tilities with even so weak country as Spaln, and an immediate advance on Cuba was out of the question. Moved by the criticisms of the press Secretary Alger promises to make statement regarding the delay in starting the army of occupation which will show the immense am ount of work the war department has done and the magnitude of the task which confronted it when wa" was declared. He declares, however, that in less time than fortnight the entire army, regulars and vol unteers, will be thoroughly armed aud equipped and ready for active war service. This is in effect an admission that at the time war was declared the government did not have on hand sufficient equipment to enable it's little standing army ol 25, 900 men to take the field, al thongh a year ago the whole country knew that war with Spain over the Cuban question was inevitable and yet there were no prepara- tions for it.

Gen. Aiger's Statement.

The Chicago Chronicle very properly takes issue with those who hold to the opinion that the war will end as soon as the United States troops invade Cuba and cap. ture the city of Santiago de Cuba. The Chronicle has this to say about the matter:
 'The Spanish fleet under Cevera will be eliminated from the contest But the Spanish warships are al ready rendered powerless. The strategists wanted us to believe that the sinking of the Merrimac at the harbor entrance was the final turning of the key of imprisonment. We may now sink or destroy Ger vera's warships and plant the stars and stripes on Santiagos strong hold, but what then2
 i've will have captured one out of several fortified cities on the is- land of Cuba. From strategical point of view it will not even be an important capture, save for the de- struction Of the Spanish fleet, which was already powerless without the army Of invasion.
 ssIf we are still to attack Havana the plans of invasion must proceed on practically the same lines as if Santiago were not holding one of our armies of occupation. The Ha- vana defences have been vastly strengthened by the delay of the last six weeks aud Blanco is pre- pared to make stouter resistance than ever before. If we approach Havana from the land side, formin 2 functions with the insurgents foI that purpose, we will encounter the deadliest portion of the rainy sea- son unless the attack is postponed until autum. If We lombard Ha eana with the strongest vessels O our fleet we tardily follow the com mon sesse plan that was as feasible at the beginning of the war as now
 'sThe fact cannot be disputed thai the war will be prolonged for six mocths and perhaps year, as a re suit of the failure of this govern ment to deal a crushing and decisive blow in Cuba within ten days after war had been declared, but this was not done for the reason, which Secretary Alger now admits, the country was not prepared for hos

Farmer Hopkins Evidence.
He TELLS ABOUT The SUFFERING Of HIS
DAUGHTER.
A Victim of Nervous Prostitution and Neuralgia.
Saved After Her Physician Abandoned Hope
From the Republican, Columbus. Ind.

While in the neighborhood of Rugby,
Indiana recently, reporter was told that
Miss Clara Hopkins, daughter of Mr.. Dennis
Hopkins, prominent farmer of Bartho-
lomew County, had been the subject of a
remarkable transformation. The reporter
decided to investigate and learn the par
ticulars. He was driven TO Mr.. Hopkins
splendid country home, where he had an
interesting conversation with that gentleman
regarding the illness ofhis only daughter.
You have been correctly informed, said
Mr.. Hopkins, for Clara has indeed had
severe siege. She tried DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and they did her more
good than all other medicines together that she
ever took. A few boxes of that medicine
accomplished the cure of case in few
months which had baff'ed physicians for
years.
About three years ago her health began
20 fail. The doctor who attended her said this
was caused by weak digestion This produced
nervousness, which was accompanied by neu-
ralgic troubles which at first was located in
the nerves about the heart. OF course this
was dangerous location for any such trouble
and she rapidly grew worse, Notwithstanding
that the physician was treating her. This
continued till year ago last November, at
which time she was almost constantly confined
TO her bed.
"The neuralgia became gradually worse,
and finally she was confirmed victim to il.
Nervous prostration set in, and she was
soon all run down. Her blood was impure

and watery, and ner complexion became sal.
low and cOlorless. She had no strength, and
the least noise irritated her, she was so ner-
vous. We had another physician, and he
treated her steadily for year without doing
her any good. In fact, il seemed that she
was continually becoming worse. He finally
gave up the case as hopeless, and advised
US to get DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People for her, as he said that they were the
only thing that would benefit her.
81 procured couple of boxes of the pills,
and found that their use helped her con-
siderably. She kept on taking them till she
used about dozen boxes, with the result
that she was entirely well and since then
there has been no symptoms whatever, of her
old trouble DIR. Williams Pink Pills are
certainly wonderful medicine, which did a
wonderful good in Clara's case, doing what
several physicians failed to accomplish"
All the elements necessary TO give new life
and richness to the blood and restore shatter-
ed nerves are contained, in a condensed
form, in DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. They are also specific for trou-
bles peculiar to females, such as suppress
sions irregularities and all forms of weak
ness. In men they effect a radical cure
in all eases arising from mental worry,
overwork or excuses Of whatever nature.
Or. Williams Pink Pills are sold in boxes
never in loose bulk at 30 cents a box or six
boxes for $3.50, and may be had of all drug
gists, or direct by mail from DR.. Williams'
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

RAMSEY CREDITORS ARE LEFT
viii Not Get Dollar Out of Their Losses
in the Failed Bank.

Carlyle, Ills. March H. - The last
thread that connected the creditors OF
the defunct Ramsey bank with their
lost thousands of dollars probably has
been broken decision was rendered
in the appellate court at Mount Vernon
yesterday afternoon which virtually de-
feats them in their legal battle with the
ten Chicago bondsmen of the state treas
urer OF Illinois.
Last evening NJ. p. Murray received
a telegram stating that the Wilbeck
case had been reversed and remanded.
This means that the controversy in
court undoubtedly will cease. as the peo-
pie who lost their money in the bank
have grown tired of the two years OF
litigation.

would preclude his acceptance OF the
Democratic nomination for congress.
He declares against the gold standard,
but says free coinage by this nation
alone at the ratio of 16 to | would be an
evil even worse. He renews his plan
for the issuance of legal tender notes
based on deposits of gold and silver
bullion at the market value.

WITH THE ARMY OF THE MISSISSIPPI
Brilliant Services at Corinth-Army in a
Mighty Bad Way.

Halleck finally placed Rosecrans in
command of the right wing of the Army
of the Mississippi shortly after the
Confederates evacuated Corinth and
were at once pursued by Rosecrans
June 13 Rosecrans was placed i'm COM
mand of the Army of the Mississippi.
Sept. Is. according to an agreement be-
tween General Rosecrans and Grant, an
engagement was begun at Jacinto with
the purpose of capturing or dslodging
General Price, who had effected a
lodgment in Iuka. Grant failed 10 CO.
operate through some cause. and there
was hot fight. which resulted in the
flight OF the Confederates. Later, how
ever, finding that he could not unaided
cope successfully with the enemy. after
having followed them for twenty-five
miles he returned to Corinth.
On the Sd of October the battle Of
Corinth began. On the 4th the Confed-
crates were disastrously defeated
They were pursued forty miles
in force and sixty miles with cavalry.
General Rosecrans then re-estabished
his headquarters at Corinth, where he
remained until Oct. 90, when. by an or
placed in command OF the Army of the
Cumberland. II is the unanimous tes-
timony of all survivors that that army
was at it's worst in October. 1862, and
the same might be said of all the Fed
eral armies. One item is enough to
show the condition. The number of de-
serters from the western armies alone
was 81, 900 at the close of that year
1t is also the general testimony that
the arrival of General Rosecrans seemed
10 send thrill OF fresh energy through
his command. Advance was soon in or
der and the battle of Murfreesboro
made the commanding general the hero
of the nation for time The critics
are still fighting over Chickamauga. 1t
ended General Rosecrans' chance for
honors OF war In 1866 he was mustered
out OF the volunteer service and re-
signed with the army in 1867. In 1869
he was United States minister to
Mexico. In 1880 he was elected to con-
gress from California and reelected in
1882. In 1883 President Cleveland ap-
pointed him register OF the treasury.
and that Office ne held till his death.
In religion General Rosecrans was
devout Roman Catholic: in politics an
unwavering Democrat.
Arrangements are being made to have
a public funeral for General Rosecrans,
in which all the military bodies of this
city and section will participate. A re-
quest will be made to have the body
lie i'm state I'm the city hall until the
funeral This body is now i'm this city.
