A DIPLOMATIC VICTORY

Washington, May 24.-Information
has reached here from Canton, China
that through the efforts of United
States Consul Bedloe a revision has
been secured of the Transit Pass rules
which will prove of great benefit 10
importers. Hitherto it was obiea.
tory that all goods forwarded from
port to an inland market under cover
of transit pass should reach intact
the destination stated in the pass on
penalty of confiscation. BY the new
rules, however, foreign goods covered
by transit pass or any part of them
may be sold in transit for a more
profitable inland market, the only re-
ouirement eXacted being that the pass
shall contain an entry under seal
showing the quantity sold. The Hong
Kong Telegraph, an English newspa-
per. in commenting upon Consul Bed
ioes achievement, which is regarded
as of the highest commercial import
ance. says it is a triumph of United
States diplomacy.

Reports Regarding the Sighting of the
Spanish Phantom Fleet-The Dandy
at Montego Bay.

Copyright, Associated Press.)
On Board the Associated Press Dis
patch Boat Dandy, Montego Bay,
Jamaica, May 24.-The waters south of
Cuba have suddenly become the scene
of great naval activity. Commodore
Schley, who left Key West last Thurs
day with the battleships Massachu-
sets and Texas, the armored cruiser
Brooklyn and the armc-ed yacht Scor-
pion, is believed to be cruising off
Cienfuegos and Santiago de Cuba.
When the Dandy left Key West last
Friday morning Admiral Sampson was
still there. 1t was the opinion of naval
officers that he would sail for Glen
fuegos soon by the eastern route, the
two fleets thus completing the circle
of Cuba.
The battleship Iowa followed Com
modore Schley on Friday, but was
overtaken off Cape San Antonio on
Saturday by the torpedo boat Dupont
with secret instructions. The battle
ship Immediately increased her speed
to the limit and when last seen was
guarding the entrance to the passage
between the Isle of Pines and Cuba.
The Dupont rushed on toward Glen
fuegos.
Five British warships are now in the
vicinity of Jamaica. The Spanish
1,2OO ton passenger steamer Purisima
Conception is here. She is afraid to
venture out. The numerous runners
as to the sighting of the phantom
Spanish feet in this vicinity are quite
unsubstantiated.

AT CHICKAM AUGA.
The Day Spent Drilling the Troops
and Preparing Them for the
Actual War Experience Soon Ex-

Chickamauga National Park, Ga,
May 24.-There are now $4,000 men in
the volunteer army under the tents at
this point, and the officers of the army
expect that by Saturday night there
will be $4,000.
The day at the park was unmarked
by any incident except the battle drill
of the first division of the First corps.
The movements were under command
of Gen. Wilson, and the men were put
through the exercises in a very thor
ough manner. The regiments of the
division have been in camp long
enough to have become somewhat
Injured to the climate as well as the
work, and the manoeuvres were char
acterized by great energy, accuracy and
remarkable precision.
Gen. Breckenridge and staff to-day
continued the inspection of the First
division of the corps. He found the
hospital facilities still inadequate, but
so far there are very few sick, and they
are being cared for at st. Vincent's hos
pital of the Sisters of Charity. He
states that in a very short time, the
hospital department will be In good
condition.
A sham battle for practice will be
fought tomorrow.

NO DAY-DREAMS!
We Live iu a Real World. Let Us Have the
Real Truth,

A tonic has been described by DR.. A. E
Budger, of London. as a therapeutics
day-dream, a scientific absurdity Merely
to lash sickly body into spasmodic
activity to be followed by utter exhaus-
ton is the worst medical practice in the
world But nine patients out of ten
cling to their Illusions, and when the col
lapse comes they attribute it to almost
every cause on earth but the right one.
There is no real strength except in di-
gested food; the problem is to get the
food digested If the stomach is tired,
along with the rest of the body it cannot
turn the food over and over so as to ex-
pose every part of it to the action of the
gastric juice. The victuals will lie and
rot unless the stomach gets help. For
this purpose a whiskey of undoubted
purity is ordered by the most enlightened
physicians. Some of the stuff sold as
whskey is utterly unfit to be swallowed,
and no sane man would put it into his
stomach If he knew what it was made of:
Duffys Pure Malt Whiskey has stood
the most severe tests by chemists and is
endorsed by physicians.
You cannot safely trif1e with your di-
gestion. If you feel sense of weight
and fullness after eating, you need the
help that DuTy's Pure Malt Whskey
never fails to give in turning bread and
meat into bone, blood and muscle

ONE CABLE
Still Connects Blanco With the Out
side World-May Soon Be Cut.

Washington, d. c., May Palate
this afternoon it was ascertained that
the cable from Santiago that was cut
by the American warship st. Louis was
not the line controlled by the French
company running from Santiago to
Hayti through Guantanamo, but one OF
the two English cables running from
Santiago south to Jamaica. This in
formation was communicated to the
officials of the government by Mr.
Lurienne, the general agent of the
French Cable Company in the United
States. Gen. Blanco, therefore, is not
isolated from the rest of the world but
can still communicate with the home
government by either the French
cable going to Hayti or the English
one running to jamaica.
