Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Carmi, ILL.,, to the Bradfeld Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ga, the Proprie-
tors and manufacturers of Mothers
Friend" This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines ad-
vertised to do unreasonable things, but
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The 1iniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
yery hour of confinement. The earlier it
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during tile last month only with
great benefit and success.
It not only shortcns labor and lessons
the pain attending it. but greatly dinlin-
ishes the danger to life OF both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in con-
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.

but no report, no warning to the
Spaniards who were hiding in the
darkness. Thirty seconds later q
dull roar broke the silence of the
tropical night. Two hundred
pounds of gun-cotton had exploded
on the hillside below the battery.
The ships on the blockade line two
mile away shook with the explos-
ion. The firing of a 13-inch shell
is mere rifle crack compared to
the deep and mighty roar. Clouds
of earth thrown up from the hills
seems to stand out against the
black sky. Another package of
guncotton was dropped on the
other side of the battery and may
possibly have struck the torpedo
boats anchored below. Before the
echoes of the second died away the
Vesuvius sent a third charge hiss
ing out. 1t fell right on the brow
of the hill, where the battery
seemed to lie. The air was full of
earth and smoke covered the land
for half a mile. The Vesuvius
retired at a 16-knot rate. 1t is
regarded as highly satisfactory
and there is interest in the first
trial of the dynamite cruiser.

Immediately. Ensign Palmer, OF
the New York, went on board the
Vesurius with Lieutenant Comm

location of the batteries. A few
minutes from midnight the
Vesuvius was about half a mile
from the beach west of Ell Moro.
The oregon's searcb-light played
on the battery while the blacknose
of the cruiser pointed at the west
ward batteries. Lieutenant Com

Furman a Power for Good.

The commencements of Furman
University and the Greenville Fe-
male College were exceedingly
pleasant occasions from the bacca-
laureate sermons on Sunday to the
final exercises Thursday night
when FIVE young ladies graduated
from the Female College. This
Institution has passed through its
most successful session under
President Riley, 206 having been
enrolled this year. The annual
concert under Prof. G. Ferrata was
a splendid exhibition of the high
test order of music, and he ann
versary Of the Judson Literary
Society was a most interesting
entertainment.
Furman University graduated
fourteen young men and one young
lady. Miss McGee, OF Greenville.
The closing exercises Wednesday
night were presided over by Presi-
dent Montague, whose energy, tact,
wisdom and ability are doing so
much for Furman.
The Furman alumni have raised
$4,000 for the new alumni hall.
They will easily secure $4,000 ad-
ditional when Prof. Judson will
give $4,000 and the work of build
ing will begin immediately. Rev.
H. R. Moseley was reelected presi-
dent of the association. Furman
seems to have catered upon a new
era of prosperity and success.

Washington, June N.-The
administration today finally came
to a decision to send an American
squadron to the coast and into the
Mediterranean. Several times
since the war broke out rumOrs TO
this effect have circulated, but the
project had not matured, and it
required the Spanish movement
toward the Philippines by Cam
ara's squadron to decide the navy
department to adopt this bold
stroke. The first announcement
today through a bulletin posted
at the navy department of the gov
ernment's intention was received
with incredulity. There was a
suspicion that the story was being
foated to deceive the Spanish
government. However, when later
in the day the detail of the vessels
selected to constitute Com. Wat
sons Eastern fleet was announced
and official orders were given to
provision the fleet for four months,
it became apparent to the last
doubter that the government was
in earnest in this purpose to dis
patch the fleet to Europe. The
three vessels selected as colliers
have started already on their way
to Newport News to take on a
large supply of coal. 1t will require
about week to get this down to
Simpsons fleet, 80 if the,start is to
be made from that point it will
be impossible for Commodore
Watson to get away before the 4th
of July. This would seem to be an
auspicious date for the beginning
of an expedition that will, for the
first time in the worlds history,
start from the new world to attack
continental Europe.
No attempt is made to deny that

ordering this movement by a de-
sire to check the progress eastward
of the Cadiz feet. 1t was not be-
lieved that the Spanish admiral
could be guilty of the folly of un-
covering his home ports in this
fashion; utinasmuch as he seems
determined to do so, the naval
strategists could not do less than
take advantage of the magnificent
opportunity thus afforded to strike
a crushing blow at Spain and
thereby perhaps save much time
and loss of life and money in the
conduct of the tedious campaign
in Cuba.
The determination to send this
squadron against Spain was the
outcome of direct official advices
reaching the state and navy de-
partments as to the progress OF
Admiral Camara's squadron. These
advices give a list of the Spanish
ships now nearing the Suez Canal,
which differs somewhat from the
list given in the press dispatches
and by Lloyds. The official list is
as follows: Pelayo, Carlos V, Au-
daz, Odasa, Prosperina, Patricia,
Rapido. Buenos Ayres, Isla de
Paney, Colon, Covar 1onga and
San Francisco. The additional
information comes from official
sources that this squadron is at
Port Said, and expects to lake on
board 10000 tons of coal before en-
tering the Suez Canal. Such a
heavy loading will take some time.
1t discloses also that the admiral
expects to make a long sail, and is
doubtless headed for the Philip
pines, a point which the officials
here doubted at first. This squad
ron is the most formidable Spain
has foated, in total tonnage,
strength of individual ships, armor
and guns.

with Generals Garcia, Rabl and

miles west of Santiago. These
officers were unanimously of the
opinion that landing should be
made east of Santiago. 1 had
come to same conclusion. General

Juragua City tomorrow, with be-
tween $4,000 and 1000, who will
be- brought from west of Santiago

give me between 1000 and 5000
Cubans and leave 1000 under
General Rabl to threaten Santiago

division is being disembarked
this afternoon at Juragua City,
and will be continued during the
night. The assistance of the navy
has been of the greatest benefit
and enthusiastically given; with
out them I could not have landed
in 10 days, and perhaps not at all,

many boats in the surf. At present
want nothing; weather has been
good, no rain on land and prospects

"Yankees."

ST was a rebel when I lost these
glasses; I'm a Yankee now."
This was the comment of ex-
Senator Butler, now a major
general Of United States volun-
teers, when he recovered one day
a pair of field glasses that he had
lost on the battlefield of Brandy
station in 1S63-where he also lost
leg.
Well, that settles a point which
majority of Americans have been
contesting with more or less-lately
with less-energy for hundred
years. All Americans are Yankees
now.
Nearly three hundred years ago
the northern Indians, trying to
say "Anglais," as they had heard
the French call the French call the
Enlish, corrupted the word into
Yankee" The New York Dutch
gave the name to the English
eolonists of Connecticut, and
among Americans south and west
of New England the term was
applied only to down casters until
the middle of this century, when
the south applied it to all norther-
nsrs.
England first applied the term
to all people of the United States.
we might have withheld our political
noodles
From knocking their heads against
hot Yankee Doodles-
wrote Moore early i'll the century,
But now the contest is ended.
When an ex-confederate general
announces himself Q Yankee the
term at once and forever is invested
with Il new and authoritative
meaning and becomes applicable to
any citizen who acknowledges as
his flag the Red, White and Blue
New York World.
