Santiago, Aug. 1.-THE bodies of the
over 10 have been burned so far. Yes
terday afternoon 70 were to be burned.
Over two rails a dozen bodies arc
stretched across them another dozen
and then about 80 corpses are stacked ii
an immense funeral pile ten high. The
pile is then saturated with kerosene
and the torch applied. A fall of rain
put out the fire. causing the bodies tc
be only half burned. Around the pile
lay 90 collins containing corpses in a
state of decomposition. Several naked
bodies were strewn upon the ground in
a state of putrefication. Altogether
about 20 unburied and unconsumed
bodies lay around. The stencil was ter
rible, This happened at a cemetery
within the city limits.
The authorities and the cemetery Off
cials say it is impossible to get men to
work at the cremation. Wages of 81
q day prove no inducement to the ma
tives to work at this gruesome toll. The
unconsumed bodies will be left upon the
earth until fine weather may help the
cremation.
These 70 corpses represent two days
dead from the Spanish camp. The dan
ger to the population from the stencil,
the presence of the buzzards, vultures
and flies is incalculable.

Spain has many domestic problems
and the peaceful absorption OF nearly
200, 900 men and officers of the army
from Cuba and Porto Rico is not one of
the easiest of these to solve. At the
close of the civil war In this country the
peaceful disbanding of our large army
was wonder TO the nations of civiliza-
ton. But the Spanish army is made up
of vastly different material There is no
such adaptability on the part of Spanish
troops. Spain has not the Industrial
system to accommodate such a large
body of men even'if they were adapted
to civil life and inclined to work. Be-
side should internal disturbance arise
these men are in just the situation to
give the government trouble. The our
look is not reassuring one.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased porti-r of the ear. There is
only one way TO cure Deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube.
When the tnbe gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound OF imperfect hearing and
when it IS entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy

DAILY COLD SPONGE BATH.
Summer Is the Best Time to Hegin the
Habit of Self-HyGtenip
Treatment.

Although doctors differ" about
many things, they all agree as to the
advisability of the daily bat and the
majority say that it is best taken
cold, unless the bather's vitality is
much below the average. A cold
sponge bath is an excellent tonic as
well as an admirable prophylatic.
The summer is the best tune to ac-
quire the habit.
Use a bathing glove or washrag and
soap yourself rapidly and thoroughly
from head to foot, this ought not to
take more than two or three minutes,
for the quick rubbing is especially de-
sirable, both as exercise and for the
skin. Then wash the soap off, rubbing
as hard and as fast as you can, and
then dry in the same fashion with q
Turkish towel, or, still better, one of
crash. The bath should occupy about
ten minutes and leave you with n
healthy glow when II Is over.
There are many people whose con-
stitutions will not endure cold
plunge bath; very few who would not
reap benefit from daily sponge with
cold water and vigorous rubbing with
q rough towel afterwards, the year
round. If cold water does not leave
you glowing, begin with lukewarm
water, using less and less warm water
every day until you can dispense with
it entirely.-Chicago Times-Herald.
