THE EVENT
G GAZETTE
My wife was in the most horrible condition
of any human being-I, from Eczema. She could
neither sit. down nor lie down, her torture was
so intense. I tried all the doctors that. I could
reach, but she got so that I'firmly believe she
would have died within twelve hours if I had .
not been advised of CUTICURA REMEDIES and
got them. My wife went to sleep in two hours
offer the first application, although fihe had
not slept for seven days, and with two boxes
of CUTICURA (ointment) and one cake of
'CUTICUPA SOAP she was absolutely cured. and
is well and hearty to-day.

Raisingthe Colon.
Santiago de Cuba. Oct. 18.—Naval
Constructor Hobson, who has arrived
here from the wreck of the Spanish
cruiser Cristobal Colon, will leave to-
day for Guantanamo, on business con-
nected with theInfanta Maria Teresa,
which he expects to get off to the Uni-
ted States before the end of the cur-
rent month. _ -
For the last few days he has been
engaged in preparing to raise the Cris-
tobal Colon,'a work which is practi-
cally impossible from the sea, because
of the dangerously heavy ocean swell.
The operations will, therefore, belco‘n-
ducted from the shore.
Lieutenant Hobson hasbuilt a. trol-
ley line out to the ship, a distance of
one hundred and fifty feet, with a sus-
' pension bridge, and the compressed air
pumps are now in position. I
Orr-his return from Guantanamo he
will push his operations vigorously, as
he still feels absolutely certain of rais-
ing the hull uninjured. ,
«Fear of Small Pox at Ithaca.
Ithaca, N. Y., Oct. 18.—The board of
health of Cornell university, of which
' Professor James Law is chairman, has
promulgated an order requiring every
student who is-ill, or becOmes ill, to
report at once to the physical director,
,Dr. Hitchcock, for examination, .that
his ailment may be properly diagnos-
'ed.
This action is taken on account of
the prevalence of small pox in this
county. The village of McLean, Where
the disease is epidemic, is only ten
miles from the university, and is vis-
ited to some extent by students, and
the board is fearful that the disease
may be spread among them.
There are now twenty-five cases 01‘
small pox at McLean.
Upon reporting to Dr. Hitchcock stu-
dents will be taken to the office of the
health officer of the city of Ithaca to
receive a. clean bill of health or the
opposite.

" Health of the Soldiers the Grave Problelfll
The Employment of Cubans. Soothe“ .:
Camps Not to he Occupied Until thd
Fever in the South is Checked by Fronts
,Washington, Oct. 18. ——It is said at‘
1 Ithe war department that nothing has
taken place to change the plans already,
‘ framed for the movement of troops to
Cuba. ,
.It. was not intended that the occupa-
tion of the island should begin immedi-.
ately, except at such towns as Manza- 1
nillo and perhaps Holguin, where im- I
mune regiments couldbe used to ad- 1
vantage.
Colonel Hecker’s investigation into
the situation has been of great value
to the department, disclosing as it has
the views of a thoroughly practical
man based on keen observation.
But Colonel Hecker’s primary object
was to locate camp sites for the occu
pation of the troops, and he is proceed-
ing in exact accordande with his in-
structions.
The conditions that he found, it is. -
said, thoroughly warrant the belief
that the war department will be oblig- I
ed to face the most difficult problems'
that have yet arisen in connection with l
the handling of troops in order to in— l
sure the protection of the health of the 1
soldiers.
It has become evident that the men
must be isolated for some time in their
camps to avoid the danger of infection,
and the department is not quite clear
that any useful purpose will be served
by placing soldiers where their ser-
‘vices cannot be available.
While the wet season has now almost
reached its end in Cuba, it is said that
the yellow fever is more prevalent and
more dangerous in type just now than
at any time during the year.
These conditions, however, will not
continue long, and it is believed that
before November has progressed far it
will be possible to have several divis-
'ions of troops safely camped on Cuban ,
soil.
A proposition that is now under con-
sideration looks to the employment of 1
the Cubans 'as lecal gendarmes, it be-
ing urged that they would be more
serviceable in maintaining order in
the towns than Americansoldiers un- '
acquainted with this Spanish language l
and Cuban customs.
The United States government in this
way, also, would be able by the pay-
ment of small salaries to these men
considerably to relieve the distress that .
exists on the island without. breeding a 1
class of professional paupers or. low-
ering the pride of the Cubans.
Unless General Lee. specifically asks I
to be relieved from {hat duty he is to
command the first expedition, second-
ed by General Greene and General Ar-
nold.
It was said at the war department ]
that,t1oops will not be sent to the
southfirn camps until after frost has

Gen. Brooke to Have Sole Chan, 9 of the
' Government.
Washington, Oct. 18.—Gen. Brooke
has plenary powers in Porto Rico and
will have sole charge of the govern-
ment of the island until some other
arrangement is made.
sible that when the president returns
he may designate a military governor“
Iof the island to act in that capacity
3 until Congress can provide for a terri—
torial civil government.
No instructions have been sent to
General Brooke regarding his duties
. after to-day, when the island formally;
pasSes over to the United States, and
all Spanish authority is withdrawn.
but he is acquainted with the procla-
mations of the president regarding the
management of affairs.
General Brooke, it is understood, in-
tends to return 'to the United States
as soon as the affairs of the island be-
1come more settled, but probably be-
fore that time a. military governor will
be named, as was done at Santiago re-
: cently.
SICK SOLDIERS FROM MANILA.
The Arrival ,of the Transport Pennsyl-
vania.
San Francisco, Oct. 18.—The trans-
port Pennsylvania, which arrived yes-
terday morning from Manila by way
of the Ladrone islands and Honolulu,
brought thirteen sick soldiers from
Manila and sixteen from Honolulu.
Among the latter were Clement At-
kins, James Dunton, Joel Holmes, Wal-
lace Phillips, and H. N. Bullock, all of
the New York volunteers. These men
were at once removed to the division
hospital.
Phillips and Bullock became dement—
ed at Honolulu, and Bullock was so
violent yesterday that he was put in
a straitjacket.
The Pennsylvania brings no news of
importance. She will be fumigated
and dockedIto-day and will soon be in
readiness for further service.
The troops assigned to the transport
Senator were sent on board yesterday
and the vessel will sail for Manila to-
day.
. Oil Shlp Destroyed by Fire.
Margate, England, Oct. 18. —The Brit-
Iish ship Blengfell, Captain Johnston.
from New York on September 19 fox
London, was destroyed by a. Sudden
fire off this place early yesterday morn-
ing.
Nine of her crew, including the cap-
,tain and pilot, perished. The 511in-
- ors were landed at this place and. at
Dover.
The Blengfell was passing here in
'tow, on her way to London at'about
6.30 a. m., and was about four miles
.011? thy coast. Suddenly she was en-
iveloped in flames and smoke poured
from her hatches.
Two lifeboats immediately put off to
her assistance, but before they were
able to reach the burning vessel, her
masts fell and she was burned to-the
water’s edge.
The Blengfell
was an iron vessel.
- built at White Haven in 1876. She reg-
Istered 1,117 tons, hailed from Liverpool
land was owned by J. Edgar & Co. I
The Blengfell had a cargo of naphtha
on board. ‘
AI. Liquor Riotlin Connecticut.
New aven, Conn., Oct. 18.—Secretary
Thrasher, :head of the State Law and
I Order League, left this city yesterday
with a. deputy sheriff for Wallingford,
if possible, the leaders in
the riot at that place where agents of
the league, after ‘raiding a liquor sa-
Icon and arresting selleis and drinkers,
were mobbed, stoned and put in seri-
ous peril of their lives.
The details show that it was one of
1the most serious mobs in the history
of the state.
The mob consisted of about five
hundred persons, including a number
of women. The agents of the league
were hit many times by stones, badly
Icut or bruised, and had a single she:
been fired from the drawn revolvers, a
lvolley would have followed, and loss
of life almost surely resulted.
At the office of the league here it is
said that the leader of the mob was a
soldier in uniform.
The governor of the state may be
appealed to to act in the case.

\Vashington, D. C., Oct. 18.—It was
