The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease. requires a con
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun.
dat,ois of the disease. and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
sti.ution and assisting nature IN doing
its work. The proprietors have SO
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that il fails to cure. Send for list

CATTLE SANITARY BOARD MEETS.
Governor, Treasurer and Auditor Requested
to Make Levy on Assessed Value Of
Cattle for Needs Of Board.

The cattle sanitary board of the terri
tory met this morning here in special
session. There were present, w. H.
Jack, chairman, n. NJ. Chatlin, Las We
gas, and F. j. Otero, Albuquerque,
members, and Jas. A. LaRue, secretary.
The following resolution was adopted:
Whereas. The revenues Of this board
have fallen off very materially owing to
the retarded movement of cattle to mar
ket, which up this time has been 10000
head less than at this time last year:
| and,
| Whereas. 1t has been made apparent
to this board by the cattle men from all
parts of the territory that the employ
ment of additional inspectors is abso-
lutely necessary to carry out the objects
and purposes for which this board was
appointed, and that the present levy of
one-half mill of the appraised value of
the cattle in the territory is entirely made
quate to raise sufficient money for the
proper carrying on of the operations OF
the board, row, therefore, be it
Resolved That the governor, treasurer
and auditor of the territory be summoned
| to meet as territoria! cattle sanitary
board, at the governors Office in the
city of Santa Fe for the purpose of max
ing levy on the assessable value OF
cattle within the territory as provided
by law. and that a copy of these resolu-
tions be transmitted to the governor
with the request that he will act in CON
formity herewith.
After some routine business, the
board adjourned subject to the call of
| the chair,

LOYAL CAPTAIN PHINNEY.
Refused to Supply Coal for Spanish Vessel
at Vera Cruz in Presence of Large
Crowd Of Spanish Sympathizers.

Washington, June 3o.-Ihe 600 ton
American schooner Clara A. Phinney,
of New Bedford, some days ago was
authorized to clear with 100 tons of coal
from Mobile to Vera Cruz. on the alfi-
davits of reliable citizens Of Mobile that
the coal was destined for railroad pur-
poses. On reaching Vera Cruz, Captain
Phinnev was directed by NJ. Jonblanc,
his consignee, to place his vessel along
side the Spanish steamer Maria Her
rera In the presence of group OF eX-
cited Spanish sympathizers. Captain
Phinney bluntly refused, declaring with
emphasis that no vessel in his charge
should ever lie alongside ship bearing
the flag of his country's enemy, much
less to supply her with even a pound OF
coal. The captain with crowd at his
heels, marched to the American con
sulate and notified the consul who wrote
at once to General Spaulding, the act
ing secretary, that he had placed HIM
self under American piosection. EX-
ports of coal to M. Jonblanc, of Vera
Cruz, will cease and the department
will undertake the responsibility ana
punishment for the deed.

but it was very decisively in our favor
the enemy retiring precipitately. The
lack of cavalry only prevented thell
capture. Reports from Spanish sources
from Santiago say we were beaten, pu
persisted in fighting and they were
obliged to fall back. | deeply regre
the loss of so many brave men,
Expect battle to take place so sool
as get ready to move. Re-enforce
ments will not reach me. Horses stoot
the voyage well. Would like NOR
horses and the 3rd battalion and officer
of the cavalry and Colonel Woods vol
unteers.
.The health and spirits Of my CON
mand are excellent. Began the dc
barkation of the command Wednesda!
and the last troops and artillery lande
today, besides transferring from Ascel
deros, so miles off. 1900 troops undt
