AS heretofore indicated by Gen.
Shafter and the medical officers of his

from three days to a week and then
return to duty quite as we'll as ever.
The question of returning a large part
of Gen. Skaters command to this
country for rest and recuperation was
under consideration by the war Off

SKILL OF DOCTORS TESTED.
Fifteen Years of Suffering.
81 thought should surely die"

When the stomach begins to fail in
its duties, other organs speedily become
affected in sympathy, and life is simply a
burden almost unbearable. Indigestion
and dyspepsia are SO common that only
the sufferer from these diseases knows
the possibilities of misery that inhere in
them. A typical example of the sufferings
of the victim of indigestion is furnished
in the case of John c. Pritchard. He went
on for fifteen years. from bad to worse.
In spite of doctors he grew constantly
weaker, and thought he would die. He
got we'll, however, ard thus relates his
experience:
"For fifteen years was great sufferer
from indigestion in its worst forms. I
tested the skill of many doctors, but grew
worse and worse, until I became SO weak
could not walk fifty yards without having
to sit down and rest. My stomach. liver.
and heart became affected, and thought I
would surely die. 1 tried DR.. J. c. Ayers
continued their use and am now entirely
we'll. I don't know of anything that will
SO quickly relieve and cure the terrible
sufferings of dyspepsia as Dr.. Ayers
Pills."-JoHN c. PRIrcHARD, Brodie, War

PLANS AGAINST HAVANA.
Will Move Against tho Cuban
MetroDolia.

Washington. July 26.-Not short of
ten weeks, probably 1e weeks, will the
campaign against Havana be begun,
but when the time comes to move it is
confidently anticipated the expedition
will be SO complete in all its parts,
and so formidable in its efficiency that
the brilliant success will perch upon
its banners in the briefest possible
period. From IS, 600 to 100, 900 troops
will probably compose the invading
army. The demonstration will be so
overwhelming in point of strength as
to give no hope or excuse for pro-
tracted resistance. The army will be
supported by feet whose task will
be the reduction of the forts
which encircle Havana. Weak
ened by hunger, dispirited by
continued reverses, the Spanish
troops, it is believed. will be only too
glad to surrender to superior forces,
and Blanco will not hesitate to offer
his sword to Fitzhugh Lee, who, it is
understood, is to have the honor of re-
ceiving it. The president hopes to
send message to congress in Deem
Der announcing the end of the war.

IT WAS A FAKE.
6hafter Denies Report That Garcia At
tackled Spaniard> Who Were About
to Surrender.

Santiago de Cuba, July 26.-The 1000
Spanish soldiers at Guantanamo laid
down their arms yesterday. The $3.50
from Palma Soriano. San Luis and
Longo surrendered Sunday to Lieut..
Miley, and yesterday pack trains with
provisions were sent to them. The
only others included in the capitula-
ton are 1000 troops at Baracoa and
LOCO at Sagua- They have not yet
been turned over, but they are no
where in Gen. Garcia's vicinity. He
was at Jiguany yesterday, and reached
there without encountering any Span
iards- Gen. Shafter authorizes an
absolute contradiction of the report
that Garcia encountered a force of
Spaniards who were returning to San
tiago to surrender and was defeated
by them.

special to the Journal says: Admiral
SIMPSONS official report is statement
of the facts connected with the de-
struction of the Spanish fleet. It is
made up of reports from Commodore
Schley; Capt. Evans, of the Iowa; Capt.
Clark, of the Oregon; Capt Taylor, of
the Indiana; Capt Philip, of the Tex
as, and Commander Wainwright, of the
Gloucester. Commodore Schley is eulo-
gized in the reports for his prompt dis
position of the fleet in the emergency.
and for his GOODNESS and daring during
the fight. In this respect he will be
given a larger share of the praise than
any of the captains of the battleships-
Capt. Evans, of the Iowa; Capt. Tay-
lor, of the Indiana, and Capt. Philip,
of the Texas, are praised in high
terms. Capt Clark, of the Oregon, re-
ceived marked praise for the manner
in which his ship was handled and
the efficiency of his fire. Com
mander Wainwright, Of the auxil-
larry cruiser Gloucester, is most
hi ghly complimented and recommend
ed for promotion. Admiral Sampson
says that the destruction of the Pluton
and Terror by the Gloucester was one
of the most remarkable events in naval
warfare. The report at some length
compliments the men of the fleet and
mentions in particular a number of
commissioned officers who were con-
spicuous for their GOODNESS during the
fight. The rescue of the Spanish sail
ors after the battle was over was also
dwelt upon.
