Yesterdays dispatches discrdit the
Garcia letter and pronounce it the work
Of a clever newspaperman on the staff
of Castillo, an insurgent chief The
fact that General Shafter has not re-
ported the receipt Of any such letter
supports the denial of there being any
such authentic document The Cuban
Junta in New York repudiates it, and
declares Garcia never wrote it, and that
If he did he will be disciplined for it.
The Vice President of the Insurgent
Government declares that the insur-
rectionists will keep faith with the
United States, and that it is cruel to
charge them with insincerity. 1t will
be as we'll to wait awhile. and see if
the truth will untangle from this maze
of assertion and denial. That Garcia
should engage Spanish troops coming
in to surrender would seem, however,
to credit the charge that he is dis
gruntled, and is out in opposition to
the United States.

test to enter when Spain not only
threatened to send, but started a fleet
to devastate the American coast? If
Spain may assail the American coast,
why may not the American ships bonn
bard Spanish cities? Why not, for
sooth? Our Government should give
no heed to these European mutterings,
but go straight ahead in the business
of seeking the enemy wherever he may
be found. And it will do SO.

1t is now said the Watson squadron
is to go east to engage Camara's fleet,
and for that only. That may be. But
we adhere to the original statement in
these columns that there never was
any intention to have it attack the
coast of Spain. In this connection 1t is
amusing to note that European intelli-
gences are very much exercised over
ish coast, and they are busy in warning
us that we must keep the war on our
own side Indeed! Did any Of these

Sacramento having fought for and
won the State Conventions of the po-
litica1 parties, we beg leave to suggest
to the people that as change there
be more system in the decorations Of
the town. Economy and taste will be
conserved by system. For instance. let
all property owners and tenants on
the two principal streets. and all busi-
ness cross streets between them. meet
with the Committee on Decorations, and
fix upon a plan whereby there will be
an artistic and symmetrical method OF
dressing the streets from end to end.
This will leave each at liberty to dress
his building front as he sees fit But
a system of handsome draping can be
devised by common agreement that will
render individual decoration largely
unnecessary and greatly less costly.

1t looks very much as if America will
have to extend its arm of justice,
backed up by might, to protect Spanish
officers from the injustice, treachery

kidney troubles. Tongue could never ex-
press the misery l endured during those
years / was reduced in flesh until / was
a mere skeleton; my sight and hearing
were badly impaired; was constantly
troubled with constipation and piles, and
had severe chronic cough. In short, life
was burden and death would have been
welcome. / was treated by various spe-
cial!sts without avail. / finally resolved
to give DR.. Wong Him of No. 639 Upper
Main street trial. OF course. like many
others, / had no faith in a Chinese doc
tor, but it only took a few doses of his
life-giving herbs to knock all the skepti-
cism out of me. In just five weeks the
doctor pronounced me cured, and now ]
can truthfully say that's / never was
healthier and never felt better in my life.
MY sight and hearing are both fully re-
stored; that obnoxious cough. constipa--

am rapidly gaining in flesh, having gained
forty pounds in two months.

to have it combed, but the nurse said that
wouldn't do, and used vaseline to keep it
in, then used beefs marrow, then quinine
tonic, and finally (CUTICURA ointment), which
helped it Immediately. The nurse said she
rubbed up fine white dust from the scalp
where she could see nothing before COM
mencing, and the scalp looked healthier and
more natural every day. Now haven't as
many gray hairs as when / commenced using
CUTICURA, and have a crop of fine brown
hair all over my head about an inch and
half in length. only lose few hairs when
combing every day, and always more gray
than brown. My nurse is delighted because
the new hairs are brown. / never had very

some allowance should he made
