EAST PROVIDENCE.

Citizens who are interested in an
nexation met at the town hall last even
ing. when Messrs. Mumford. Champlain
and Munroe made addresses, but they
converted no one to the cause, as every
man present was heartily in favor of
becoming a citizen OF Greater Provi-
dence. Another meeting will be held
Wednesday evening, July q, and Ii Is
hoped that by that time the committee
will be assisted by experienced men
from Johnston. 1t is also probable they
will be asked why they use the hall and
lights without pay, as there are quite
a number of citizens who do not favor
annexation, and they do not understand
why the annexation committee should
use any public building without charge.
II Is claimed that when the firemen
held their fair in the hall they were
called upon to walk up to the captain s
office and SETTLE" like ordinary citi-
zens, and those who do not favor an
nexatien have a strong desire to have
the annexation committee pay its way.
as the town is not I'm position to pay
anybody's bills but its own.

Thousands have tried from time imme-
mortal to discover some cfficacious remedy
for wrinkles and other imperfections Of
the complexion, but mono had yet sue
ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam
Gus Complexion Specialists, Of 70 Fifth
Avenue, New York City, offered the pub
Tic their wonderful Complexion Tonic.
The reason so many failed TO make this
discovery before is plain, because they have
not followed the right principle. Balms,
Creams, Lotions. etc, never have tonic
effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
most exhilarating effect upon the cuticlc,
absorbing and carrying off all impurities
which the blood by its natural action is
constantly forcing to the surface of the
skin. IL is to the skin what q vitalizing
tonic is to the blood and nerves, kind of
new life that Immediately exhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect Is felt almost Immediately, and it
speedily banishcs forever from the skin,
frccklcs, pimples, blackheads, moth
patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughness,
oilincss, eruptions, and discolorations OF
any kind.
In order that all may be benefited by
their Great Discovery, the Misses Bell will,

Kingston, July 1.-THE miserable
little town of Juragucito (Siboney) lies
In ashes, having been burned under the
orders of the army health authorities
Almost every building OF the SO which
struggled along the irregular blun was
set fire to. and the inhabitants fied to
the caves in the overhanging hillside for
shelter The action was taken at tho
urgent request Of Major Legardo Of the
hospital corps, and served the Joint pur-
pose of Kidding the hospital camp Of the
unhealthful and dirty buildings and
driving away scores Of Cuban follow
ers whose presence was serious incon-
venience to the hospital workers The
burning Of the houses also extended
along the trail to the front. and numer-
Gus blockhouses were destroyed, to-
gether with dwellings.
Scarcely a wounded man remains at
the hospital headquarters here. Almost
all the sufferers have been either sent
north on ships. or have been sent on
board the hospital ship Relief. which
lies of shore. 1t Is most fortunate that
set in. as IL is difficult to provide proper
shelter from the storms. A number Of
men sick with fever, measles and other
ailments are still here. Malarial fever
continues to give the physicians trouble,
but so far only one death has resulted.
The men Of General Lawton's division
cut large main which II believed 10 be
the source OF the water supply OF San
tiago. The main entered the city from
the northeast. and Is the largest one yet
found. A stream of pure water as large
as a mans body has poured from the
pipe since IL was cut. and has proved
valuable TO the Americans. A few de-
serters who came out OF Santiago re-
ported that the city's water supply Is
scant and of very bad quality. The re-
ports OF wholesale desertions from the
Spanish forces are untrue. A few de-
serters reach the American iinis almost
daily. butthere have not been 100 in ALL
General Shafter telegraphed to Wash

tenance. but TO give them suoh food as
ne can spare from the soldiers stores.
Already 22.5oo rations have been sent
to them. but these are exhausted, as
well as the provisions sent by Clara
Barton I'm behalf of the Red Cross SO
ciety. The condition Of affairs In the
camp OF the refugees Is terrible, and IL
II continues many people will starve TO
death. Up TO date eight persons have
died. The churches are being used as
hospitals. One Of them contains is7
