sity and indicate a remedy.
SPRING the season when the blood is
most impure as result of the win

ing, slower action of the kidneys
and liver: when humors of all kinds.
boils, pimpIes and eruptions are
most liable to appear; when the
weak, languid condition of the whole
bodily structure demands and well
comes help.
MEDICINE that to which the millions
turn at this season-Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla. The original and oa{y prep
aratlon especially adapted to the
present needs of the human family;

reached the Government that with
view to protecting her own coast and

authorities are thinking of dividing
what remains of the Spanish navy and
sending a portion Of it to American
waters. This Government, however,
expects to be able to divide Its forces

Watson to Spain's coast with formld-
able force, but to retain under Rear
Admiral SIMPSONS command fleet
which will protect the blockadlng

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July IT,
Since 4 o'clock this morning a stream
of refugees has been pouring into the
city, some naked and all hungry and
footsore. Many have fallen by the
wayside.
The town Of Santiago presents dis
NAL sight. Most Of the houses have
been sacked and the stores have all
been looted and nothing to eat can be

streets of the city this morning, at the
entertainments, at the breastworks and

barbedwire fences were the living
skeletons of Spanish soldiers.
Among the arrivals to-day were the

arrive on Tuesday night or Wednes-
day. Commodore Watson will send
one of his ships to Hampton Roads to
convoy Golfers to rendezvous near the
coast of Spain, which has been selected.
1t is evident that in any event the
fleet cannot possibly leave before the
latter part of this week, by which time,
the authorities say, SPANS naval plans
will have developed and thew will know
whether she intends to divide her
squadron or keep it intact for the pro-
lection of her coast.
In the latter case, as already stated,
all of the battle-ships under Rear .Ad-
miral SIMPSONS command may accom-
pany Commodore Watson, but should
there be any danger of a force being
sent by Spain to the westward 1t will
be necessary to retain several of them
under Rear Admiral SIMPSONS COM
mand, as it is appreciated by the au-
thorities that a. force will have to be
kept at a convenient point to protect
the blockading squadrons off Porto
Rico and Cuba and the North Atlantic
Coast.
Should Spain send fleet to this side
Of the Atlantic 1t cannot possibly ar
rive under three weeks. By this time
the authorities hope to have the army
Of invasion landed in Porto Rico. Even
should force come to this side Of the
Atlantic no great danger would follow,
for the simple reason that there are
no coaling depots at which it could OBJ
tain fuel and it would be placed in the
same position as was Admiral Cervera's
fleet.

-Four Spanish merchant steamers
the Mortera, the Reina de los Angeles,

The market place has been sacked by

Twenty-Five thousand refugees are
quartered at Ell Caney, 5000 at Firmexa
and 5000 at Cubitas ell Boniato, where
they have been living for a fortnight.
In one case 500 were crowded into one
building, which was a regular pigsty,
with horrible stencil.
The Spanish troops laid down their
arms at 9 o'clock this morning. They
will be camped two miles outside Of the
city limits, under guard, until their
embarkation takes place.
The docks are crowded by incoming
refugees in a starving condition, await
ing the arrival in the harbor of the Red
Cross steamer State of Texas, as there
are no eatables to be bought in the city.
The entrance of the refugees was
quiet and peaceful, they viewing their
wrecked homes philosophically, as the
fortune of war. Admiral SIMPSONS
last bombardment of Santiago wrecked
fifty-seven houses in the city, causing
heavy damage.
