A DOCTORS DIRECTIONS.
They save a daughter
from blindness.

When father writes that yours "is the
best medicine in the world" you can
allow something for seeming extrava-
gance in the statement If you know that
the medicine so praised, cured loved
daughter of disease and restored to her
the eyesight nearly lost. The best med
icine in the world for you is the medicine
that cures you. There can't be anything
better. No medicine can do more than
cure. That is why John S. Goode, of
Orrick, Mo-, writes in these strong terms !:
"Dr. Ayers sarsaparilla Is the best med
icine in the world. My daughter had a
relapse after the measles, due to taking
cold. She was nearly blind, and was obliged
to remain in dark room all the time.
The doctors could give her no relief; one
of them directed me to give her Ayers
Sarsaparilla. Two bottles cured her COM
pletely."
The thousands of testimonials to the
value of DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla repeat
over and over again, in one form or another
the expression: "The doctors gave her
no relief; one of them directed me to
give her DIR. Ayers Sarsaparilla. Two
bottles completely cured her."

Ayers Sarsaparilla as last resort. 1t is

DR.. James K. Hosmer, while recently Wis.

a common experience to have DR.. Ayers
Sarsaparilla prescribed by a physician.
1t is a common experience to see COM
plete cure" follow the use of few bottles
of this great blood purifying medicine.
Because, II is a specific for all forms of
blood disease. If a disease has its origin
in bad or impure blood. DIR. Ayers Sars-
aparila, acting directly on the blood, re-
moving its impurities and giving to II
vitalizing energy, will promptly eradicate
the disease.
The great feature of DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla is the radical cures that result from
its use. Many medicines only suppress
disease-they push the pimples down
under the skin, they paint the complexion
with subtle arsenica1 compounds, but the
disease RACES in the veins like pent-up
fire, and some day breaks out in a vol
canic eruption that eats up the body.
Ayers Sarsaparilla goes to the root It
makes the fountain clean and the waters
are clean. 1t makes the root good and
the fruit is good. It gives Nature the
elements she needs to build up the broken
down constitution--not TO brace ii up with
stimulants or patch 1t up on the surface.

BRINGING IN A PRIZE.
The Marblehead En- Route to K

The Marblehead En- Route to Key
West With a Captured spaniard.
Key West, May Although the
blockade is still being maintained BY
the smaller cruisers, an important
movement is being planned. What
1t is, however, can only be conjectured.
The day has been barren of actual
news.
The cruiser Marblehead is bringing
in the Spanish steamer Argonauta
captured by the gunboat Nashville off
the south coast Of Cuba last Friday.
The ArgOnauta was bound for Ha-
vana and had on board colonel of
the Spanish army, surgeon, six
officers and three nOn-commissioned
officers. The Marblehead will not
reach here until late tonight or early
tomorrow morning.
The auxiliary cruiser Eagle, a trans
formed yacht, was securing along the
southern coast of Cuba near Cienfue-
gos when she sighted the Argonauta
and started in pursuit She was fired
upon from the shore, but continued
the chase and drove the big steamer
along the coast toward the Marblehead
and the Nashville, into which the
Spanish almost ran. They put a
couple Of shots across her bows and
she quickly hove to and surrendered.
The Nashville took the Spanish army
officers en- beard as prisoners Of war
and brought them into Key West.

loyal" meaning in that sense attach
ed to the Spanish fortunes. With this
material on one hand and the insur-
gents on the other, the latter stimu-
lated by the overthrow of the Span
iards at Manila, it is probable that
civil war may rage on the islands for
some time outside of Manila proper.
1t is believed the officials have not
decided what to do with the islands
at the end of the war, but in their
possession the United States will en-
JOY a powerful weapon in enforcing
terms of peace with Spain. Suppos-
ing Porto Rico shall next be seized, it
would seem that Spain will have little
to encourage her in further resistance,
particularly as the fall of Porto Rico
would mean the loss to her of her
ironclad fleet, should it cross the At
lantic.
The Spanish reverses at Manila ser
iously depletes the Spanish navy al a
time when it is most in need of ships.
With the burning of the two cruisers
Reina Christina and the Castillo, Spain
has lost two of her best second-rate
cruisers. The Christina was single

long, with displacement OF 5000 tons.
She had total of p guns, ranging
from the six-inch breech-loader Hon
toria down to the small machine guns
and several torpedo tubes. She car
ried $40 men, The cruiser Castillo was
slightly larger than the Reina Chris
tina, having 3,340 tons displacement.
She has IA large guns, all breech-load-
ing Krupp, and two torpedo tubes.
The Don Juan du Austria, which was
blown, up, was another good craft of
the gunboat type. She was 210 feet
long, LISP tons displacement. had nine
guns and carried 173 men. Aside from
the crippling of the Spanish naval
strength. the burning up and the blow
ing up of the ships specified, entails an
actual money loss running into the
millions.
There is no talk yet of
EUROPEAN INTERVENTION,
hut one of the most beneficial results of
pewey's victory yesterday is that deep
impression has been made upon the Eu-
ropean powers who can now no longer
afford to blind themselves to the fact
that man to man the American navy is
equal to any in the world.
1t is entirely possible that Commodore
Dewey may secure his promotion to the
rank of admiral through the splendid eX-
hibition of pluck, discretion and sailor
qualities he made in yesterdays engage
ment. The naval law. however, does not
permit of promotion except by seniority,
so that it probably would be requisite for
Congress to pass a special resolution such
as was done in the case of Commodore
Melville. to afford him his well earned
promotion.
