Steadily Poured Into
Camp of Disease in
Norwalk.
the
California Catarrh Cure is perform-
ing its mission in N orwalk Month by
month thousands are added to the
g1 owing 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
gho do not use it grows smaller every
ay.
The reasons of its sudden and lasting
p0pu1arity 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 in 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 every trace of
catarrh. That IS what 1t has done and
is doing to disease in N orwalk and on
cures like the following rests its won-
derful popularity.
1 M1. Alfred Platt, 9 Maple street,
N orwalk, 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 I have had f01
years; my head is very much improIved
t 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. C. C. has in a few weeks.”
You don’t have to wait to find out if
it will help you, for it relieves at once.

War Department Orders All Bar-
bor Mines Exploded.
roaster FOE NOT 1'31an
The Submarine llIines 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-
retary of war has ordered. the
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 yes-
terday’s cabinet meeting. For weeks
past, in fact almost since th_e beginning
of hostilities, the war department has
been deluged with protests. from the
commercial interests of the country
against the continuance of these mines
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 the dissatisfaction in localities
where they were so rigid-1y applied.
Practically it has been impossible for
shipping to enter or leave any of the
harbors of the United States during
the last two months betWeen. the hours
of sunset and sunrise.
I To Explode the Mines. .
The decision of the cabinet to remove
these mines now is one of most signal
manifestations of the supreme confi-
dence of the government in the future
and of the exemption of the United
States ports from attack at the hands
of any hostile power. After thoroughly
considering the-subject it has been de-
cided by the engineers that the safest
and quickest means of removing 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 dc-
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 flood-ed with requests from all the
Atlantic, coast cities that thermines
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 harbors of these mines and that
he would definitely settle the matter.
Next the reported appearance of a
Spanish privateer off the Northwest
coast afforded an opportunity to the
engineer officers to justify themselves
for insisting upon the maintenance of
the mines, which now guard all navi-
gable harbors.
’While' it was recalled that these
mines Were a serious interference with
trade and public convenience, it was
said to be still absolutely necessary
to maintain them until there was no
longerthe faintest apprehension enter-
tained of complications .with European
powers that by any possibility might
‘ end in hostilities.
INJURIES TO BATTLESHIPS.
Naval Officials Believe Iowa and Indiana
Are Not Seriously Damaged.
Washington, D. C.,-July 13.--The na-
vy department has received n'o'word

From this fact the officials conclude
that the injuries are not at all serious,
as any material disarran-geme‘nt of the
turrets would be quickly reported
For some time there has been diffi-t
culty in securing ‘an acute elevation of
big guns in the turrets of the Iowa. The
lack of elevation is of no disadvantage. ,

are fired with little or no elevation.‘

Washington, D. 0., July 13.--It is pre-
dicted at the war depa1tment that the
Porto Rican expedition will be off in-
side of ten days. I
Already troops are being gathered on
the sea. coast preliminary to the dis-
patch of transports bound for San-
Juan. . ‘
.Two light batteries, consisting of
Troops C and M of the Seventh United
States artillery left Fort Myer Mon-
day night for Tampa. under orders to
proceed to San Juan with the first
transports that leave.
General Ernst’s brigade, composed of
the Third Illinois, Fourth Pennsylva-
nia and Fourth Ohio, which was origi-
nally slated for Santiago, is to go to
Porto Rico and as soon as the neces—
sary ships can e provided for these
troops and the 'wo batteries of artil-
lery, they will sail for Tampa.
The department intends to withdraw
from Santiago after the fall of that
city, practically all the white troops
now there. The place is to be garrison-
ed by colored troops and by the regi-
ments of immu- .es now being recruited
in Louisiana and other southern states.
Generall Wyman of the Marine Hos-
pital service has reported to the war
department that the city of Santiago
is a. perfect :hot bed of yellow fever in
mid-summer and that it will be unsafe
for any but immunes to remain in the
place.
The department is now arranging to
sen-d immune nurses to Santiago to ac--
company the troops that are to sup-
plant the white soldiers now at that
place. Several surgeons have been de-
tailed to go to New Orleans and enlist
immune nurses. .

LA BOURGOGNIE INQUIRY.
Government Investigation at Halifax—
Capt. Henderson Testifies.
Halifax, N. 8., July 13.--The govern-
ment inquiry into the cause of the loss
of the steamship Bourgogne and the
damage to the ship Cromartyshire com-
mence-d yesterday. The investigation
is likely 'to be prolonged, as all parties
have retained eminent local counsel to
represent them. The inquiry is most
important, as actions for damages or
actions for manslaughter may be. foun-
ded upon the conclusion reached.
Captain Henderson, master of the
Cromartyshire, was first called. As
near as he could remember it was five
o’clock when, while in~ the chart room,
he hearda. steamer’s, fog whistle. The
captain asked the chief officer if he
heard it, and 'he replied “No." In a
minute or so it was heard again. All
on deck heard thewhistle at this time.
The direction of the sound (If the. stea-
mer’s whistle could not be located un-
til the last blast just before the col-
lision. The approaching ship’s whistle
sounded on the port bow. He could do ’
nothing. The steamer struck the in-
stant after he saw her bow. It Was just
like a. flash. Two ships' models were
pr.oduced showing the point of con-
tact.
The-ship’s log. which has already
been published, was then read by the
court.
The ecurt then adjourned until this
morning. . .
' DIVISION OF 'PRIZE‘MONEY.
Admiral. Sampson .Wlll Get $10,000 for
(the Destruction! of Corvera’s Fleet. :
Washington, July 13. «On the basis
of a calculation made on reports al-
ready received as to the work of the
various- --vessels of Sampson’s fleet in
the capture and destiuction of Cerva-
ra’s ships, it is unofficially estimated
that Admiral Sampson will receive $10, -
000 in prize money. Commodore Schley
$4, 000 and the captains of the ships en-
gaged in the fight each $2, 500. _
The amount that will go to the sail-
ors cannot yet be even approximately
estimated, but will possibly be as low
as $25 to each man. It will probably
be necessary for Congress to appropri- ;
ate the money. '
The navy department has already be-
gun the work of making up the esti-
mates of Dewey’s prize captures at
Manila.

SPAI-N’S TERMS. OF’ PEACE.
What She is Willing to Give Up to Stop
the War.
Madrid, JulyI13.--'I1‘he possibility of
peace with the United States is being
widely discussed in the news-papers and
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 You-trance if the‘
United States claims Porto Rico, the
Philippine islands or an immense in-
demnity which would be impossible for
Spain to pay. - -.

of the Cuban situation, .it is possible

The public connects the recent con-
fefence between Duke Almodovar del

affairs, and the French ambassador
here, M. Patenotre, with the report that
the French ambassador ‘at Washing-
ton, M. Cambon, has been in-struCted

on which peace is obtainable.

the violent anti-peace campaign. The
Ejercito Esp-anal, a. Service paper,
says:
“If we make peacemow 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.

PLANS FOR WATSON.
If Santiago Falls He Will Start To-

Washington, July 13. --T-he 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 is off
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 squa-
droIn is certainly going to Spain and
ought to sail this week. There will be
no unnecessary delay."
It is the belief that the Yosemite will
join the Watson squadron off San Juan.

tung, foreseeing that after the annexa-
tion of Hawaii it is “possible that the

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 Norwalks, 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 in my general
health that I conscientiously'endorse
Doan’s Kidney Pills.”
Just such emphatic endorsement is

I Spectacles! Cows.
Cows with spectacles are to be seen
on the Busisiim 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 thisrgcalamity,
it occurred to a kind-hearted than to
prefect the cows’s eyes in thei‘same
way as those of human beings, and he
manufactured ‘ smoke-colored specta-
cles which could be safely worn by
cattle. These ‘speCtacles were a'great
success, andare now worn by upwards
of 40,000 head of cattle, who no longer
suffer from the snow-blindness which
once caused such untold entering
