in Regard to Robson. 'W'anshinglton, June 23.——The Senate ‘has evidently lost patience regarding the uncertainty as to the case of Lieu- tenant Hobson. His reported con- finement in Morro Castle, Santiago, has caused much unfavorable comment. In the Senate yesterday 'Mr. Davis of-Minnesota, chairman of the com- mittee on foreign relations, asked im- mediate consideration of the following resolutions: 4' ' “That the secretary of the navy is d‘irecte-d‘t-o inform the Senate whether Lieutenant Hob-son and those who were captured with himvnave been or are confined by the Spanish authorities within the line of fire or under the fire of the United States fleet; and, if so, at what place or places theytare or have been so confined; also torinform the Senate what efforts haves-been made to effect the. exchange ofi‘such prisoners and with what- results; also. to transmit to the Senate copies of the correspondence or repox upon the sub- jects of this inquiry." _, . ' The resolution was agreed to. . Mr. Davis then offered the following resqu-ti‘on,.which was also agreed to: “That. the 'secreZ:-zr-y of the navy is directed to i'nfor'r-i the Senate whet-hex the bodies of the United States ma- rines or sailors who were recently kil- led in battle at or near Santiago de Cuba. were mutilated after death by the Spanish soldiers and to transmit 1.: the Senate copies of the official corre- spondence and reports upon the sub- jects of this inquiry.” ' 'u. ~ Hitch in Paying New York Troops. Chattanooga, Tenn, June 23.—A hitcl: has again arisen over the payment oi the New Yorkers. Vouchers had beer. issued t'o a large number of the men by companies when General Healy be- gan inspecting the my rozls and found them incorrect. "his discovery was not made until Tu. day night. All the payments of the men had to be stop- ped. General léealy believes it will be necessary to send the papers back to New York for correction, but Colonel Sackeot and others believe they can be corrected here. The pay rolls of the Eighth seem to be causing all the trouble. The names. of the officers on leaves of absence were left off altogether, which caused a big shortage. Colonel Chauncey and other officers blame the New York state au- thorities for the trouble, stating that when the play rolls were sent. some of the authorities concluded they were not correct and made them out again; And, as .a consequence, they are in a worse shape than ever. The Twelfth has already been paid and several companies in each of the, other regiments. The Founteenth and Ninth are the ones on which trouble falls heavily. If the pay rolls have to be sent. East for correction the men will have to patiently await their re- turn, unless they can secure the in- dorsement of their commanding officer. in which event a local bank will cash their vouchers free of charge and hold them until the trouble is remedied. The Fourteenth is short on tents and some of the men have to sleep two in a tent. POST OFFICE AT THE FRONT. Friends Can Now 'erte to Boys Wit! Sampson’s Fleet or Fhafter’s Army.
