Large Lot of Ammunition was on board
a Steamer Captured by One of the Block
aiding Fleet.
Key West, May 21.-Fifteen cages OF
ammunition were found Friday ON the
Spanish steamer Argonauta, captured
during the first days of the war. II
was on board this steamer that Lieut.
Col. Cortijo, Wevler's brother-iu-law,
was captured with other Spanish sol
diers now prisoners in Fort McPher'
son, Atlanta.
A secret chamber was found in the
hold of the Argonauta that contained
Is cases of ammunition, over 100 Mau-
ser rifles and other war stores. The
find" was made by the United States
marshals officers.
The discovery of the war supplies on
board the Argonauta will not change
the status of her case before the prize
court, as it had already been decided,
before learning of the find, that the
steamer was legitimately a prize OF
war; no claims having been filed by the
owners of the ship or cargo. A like
decision was rendered in the cases OF
the steamer Ambrosio Bolivar and
schooners Candidita, Mathilda and So
phia. The only formality remaining
to make these vessels the absolute
property of the United States is the
confirmation by the federal court au
thorities of the findings of the prize
commission.
The cases of the Buena Ventura, the
first capture of the war, and Pedro
Catalina, Miguel Jover Panama anC
Guido, all large and valuable steamers
will have to be tried in regular form
by the United States court, claims hav
ing been filed by the owners of thu
ships and cargos.

Kingston, Jamaica, May 2O.-Two
American warships appeared off San
tiago de Cuba on Wednesday while the
steamer Adula, which has arrived here
from that port, was in the harbor.
They drew the fire of the batteries at
the harbor entrance. 1t is not certain
whether the warships replied to the
| fire.
The fire continued from noon to
o'clock. Capt. Walker, of the Adula,
when coming out, could not see any
marks on Moro castle, and inferred
that the American ships drew the fire
of the batteries to learn the range.
There was much excitement in the
city. The regulars and volunteers were
called out and new earthwork batter
les erected on each side of the har-
Dor entrance. The number and cali
Der of the guns are unknown, but it
is known that there are torpedoes in
the channel electrically connected with
the shore.

Lake Crystal, Mimi, July 3lst, 1897.
April 5th, 1892, my little boy, just four
years old, was terribly scalded by falling
backward into pail full Of boiling water.
He fell into it in such manner that he re-
manned doubled up until his mother, who
was in the next room, could come to his res
cue. In tearing his clothing from him, the
skin and flesh came off in strips, and the
mothers hands were badly burned. The
skin came off his body from above the middle
Of the back to below the calves of his legs.
The burn was deep and the case desperate.
For two months he was under the care of our
family physician. We then took him to st.
Paul and acting under his alvice called in one
of the leading surgeons of the city, who took
the case in charge. Other physicians were
called in consultation; sixty pieces of skin
were grated at one time, yet notwithstand-
ing all the skill of the doctors and the most
unremitting care, two months afterwards all
hope had been given up. For months he
had lain on pillows with his face down and
suffered terribly. He had no appetite and
could retain nothing on his stomach.
The sores were indolent and for two
attention was then called to Aliens Ulcerine
Salve, and in desperation, ready to try any
thing that promised help, we commenced its
use. Results were apparent at once: 1t at
once aroused the sores to action and stimu'
lated healthy discharge. We kept the
boys strength up with preparation of
beefs blood and wine, and in about two
months he was we'll on the road to recovery,
and we were able to remove him back to our
home. Thirteen months from the time he
was injured he was perfectly restored. 1t
has been over four years since the cure was
effected and the boy is perfectly well and
remarkably strong and active. believe
that Aliens Ulcerine Salve saved his life, as
when we commenced its use all hopes had
been given up, and blood poisoning was. ex;
pected to set in any moment. 1t was four
months after he was burned before we be-
gan to use the Salve. Signed, H. E. WOODS,

been followed by extra subscriptions
from Cubans in this country and Eu-
rope more than enough to reimburse
the junta's treasury. But the Cubans
who could afford to do this are rela-
lively few and their resources are not
inexhaustible. The regular monthly
payments which every patriotic Cuban
Is making to the revolutionary cause,
amounting in many cases to more than
twenty-five per cent. Of the donors
entire income. constitute as heavy a
sacrifice as the majority of American
Cubans can make without reducing
themselves and their families to des-
titution.
Put even il the money loss resulting
from the scuttling of the Tillie were re-
gained in some way, as for example
by American contributions, which no
to the present moment have been more
liberal in words than in negotiable cur
rency, there would remain the feeling
of insecurity and distrust which every
act of treachery inspires ana leaves in
Its wake. This will constitute the jun
ta's greatest obstacle. Spanish diplo-
macy has again exhibited it's CONSUME
mate skill. 1t has barbed the enemy
in way which insures pain and peril
long after the arrow itself shall have
been extricated. The circumstance is
enough to make decent Americana
heartily ashamed of the illiheral and
one-sided policy of the government at
Washington which. by its refusal to
grant belligerent rights has made it
necessary for the friends of Cuba to
steal and skuik out of Yankee ports,
subjecting themselves to such risks as
proved fatal to the purposes Of the
expedition aboard the 'rillic.
Fortunately, General Garcia has no
present lack of dynamite; and with
what he has he will undoubtedly render
good account.
