WARSHIPS GO TO SEATTLE
The Navy Department Grants Con-
gressman Lewis Request.
The Western Member Threatened 70
Make Trouble Unless the Vessels
Were Sent to the Celebration.

Congressman Lewis of Washington State,
received communication yesterday from
Acting Secretary Roosevelt which inform
ed him that his request TO have war
vessel sent to Seattle had been granted.
The u s. s. Adams, which is now ut Port
Angeles, having arrived there from Homo
lulu, will be ordered to Seattle. She
will arrive there July 2, and on the fol-
lowing day the battleship oregon will ar
rive at the same port.
The people of Seattle inte nd to have
great celebration, which viii begin July 3
and last until July 6 The Oregon
viii take part in the celebration July 3,
and viii then proceed on her course, but
the Adams will remain at Seattle until the
celebration Is over.
When Congressman Lewis applied for
vessel last April the Navy Department as
sured him that one would be sent there
to assist in the celebration. At the re-
quest of Senator Hanna and the Christian
Endeavor Society, the order to send q
ship to Seattle was revoked and the ship
was ordered to Tacoma.
THIS action of the department was re-
sentsd by Congressman Lewis, and after
ne threatened to introduce a resolution
into Congress requesting Congressional
examination into the Navy Department he
obtained not only one ship for all Of the
celebration, but two ships for part Of the

ira muscle into their blades and shot
away again.
Harvard's efforts were painful The
men We're clearly ratified, and, though they
hit their stroke up TO a splashing thirty
eight, they continued to drop rapidly to
the rear. Yale's effort was useless, for
the Ithacans spurted without increasing
the stroke, and when they shot across the
line they were a good two lengths and
half ahead Of Yale, and for fully half
mile further kept up their gait. Yale
crossed the line In rafting good style, the
men not showing very much the effects
of their hard row.

Cuba Lost to Spain.

A prominent lawyer OF Washington who
commands the respect of every me mber of
the local bar yesterday morning received
the following letter from a friend who,
for The past two years, has been a ressie mt
of Cuba.
This gentleman has had exceptional op-
poTtunities to learn of the horrible dee DIS
of the Spaniarns in Cuba, aud as he is a
nan of calm Judgment and not given to
extravagances, his letter may be taken as
q statement OF the conditions as seen by
him. Were his name mentioned in this
column many Washington citizens would
readily recognize It, His name is with
held on the urgent request of his frie nd.
who declares that his life would be worth
little If IL could be traced To him.
The letter is an entirely pc onsi efse and
for that reason parts Of it are omitted
1t is as follows:
Santiago, Cuba, June 20, 1897.
"My Dear Friend: have your letter of
recent date and note what you say about
the feeling in the States in reference TO
Cuban affairs.
THE conditions here are simply beyond
all description. II the people of The United
States could ouiy witness the barbarty 10
which these poor people are continually
subjected, no power on earth could restrain
the brave. true men there from coming
here In numbers sufficient TO relieve them.

and feel that 1t may yet craze me. Not

yet they seem powerless to obtain relief.
The doctor may half-understand the case
OF he may not understand it at all; ten to
one he cannot help it. The regulation
stereotyped methods of treatment so detest-
able to modest women are as a rule abso-
lutely useless. It it not safe to trust to the
advice or medicine of an uueducated nurse
or any incompetent unscientihc person.
But what can a woman do?
If any woman who finds herself asking
this despairing question, will write stating
her case carefully TO Dr.. r. v. Pierce, Of
Buffalo, N. Y, who is skilled, educated
expert in this special class of diseases, he
will send her free of charge sound profes-
