 OF ADVERSE REPORTS
The Condition of Many Of the Mosquito Fleet Is Said to Be Rendered use-
 less For Future Service.

New York. Sept. "A special to The Tribune from Newport News, Va, says;
 It is learned from a trustworthy source that I number of the warships now at anchor in Hampton Roads off the Chamberlain and Hygea hotels will become the objects of unfavorable re- ports by the board Of surveys, which be. gan its work of inspection last week. The condition of not few of the best known vessels Of the mosquito fleet is said to be rendered useless for either the purposes of peace or war until extensive and costly repairs have been made.
 Since coming to Old Point Comfort, Captain Higginson. Captain Taylor, Lieutenant Brunson and Chief Engineer Stivers, comprising the board of survey, have been actively engaged in making a careful examination of ali the vessels of the auxiliary fleet and it is expected they will conclude their work the latter part of the week.
 h more than one-half of the vessels already examined it is said the machin. cry has been found by the inspecting board to be 90 badly damaged that new engines and boilers wiH have to be SUD- piled before they will be in proper con- dition for the purposes in which they were formerly engaged while in mer- chant service. Others 1t is said have sustained serious injuries to their decks and huils, not being strong enough to stand the strain caused by the discharge of the guns with which they are equipped. h addition to this the little warships were severely tried by the rough usage incident to blockade duty in which many of them figured promi- nently before Havana and at other points on the Cuban coast.
 The auxiliary cruiser Dixie, for in- stance, will probably be eagerly sought by the Morgan line of steamers which disposed of four Of its splendid ships to the government. I5 Is not probable. however, that the Dixie will leave the naval service, and 1t is understood that Captain Hieginson. as president of the board Of inspection, will recommend that this ship be retained by the govern ment The Dixie carries ten 6-inch guns, the heav. est armament placed on an auxiliary cruiser, and in fact that she stood the test so well reflects great ered- 1t upon her builder. 9he board made q thorough examination of this ship and found her to be as stanch as when she set sail on her mission Of war.

MUST BE RESPECTED.
Miss Clara Barton win Have to Com.
 ply With the Laws.

Washington, Sept. 9..-Miss Barton probably will be obliged to pay the du. ties and fines imposed by the Spanish officials at Havana upon the cargo of the relief ship Comal if she desires to secure the admission of the supplies to Havana and their distribution. The informa- tion that reached cur goyerAHen5 as 10 the imposition of these charges came from the British consul at Havana, who is charged with the care of the United States interests. After consideration, the officials here have decided that un- til the United States military commis- sion, which is to arrange for the eyacu- ation of tbe island of Cuba, has dis charged duty, the administration of the Spanish laws by the Spanish officials must be respected, and so long as 1t ap- pears that there is nothing unusual or unlawful i'll their action, they must be allowed to conduct the custom house in their own way. Of course, 1t is hoped the officials will not take narrow view of the conditions which Miss Barton is trying to meet, but as already stated, unless further details change the aspect of the case, there will be no interfel
 ence on the part of our government

A more ridiculous method of curing a man who is suffering from nervous exhaus- ton and is threatened with nervous pros- tration could not be well conceived \ man who has oyerworked does not need more work, but less work and more rest. The man who has lost his appetite needs some thing to restore 1t. The man whose nerves are shattered needs something to tone and strengthen them. Get the nerves right and sound, and refreshing sleep will follow. 4 man who sleeps well and eats we'll and digests and assinlilates his food will not remain i'll.
 In cases of this kind Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery goes to bed rock-to first causes. It creates a hearty appetite 1t makes the digestion and assimilation perfect 1t invigorates the liver; it purifes the blood and fills 1t with the life-giving elements of the food. It builds mp new flesh, new muscle and new nerve flores It is an unfailing cure for nervous exhaustion and nervous prostration, and the best of all medicines for overworked fnen and wo. men. An honest druggist won't urge au inferior substitute upon you, thereby in- sulting your intelligence.
 It Is q dealers business to sell you what you ask for-not what he prefers for selfish profits sake tc sell.
 A man or woman who negleets eeustipa- tion suffers from slow poisoning. Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure eonstipa- ton. One little Pelletp is 2 gentle 1axa. tive, and two mild cathartic. All nedi- cine dealers sell them.

Why every workingman should vote

date for county clerk, as well as ev-
ery other nominee on that ticket. is
forcibly shown in the action taken by

Ployes' organization of Deere Il Man
sur company addressed a cOmmunica-
ton to the association asking its
endorsement of Mr.. Norton as q rep
resentative of organized labor, and
the following ringing resolution was
the result:
Whereas, Our fellow mem Der. John

ted for the Office of county clerk, as
has been brought formally to our at

tary of the petition of his fellow-em-

Whereas, He was chosen as such

Whereas, In order 10 maintain ON
