THE CAUSE OF DYSPEPSIA.
From the Republican, Scranton, Pa.

The primary cause of dyspepsia is lack OF
vitality; the absence of nerve force: the loss
of the DEMONSTRATING elements of the blood.
No organ can properly perform its func-
ton when the source of nutriment fails.
When the stomach is robbed of the nourish-
ment demanded by nature, assimilation
ceases, unnatural gases are generated; the
entire systm responds to the discord.
A practical illustration of the symptoms
and torture of dyspepsia is furnished by the
case of Joseph I. Nandyke, 40 Hickory ST.,
Scranton, Pa.
In telling his story, Mr.. Vandyke says:

Spring is the Time
When Impurities in the Blood
Should Be Expelled
Americas Greatest Medicine Is the
Best Spring Medicine.

In winter months the perspiration, so.
profuse in summer, almost ceases. This
throws back into the system the impurities
that should have been expelled through,
the pores of the skin. This and other
causes makes the blood impure in spring.
Boils, pimples, humors and eruptions then
appear or some more serious disease may
take its start. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
remedy for impure blood in all Its forps,
as proved by its marvellous cures of blood
diseases. 1t is therefore the medicine for
you to take in the spring. 1t expells all
humors, and puts the whole system in good
condition for warmer weather.

HEROES OF THE MERRIMAC,
Admiral SIMPSONS Official Report
of the Brave Deed.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Navy
Department to-day posted the follow
ing bulletin, giving a detailed official
report of Admiral Sampson upon the
heroism of Lieutenant Hobson and his
men in sinking the Merrimac in the
Santiago channel:

June 3, 1898.
Permit me to call your special at
tention to Assistant Naval Constructor
Hobson. AS stated in a special tele-
gram, before coming here, / was or
dered to make harbor entrance secure
against the possibility of egress by
Spanish ships by obstructing the mar
row part of the entrance by sinking a
collier at that point Upon calling upon
Mr. Hobson for his professional opinion
as to a method of sinking the ship he
manifested the most lively interest in
the problem. After several days con-
sideration he presented a solution which
he considered would insure the immedi-
ate sinking of the ship when she reach
ed the desired point in the channel
This plan we prepared for execution
when we reached Santiago. The plan
contemplated a crew of only seven men
IL
might be intrusted to him The anchor
chains were arranged on deck for both
the anchors, forward and aft, the plan
including the anchoring of the ship al
most automatically. AS soon as
reached Santiago and I had the collier
to work upon, the details We're complet-
ed and diligently prosecuted, hoping to
complete them in one day, when the
moon and tide served best, the first
night after our arrival.
Notwithstanding the hour o'clock
in the morning-arrived and prepara-
ton was scarcely completed. After a
careful inspection of the final prepara-
tions / was forced to relinquish the plan
for that morning, as dawn was break
ing. Mr.. Hobson begged to try it at all
hazards.
This morning proved more propiti-
Gus, and a prompt start was made
Nothing could have been more gallantly
executed. We waited impatiently after
the firing by the Spaniards had ceased.
When they did not reappear from the
harbor, l feared that they had all per-
ished. A steam launch which had been
sent in charge Of Naval Cadet Powell
to rescue the men, appeared at this
time. coming out under a persistent fire
of the batteries, but brought none Of
the crew. careful inspection of the
harbor from ship showed that the yes
sci Merrimac had been sunk in the
channel.
This afternoon the chief of staff of
Admiral Cervera came out under a flag
of truce with a letter from the Ad-
miral, extolling the bravery of the crew
in an unusual manner.
'I cannot myself too earnestly ex-
press my appreciation of the conduct
of Mr.. Hobson and his gallant crew. I
venture to say that a more brave and
daring thing has not been done since

few of the German newspapers per-

open hostility toward the United States.
Throughout the week they have ve-
hemently maintained that the occur
rences at Santiago amounted to AN
other defeat of the Yankees" and have
gleefully printed the lying Madrid dis
patches supporting this contention
These newspapers also continue to
charge the Americans with cowardice

until recently the Americans regarded
as foes unworthy of their STEEL

comments We're endangering the COM

thies, and some of them are beginning
to admit that Spain is in a perilous con-
dition.
The "Deutsche Zeitung" says it
thinks the moment has arrived for dip
lomatic intervention in regard to the
Philippine Islands.
The 'Vosssche Zeitung' says: In
the Philippines Spain's punishment for
centuries of misrule is imminent. The

AT NAVY DEPARTMENT.
Arrival of the Monterey at San
Diego Causes Surprise.

WASHINGTON, June 11-There
were rumors at the Navy Department
to-day that cablegrams had been re-
eeived from Sampson via Port Antonio.
Jamaica The foundatic. for these
was probably the arrival of the ST
Louis off the coast of Jainaica leading
to the natural presumption that she had
brought dispatches from the Comman-
der-in- Chief of the blockading SQUAD
ron. The Department officials would
not admit that any dispatches had been
received. but there is reason for the
assumption that in any case they relat-
ed to nothing more important than
news from Sampson that certain ships
had been designated to supplement- the
convoy for the troop ships and also an
announcement from the Commander of
the st. Louis that he had captured a
prize.
As time is believed to be an important
