-
FOR WAR.
lBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S-The Navy Department has
been rendered more than hundred vessels of va
rious kinds since the Cuban troubles began, but has
not purchased any. Letters arrive every day from
owners of ships, or from officers of companies offer
ing vessels for sale charter, giving the sze speed
capacity, &c. An agent of one of the principal lines
of steamers to-day made an offer of this character TO
the Department, with proposition TO turn over
several vessels owned by the Company and to give
possession at an early day. This led to a runor that
the Government had negotiated for the purchase of
several frst-class steamers, which somewhat in
creased the war excitement.
1t is also worthy of note that almost every mail
brings to the War Department offers from old officers
and soldiers to raise a regiment or brigade for
service in Cuba. Offers of enlistment rare. Gen.
Sheridan, yesterday, in speaking of the ability OF
the United States TO punish Spain, said there would
be no trouble 10 whipping the Spanish if Robson
could only move us to Cuba
Senator Logan is a very emphatic friend of Cuba,
West will not be satisfied with an ordinarily aggres
sye policy, it must be quick. strong and determined.
He does not believe i'll delay and would not accord
a single favor, but would force the same policy on
Spain that she has accorded to us.
Col Mosby called on the President to-day and Of
fered his services with force oflYirginia cavalry
to 90 to Cuba, in case war should be declared.

To cure-take DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery earnestly, TO correct the blood and
system, which are always at fault, also to act
specifically, as it does, upon the diseased
glands and lining membrane Of the nose, and
its communicating chambers. The more | see
of this odious disease, the more positive is my
belief that If we would make treatment
perfectly successful in curing it, we mast use
constitutional treatment to act through the
blood as wellas a soothing and healing local
application. DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
when used warm and applied with DIR. Perces
Nasal Douche, effects cures upon common
sense, rational and scientific principles, by
its mild, soothing and healing properties, to
which the disease gradually yields, when the
system has been put in perfect order by the
use of the Golden Medical Discovery. This is
the only perfectly safe, scientific and success
ful mode of acting upon and healing it.
