To Cure Catarrh

Do not depend upon snufs, inha-
lants or other local applications.
Catarrh is a constitutional disease,
and can be successfully treated
only by means Of a constitutional
remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which thoroughly puri6es the
blood and removes the scrofulous
taints which cause catarrh. The
great number Of testimonials from
those who have been cured Of ca
tarrh BY Hoods Sarsaparilla prove
the unequalled power Of this medi-
cine to conquer this disease. If
troubled with Catarrh give Hoods
Sarsaparilla a fair trial at once.

fencing of a Spanish battery. The wounded are still being picked up as this dispatch is hurried away.
 General Lawton's s. division bivouacked near Fl Caney last night without fires. At z o'clock this morning there was sullen boom" It was the first shot from. Capron's battery, fired to avenge the killing of his son. Promptly the Spanish began to answer the challenge from their trenches and forts At 7:15 Grimes. battery opened on the Spanish troops to the right of the San Juan blockhouse.
 The common powder used by our troops smoked and: was a fine target for the Spanish field battery, which probably was served by Admiral Ger vera's marines, judging by the accur- acy of the aim.
 While: our smoke gave the enemy our range. Grimes could not locate the en- emy's guns; which used smokeless pow der, except approximately. But, satis- fled as to the Spanish position, our men worked like mad. The Spanish fire gradually slackend, and in less than an hour it ceased altogether.
 Battery A of the Second Artillery de- serve great credit for the victory, for 1t was a case of blindness against sight. The battery's losses, the officers state, were as follows:

 Those known to have been killed were John H. Franklin of fDiamondale, Mich, and Ferdi-' nand J. Sevright. Among. the. wounded were Frank Lawson of: Lawton, Mich, whose left arm was broken; D. A. Stark. of Ann Arbor, and Clifford H.. Curtis.
 Although taken completely by surprise, the Michigan troops va liantly stood their ground. They deployed and drove the Span iards from their position, killing and wounding a large number of the enemy's men.
 In yesterdays engagement the observation balloon used by the army rendered good service, dis closing the enemy's position and gaining much valuable informa- ton. The balloon, at which the enemy fired repeatedly, finally was split by shrapnel.
 Our hospital at Siboney is now crowded with wounded soldiers. The surgeons are busy bandag- ing wounds of this soldier or ann putating the fingers, arms or legs of that soldier. In caring for the wounded the Red Cross vessel State of Texas is giving all the. aid 1t can. All the typhoid pa tients will be transferred from the Olivette to the Iroquois.
 During yesterdays engage ment the heat was intense, but there were few cases of prostra-- tions.

 AMONG THE SPANISH FORCES DISCOVERED

NEW YORK, July: .2:-A Sun cable
 from Playa del Este, July ?; says: The
 sanguinary nature of yesterdays bat: tie became apparent late last night when our. victorious forces, having cap tured the Spanish trenches, were en- abled not only to count up their own losses, but to make some estimate of the. casualties on the Spanish side. = . :. As already cabled to the Sun. 15o- dead bodies of Spanish soldiers were found in single trench, and in many
 other trenches it was estimated the. mortality had reached the surprising
 figure of 50 per cent: = .:. :. :: :. =<< :
 It is said that between; ten thousand and fifteen thousand men were: engaged on the Spanish side. and couriers from

The battery was supported by the RouFh Riders, about 100 Cubans with a Hotchkiss gun, detachment of the pany of the Second Cavalry. Most of the Spanish shells flew low over the crest of the battery's position and ex- ploded. Through them the Rough Riders had about ten wounded, among them being the following: S. G. Devore, sergeant, Troop K; W. A. Armstrong, corporal, Troop J; McSparron, corporal, Troop G; Alvin c. Ash. private, Troop G; w. A. Freeman, private, Troop F; B. A.

 Captain Grimes and Corporal Mclean were overcome by the heat, but are re- covering.
 The battery shot 100 rounds, two thirds shells and the balance shrapnel.
 The military balloon used by the sig nal corps for the purpose of obtaining accurate information of the location of the enemy and the character of their defenSeS proved of inestimable service in the engagement. The balloon f1oated just over the tree tops and was easily guided along three miles of the road toward the lines of the enemy.
 Whenever it halted for the purpose of taking a photograph of the fortifica- tions below, the Spaniards seized the occasions for taking pot shots at the mid-air monster. At one time the big balloon hung over San Juan, not over 500 yards from the enemy.
 In the fighting at San Juan a Span ish shell two and half inches in di- ameter burst in the midst of Captain Purifiers battery in the First Artillery, wounding several.
