"When three months old, my little
daughter had eruptions on her face. |
was obliged to keep her hands tied at
night and it was necessary to watch her
during the day. She would scratch her
self whenever she got the chance, until
her clothes would be covered with blood.
We concluded to try Hoods Sarsaparilla,
because I had great faith in it, and after
awhile we could see that she was getting
better. People often asked How did
that child burn her face?' and they said
she would certainly be left with scars, but
she was not. 1t is now year since she
was cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla and her
face is as smooth and white and soft

ence at the Spanish foreign ministry on
Thursday last with Senior Gullon, min

of the ministry for foreign affairs, who
acted as interpreter. Senior Gullon ex-
pressed the desire of the Spanish gov
eminent that General Lee be recalled
las proof of the good will of the United
States" General Woodford cabled
immediately to Washington on the
subject and the reply of the United

GOES TO HAVANA
Cruiser Montgomery Ordered
to Sail at Once.
WILL RELIEVE THE FERN THERE
Latter to Garry Supplies to the Starv-

Sagua la Grande.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The navy
department has announced that the
cruiser Montgomery will relieve the
dispatch boat Fern at Havana, and
that the Fern will carry provisions and
relief supplies to Matanzas and Sagua
Ia Grande.
The Fern is dispatch boat without
heavy armament or guns, although she
belongs to the navy and is technically
a naval vessel AS she comes as near
being transport as anything in our
naval service her selection will accord
with the Spanish suggestion that a
transport or merchant ship undertake
this carriage of relief supplies.
The sending of the Montgomery to
Havana is primarily intended to re-
place the Fern, which is now at Ha-
vana. The Montgomery is an un.
armored cruiser of 2,OS9 tons, with an
armament of 10 guns, and carries 228
men.
The Montgomery will be the first
United States warship at Havana since
the Maine disaster.

reference to committee. Some of the
members of the committee on appropri-
ations expressed themselves as satisfied
to have the measure take this course,
others are of the opinion that none Of
the effect Of the measure will be lost to
have the bill referred and reported in
