"My mother was subject 20 sick head
aches and Indigestion for over a year.
She was unable to stand FOR any length
OF time, and was obliged to stay in dSrk
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was so weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered so much
that she became but the shadow Of her
self. One day 1 happened to read tes-
timonial about Hoods sarsapariIIa. Il
Sounded So Truthful
1 persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there vas
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles Of Hoods SarsapariIIa and
several boxes of Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
of health. Her digestion Is good and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. She

FEARS OF A NAVAL OFFICER.
Thinks Our. Ships Will BE Crippled Ii
Havana Forts Are Attacked.

WASHINGTON, April POI hope" said
a prominent naval officer to-day, who has
given much thought to the subject, that the
plan of operation decided upon by the de-
partment will not include an attack by our
fleet on MORO Castle and the forts at Ca
banas as the first stroke of the campaign.
If we do this many of our ships are sure to
be crippled and sent home for repairs. Our
docking facilities on the South Atlantic
coast are so limited that the vessels would
have to be sent far north to be repaired,
or else await their time for docking in the
South The Spaniards are taking the cue
and are displaying much military sagacity
in the movement of their ships. They are
concentrating them in their home ports
and, Ii our fleets are disabled by attempting
to reduce the fortifications at Havana. they
will steam over here and infiict rreparab BILE
damage on them. 1t seems to me the proper
thing for us to do would be to attempt to
land a large force of men in Cuba, surround
iards. meanwhile keeping up blockade of
the harbor and the coast by our fleet OF
ships. | think, with an army of 10000 men
supplemented by the inSurgent strength
on the island, we would be able to do this.
You will remember that during our late war
our fleets suffered considerably in the attack
on the forts of Charleston harbor, where
as, when the soldiers holding them ascer-
tanned that Sherman was coming with an
army from the inland they began to evac-
Uate when he was 100 miles away" These
matters have been brought to the attention
of the strategic board, which is now formu-
latlng plan of campaign.

TO TRANSPORT TROOPS.
Steamships Will Be Chartered by the
War Department..

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Arrangements
are being made by the War Department
for the transportation of troops from South
will be perfected tomorrow or soon there
after. Colonel A. S. Kimball, chief quar-
termaster of the Department of the East,
will open bids at New York to-day for
the charter of steam vessels for this inn
portant service The government will have
no difficulty in securing a sufficient number
of first-class steam vessels of good speed
for the transportation of the army to be
sent to Cuba Among the companies which
have offered vessels to the government for
this service are the following:
Iron Steamboat Company. of New York
Taurus. capacity 1000 passengers; Cetus,
Plant System. at Tampa, Fla.--Mascotte,
1000; Olivette 900; Florida. 1000
Cape May and Delaware Bay Navigation
Company, at delphia--Republic. $500.
New York and Texas Steamship Company,
at New York city-Colorado, !O5J; Leona,
Southern Pacific Company of New York
clty-Arkansas 900; GusSie, 900; Morgan,
LOCO; Whitney. 1000.
The probabilities are that arrangements
will be made whereby the government will
secure most. if not all, of the above vessels
in addition to several others whose names
are withheld for the present. 1t Is ex-
planned by Assistant Secretary MeikleJ0hH
that the department. has deemed it advisa-
BILE to charter. rather than purchase. all the
troops and that all the vessels engaged will
be assembled at the various points on the
Atlantic seaboard and the gulf coast most
convenient for the embarkation of troops.

Such information as the War Department
has been able to obtain from persons famil-

about the only means available for the
transportation of supplies to an army in the

In the West, in the rainy season in Cuba,

Nearly all of the time of Secretary Alger,
General Miles and Adjutant General Corbin
to- day was consumed in the consideration
of the best means to secure the volunteers
needed for the army. but this complicated
question has not yet been settled. An order
sent to the Twenty-fifth Infantry, at Chick
an1auga, to proceed to Mobile, early in the
day, was Cancelled later on.
Captain Duvall, the artillery expert and
special aid to Secretary Alger, who has been
making an investigation of the Southern
seacoast defenseS, returned to Washington
and reported the results of his trip to Ad-
Jutant General Corbin. For prudential rea-
sons the result cannot be made public.
The military enthusiasm mas spread to the
capital, usually so undemonstrative, and
to-day the city was brilliant with the stars
and stripes. Along F street and other thor
oughfares nearly every building flew the
flag. and some of the large business houses
took on the appearance of an inauguration
day. Several of them were covered by red
white and blue bunting. In the residential
portions of the city many private houses
raised the colors, and the city generally had
holiday appearance.
The statement is made OH high authority
that Tomas Estrada Palma, the representa-
tive of the Cuban republic in this country,
in company with one of the brigadiers on
GomeZs army has been in consultation
with General Miles to-day arranging for
cooperation for the conduct of the cam
paign in Cuba against Spain. This is taken
as virtual recognition of the Cuban re-
public. 1t is stated that Palma was sum-
moned here for this conference.

Great Display of Patriotism.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 2O.-The First
Regiment. United States Infantry, compris-
ing five hundred men, left here for New
Orleans over the Southern Pacific to-day
The departure of the soldiers resulted in a
popular demonstration such as has never
been equalled here. At least 900 people
assembled along the line of march from the
Preside to the ferry and there was con-
tinuous roar of cheering as the soldiers
marched along. Intense enthusiasm was
displayed throughout the city. Thousands
of school children who had been granted a
half holiday sang patriotic songs and waved
small flags. while others streWed the path

eminent in Cuba, and 1t goes without say
ing, in Puerto Rico also.
1t is conjectured by others that the Span
1ards intend to give up Cuba without ma
val battle. There have been kilograms re-
ceived from Madrid to the effect that the
authorities viii yield to the inevitable and
down to Havana and organize a govern
ment. But this is hardly credible.
Another explanation is that they expect
our ships to attack and blockade the Cuban
ports, and when the fleet is so scattered
their squadron at Cape Verde islands Will
either attack them one by one while they
are at a disadvantage, or else will sail d.
rect to Boston, Portland, New York or some
exposed city on the Atlantic coast and
lombard it long enough to impress upon the
American people the folly of war. This is
the theory most generally accepted, and the

pc sed of Admiral Sicard, Admiral Walker

day and takes Captain Sigsbees place as

navy, as General Schofield will be profes-

order to leave the battleships and cruisers
free the blockading squadron will be COM
posed of the merchant ships which have
been converted into cruisers. They carry
sufficient armament to prevent a break in
a blockade and have speed enough to run

The possibility of an attack upon New
York is giving the President and Cabinet a
great deal of concern, and it is conceded
that such a diversion would accord with the
Spanish character aud history They must
give UP Cuba. There is no question of that,
and by so doing they will enrage the popu-

PRECAUTIONS AT KEY WEST.
All Deck Lights ON the Big Ships Put
Out Mt Night.

KEY WEST, Fla, April 20-The United
States torpedo destroyer Mayflower arrived
here late last night and anchored near the
flagship New York. 1t is possible that the
Mayfower will be Captain Simpsons flag
ship. He may use her for this purpose if
he finds the expected blockade of Cuba me-
cessitates making continual and rapid
rounds of the fleet, as the Mayf1ower is
better suited for such work than the first
class cruiser New York. The rumors of the
New York going North and of the Dolphin
becoming the flagship are untrue
Additional precautions have been put in
force here to insure the safety of the big
ships since the Cuban resolutions We're
adopted by Congress. All deck lights OH
which lie out of Key West harbor, are now
extinguished before p. M, when the battle
ports are screwed on and the formidable
war ships can hardly be seen from each
others decks, except when an occasional
searchlight flashing around reveals their
dark outlines. Besides this precaution the
night patrol has been doubled Last even
ing both the Cincinnati and the Marblehead,
accompanied by two torpedo boats, went
out on picket duty.
The cruiser Cincinnati is missing from the
squadron tonight. With the Marblehead
she went on patrol duty last night Hith-
erto this duty has taken the acting ships
eight or ten miles out in the waters of the
gulf, and they have usually returned early
next morning. Last night for the first time
two cruisers were assigned instead of one.
This morning the Marblehead returned as
usual, but not the Cincinnati, which had
not been sighted UP to nightfall Inquiry
developed the fact that a message was sig
nailed to her from the flagship early this
morning. It's import has not been ascer-
tanned on shore, but the answer was waved
back: Still nine miles out. Will follow or
ders" What these orders were are known
only to the commanding officers of the
fleet and the Cincinnati. The Cincinnati
was most likely sent further out to gain
greater command q
waters from the Cuban side. This was the
first occasion when the guard was kept on
duty all night and the following day.
1t has been learned that the cable between
here and Havana was cut about a mile
south of Fort Taylor, and evidently by some
one familiar with cable work The strand
which is of the double armor, heavy, short
end type, was not cut in twain, but merely
cut open. The conductor was then pulled
out and cut in two near the shore. The ca
bic is very heavy, weighing about fourteen
tons to the mile, and hence the cut could
have scarcely been an accident The cable
is now repaired and the whole matter Is
under investigation.

BRITONs ANXIOUS TO FIGHT.
Many Applications for Enlistment in
Our Navy and Army

LONDON, April 2O.-The rush of appli-
cants for enlistment in the United States
army or navy was continued to-day. Be-
tween forty and fifty English and Irish sail
ors or soldiers. or would-be soldiers or sail
ors applied for enlistment at the United
States consulate this morning.
Several British officers consulted with Col.
Alfred r. Bates, the United States military
attache. to-day. as to whether they could
secure commissions in. the United States
army. One Woolwich artillery lieutenant
declared his intention TO apply for six
months leave, without giving any reason
for SO doing, and to enlist as a private in
the United States army if he is unable to
do better, in order to study artillery in ac-
ton. Numbers of former soldiers and vol
unteers have applied TO Marshal Hastead
the United States consul at Birmingham,
for enlistment in the United States army.
Mr.. Halstead explained to them that the
foreign enlistment act prevented the ac-
ceptance of their offers. Many engineers
have left Birmingham to serve in both the
United States and the Spanish navies.

NAVAL EXPERTS PUZZLED.
Do Not Understand the Naval Maneu-
vers of the Spnniards.

CHICAGO, April 20.-The Records Wash
ington corr espondent says: The naval ex
rerts are very much puzzled by the ma
neuvers of the Spanish fleet. Positive in
formation was received to-day that the
Vizcaya and the Oquendo, the two best
battle ships in the Spanish navy, which left
Havana a week or ten days ago, had passed
st. Thomas OH their way to the Cape Verde
islands. All of the battle ships, cruisers
gunboats and torpedo boats of the Spanish
navy that are in any way formidable are
now at that rendezvous, which is
at least twelve days sail from Gu
ba, if the time is measured by the
speed of the slowest ship in the squad
ron. Havana and the other ports of Cuba
and the Spanish base of supplies in Puerto
Rico are thus left unprotected. except by
the ancient fertresses. shore batteries and
the torpedoes in the harbors There is
small gunboat in nearly every one of the
prominent ports of those islands, which has
been kept to patrol the coast against fill
busters but would be Of no account what
ever in a battle. The fuel supply at Puerto
Rico which has been accumulated with so
much industry and soicltude, and is abso-
lutey essential to the Spanish fleet. is only
1900 miles from New York and 1000 miles
from Hampton Roads. The Minneapolis
could make the distance in two days, and
the rest of the flying squadron in three
days easily. The naval authorities in Wash
ington are positive the Spaniards must real
iZe that Puerto Rico will be the first object
of attack by our fleet, which can reach
there several days quicker than their own.
Why they should thus leave their base OF
supplies exposed to attack and capture is a
mystery for which many theories are of
fered. One of them is that they expect our
fleet TO go over to Cape Verde and attack
them. but in this they will be disappointed.
All of the fighting will be done on this side
of the Atlantic. There may be a hostile
demonstration in the Philippine islands just
to scarf the Spaniards and assist the revo-
lutionists in that colony to gain their free
dom. but the United States has no interests
outside the western hemisphere and the
war is exclusively for the purpose declared
in the resolutions adopted by Congress yes

at Chattanooga and discussing details of
equipment. 1t is the genuine belief among
the militia officers that the Tennessee troops
will be ordered to Chattanooga inside of
week or ten days.
Great excitement was produced at Camp
Boynton, Chickamauga, when an order
came this morning at 2:30 o'clock from Gen.
Graham at Atlanta, commander of the De-
partment of the Gulf ordering Colonel Burt
to proceed with the Twenty-fifth Infantry
to Mobile Colonel Burt at once began to
break camp, but within three~quarters of
an hour the order of General Graham was
countermanded by the War Department
Colonel Burt is at a loss to understand these
conflicting orders. but the presumption is
that General Graham through mistake
issued the orders regardless of the fact that
the Twenty-fifth is in the Department of
the Lakes. under jurisdiction of General
Brooke. through whom all orders to the
regiment should be delivered.
