My little boy broke out with an itching rash.
’1 tried'three doctors and medical college but
he kept getting worse. There was not one
square inch ofskz'n on. his whole body unafi‘cotcd.
He was one mass of sores, and the stenchwas
frightful. In removing the bandages they
would take the skin With them, and the poor
child’s screams were heart-breaking. After
the second application of CUTICURA (oint-
ment) I saw signs of improvement, and the
sores todry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but now he is entirely cured.

PRESlDENT HAS REPLY
Spain Accepts Our Terms but Asks
Questionable Reservations.
TEXT 18 NOT MADE PUBLIC
Ambassador Cambcn DeliVerod the
Document Late Last Night—“‘38 With
the President Two Hours—Ho Ofliclal
Information “Until After Today '5 Cabi-
net Meeting.
'Washington, Aug. 10.—Ambassador
Gambian, bearing Spain’s reply to the
American terms for the basis of peace
negotiations, went to the White House
at 5.35 yesterday afternoon and remain-
ed with the president and Secretary
Day until after 7 o’clock.
No official information regarding the
character of Spain's reply has yet been
given out at either the White House or
the French embassy. It is known, how-
ever,-that previous to his vis t to the
White House and the formal presenta-
tion of Spain’s reply, Ambassador Cam-
bon told Secretary Day that he was cer-
tain that the reply would be satisfac-
tory to the United States.
While nothing definite is yet known
except by President McKinley and Sec-
ret-arty Day as to the text of Spain’s re-
ply, it is understood by members of the
cabinet that Spain has accepted broad-
ly the terms proposed by the United
States as the basis of peace negotia-
tions, but has submitted lengthy argu-
ments in support of requests for pro-
visions in the protocol to be drawn up
and signed by Secretary Day and Am-
bassador Cambcn which would amount
to substantial chargez; and limitations
in the terms. .
It is understood that the Spanish
government desires to havt this pro-
tocol provide for the time and manner
of evacuation of Cuba by the Spanish
forces, with the pr vision that they
shall carry out their arms, and it is
also understood that a provision in the
protocol is wanted referring the ques-
tion of the Cuban debt to the commis-
sioners. ‘ _
After Ambassador Cambon left the
White House Secretary Day, who re-
mained to dine with the president, said
no statement regarding Spain’s reply
would be made. From this it is infer-
red that the president desires to con-
fer with the cabinet before saying
whether or not the reply is ‘mtisfac-
tory. ,
At yesterday’s cabinet meeting the
general drift of sentiment was toward
standing strictly on tlré‘conditions first
laid down by the United States and re-
quiring a direct answer, accepting or
rejecting without any consideration of
incidental questions which Spain’s re-
ply might raise.
But, on the other hand, there was .be-
lieved to be .a considerable and influ-
entlal element of the administration de~
sirens of a realization of the prospects
of peace, so long as every vital and
essential condition laid down by this
government was accepted, even though.
the Spanish reply sought to dispose of
other incidental points
transaction of this vast magnitude,
So far as the reply itself is concerned,
even the best informed government Ofl—i-
cials had no information, and there
was little but conjecture as to its con-
tents. But there were several points
apparently established beyond ques-
tion. .
First of these svas that the reply was
so framed as to be considered by those
who drafted it an acceptance of all the
conditions laid down by the United
States.
Second, it was established that this
acceptance was a general characteriza—
tion of the document as a whole, and
that in making the acceptance Spain
had presented elaborate views on each
point involved and .on questions which
would naturally arise when the Ameri-
can conditions were carried into exe-
cution.
This raised a question as to whether
‘the reply would be accepted as com-
pletely responsive to the American
terms or as an indirect opening of ne-
gotiations on subordinate points.
If the. points are purely incidental and
formal. strong hope is entertained in
official quarters that peace will bt re-
alized as a result of the present negoti-
ations, but if Spain seeks to impose
important conditions, there is a pro-s-
pect of delay, and possibly a refusal to
accept the reply as responsive. The
latter condition is hardly expected how-
ever, in any quarter;
Paris, Aug. 10.-—A dispatch received
here from Madrid via Bar-ritz, says the
Spanish reply to the United States ex-
presses hope that the American gov-
ernment will not hand Cuba over to the
insurgents but will retain control of the
government of the island in order that
the interests of. Spanish property own—
ers may be respected.
Spain also intimates her preference
for the retention of Porto Rico, surren-
dering any of her Pacific possessions
to the Americans instead.
l The Spanish government is satisfied
with the appointment of a mixed com-
mission to settle the question of the
disposition of the Philippines, and sug-
gests that the meeting of the commis-
sion be held in Paris.« .
Suits Against Bank
,l Springfield, Mass, Aug. 10.—Receiv- ,
ers Bliss [and Hyde of the defunct Bay
"State Beneficiary Association of West—
field and Boston have filed suits against
former officials of the .concern for am-
ounts aggregating $300,000. The suits
arise from the belief of the receivers
that he former directors have failed to
account for amounts aggregating over
$100,000. The receivers allege that at
one time Westfield officers sold rights
of the company to a. Boston clique for
ninety thousand dollars and that later
the rights were sold back to Westfield
parties at $70,000, and in this way, the
receivers claim, the rights of the many
thousands of members were used for
mere speculative purposes.

Washington, Aug. 10.--Plans have

AT MONTAUK CAMP.
There is Need of ‘Great Balte in Prepar
ing for the Army. '
Montauk, L. 1., Aug. 10.—-At present
It is true the Uniited States army au-
thorities were not prepared to take ad-
equate care of the detachment of ‘the
Sixth cava‘ry which arrived _Monday
night. There Were no tents on hand,
and if the Long Island Railroad had
not permitted them to sleep in the half
being put up near the station the two
hundred sick men would have had ,a.
disagreeable and perhaps dangerous ex-
perience.
Another detachment of 325 troops
from the Sixth cavalry arrived here
yesterday. With them were thirty sick,
making the .total number of sick now
in camp thirty-six. None of them is
dangerously ill.
The noon train brought fifty ser-
geants and five officers of the Fifteen
Pennsylvania, U. S. V., Signal Corps.
The tents and equipments for the
troopers have arrived and morning
found the plateau the businest scene
that Montauk has ever known. Car-
penters who arrived during the night
went to work early and befcre noon
nearly all the tents for the Sixth were
up. Reveille sounded at 6 o’clock and
with it the Montauk camp began its ex.
istence. The following temporary or-
der was issued from General Young’s
headquarters at: Third house: Reveille,
6 a..m.; early mess, 7 a. m.; midday
mess, noon; taps, 10.30 p. m.
The main problem, indeed the, prob-
lem upon which everything depends, is
that of transportation. So far as the
railroad is concern-3d. this problem has
already been solved. Since Thursday
two and a half miles of sidings have
been laid and .the railroad is in a posi-
tion to receive at least two hundred
carloads of supplies or or men a day.
Vi’here the difficulty Will come is in un—
loading these cars and transporting the
supplies and men to the camp, which
is several miles away. Grave. doubts
are expressed whether it is possiblt for
the quartermastcr’s department to
solve the problem. At noon to-day
there were 1,500 mules on the ground.
but there were practically no Wagons.
Every carioad that has been delivered
to the Long Island Railroad has been
rushed to this point, and is now on tha-
side tracks, but uni-.1! :o—day not one
step had been taken for the unloading
of these cars and the removal of tents.
blankets, hospital stores, lumber, food.
medical supplies and the thousand and
one things which will be necessary 1111--
less Montauk- camp is to be. the scene.
of a great military tragedy and a great
military caudal.
The arrival of a few hundred cavalry-
mcn yesterday showed how important
adequate preparation will be. These.
men had not been in Cuba, they had
not spent day after day on the firing
line in the blazing sun. and the chilling
night rains. They had been in-camp
within the boundaries of-the United
States under the charge Of officers who
took the best possiblecare to preserve:
the health of their commands. Never-
theless one-third of the ' cavalry'men
who arrived yesterday were practically
helpless. They could not have marched
one mile after they left the trains it
their lives had dependedupon it. They
were lifted out of the cars by Com”-
rades hardly stronger than they, and
lay upon the ground uncovered and
unprotected until the railroad company
'olfered them the use of the restaurant.
Unquestiona-bly when the transports
begin to arrive from Cuba and to un-
load 25,000 men who have been subjected
not only to severe climatic conditions,
“but to the most strenuous test of en-
durance imposed in human experience,
the problem willI he a thousand fold
more serious. The Cuban veterans Will
have spent a week on board crowded
transports. There will be, undoubtedly,
thousands of sick. For these there
should be provided ambulances to
transfer them from the landing place
to the hospitals, hospitals .to shelter
them, doctors and nurses to attend to
them, medicines to cure them, and del-
icacies to tempt their appetites. The
solditrs who are not invalids will need
tents and food and water, and the thou-
sands of horses and mules at the camp
will also need supplies. The first of
the transoorts will, it is expected, ar—
rive on Thursday, and within two
weeks thereafter the war department
states that from fifteen to twenty
transports will steam into Fort Pond
bay and unload their thousands of sol-
diers, both well and it].
Unless the government works faster
than it is working now the experience
at Tampa. will be repeated with the
tragic additional fact, that it will not
be fresh and healthy troops whose lives
will be at the mercy of the war de-
partment, but that it will be a broken
and semi-invalid army which must be
taken care of. ”fifths”.
