famous Worlds Dispensary Medical
Association OF Buffalo, he has had a
wider practical experience in this
special field of medical practice than
probably any other physician in
America.
He designed this marvellous Pre-
scription' for the one specific pur-
pose OF healing, strengthening and
purifying the distinctly feminine or
ganism. 1t is for this and nothing
else. 1t heals all ulcerative condi-
tons and unnatural drains; over
comes all weaknesses and derange-
nents; imparts strength to the sup
porting l1gaments and tonic power
to the nerve centers.
There never was any other medi-
cine so scientifically devised for the
express benefit OF womankind; there
never was any other which accom-
pl1shed this purpose so completely
and permanently.
1t is temperance medicine, not
mere st1mulant. There is no alcohol
IN it, no narcotic drugs. The per-
sistent use of preparations contain
ing such agents is liable to awaken
morbid, intemperate craving. The
"Favorite Prescription" develops no
bad habits. The health it bestows is
natural, genuine, vigorous and per-
manent.

KEY WEST, June II, 1898 (S:45 A. NJ ~
Captain General Blaneo has apparently
not yet abandoned the hope of luring tile
American warships within range Of the
Havana batteries. He tried it again on
Friday morning last but with no better
success than in his previous attempts
Advices received here today are to the
effect that five Spanish ships ran out 10
the mouth of Havana harbor on the day
mentioned and headed in an easter1v di-
rection. The vessels of the bockading
squadron were lying we'll off shore, the
nearest not being closer than two thou
sand yards. Upon sighting the Spaniards
they ran in a short distance and
opened fire them. The volley af
shot and shell brought no response from
the enemy; but the quintettes of ships
speedily turned tail and hugging the
shore, under the batteries, ran back into
the harbor. The American ships, how
ever, did not accept the bait and made
no further attempt to molest them. The
character of the Spanish boats could not
be positively fixed on account of the dis
tance; but, the American officers who par
ticipated in the affair say one or two were
small gunboats of the class which has
been maneouvring all along the North
coast in futile efforts to draw the Ameri-
can ships within the fire Of the Spanish
batteries.
Yesterday afternoon three of the Hav-
ana batteries. tn Santa Clara battery and
Sand Batteries No. and No. g. deliber-
ately opened fire upon one of the aux
iliary gunboats which was cruising closes
ly along the shore. About half a dozen
shots were fired, none finding any other
mark than the sea although several drop
ped too close for comfort. The gunboaf
made no reply. but hurried out of range
and reported the attack to the flagship
of the blockading squadron. No attempt
at retaliation, however was made.

Cuban sources, supplemented by such
glimpses as could be obtained by naval
officers from the outside entrance.
Now, however, according to Lieutenant
Blue, the ships have been actually seen
by an American officer, counted and M
spected from such points of vantage as
were afforded by the high hills surround
ing the harbor. The officials here are fuli
of praise for Lieutenant Blues achieve
ment Victor Blue has been long known
in the navy as an enterprising and daring
young officer, but 1t required good deal
of sustained courage for him to go ashore
in hostile country and alone make this
reconnaissance. He was in the eye OF
military law nothing more nor less than
a spy and had he been captured by the
Spaniards he would have been tried by
drumhead court martial and executed.
Considering the fact that the marines
fight at Guantanamo last Saturday night
was really the first engagement of the
war on shore, Admiral SIMPSONS refer
ence to the affair in his despatch posted
this morning was remarkably brief Hence
it is inferred that perhaps too much i'm
portance has been attached to it by the
public

secure point than the exposed position

OUR SNAP BRIcADIERS.

WASHINGTON, June IA, 1898. S.-The War
Department officials are very much en-
barrassed at the requests coming from
the newly appointed brigadier generals to
have the regular U. s. A. officers assign
ed to duty on their staffs. The Depart
ment is not indisposed to allow fair
representation of the regular army on
the volunteer staffs, but it is felt to be Inn
proper and unjust to the regular army Of
ficers to make up these stats entirely
from among them. The immediate con-
sequence of acceding to these requests
has been to force the volunteer officers
of lower grade than general officers upon
the regular service, where they are fre-
quently called upon to command men
much older in years and ripper in military
experience than themselves. The result
is dissatisfaction all along the line for as
a rule the regular army officers very
much prefer duty on the staff of generals
of the regular army.
