Spring is the Time
When Impurities In the Blood
Should Be Expelled


In winter months the perspiration, so
profuse in summer, almost ceases. This
throws back into the system the impurities
that should have been expelled through
the pores Of the skin. This and other
causes makes the blood impure In spring.
Boils, pimples, humors and eruptions then
appear or some more serious disease may
take its start. Hoods Sarsaparilla Is the
remedy for impure blood In all It's forms,
as proved by its marvellous cures of blood
diseases. II is ther fore the medicine for
you TO take in the spring. II expells all
humors, and puts the whole system in good
condition for warmer weather.

There Is more Catarrh in this section of

supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced il local disease,

stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and

Order Muzzling the Press.
GEN.. BLANCO'S BIRTHDAY
He Celebrated 1t in Advance - To Erect
a Magnificent Spanish Club-Anx-
iety Concerning the Re-
ain of Columbus.

Havana. Aug. 30.-La Lucha, COM
Senior Sagasta's intention to prevent
the cortes discussing the incidents and
results of the war and to forbid the
press to publish the parliamentary de-
bates, criticises this attitude strongly
and condemns Sagasta's "autocracy and
absolutism."
La Lucia says: The sultan Of Mo
rocco pales into insignificance In COM
parison with the Spanish premier. New
ertheless. IL must be admitted that in
the present state of affairs. Senior Sagas-
ta's policy of muzzling the country and
the press Is the only one that could pos
slbly succeed in maintaining the consofi-
dation and unity of the country"
Tomorrow will be General Blanco's
birthday. He celebrated It in dvanc
by a gift of 500 pesetas to be used in the
purchase Of food for distribution among
the local charitable Institutions His
generosity Is much applauded.
Havana business houses and private
citizens subscribed during the blockade
the sum of $500, 900 toward the improve
ment of the navy, but the opportunity
to utilize the fund in that way having
passed, a meeting was held yesterday to
consider appropriating the fund TO the
erection of a new and magnificent Span
ish club.
The Spanish papers are greatly agi-
tated as to the disposition of the re-
mains Of Columbus. and it is under
stood that the Duke of Veragua. the
only living descendant of the discoverer
of America, will request the privilege
of removing them from the Havana ca
thedral and carrying them back to
Spain. there to deposit them with the
remains of other illustrious S~paniards.
The general impression is that the re-
mains are not to be included in the
surrender.
Several insurgent leaders in the prov
ince of Pinar del Rio hav issued cir
cular guaranteeing law and order and
promising safety TO all who will return
to their fields and farms.
To-day the council Of secretaries re-
solved, in view of the customs house
regulations, not TO allow exemption
from duty the supplies brought on the
Comal, in charge of Captain Neil.
Neither has he n legal recourse to
such exemption. The Spanish colonial
authorities are willing to take charge
of the supplies and distribute them
themselves, paying duties on account of
the government at the avana customs
house.

prudent to allow the Spaniards to know
that a detachment of United States SOL

Death of the Samoan King Has

Washington, Aug. 30.-The state de-
partment has not yet been officially ad-
vised of the reported death Of King
Malietoa Of Samoa. and in all likelihood
must remain in official ignorance OF the
event for some time TO come, owing to
the slow means of communication at
the disposal Of the department. II IL
the general impression here that the
death OF the king will result in he
overthrow Of the present form of gov
eminent OF the islands, maintained Sc
IT is by the Joint action Of the United
States, Great Britain and Germany.
Official reports to the state depart
ment show that this government is :he
most expensive and unsatisfactory of
any in the world, having regard TO the
population OF the Samoan group. In
the capital city, Apia. there is main
tanned a triparte municipal government
of vast proportionate expense. while
the reports show that 90 rate-payeTs
are Obliged TO bear the entire cost.
For years the existing arrangements
for the government of the Samoan

of the three governments, yet II has
been continued for n a that

There are now indications that at least
one of the parties IL coming around TO
what was n favorite plan Of settlement
of the state department, namely, a dis
ruption of the present tripartite gov
eminent and an absolute division OF
the islands of the group between the
United States, Great Britain and Ger
many. The principal object of our
government has been to retain posses
sion Of n coaling or a full naval sta
ton In the islands. so as to afford a
base for naval operations in the vicin-
ity Of Australasia, as well as to in
sure an open port for the steamers on
the long voyage from San Francisco to
Australia. The United States now
holds title to some ground for a coaling
station at P~ago-Pago, on the island of
Tutuila.
This island is the least in size Of any
Of the group, but II is large enough 10
suppo a naval station. so hat II has
been the plan of the state department
10 acquire II as a mole in the event
Of the dissolution of the tripartite
agreement. BasinE the division of the
existing interests OF the three nations,
Germany. holding the largest interest,
would take the island second in size,
preforring the capital, Apia, while
Great Britain would secure the largest
of the group, but the second in com

among the first duties falling to Mr..
Hay. when he assume the office of
