" iiwiu SKIN -
. a , ,
My little daughter’s head and face broke -
out in bleeding sores. One of herears was'so
affected we thought it would slough off. Her
suffering was intense, getting no rest unless
under opiates. The physician tried every
known remedy, but instead of getting better,
she got worse. Distracted with her condi-
tion, I was advised .to .try Commons REME-
DIES. Before thefirst week I noticed that the
little sufferer was beginning to get relief, and
in less than two months was entirely cured.

BXPlihlSES TO BE CUT DOWN
Yesterday’s Order Defines the Method of
.Dlsbandment. A Physical Examination
{or Officers and Men. Bide for'l'frans-
portation to Be Asked for. Soldiers
May Retain Arms at: a Low Figure.
Washingto.n._Aug. 23.—A general or-
der establishing the method of muster-
ing out troops was issued Fto-day and
army officers will be designated to. con-
duct the transfer from active service. '
The general order issued this after-
noon, which publishes the instructions
for the muster out of volunteers, con-
tains one feature of special interest in
the provision for a. physical examina-
tion of officers and men. This is impor-
tant in the settlement Of pension claims
arising from war service, and was not
inserted without opposition. It is or-
dered that a thorough examination be
made of all officers and enlisted men
immediately prior to their muster out,
and the reports in each case will be
pose. Arrangements are also made for
the payments of the
troops at the state rendezvous. A pro-
the enlisted men of their arms and no-
one cent for a spoon to $10 for a Spring-
field rifle or a Colt revolver. ‘
The idea. of a physical examination
for the volunteers mustered out is one
which may be extended to the regulars
on the discharge of enlisted men. It
will ‘be recalled that the plans of the
medical corps and of Colonel Ains-
wortxh, chief of the Record and Pension
office of the war department. regards
to this final physical examination, were
outlined in these dispatches last May.
It is a matter which has been kept
steadily in view throughout the war.
The war department proposes to cut
down its transportation expenses. Dur-
ing the war the rate charged by rail—
road companies has been three cents
per mile. Now that the emergency is
over the officials will ask bids for tran-
sportation and will accept no proposal
alt a rate higher than one and one—half
cents. It is expected that the larger
and lower.
An order which has attracted much
attention today is one which estab'-
lishes a division of transportation, that
army, with Colonel F. J. Hecker as
chief, and Colonel Charles Bird as
deputy chief. The order has met wit-h
criticism and protest from the quarter-
maste1:_general. and was ’held up at
onetime on this account. Colonel Bird
son. Colonel Hecker is a wealthy busi-
ness man, an associate of Secretary A1—
ger in lumber interests.
Troops in Cuba to Be- Acclimatized There
will be established at Tampa, although
at present there are not one hundred
soldiers in the city. The site, selected
for the post is Camp Rodgers, where
all the heavy artillery is encamped. It
is a beautiful location, high and with
dry soil at all times, and thg governs
ment has established a pumping sta-
tion and laid pipes throughout the
camp. Two mimenits, of soldiers will
be kept here, it is thought, at all times,
getting them acclimated for service in
Cuba for garrison purposes.
The last of the artillery batteries left
Tampa yesterday, the last of the in-
fantry, the Fifth United States,;hav-
ILng left on Saturday night for Santiago.
The Signal Corps detachment will send
up a balloon this afternoon and photo-
graphs will be taken of Tampa bay
for the use of the war department. A
few men are still here in the hospitals,
and the quartermaster’s department
has at least 2,000 horses and mules, and
500 large army wagons quartered here,
Which will be kept until winter, when
they will in all probability be sent to
Cuba.
Cubans will leave by the hundreds
this week for Cuban ports,'as several
sailing vessels are now taking on mer- 4
chandis:e- and
will also carry passen~
gers. . '

Chattanooga Park; Tenn, Aug. 23.-
Judging from the present indications,
Camp Thomas, the largest military
camp of the Spanish-American war,
‘will soon be a thing of the past. A
number of regiments have been ordered
home, a number of others have been or-
dered to Knoxville, Tenn, and Lexing-
ton, Ky., and now comes an order to
Colonel Wheeler, acting chief quarter-
master, to secure'bids from railroads
to convey all regiment-s remaining at
lthe camp to their respective state capi-
tals. The idea seems to be to get the
regiments to places where they can be
mustered out close to home, the neces-
sity for keeping the army intact being
no longer in evidence. ,
Numerous regiments are now making
of the Week the population of the camp
is expected to be reduced one~half. The
regiments ordered to Knoxville and

Spain Names Commissioners.
Washington, Aug. 23.—The state de-

Thiebaut, secretary of the French—em-
bassy, in charge during the absence
of Ambassador Cambon, who bore a.
notification from the Spanish govern-
ment of the military commissioners for
Cuba and Porto Rico.
Under the peace protocol each gov-
mission within ten days, their meet-
ings to begin within tthirtydays. The
ten days was up Tho—day. They are as
follows:
For Cuba—Major General Gonzales
Parrado. Rear Admiral Pastor y Lan-

Why Hay \Vas Recalled.
London, Aug. 23.-The Manchester
Guardian says: We understand that
United States Ambassador l-Iay’s recall
to Washington, to accept ithe post of
Secretary of state, is due ‘to his special
fitness to carry out a policy in regard
to which negotiations have been pro-
eed-i-ng for some time between Wash—
ington and London, and upon which a
substantial agreement has been reach-
ed. whereby rthe two countries will act
togtther in the far East, or wherever
American and British interests are
identical. .
There is no intention of binding the
nations in alliance. Each is to be free
-to pursue its own destinies in its own
way, but the governments will act to-
gether diplomatically where their com-
mon interests are concerned.
