The remedy for these conditions does not
lie in cosmetics. Skin disease is caused by
impurities III the blood, and by nervous
disorders due to weakness and disease of
the distinctly feminine organism. Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the
greatest of all known blood purifiers. It
not only drives all impurities from the life
stream but fills it with the rich, ife-giving
elements of the food. DR.. Pierce's Favor

and important organs that bear the burdens
of wifehood and motherhood. It makes
them pure, strong, we'll and vigorous. A
course of these two great medicines will
transform weak, siekly, nervous, despond-

eruptions of the skin, into healthy, happy,

who have been in Washington for many
months. contemplate taking an early
start for Hawt2a.s
IL is the view of the Hawaiians here
that Hawaii becomes a part of the United
States the moment that the president
signs the resolutions of congress. The
annexation is to be completed without
any further action here or in Hawaii.
At the same time it is possible that the
Hawaiian legislature may pass resolu-
ton similar to the one passed by our
congress- Mr.. Thurston explains the stat
us thus:
1.-The Hawaiian senate unanimously rat
flied treaty Of annexation. This in ef-
feet was a tender of Hawaii to the United
States. Now the United States accepts
the tender by a joint resolution of con-
gress, signed by the president
The tender is now complete. If, however,
It is desired 10 have both branches of the
Hawaiian legislature pass an act similar
to that of the American congress, Mr..
Thurston says this may be quickly ac-
complished. The session has just ended.
but an extra session can be called at
once.
For the present the existing civil or
ganization will continue with President
Dole as chief executive, and until five
commissioners appointed by the president
complete a system of organization and
put IL into operation.
The return of the ex-queen is not re-
garded as significant as showing any pur-
pose to contest annexation. Although il
has been reported that she was excited,
this is denied by those fully acquainted
with the facts. The former queen retains
her citizenship in Hawaii, and now that
all Hawaiians become citizens of the
United States. she is also said to be en-
titled to citizenship. She has four resi-
dences at Honolulu, one of them being
large and handsome establishment oppo-
site the government buildings. One of her
other houses has been occupied the

Kiaulani is now at Honolulu and has re-

friction.

and A. S. Rowan, Major ID. ]. Black
and Captain II. III. Whitney.
At the same time Lieutenant Colonel
Michler and a large staff of headquar-
ters clerks, who have been in Tampa,
will come north to Charleston and join
the party. The start will be made from
Charleston on either the Yale or Co.
lumbia, which are taking on troops this
afternoon. 1t is expected that the party
will be at Santiago in the early part
of next week. On the eve of his de-
parture General Miles expressed salts
faction ON starting to join the troops.
He spoke of the sacrifices and hardships
they had passed through recently and of
those yet to come.
General Miles has no other purpose
in going to Santiago than to look over
the military situation and to strengthen
the hands of Shafter. There is no inten-
ton on his part to take in any manner
the glory that Shafter has won or may
win in this campaign. He will not re-
lieve General Shafter of his command
unless the latter's physical health is
such as to demand some such action.
The war department admitted for the
first time that two expeditions, one on
the Florida and the other on the Fa-
nita, had successfully proceeded from
Florida ports to points in Western Cuba,
where large quantities of arms and sup
plies were landed for General Gomez's
command. This is the first time that
arms have got to Gomez and his men in
the western sections, as the first expedi-
tion equipped Garcia and his men
around Santiago. The Florida and Fa-
nita left some time ago. but their move
ments were guarded with the greatest
care in order that a premature publica-
tion might not jeopardize the safety of
those on board as well as the delivery
of the guns. The time of danger is now
passed, however, and the full stock of
guns. ammunition and supplies is in the
hands of General Gomez's troops.
