that since Q o'clock this afternoon the
American fleet at Santiago dc Cuba has
been cannonading the batteries Of

American fire was directed principally
against the forts and the harbor. The
forts of Zorro Castle, La Zecapa and
Punta Gordn suffered especially. The
cannonading was very persistent and
cannot have failed to be destructive.

The loss of the hair is one of the most
serious losses woman can undergo.
Beautiful hair gives many a woman a
claim to beauty which would be utterly
wanting if the locks were short and
scanty. 1t is almost as serious loss when
the natural hue of the hair begins to fade
and the shining tresses of Chestnut and
auburn are changed to gray or to a faded
shadow Of their former brightness. Such
a loss is no longer a necessity. There is
one remedy which may we'll be called a
great. remedy. by reason of its great sue
cess IN stopping the II ta,ng Of the hal1
storing the lost color to gray or faded
tresses., DR.: Ayers Hair vi gor is a stand
ard and reliable preparation, in use in
thousands of homes, and commended by
everyone who has tested it and expert
enced the remarkable results that follow
its use. It makes hair grow. 1t restores
the original color to hair that has turned
gray OF faded out 1t stops hair from fall
ing, cleanses the scalp of dandrutf, and
gives the hair n thickness and gloss that
no other preparation can produce.

The following communication has been

fl ON Mr. Chas. r. Douglass, a son of the
late Frederick Douglass:
Il beg leave to invite your attention to
Senate bill 1892, to incorporate the Fred
erick Douglass Memorial and Historical
Association, presented to the Senate July
l, 1S9S, and referred to the committee on
the District of Columbia. My purpose in
addressing you is, first, to ascertain wheth-
er this DIll comes before your honorc bl9
beard for approval, end if so, to ask in the
name OF the children and all the legal heirs
OF Mr.. Douglass, that it be not approved,
for the reason that ii is believed by them
that this scheme is a mera ruse to obtain
money from the public to serve personal
ends. The ninth section of the bill is par
ticularly Objectionable to the heirs of Fred
erick Douglass, as it authorizes the desc
Grafton of the graves of our parents by the
dIsintermcnt of my fathers remains from
beside those of his first wife in Rochester
N Y, and the reinterm mt of them at
Cedar Hill, ASacostia, making Of that place
a burial site where the remains of such
other persons may be inferred at the pleas
ure of Mrs. Helen Douglass only.
'Of the five persons named body cor
pOrate two are nOn-residents and one Mrs
Sarah BiackaH of Rochester, n. Y, de-
Clares that she is not in sympathy with the
without her knowledge or consent. The
other nonresident is Edward A. Clarke of
Ohio"
The bill has not been received by the
CO mmissioners, and Mr.. Douglass will be
informed to that effect.
