THE REST CURE.

This is often the best cure. But many
people cannot afford to rest indefinitely
Worse still, the very knowledge that they
cannot, seriously interferes with the best use
of the rest they have. Too often going to the
doctor means that the patient shall stop short,
while cares and duties and expenses continue.
Many, therefore, hesitate and delay.

TUESDAY, APRIL 20.

The little Cuban coasting steamer Gam
brosia Bolivar" captured by the monitor
"Terror." The prize proved richer than
at first supposed, for beside valuable
cargo OF bananas and wine, she had
$4,000 Of Spanish silver.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 81.
The American bark "Ssranac'', loaded
with coal, has been captured at "lIoilo",
Philippine Islands, by Spanish gunboat.
The owners of the vessel in New York
received notice OF her safe arrival at
"IloiIo", and believe she must have been
seized after reaching port. The "Saranac"
is a dou decked bark, ,027 tons and
was built at Kennebunkport in 1880.
The American squadron in the Pacific
sailed from Mrs Bay, China, for the
Philippines islands this afternoon, to at
tack the Spanish fleet. The distance is
about 600 miles.
The United States has been officially
notified of the issuance of neutrality
orders by Italy, Netherlands, Switzer
land, Norway, Sweden, Russia and
Colombia.
The capture by the "Terror" on Sunday
of he sugar-lade Cuban coasting schoon-
err "Saeo" was not reported until to-day.
The first exchange of shots between the
blockading fleet at Cuba and the shore
batteries took place at noon to-day, when
for eis hteen minutes the "New York;,
"Puritan" and "Cincinnatio bombarded
the forts at t he mouth Of Matanzas harbor.
The purpose Of The fleet WAS to locate the
shore batteries by drawing their fire. The
fire was returned to prevent the compile
ton of work on new fortiticat ions.
None OF the shots from the batteries took
effect, but unofficial reports say the bonn
bardment from the ships showed Won
deriully accurate Workmanship, silenced
the batteries, and must have been accom-
panied by fatalities. or course it is i'm
possible TO ascertain the extent OF damage
done or number of killed.
Another rich prize was capture day
by the Terror, being the Spanish steam
er "Guido", 2,s72 tons, with provisions
and money for the Spanish army in Cuba.
The steamer tried to escape after the first
blank shot was fired, but three solid shot
which passed through her pilot house
and upper works brought her to terms.
1t is not known how much specie the safe
of the "Guido" contains.
