The Success of the War.


But if the republican party is to be at
tackled and denounced for everything that
went wrong, 1t will be entirely Justified in
claiming credit for everything that went
right-and how many things did go right
No amount of criticism can dim the glories
of Santiago and Manila. Whatever the
mismanAg9ment, it is still true that the ad-
ministration organized and equipped a vast
army, and that under the direction of the
administration two Spanish fleets were en-
tirely destroyed. the eastern end of Cuba
was conquered, $1,000 Spanish soldiers were
captured and deported Cuba and Portt
Rico were both wrung from Spain the an
thority of the United States was establish.
cd at Manila, and all this was done in four
short months, with an amazingly small
loss Of life The PEOPLE are in no danger If
forgetting these things.

It's always very wrong to fight;

From the Medical Rec I'd.
The city of Santiago. long known as a
breeder of pcstiencc and one of the dirtiest
and most unhealthy places in dirty and I'M
healthy Cuba, has been in American hands
only about two months. and is now in q
condition Of cleanliness that New York
might almost have CnVied a few years ago.
Under the system introduced by Gen. Wood,
who. it may be remembered, is a physician,
Santiago IS divided into five sections each
one under the general supervision of a med
zeal man. who has under him inspectors
of sewers, streets, houses and dispensaries,
and a number Of street cleaners. Five hun
dred cubic yards Of refuse are burned daily,
disinfectants are distributed wherever they
are needed. and heavy fine is imposed for
uncleanlincSs or for any failure to report
unhealthful conditions and deaths. The re-
suits are shown in decrease in the -
rate within a month from an 4.

it is hoped that yellow fever can be made

ANOTHER MAINE VICTIM.
Lieutenant Blandin Answers the Last
Can.

BALTIMORE, July 16.-Lieutenant
John j. Blandln, United States navy,
who was officer OF the deck on the
United States battleship Maine when
she was destroyed in Havana harbor,
died here today. His death was the
result of the shock to his nervous sys-
TEN on the night of the explosion.
Lieutenant Blandin was appointed
from Alabama a cadet midshiplnan in
the navy in 1878. He became cadet
in 1882 and an ensign two years la
ter. In 1894 he became a lieutenant
of the junior grade. His service on
the Maine dated from October. 1879,
until the great battleship was blown
up in Havana harbor. At the time of
the explosion he was the officer of
the watch, and his cool behavior af-
ter the catastrophe won praise on all
sides. His testimony before the Anne
rican court was most important and
had much to do with the verdict rem
dered by the commission.

NANTON CH|LDOF FORTUNE
ERRACTIC CAREER OF PRINCESS
CHIMAY.
Her Death Reported and Then Con-
radicted-American Who has Fig
ured Much in European Courts.

PARIS, July 10 The Budapest
correspondent of the Libre Parole an
nounces the death of Clara l.. Ward,
the divorced wife of Prince Joseph de
Chimay-Caraman. The cause of
death is said to be milk fever. She
gave birth to a daughter few weeks
ago.
Clara Ward was the daughter of
Captain Eber Ward. the richest man
i'm Michigan, who, at the time of his
death was possessed of thousands of
acres of pine lands and the biggest
fleet of ships on the Great Lakes
Clara was but two years old when
her father died, and her mother very
soon moved to Windsor, where she
married one Cameron, Canadian
banker. Life i'm Windsor was TOO
slow for Mrs. Cameron, and she took
her daughter Clara to Europe for the
purpose of educating her. Clara pos
sessed the headstrong traits of ner
father, and refused to stay in school
after she was II years old Her
mother, worth several millions ny
Captain Wards will, introduced her
into European society.
Her betrothal with Prince Chimav
of Belgium was soon noised about in
America, and Clara was married to
the Prince when she was only II
years old. Her wealth and beauty
gave her notOriety, and the Princess
was recognized as the leader in her
circles. Soon rumors of her peculiar
behavior were common, and her in
fidelity to her marriage vows were
everywhere discussed. These grew 50
numerous that the Prince at one
time threatened to divorce her, but
he was persuaded not to do so for fear
of scandal by her mother. Two child
rem were born to her by the Prince,
but even these failed to smoothe, the
troubles, and the differences between
the Prince and his wife increased.
The Princess capped the climax of
her career of waywardness in Novem-
Der, 1896. by clipping with Jancsy Ri
ga, violinist and director of the
gypsy orchestra at a Paris restaurant
and a man of family. The infatu-
alton of the Princess for the man has
never been satisfactorily explained,
for he is i'm no manner personally at
tractive. ILLUSTRATION of Paris dis
cribed him as 35 years old, small of
stature, with a face pitted with small
poX, locks glstening with pomhde,
and waistcoat traversed by many
chains-a true Tsigane.
Prince Chimay promptly got a di-
vorce in Paris, and the Princess and
her lover have since created sensations
in many of the capitals of Europe,
from two or three of which they have
been driven by the authorities
BUDAPEST, July 1G.-There is no
truth in the announcement telegraph
ed to Paris that Clara L. Ward, for
merly of Detroit, Mich, the divorced
wife of Prince Joseph of Chimay and
Caraman, is dead. She is in this city
and in good health.

Dorrance, Providence, r. I. He says:
For several years l have been almost
constant sufferer from disarrhoea,
the frequent attacks completely pros
trating me and rendering me unfit
for my duties at this hotel. About
two years ago a travelling salesman
kindly gave me a bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. Much to my surprise and
delight its effects were immediate.
Whenever felt symptoms of the dis
ease I would fortify myself against
the attack with a few doses of this
valuable remedy. The result has been
very satisfactory and almost complete
relief from the aflliction." For sale
