What ScrOfula Is.

Scrofula is disease as old as antiquity.
1t has been handed down for gene
rations and is the same to-day as in
early times. It is emphatically a
disease of the blood, and the only
way to cure it is by purifying the
blood, That is just what Hoods
Sarsaparilla does in every case
where it is given q faithful trial. 1t
eradicates all impurities from the blood
and cures the sores, boils, pimples,
and all forms of skin disease due to
scrofula taintsi the blood. Hoods
Sarsaparilla has won the grateful
praise of vast numbers Of people
by its grand and complete cures. Don't
ALLOW scrofula to develop in your
blood. Cure it at once by taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

CORRUPTION CHARGED.
Sensational Sequel to the Chicago
Gas Companies Case.


CHICAGO. July 2s.-The attempt to
cause the dissolution of the consoli-
dated gas companies Of Chicago re-
suited today in a complete rout for
the Eastern bondholders Of the Equita-
BILE Gas Light and Fuel company. The
bill filed by the bondholders asked the
circuit court to appoint a receiver for
the corporation and incidentally to
cut the ties which bind the seven COM
panies' forming the consolidation.
Judge Gibbons rendered a decision
holding that the compliments have
no standing in court, refusing the mo-
ton to appoint a receiver, and dismiss
ing the bill for want Of equity
Soon after Judge Gibbons had rem
dered his decision, the attorneys repre-
senting the bondholders fled an amend
ment to the bill Of complaint, in which
are made charges Of corruption in the
Illinois legislature which passed the
consolidation act. Four Of the compa-
MES in the trust, the Peoples the
Equitable, the Chicago and the Con-
sumers, are accused of appropriating
and using $3.50, 900 toward securing the
passage Of the bill. The amendment
asks that the officers Of these corpora
tons be required to account for the
money thus spent.
No attempt will be made to Interfere
with the entry of Judge Gibbons de-
cree, the amendment being filed solely
for the purpose Of the proposed appeal

Garcia Letter Is Genuine.

Garcia Letter Is Genuine.
KEY WEST, Fla, July 2S.-Gen. o.
o. Howard, who has been at work in
the military camps in connection with
the army and navy Christian commits
sion, was met here few days ago by
Col. Bernabe Bosa, chief of staff to
Gen. Maxine Gomez, the head of the
military establishment of the so-called
Cuban republic, and given by him the
real desires Of Gen. Gomez in the mat
ter OF the present conduct of the cam
paign and of the future control of az
fairs in Cuba
There have been, as Is well known.
many conflicting reports from Eastern
Cuba concerning the Cubans as fight
ers, and President Mckinley believes #
possible that some of these reports
have been grossly prejudiced. Desiring
to find out at once himself what the
Cubans are, what they are doing, and
what they want, he has named some
gentlemen to go, each independently Of
the other, make up their separate
opinions and report to him. While these
gentlemen are afforded some advant-
ages of the military arm Of service
they are not to consult Gen. Shafter or
anybody else but the Cubans. The Gu
bans have been notified Of their coming
and know that what they say Is to be
directly to the American president and
his cabinet. Their mission Is to find
out what the Cubans are really doing
and what they want to do; also what
they wish for after the war is over.
Col Bernabe Bosa came here direct

from Gen. Gomez to meet these Amer-
can non-official ENJOYS, and returned
again with Gen. Howard, who has sail
ed for Santiago on a transport, on his
way to see Gen. Gomez. Col. Bosa
speaks the sentiments Of Gen. Gomez,
for he came here expressly to give
them. He refused to say much for plb-
LEGATION, and Gen. Howard, acting I'M
Ger government instructions, will not
permit to be printed all that he did
say. 20
Col. Bosa, speaking for Gen. Gomez,
and, as he believes, for the Cubans In
general, said they wanted a constitu-
ton modelled upon the constitution of
the United States, with such changes
az circumstances rendered necessary.
That which, above all, they desire is re-
ligious freedom.
Gen. Gomez is not anxious, accord
ing to his military chief Of staff, to put
Cubans in high places, either as mill
tary officers or, later on, as civil COM
manders. He desires that the United
States exercise full control until such
time as peace may be declared, when,
he Is confident, the United States will
treat the Cubans fairly. He has no
criticism of the acts at Santiago, and
does not believe the Garcia letter gen
uine. If genuine. he does not SYM
pathiZe with it's sentiments

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The gov

weather station on it's domain. Its ac
ton follows a request for this privi-
lege made by the secretary of state at
the instance of the secretary of agri-
culture, with an express explanation
of the purposes sought, and that the
Haytian government would thus get
the benefit of cur weather service. The
declination, however, was definite, and
doubtless was brought on by a fear
that it would offend against neutrality
between the United States and SPAIN

Today Fred J. Randolph, formerly in
charge Of the weather service of the
house of representatives in this city,
was directed to complete negotiations
with the French local government for
transmission of observations. The
United States, of course, will reimburse
the French possessions for the expense
of cable transmission. Mr.. Randolph
will sail Saturday, and en- route will
stop at st. Thomas and establish the
station there leaving Clyde Lemon in
charge. Mr.. Randolph will take with
him standard meteorological instru-

over $1,000 year.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The treas

I'm order to save vsXatious embarras-
ment to larger subscribers to the war
loan bonds-meaning by this subscrib-
ers for more than $500-the department
has arranged to recognize transfers of
notices Of allotmentS so that persons
receiving notice of the amount allotted
to them will be in a position to realize
on them in case of necessity; substan-
tally as readily as if they were in
possession of the bonds allotted to
them. This has seemed to be the duty
Of the treasury department in view of
the unavoidable delay in placing the
actual bonds in the hands of the larger
subscribers. The energies of the de-
partment are now directed to shipping
bonds to small subscribers under the
general theory of the law that the small
subscribers should receive the fl st con-
sideration.
while making the allotment notice
assignable as provided may not be as
convenient to larger subscribers as a
more prompt delivery of the bonds it
Is believed the arrangement will fairly
meet the needs OF those, who for
various reasons carnot await the actual
delivery of the bonds.
Sample forms of assignment and
transfer have been furnished to the
subtreasurers in New York, Boston,
