My little boy broke out with an itching rash.
I tried three doctors and medical college but
he kept getting worse. There was not one
square inch ofskinon his whole body uncfi‘ected.
He was one mass of sores, and the stench was
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 to dry up. His skin peeled oil? twenty
times, but now he is entirely cured.

the Attack on Manilla.
AGUINALDO ON ——THB WANE
Though the Navy is Ready for the Born-
' bardment of the City the Preparations
of the Army Are as Yet lncom plete
Additional Concerning the
Fight at Mala. e.
Details
Cavlte, Aug. 4, via Hong Kong, Aug.
9.—Now that the mOnitor Monterey has
arrived action against Malnila by both
the navy and army will come quickly.
The ships have been stripping for ac-
tion during the last few days. Nearly
all the boats have been sent ashore and
hauled up at the Cavite navy yard.
The army preparations are incomplete.
The bay has been too rough lately to
land troops. .
It has been blowing a. gale for two
days, making it impossible to commu-
nicate with Camp Dewey. No reports
have been received for the past two
nights. The Third expedition arrived
from San Francisco on Sunday after
a quiet passage. Many men are still
aboard the transports, owing to the
difficulties experienced in making a
landing.
Admiral Dewey said yesterday that
he was waiting for the arrival of the
monitors. He would do nothing until
the Monterey came and perhaps not
until the Monudnock arrived.
then the Monterey arrived to—day
she was received with great rejoicing
aboard the vessels of Admiral Dewey’s
squadron.
Father McKinnon of the First Cali-
fornia regiment had made preparations
to go to Manila to see the archbishop,
to try to persuade him that resistance
was useless. He was to meet a. repre-
sentative of a foreign power outside of
Manila on Tuesday, who was to ac-
company him to the city. The foreign—
er fajled to come. As the chaplain was
riding toward the camp a Spanish shell
burst close behind him and smothered
him with dirt. A fragment of the shell
struck him in the back, but did. not
penetrate his clothing.
Cavite, Manila Bay, Aug. 3, via Hong
Kong, Aug. 9, delayed in transmission.
-—The American field hospital worked
splendidly, under a galling fire, at the.
battle of Malate, and the remarkable
courage and steadiness of all ranks,
regulars and volunteers, caused Gen—
eral Greene officially to thank the
troops. The Spaniards used Mausers
and Remingtcns with brass coated bul-
lets.
The Americans are disgusted with
the conduct of Aguinaldo, the insurgent
leader, 11 hose power is weakening, ow—
ing to the fag :1t the Filipinos are
realizing theé‘l'un 3ubstant1a11ty of his
promises. Two insurgent steamers are
now in Manila bay provisioning, in or.-
der to insure Ag uinaldo s escape if nec-
essary. -"
Loud-011, Aug. 11.-—The afternoon
newspapers comment upon the battle
of Malate as being a repetition of the
now familiar story. The Spaniards,
brave and incompetent, firing wildly,
and attacking too late, and the Ameri-
cans brave, cool and skillful, notwith-
standing that their operations were
conducted in the midst of a tropical
monsoon.” .-

matter.

requests that 'it be fumigated and re-
leased.

A Desolale Place-
. There is nothing to be purchased, and
except for the uneccupied cottages be-
longing to the Montauk' Association,
there are but three residences to be
found for a. distance often miles.
These are known as the First, Second
and Third houses. Amugansett,thi1-
teen miles from here, is the favorite
rendezvous for 11 ould be shoppers and
Amagansett has but one store, a cem-
bination postoffice, druggist and 111111-
gain. counter estabLShment. Withofit
the troopers Morita-1k Point would be
as bleak d’nd desolate as the Cornish
coast in midwinter.
Because of the non- arrival of the ma-
jority of the necessary tents, about 400
of the 700 troops were last night oblig-
ed to roll themselves in blankets and
sleep in the open. Many of those who
trad tent-s were without cots and other
necessaries. They had a tough experi-
ence of it, the second night they spent
out of doors since their arrival hen-1.
The hospital kitchen was finished last
evening and a fire started in one of the
ranges. Another range was set up and
fire was started in it this morning. Six
other ranges are to be set up during
the day. “,

The Bids for Battleships
Washington, Aug. 11. —The bids for
battleships will be opened by Secretary
Long on September 1, as was originally
intended. The board of construction
has had a meeting and decided to al-
low the shipbullders topresent bids in
the hope that proposals will be receiv-
ed for constructing vessels of 18-knot
speed.
This could be done, the experts say,
by amending the specifications so far
as the machinery
would not then be necessary to ask
Congiess for an additional appropria-
tion. The naval engineers favor en-
tire‘ly new Dlans,1\iiich shall call for
ships of greater displacement, 13,500
tons, instead of 11,000 tons displace—
ment; greater speed, 18 instead of 16
knots, and heavier armament, 8 instead
of 5-inch guns.
Russia \Von’t Provoke War.
London, Aug. 11.—Referring to the
situation in China, in the House of
Commons, Sir Charles Dilke said that
Russia was not prepared for war and
would make no move in that direction
until her success was assured. France
and Germany. he said, were closing
the doors of their own spheres of influ-
ence in China and enjoying the benefit
of Great'Britain s in other districts.
It was a case of “heads they win,
tails we lose " Soon, he declared, Chi-
na would become one of the string of
