None of the appointments to Gov.
Smiths staff is hailed with greater salts
faction throughout the state than that of
Capt Frank Il. Greene of st AlbaEs as
aide de camp with the rank of colonel. III
making the appointment Gov. Smith has
recognized the newspaper fraternity and
the 1st Vermont regiment. Capt Greene
is recognized as one Of the brightest young
newspaper workers In the state. In the
trying period of camp life at Chickamauga
nc officer of the LIST regiment was more
popular than CsQt. Greene, The men of
his own company were particularly al
taehed to him, and the company was the
only one from Vermont, and perhaps the
only Oae in the park which never had a
man ia the guard house. Capt. Greene
has been critically i'll with fever since his
return from ChickaRsuga, and 1t Is good
news to his many friends to know that he
is now recovering.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-The war de-
partment has received the following:
"MANILA, Aug. 1S, via Hong Kong,
Aug. 1S.-On August Dewey Joined
me in a 48 hour notification to the
Spanish commander to remove the non
combatants from the city. On the same
date a reply was received, expressing
thanks for the humane sentiments ex-
pressed and stating that the Spanish
were without place of refuge for non
combatants now within the walls of the
town.
"On August 9 We sent joint note in
viting attention to the suffering in store
for the sick and poncom batants In case
it became our duty to reduce the de-
fences, also setting forth the hopeless
condition of the Spanish forces, sur
rounded on all sides, the feet in front,
with no prospect of reinforcements, and
demanded the surrender as due to every
consideration of humanity. On the
same date we received reply admitting
the situation, but stating the council of
defense declared the request for eurren-
der would not be granted, but offered to
consult the government if the time nee
essary for communication via Hong
Kong were granted. We sent Joint
note in reply declining.
"On August 13 joined with the navy
in an attack on the city. After about
half an hours accurate shelling of the
Spanish lines, McArthur's brigade on
the right and Greene's on the left under
Anderson, advanced in a vigorous at
tack and carried the Spanish works.
"Our loss is not accurately known, but
is about so in all. The behavior of the
troops was excellent. The cooperation
of the navy was most valuable. The
troops advanced rapidly on the walled
city, upon which white flag was
shown, and the town capitulated. The
troops occupied Malate, Binondo, and
the walled city of San Miguel. All our
centers are protected. The insurgents
are quiet. No disorder or piilage.

serve Order.

WASHINGTON, Aug, 1s.-Dispatches of
Importance were were received and con-
sidered at the war department today.
Immediately after the arrival of Alger at
the department he had a consultation
with CorbIn. The conference was a
protracted one. They were considering
the dispatches received from Merritt and
from Santiago.
Conditions at Santiago are causing a
great deal of uneasiness, and troops will
be ordered there very soon. Already
orders have been issued directing the
Fifth regular infantry to proceed to Sam
tiago. Inquiries have been made as to
the condition of the immune regiments
which have not yet sailed, with view
of sending them to Santiago.
The government intends to take yigor-
ous measures to preserve peace and
keep order at Santiago and the territory
under United States control. The en-
phatic order issued to Lawton a few
days ago will be followed by orders
sending enough disciplined troops to
enable him to carry out the Instructions
of the secretary. As a further step in
this direction, the president today di-
rected that the Twenty-third Kansas
regiment, colored, be dispatched to San
tiago, to form an army of occupation in
Cuba.

Deafness Cannot De.Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
taehian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by HALLS Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.
