A Devoted Wife-IIOW She

Jersey City Heights, N. j., May 3, 1896.
DR.. 2. Fahmey, Chicago, Ill. Dear SIR
My husband was ailing for years, and al
though he was strong, robust man, he be-
came so weak that he was unable to work
He also lost his hearing He was stone
mason by trade. Many dollar we spent for
doctors and medicine, but it seemed that
doctoiing did no good.
One day q neighbor of ours referred me to
a doctor in New York City, whom he recon-
mended very highly. l called on him and
stated all Of my husbands symptoms, being
careful not to omit anything When had
told him all he shook his head and said, u
am afraid there is no further hope for him.
You had better go home at once"
Frightened almost to death, hurried home
as fast as my feet could carry me. l did not
know hat 10 do, but in my despair l hap
pened to remember Il lady who lived at No.
100 Blocker street, who had medicine which
had cured great many people. 1t was your
DIR. PETERS BLOOD VITALIZER. Imade up
my mind to 90 there and get some and give
it u trial. l commenced giving it to my hus-
band and soon he fell into deep sleep. Be-
fore the bottle was used up he said he felt
much better. We kept right ON with the
medicine and used about 10 large bottles
He improved right along his hearing came
back, and now he is able to work again, all
of which is due to the wonderful power of
your DIR. PETERS BLOOD VITALIZER.

KEY WEST, May 30.-Any doubt remain

vera's fleet was removed by reports brought
in by naval scout ships.
The Spanish squadron is anchored in the
harbor of Santiago and the problem re-
mains for the commanders of the American
meet TO dispose of the enemy. either by
corking the bottle, or by forcing the long
mario" passage and smashing the strong
Spanish squadron at the anchorage its COM
manner mas chosen. 1t has been the opin-
ion of Rear Admiral Sampson that Admiral
CerVera would seek either Santiago or
Celh1uegos as a naval refuge and base and
the movement of the two American squad
rons mas proceeded upon this basis.
Strong and effective as are the Spanish
ships. representing as they do the flower of
the spanish navy, every argument in naval
strategy compelled Admiral Cervera either
TO seek the shelter of the close harbor of
Santiago or return to Spain and he chose
TO make his stand at Santiago.
That he would court a fight in the omen
sea Is an idea which has never been enter
tanned in American naval circles, although
MS ships, without exception, have high
qualities. On the other hand it was be-
lleVed the Spanish admiral would attempt
TO run into San Juan de Porto Rico but
the TACT OF the recent bOmbardment Of the
forts Of that harbor coupled with the pos
s1bility that Rear Admiral SIMPSONS fleet
would be met If ne attempted to enter that
harbor, left the Spanish admiral only one
alternative and he adopted it by going to
Santiago, where, it is presumed he has
been able to coal, clean and repair and is
in a position to accept either the conditions
imposed by the blockade or the issue of
hght IN the inner harbor, after the Ameri-
can 1lete has forced the passage
1t has been thought that the campaign
against Admiral Cervera must now be end
ed by demolishing the forts at the entrance
OF the harbor of Santiago, blockadng the
channel and isolating the Spanish feet un-
til the other problems of the war are
worked out. This, however, is not in the
line with American policy and, simply &C.
