RESTORE”

After I was taken ill my hair commenced to
fall, and turned .gray rapidly. I commenced
to use Conchita. The scalp became healthier
and more natural every day. Now I have a

- . .crop of finebrown hair all over my head about

an inch and a half in length. My nurse is de-
lighted because the new hairs are brown. I
never hadwery luxuriant hair, even in my
youth. alt is as thick on my head to-day as it
ever was, and CUTICURA did it.

Washington, July 11.—It is absolutely
certain that, at the present time, the
administration is counting upon the al-
most immediate fall of Santiago, this
to be followed at once by the gomg of
General Miles, with the later volunteer
troops that have been sent to Santiago,
to Porto Rico. .

Immediately after the fall of Santia—
go General Shaffer and the greater
part of his army that 'he has had in
Cuba will be left in Santiago provmce,
while General Miles, with the recent
reinforcements and some of the regu—
lars will go to Porto Rico.

In a quiet way the war department
for more than a week has been busy
gettingtogether “rush matter” on Por-
to Rice for the information of the gen-
erals and staff officers who know they
are soon to go to Porto Rico. Many
telegrams have come to “the war def,
partment in the last few days. from
them asking for more information as
to Porto Rico. and information has
been sent to them without delay to
Charleston, whence the geater part of
the earlier Porto Rican expedition will.
sail.

These reinforcements will include the
Eighth Ohio, which went. from New
York in the St. Paul, and the other two
regiments of Garrclson’s brigade, the
Sixth Illinois and the Sixth Massachu-
setts. Those that start after rthe fall
of Santiago will probably go directly
'to Porto Rico. Genera-l Miles will go
with the others from Santiago.

Admiral Sampson will have in his

 

squadron, besides protected cruisers,
the Iowa. Texas, Indiana, Brooklyn and
New York. The .Massachusetts had

 

been included, but this has been chang- .
ed. The fleet of Admiral Sampson is
txpcctcd to blockade the island com--
pletely and to make way for landing
the'army at a point'not yet ascertain-
ed, probably on the northei‘n side of]
the island, wesrtof San Juan.

It is thought that the Spanish army

 

in the province of Santiago de Cuba
will have become so exhausted by the
time of the fall of the city that peace
may be maintained by the volunteers.

General Miles will therefore put his
main dependence upon United States
regulars, to w‘honnhe said, belonged
the greater part of the .gloryachieved
General
the, fighting there
practically a. test ofgthe regular army,
and did notseem to consider seriously
the volunteers 'in connection with the
safe work of regular (United States
troops. ‘ ., ,

Before leavingfor the front Genera-l
Miles, speaking of the performance of
the regular army before Santiago, re—
marked ‘ . ,

“I was proud of the courage with
which they bore the hardships of the
heat and rain, and of the unflinching
way in which'they behaved all along
the line.. , , .
“There is not a. finer body of men
either for marksmanship or ot-herWlse,
in Germany, 'F'rance, Russia or. Eng-
land than our little regular army.”

After cemplimenting General Shaf-
ter, he counted over on his fingers the
names of the brigade commanders and
said it was the work of the “army’.’
caused Admiral Cervera. to decide to
leave, the harbor. He used the word
“army” all through his conversation
in the sense of the United States regur—
lar-s. but would not be drawn" into any
sharp invidiou-s comparisons of the
regulars with the volunteers before
Santiago.

He went further in a warmer strain.
saying what concern he felt when they
were taken off in transports; what
pains he took to make their jour—
ney' easy and what uneasiness he, felt
lest a storm migh't force them below
decks. Then it was, he said, he wished
to go with them, and asked permission,
but was' ordered back. '

 

SUFFERING AMONG
Women at El Caney “”110 Have Plenty of
Money Are Found Starving.~

Siboney, Cuba, July 9, via Port Anto-
nio, Jamaica, July 10.———The heartrend—
ing scenes at El Chaney make the army
wild at the prolongation of the armis-
tice. "

The shooting of spies in our uniform
and also of guerillas has had a good
effect. .

W'omen are picked up nearly starv-
ed who have large sums of money on
them. One woman had seven hundred
dollars. _ :

Captain McCralla. is feeding seven
thousand refugees from Guantanamo.

Nicholas Fisrh has arrived to see'if
he could take home the body of his
son. .

The Resolute took off four hundred
prisoners from the Harvard and pro-
ceeded to Charleston.

Coal is running short in the fleet.

Commodore Schley’s report to Admi-
ral Sampson on the destruction of Cer-
vera’s fleet says Captain Clark of the
Brooklyn and Captain Phillip of‘ “the
Texas did magnificent work, and the
terrible fire from the Texas, Iowa and
Oregon wrecked the first ships.

“Of the Brooklyn‘s splendid work
and the crew's gallant conduct 1 can-
not say too much.”

TO TAKE CARE OF .CAMARA.

 

Ono Change May Be ‘Made Bemnoe of
Injuries the Iowa Received in Battle.
Washington, July il.——The navy de-

partment has not decided to increase
the number of Commodore Watson’s
ships, as has been reported, 'as 'it is felt
that the list already announced is
ample to take care of Admiral Cama-
ra’s squadron, now returning hastily
to protect 'the coast of Spain. Camara’s

" pairs on the Iowa.

been reached thus far, as the depart-
ment has not received the report show-
ing the exact condition of the ships
after the battle. ‘

The interview with Captain Evans
of the Iowa leads naval officials to be-
lieve that he Iowa will require consid-
erable overhauling before she is ready
for a trip across the ocean. Accord-
ing to Captain Evans’s story of the
battle, the Iowa was struck twice by
Spanish shells and one shell exploded
while the other is imbedded, unexplod—
ed, near the water line of the ship.
This last shot may prove troublesome,
as an unexploded shell near the water
line is not a desirable adjunct to a
battleship. From the light manner in
which Ca‘ptain Evans speaks of the
damage it is not regarded as serious
by the officials here, yet it is probably
enough to keep the Iowa from accom-
panying the Eastern squadron to ‘the
coast of Spain. A decision as to wheth-
er she will be withdrawn will not be
made until the report is received on the
condition of the ship.

Either the Massachusetts or the In-
diana. will be substituted for the Iowa
if it be found necessary to make a
change. Either of them is as formida—
ble as the Iowa. Their four large guns
are of the 13-inch type, while those of
the Iowa are 12-inch.« In other re-
spects their batteries are similar to the
Iowa’s. They are commonly regarded
as rather better'seagoing ships. than
the Iowa. ‘

CERVER’A‘ARRIVES AS A PRIS-ONEfii

 

Will Be Treated Courteously in Remem-
' brance of Ills 'Kihdness to Hobsnn.
Washington, July 10.—The St. Louis

was sighted yesterday of Portsmouth.

N. H. -

Admiral Cervera, with about 40 of
his officers and 800 of his men, are on
board. It is understood here that the
Spanish officers will be kept in An-
napolis and the men at Fort Constitu-
tion, on Seavey island, just near there.

Captain Bartlett, chief of Ithe intelli-
gence office, was much gratified that
the St. Louis had been sighted so
promptly. He said she had never been
lost sight of from the time she came.
within range of our shores.

Every one at the Naval Academy is
imbued with the sentiment that the
Spanish officers to be sent to Annapo-
lis should be treated not simply as
prisoners 'of war but as guests of the
nation, and all the preparations made
for their reception are in this spirit.

Captain Phi-lip H. Cooper, superin—
tendenlt of the Naval Academy, said: ,

“All that I know about the matter
is, I have received an order from Wash-
ington to make ready for the reception
of eighty Spanish officers captured.
While I have received no positive in-
structions yet from Washington on the
subject, the Academy will hereafter be
a military prison, and the good people
of Annapolis will have to accommodate
themselves to it. It would not do to
throw the academy open -to the public
so that these unfortunate officers be
made objects of unpleasant scrutiny,
for they have suffered enough already.”

Captain Cooper sta.ed that‘40 oili-
cers would arrive on Monday and forty
more in a week. As soon as the notice
was received by the superintendent
that the Spanish officers would be sent
here he gave orders to have cadets’
lower quanters prepared for their re-
ception.

These buildings are known as Strib-
bling row, and lie in the southeastern
section of the Academy, between the.
old mess hall and the gymnasium. The
row consists of nine buildings, but only
Nos. .2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 will be occupied
by the prisoners. Nos. 2, 3 and 4 are
two-story buildings, with basements;
the others are three stories. Nos. 7 and
8 will be occupied by-officers of high
rank and the junior oflicers will have
the other buildings. These quarters
are used by 'tlhe cadets and bachelor
officers and professors when the Acad-
emy is in session. .

The prisoners will be under the pa-

trol of a marine guard of forty. For
the present their commissary will be
Thomas Evans, steward. Paymaster
Loo-mis, who was ordered away this
week to Portsmouth~ as commissary for
the prisoners there, is expected to re-
turn here and assume the management
of the food supplyof the Spanish offi-
cers. , ,
“Among. those who recently occupied
these quarters are Assistant Naval
Constructor Hobson,_ Lieutenant Blue
and Cadets Powell and Hart. Mr. Hob:-
so-n’s apartments adjoin the Spanish
quarters, and as head of'the depart-
ment 'of'n’aval construction he has much
valuable naval data. there. The head
carpenter of the academy will. under
orders, securely nail up the apart—
ment. ‘

THE ‘HAWAllA‘N COM'MJ‘ISSIONER'S.“

 

They Will Draw Up Laws for Government
' or the Island.

Washington, July 11.—The president
has. selected fiVe commissioners who,
under the provisions of the act of Con-
gress, extending American sovereignty.
over Hawaii, are to visit the Hawaiian
islands and drawno for the-guidance
of Congress a scheme of laws for the
government of the latest territorial ad-
di'tlonto 1the Union. .The commission-
ers‘are as follows:

Senator Shelby M. Cullom of Illi-
nois. ‘- '

Senator John '1‘. Morgan of Alaba-

Representative Robert R. Hitt of Il-
linois.

President Sanford B. Dole of Haw-
aii.

Justice 'W. F. Frear of Hawaii.

The president had intended to have
Senator Davis, chairman of the foreign
relations committee of the Senate, serve
as head of *the commission, but other
engagements, personal and profession-
al, made it impossible for Mr. Davis to
make a. trip to Hawaii this summer.
Mr. Hitt was also reluctant to accept
a place as commissioner, but finally
yielded to the president’s urgent desire
that he should give to the administra-
tion the benefit of his experience in
drawing up a scheme of government for
the annexed islands. It is understood
that the three commissioners chosen
from Congress will start for Honolulu
about theend of the month. Their re-
port will not be submitted to Congress
until next December. -

 

PLENTY OF FOOD.

 

lf Ratlons Have Been Reduced It is
Because of Diflicultv in Transportation.

Washington, July 11.——'“The story
printed this mornir -" to the effect that
our troops were limited 'to half rations
may be true,” said Commissary General
Eagan yesterday, “but General S'haftcr
has four months‘ supply of provisions
on the beach. ‘ '

“This, however,” he continued, “has
to be carried fifteen miles to the lines
and spread over five miles of soldiers
investing the city. This is incident to
every investing army," General Eagan
added. '

"There is plenty of food there for the
army and‘foxr all the refugees-besides.
Besides these supplies the Port Victor
will leave New York to—pmorrow with
2,000 tons of stuff for Cuba. This will
not be fed .to the army, but. will be
distributed by the general commanding
according to 'the provisions of the act
giving relief 'to the reconcentra'd-os and
other suffering cubans.

“The Port Victor will stop on the way
to-Tampa to take on 200,000 pounds of
refrigerated beef, space for which has
"been reserved. The first cargo of re-
frigerated beef, 200,000 pounds, leaves
Tampa 'to-day on the Mohawk. This
supply is estimated to last the army
four or five daysand is intended'v‘only
for the army.” -
