FROM . BIRTH , .
Our little daughter had Eczema from birth.
The parts afllicted would become terribly in-
flamed,and water would ooze out like great
' beads of perspiration, finally this would dry
up and theskin would crack and peel off. She
suffered terribly. Had to put soft mittens on
her hands to keep her from scratching. Two
of our leading physicians did not help her.
After bathing her with CUTICURA Soar, I
applied Corleone. (ointment) freely, and gave
her Curicuna Rnsonvnx'r regularly. She im- .
proved at once and is now never troubled. The
,ptatements I have made are absolutely true
and not exaggerated in any way.

by night as well as by day with per- ,

The problem of getting water was
solved more than a week ago, but not
until to-day have the plans of the well
diggers for supplying the camps been
carried out. The erection last night
of a large tank, big enough at the
bottom for four horses to find ample
stable room in, and having a capacity
of 25,000 gall-011's, on the top. of Rocky

the water up a steep incline for a. dis-
tance of half a. mile limto .t‘he tank,
which is so high above the level. of the
camps as to furnish ample pressure for
the three miles of small pipes which
form the distributing system.
The well from which the water is
drawn furnishes only 200,000 gallons
per day, and not until the other wells
now digging in the vicinity are ready
can the full supply be obtained.
The Seneca reached here from Santi-
ago soon after midnight and the Mobile
arrived a few hours later.
the Seneca. were 400 members of the'
Fourth United States infantry. Dr. Ma-
gruder visited .the Seneca. soon after
daybreak andwas pleased to find that
there was no illness on board, except a
few cases of malarial fever. ,
He gave permission for the soldier '
to land, and {the debark-ation began at
8 o’clock. Three hours later all the
rtroops were ashore and noon found
them established in their camp, which
was in readiness for them.‘ ‘
The ferryboat Nevada. also arrived
here with 250 horses for the use of the
sanitary department on board. One
hundred and Itwent’y-five wagons for
similar usecame by train.
So many patients rhave already gone
into the hospitals that more nurses are
needed and next week twenty-five sis-
ters of charity who have volunteered
to come will be in charge of many of
flhe fever wards. Already thirty fe-
male nurses furnished by the Red Cross
society have been placed in the gen-
eral hospital.
‘S'ome fifty more nurses are neces-
sary to equip the hospitals, and' the 100
asked for by the Red Cross Society Will
arrive within a week.

Among the many plans for the com-
fort and convenience of the soldiers,
conceived and set on foot by General
Young, is that of establishing a. bank
where checks can be cashed, and the
difficulty the soldiers encounter in pro-
l curing money will be reduced to a min-
imum. The war department has ap-
proved the plan and Ithe bank will be
established within a few days. An as-
sistant army paymaster will be in
charge, and any check properly drawn
up and endorsed, when presented by a
properly identified soldier,” will
leash-ed. The army pay rolls will be
used as a book of reference to guard
against frauds. _ .
The hospital reports this morning
showed that 'there were 480 soldiers in

REIMBURSING THE STATES.
Secretary Gage Lays Down Rules for Pay-
ing Their War Expenses. p ,
Wéshington, Aug. 20.—Secretary Gag
has made the following rules for the
reimbursement of the governors ‘of
states and territories for war expenses:
Accounts or claims for reimburse-
ment, with vouchers for all expendit-
ures made, must be referred to the au-
ditor for the war department for inves-
tigation. . '
Such accounts of claims are to be
settled upon proper vouchers passed
upon by the auditor of the war depart-
ment and the comptroller of. the treas-
ury.
Original itemized bills must be furn-
ished in all cases where it is practica-
ble to do so. In cases where they are
omitted, satisfactory reasons must be
given for flheir emission. The vouchers
given by the creditors of the states
and territories pmutt accompany the
claims. No payment will be made di-
rectly to a creditor of a state'or terri-
tory. |
The certificate in support of (War)!
account, voucher, or claim must be
made in the form prescribed by the
comptroller of the treasury and signed
by the governor.
The transpontation to be reimbursed
as reasonable costs incurred and paid
by the governor of any state or terri-
, tory in aiding the United States raise
the volunteer army is only the trans-
portation of men of his state or terri-
tory who were afterward accepted into
the volunteer army from the place of
their enrollment Ito the place of their
acceptance by the musterlng officer.
No reimbursements can be made for
i any costs incurred on account of men
who were not afterward accept-ed in the
volunteer army.
No interest can be refunded by the
United States in case where the money
to pay the reasonable" expenses incurred
in aiding {the United Statesto raise the
volunteer army has-been or may here-
- after be borrowed. .
The rules and regulations for the set-
tlement of claims under the act of July
27, 1861; may be taken as a guide so far
as applicable in the settlement of the
claims under. the act of July 8, 1898.

.DISBANDING OF REGIMENTS.
Several Regiments Ordered Home to Be
Discharged.
‘ Washington, Aug. 20.-—Preparatinons
are being made rapidly for the muster-
ing out of from 75,000 to 100,000 men of
rt‘he volunteer army. The 'list of regi—
ment; whose services are to be dis-
pensed with will probably not be made
up for about a. week, but the authori-
ties have already decided on the mus-
tering out of several organizations,
and these are being ordered to proceed
from their present stations at the front
or in southern camps to camps situated
in their own states. The administra-
tion is thus observing its policy to
muster out rthe volunteers at points as
near as possible to their homes.
-, Meanwhile the troops will have the
benefit of a change of— climate and will
become recuperated in health.
An order was issued last night direct-
ing the Second New York volunteers to
proceed from camp at Fernandina, Fla,
to Troy, N. Y., where it will probably
be mustered out.
. It was the intention to have this
regiment go .‘to Huntsville, Ala, for
the present, but through the influence
of Senator Murphy and others the or-
der was changed so as to send it into
campat Troy.
0rd3rs were sen-t from the war de-
partment yesterday changing the sta-
t-ion of the First Illinois and the First
Maine volunteers from C'huickamauga
to Springfield, Ill, and Augusta, Me,
respectively, where they will be dis—
banded. ‘
.An order was also sent directing the
Fifty-second Iowa regiment to Des

jor General Shafter arrives at Monvtauk
Point, L. 1., next week, he will relieve
