Deafness Can Not be Culed

by local applications as they can not reach the
diseased portion Of the ear, There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by conStitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube, When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces,
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send fol

The MONTEREY % SAL
Ordered to Join Dewey
at Manila.
SEAGOING QUALITIES GOOD

Monitor VIII Greatly Strengthen the
Asintic Squadron - small Bunker
Room May Make 1t Necessary for q
Collier to Accompany Her.
Washington, May 24.-The news
event OF the day at the navy depart.
ment vas the order to the Monterey to
proceed to Manila to reinforce Ad-
miral Dewey's squadron. The Mon
terey is a tower of strength in herself,
and her addition to Admiral Dewey's
force, together with the dispatch of
thousands OF troops to Manila, is sample
evidence that the administration has
assumed no half-hearted attitude to-
ward the Philippine question, and is
determined to take no chance of dispos.
session until such time as the United
States itself has arranged for the dispo-
sition of the islands.
The Monterey is probably the most
formidable monitor in the world, vet
she combines with the enormous offen-
sive and defensive qualities of a mont
tor a se~aworthiness that is almost phe-
nomenal. The Monterey is described
technically as a barbette -turret, low
freeboard monitor OF 1000 tons dis
placement. She is 256 feet long by 90
feet beam, and IA feet 6 inches deep.
She carries in two t~urrets, surrounded
by barbettes, two 12-inch and two TO-
inch guns, while in her superstructure
between the turrets are mounted six g.
Founders, four 1-pounders and two gat-
lings. The turrets are ~ and 8
inches thick, and the surrounding bar
bettes are IA inches and liz inches
thick, and against the armor all the
batteries in Manila might thunder
away without effecting an entrance.
The MontereY's personnel is 10
officers and 172 men, and once she is
in the entrance OF Manila harbor, moth
ing in the shape of a navy would be
likely to bulge her from her position.
Her dispatch may have an important
bearing upon the intention of the Spar
lsh government, SO openly published,
of sending reinforcements to Manila.
The only doubt as to the feasibility
OF sending the Monterey is her small
coal capacity. She has bunker room
for only 200 tons of coal, and, though
more might be stored on her decks, it Is
doubtful whether she could, at tie
most, carry more than enough coal TO
take her to Honolulu, one-third of the
way to the Philippines. 1t is prob
able that the Monterey will go in con.
voy, and, after exhausting the coal that
she will take on in Honolulu, she must
either be towed about 1900 miles Of
her trip. or perform the difficult opera.

ORDERED TO LEAVE
Senior Polo Fakes His Departure From
Montreal.

New York, May PA special to
the Herald from Montreal says: 1t
has not been possible for Spain to post
pone the departure of Senior Polo y Ber-
nabe any longer. Today he sails with
all his staff by the steamer Dominion
for Liverpool. Senior Polo went on
board the steamer last night, and will
60 from Liverpool to Madrid. He says
that though he was detained here for
some time on business, he respected the
declaration of neutrality and left this
country voluntarily.
He leaves behind, however, the
Spanish consul to try to continue
gathering information for the Spanish
relative to the United States military
movements. The authorities are
closely watching the consul, and he
will be promptly placed under arrest if
the slightest deviation from the neu-
trality laws is detected.
Senior Polo y Bernabe has been loud
in his declarations that no official pro-
test has been lodged against his pro-
ceedings here, but he now practically
admits that he was requested to return
to Madrid, for it was learned last night
from an unimpea.hable source that the
Canadian government advised his de-
parture.
Owing to the diplomatic fiction that
such questions are not dealt with by the
Canadian cabinet, it was possible for
our secretary OF state to say that the
government did not interfere. The &C.
ton was taken by the governor-general,
who is the queens direct representative
here, and who as such is supposed to,
but never does, act without the II
ton of the cabinet.
Captain Garranza, who left the CITY
Immediately after Downing's arrest, is.
according to statements Of some men,
bers Of Senior Polo's staff, to be sent to
the Philippines with a relief expedi-
ton. Other Spaniards, however, say
Garranza went to Madrid with very i'm
portant papers, and will endeavor to
join Cervera's fleet or the fleet which
expects to call at Miquelon.

ONE TRANSPORT GONE.

Chicago, May PA special from
Macon, Ca, says: Unless some acct
dent has b~efallen the United States
transport Florida, there are now many
volunteer troops on the island of Cuba,
or they will be there within a few
hours. From accurate information OBJ
tanned here, today, it can be stated as a
fact that the first expedition toward
Cuban soil has started, and the outlook
is for a successful trip.
Wednesday the United States trans
port Florida left Port Tampa, with sew
eral hundred volunteer troops on board.
The passengers belonged to the regi.
ment OF Cuban volunteers organized in
the lower extremity of Florida some
weeks ago. 1t was thought best to
send these men, as they speak Spanish
and are more acquainted with the top
ography OF the country which it is pro-
posed to invade. 1t cannot be learned
what United States officers accom-.
panied the regiment OF volunteers. II
this expedition is a success, other
troops will be rushed into the island as
soon rs possible.
