Admiral SIMPSONS Errand.

1oin the North Atlantic squadron. He
declared that the navy department
was under no apprehension about the
Oregon, for the reason that it did not
consider that the Spanish admiral of
the Cape Verde squadron would be
willing to risk combat with the Ore
gon, even with the great odds in his
favor, as, even if overwhelmed in the
end, the Oregon would certainly de-
stroy one of the Spanish ships, and
perhaps two, and the Spanish govern
ment could not afford to exchange
pawns at this stage of the war. That
left open as possible points of opera
tions for Sampson, either Porto Rico
or some port on the Cuban coast. But
just which theory is to be accepted is
not even hinted at by the department
officials
Notice came to the state department
from Brazil that that government had
declared neutrality. There is now no
cause to regret such action on the
part of Brazil, for however beneficial
the delay has been to the United
States in getting its war ships safely
along the Brazilian coast, the issue of
the proclamation just now is likely to
be still more beneficial in closing Bra
lillian ports to the Spanish flying
squadron if it should be headed in that
direction. 1t is now believed that the
Spanish flying squadron really has
turned back to connect with the home
snnadron at Cadiz.

Latest Advices From the National Capital
on the War Situation.


WAsHINGToN, May 6.
The Navy department has information to
the effect that the Spanish troops in Cuba
anticipating an invasion by our forces, are
being concentrated at the chief seaports of
the island, abandoning the interior to the in
surgents.
The authorities are very reticent about Civ
ing information as to the invasion of Cuba
1t was learned to-day upon what seems to be
good authority, that not less than 5000
troops will land at some point near Havana,
probably to-day but not later than Saturday.
This is the advance guard for the army that
is to attack Havana simultaneously with the
bombardment of that port by our naval fleet.
These troops, when landed, will join the in
surgents.
Active preparations were being made to-
day by both the war and navy departments
for reinforcing Commodore Dewey at Manila
and sending out sufficient men and supplies
to hold the islands aud maintain order De-
tails of the expedition will depend upon the
nature of Dewey's report, now expected at
any moment.
The Senate Finance committee resumed
consideration of the War Revenue bill. The
Democrats on the committee, with the as
sistance of two silver Republicans, have con-
troll of the bill. Among the changes they
propose is striking out the bond issue and as
a substitute place tax of per cent. on gross
receipts of railroads and the issuing of
$3.50 900, 600 in greenbacks. The Senate will
not accept this, and the bill will likely pass
in the same shape it came from the House.
1t may be a week before the bill is reported
to the Senate.
The administration desires immediate
action by Congress on the resolution for the
annexation of the Hawaiian islands The
House favors annexation, but the Senate's
action cannot be foretold. The possession of
the Islands is necessary, it is urged, for war
purposes, as coaling stations.
Inquiry at the navy department at three
o'clock this afternoon elected the informa-
tiOn that no official news was received from
Commodore Dewey.
The report that the cable between Manila
and Hong Kong has been repaired proves
erroneous

Special to EVENING HERALD.

Washington, May 6.-Secretary Long
said at the close of Office yesterday
that up to THAI time he had received
no word from Commodore Dewey. He
added, however, that he felt no appre-
hension over this lack of good news,
because in the first place reports were
not expected with the cable from Ma
were entertained as to Commodore
Dewey's ability to maintain his posi-
tion. There was no doubt, the Secre-
tary said, that Commodore Dewey s
fleet had annihilated the Spanish fleet,
and with this much accomplished
Dewey was master of the situation at
Manila. The powder and shot to be
sent to Dewey will give 500 rounds for
the big guns and several thousand
rounds for the rapid fire rifles.
No news could be CLEANED at the
navy department relative to the move
ments of Admiral Simpsons ironclads
but from the confident tone of the few
officials who are acquainted with the
policy of the department they are ex-
pecting to hear very soon of news from
his squadron almost as interesting and
important as that received from the
Philippines last Monday. A high Of
ficer of the administration almost de-
molished the theory that Admiral

TO VISIT NORTH YAKIMA
Dr.. Darrin, the Hsll-KnoHn Specialist,
Is C0min{.
viii Be Here for Z Limited Time, Sept
10 10 80, At Hotel Yakima.

While averse to drs wing the attention
OF our readers to any advertisement which
partakes OF q medical character, We feel
more than justified in overriding this
objection with respect to the announ
ment In this issue OF the coming visit Of
DR.. Darrin to North Yakima.
This far. famed physician Oate from
Paris, London aud New York;, who has
achieved great reputation throughout
the coast, and the northwest, has been
prevailed npon, through the urgent re-
quest of many in this vicinity, to visit
North Yakima. as they could not afford
by their time and business to consult him
at bis offices in Spokane. The Doctor
has at last consented to accommodate the
afflicted, and will have his offices at the
Hotel Yakima for limited time only
September 10 to 80. Those wishing to
consult with the Doctor will find it to
their advantage to call on him while
there.
He comes to us laden with testim onials
| from throughout the whole northwest,
and the authenticated reports Of some Of
his cures seem nothing short OF miracu-
lous. So many thousands are already
acquainted with his mode Of treatment it
seems necessary only to say that he uses
little or no medicine in the majority Of
cases, and perfects his cures by the won-
derful power of Electro. Magnetism.
There are few of the ills to which
human flesh is heir which can not be re-
leved and generally permanently cured
BY DR.. Darrin's Electro Magnetic treat
| ment, and cases that have resisted the
efforts of ordinary physicians have yield
ed to his power, These cases embrace
almost every kind of disease, and, as
| said before, no man, woman or child need
despair Of relief and cure while DR.. Oar
rim offers his invaluable services.
Unlike other physicians who have be-
| come eminent in their profession the
Doctors charges are extremely moderate
and reasonable. according to circum-
stances and ability to pay, and he will
not undertake any case that he cannot
cure or benefit. Consultation is free 10
all, for should there be any cases that are
incursble, he will Immediately discover
them on consultation, thus saving his pa
tients any further expenditure of money
and time which they might otherwise
squander.
DR. Darrin has an envisble rank in his
| profession as a wonderfully successful
physician. He is essentially original in
his method of practice, and those who
have been under his treatment are sur
prised at the newness and novelty OF his
system of practice by electricity. His
| honesty and straightforward advice be-
fore taking case has won for him the
confidence Of his patients as we'll as the
general public. The doctor is q gentle
man of genial, social nature, and his pri-
vate practice is marked by the formation
of personal friendship with those with
whom he comes in professional contact.
He is without doubt one of the most
thoroughly qualified physicians now be-
fore the public.

SIDE NOTES.
From the Seattle Times.
One man whom the democratic con-
vention was always ready to listen to was
Assistant Attorney General Tom Vance,
who was a member Of the North Yakima
delegation. Vance lie dry wit, and fire.
quently convulsed the convention by bis
remarks. His speeches against woman
suffrage aud his seconding the nomina.
nation OF NJ. M. Goldman for supreme
Judge will long be remembered by the
delegates present. "We'll have to send
Tommy to congress some day." remarked
Ashley" Brown Of the SpokesmanRe Re-
view, himself delegate to the demo-
cratic convention, and his remark was in
dorsed by the little group OF newspaper
men who handled" the democratic con-
vention.
II. j. Snively OF North Yakima has
had to stand some pretty hard political
storms in his day, but he was very popu-
lar at this convention. He knew every
body there and took pains to make ev-
erybody else know the delegates, conse-
9uently winning for himself considerable
gratitude from the strangers.
j. p. De Mattos of Whatcom, who pre-
sided over the silver republican conven-
ton, divided the honors of being funny
man with Tom Vance. De Mattos has
an original way of saying things that
makes people laugh in spite of them
selves.
