My little daughter’ 8 head and face broke
out in bleeding sores. One of her ears was so
aflectcd we thought it would slough off. Her
suffering was intense, getting no rest unless
under opiates. The physician tried every
known remedy, but instead of getting better,
she got worse. Distracted with her condi‘
tion, I was advised to try Curxcum REME-
Dms. Before tkefirst wee].- I noticed that the
little sufferer was beginning to get relief, and
in less than two months was entirely cured.

PEACE RUMORS ARE DENIED
Supporters of the Pretender in England
Are Active and Expect Momen'ous
News Hourly. Coalition Against the
Government is Being Organized. Pence
Movement Losing Ground.
London, July 21.--The English Carl—
ists are most active and are in hourly
expectation of momentous news. The
leader of the organization here says:
“'We are quite ready for active oper-
ations. Moreover there is no doubt the
authorities at Madrid are aware that
a. Carlist rising is imminent and that it
will be successful.
“We are immensely strong in many
parts of Spain and so soon as the tluth
of the cowardly surrender of Santiago
de Cuba becomes generally known our
forces will be greatly increased.
“The foreign enlistment act cur-tails
our activity in England and ever since
the Madrid government began to get
into difficulties we have been shadowed
day and night by spies and detectives.
“However, we have money, which 1s
sorely needed in Spain."
Neither-the officials of the Spanish
embassy, those of the British foreign
office, nor the United States ambassa-
dor, Colonel John Hay, have any news
tending to confirm the report circulat-
ed in the United States that he Span-
ish cabinet has decided to sue for
peace. 0n the other hand, dispatches
received here from,Madrid late yester-
day afternoon make no mention of
such a determination on the part of
the Spanish ministry. The decline in
Spanish fours in Paris and London is
another reason for discrediting the re-
port.
A special dispatch from Madrid says:
"The powers, including Great Brit—
'ajn, are exchanging notes concerning
their attitude in case Commodore Wat-
son comes, and the progress made thus
far is satisfactory to Spain.”
Asking Spain to Sue for Peace.
A dispatch from TVashington re-
ceived at the United States embassy
here, but not from an American source,
says the British ambassador, Sir Jul-
ian Pauncefote, is active in the negotia—
tions.
It is also admitted that several of the
powers are urging Spain to ask for
peace, the main reason being fear that
Commodore YVatson’s appearance will
lead to complications.
Alleged Semi Official Communications.
Paris, July 21.-~The Temps says:
“Dis-patches which we have received
late this afternoon lead us‘ to believe
semi-official communications have been
exchanged between Spain and the Uni-
ted States with the view of sounding
the United States on the terms of
peace.’
The Temps’s Madrid correspondent,
who is also the correspondent of the
London Standard, is unusuallv well in-
formed. It will be noticed that he said
“semi- official" and not “official, ” which
would leave the situation as it has
been for several days, for it is gener-
ally admitted here t-hat certain powers
are already sounding the United States
in behalf of Spain.
: 9.».
Coalition Against the Government.
Madrid, July 21.-~The newspapers
here say that a coalition is being or-
ganized between the different parties
and again-st the government, on ac-
count of the suspension of the consti—
tution.
The peace movementis losing ground
and a newspaper ventures the supposi-
tion that a British squadron would pre-
vent the American squadron from pas-
sing the Straits, but the suggestion is
regarded as improbable.
The minister for war, General Cor—
rea, categorically denies that Captain
General Blanco has resigned. He adds
that there is absolutely no news from
Cuba, “as the Amelie-ans control the
wires and reque to transmit official
diSpatches.”
- General Parreja, the Spanish com-
mander at Guantanamo, refuses to be
included in the “c'apitulation”
tiago de Cuba. According to Spanish
nfilitary law a commander can surren-
der the troops which he personally
commands, but he cannot oblige other
commanders at distant points, even
though under his authority, to follow
suit.
Gen. Garcia Reported Dead.
New York, July 21.-~The Evening
Post has the following special cable—
gram:
Kingston, Jamaica, July 20.--Refu—
gets from Siboney bring a report of the
killing of General Garcia, the insurgent
leader.
Spanish refugees here who are offi-
cially connected with the government,
credit the story.
The refugees make a mystery of the
alleged death of Garcia, saying that
it should not be known in Cuba yet
for reasons of state. He is said to
have been shot. ,
The story receives some credence
from the fact {hat Garcia was not pres-
ent at the formal surrender of Santia-
go. It was reported that he was piqued
at the refusal of Shafter to permit the
Cubans to take possession of the city,
and that he had gone to consult with
General Gomez.
lllllst Wait a \Vhile.
Washington, July 21.--The plans of
the paymaster general for the first
payment of the Santiago troops have
been upset.
Paymasters Were in New York under
orders to proceed to Santiago. They
had drawn on the treasury for $1,000,-
000 and had placed the funds on the
Resolute.
General S-hafter was notified that the
payship was coming south. Before a
start was made he telegraphed that he
thought it inadvisable to pay the troops
at present. He intimated that it would
be demoralizing to put $1,000,000 into
the hands of the 20,000 men at San-tia-
go. Orders to the paymasters were
withdrawn, the funds were deposited in
the' sub- -treasury in New York, and
the paymasters returned to Washing-

Washington, July 21. --The contract
for transporting home the Spanish pri-
soners of Santiago has been awarded to
J. M. Céballos, New York agent for the
Spanish Transatlantic Company
A POWERFUL SQUADRON.
Mann’s Fleet Will Include All the
Battleships and Many Cruisers.
Washington, July '21.--It developed
yesterday that the administration has
a greater purpose in view in dispatch-
ing the eastern squadron to Spain than
to make an attack upon the portscf
that country.
The real object is to impress Europe
with the'ability of the United States to
form a squadron whose strength will
be'such as to compel respect and pre-
vent interference with its plans in re-
gard to the demands to be made upon
Spain as the price of peace.
The squadron will be the strongest
that can be gathered, and will include
all of the battleships a. large number
of protected and auxiliary cruisers and
perhaps the armored cruiser Brooklyn,
although this is not definitely stated.
It will be under orders to first pro- '
ceed to the coast of Spam and destroy
Camara’s fleet, after which it will bom-
bard Spanish ports and harrass Span-
ish commerce, and, if need be, part of
it will proceed to the far East, should
there be any question by a. third gov-
ernment of the disposition the United
States will make of the Philippine is-
lands.
The state department received a dis-
patch yesterday. from‘ ‘the American
consul at Gibraltar announcing that
Spanish shipping at Cadiz is seeking
refuge at Gibraltar, it being feared
that Watson’s squadron will bombar-
the Spanish port.
The third class battleship Numancia,
has gone to Cartagena for repairs,
which will require three months.
TROOPS FOR PORTO RICO.
They Will Begin to Leave Chickamanga
To-day. ‘
. Chickamauga Park, Ga., July 21.--Thc
movements of troops from Camp Tho-
mas for Porto Rico will begin tn-day.
The various commands included in the
first order to moxie are busy packing
up and loading their effects. Railroads
have trains in readiness and have
things so arranged that they can put
the troops through to Newport News
in a. very short time.
The commands which go to-day are

views on the movement of troops or any
other subject.

Llent. Miley Starts to Receive the Sur-

Santiago de Cuba, July 21.--Lieuten-
ant Miley of General Shafter’s staff
left here yesterday with a. troop of the
Second cavalry, mounted, under Cap-
tain Brett, to make the rounds of the
entire military district of Santiago de
Cuba, and for the purpose of receiving
the formal surrender of the Spanish
forces. -
He goes first to San Luis, where
there are about 4,500 of the enemy’s
troops. Lieutenant Miley will then re-
ceive the surrender, in order, of 800
men at Cobre, 1,200 at Catalina, 2,500
at Guantanamo and 3,500 at Baracoa.
A total of 10,000 Spaniards are expected
to yield their arms to this one troop of
American cavalry.
To reach Baracoa Lieutenant Miley
will be compelled to ride straight across
the island to the northern coast, led by
a Cuban guide. He will ride under a
white flag for protection; but General
Toral has sent members of his staff
ahead to notify the post commanders
of the terms of the surrender.
The wound of General Linares is
much more serious than reported. His
left arm has been amputated and to—
night he is in a. very serious condi-
tion.

MU'CH COAL FOP WATSON.
He Will Carry With Him 32,000 Tons of
Fuel for Use 011 His Voyage.
Washington, July 21.—-The navy de-
‘partment has increased the number of
colliers to be attached to'Commodore
Watson’s fleet. Instead of six coal ships
eight are to be sent to Spain. Seven
of these ships are now coaled and rea—
dy at Hampton Roads and the work
of coaling the last vessel was begun
Tuesday. Commodore Bradford, chief
of the burea uof equipment, stated last
night that he expected to receive word
that the eighth ccllier is ready to de-
part. .
This will make a total of 32 000'" tons
of coal that Commodore Watson will
take with him on his cruise. This is
sufficient fuel to supply the ships for
a voyage of many thousand miles and
Will obviate the necessity of our ships
touching at any point to coal. '

Naval Prizes .1 New York.
New York, July 21.--Four large black
hulled steamers, prizes taken during
the first days of the war, are anchored
off Tompkinsville, S. 1., having been
brought north by the American gunboat
Newport.
The vessels are the Spanish passen-
ger liner Buena Ventura, the first ves-
sel to be taken by our warships, cap-
tured off Havana, April 22; the Cata-
lina, captured by the Detroit and New—
port, April 24; the Miguel Jover, taken
by the gunboat Helena the same day,
and the Guido, taken off Havana by
the monitor Terror, the gunboat Ma-
chias and the torpedo boat Foote.
There are about three hundred Span-
lards on board all of the ships, includ-
lng the officers and crews of the four
ships and portions of the crews of oth-
er prizes subsequently captured. ' These
sailors will’ be turned over to the cus~
tody of the French ambassador as they
will be wanted as witnesses.
Smnkeless Powder Now. .
' Washington, July. 21.--The manufact-
ure of cartridges, charged with smoke-
less powder, for the Springfield rifles
in the hands of the volunteers, will be
begun to-day. Several manufacturers
have informed the government to this
effect and. the cartridges will be ship-
ped as rapidly as they are made.
Efforts were made by the war de-
partment ‘to procure smokeless powder
for the Santiago expedition, but with-
out avail. The lack of smokeless pow-
der in the battles before Santiago was
brought home to the army most sor—
rowfully. When the volunteers fired
at the 'enemy the discharge of their
guns was followed by a cloud of smoke
which not only impeded their vision,
but disclosed their position to the Spa-
niards and resulted in fatalities to our
men.
Porto Bicans Illa; Join It,
Halifax, N. 8., July 21.--In view of
the reported disturbance at Mayaguez,
Porto Rico, the statement of Captain
Mat-teson of the brigantine Leo, from
that port, is of interest. The captain
says that the sentiment of the native
population of Porto Rico was entirely
in favor of the United States and
against Spain. The only fortified part
fighting soldiers are on the island.
The captain believes that the natives
will at once join forces with the Ameri-
cans and. that the surrender of the is-
land will be secured with but little
fighting.
