Hoods Pills are the favorits cathartit
Fighting Yellow Fever.

Eminent medical authorities are Of
the opinion that the South will be prac-
ucally freed from the standing menace
OF yellow fever as soon as American
methods can be brought to bear on the
question OF sanitation in our newly &C.
CURED provinces. Santiago is very
paradise Of filth, and there is not for
one hour any reasonable assurance
that an epidemic may not break out
there. The sacrifice Of the principle
cities and ports Of Cuba through their
publication by fire will be a cheap
and eminently suitable operation, pro-
vided it eventuates in that cleanliness
that comes by fire alone. The i'm
munity Of the South from such
scourge will be secured at most rea-
sonable rate, II the predictions of tina
physicians are fulfilled. They claim
that with Siboney, Santiago, Havana
and a few other points subjected to
such vigorous treatment, there will be
little, If any, difficulty, in controlling,
if not absolutely stamping out, this
dread disease. This is the first time
that yellow fever has been attacked in
its stronghold, and the fact that most
Of the cases are Of en- extremely mild
type is a matter for most decided re-
joicing

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer-"
and young women are so taught.
There is a little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examine
ton; but no mott ger need hesitate to
write freely abou3 her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON; Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
my health became so poor that I
had to leave school. Twas tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. I was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. / was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is firm believer In your
remedies from experience, thoughtper-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as we'll as I
ever was. I have gained flesh and have
good color. l am completely cured Of
irregularity."

ALIEN LAWS.

AA1EGN LA w D.
The alien contract law is shown by
experience to need some amendment; a
measure providing better protection
for seamen is proposed; the rightful
application Of the eight hour law for
the benefit Of labor and of the princi-
pie of arbitration, are suggested for
consideration and commend these
subjects to the careful attention of the
congress.
The several departmental reports
will be laid before you. They give in
great detail the conduct Of the affairs
Of the government during the past
year and discuss many questions upon
which the congress may be called upon
to act. s2,.f9 -

To Attack the LadrOnes.
|pecial Dispatch to THE sun.

Special Dispatch to THE sun.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-Jt became
known, through naval sources, that the
cruiser Charleston, with the troopships
Peking and the three others of the first
military expedition to the Philippines,
had been ordered to stop at the island OF
Guahan, in the Ladrones and dismantle
the Spanish notifications at San Juan de
Guahan, the principal place.
The naval authorities have heretofore
declined to confirm the report that the
Charleston was to stop at Guahan. but
in the understanding that the cruiser
has accomplished her mission there by
this time the policy of secrecy was with
drawn.
1t is said that about 1000 Spanish
troops are on the island. There was no
intention to land the United States
forces from the Peking and the other
transports to engage there. The forts at
St. Juan have batteries OF old smooth
bores, and the Charleston's instructions
were merely to knock these out of posi-
ton and destroy the Notifications, so
that on the arrival of the Monterey, the
latter could coal in the harbor without
molestation from the enemy's guns.
On account OF the stop ut Guahan, the
Navy Department doe. not expect to hear
of the CharIeston's arrival at Manila for
several davs yet. She is probably with
Dewey now, or nearing Manila. The
general belief that she would arrive there
about the 10th is said at the Navy De-
partncnt to be erroneous.

WILMINGTON DELAWARE. SUNDAY. JUNE 26, 1898.

n expedition from Newport News to
reinforce General Shafter was caused by
the delay in coaling and provisioning the
Harvard.
1t was announced early Yesterday
morning that the Harvard would not be
ready to sail until Tuesday, so orders
were sent to Camp Alger to General
Henry to postpone the departure of the
second portion OF General Duflield's di-
vision. Later in the afternoon the War
Department was informed that the Har-
ward would be ready to sail tonight.
Hence orders wele issued to move the
troops at once. They left Camp Alger
Yesterday evening,and would reach New
port News today, and it is expected that
the Harvard will sail this afternoon for
Santiago. As soon as the Yale returns,
having carried the first section of Gen.
eral Duffields division to Cuba, General
Garretson's brigade will go to Newport
News and embark This may be early
next week. The Harvard will also return
to Hampton Roads aud take on board
another force of soldiers. As stated ex.
clusively in these dispatches on Thurs
day, General Miles will go to Cuba, and
will probably leave on the next trip Of
