' FROM BIRTH
Our little daughter had Eczema from birth .
The parts amicted would become terribly mo-
flamed, and water would ooze out like great
beads of perspiration,finally this would dry
up and the skin would-crack and peel-off. She
suffered terribly. Had to put soft mittens on
‘ her hands to keep her from scratching. Two
of our leading physicians did not help her.
After bathing her with Cuucnm SOAP, I
_ applied CUTICURA (ointment) freely, and gave
her Currants Resonvmrr regularly. She 1m-
proued at once and is now never troubled. The
statements I have 313116 are absolutely true
and not exaggerate in any way.

As Soon as the Commission Arranges th

Washington, D. 0., July. 16.--Secre-
tary Alger, at the conclusion of yester-
day’s cabinet‘ meeting, said that it
was the intention to retain, for the time
being, practically our entire force at
Santiago.
. As soon as the commission of Span-
Ish and American officers arrange all
the minor details of the surrender Of
Santiago our troops will be withdrawn
into the high plateaus some miles from
the coast, Where they will be outside
of the feverbelt.
This is all that has been positively
determined upon in regard to the dis-
position of our troops. in Cuba.
Further developments will depend on
the result aef the conference between
General Miles «and General Tom], and
their respective assistants.
1, President, McKinley, Yesterday, in
speaking of the fall of the city of San-
tiago, said:
”I hope for early peace ’now."
The subject of peace was not men-
tioned at the meeting, and it can be
authoritatively stated that the presi—
dent has not‘ received an intimation
from any official or even semi-official
source that Spain desired peace upon
any terms that could be entertained by
the United States.

ommended to Secretary Alger yester-
day morning that the best thing to be
done is to remove our troops at San-
tiago into the mountains.
Orders to this effect have already
been sent’to General Shatter and he
will keep the men out of the fever
districts until it is known just how seri-
ous is the disease. . _
Reports were in circulation at the
war department yesterday morning
that Generals Chaffee and Duffield
were both Sick with the fever. The
officials refused to confirm this rumor.

It is thought that the troops’ will be
kept in the highlands for several days
before orders are issued detaching any
‘ considerable portion of the army for
duty at Porto Rico to bring
home. » .
It is‘understood that the yellow fever
germs develop in about a. week, and it
is thought that the armywil’l be kept

fore it, is formed into a,.,new expe-
dition. The intention of Secretary Al~
:ger is to have the entire force of Gen-
eral Shafte-r stay in safe territory un-
til the disease infected men can be all
located and separated from the others.
Then and then only, it is asserted, will
the department be in a position to form
the Porto Rico expedition. '
This much can be safely said, and
that is, that practically all the artillery
now in Santiago will be taken to San
Juan. General Miles will also have
uvnderhis command at Porto. Rico all
the regulars not affected by the yellow
fever and a number of volunteer regig
men-ts that are free from the dis-
ease.

The balance of this force is to be se-

The-re is now at Tampa. a. strong artil-

batteries and two light. batteries.
Additional orders were issued by the
war department for the two immune

FIRM MEASURES ADOPTED
Peace Negotiations Are Thought to Be in
- Progress. Sagasta Says “Peace but it
Must Be Honorable Peace.” The ,People
at 'Large Favor Pacific Measures. Cuba
Will Be Given Up, but Porto Rico and
Philippines Must Be Retained.
Madrid, July 16.--The Official Gazette
yesterday published a royal decree
temporarily suspending
the Spanish peninsula the rights. of
individuals as guaranteed by the con-
stitution. The decree adds that the
government will render an account to
parliament of the use it may make of
this measure. ‘
,The publication of the decree is gen-
erally accepted here as being convinc-
ing proof that Spain is now ready to
sue for peace, and that negotiations to
that effect are actually in progress.
The government Wishes to have' full
power to suppress any evidences of dis-
content or rebellion whenever theyap-
pear.
The pacific tendency is increasing.
The general public takes a. favorable
view-30f the suggestion that the pow-
ers should attempt the re-est'ablish-
ment of peace. But it is said, contrary
to the reports current, that France has
not taken the initiative.
One minister expressed the conviction
that official overtures for peace will be
made before Sunday and there is rea-
son to believe that France has offered
her services to Spain, and that Spain
has .drawn up conditions for peace that
offer a basis for negotiation.
Premier Saga-eta is quoted as saying
that Spain wants peace, “but it must
be an honorable peace, such as Spain
deserves.” He is also said to have de-
clared: “The army is anxious to re-
sist to the last, but the government
cannot conSen-t to such a useless sac-rii
fice. Had we our fleet the situation
wouldbe very different.” ,
The minister for war, GeneraI.Correa,
is quoted as declaring in an'i‘ntervievv
that he thought peace might be ar-
ranged on the following terms:
The United States and Spain to agree
to let the Cubans decide by a plebiscite
whether they desire independence or
autonomy under the suzerainty of
Spain. ; . Hi’
The two governments .to agree? to
abide by the result of the plebiscite,
. In the event of the Cubans voting for
independence, the United States to al-
low Spain, nine months in which wt!)
withdraw her army gradually anddig-
nifiedly from Cuba. . . . .. .; ..
Continuing, the minister for.war;.re—
marked: ‘.‘We ought to retain Porto
Rico at all'events, in orderto be. al-
ways nvear Cuba, of which .tfhe,;Amemi.-
cans will be able to despoil usjn course

“As to the Philippine islands, it: ~,,is

cupation will be most brief. 'An Official
dispatch announces that the rebel
chiefs and the Americans will not al-
ways agree, which is to Spain’s ad-
vantage.
“The government has formed, a
scheme Which willnot only aSsure, to

INDIVIDUALS GET THE BONDS.
None Left for "Those Who Applied {0
Lots in Excess of $5,000. '
Washington, July 16.--In speaking of
the bond issue Secretary Gage said that
accurate figures could not be made ’up
for several days. The first issue of the
bonds would be made on the 26th of the
present month.
Secretary Gage has also made public
a. statement in which he says: ‘
- “It may now be considered as a set-
tled fact that no allotment of bonds can
be mz‘iI’de to banks, corporations or oth-
er forms of associated capital. The
subscript-ions made by individuals re-
neive preference under the law, and
the aggregate of individual subscripw
tions is far in excess of the total am-
ount of bonds offered. In fact no allot-
ment to individual subscriptions will be
possible where such sibscriptions are,
in excess of $5,000. The bonds will not
begin to draw interest until August 1."

Senator Wray said yesterday that if

tion, and New York state troops could

quired territory, they could not be al-

AFTER. THE SURRENDER
DEWEY AND THE INRURGENTS.
A Compact is Said to Have Been Made
. . With'Aguina‘do.
. London, July 16;-—Mr. S. C. Valdes is
in London as the nominated represent-
ative of the Philippine insurgents un-
der Aguinaldo. Mr. Valdes is a “na-
gal-o” or native of the Philippines, di-
rect descendants of the Japanese, who
were the traders in the islands when
. the Spaniards first made their appear-
ance centuries ago.
Mr. Valdes was born in Batangas,
and Was educated in Hong Kong, Chi-
cago and London. To a representative
of the Associated Press Mr. Valdes
said:
“There is a sea of blood between the
Spaniards and ‘ the 'Philippine islanders,
who have received nothing from the
Spaniards but outrage, injustice and
prejudice. The opportunity of the
Philippines has come. We will be
faithful to the Americans and Will fol-
low their advice.
“We have an agreement with the Am—
ericans, with Admiral Dewey, as fol-
lows:
1. The independence of the Philip—
pines shall be proclaimed.
2. A republic shall be established
with a government designated by Gen-
eral Aguinaldo and approved by Admi-
ral Dewey or General Merritt, as the
case may be. .
3. The government will recognize the
temporary intervention of the Ameri-
can and European commissioners des-
ignated for the present by Admiral
DeWey.
4. The American protectorate shall
be recognized on the same conditions
as arranged for Cuba. '
5. Philippine ports shall be opened
free for the commerce of the world.
6. Precautionary measures shall be
adopted against Chinese immigration,
so as to regulate the“ competition with
the work of the natives. . '
7. The corrup; judicial system at
present existing shall be reformed, in;
trusting at the commencement the ad-
ministration of’justice to competent
European legal officials.
. 8. The complete liberty .Of associa-
tion and of the press shall be declared.
9. There shall be a general religious
toleratio-n, but measures shall be adop—
ted for the abolition and expulsion of
the religious communities, who with an
iron hand have hitherto demoralized
the actual civil administration.
10. Measures conducive to the work-
ing development and prospects of the
natural resources of the country shall
be adopted.
11. The development of the public
wealth shall be facilitated, together
with the opening of roads and rail-
ways. '
12. The existing obstacles to the
forming of commercial enterprises and
investment of foreign capital shall be
suppressed. .
13. The new government will keep
public order and will be obliged. to pre-
vent every act of reprisal against 'the
Spaniards. ‘
14. The Spanish official element shall
be removed. to some other safe and
healthy island, until Opportunity is pre-
sented fer them to return to Spain.
“This, of courSe, applies practically
to all the ~isl-ands. .By the proclama-
tion of the Philippine republic under
this agreement the balance of influence
in the far East is not disturbed, and
the interests of all the civilised world
will be respected and protected."
Mr. Valdes said further: “The Span-
iards wished to be trusted on their
word at the very moment when they
Were violating it. The present Gover-
nor General Augustin in a public proc-
lamation offered peace, and to show his
sincerity granted the islands'a. consult-
ive assembly, but all the members
were to be appointed by him and the
powers of the assembly fixed after the
war with America, if the natives joined
in fighting the‘flAmericans. -
”Yet at that moment Sagast-a states
in the Cortes that no reforms were to
be granted in the Philippines on the
lines neduested by the natives.
“We shall. at last get our reforms,
but they will not come from the hands
of those who created the abuses, but
from the hands of our liberators.”
