Does Baby
T hrive?

If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.

not be fought for two or:three days.
Col. Wood, Of the Rough Riders, is re-

or not he was killed in Fridays fight. Gen.

that twenty. two were killed in the engage

were killed were buried in long trench on |

were terminated this afternoon without
any definite results. The Agnew COM
mlttee replied to the third proposition

was emphatic in its fiat that the essen
tiai steps toward the restoration e.
peace was the abandonment by Col

the State, and on this rock the hopes
for peace were dashed to pieces.
congressman Walker, Wise, Thorp

committees, advising them the points
OF difference be referred to Chairman
Babcock, Of the congressional COM
mlttee. but the Agnew executive CON-
mittee replied that the arbitration of

be acceptable. General Walker was

MILES FOR SANTIAGO.

Washington June 4.-Secretary Alge
officially announced this morning that Gen
eral Miles would command the next expedi
tion to Santiago.
Washington, June est is stated on the
best authority that the president, after care.
full consideration, has decided not to grant
General Miles request to be sent to Santi-
ago. In the judgment Of the president, Gen
eral Shafter is entitled to all the credit that
may result from the campaign.
The honors are naturally coveted for the
reason that they may result, as the Dewey
achievement in substantial promotion for
the officer highest in command General
Miles however. will soon leave on tour of
and eventually will see Porto
Rico.

OF the regular army OF Spain. 1t will

1t will be remarkable if they shall not

TO CARRY THE
VAR 10 SPAIN.

Washington, June 27.-The Navy
Department at 11:15 o'clock posted the
| following bulletin
Commodore Watson sails to-day in
| Newark to join Sampson, when he will
take under his command an armorcd
squadron with cruisers and proceed at
once off the Spanish coast"
Com odore Watson's squadron is
designated the Eastern squadron, and
is as follows:
Flagship Newark, battle-ships Iowa
and Oregon, cruisers Dixie, Yosemite
and Yankee, and the Golfers Scendia,
Aberenda and Alexander. The start
will be made at once from off Santiago.
ELL-coNsIDERED PLAN.
The decision of the Administration to
send squadron of warships to Spain
was not made hastily. For the pastsix
weeks the matter has been under con-
sideratiOn and strong element, well
acquainted with the practice of the
Spanish Government of keeping the
great mass Of thepublic ignorant of the
actual state of affairs has contended
that the only method of bringing the
war home to the people of Spain would
be to send an American squadron there
to harrass the coast, carry off ship
ping and lombard fortified towns.
The purpose was to bring the Spanish
people to realizing sense of the hope
lessness of continuing the present strug-
gle. Since the departure of the Cadiz
fleet for the Philippines, there is an
other object in view in addition to the
first. This is to destroy or capture this
Cadiz fleet by bold stroke and then to
take up the work of harasahg the Span
ish at home, provided that pw does
not suffice to bring about pdS&.
DESIGNATION OF DIVISIONS.
The bulletin also showed the follow
ing changes in designation of the di-
visions of our war vessels:
