TO RAISE THE MAINE.
Californian Wrecking Company Wants Per.
mission to Raise the BattIeship.

Washington. Oct. 2S.-The Acme
Wrecling Co. of San Francisco, has
made request upon the navy depart
ment for authority to raise the battle
ship Maine. The company has had eX-
perience in raising vessels on the Pa
cific coast and representations have
been made to the department as to its
ability to accomplish the task in Ha-
vana harbor. 1t proposes to blow tbs
mud from under the wreck by means of
streams of water and then to pass I'M
der chains and attach them to frame
work connected with a system of steel
barrels. These barrels will also be
placed in the wreck and utilized wher-
ever they can be made available.
The company simply asks authority
to raise the Maine and bring her to this
country. If the government wants the
ship after she reaches the United
States. the company will want to be
paid salvage money through condem-
nation proceedings. 1t is probable that
in case the government does not want
the ship the company would exhibit
her in different large sea coast cities
of the United States. No money is
demanded from the government by the
company. 1t is stated at the depart
ment unpfficially that in case the COM
pany isl found reliable the authority
asked for will no doubt be given.

GEN. WOOD At MaNzANlLLO.
Honors Shared by Lieut. Young. the Comm nd.
er Of the Gunboat Hist.

ManZanillo, Oct. 28.-The United
States gunboat Hist arrived here, this
evening, with Gen. Wood commander
of the military department of Santi-
ago, accompanied by Lieut.. Matthew
Hanna. On landing Gen. Wood was
visited by Col. Petit and his adjutant,
and he was subsequently received by
Col. Pettit's entire regiment which,
with the regimental band, executed a
march past. Gen. Wood then visited
the barracks, hospitals, palaces, GUS
tom house and post office.
Col. Petit reports that the Cuban
General Rios is apparently making
every effort to prevent the disband-
ing of his troops. The Cuban COM
mander wishes the owners of all the
sugar estates in the -neighborhood to
tell him how many men they can en-
ploy and will guarantee to supply all
required on condition that only soldiers
are employed.
The planters unanimously refuse to
fall in with any such an arrangement
considering it would be a trades union
of the worst possible kind and would
also tend to keep up the Cuban mill
tary organization, which in the inter
ests Of the island, the planters are par
ticularly anxious to break up. In their
opinion it would be better to have no
commerce than to attempt it on such
conditions.
Lieut.. Lucien Young, the commander
of the Hist, created more excitement
on landing than even Gen. Wood HIM
self. Crowds gathered an the wharf
to see the young commander, who with
Lieuts. Holm and Jungen of the Hor-
net and Wampatuck defeated a whole
fiotilla of Spanish gunboats at Man.
zanillo, July l. The population of
Manzanillo considers Lieut.. Young a
hero and terror and thinks he ought to
be an admiral; for. although the Span
ish shore batteries in that engagement
continued to lombard the American
gunboats it is generally admitted here
that it was the shooting of the Hist
that caused the people to flee to the
mountains. In many parts of the city
are still visible the marks of the Hist's
shells.
Lieut.. Victor Blue. who has been in
specting the wrecks of the Spanish
eunboats, considers it quite impracti'
cable to raise them.

Bv the President of the United States,
A PROCLAMATION.
The approaching November brings to
mind the custom OF our ancestry, hal
lowed by time and rooted in our most
mighty God for all the blessings He has
vouchsafed to us during the past year. :
Few years in our history have afforded
have been blessed by abundant harvests;
our trade and commerce have been won
oerfully increased: our public credit has
been improved and strengthened; all sec
lions of our country have been brought
together and united into closer bonds OF
national purpose and unity. The skies
have for time been darkened by the
cloud of war, but as we were compelled
to take up the sword in the cause of hui
mainly, we are permitted to rejoice thar
the conflict has been of so brief duration,
and the losses we have had to mourn,
though grievous and important, have been
SO few, considering the great results ac-
complished. as to inspire us with graft
tude and praise to the Lord of Hosts. We
may laud and magnify His holy name
that the cessation of hostilities came so
soon as to spare both sides the countless
sorrows and disasters that attend pro-
tracted war.
/ do therefore invite all my fellow
citizens, as well those at home as those
who may be at sea or sojourning in for
eign lands, to set apart and observe
Thursday, the 24th day of November, as
a day of national thanksgiving to come
together in their several places of wor-
ship for service of praise and thanks
to Almighty God for all the blessings OF
the year; for the mildness of the seasons
and the fruitfulness of the SOIL for the
continued prosperity of the people; for
the devotion and valor of our country
men; for the glory of our victory and the
hope OF righteous peace, and to pray
that the Divine guidance which has
brought us heretofore to safety and honor
may be graciously continued in. the years
to come.
In witness whereof, etc.

You see it was not very difficult thing
to explain. Everybody grasped the
idea in a minute. when j told them
that the real value Of cod liver oil ex-
listed in certain active principles al
ways found in the liver of the live cod.
II was not very hard work for any one
to believe that these same principles
could be obtained by special process,
without its being necessary to have
them connected with the disagreeable
and vile-smelling grease that formerly
was part of the remedy which they
had known as cod liver oil. Well. that
is about all / have to tell them. 1t is
not very hard work for even child TO

principles. that just the right amount
can be administered, and even a child
could mix this same extract in the de-
licious table wine which we are using
and which so prepared goes under the
name of Vinol-Wine of Cod Liver OIL.
Yes. indeed, any number of people
have already found out the value of
Vinol. Lots of them are coming to me
every day and telling me that they
knew it was necessary for them to
take cod liver oil, but they could not
do it. They are now telling me of the
good they are deriving from Ninol. and
