LIEUT.. wEBB's RESIGNATION.
Was Due to His Private Affairs, and
Has Been Withdrawn.
(Special to The Herald.(

Especial TO The Herald)
San Francisco, May 27.-Wednesday's
Herald arrived today, containing news
of the resignation of Captain Webb.
The news created something of a SEN
sation here, as the men were totally
ignorant of any such proceedings. Cap
tain Young admitted the truth of the
statement that Lieutenant Webb had
resigned before the artillery left Utah.
His resignation was wired by Governor
Wells to the war department, and ar
rangements made for the choice of
new man, when Lieutenant Webb an
nounced his intention of going with the
battery. When this fact was known,
Governor Wells Immediately tele-
graphed the war department, explain
ing the change, and asking that the
order for his discharge be revoked.
This not being answered, Governor
Wells reappointed Lieutenant Webb,
who took the oath of Office over again,
and will accompany the troops to Man
lila.
The rumor that his resignation was
at the request of Captain Young is
wholly unfounded. The captain in
formed The Herald correspondent to-
night that he had always thought that
Lieutenant Webb would make good
artillery officer, and that he was proud
Oh Ills SuCCtSS dllt luli sdAASAtO Will iliS
work His resignation was due to some
personal affairs. which he thought
would compel him to stay at home.
However, he managed to fix these up
and Immediately withdrew his resigna-
ton. The men all share this feeling.
and expressed great regret that they
would lose him on seeing The Herald.
As to a probable successor. if a lieu
tenancy ever becomes vacant, Scott
Wells will be chosen if the boys have
any choice in the matter. He is i'm
mensely popular among both officers
and privates. A petition was started in
camp this afternoon stating that it was
the desire of the men that Sergeant
Wells be appointed This was with
drawn, of course, on hearing that Lieu
tenant Webb would remain.
Rain prevented drilling today. A large
supply of stationery and books arrived
for the batteries today. This will en-
able the officers to keep the record of
the batteries in a very systematic and
businesslike manner.

Flying Squadron Did Not Fly, But the SpaniardS
Waited For It.
SCHLEY WENT TO SANTIAGO DE CUBA.
AND CERVERA IS STILL In THE HARBOR
American Squadron includes the Batleshps Iowa. Massa-
chuSettS and Texas, and Two Cruisers.

Spanish Cape Verde squadron remains
unknown to the American authorities.
On Thursday last Cervera was reported
to be at Santiago de Cuba, and Schley
left Key West for that port. The next
morning I learned where the squadron
was bound, and was enabled to follow
aboard the British ship Premier Since
then we have been engaged in a fruit
less search for the Spaniards in the
gulf and Caribbean sea.
Monday morning we came I'D with
the American ships off Cienfuegos and
learned that Commodore Schley be-
lieved that Admiral Cervera was in the
harbor, and owing to the nature of the
port it was impossible to learn from
sea whether the information was cor
rect. The American squadron main
tanned close blockade of the entrance
The topmasts of four large vessels could
be seen in the harbCr over the promon-
tory which conceals the entrance, and
it was believed that these were the
Vizcaya and two other cruisers under
Cervera.
Tuesday evening the Cuban insur-
gents sent a boat with positive infor-
nation that the Spanish fleet was not in
Cienfuegos harbor, and just after sun
set Commodore Schley's squadron
sailed away southeast, bound for San
d. w
Premier, and despite a heavy gale from
the southeast, kept in touch with the
squadron until 4 o'clock Wednesday. A
severe squall then hit the vessels, and
when it cleared we found it had altered
the course. We stood along toward
Santiago, but as the gale increased in
severity and our supply of coal and
water was dangerously low, the Pre-
mier was obliged to run to Kingston,
where she arrived on Friday at
O'Clock
After losing much of the fleet we
sighted the gunboat Hawk returning
to Cienfuegos from Santiago de Cuba.
with the news that the Spanish fleet
under Cervera was now at Santiago.
MAY HAVE ESCAPED.
I am afraid there is little chance of
the Spanish fleet. There are
that Cervera, after dis
charging ammunition and supplies for
BlancO at Santiago, put out again, run
down the Caribbean to Martinique and
got out into the Atlantic by the same
way he entered. In this way, it ap-
pears, the Spanish fleet has completely
the American COM
manders, and has succeeded in conceal
ing his movements, although the Amer
leans have some 20 warships patrolling
the West Indian waters.
1t is reported that severe fighting
took place between the insurgents and
Spaniards near Cienfuegos on Sunday,
in which the Spaniards lost 300 killed
and wounded.

Cure by Hoods sarsapariIIa
After Others Failed,

"I was taken with neuralgia in my
head and eyes. Not long after this,
scrofula sore appeared on my left cheek,
extending from my upper lip to my eye.
Other sores came on my neck and on my
right arm and one of my limbs. They
were very troublesome and painful and
soon became great running sores. My
face looked SO bad that some of my
neighbors could not bear to look at me
and advised me to wear a bandage, but
feared this would irritate the sore and
make it worse. So
Could Not Hide the Sores.
My niece, who was familiar with case
similar to mine, which had been cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, urged me to try it.
Finally was persuaded to do so, and in
short time l saw it was helping me.
The sores began to heal and the neu-
ralgia in my head was better. In few
months the sores on my arms and limbs
all healed; those on my neck gradually
disappeared and now they are all gone.
have never had any symptom OF scrofula
since. One large scar on my right arm is
all the sign that remains of my terrible
affection. The neuralgia is also cured"

0NE TELLS ANOTHER.

And so the news spreads
and spreads. Housekeepers all
around are talking of the fine
quality of goods bought at our
grocery department. AS the
news spreads, SO our groceries
spread all over the city, from
Waikiki to Palama; from the
wharf to way up the valley.
There is only one conclusion
to be drawn, and that is that
the quality Of goods must be
right-not only that, but the
prices are right, the attention
is right, and the goods are in
the right condition.
Every one knows of the Americ-
an Biscuit Company and the class
of goods they make. The follow
ing are few of the many styles of
crackers that we carry: Graham
Wafer, Honey, Popular, Oyster,
Cheese, Noah's Ark Animals (for

Snowflake, Milk, Wine, Water,
Gluten Wafer, Ginger Cakes, Gin

and Pilot Bread.

Canned Fruits.

In buying these goods you can
not be too careful; many people have
experienced rather disastrous re-
suits from buying cheap trash, put
up in tin. We can vouch for the
brands we carry. In the Cooking
Fruits, we have a full assortment in
gallon cans. Very economical when
a larger amount is required. The
Table Fruits have the best known
brands in the market, put up in
two and half pound tins, and a
smaller size known as the lunch
tins for campers and picnicers.
