I . PTEBRIBLE L * BREAKING 0m CURED BY CUTICURA I was afflicted with a terrible breaking out. I was treated by thevery best physicians, who pronounced it blood poison, but it got worse. I was sufiering untold agony, and finally had to give up work. CUTICURA REMEDIES were suggested, which "I immediately procured. From the first, Iexperienced a soothing relief, notwithstandingmy intense pain. I improved . right along til] at last I was entirely cured, and not a sign on mybodg anywhere indicating that anything had ever been the matter with me. M. B. BASTIEN, 156 W.Hunter st.,Atlanta,Ga.

THE Willi“ CANAL An Important Work Which Will Be Undertaken Soon. CONGRESS SHOULD FAVOR Recent Developments Have Shown the Great Need for This Waterway. liIay Take Seven Years to Finish Its Con- struction, The Government Should Build and Assume Control; Chicago, Aug. 4.-——Lymon E. Cooley, the well known civil engineer, after a York With representatives of the Mari- time Canal Company, owners of the rights and concessions along the pro- posed route of the Nicaragua canal, be— lieves that the government of the ini— ted States will coneiruct the great wa- terway in.preference to letting the contract to private companies or cor- porations. Mr. Cooley says that on this important point the complexion of the Nicaragua canal matter had chang- ed percentibly since last Winter, when he, with a. party of engineers, looked over (be ground of the future enter- prise. On being shown av dispatch from Washington stating that Admiral \Val- ker of the canal commission has receiv- ed a number of reports indicating that than hitherto estimated, Mr. Cooley gave a list of the recent discoveries, which he believes are responsible for Admiral Walker’s opinions. They are as follovvs: Six miles of dredging in :the lower end of Lake Nicaragua. Non-existence of rock in San «Juan river to Toro rapids. Good foundation for immense dam at Ochoa. _ Favorable conditions for embank- ments at San Francisco basin. New site for dam at Tanbor Grands. A Big Saving. According .to the estimate, a saving of several million dollars is represented in these items. The expenses incurred by the gov— ernment in war and the rapidly devel- oping indications that the Nicaraguan canal cannot only be constructed more cheaply than at first imagined, but ought to be constructed by the United States, are combining, he intimates, to assure the waterway connection be- tween the Atlantic and the Pacific with- in a. few' years. “President McKinley,” said Mr. Coc- ley, ”and many of the leading members of Congress now appreciate more than ever before the supreme importance of this canal to our country. Senator Morgan said to me not long ago that the annexation of Hawaii practically clears up the question of immediate ne— cessity of the Nicaraguan canal. It is a question, however, whether or not Congress will be able "to pass the prop- er law or take the proper action at the short session beginning in the fall to enable the work to begin at an early date. "The construction of the waterway will not be a. tremendous undertaking, though it may take seven years to do it. The Maritime Canal Company asks for $11,500,000 from the government to relinquish all of its rights and conces- sions. The company, it is understood, will take $7,000,000 in the stock of anew company that the government might form, and $4,500,000 from the govern- ment to validate its bonds. The com— pany bought out all the concessions of the ~old Nicaragua. association, which is said to have expended something like $6,000,000. The Mardltime Canal Company was then organized and it has spent $2,000,000 in. N icaragua. on the canal undertaking, but had to quit the Work. “The company is perfectly right when it says that no private corporation could be expected to take up the canal project since Congress has put its hand in the matter and when there is a strong likelihood of the government building the ditch itself. * ' “These are some of the hindrances in the way of the early opening of the narrow strip of land between the two great oceans. Again, it is not definitely known that the commission will be ready with its report during the short session of Congress. The report may be submitted and may cause a vast difference of Views as to what course should be pursued. Senator Morgan and all other canal advocates appreci- ate these things, but the manifest broadening of the scope of our national policy of late has impressed everyone so strongly that none can see any ob- stacle large enough to prevent the con- struction of what will be an invalua- ble holding and possession in the United States in time of peace and in time of war.’ The Government Owes $38,000,000. Washington, Aug. 4.—-Assistant Sec- retary Howell of the United States treasury, has made public the total re- ceipts and disbursements of the gov- ernment during the fiscal year ending “June 30, as follows: * The receipts, including Pacific Rail- road items, were $405,321,335. Expendi- tures, including Pacific Railroad items, $443,368,582, leaving a deficit of $38,047,— 247. If We exclude the receipts from Pacific railroads, amounting to $64,751,- 223, and the expenditures on this ac- count of $4,549,368, the accounts would stand as follows: Receipts, $340,570,111; expenditures, $438,819,214; leaving a de- ficit of $98,249,103. To Work in Porto Rico. Jacksonville, Aug. 4.—-—The govern- ment transport Ute, which arriyed a. week ago, left to-day for Porto Rico. She carried, in addition to about 75 me- chanics and nearly 600 colored laborers, about 600,000 feet of lumber to construct pontoons and buildings for u5e by the United States troops. A large supply of all kinds of build- ing material was also included in the cargo. ' The Sick at Santiago.

Washington, D. 0., Aug. 4.—-The war department has at last taken steps to bring to the United States the American troops that are not needed at Santia- o. g‘A dispatch was this morning sent to General Shatter to send at once to Mon- tauk Point, L. I., the cavalry detach- ments of all regiments now at Santiago. The cavalry recruits, horses and equip- ments and all the belongings of these troops are also to be put en route to Montauk. General Shaffer is instructed to re- port the number of horses that belong to each regiment. - Orders were given m the commissary general -to furnish five days’ supply of rations for the troops while on the way to Montauk. _ ‘ This order will bring to ’M‘ontauk Point all the cavalry men under Gen- eral Wheeler and aso all of the Rough Riders. ‘ Special interest attaches to the fact that Colonel Roosevelt is to return to the United States with his men. It will give him a chance to make a fight for the government of New York, and in this event his campaign will be man- aged from Montauk Point. Brigadier General Randall, recently promoted from lieutenant colonel of the Eighth infantry, to-d-ay Was ordered to assume command of the new camp to be established at Montauk Point, L. I. He will be temporarily in command on- ly, until one of the major generals now at Santiago arrives. General Randall is one of the most efficient officers in the army and has just returned from an important mission connected with the relic-f of miners in the Klondike re-‘r gion. He will assume command of the new camp at once. General Shaffer has been directed to use all the transports he can command and to send the troops north as rap- idly as possible. The regular cavalry with Shaffer comprises eight compan- ies each of the First, Third. Sixth, Ninth and Tent-h cavalry, all dismoun- _ fed, and four mounted troops of the Second cavalry. Gen. Wade’s Command. Washington, Aug. 4.—Major General Wade, U. S. volunteers, is, by direc- lion of «the secretary of war, assigned to command of six brigades and will conduct them to Porto Rico. On his arrival there he will report to Major General John R. Brooke, United States army, for duty with the forces under the immediate direction of the major general commanding the army. These-regiments are detached from the corps with which they are now serving for this campaign only, at the termination of which they will be re- turned to their respective corps. They will be accounted for on all returns as on detached service. On completion of this service General Wade will resume, command of the I‘hird Army Corps, by order of the sec- , rotary of war. (Signed) H. C. CORBIN, , Adjutant General. The six brigades will be composed as follows: ' First Rhode Island, First North Car— olina, First New Hampshire, First New Jersey, Second Texas, First Maine, Fourth Missouri, First Alabama, First Vermont, First Vv'est Virginia; First Connecticut, Third Tennessee, Twenty- second New York, First Arkansas, Fif- ty-second Iowa, Third Virginia, First Delaware and First Maryland.
