Our little girl’s humor commenced with a
tiny sore on one nostril, but it kept on Spread-
ing till we thought she would never get it
cured. We tried everything we could get,
but it kept getting larger all the time, till
both nostrils, the upper lip, apart of the lower
lip, and up one side to the eye, were a solid sure.
We thought there was no cure, and that she
would be disfiguredfor life. Finally we tried
CUTICU’RA REMEDIES. We used Cmcnm
MOLVEM‘ and nearly a box of CUTICUBA
(ointment), and in a short time she was en-
tirely well, with no scar or trace of the humor.

MANY TROOPS WILL LEAVE
the Roumania. Dr. Ebert Working
I Energketically. No Dangerous Discom—
fort. President McKinley Deeply Affect-
ed.
Montauk Point, L. 1., Sept. 6.—Thc
arrival of the transport Roumania with
200 sick has overtaxed the capacity 015
the detention hospital and resulted in,
the temporary though not great dis—
comfort of the new patients. The hos-
pital has accommodations for 450 men.
when each man has a cat. and the
tents or wards are not overcrowded.
Other wards are now being construct—
ed, but the progress of the work is so
slow that none of them is ready for
occupation, though the work was be-
gun some time ago. The surgeon-in-
chief was not informed of the number
of sick he would have to takevcare of
and was taken unprepared when the
ambulances began to arrive. -
There were then in the hospital
about 600 men; that is, 150 more than
should have been there. The extra
patients were lying in some of the
wards into which cots had been crow-
ded. There were cots on hand for more
than the Roumania’s sick, but there
was no place to set them up. So there
was nothing for it but to lay mat-
tresses close together on the floors. In
this way it was possible to get all the
men under cover.
Dr. Ebert, surgeon-in-chief, is a man
in whom General Wheeler has a great
deal of confidence, and this morning
he was working with characteristic en-
ergy to make his patients comfortable.
He had a number of cots taken out to
make room for mattrtesses (one cot
takes up nearly as much room as'two
mattresses), and was looking after the
future comfort of the sick in a way
that must have startled the officials
of the transportation and construction
departments. It must not be supposed
that, though 250 men Were lying on the
floor, they were without constant at-
tention and good care. As a matter
of fact they do not have much more to
suffer than if they were lying in cots.
It is not believed that-’a-ny deaths will
result from this alone. The condition.
at any rate, is only temporary, and due
to the carelessness which left Dr. E‘b-
ert in ignorance for many hours of the
tax to be put upon his resources, and
to the leisurely mainer in which work
on the detention hospital has been go—
ing along. , ‘
While the men were being taken
from the Roumania to the hospital.
two died in the ambulances. Their
deaths, however ,are not to be changed
to thenegligence or inefficiency of
anyone ashore. The men were Dorgas
Broomer, private in Company F, 25th
United States infantry, and Albert
Pickworth, private in Company C,
23rd Michigan volunteers.
General Wheeler said yesterday that
President McKinley was deeply affect—
ed by what he saw and heard in the
general hospital durfng his inspect-ion
on Saturday, when he reached the car,
General Wheeler said, he was on the
point of collapse, and when thte train
pulled out he was about to lie down.
General Wheeler said, also, that the
threatened water famine of a few davs
ago was no longer‘a danger. Engineers
are at work to-day sinking the new
wells, and the distilling boat Iris is
in the harbor prepared to meet an em-
ergency.
Colonel Smart is going on with his
investigation into the sanitary condi-
tion of the camp. He is proceeding
with great care, and examining into
every detail that has file promise of
bearing fruit. , ‘
There are 1,340 sick in the general
hospital. The new patients were tak-
cn in from the regimental camps. The
hospital is not crowded. The hdeaths
reported were: Louis Hitzel, private.
Twenty-second United States infantry,
Company E; John Brawner, private.
Tenth United States infantry, Com.-
pany A; Burt Brown, private, Seven~
tecnth United States infantry, Com-
pany A; Dennis Dixon. private, Ninth
cavalry, Troop E; Dantel Dumas, pri-
vatet, Ninth infantry, Company C.
These deaths are all from typhoid or
malarial fever.

REBELS MASS AROUND MANILA
Appears in Re
Trouble.
Manila, Sept. 5.—The insurgent sol-
diers in strong force are holding the
exact position behind the abandoned
American works from which General
Greene displaced them before 'the fall
of Manila. p .
This morning some Tagallos are re-
Aguinaldo, Making
[building a trench in the vicinity of
San Pedro de Malate and Santa Mesa,
which were abandoned last week.
While tthe more intelligent natives
talk‘ annexation and unruly lieutenants
continue to commit depredations with—
in the city, it is clearly the purpose of
Aguinaldo to place himself in the same
position as was occupied before the
American occupation pending the de-
cision of the Paris conference.
Whatever may be the outcome, the
rebel leader will continue to insist up-
on his purpose of a struggle for. com-
plete independence, while protesting his
friendship for the Americans.
A Home For l’nnr Soldiers.
Brooklyn, Sept. 6.—Several patriotic
‘ citizens in Brooklyn have arranged for
a number of soldiers who will return
from Porto Rico, Camp Wlkoff, Chat-
tanooga and other comps without mo-
ney or clothing.
The originators of the movement
are E. Percival Smith of 405 Carlton
avenue, and Dr. Albro Eaton, of 13-1
Lafayette avenue.
They have secured from Percy Wil-
liams, a Brooklyn business man, the ,
use of a six-story building at 558 State
street for the purpose.
They have secured promise of medi-
cal aid from a number of Brooklyn
physicians, and are making efforts to
furnish the building and get together a
stock of provisions and clothing before
the troops begin to arrive after being
mustered out. ~

THE DREYFUS AFFAlR
The Search For A New :Ministor of Wu“.
Paris, Sept; 6.—Intervicws with the
premier, M. Henri Brisson, and the ex—
minister of war, M. Godefroy Cavaig-
nae, who resigned his portfolio on Sat-
urday, on the subject of the political
situation in France as it has been af-
fected by the recent developments in
the Dreyfus case. are printed in the
Echo des Paris. M. Brissoa is report-
ed as having said that all the members
of the ministry are convinced of the
guilt of Captain Dreyfus, but that the
government must consider thte change
that has come over public opinion since
the suicide last week of Lieutenant
Colonel Henry. M. Brisson expressed
the view that it is the duty of the
government to en dthe excitement that
is paralyzing the business interests of
Paris and of the country.
M. Cavaigrac said that it would be a
serious mistake, if not a supreme act
of folly, on the part ofthe government
to persist in its present course, and
that he was not willing to participate
in such a policy. “You will see," said
M. Cavaignac, “in what a condition
the country will be after a. new trial."
The newspapers of Paris point out
that M. Cavaignac’s resignation of the
war portfolio has produced a painful
impression in political circles, which,
while recognizing the fact that the in-
nocence of Captain Dreyfus has not
yet been proved, takes the ground that
a new trial of the charges against the
prisoner has become necessary.
It is said in some generally well in-
fOrmed quarters that the premier, M.
Brisson, will assume the war portfolio,
relinquishing that of the interior, that
he holds in addition to the presidency
of the council, to M. Vallee. In other
equally well informed circles it is said
that General Zurilnden,” who was a
member of the Ribot cabinet, has ac-
cepted the ministry of war.
When the cabinet met yesterday the
minister of justice, M. Ferdinand Sar—
rien, informed his colleagues of the re-
ceipt of Mme. Dreyfus’s request for
the revision of the verdict against her
husband. M. Sarrien promised to give
a statement of the result of his exam-
ination into the matter at a meeting
of the cabinet to be convened after the
minister of war shall have been ap-
pointed. '
Mr G'ads-one’s “Till.
London, Sept. 6.——The will of the late
Right Hon. William E. Gladstone has
been probated. It shows that his per-
sonal estate was valued at $59,506
pounds. His will was .xvritten by him-
self in an ordinary memorandum book.
It is a document of about two "thou-
sand words, and is a remarkable speci-
men of penmanship. The second clause .
Of the'wll'l has reference to the fun—
eral arrangements and sayp:
“Commending myself to the infinite
mercies 0.” God in the incarnate Son as
my only and sufficient hope, I leave
the particulars of my burial to my ex-
ecutors, specifying only that they be
very simple and private, unless there
be conclusive reasons to the contrary.
And I desire to be buried where my
wife may also lie. On no account shall
a Iaudatory inscription be placed Over
me."
After appointing his sons as execu-
tors. the will charges .the future pos-
sessor of Hawarden to remember that,
as the head of the famiK, it will be
his duty to extend good 0 s to other
members thereof according his abil—
ity and their manifest needs and meru
its. The rest of the document leaves
souvenirs to, servants, and bequeaths
to his grandson, William, as heirloom,
all'patents of crown offices held by the
testator and books and prints presen-
ted to him by the queen, letters from
the queen, etc. _ y

ber 29, 1896.
Disbanding the Auxiliary Navy. .
Norfolk, Va., Sept. 6.——The work of
disbanding that part of the auxiliary
navy which is in these waters has

commission yesterday, and the Buc-
caneer sailed from Hampton Roads for
Boston to go out of service. The Am-
erica will go out of commission on
Wednesday, and the Sciendia, the first
of the colliers, it is expected will be
dispensed with this week. These ves-
