‘ . V TERRIBLE BREAKING our CURED BY CUTICURA I was afflicted with a terrible breaking out. I was treated by the very best physicians, who pronounced it blood poison, but it got worse. I was suffering untold agony, and'finally had to give up work. CUTICURA REMEDIES were suggested, which I immediately procured. From the first, I experienced a soothing relief, notwithstanding my intense pain. I improved right along till at last I was entirely cured, and not a sign on my body anywhere indicating that anything had ever been the matter with me. M. B. BASTIEN, 156 W.Hunter st.,Atla.nta,Ga.

PROMOTION AND HONORS Authority Is Asked of the Senate for the Transfer of Hobson to the Line—Re- .' cognition for Newcomb and His Crew for Their Services at Cardenas; Also for Captain Hodgson Who Figured in Battle of Manila. “'ashington, June 28.—The president sent the following message to Con- gress yesterday: ' To the Congress of the United States: On the morning of the third of June, 1398, Assistant Naval Constructor Richmond P. Hobson. U. S. N., with a volunteer crew of seven men, in charge of .the partially disabled collier Merrimac, entered the fortified harbor of Santiago, Cuba, for the purpose of sinking the collier in the narrowest portion of the channel and thus inter- posing a. serious obstacle to the egress of the Spanish fleet, which had recently entered that 'harlbor. This enterprise, demandinge coolness, judgment and bravery. amounting to heroism, was carried into successful execution in the face of a. persistent fire from the hostile fleet as well as from the fortifications on shore. The president then quotes Admiral Sampson‘s message commending Hobo- son’s brave deed, and continues: The members of .the crew who were with Mr. Hobson on this memorable occasion have already been rewarded for their services by advancement, which, under the provisions of law and regulation, the secretary of the navy was authorized to make, and the nom- ination to the Senate of Naval Cadet Powell, who, in a steam launch, fol- lowed the Merrimac on 'her perilous trip for 'the purpose of rescuing her force after the sinking of that vessel, -to be sign, has been prepared and will be submitted. Cushing, with whose gallant act in blowing up the ram Ailbemarle during the civil war, Admiral Sampson com- pares Mr. Hobson’s sinking of the Mer- rimac, received the thanks of Congress upon recommendation of the president, by name, and was, in consequence, un- der the provisions of section 1,508 of the revised statutes, advanced one grade, such advancement embracing 56 num- bers. The section cited applies, how- ever, to line officers only, and Mr. Hob- son being a member of the staff of the navy, could not under its provisions be so advanced. In considering the question of suita- bly rewarding Assistant Naval Con- duct on the occasionreferred to, I have deemed it proper to address this mes- sage to you with the recommendation that he receive the thanks of Congress. and further, that he be transferred to the line'of the navy and promoted to such position therein as the president, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, may determine. Mr. Hob- son’s transfer from the construction corps to (the line is fully warranted, he having received the necessary tech- nical training as a graduate of the Naval Academy, where he stood num~ recommended, partly in deference to what is understood to be his own de- sire, alt-hough he being now a. prisoner in the hands of the enemy, no direct communication on the subject has been received from him, and partly for the reason that the abilities displayed by, him at Santiago are of such a. charac- ter as to indicate especial fitness for the duties of the line. , WILLIAM McKINLEY. Executive Mans-ion, June 27, 1898. The second message was as follows: To the Congress of the United States: On the 11th day of May, 1898, there occurred a conflict in the bay of Car- denas, Cuba, in which the naval torpe- do boat Winslow was disabled, her commander wounded and one of her officers and a part of her crew killed by the enemy’s fire. In the face of a. most gelling fire from the enemy’s guns, the revenue cutter Hudson, commanded by First Lieuten— ant Frank H. Newcomb, United States revenue cutter service, rescued the dis- abled Winslow, her wounded. comman- der and remaining crew. The commander of the Hudson kept his vessel in the very hottest fire of the action, although in constant dan- ger of going ashore on account of the shallow water, until he finally got a line made fast to the Winslow and towed that vessel out of range of the enemy’s guns, a deed of special gal- . lantry. I recommend that, in recognition of the signal act of heroism of First Lieu- tenant Frank H. Newcomb, United States revenue cutter service, above set forth, the thanks of Congress be extended to him and to his officers and men of the Hudson, and that a, gold medal of honor bepresented to Lieu- tenant Newcomb, 9. silver medal of honor to each of his officers and a bronze medal of honor to each member Cardenas. It Will be remembered that Congress, by appropriate action, recognized the several commanders of ships of war for their services it. the battle of Ma- nila, May 1, 1898. The commander of the revenue cutter Hugh McCulloch, present, and in active c-o-operation with the fleet under Commodore Dewev On that occasion (by executive order un- der, the provisions of section 2,757, re— vised statutes), is the only commander of a national ship to whom promotion or advancement was not and could not be given because he held the highest rank known to the revenue cutter ser- vice. . 1 now recommend that in recognition of the efllciént and meritorious ser- ' vices of Captain Daniel B. l-Iodgson, United States revenue cutter service, who commanded the Hugh McCulloch ,at the battle of Manila (that officer be- ing now in the 63rd year of his age and having served continuously on active duty for thirty-seven years)‘ be placed on the permanent 'waJting Orders on -- .. ’ --- .....-.‘-. he advanced in rank to the grade of en- _ structor Hobson for his valiant con- - her one in his class; and such action is. of the crew who served with him at I I retired list of the revenue cutter Heb _vice on the full duty pay of his grade. (Signed) WILLIAM McKINLEE. Executive Mains-ion, June 27, 1898. The president also sent the following special nomination .to Congress: Executive Mansion, Washington, June 27, 1898. To the Senate of the United States: I nominate Naval Cadet Joseph W. Powell to be advanced two numbers under the provisions of secrlorn 1,506 of. the revised statutes and to be an en- sign in the navy for extraordinary heroism while'in charge of the steam launch which accompanied the collier Merrimac for the purpose of rescuing her gallant forces when that vessel was under the command) of Naval Con- structor Hobson run into the mouth of the harbor of Santiago, Cuba, on the third inst, and dextrously sunk in_the channel. ' . WILLIAM, McKINLEY. It A PACIFIC COALING STATION. American Flag Waves Over llIarcus oi \Veeke, at Doorway of Manila. San Francisco, June 28.—A special from Honolulu says the United States possesses an island suitable for coal- ing, and even for a naval station, in the Pacific, nearly 2,700 miles West of Honolulu, and in the doorway of Ma- nila. - It is known as Marcus of Weeks and is more than half way to the Phil- ippines. The island belongs to Captain Fos- ter, commander of a sailing vessel ply- ing between the Orient and San Fran- cisco. He found it while out cruising and took possession. It was at that time unclaimed and unoccupied. By consent of James G. Blaine, then sec- retary of State, the American flag was hoisted over the island and still re- mains there, the same being sanctioned by Great Britain and all the powers. The island is in 24.4 north and 154.3 east. It is about five miles long and is densely covered with trees and shrubbery. It has a. white sandy beach and near the center is a knoll rising about 200 feet above the sea. It is near the tracks of vessels from Honolulu to Yozo‘nnma and has been offered to the United States for ya. coating station. _________.__._ A Third Fleet from Spain, Cadiz, June 28.-—It is announced here that the Spanish cruisers .-Vitoria and Alfonso XIII have left the arsenal and that the Caraca and Isla de Luzon are ready for their armament. It is further reported that an addi- tional force of men has been ordered to be employed in order to hasten the completion of the armored cruiser Princess. de Asturias. The auxiliary cruiser Metooro is. said to have received her new armament, and the armored cruiser Cardinal Cis- neros is announced to haVe left Fer- rol. ~ The Spanish officials express the hope that the third Spanish squadron will be ready for sea in five weeks’ time. . . The military. governor of Cadiz is mounting new guns, and is preparing additiona'1.,defen-ces between Forts RO- ta and Candelaria, owing to rumors of. a contemplated American invasion. The Austrian Riots. Vienna, June 28.—Dispatches receiv- ed’ here from Lemburg, capital of Ga- licia, say the rioting peasants pillaged Alt-Sandec for several hours on Sat- urday evening. The houses and stores in the Ring Square were plundered and destroyed, their contents being re- moved in vans, which were in. waiting, to the country. .. An organized attack was also made upo-n'Neu-Sandec, several miles from Alt-Sandec, but the cavalry dispersed the peasants after a hand to hand fight and subsequently the infantry surroun- ded the town. The peasantry, however, sacked many of the Jemsh houses in the suburbs and set fire to several buildings. Troops have been dispatched to Fr:- emysi, fifty-one miles west of Lemberg, where disturbances are threatened. Przemysi has over fifteen thousand inhabitants. Clark Gets His sentence. Wilmington, Del., June 28.—-Thomas S. Clark, convicted in the federal court here of aiding and abetting and con- spiring with William N. Boggs, defaul- ting paying teller of the First National Bank of Dover, was yesterday sentenc- ed -to five years’ imprisonment and a fine of $5,000. His imprisonment will be in the New Jersey penitentiary at Trent-on, where E. T. Cooper, convict- ed recently of a like offence, is now serving a sentence of eighteen months. Argument in the demurrers offered by the defence to the indictment of Unit-ed States Senator Richard R. Ken- ney for complicity in Boggs’s crime, began yesterday. The Kenney trial will begin on Tuesday, July 5. a Peury's Arctic Ship. New York, June 28.—-The Arctic ex- ploring steamer Windward, presented to Lieutenant Robert E.
