IIO'I' SHOT.
Steadily Poured Into the
Camp of Disease in
Norwalk.
California Catarrh Cure is perform-
ing its mission in Nor walk. Month by
month thousands are added to the
growing army. of its users and friends.
In a few short months it has bounded
into the foremost position as the most
popular remedy in N orwalk There
are none in the city now who have not
heard of it, and the number of those
who do not use it grows smaller every
, day.
The reasons of its sudden and lasting
popularity are easy to find. Ask the
next man you meet, and he will tell
you it is because it removes the bad
breath, the slime in the throat, and the
scabs 1n the nose, because it has stop-
ped the hawking, choking, gagging
and nausea: because it has cured the
aching head, the dry throat, the buzz-.-
ing in the ears, broken up stubborn
colds, prevented tonsilitis, diphtheria,
bronchitis and consumption, and per-
manently removed ever y trace of
catarrh. That' 15 what 1t has done and
is doing to disease in N orwalk, and on
cures like the following rests its won-
derful popularity:
Mr. Alfred Platt, 9 Maple street,
Norwalk, says: “I have been a great
sufferer from catarrh for over thirty
years, having contracted the disease
during the war. My whole head seem-
ed full of scabs, and the discharge
from the nose and into the throat was-
somethlng awful. My head ached con-
tinually, and I never got agood night’s
sleep. I procured a bottle of Cali-
fornia Catarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug
store, South Norwalk. It has given
me more relief than 1 have had for
years; my head is very much improved
and I can ‘now sleep all night. It is
certainly a great reliever, and I am
glad to recommend it. Nothing among
all the things I tried before helped me
one quarter as much in months as
C. 0.0. has In a few weeks. ”
You don’t have to wait to find out if
it will help you, for it relieves at once.
To avoid Hay Fever in its season, use
0.0.0. now. It is a sure preventive of
this and all mucous diseases. All

“rashington, 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 going of
Gen eral Miles, with the later volunteer
troops that have been sent to Santiago,
to For to Rico.
Immediately after the fall of Santia-
go General Shaffer and the greater
part of his army that he has had In
Cuba 11111 be left in Santiago province,
while Geneial Miles, with the recent
reinforcements and some of the regu-
1111's will go'to Porto R1 0
In a quiet way' the war department
for more than a week has been busy
getting together “rush matter” on Por—
to Rico for the information 0f the gen-
erals and staff officers who know they
are soon to go to Porto Rico. Many
telegrams have come to the war de-
partment in the last. fevl 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, wliirh w cut from New
York in the St. Paul, and the other two
regiments of Garreison’s brigade, the
Sixth Illinois and the Sixth Massachu-
setts. Those that stait after :the fall
of Santiago will probably go directly
to Porto Rico. General Miles will go
with the others from Santiago.
Admiral Sampson will have in' his
squadron, besides wrotected cruisers,
the Iowa, Tex-as. Indiana, Brooklyn and
New York The Massachusetts had
been included, but this has been chang-
ed. The fleet of Admiral SampsOn is
txpectcd to blockade the island com-
pletely and to make way for landing
the army at a point not yet ascértai. -
ed, probably on the northern side of
the island, west of 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 whom, he said, belonged
the greater part of "the glory achieved
General
there
Miles considered the fighting
‘practically a. test of the regular army.
‘and did not seem to consider seriously
the volunteers in connection with the
safe work of regular United States
troops.
Before leaving for the front Genera-1
Miles, speaking of the performance of
’the regular army before Santiago, rej-
marked
“1 was proud of the oo'urage 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 otherwise,
in Germany, France, Russia or Eng—
land than our little regular army.’
After complimenting General Shaf-
ter. be counted over on his fingers the

ney easy'and What uneasiness 11;- felt

CERVERA ARRIVES as A PRIS‘ONE‘R‘
Will Be Treated Courteously innemem-
-brance of His Kindness to Hobsnu. .
.W-aslrington, 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 lthe 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 Philip H. Co-,oper superin-
tendent 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 S‘panis-h officers captured.
While I have received no positive in-
structions yet from VVashing-ton on the
subject, the Academy will hereafter be
a. military prison, and the good people
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 stated that 40 offi-
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’
low er quarters prepared for their re-
cepti on.
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 officers will have
the other buildings. These quarters
are used by the cadets and bachelor
officean 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
Loomis, who was ordered away this
the prisoners there, is expected to re-
turn here and assume the management
of the food supply of 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-
son's apartments adjoin the Spanish
quarters, and as head of the depart-
ment of naval construction he has much
valuable naval data. there. The head
carpenter'of the academy will. under
orders, securely nail up the apant<
ment.
THE HAWAIIAN-COMMISSIONERS -
They Will Draw Up Laws for Government
of th“ [bland
Washington, July 11.—The president
has selected five commissionerswho,
under the provisions of the act or Corr-
gress, extending American sovereignty
over Hawaii, are to visit the Hawaiian
islands and draw up for the guidance
of Congress a’scheme of laws for the
government of the latest territorial ad-
dition to “the Union. The commission-
ers are as: follows: , ‘ ‘
Senator Shelby M. Cullom 011113-
nois. ' ‘
Senator John T. Morgan 0f Alaba-
ma.
" Representative Robert R. Hitt of II-
linois. '
President Sanford B. Dole of Haw-
ail.
Jvrstice,.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...bersona1 and profession-
a1, made it impossible for Mr. Davis to
make a. trip to H9 waii this summer.
MI- Hitt was also Ialuctant to accept
a place as comm‘: sinner, but finally
vieided to the pres Iient’ 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 the end of the month. Their re-
port will not be $1! hmitted to Congress
unlil next December.

Washington, July 11. —“The story

0111' tro-ops' were lim'. ted to half rations
mav be true,” said Commissary General
Eagan yesterday. “but General Shatter
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 for all the refugees besides.
Besides these supplies the Port Victor
will leave New York to-morrow with
2,000 tons of stuff for Cuba. This will
not be fed -to‘the army, but will be
distributed by the general commanding
giving relief to the reconcentrados and
other suffering cubans.
"The Port Victor will stop on the way
to Tampato take 011 200.000 pounds of
refrigerated beef. space for xvhich has
been reserved. The first cargo of re-
frigerated beef, 200,000 hounds, leaves.
Tampa to-da'y on the Mohawk. This
supply is estimated to last the army
four or five days and is intended only
for the army.” .

TO TAKE CARE OF CAMARA. ,e.
One .Change May Be Made Because .01
Injuries/the Iowa Received in Battle.
Washington, July: 11.—The navy de--
plartment has not decided to increase
the number of Commodore Watson's
ships, as 'has been reported, as it is felt
that the list already announccd
ample to take care of Admiral Cama-
ra’s squadron, now returning haStily
to protect the coast of Spain. Camar-a’s
only armored ships are the Pelayo. flax--
105 V, the former of 9,900 and [the latter
of 9,090 tons. They are outranked in
every point by the ships of the Ameri-
can squadron, in armor, armament,
speed, sibze and 'number of guns and
general effectiveness.
speed, size and number of guns and,
a. change may have to be made in the
Eastern squadron, as the Iowa 3111‘-
f-ered some hard knocks“ in the recent
'n-aval battle with Cervera’s squadron,
and it may be necessary ~._to~:substitute
one of the other battleships pending re-
pairs on the Iowa. No decision. has
been reached thus far, as the depart-
ment has not received the report shbw-
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, unexplo 1-
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 Captain 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.~withdra.wn will not be
made until the report is received on the
condition of the ship.
Either ,the'Massachus-etts 01' the In-
diana will be substituted for the Iowa
if it be found necessary to make a
change. Either of them is as formida-I
ble as the Iowa. Their'four large guns
are of the 13-inch type, w'hile“'thos-e 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.

Thousands of Cubans, some esti-
mates placing the number at 20,000,
are being fed at the camp on the west
side of the harbor with supplies fur-
ni'shed by the Red Cross. '
The health of the marines at Guan:
tanamo is good, but the same cannot
be said of those at Baiquiri, where 40
per cent of the 100 men stationed there
are reported sick, suffering from low
fevers.
On July 5 ninety Spaniards appeared
on the hills west of Baiquiri and op-
ened fire. The gunboat Manning re:
plied vigorously and her shells soon"
silenced and drove away the enemy.
Typhoid Cases at ( hickamauza
New York, July 11. —Reponts to the

Third corps, hospital, and the majority
of them are suffering from fever. There
are 150 cases-in the Lexi-fer hospital and
those in charge expect that the num-
ber will increase to 300. Elias Charles
Smith, the Red Cross agent at that
place, has asked for permission to in-
crease the supply of ice and fresh milk.
He has also ordered more medical sup-

ployment of a local celebrity—a sort of
tinker at any mechanical job. There
is generally one in every locality. He
gave two or three raps with his hammer
and touched up a rod or two, when the
pounding, or whatever ailed the ma-
chinery 'ceased. When asked to make
out his bill, it read as follows:
Fixing Engine, 8 .50
Knowing how, 10.00
Total, 810. 50
This anecdote has nothing earthly to
do with Mr. 111. F. Knapp, engineer
and fireman at Roth & Goldschmidt’s,
South N orwalk but it serves to intro-
duce him to the Norwalk public, and
tion between the tinker’ 3 work on the
engine and average humanity’s, when
they tinker with their kidneys. Mr.
Knapp tells how he cured his. Read
this statement:
“I am an old time engineer, and like
a great many men who followed my
calling, the weak spot in my anatomy is
my back, probably caused by becoming
over-heated' 1n a warm atmosphere and
then expose to cold. Be that as it may,
I had considerable trouble with my
kidneys, and although I used simple
household remedies and on one or two
occasions took medicine, I was never
able to completely rid myself of the at-
tacks. Reading about the work per-
formed by Doan’s Kidney Pills in and
around the Norwalk's, I came to the
conclusion that they might help me,
and procuring a supply, I commenced
the treatment. After completing it I
was so greatly improved 1n my general
health that I conscientiously endorse
Doan’s Kidney Pills.”
Just such emphatic endorsement is
plentiful' 1n Norwalk. Drop into Glen-

Napoleon. and the Plough.
A certain incident connected with the
great Napoleon while he was in exile
at Elba; is commemOrate’d in‘ the is-
land, to this hour, by an inscription of.
fixed to the wall of a peasant's house.
A man named Glaconi- was ploughing
When the famous exile came along one
day, and expressed. an interest in his
work. Napoleon even took the
ploughsharc out of the man’s hand,
and attempted to guide it himself. But:
the oxen refused to obey him, over-
turned the plough, and spoiled the:
row.
The inscription runs thus:—
fi‘Na‘pdleon the Great passing by this
place in MDCCCXIV t9&k in the
neighboring field a plo’ughshare from
the hands or a peasant, and himself
[tried to plough, but the oxen, rebellious
to those hands which yet had guided
Europe. headlong fled from the tur~

V spectacles! Gown.
Cows with spectacles are to be seen
on the Russian steppes- The steppes
are covered with snow more than six
months of the year. The cows subsist
on the tufts of grass which crop above
the snow, and the rays of the sun on
the snow are so dazzling, as to cause
blindness. To obviate this calamity,
it occurred to a. klnd-heart'ed'man to
protect the cows’s eyes in the same
way as those of human beings, and be
manufactured smoke-colored specta-
cles which could be safely worn by
cattle. These spectacles were a. great
success, and are n'ow worn by upwards
of 40,000 head of cattle, who no longer
suffer from the snow-blindness which
once caused such untold suffering
amongst them.
