FROM EBZEMA
CURED BY CUTICU RA
For ten years I suffered untold agonies from
Eczema, my lower limbs being so swollen and
broken out that I could hardly go about. My
brother, a physician of thirty y’ears practice,
and other physicians of splendid ability, tried
in vain to effect a cure and signally failed. I
became absolutely disheartened, and had lost
all hope, when a friend induced me to give
CUTICUBA REMEDIES a trial. I used two

General Shafter, Playa del Este, Cuba:
Accept my hearty congratulations on
the record mode of the magnificent for-

in the desperate fighting of the troops
before Santiago. I realize the hard—
ships, dllflculties 'and sufferings, and
am proud that amid those terrible
scenes the troops illustnated suoh fear-
less and patriotic devotion to the wel-
fare of our common country and flag.
Whatever the results to follow their-
unsurpassed deeds of valor, the past is
already a gratifying chapter of his~
tory. I expect to be with you within

The News in Madrid.
Madrid, July 5.-—Up to late“ last. eve—
ning the officials wereconsoling them:
selves with such news as 1tho follOwing:
An official dispatch from Santiago de
Cuba says.
“Admiral Cervera’s fleet sustained
for an hour- 'the fire or the American
fleet. It then disappeared westward,
followed by the American squadron.
We lost two torpedo boat destroyers.”
A later official dispatch from San-ti-
aglo de Cuba says:
“Admiral Cervera’s squadron made
a sortie from Santiago, traversing the
channel without incident. Bill: a heavy
oannonade was heard outside (the har-
bor and it is supposed a. naval battle
was proceeding. -
Would Exchange Cervera tor Holman.
Washington, July 5,—T'he release of
'Hobson and the other heroes of the
Mortimer: incident is likely to be th-
er result of the events transpiring yes- -
terday. It may now come about either
by the surrender of the city, which
would include the surrender o-i'_Hob-
son and other American prisoners, or
else by the exchange of Hobson for
Aldmlral Cervera or some other high
ranking naval official.

TO PORTO RICO NEXT.
Troops Now on the “'ater to Go to San
Juan. !
Washington, July 5.-—-'1‘ e feeling at
the war department that antiago, be-
ing covered by Shafter’s siege guns on
the heights around the town, and by
the guns of Sampson's ships, must sur-
render before t'he' day is over, has led
to a complete revolution of the plans-
which were formulated when General
Shafter's dispatch calling for immedi-
ate reinforcements was received.
As soon asGerneral Shatter’s troops
have been thoroughly rested they will
be fprwarded to Porto Rico.
The anmy come under General
Brooke at Camp Thomas, Chickamaug-a
now under marching orders, will prob-
ably be the first troops to leave for
orto Rico.
PThe soldiers of General Snyder’s di-
vision at Tampa are believed to be on
the water bound for Santiago. It is
the purpose toforward them immedi-
ately after their arrival at that place
to Porto Rico, with-out disembarking
the soldiers from the tlansports. with
the exception perrrhr s of one. or two
regiments which will replace some of
the troops of General Shafter‘s army.
