cold developed, see the profuse watery
expectoration and the watery discharge
from the nose, not one of them would
ever forget what the first symptoms OF
q cold were. The scholar should then
be given Chamberlaip's cough remedy

importuned the agent TO protect his

the same effect upon the latter class

The Gillian Insurxent. Say lte Hns Taken
Sides Against Them.

SAN Francisco. Aug s.-The officers OF tho
Charleston differ somewhat from their breth-
rem Of tho Pensacola in their statements OF the
standing OF Min ster Egan among the Chilli
ans. Tho Charleston was in the insurgents
territory long enough to make sure that the
Congress marty leaders charge Minister Fgan
with being an opposition sympathzer Their
allegations uro that Egan has dopar ed consid-
erably from tho neutrality line. The insur-
gents charge EGan with conniving at sending
despntches crediting the Gillian Government
with making progress toward the subsection
OF the Congress party. They say that Minister
Exams ron has heavy interest in Govern
ment contract for building railroad into the
mountains to tap nome extremely rich mines
discovered some time ago and he wants the
war stopped MS soon us possible. This is tho
state Of Affairs according TO the insurgents
views. and they Slain to have positive infor-
nation that Balmacedas relations with FGan
were such that he was enabled to find means
of Offering this Government $4.C00.OO0 In gold
for the cruiser Baltimore.
Tho Baltimore il conceded to he the best
ship In the American navy. aud with her Bal
mnceda could wipe out the insurgent fleet In
short order and retake the nitrate ports with
out which the Congress party would he de-
prived OF the slncws Of war; which now amount
TO over 81 .OG0. COO per month. 1t Is needless to
say tho offer was refused. although the Gov
eminent would have made large profit on
tho sale.
