I had an attack of Eczema, and ordered a
box of oxide of zinc ointment. The first
application changed the Eczema to hell-fire,
which seemed unquenchable. The druggist
had used a rancid oerate and I was poisoned.
A local physician did not hel matters, and
everything either failed to he , or made it

thought of CUTICURA antennas, and dis-

War DepartmentVOrders All Har-

The Submarine Mines Placed in All
Harbors at the Beginning of the War
No Longer Needed—Since the Destruc-
tion of the Spanish Fleet No Foreign
Invasion Seems Likely.
. Washington, D. 0., July 13.—The sec-
ire't‘ary of war has ordered
removal of all the submarine mines
which now protect the harbors of the
United States against the entry of hos—
tile ships.
This action was decided upon at ye-s~
terday’s cabinet meeting. For weeks
past. in fact almost since the beginning
of hostilities, the war department has
been deluged with protests from the
commercial interests of the country
which operated to the detriment of
commerce.
In certain cases influences were
brought to bear that secured an abate-
ment of the rules, but this only in-
creased thevdissatisfaction in localities

and of the exemption of the United
of any hostile power. After thoroughly
considering the subject it has been de-

and quickest means of removihg the
mines is by exploding them and orders
to do this have been prepared for trans-
mission to all of the United States en-
gineer officers in charge of harbor de-
fences throughout the country.
Since the destruction of Admiral Cer-
vera.’ s fleet and the removal from
these waters of the last remnant of the
Spanish navy the war department has
been flooded with requests from all the
Atlantic’ coast cities that the mines
and‘ torpedoes in the harbors and riv-
ers be taken Out.
Secretary Alger then said that he had
discussed with General Wilson, chief of
engineers, the advisability of clearing
the harborsgof these mine-S and that
he would definitely settle the matter.

to maintain them until there was no
longer the faintest apprehension entew

powers that: by any possibility might

Naval Officials Believe Iowa and Indiana
Ase Not Seriously Damaged.
Washington, D. 0., July 13.--'l‘he na-
vy' department has received no word
as to the injuries to the forward turo
rets of the battleships Iowa and Indi-
ana, as referred to in press dispatches.
From this fact the officials conclude
that the injuries are not at all serious,
as any material disarrangementot the
turrets would be quickly reported.
For some time there has been diffi-
culty in securing an acute elevation of
big guns in the torrets of the Iowa. The
lack of elevation .is’ of no disadvantage
in the general utility of the guns which
are fired with little or no elevation.

The dispatch addsthat two. bands of
insurgents at Cebu have been defeated
and that threeglnsurgent leaders have
been captured and shot.
In, conclusion the ofl'icial dispatch
announces that there is no news from
other parts of the island.

{ SPAIN’SV TERMS-OF PEACE. , :.
DANGER NO LONGER?
What She is Willing to Give Up to Stop
the m... ‘ .-
Madrid, July 13.--‘The possibility of
peace with the United States is being
widely discussed in the newspapers and
by the public. The Conservative pa-
pers declare Spain is prepared to ac-
cept peace provided it implies only the
loss of Cuba. But, they add, Spain
would prefer war a l’ou-trance if the
Ilnited States claims Porto Rico, the
Philippine islands or an immense in-
demnity which would be impossible for
Spain to pay. ‘
The Correspondencia asserts that
General C-orrea, the minister for war,
does not disagree with the other cabi-
net ministers so seriously as generally
supposed, and in View of the gravity
of the Cuban situation, it is possible
he will no longer oppose peace, pro-
vided the conditions are not too oner-
ous.
The public connects the recent con-
ference between Duke Almodovar del
Rio, the Spanish minister for foreign
affairs, and the French ambassador
here, M. Patenotre, with the report that
the French ambassador at Washing—
ton, M. Cambon, has been instructed
to ascertain the lightest conditions up-
on which peace is obtainable.
Other Spanish newspapers continue
the violent anti- -peace campaign. The
Ejercito Espanol, a Service paper,
says.
“If we make peace now We deserve to
be spat in the face. If Santiago falls
there still remain 180, 000 Spaniards in
Cuba who are determined to defend
that territory.”
The Correspondencia Militar, another
'Service paper, declares the government
must act in conformity with the wishes
of the army in Cuba, which, it adds,
desires\to continue the war.

PLANS FOR WATSON.
VI! Santiago Falls He Will Start'To-
marrow.
Washington, July 13.--‘The time for
the sailing of the eastern squadron un-
der Commodore Watson depends upon
the action at Santiago. Should the city
surrender, Commodore Watson will be
ready to sail to- day.
The only difficulty, it is said at the
navigation bureau, is the orders to the
Yosemite. This auxiliary cruiser isoff
San Juan at present and there is great
difficulty in communicating with her:
“We are trying to reach her,” said
an officer of the navigation bureau,
"but have not yet succeeded. The squaa'
dron is certainly going to Spain and
ought to sail this w eek. There will be
no unnecessary delay.” . ~
It is the belief that the ‘YoSemite will
‘join the Watson squadron off San Juan.
Germany and Samoa.
Berlin, July 13.—T‘he Vossuisc-he Zei-
tung, foreseeing that after the 'annexay
tion of Hawaii it is “possible that the
United States may attempt to acquire
the Samo—an islands also,” says:
"America has pnactically no right,
in Samoa, and Germany’s voice ‘must-
rank befdre America’ s in the future fate
of the islands. Germany will, there-
fore, take care that her interests are
protected in the final settlement."
