WASHINGTON, June 16.-The troops re-
naming at Tampa, together with many
OF these at jacksonville and Mobile will
be utilized to reinforce General Shafter
at Santiago instead OF forming an expedi-
ton to invade Porto Rico.
The original plans for the Santiago ex-
petition contemplated a force much
larger than that which Shafter took with
INN and now that the Spanish troops at
Santiago have been found to number
nearly 10000 it has been decided to
supplement the 5000 men under Shaftcr
by at least 10000 more.
rhe transports already chartered now
ar New Orleaus, Mobile and New York
have been ordered TO proceed at once to
Tampa, and il is expected the expedi-
ton will leave the latter port within a
week. ..

tie Government may be forced to take
British ships for service on the Atlantic
coast, as they have already done on the
Pacific.
Meanwhile the War Department is
pushing the work of preparing the fight
ing men for the expedition. and today
orders were sent General Brooke at
Chickamauga, to prepare $1,000 tor
transfer to point to be designated here
after-probably Eernandna
1t will take some days to get such Il
body OF troops in shape to leave, and
they will hardly reach their Florida des-
tination before the second Santiago eX
pedition leaves.
Acting upon the decision of the Madrid
authorities, the secretary OF the navy
has designated Captain Nicoll Ludlow OF
the Monitor Terror to conduct with Cen
era! Blanco the negotiations for en-
changing Assistant Constructor Hobson
and his brave men, for an equal number
OF Spanish prisoners now held at Fort
MCPHERSON. Captain Ludlow will go to
Havana under flag of truce and in a
small vessel which does not carry arms
OF any sort.
The exchange will probably BE- made
within few days and the heroes of the
Merrimac transferred to one of the
American ships off Santiago.
At the request of Representative Pear
son, of North Carolina, a relative OF
llobson, the President has deferred the
advancement of that officer as proposed
until his wishes in the matter can be
consulted
1t was thought he might prefer trans
Ter to the line OF the Navy instead of an
advancement in the construction corps,
and tile President withheld the nomina-
ton.

MADRID, June 1910 a. m.-Advices
received here today by the Liberal from
Manila, under date of June s, practi-
cally repeat the news contained in the
dispatch of June 10 from the Shanghai
correspondent of the London Daily Tele-
graph. who forwarded upon that occasion
Information which he had received from
Manila up to June s, saying that on June
5 the insurgents forced the passage of the
Zapote River and captured Las Pinas
and Paranaki, since which time the
fighting between the insurgents and the
Spanlards was continuous and the latter
were being gradually driven in.
The Liberals dispatch explains that
Sin the face OF Aguinaldo's superior
forces the Spaniards were compelled to
retreat"
The Spanish correspondent also says;
The fighting continues incessantly.
There are skirnishes at intervals day
and night, and lack Of provisions has
compelled the Spaniards to yield to GER
tain points Both ammunition and food
are most scarce. Nevertheless, the
Spaniards are animated by the best
spirit, and are fighting heroically. The

Plans to Attack Canaries

Special Dispatch to THE SUN.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-It is stated
that there will be no general invasion of
Cmba until about October.
The Administration has another plan
in view, and unless Spain, after the fall
of Porto Rico, sues for peace, the army
and the navy of the United States will
probably start a campaign against the
Canary Islands.
Plans for such an expedition are being
carefully considered, but much depends
on Spain's action after successful
termination of the expeditions now on
foot. 49,. r..
The President is being very strongly
advised that it would be the best policy
to allow the spaniards to fight yellow
fever alone this summer, and not to ex-
pose our troops to the infection during
the rainy season, and that the army can
be used to much better advantage in an
attack upon Spain's other colonies,
especially against those near the Spanish
coast, where the operations would be
under the eyes of the Spanish people,
who are kept in ignorance of the re-
verses which the Spanish army suffers at
a distance.
While there are some here who think
Spain will sue for peace after the fall of
Porto Rico and the occupation of the
Philippines, those who are we'll ac-
quainted with the officials of the Spanish
Government say that Spain is not now
fighting for her colonies, but to preserve
the present government.
A diplomat who has tie best facilities
for studying and knowing the conditions
affecting the present Spanish officials,
says the situation in Spain today will
not allow of the Sagasta Ministry propos-
ing peace at this time as to do so would
lead to the immediate overthrow of the
present dynasty.

issued by War Department to rexpedite
matters SO that the troops now in the
South as well ms some of those at Camp
Alger may be ready to proceed as soon as

a new and more serious phase of the con-
tlict was presented.
Instead OF blockading and beleaguering
few Spanish cities, the American army
now entered Spanish territory, and that
advanced the campaign from a passive to
an active and offensive condition. The
ships had simply surrounded Spanish:
territory. but the troops would cross the
line and enter Spanish territory.
For this reason, he said, the hopes Of
a peaceful solution of the conflict had
passed away, and he believed they could
not be revived until the result Of this
first Cuban invasion was determined.

MR.. A. fl. HARDISTY, SLIGO. MD.
From Gloom Of Deafness
To Joy Of Hearing.

This is the change that has taken place in the
life Of Mr.. Hardisty, who says: am now ex-
periencing the greatest pleasure that can come to
a man who had lost his sense of hearing. For
eight. what have been to me. long, weary years,

mon, enjoyable to Others, were nothing to me
but tumble Of mumbling sounds. Lost to me
were the pleasures of life which come through
the sense Of hearing. Recently I began to shun
social Affairs. as did not hear what was being
said around about me. and ! felt as all other
deaf people do. that it was not agreeable to talk
TO me, for could only hear when spoken to in a
very loud voice. 1t bothered me in my business
and while my fellow-workmen laughed and chat

Added to all this was persistent kissing sound

| those having this complication can even imagine
how distressing this becomes have often thought

have the noises gone. but my hearing has been
restored so that ! probably hear as well as ever

United States The eustachian tube was closed

produced thiekened and depressed drums, which

All such cases yield to treatment.)

Female Liberties I'm Italy.

Though in Italy the so-called .'emanci-
patton" Of women is by no means so far
advanced as in England or the United
States. there are few countries in Europe
where the political influence of women Is
greater than in Italy, says Woman"
The influence. though great. is not, how
ever. always apparent, for it is chiefly ex-
ercised Indirectly and privately by the
women of the upper classes. Instead of
forming themselves into associations and
leagues and international. unions and or
ganizing public meetings and competing
with political orators. the Italian women
interested in politics work quietly. and
certainly not less efficaciOusly. than their
more "emancipated'' sisters. As rule
Italian women work by means OF the old
French expedient. the SALON.. in Rome
alone there are no fewer than a dozen
salons devoted almost entirely to the dis
cussion of political topics. Each salon
has its own special political color"
which is generally that Of the husband or
father, or friends of the mistress Of the
house: but while the thread and web of
the politics carried on In a salon is spun
and woven by the men who frequent 1t.
the personal influence of the mistress Of
the house acts on each one OF her guests,
modifying views and softening, on II may
be accentuating. the roughness Of ambi-
tion. As long as they remain in their sa-
lon italian political women are in every
way admirable. There is a salon in Rome
which, though non-political, outshines all
others in celebrity and interest. The mis-
tress Of the house has no political end to
serve nor social position to gain. The
Countess Caetani-Loyatelli. indeed. seems
to be actuated by the sole desire to make
her salon q center for all who have CON-
quered or are conQuering place In
science. In art, In letters. or any branch
of erudition. Herself a woman of great
culture and learning, the only female
member Of the Academy of the Lincei
(the Italian equivalent OF the French In

ity to meet on an equal footing the pro-
fessors and writer's who frequent her sa-
Ion. Omcers. both naval and military,
