Waiting for news is weary work.
Hour by hour the crowds gather, scan
the bulletins, only to feverishly return
for later news. Among the interesting
things that are daily reported in the
columns of the GAZETTE, none are of
more vital importance, none can v

people than the wonderful legular re-

N orwalk. N 0 section: no street of this
city can be found—almost no house—
that tells not the tale of suffering re-

its forms seems so unclean—and it is
unclean—that no person can bear to
exhibit in public the symptoms of the
disease. And yet it was so prevalent
in N orwalk that seven out of every ten
suffered from it and its allied diseases.

But to so suffer is no longer necessary.
Day; by day, after the great distribution

Catarrh Cure was doing in individual
cases in N orwalk. Reports came so fast
that we ceased tofile them. But they
proved that in Norwalk catarrh was
conquered. The true remedy, the log-

means of ensuring cleanliness and
health to the nasal passages, was with-

follow its neglect, catarrh of the inter-
nal organs, agonizing indigestion, acute
tonsilitis, and dread consumption, can

As proof that this disease can be
easily and quickly cured, -note the
following South Norwalk testimony:

New Fields of Conquest.

 

Spain is to Be Compsled to Sue for Peace
Speedlly. All the Battleships Are to Be

Sent to Menace Her Coast. Instruc-

tions Issued to Commodore Brownson°
The Command of the Porto Rico Ex-
peditibn.

Washington, July 18.--Pa.v-i~ng the
way for the army of invasion, the navy
department has initiated measures for
blockad‘ing all of the ports of Porto
Rico.

In accordance with instructions sent
by Secretary Long, three monitors have
left Key West for Porto Rican waters,
where they will take station in front
of San Juan, whose fortifications they
will attack. The monitors are the Pu-
ritan, Ampihitrite and Miantonom-o-h,

Havna.

The arrival of these three vessels will
increase the blockading force in front
of San Juan to six vessels.‘ It is not
intended ‘to keep all or these ships at
that point, however, 'but on the arrival
of the monitors, the other ships will go
to other Porto Rican ports.

There are only eight ports which it
will be necessary to blockade, San Ju-
an, Playa,_Mayag-uez, Agundilla, Are-
cibo, Fajardo. Naguabo and Arroyo. At
the present time the only port declared
in a state of~blockade is San Juan. It
is expected that upon the arrival of the
monitors the presidentwilll proclaim the
blockade of the entire island.

It is apprtciated by the authorities
that Spain will make a. desperate re—
sistance at Porto Rico, provided she
does not sue for peace in the meantime,
and the blockade of the island is a.
warning .to Spain and the world in gen-
eral that this government intends to
take possession of it.-

The authorities do not'intend to keep
the warships waiting long, but as soon
as arrangements can be perfected
troops will be'sent to the island and
the invasion will begin. The declara-
tion and enforcement of the blockade
is simply a. preliminary step.

Another reason why the president and
Secretary Long do not desire the army
of invasion to delay its departure is
the fact that the monitors have but
small coal capacities and frequent coal-
lug will be necessary without a."conve-
uient port to put into when coal is need-
ed. For this reason it is expected that
Rear Admiral Sampson, directly be ar-
rives in Porto Rican waters next week,
will' make arrangements for occupying
a small harbor where-his ships can coal
in safety. In fact, the programme fol-
lowed at Guantanamo will in 3511 prob-
ability be pursued in\Ponto Rico.

The dispatch of the monitors to Porto
Pico water is significant as indicating
the desire of the naval authorities to
rely upentheirheavy guns, especially
as'it has practically been decided to
detach all the battleships from Rear

Admiral Sampson’s command. Besides,

the monitors present a small target,
and will be able to escape the shells
which will be fired against them by the
san Juan gunners. '

Major General J. R. Brooke. who, un-
der General Miles, will command the
expedition to Porto Rico, arrived
Washington on Friday night too late

The Spanish Expedition.

1p to date are not enough, then the war
will be carried into other Spanish ter-
itory and perhaps into Spain itself.
Impontant instructions relatiVe to the
)rganlzwtion of the eastern squadron

Zommander W. H. Brownson, comman-
ler of the auxiliary cruiser Yankee, for
delivery to Commodore Watson, his
:Ommander in chief. These instructions
were considered and approved this af-
ternoon by Secretary Long during a
:onference he had with 'thevn'aval war
board.

The question of increasing the east-
ern squadron has been definitely deter-
mined. Orders will be issued within
the next few days assigning all of the
battleships to the L-astern squadron,
provided Rear Admiral Sampson makes
no ‘objection. Should orders be issued
in accordance with the information of
the official who talked with a reporter,
Commodore Watson will 'have nth-is
disposal these men ‘of war: Battle-
ships Oregon Massachusetts. Iowa, In~
Elana. and Texas, protected cruisers
Newark, and probably New Orleans,
Minneapolis and Columbia, and ,the
auxiliary cruisers Yankee, Yosemite
1nd Dixie.

This will leave armored and protect-
ed cruisers ltO conduct operations
against Porto Rico and to defend the
American coast.

Secretary Long thoroughly appreci-
B'les that no great amount of damage
m be do'nevto Spanish cities by the
American warships, and that the only
result of bombardment will be of a
moral character. designed to influence
the Madrid government to sue for
peace. But the bombardment of forti-

Spanlsh guns and it is deemed desira-
ble to have well protected ships par-
ticipate in the attack.

There can be no question of the effect
of the appearance of such a force on
the Spanish ceast. Admiral Camera,
with only one second class battleship,
the Pelayo, and the first class armored
cruiser the caries V, which may be
ranked as a second class battleship,
beside-s four torpedo boat destroyers,
sldozen torpedo boats and half a. doztn
auxiliary cruisers, will be in a. much
worse plight than was Admiral Cer-

' vera. His forcé'ls so‘vastly inferior to

Commodore Watson‘s command that its.
’tnnihilation would be complete even if
it fought under the guns of the Cadiz
fortifications, from which every eflort
will be made by Commodore Watson to

r THE'CANADIAN COMMISSION. ”1.

 

This Country’s Represent ativen Appointed
by the President.

Washington, July 18. «The president
has appointed the five commissioners
who are to meet an equal number of
representatives chosen by the Dominion
of Canada to adjust if possible all out-
standing causes of difference or friction
between the governments of Canada
and the United States.

The American members of the pro-
posed joint conference are:

Senator Charles W. Fairbanks of 1
Indiana. '
Senator George Gray 'of Delaware.

Representative Nelson Ding-Icy of
Maine, chairman of the ways and
means committee of the House.

John A. K-asson of Iowa. .

J 01111 W. Foster of the District of Co-
lumbia.

T-he commissioners named will be
recognized as, exceptionally qualified for
the delicate task intrusted to them. Of
the five, Senator Fairbanks is perhaps
the only one without a. wide experience
either legislative or diplomatic, in the
field of American relations with Cana-
da... Mr. Gray has been for many years
a. member of (the Senate committee on
foreign relations and has alWays tak-
en an active interest in the settlement
of pending disputes between this coun-
try and its northern neighbor. .Mr.
Dingley, as a New Englander, has been
called on again and again to deal with
the problems growing out of the regu-
lation of trade and, commerce across
the Canadian border ,as well as with
the intricacies of the deep sea. fisher-
ies and international transportation
questions. Mr. Foster’s career as a.
diplomat and as the head of the state
department, has put him in touch with
all the matters in dispute between .the
government at Ottawa and Washing-
ton, while Mr. Kaisson’s functions as
the negotiator of reciprocity treaties
under the Dingley tariff act, have like-
wise brought {him into contact with
many of the controversies to be sub-
mitted to the joint high commission. It
is understood that the commissioners
will meet and organize about August 1.
The Canadian members were selected
by the Dominion government a month
or two ago.

GERMAN PRESS MORE FRIENDLY

 

Official of Foreign Office Declares Ameri-
can Suspicious Are qununded.

Berlin, July 18.;-The recent speech of
the United States ambassador, An-
drew D. White, is gradually having a.
good effect. The tone of the German
press, with the exception of the rabid
anti-American shetts, has distinctly
changed. ‘Many of the newspapers that
have hitherto been unfriendly are now
just the opposite.

Mr. White’s Fourth of July cratlon
has also strengthened his position here.
It is understood that he withdrawal of
some ofitheiGerman warships from Ma-
nila-was due-Ito his pointing out that
the feeling of the Americans at such a
formidable array of German ships in
the harbor was one of suspicion as to
the int'e'nthns of Germany

An official of the foreign ofllce, ex-
piainimg the attitude of the Germ-an
government, said:

“The presence there of our warships
was solely due to our desire to pro-
tect German interests in the Philippine
islands, which are too large for one or
two ships to protect in the event of
things going wrong. as the presence of
ships at various points at the same
time might be necessary. I

 

Ship Waterway from Lake. to Hudson.

PIa-ttsburg, N. Y. July 18. «Govern-
ment engineers and surveyors have ar-
rived at Ch-‘ampiain, Clinlton county, for,
the preliminary survey of the propos-.
ed great ship waterway between the.
great lakes and the Hudson by way-
of the St. Lawrence river and Lake.
Champlain. Appropriations for this
survey have been made by Congress,
and it is thbugfht that the report of the
engineers will be favorable to this
route over either the Erie or Oswego

and a. comparatively shoot canal mile-
age between Lake Champlain and the
St. Lawrence and between Lake Chlam-
plain and the Hudson.

The work now being done by the sur-
veyors consists of estimates on exca-
vations, locks and water supply. The
Champlain route is recommended by

country. It is expected that freight
rates from Buffalo to New York can
be reduced to 25 cents a. ton by this
route.

THE OLIVETTE ARRIVES.
Wounded from Cuba Brought North for
_ Care.

“New York, July 18. «With nearly
three hundred wounded soldiers aboard
her, the hospital ship Olivette arrived
at this port Saturday night. She was
_due to reach here about 2 p. m., but
owing to the foulness of ‘her ‘bottom she
was unable to make much more than
ten knots an 'hour. It had been arrang-
ed chaJt one hundred of themen should
be taken to ‘the marine hospital at Sta-
pleton, Staten Island, and the remain-
der distributed in hospitals in Brook-
lyn. In the 'hope of a3: early arrival
of the Olivette 1a crowd of at least 300
people, many of whom had either rela-

‘ fives or friends aboard, gathered at the

entrance to the Stapleton landing and
although it was midnight before ‘the
soldiers were landed there was no per-
ceptible decrease in the crowd.

At the quarantine station Dr, ”Dot'y,
the health officer, was prepared to
board the Olivette immediattely she
came to anchor. While waiting for the
hospital Ship he stated that it was his
purpose if there were any cases of in-
fections diseases aboard to remove the
men so afflicted to Swmburne island.
As it happened, however, It‘here were
no contagious cases to deal with.

The scene that met the eye on board
the ship was pathetic indeed. The men
were clad in all sorts ofclothing, some
of it improvised, There was hardly
one who was fortunate enough to pos-
sess a. whole uniform. They \had all
thrown their kits away While march-
ing under the tropical sun of Cuba, and
had been unable to replenish them.
There were several men who were clad
only in undercl-o-thes, While there were
others who were obliged to cover them-
selves with blankets. There was not
one who was not bandaged either in
limb or body. Lots of them were una-
ble to stand and were lying upon mat-
tresses laid on the deck. Fully a. third
of the men had been wounded in the
arm. The worst cases were to be found
in the berth rooms and 'here in many
cases the sight was touching. There
were soldiers stretched in bunks whosa
bodies were almost wholly swathed in
bandages, and who rt was obvious, were
still suffering great agony from their
wounds. Among the worst instances
was Edward Marshall, the New York
Journal correspbndent, who was shot
in the stomach and in the groin. His
brother, I. D. Marshall, was at quaran-
tine to meet him and when he was tak-
en -to the state room on the upper deck
where his brother was lying the woun-

ded man fainted twice from the ex-,

citement of the meeting. He will be
removed to his home and the surgeon
in whose care he was, said that he
thought Mr. Marshall would recover.

What we acquire easily we generally
part with readily; what costs us physi~

on to tenaciously. No one is better
authority on ‘this question than our
public school teachers. Many a time
it must have puzzled them what to do

to get nowledge into their heads is
the difficulty,- but once, in, if they exa

“A slight urinary trouble accompan-
ied by backache attacked me from the
result of a cold which I caught at an
entertainment some years ago. It hung
on for a few days and I looked around
for some medicinal preparation which
would remove it. After reading quite
a few testimonials about panaceas and
cure alls for the kidneys, I selected
Doan’s Kidney Pills. It did not re-
quire a box to remove all the difficulty-
I have heard in South N orwalk of over
a score of people who used this remedy

and obtained the same result as 1 have.”

sumac PLACE or PATRICK HENRY;

Not in Richmond. but in Charlotte. Where
a. He Lived—One Line on His Tomb.
Every now and then we see in some
newspaper the query, “Where is Pat-
rick Henry buried?" and tourists in
Richmond constantly ask ‘to be shown
his grave, with the mistaken idea. that
it is in that city, where much of his
public ”career was passed.- Few peo-
ple, comparatively, know that the man
who acquired the title of "The tongue
of the Revolution" lies in 91 quiet
grave on file estate in Charlotte
county where he formerly lived. Over
him is a. marble slab inscribed with the
one line: “His 'F-a'me His“ Best Epi-
The estate lies on the Staunton
River, thirty-eight miles from the town
of Lynchbur'g, near the border line

 

-wbich separates Charlotte and Camp-

bell oounties. It derived its name 0!
Red Hill from the peculiar color of
the soil in that vicinity. When Pat-
rick Henry bought the place it com»-
priaed about 3, 500 acres. The land is

,rich—‘there was a saying in the neigh—

borhood that poor land and Henry
could never be mentioned together-
corn grows there as high as a. man on-
horseback; there is a general air of
smiling fields and abundant prosperity.
Its situation in early times was very
remote. Neighbors: were few, one of
the nearest being the celebrated John
Randolph of Roanoke, who lived in his
chosen solitude fifteen miles away.
Red Hill is now owned by Henry’s
grandson, William Wm Henry, a. cle'V-

Carlyle Deferred to His Wife.
Some interesting anecdotes of Can-
lyle are contributed to a. contemporary

by a. lady who once stayed in the same

house with Mrs. Carlyle. The writer
says: “Mr. Carlyle was with his rela-
tives in Scotland. Letters came from
him every day, and they were read
with eagerness. One of those letters

contained 'a.‘ small pattern of tweed.

cloth, which she (Mrs. Carlyle)
showed me, saying, ‘He wants my
opinion on this, and to know whether
I advise him -to have a. suit made of
it.’ Generally, she said, such matters
were entirely settled by her; so much
so, that when the tai-lor’s man came
to try on a. frock coat, he always
asked for her decision. Turning to her
he would say, ‘Slrould you like a. vel-
vet cplla‘r madam32’ ”
