Steadily Poured Into the
Camp of Disease in
Norwalk.
California Catarrh Cure is perform-
. ing its mission in N orwalk. 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
vdvho do not use it grows smaller every
ay. '
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 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 it has d0ne 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,
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
fornia Catarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug
store, South Norwalk. It has given
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
0.0.0. 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

Is there anything more trying than
to lose a train by the merest hairs-
To know that it left ten
minutes before is sufficiently harrowmg
but to be so near and lose it is the
meanest sensation of all.

but Will Be Sent: Back in the Fall
Vl'ashington, D. 0., July 15.--Although
the reported appearance of a few cases
of yellow fever among our troops in
front of Santiago presents a perplexing
problem to the president and his ai-
visers, it is almost certain to result in
‘the temporary removal of practically
all our land forces from the island of
Cuba. as promptly as possible.
In this connection the question of
withholding for the present the expe-
dition now being fitted out against For.
to Rico has been under serious consid-
eration, but up to this time no positive
conclusion, it is thought, has been
reached.
Investigation with respect to the cli-
matic condition at San Juan, however,
has convinced the officials that there
would be practically no danger to our
troops there from yellow fever, which
annually prevails in nearly all parts
of Cuba.
The city of San Juan, which is built
on 'high ground. is said to be excep-
tionally clean for a Spanish town. The
water is said \to be good and, all things
considered, it is not believed that the
present arrangements for the invasion
of the island will be interfered with.
None of the troops now in front of
Santiago, it is understood, will take
part in this expedition, but will be
brought north to remain until October,
when it is expected that the danger of
the Cuban fevers will have passed
away.
Major General Brooke has been or-
dered from Chickamaug‘. to Washing-
ton for consultation regarding the Por-
to Rico expedition.
No more troops will be sent to Cuba
save \two regiments of .immunes from
New Orleans and Galveston.
Surgeon General Sternberg stated
yesterday that 'he had rectived no fur-
ther reports as to the health of the sol-
d‘iersi-n camp at Santiago. He regard-
ed this as. a hopeful sign, taking it for
granted that, if there had been a. con-
siderable extension of yellow fever, the
fact would have been reported to
him.
_ No Fever in W-ashington.
Washington, "‘ July 15.--Dr.
V0,
Blodgood of the Naval Hospital here
said yesterday that there Was not the
slightest possibility that yellow fever
cases would .be brought here for treat-
ment, nor would the ship carrying them
even approach New York or any other
city. Dr. Bloodgood also said that
there, had been no cases of yellow fever
reported on. board any of the Ameri-
can ships. up to 1 the present ltime and
he thought it likelyin view of the ex-
treme precautions taken, that the fever
may be 'avoidedjalltogether in the navy.
Cases appearing amongthe land, forces,
he said, .would doubtless be handled
promptly and effectively]. quarantined.
The standard of the present medical
force and equipments in both the army
and navy he believed made a. spread
of the disease very unlikely, as scien-
tific study. of the fever has resulted in
almost certain cures and preventa-
tives.
SPAIN FEARS WATSON.
Count Light Out and _Harbors Chad-"at
Night.
London, July 15.--According to mail
advices received here from Cadiz, dat-
ed July 3, the old Spanish. broadside
armor clad Vitoria, for some time past
used as a training ship, which was
tOWed back to Cadiz, after starting 03-
tensibly for the Philippine islands with
the fleet of Admiral Camara, is the
only warship in the harbor.
.Mines have been laid to protest the
entrance into the port of Cadiz, and
the coast lights are extinguished along
the whole Spanish coast.
Vessels are excluded from all harbors
of Spain after dark. ‘
Advices received here to-day from
the Canary islands, under date of July
4, say the two Spanish torpedo boats
are still at Las Palm-as. and it is an-
nounced that a. Spanish warship is at
anchor at Teneriffe. ‘
Ships are not allowed to enter the
harbor after dark, and the coast lights
are extinguished. Most of the visitors
have left 'the place. ,
Pillsbury One Game Ahead.
Vienna, July 15.-—By dint of sheer
pluck and unwavering- persistency,
Pillsbury manages to keep the Ameri-
can colors well to the fore among the
world's chess masters competing here
in the international chess tournament.
Slowly but surely he is forging ahead
of his chief rival,‘ Tarrasch, who, in—
vin-cible to all but the young American
himself, cannot, however, be altogether
shaken off. Last night Pillsbury had
increased his lead to a clear game, hav-
ing won from Tschigorin, as predicted.
while Tarrasch could not escape the
unwelcome draw forced on him by

Washington, D. 0., July 15.--Subscrip-
tions to the issue of $200,000,000 war loan
bonds closed at 3 o’clock yesterday. The
tabulation of the applications will not
be completed for some time, but enough
is known to warrant the statement that
the loan is a. great success, in its pop-
ularity, than the mest sanguine had
expected. Assistant Secretary Vander-
lip said that approximately the sub-
scriptions would reach $1,100,000,000, five
and a. half times the amount that had
been asked for.‘
Of these $500,000,000 are in syndicate
bids, two of them for the entire issue;
$700,000,000 are represented bygchecks,

$500 and less, the subscriptions being
accompanied by the cash.
There will be no allotments in ex-
cess of $10,000, and none at all to firms
or corporations. Subscriptions came in
yesterday by telegraph and special de-
livery letters arrived in great numbers.
n'ing contained between 6,000 and 7,000

Washington, July 15.-—The territory
surrendered by General Toral includes
an area. of 11,000 square miles, with
some 150,000 inhabitants, and contains
the cities of Santiago, Guantanamo, Ba-
races. and Sagua de Tanamo. ,
The region is one of the richest in
the island. It has numerous iron, man-

SAMPSON’S TERMS.‘
Notified Shatter That Spanish Surrender
Must Include Mines Removed.
Off Santiago, . July > 15.--Admiral
Sampson formally ,_ notified General
Shaffer that he must not sign any ac-
ceptance of surrender without first con-
sulting him. Admiral. Sampson was
anxious that any-surrender should in-
clude a thorough removal of all mines
in the harbor, and the, evacuation of
all ports which had fired on his ships.
The bombardment of the city of San-
tiago by the fleet,- which it had been
intended to begin yesterday morning,
was again postponed on account of a
message from General Shafter announ-
cing another truce. The Massachusetts
and the Oregon had come up from Gu-
antanamo bay for the purpose of par-
ticipating.
The postponement of the naval as-
sault on Santiago will delay the sail-
ing- of Commodore Watson’s squadron
for the coast of Spain temporarily.

cer, is displaying great activity now,

RAILROADS AND PIERS FOR ' MILES.
Th‘e' Steamship Roumanlan, Wlth 'rng-
arid-Lighters, Salle for Santiago.
' New York, July 15.--The steamship
Rournanian, formerly of the Clyde
line, and recently purchased by the
government, sailed from this. port yes- -
terday for Santiago. She Was accom-
panied by the sea. going tugs Bri-tdh-'
nia and Gladisfen, with six steam light« .
ers.‘ and the expedition will carry 100
skilled laborers and 205 negro labor-
ers in addition to the entire appara~
tus and supplies necessary to build
piers, floats and railroads.
It is understood that the contract for
this extensive work 'has been awarded
to the firm of D. Van Aken Co. of
Washington. The firm will furnishtWo
steam pile drivers, small platform cars.
dummy engines and lightvstee'l rails and
'ties, also lumber and piles."
It is the intention to.~cosnstruct;rail-
roads from the piers into‘vSantiag-o for
the purpose of carrying- the troopsto
the transport ships as soon as the city
is taken.
The propbsed Porto Rican expedition
is to consist of 10,000 of the regular
troops new around Santiago, and the
difficulty of embarking the soldiers and
supplies without the aid of piers, light-
ers, and floats has made it urgent that
the contract awarded to Van Aken' and
company should be pushed forward
with all possible speed.
It is estimated that it will take the
expedition about a. week to reach San-
tiago, and by that time the Uni-ted
States army will be in full possession
of the city.
Colonel Huncker has 'had charge of
the arrangements for the expedition.
which is understood to be the imme-
diate result of'General Miles's first dis-
patches from the front.
WILL REQUIRE BIG FLEET.
Forty-five Steamers Necessary to Take
Spaniards Back to Spain.
Washington, July 15.--It was pointed
out in Washington yesrerday that the
proposition of the Spaniards to adjust
the final terms of surrender by a. com-
mission was no uOVeIty in warfare, and
especially in such cases as this, where
complex considerations are inv'olved.
The proposition to remove the Spanish
: army in the province of Santiago, di-
f vided as it is between several Itowns .re-
: mote from one another, to secure the
, removal of dangerous obstruct-ions

- transportation. of this army, involves so
-many factors that considerable time
in
might very properly be expended in Iad~
: justing them.

POR-TO moo EXPEDITION‘.
Major-(lens. Brooke Ordered from Chicka-
muuga Io Consult About It.
Washington, J'ul'y 15.—Major General
Brooke, commanding the large army of
volunteer United States troops now at
' Chickamauga,‘ has been ordered to re-
port to Washington and is expected
to reach hereto-day. , . p .
It is believed that he has been called
‘to consult as. to‘ the Porto Rican mill-1
t-ary expedition, which it 'is .now pro-
posed shall leave thelUnited States
with-in a short time after the fall of
Santiago. 7 '
The details of the expedition will not
be settled until after the consultation
with General Brooke, but it is believ-
ed that aside from some of the regulars
now in Cuba, the Porto Rican expedi-
tion will not draw upon our troops in
Cuba to any extent, the plan, being to
have our Cuban forces largely return-
ed to the United States for recupera-
tion.
General Wilson’s division, composed
of the brigades of Generals Haines and
Ernst, are under orders for the Port-o
Rico expedition. One brigade is now
at Charleston and the other at Chick-
amauga.
No more troops, it isordered, shall
