KEEPING A CLOSE WATCH.
All the Vessels of the Blockading Squadron on the Lookout for
 the Spanish Fleet.
AL ARE ANXIOUS TO MEET THE ENEMY.
ys,,ef Prevalent Among tho Ohcers of the Navy that the spanish Fleet. Be- ing in the Caribbean Sea, Can be Hem- med in and Forced to Fight-Ths French Frlgate Passed Out.

OK BOARD THE DISPATCH BOAT KATE SPENCER. OFF HAVANA, May 16.-VIA. KEY WEST, Fla, May ls.-The ships of the American blockading squadron are keeping vigilant watch for the ap- pearance of tn Spanish fleet, and will not be taken by surprise should the spanish men-of-war round Cape An ,onia, the westernmost point of Cuba, and swoop down upon Havana. All our ships have been warned by Con- modore Watson of the possibility of such move, and sailors are kept constantly in the tops where they can sweep the horizon for 30 miles, looking out for the first sign of hos tile ship.
 All the naval officers on the blockade station are anxious for meeting with the Spaniards, and when informed that the latest reports placed them off the coast of Venezuela, they jubilantly de- clared that the enemy could be hemmed between the Windward islands and the Yucatan channel, to be destroyed. The only fear expressed was for the safety of our ships blocking Cienfuegos. But they do not doubt that precautions have been taken for the safety of the ships now on the southern coast of Cuba. The torpedo boats and fast yachts of the auxiliary fleet keep the blockading ships in constant communi- cation with Key West, whence the movements of vessels are being di. rected.
 General opinion is that there will be no movement of the army in the direc- ton of Cuba so long as the Spanish fleet remains in American waters, or until it is met and beaten.
 The blockade of Havana has been maintained without incident since the Condo de Vendito and Legaspi attempt ed to draw our ships under the big guns of the Santa Clara battery on Sat- urday evening.
 The French frigate Dubourdieu, which entered Havana harbor a week ago, after an unpleasant incident which necessitated the firing of two shots across her bows before the Frenchman would show his flag, passed out about p. m. and headed north west. The Dubourdieu is a school ship, carrying six inch and hve-inch guns and one pounders, besides two torpedo tubes. The May flower ran close enough to the frigate to establish the French mans identity and then stood off. Our flag was not saluted
 The Dubourdieu, like the French sloop of war Fulton, had on board many refugees. She is bound, prob ably, for some Mexican port.
 The activity along the coast con- tindes. Squads of Spanish cavalry and parties working upon Notifications have been seen daily along the shores, but they have not been molested.
 Orders have been given not to expose the small vessels of the squadron to un- necessary danger.

Ayers Sarsapariila with it's purifying and vitalizing action on the blood is . radical remedy for every form of disease that begins in tainted or impure blood. Hence tumors, sores, ulcers, boils, eruptions and similar dis. eases yield promptly to this medicine. Some cases are more stubborn than others, but persistence with pr. Ayers Sarsapa- rilla usually results in . complete cure. Mary Lingard began with bottle, and went on to course of Dr. Ayers earsapa- rilla. When she was cured she realized that a medicine that could cure disease could also prevent 1t. So she took a couple of bottles each spring and kept in perfect health.

A FRIENDS ADVICE.
And what it led tC.

ft is not c common occurrence that A friendly word should be the means of giv- ing nearly forty years of happiness and health to the person needing the advice it carried. This was the case with Mary Lingard. At twenty-five she was dragging out her 6ays in misery. At sixty-one she finds herself SO active and strong she can do work that would shame many a younger woman, and looks back on thirty-six happy, heslthfui years of industry. But let her tell her story:
 "Thirty-six years ago had great trouble with my liver. The doctors allowed that there were tumors growing on it, and they bltstcred my side in an effort to give me relief. was at that time earning my living as . taiioress, but for five years, between the pain in my side and the blisters was in constant misery, and work was drag to me, with no prospect of relief; fortunately for me, however a friend advised me to take pr. Ayers Sar saparilla, and finally persuaded me to take c regular course of It. When I first com menccd taking the Sarsapariiia my side was so painful that could not fasten my dress, and for time I did not get any relief, but my friend advised me to per- severe and relief was sure to come, and come 1t did. This happened, as say, thirty-six years ago. My liver has never troubled me since, and during these years have passed through the most critical period of woman's life without any par ticular trouble. and today, at sixty-one years of age, I am active and strong and able to do days work that would upset
