CRUS
When our baby boy was three months old,
116 had the milk crust very badly on his head,
so that all the hair came out, and itched so
bad, he made it bleed by scratching it. I got
a cake of CUTICURA ISo AP and a bonx of CUTI-
CUBA (ointment). Iagplied the CUTICURA
and putathin cap on 13 head, and before I
had used half a boa: it was entirely cured, and
his hair commenced to row out nicely.

Gen. Brocke.
Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. 1..——Major
General Miles hourly expects the arri—
val of the transports having on board
Brigadier General Schwan’s division of
six thousand men, and also the Mo-
hawk, with the Fifth regular caval-
ry. .
General Henry’s division, consisting
of 3,400 men, and including 26 pieces of
artillery, has been ordered to march
immediately from Yauco to Ponce in
order to be ready to join the movement
north to San Juan.
The Sixteenth Pennsylvania regiment
was sent this morning toward Juana
Diaz, eight miles north of Ponce, en
route to San Juan, where, it is report-
ed, the-Spaniards will make a stand.
The Sixteenth Pennsylvania regiment
I will be reinforced if necessary.
\Vord has reached here that the Spa-
niards were murdt ring native Porto
Ricans, and indulging in general out-
rages. ‘
The first real resistance is expected
when our troops reach Aibonito, thir-
ty-five miles northeast of here. Aibon-
ito has a thousand feet elevation.
General Miles says he has no inten-
tion of making a. landing of troops at
Cape San Juan, especially as the place
is only a. roadstead,.~ there transports
are liable to suffer from the prevalent
storms. '
The railroad from Ponce to Yauco
is now in the possession of our troops.
General Stone found five torpedoes on
the track. These were destroyed and
the track is uninjured. ,
Our troops found seventeen Span-
iards in the Yauco hospital all of whom
had been wounded in Tuesday’s fight.
‘Two of them have since died.
Proclamations have been issued by.
Yauoo, as a United States city, expres-
sing delight at annexation and the ad-
Vmin-istration of General Miles and of
our troops.
The mayor of Ponce has called upon
all the residents of that place to exer-
cise calmness and circumspection un—
der the new and desirable conditions.
Healso urges forbearance toward con-
quered enemies. Much enthusiasm is
everywhere manifested at the sight of
the Stars and Stripes.

time there waves over it the flag of the
Stars, planted in the name of the gov-
ernment of the United States of Amer-
ica by the major general of the Ameri—
can army, Senor Miles.
Porto Ricans, we are, by the miracu—
lous intervention of the God of the just,
given back to the bosom of our moth-

der of instructions to General Wilson,

Chickamauga, Chattanooga National
Military Camp, Tenn., Aug. 2.——The de-
'pa.rture of General Wade leaves Briga-
dier General B. T. Frank in command
of Camp Thomas, pending the arrival
of GeneralBreckinridge, who has been
assigned to the command. It is under-
stood here that General VVa-de is to
command a provisional detachment of
fifteen regiments from states that have
the least representation at the front.
Men and officers fpm the various reg-
iments at Camp Thomas are in a state
of anxiety, and will continue so until
it is known who will go.
The present indications are that the
next troops to go will be from the Third
Corps. Powerful influences have been
brought to bear late-1y upon the presi-
dent and the war department in behalf
of the First Vermont, Eighth New
York and Third Tennessee, these regi-
ments comprising :the Third brigade,
First division, Third corps, Brigadier
General Leonard commanding. Gener—

Assistant Secretary of Vv'ar Meiklejohn,
Senator Proctor of Vermont, Congress-
man Benton McMillan of Tennessee and
prominent representatives of New
'York have urged the incision of this
brigade in an early expedition to the
front.
The brigade is mustered to its max-
imum, is fully equipped and splendidly
drilled. The states represented have
no very considerable representation at
the front as yet.
Senator Proctor has telegraphed the
First.Vermont that it would assuredly
be included in the very first move-
ments.
The To xas Receives an Ovation.
New York, Aug._ 2.—The United
States battleship Texas. once spoken of
disparagingly as the "hoodoo of the
navy,” but now nicknamed in the ser-
vice “the fighting Texas, ” for the lead-
ing part she took in the naval battle
ending in the destruction cf Cervera’s
fleet, is anchored at the Brooklyn navy
yard, where ‘she is to undergo repairs
and dry docking that will keep her here
about a week. The Texas arrived at
this port early Sunday morning, com-
ing direct from the scene of her naval
triumph at Santiago deCuba, which
she left about a week ago.
tieship made a short stop at the naval
anchorage at TompkinSVille S. ‘I., and
Shortly before noon she proceeded to
the navy yard, and was made fast to
the Cob dock, directly opposite the
cruiser Chicago, where one now lies.
Her trip up the East
through the shipping in the lower bay
was in the nature of a triumphal pro-
man or child who sighted 'her leaden"
colored hull, with the Stars- and Stripes
floating g-ayly from her stern, making a
most beautiful and impressive picture,
who did not cheer the gallant tars who
lined her sides and gazed again at the
familiar sig hts of the harbor, so sharplv
in centrast to the tropical ports lately
visi-ted by the ship. All the shipping
in the river, as w‘ell as the crowds that
lined the shore, and the big bri-,dge-'
joined in celebrating the arrival of the
warship, and from the big Atlantic lin-
ers, tramp steamers, sailing drift and:
coasters, down to the little fussy tugs,
every vessel gave her a_ salute in the-
shape df a long, shrill, regular New
Year’s eve sort of a. blast'from her'
steam siren. ' In the case of the sailing
vessels, the entire crews manned the
sides and cheered and aned their
handsanrd hats as long as the Texas
was in sight.
The morning excursion boat passen-
gers, however, had the best of it, as
they had the satisfaction of an extra.
attraction, without extra ecst, in the
shape of “a. real battleship just back
from taking part in a real battle,” as
one of the crew put it laughingiy yes-
terday morning. The boa-ts going to
Coney Island and Rockaway turned out
of their way to give the passengers a
view of the Texas anchored at Tomp-
kinsv'llle, and the passengers crowded
to the sides in such numbers in order
to get a view that it seemed as if sev-
eral of the boats must turn turtle.
A number of the crew of the Texas
were given shore leave Sunday, but
early yesterday morning all hands got
back to business again and were kept
at work lightening ship.
The Texas is so heavy that‘wit-hout
lightening her there is some danger
. that she might be injured while cross—
ing the side of the dry dock.
In consequence, all of her ammuni—
tion and most of her coal will be taken
out, and with these hundreds of tons
out of théship she will be rapidly float-
ed into the timber dry dock No. 2,
which has been prepared for her rc-
ception.
She expects to enter the dock early
this morning, but Captain Phillips said
yesterday morning that if the work of
lightening her was completed in'ti-me
she would go in last night.
Transports to Porto Rico,
Washington, Aug. 2.—~The quarter-
m-aster’s department has received or-
ders to get ready as soon as possible
the transports Alamo, Leona, Rio
Grande, Concha, Minnewaska. and Man-
itoba, which are to be sent to Newport
News to take General Grant’s division
to Porto Rico.
The Minnewaska was to have taken
the First regiment of New York volun-
teers, -the engineers, to Porto Rico, but
owing to her horse carrying capacity it .
was decided to send her to Newport
News
The engineers will go Thursday on
the Chester. It is thought the Maui-
toba will sail to— night.
Fire Results Fatally.
Chicago, Aug. 2.—Guests of the Ber-
wyn hotel, No. 148 North State street.
were roused from their slumbers at 3*
o’clock yesterday morning to find the
hostelry on fire. So rapidly did the
blaze spread that men and women
found themselves out off from all es—
cape by the stairs.
Three lives were lost .and a number
of others were maimed and bruised by
jumping from high windows to the
pavement. _
Help for the Red Cross.
New York, Aug. 2.—-—A telegraph order
for $1,000 was sent by the Red Cross
society to the agent of the society at
Chick-amauga yesterday 'to meet the ex-
pense of establishing at once a. new
camp hospital for the care of sick and
wounded soldiers. _ 1 .1

Robbed of Its Sentiment. .
A mysterious package arrived at
one of the private schoors in the city '
the other day, It was addressed to
1 Western girl, and besides the ‘card
if a young newspaper man, who has
recently come back fx'om Havana, it
contained a machete, a real Cuban
machete. The knife was 20 inches
long, with a heavy blade, painted
blood red to within an inch of the -
slitting edge. The steel was widened
it the lower end, and bent into a hol-
low handle. The weapon was as
frightful an implement as you would
rare to see, and the girls, of course,
were delighted with it. 1 -
“Can’t you fancy,” said the proud
possessor, “as you look at this rude
knife, how some heroic Cuban work--
nan in the fastness of the Cuban hills
forged this weapon to fight for his
tountry and his home? Can’t you
fancy him beating prayers into the
steel?”
“1 could,” remarked one of the oth-
er girls, “if it weren’t for one thing.”
"What’s that,” asked everybody.
The matter-of—fact girl pointed to a
small and inconspicuous label pasted
to the blade. “Made in Hartford,
001111.,” it read—Washington Post.
Spectacled Cows.
Cows with spectacles are to be seen
on the Russian steppes. The steppes
are covered with snow more than six
months of the year. The cows sub-
sist 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 this
calamity, it occurred to a kind hearted
man to protect the cows’ eyes in the
same way as those of human beings,
and he manufactured smoke colored
spectacles which could be safely worn
by cattle. These spectacles Were a l
great success and are now worn by 1
upward of 40,000 head of cattle, which‘
no longer suffer from snow blindness.

Iced Chocolnt‘o.
Iced chocolate is sometimes served at
hot weather luncheons instead of iced
tea. or coffee. A formula for it is to ‘
make the cocoa in the proportion of a
heaping teaspoonful to each half pint"
of boiling water. This is mixed and
cooked in a double boiler for five min-
utes, and sweetened as it is taken from
the fire. When it is cold, about a half
cup of cream is added. The whole is
then beaten with 2. Dover beater until .
very light. It should b9 served in tall ‘
thin glasses halt tilled With powdered
ice. 1
