had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was so weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered so much
that she became but the shadow of her
self. One day 1 happened to read tes-
timonial about Hoods Sarsaparilla. Il

Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles of Hoods Sarssparilla and
several boxes of Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best

Spokane, June 27.-This afternoon Cap
tain Adams, the recruiting officer of the
First Washington volunteers, Sergeants
Corey, Stringer and Rawson, and "a en-,
listed men started for San Francisco to
join Companies A and J. of this regiment.
Sergeant Childs has been quite sick since
he arrived in the city and was not able to
accompany the boys, but hopes to be able
to 90 tomorrow or the next day. He, like
the other boys of the regiment, was vac
cinated since they arrived in san Fran
cisco, and his arm has not healed, but
has given him a fever. Last night he
was delirious a good part of the time.
The soldiers who left Spokane today
make more than 200 men whom Spokane
has contributed to the present war. They
are all good, strong, healthy looking men
and will make excellent soldiers, Most
of them come from the two military COM
panies of the city the one at the head of
which is Captain Lyons and the other the
Sons of Veterans company.

Reinforce Puerto Rico.


Washington, June 29.--General Shafter
has just reported to General Miles that he
can take Santiago in As hours, but indl-
Gates that the undertaking might involve
considerable loss. He is aware of the APP
proach of Spanish reinforcements, and 1t
is believed that he intends to take the
town Immediately and that news of the
battle may be expected at any time.
General Shafter has shown two import
ant factors in the campaign First, he
expects to take the city as soon as he gets
ready to move and that he will not wait
for reinforcements. Second, that the
Spanish achievements, numbering 5000.
accompanied by pack trains and large
droves of animals, are advancing from
Manzanilo to the front at Santiago and
are now "a miles from that city.
A number of dispatches have been re-
ceived from Shafter covering all the de-
tails of the situation.
