There's arrow on in congress between
the respective friends of Schley and
Sampson, over the resolution Offering
thanks to Schley for the victory at
Santiago. SIMPSONS friends look
upon the resolution as a snub, and
point out that he is entitled to the
honor because he was in command of
the fleet. Schley's friends point to
the San Juan and Guantanamo fail
ures, and the Merrimac incident as an
unwarranted risk of the lives of brave
men. Schley's ship, the Brooklyn,
was the first to rush at the Spanish
ships when they came out of the har-

ships had been sunk and destroyed.

rance, Providence, R. L. He says:
"For several years l have been al
most constant sufferer from diarr-
hoea, the frequent attacks COM

me unfit for my duties at this hotel.

result has been very satisfactory and
almost complete relief from the
afiiction." For sale by all druggists.
