the after.effects of the disease. He is a we'll
known contractor and builder, business re-
quiring much mental and physical work.
4 year ago his health began to fail, and he
was obliged to discontinue work. That he
lives to-day is almost miracle. He says:
Il was troubled with shortness of breath,
papitation of the heart and a general de-
bility. My back also panied me severely.
Il tried one doctor after another and
numerous remedies suggested by my friends,

The Baptist orphanage at jackson is
fiourishing. The second cottage at the
asylum is nearing completion. When
completed it will be able to accommo-
date twenty children. Superintendent
Foster says he already has forty appli-
cations for places in the new cottage.
He will be able to take twenty of these
forty. There are now twenty children
in the first cottage built. As soon as
means warrant it is the purpose of the
management to build another cottage,
and so on until enough cottages have

Calling GUNS.

TAMPA, Fla, May 29.-The fortifica-
tions at Egmont and Mullet Keys are so
far advanced that danger from an at
tack by some stray Spanish torpedo
boat is no longer apprehended. Cat
ling guns may be used in connection
with the cavalry during the campaign
in Cuba. Major-General Joe Wheeler
in command of the cavalry forces,
strongly advocates their use, believing
they would be of special advantage in
breaking up infantry formation when
a,sed with cavalry. Gatlings sufficient
to arm the cavalry regiments are al

SPANISH FLEET LOCATED.

WASHINGTON, May 30.-The navy de-

(Monday morning) Il dispatch from
Commodore Schley stating that the
Spanish fleet is in the bay of Santiago
de Cuba. and that he has seen and rec

Commodore Schley has with him two
or three vessels besides his command
of seven vessels.
No information is obtainable as to
the Intentions of Commodore Schley.
Whether he will endeavor to force an
entrance to the bay and seek battle
with the Spanish squadron is not known,
but such course at present is not re-
garded as likely. 1t would be the
better, in the opinion of some naval
officials, to keep Cervera and his vessels
safely in the harbor, where they are as
absolutely helpless as they would be at
