One of the leading doctors here treated me. and applied the usual physician’ 5 remedies without benefit. My brother rec- ommended that I try CUTICUBA.

IN SURGEN TS ARE FRIENDLY. i Wealthy Filipinos Anxious for the United I States to Retain the Archipelago. Lon- ! commanded by General don Filipinos Say There Will no No, Trouble from the Insurgents if We De- cide to Hold the Philippines. London, Aug. 24.—It is learned here that the Phivl'ippine‘junrta in London re- ceived a dispatch from Manila yester- day, amnouncing that matters there are rapidly quieting down and that the friction between General Aguinaldo and the Americans is disappearing. . According to the jun'ta’s advices the insurgents for a. time regarded General Merritt and General Anderson as mar- tinets and feared that they would adopt harsh methods, like the Spaniards, to- ' ward the Filipinos, but tlhe insurgents from the first have had the greatest confidence in Admiral Dewey, whom they regard as a. sort of father and the most important American at Manila. The junta is satisfied that all fric- tion will soon disappear and that there will be no trouble from the insurgents if the Americans decide to retain the Philippines. , Accordng to a wealthy Filipino now in London, the Filipinos in Europe are all well todo people. have held aloof from the insurgents, but they now realize that their inter- ests demand action and they are about to form a committee to 0pm negotia- tions with the junta here. They are all in favor of having the archipelago retained by the United States. So strong is their conviction of the desira- bility of this course that they had con- templated approaching the British for- eign office to invite Great Britain to in- tervene and in any event Ito prevent the islands being returned 1to the control of Spain. They decided, however, to await ' American action. , They Tennk the President for Thanks. Washington, D. C., Aug. 24.—The fol- lowing dispatches from Admiral Dewey and General Merritt acknowledging the president’s congratulations on the fall of Manila, have been made public at the White House: To President McKinley, Washington: On behalf of the squadron and my- self I thank you most heartily for the congratulations and thanks you were pleased to express.

Mills, First cavalry, as'su-perintendent of the Mili—‘ tary Academy, is attracting much at- tention among army officers. No officer of such junior rank has ever held this position, and Mills,. who whilt at West Point is a. colonel, will be Senior to the present commandant of cadets, Lieu- tenant Colonel O. L. Hein, who is a captain in Mills’ 5 regiment. He him- self was a candidate for the place, and‘ was backed by what is known in the army as “Sherman influence.” It is ex-- ' pected he will ask to be detached ‘and returned to his troop. _ Mails for Santiago and Porto Rico. . Washington, Aug. 24.—The steamer Vigilancia will sail from New York for Santiago de Cuba to- day with mail for mints in eastern Cuba. Heretofore most of the mail for San— rti'aigo has been sent from Tampa and other southern ports, and there has been more ordess delay due to the ir- regular sailring of steamrs.

G, Aug. 24.—It is ex— pected that the order for murstering out 100,000 men of the volunteer forces will be issued Ito-day. The list of troops to be mustered out is nearly complete, but some changes will‘ no doubt be made before the order is finally signed. This will reduce materially the number of troops in the different camps. _ The Third Corps, which has been Wade, has been ordered from Chickamauga to Huntsville, Ala. retained at Chickam'auga under Gen- eral Boynton. In this connection the following order has been issued by Ad- ju'tan't General Corbin: Brigadier General Henry V. Boynton U. S. volunteers, is hereby assigned to duty at the Chickamauga and Chatta- nooga National Military Park. In all matters pertaining exclusively to the care and protection of uthe park and of its water sheds by camp refuse or otherwise, and in the restoration of the park as the troops may be from time to time withdrawn from any portion of it, he will represent 'the secretary of war and be obeyed accordingly in en— forcing the regulations of the secretary of war for the government of the‘ park. The commanding general of the Uni- ted States forces, Camp George H. Thomas, will, upon the written request of Brigadier General Boynton. andto the extent which may seem reasonable, furnish such details of teamsters and teams as may be necessary to the exe- srrtion of the duties indicated in this order. CORRESPONDENTS NOT WANTED. Reasons for Keeping Representat'ves of American Papers Out of Havana. Havana. Aug. 22, delayed in trans-- mission.-—-The authorities have declined to allow the landing of a number of American correspondents who arrived off the harbor th.~; 1n 1rning from atives of the New York Herald, the New York World, the Chicdgo Record. the New York Evening Post and the Philadelphia Press. English residents have strenuously objected to the government‘s action; and Mr. Jerome, the British consul, ac~ i companied by Captain Stewart Brice. son of ex-United States Senator Brice, called upon General Blanco and urged him to allow the correspondents to land. ’ Genenal Blanco, however, declined to comply with the request on the glound that” their presence in Havana, prior to the arrival of 'the military commis- sioners from the United States, might prejudice the work of the commissiOn- ers while discussing the peace details. His attitude is supported by the opin- ' ion of‘ intelligent Spaniards, for, al— though nothing of a disagreeable na— ture would be expected to follow the presence of the corr‘esno‘ndents'in the city. it would be impossible for theau- thorities, however earnest their wishes, to guarantee the safety of the corre- spondents against the act of same fa— natic. . TO ENFORCE THE PROTOCOL. —._.—. 1. War Depanmet Not Surprised at the New Cuban AtIacks Washington, D. G, Aug. 24.—Tho press reports from Madrid. ostensibly inspired by Spanish authorities, and alleging a continuance of hostilities by e-the Cuban insurgents, create no sur— i prise in Washington. Adjutant Gener- ‘ a1 Corbin said yesterday that the war department had no recent information on the subject, but advices from Cuba have prepared the officer‘s here for this condition. The Madrid dispatch reports Blanco as authorized to a ssume an attitude of offence toward -t. e Cubans. General Corbin says that, should the reports of Cuban hostility prove true, this gov- ernment will take such steps as will preserve the terms of 'the protocol. General Shaffer has reported that his command will shortly be entirely with- drawn from Santiago. Trans-ports are available for taking the First Illinois, the Ninth Massachusetts and Third, Twentieth and Twenty-fourth United States infantry, all that now remain in eastern Cuba, excepting the four immune regiments, and the Eighth Il- linois, destined for garrison duty. .— Commission Meets In Quebec. Quebec, Aug. 24.—All 'the delegates‘ to the international conference, with the excepti n of Sir James IVinter of Newfoundland, are in the city and at- tended the first meeting yesterday, which was of an informal nature. The meeting was held in the chamber of the Quebec Legislative Assembly. The opening of the congress had noth- in gof pageantry about it. The several representatives of Britain and A meric'a gathered in the council chamber, which is to be the seat Of their labors. for many weeks to come, exchanged their credentials, chose Lord Hershell their president, talked for'a few minutes, agreed to adjourn until Thursday mor— ning, and then moved across the hall- way into the legislative assembly room, where an address of welcome was read, by Mayor Paren Satisfactory Customs Returns. Washington, D. 0., Aug. 24.—Tine cus- toms authorities are feeling pretty well satisfied with the outlook for re— turns from Our conquered provinces. S'anrtiago has turned in as high a reve— nue as $17,000 in a single day, and the total customs revenue uvp'rto August 18 had reached $86,000. that will come in from Manila and Porto Rico it is still too early to forecast. Our annexed province of Hawaii will not come with- in our 'tariff lines at all until Congress shall have enacted new legislation. 5'" . ..

Bls Indispositlon Due to Nervous Ex- :- hauslioh Nut to Fever. ' Westport, 001-111., Aug. 24.—Rear 'Ad- miral W. S. Schley, who has been in- disposed at the 'Saugatuck residence of O. R. S. Wortley, his son—in-law, is much improved. Thedistingulished of- deer could not be seen, his physician ’having given strict orders for his pa- rtien't’s closest exclusion. Mrs. Wortley, however, announced , that Admiral Schley passed a comfort.- able night and this morning was so far I him to leave his room and breakfast with the family. Later in the day it is proposed to take the admiral on a. car- riage drive. ' The report :that the patient is suf- fering from a fever contracted at San— tiago is pronounced to be erroneous. Dr. J. G. Gregory, the attending phy- sician, stated this forenoon that no symptoms of fever have been discov- ered. The patient’s pulse is at 80 and the temperarture normal and the only tangible diagnosis of his lndisporsition characterizes it as nervous exhaustion and the reaction necessarily incident upon a sudden relief from the exciting events of the past few months. Admiral Schley proposes to go to Washington tO-day [if possible. He greatly regrets that the was unable to be present at the conference with the president yesterday. ._-— THE' OUTLOOK AT DAWSON ' The Old Famine Talk Bonewed.

Camp \Wkoff, Aug. 24.—There were yesterday 225 cases Of typhoid fever at Monrtauk Point. In the opinion of eminent physicians pure water is indispensable in the, suc- cessful treatment of that disease. In the opinion of other eminent au- thorities the water supply at M-ontauk Point is at best of doubtful purity and even if pure now cannot under condi- fionrs existing at the camp, be relied 'upon to remain pure. l Notwithstanding this grave situation and the warnings of eminent authorities the surgeons in charge refuse to allow the Red Cross Social-y to furnish at its ow'u expense distilling plants that would assure the camp a water supply of un- doubted and continued purity. ' Meanwhile the list of typhoid cases increases. hourly. Besides the many that have, as a result of outside in- fluences been removed to hospitals in New York, in Brooklyn and in Con- necticut, 225 cases remained at Mon- tau'k yesterday. There were but 215 Sunday.
