There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment
Hall Catarrh Cure. manufactured by
F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonfuI. 1t acts directly

located his batteries SO that half of the
entrenchments row occupied by the
Spaniards will be untenabie ten min
utes after the Americans open fire.
Every thing on the firing line is now
ready for the commencement of hos
tilities in case the Spanish general do
not surrender.
The dynamite gun, which has been
in position for several days, is now in
better working order than at the time
OF the battle of San Juan, and it is
predicted that its changes, consisting
of twenty pounds of gurcotton and
gelatine, will work havoc in the Span
ish trenches when it opens fire.
Twelve motars in one battery are
mounted and ready for use, and they
are relied upon to do effective work in
Smelling the city. Three batteries OF
artillery are now posted on Ell Paso
Ridge, 2,400 yards from the town, and
the Capron and Grimes batteries are
fifteen hundred yards to the north Of
the road in the rear of General Law
toms division. In firing the field guns
will be compelled to shell tie town
over the heads Of our own men, but
the artillery officers say it can be done
safely and without injury to our sol
diers. The dynamite gun has been so
placed that it will be able to enfilade
several of the Spanish lines.
On the other hand, during the truce
the Spaniards have not been idle.
They have been mounting guns. and
some of these are Of much heavier
caliber than any the American army
can bring into play. Some of their
guns are of antiquated pattern and
not capable OF much damage, but 9th
ers are different and capable of excel
lent work.
One seven-inch gun, which had so
perfect range during the battle of
San Juan, of many ridges occupied by
the American troops, has been located
with especial care by the American
gunners.
When hostiiities are opened by the
bombardmen5 great things ale expect

is quoted throughout the army as say

By the way, how about the wickedness
the loathly meanncss, OF stealing private
letters? If memory serves, there was a
deafening outcry back somewhere in the
Spring when an epistle written by a
Spanish diplomat to his friend fell-with
some assistance--into Cuban hands and
then was made public. Is it SO different
from American spies to purloin the
letter written by another Spanish diplo-
mat to his uncle, and for the Administra-
ton authorities at Washington to pub
lish it broadcast as soon as they have
utilized its sacred contents! We failed
to understand the horror which was ex-
pressed in many quarters when the
Cubans resorted to this evidence as an
adjunct of open fighting in the field, and
it is equally mysterious to us why no
cranky correspondent so far as noticed,
has taken the trouble to condemn in a
"letter to the editor our own officials
for employing the same scheme.

SENATOR WoLcoTr OF Colorado, became
unnecessarily intlamed at Senator Allen,
of Nebraska, and though Mr. Allen is
supposed to be a bounding Populst
always anxious for fight, his speech in
response to the Senator from Colorado
was the more dignfed performance Mr..
Allen did not charge that the members
of the Monetary Commission which went
to Europe last year squandered the
money appropriated fo' expenses, but
declared that the failure Of the COM
mission was foredoomcd and that the
money it cost was thrown away. And SO
it was. The journey didn't bring the
world nearer by the length Of man :
nose to international or any other sort
of bimetalIism. No doubt, though, the
members o the commissions were honest
and earnest.

THE House of Representatives yestcr.
day agreed to the Senate amendment tc
the sundry Civil bill, providing for the
improvement OF the harbor of Whining

of the amendment is greatly due to the
untiring efforts OF Congressman Handy,
who fought hard for the interests of his
Wilmington constituents. The appro-
priatio, n amounting to $500, 900, is a Just
and generous one and by it the people
will soon be in position to boast of a
harbor that will be credit and benefit
