by the heat of the climate, the most
distressing circumstances of the cam
paign was the scarcity of water. OF
the vast catalogue of human ills thirst
is the most intolerable. On this oc-
casion it soon caused the tongue to
swell, extend itself without the lips
and become black, as in a state of
mortification; then the whole frame
became prey to the most excruciat-
ing agonies, till death at length inter-
vened and gave the unhappy sufferer
relief. In this way hundreds resigned
themselves to eternity. A greater
number fell victims to a putrid fever.

The WORLD IS MUNYON'S.
All Great Discoveries Of All Schools Of
Medicine are Brought 10 Munyon's
Laboratory.


Professor Munyon keeps in touch
with medical investigation and expert
ment throughout the world. His sys-
tematic methods have become SO well
known that the greatest discoveries
are now submitted to him for practical
test. Munyon's approval of any new
remedy establishes its character and
insures a fortune for its discoverer.
Munyon believes that there is a cure
for every disease, and that people
should die only from old age or by ac-
cident. Fifty-seven absolute cures are
now included in the Munyon system,
and others are added as experience
demonstrates their efficacy. There is
no guesswork and no theorizing.
Munyon's Dyspepsia Cure is prepared
expressly to cure dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles. Munyon's Rheuma-
tism Cure is a specific for rheumatism,
lumbago and sciatica. Munyon's Kid
neyCure conquers the various and dam
gerous affections of the kidneys. Mum
y3n's Nerve Cure rebuilds the nervous
system. Munyon's Catarrh treatment
tomach. The Munyon remedies work
eparate specific for each disease. For

III.

One of the most vivid accounts of
the suffering and the disease that raw
aged the allies is given by Mantle, a
historian. who published an account of
the siege in London in the year 1772
In the course Of his interesting MARIA
tive he says:
In the acquisition of the Havana
We're combined all the advantages that
could be procured in war 1t was a
military victory of the first magnitude;
it was equal to the greatest naval VIC
tory by its effects on the marine of
the Spaniards who lost on that occa-
sion whole fleet. The vast quantity
Of tobacco and sugar collected at the
Havana on the Spanish monarch's ac-
count sold on the spot, exclusive of
the ships and merchandise sent to and
sold in England, for G7000OO, which
was divided among the conquerors.
Though great part of the provisions

at the great risk of being drifted far
out into the sea. After a few of the
men had been safely disembarked,
ropes were dashed to the RATS, and
those who had thus gained the shore
aided in pulling their companions to
the beach. Such was the address and
caution exercised by Putnam in this
most critical of all conditions that not
man was lost. Colonel Putnam now
pitched his camp and remained several
days within "a miles of the enemy at
Carthagena. All last the storm abated,
and the convoy soon after took them
aboard and carried them to Havana.
These reinforcements put new heart
into the British and cOrrespOndingly
discouraged the Spaniards. The siege
was prosecuted with renewed vigor,
and on Aug. Is, Havana surrendered
not, however, until there had been
week of Very fierce fighting. The Eng
lish fleet attempted to support the siege
of the Moro, but We're roughly received
by the Spaniards and lost 1872 men,
besides being greatly damaged in hull,
mast and rigging, so that they were
forced to abandon the conflict. The
Spaniards, who fought throughout with
great vigor and tenacity, made one
desperate sally, and had it succeeded
the siege would have been abandoned,
but they were beaten back with heavy
loss, and in this action the historians
agreed that a battalion of North Amer
leans bore a prominent part aiding to
drive the first Spanish column to the
water, where $50 men were drowned.
The Moro was subsequently stormed,
and the Spanish commander, who re-
fused to retreat, was killed. BY this
time the Spaniards were evidently dis
/ couraged and the Anglo American
storming party only suffered a loss of
two officers and 80 men. Without
counting the hundreds of the garrison
who endeavored to escape from the
castle by swimming and were for the
most part drowned, the Spaniards lost
$50 men killed outright. Then the bat

hands of the English as much of the
island Of Cuba as extends $50 miles TO

JUMPED OFF MUSSEL ROCK.
Peculiar Freak of Fred Gibson, q Fl
teen-Year-Old Boy

Peculiar Freak of Fred Gibson, a Fif-
teen-Year- Boy.
Fred Gibson, boy Is years of age, VINO
has been an inmate of the Boys and Girls
Aid Society for the past eight months,
went out to the ocean beach on Sunday.
He wandered around all afternoon, and
at night made his bed on the sands. Yes
terday afternoon he walked as far as
MusseI Rock and climbed to the top. He
either fell or leaped into the sea, but was
fortunately observed by a member of the
life-saving crew, who rescued him and
took him 10 the life-sav.ng station, where
he was properly cared for till his clothes
were dry.
AS there were three slight wounds on
his left leg, caused by striking against the
rocks in his fall, he was sent 10 the Re-
ceiving ospital, where they were dressed.
He will be returned 10 the socety's care.
The boy said he stood on the edge of the
rock, and, as he felt ne must Jump into
the sea, be kneeled down and offered up a
prayer. Then he flung himself off the
rock. 1t is thought that he is romancing,
and that he missed his footing.

Sunday afternoon for trip on the sloop
Petrol. When they got near Ell Campo,
instead of casting anchor they TIED to the
stern OF the Juanita. There the young
man climbed into the skiff of the Juanita
for some reason, leaving his sisters in the
sloop. Soon the wind blew SO violently
as to break the soop from her moorings
and blow the skiff far into the bay. The
women became hysterical and screamed
SO that a rescuing party found them aud
brought them ashore. They faiuted many
times before they landed safely ashore,
and declared they would never go bo ating
again.
As soon as the sisters recovered from
their fright sufficiently to answer the
questions put to them concerning their
ulother a rescuing party sta ted in pur-
suit hunting diligently until dusk. They
found no sign of the young man or the
boat. Searching parties patrolled the bay
yesterday without tidings, and the family
was beside itself with grief last night.
TIE sisters who were with The young man
who disappeared refused to make any
statement when seen by reporter.
"You must excuse US" said the elder,
"for we care to say nothing until we are
sure he is lost"
Definite news of young Mordecai's loss
was reported on the water front yester-
day. 1t was learned that the young man
went down at Red Rock a bout NJ
Sunday. According to the story on sthe
water front the young man was last zen
by the crew of the yacht Vixen, at which
time he was trying 10 secure the floating
skiff OF the Juanita. A sudden squall
came down, capszed the boat and it went
to the bottom, taking the owner with it.
When the Vixen got up there was no sign
of either yacht Petrol or the owner. The
skiff was all that was left to show that
there had been tragedy.
Mordecai owned route on the Rep ort
and also one on the Examiner. For years
he had not had a holiday, and had made
all his arrangements TO make round trip
to Alaska. He had bought his ticket and
had it in his pocket when the Petrol went
down.
He was a member of the Corinthian
Yacht Club for over three years. Com
modore Young sent out the launch Nor
wood and another boat last Sunday night,
but no trace of the missing man or the
Yacht could be found. Frank Mordecal
and his sister went over on the Ii A. NJ.
boat to Tiburon yesterday intending to
make a search then selves but at P. NJ.

DIR. WOULSEY'S BIG BILL.
Heirs of the Late DIR. James Williams
Object to It's Payment.

Heirs of the Late DIR. James Williams
Object to It's Payment.
Considerable interest is being taken in
the estate of the late DR.. James Williams,
who died IN this City several months
ago leaving an estate of $3l 0G0 and inde-
finite information touching his heirs
The matter came up in Judge Coffey' s
court yesterday on the presentation of
DR.. Mark HI. Woolsey's bill for $1,000,
which he had charged for medical at
tendance, the services extending over O
period something less than year.
Attorney Boyer. representing DR.. Wool
sey, thought the claim very moderate,
and Dr. w. r. Cluness. formerly of
Sacramento, coincided. DR.. Clunek in
cidentalIy remarked that he had little
bill for $40 for consultation with DIR.
Woolsey in the same case.
Attorney Evans thought the bills were
toe large, and agreed with Attorney
proper course for DR.. Woolsey to pursue
is to bring suit against the estate, and
have the matter passed on by jury.
DR.. Woolsey is the executor of the will
of the decedent. ard it was pointed out
that he naturally did not wish to pass on
the business of his own claim.
Mr. Evans said he represented the wild ow
of DR.. Williams brother; that she and
her Two sons are the only surviving heirs.
1t was in their behalf that he opposed the
aymenf of the big claims prese nted by
the attending physicians.
Further hearing of the case will be had
next week
