his mail remains unopened.

We live in a country of which
the principal scourge is stomach
trouble.
1t is more widespread than any
other disease, and, very pearly more
dangerous.
One thing that makes it so dang
erous is that it is so little understood
If it were better understood, il
would be more feared, more easily
cured, less universal than it is now
So, thhse who wish to be cured
take Shaker Digestive Cordial, be-
cause it goes to the root of the
trouble as no other medicine does
The pure, harmless, curative
herbs and plants, of which it is
composed, are what render it so Ger

The Condition of the Troops Under His
COmmand-Says the Secretary of War
Had Nothing to do With the Cam
paign.
Washington, D. c., August 49,
Secretary Alger today received a
letter from General Shafter, which
is in part as follows:
Headquarters Fifth Army Corps.
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 4, '9S.
Hon. R. A. Alger, Secretary of
War, Washington, D. c.
My Dear General Alger-Your
kind letter OF July 18th was handed
me yesterday by Major Snifen. l
thank you and the President for the
confidence you express in my abili-
ty to handle the matters entrusted
to me here.
The number taken i'll in my COM
mand is very great, as you will see,
though not very much greater than
those returned to duty; and the
death rate is not at present alarm
ing, although it is steadily on the
increase and the doctors tells me
that the fever, malarial and other
wise is constantly preventing more
virulent features. Every effort pos
sible is made to guard ships bring
ing supplies to the army, but it is
almost impossible to enforce it
when ships must be unloaded and
men necessarily mist come to-
gether in discharging and receiving
cargo. The great trouble is that
the people themselves seem to
have no fear of infection and unless
you have a guard over every in
dividual man and it is almost i'm
possible to keep them from ming
ling.
The silver question has settled
itself and American silver is re-
ceived the same as American paper.
The missing,I believe have near
1y all been accounted for. Not a
single man was captured and the
only men now missing are those
that were killed in the thick brush
and whose bodies have never been
found. The country has been
secured faithfully for bodies. This
was done a short time after the bat
tie.
The camps now occupied are
measurably good. they certainly
are on the best ground that is in
the vicinity and slight changes OF
location can be made. The diff
Guilty in separating camps of an
army of this size is on account OF
the great difficulty of supplying
them with necessary food, especial
