Maj. Gen. Miles, in the June Mcclure
Along the front lines We're posted flags
of truce at intervals of from 200 to 500
yeards. Immediately in front of the
Greek army lay the Turkish
army drawn up in order of battle.
In the advance was strong line of SEN
tinels with picket supports and reserves
in their order; and a short distance in the
rear their main line of battle. The dis
lance between the advance line of the
Greek army and the picket line OF the
Turkish army l should judge was about
400 yards. On the ground occupied by the
former force and between the lines were
scattered the graves of those who had
fallen on both sides in the last engage
ment Of the campaign, which had occurred
on this spot, a short distance from the lit
tie town of LAMA.
The Turks were apparently as uncon-
cerned and defiant as it Is only possible

amount TO little with him. The average
regular is hardy, exercised and in fit con-
dtion almost all the time. The volun-
teer is soft, physically, and the first ex-
perience of hard living that would make
the regular grumble, but not affect him
physically, would make the volunteer
well-nigh a subject for the hospital This
Is not because the volunteer is not as
brave man or will not when he has had
a chance make as good a soldier as the
regular; but until he has become just as
experienced he is not as capable a man
for the service.
II believe that the regular will stand a
better chance of recovering from wound
than the volunteer, because his recupera-
tive powers are apt to be much greater.
1t makes a very great difference, too, if
a man goes into battle in good physical
condition, If he is suffering from weak
ness as the result of some disorder
brought on by climatic or food conditions
he cannot hope for recovery where the
hardened seasoned soldier would be laid
up for a time but eventually come out all
right Simple physical fatigue has nc
such effect. However I believe 1t will be
found when this war is over that the
actual loss of life from all causes will be
proportionately very greatly less than in
any war Of consequence that has taken
place"

MORE PRISONERS ARRIVE.
Eighty Cases OF MalariaI Fever
Among the Men

Portsmouth, y. H.. july 15.-The United
States auxiliary cruiser Harvard, in COM
mand of Capt Charles F. Cotton, from
Santiago, having on board 1ooS Spanish
prisoners, arrived in Portsmouth harbor
az $50 O'Clock this morning.
The port physician boarded the vessel
and in company with the Spanish doc
tor made an inspection. His visit disclos-
ed the fact that nearly half Of those on
board are ill.,
Six .spaniards died on the passage from
Santiago 10 Portsmouth. three deaths oc-
CURED to-day after the cruiser reached
port and other patients are not expected
to live.
There We're forty serious cases in the
sick bay and forty equally as bad in other
portions of the ship All these patients
are said to be victims of malarial fever,
with which diseases those who died were
affected
The Harvard left Santiago Sunday at 4
p. m, and made fair progress. The pris-
oners she brought were nearly all cap
tured in skirmishes which occurred in
the American advance on Santiago. They
were a sorry looking lot even those who
were not i'll, and as seen from the deck
of tug alongside to-day they were in "A
far worse condition than those who came
last Sunday
While Admiral Cervera's men showed
many signs of privation, those seen TO-
day were tattered dirty and uukempt The
physicians said that half of the zoos were
ailing. No one was allowed on board the
cruiser. The bodies of the dead were buried
at sea with military honors.
The doctors completed their examination
this afternoon and at once presented their
report to Admiral Carpenter. The joint
finding of the physicians was to the effect
that there was nothing more serious on
board than malarial fever
After a consultation it was thought best
not 10 take the men off the ship to-day,
but the work of landing wiz be undertak-
en- az o'clock tomorrow forenoon, and
viii be accomplished as quickly as posi-
bic. As soon as the Spaniards have been
removed the Harvard will be thoroughly
disinfected.
On board the Harvard was a foreign off,
Ger who was in the American lines at the
land battle of Santiago. In speaking of
the event, he complimented the Americans
most highly on the way they fought say
ing Il was one of the fercest conflicts in
history.

s. TIE fact that several dollars spent for the
fight medicine has effected cure where
skilled and expensive physician aided by
the latest and most ingenious instrument OF
science, had failed, is a matter OF much
importance.
Important, because It opens TO downcast
sufferers a new, inexpensive and sure
avenue TO the restoration of health and the
full enjoyment Of the pleasures of life.
Such was the experience of Mrs. Ada
~. Herr, Of 439 Nosth Charlotte Street,
Lancaster, Pa.
From a weak, nervous, Responding per
son, she was made strong, active woman
and cheerful, helpful wife.
Her story Is interesting.
Mrs. Herr suffered terribly from female
disorders. Her nerves became unstrung,
cramps griped hes and caused the most
intense pain.
So weak and physically demorahred
was she, that the slightest labor wearied
her and household duties were burden.
The most alarming symptoms OF her
malady were the frequent fainting spells
that afflicted her.
In the midst Of her work, or IN a con-
versation, dizziness would come Upon her
and she would fall PROSTATE IN swoon.
She consulted reputable physician. He
diagnosed her case and prescribed the Usual
remedies.
Instead Of improving, she continued to
grow worse the ailment that was robbing
her life Of the joys Of young womanhood
Became more pronounced.

1t seemed impossible TO correct or even to
check the disorders.

Mrs. Herr, in telling her story to reporter,
"and the awful cramps and the frequency
and nature Of the fainting spells alarmed
me beyond belief and shattered my system.

No discovery Of modern times has proved
such boon TO women as DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on
the blood and nerves, invigorating the body,
regulating the functions, they restore the
strength and health TO the exhausted woman
when every effort Of the physician proves
unavailing.
These pills are recognized everywhere
as a specific for diseases of the blood and
nerves. For paralysis, locomotor ataxia,
and other diseases long supposed incurable,
they have proved their efficacy IN thousands
of cases. Truly they are one of the greatest
blessings ever bestowed upon mankind.

Nearly all of them have been built since

corner of the cellar. Its walls are of
stone, three and one-half feet thick.
Heavy crossbeams form the roof of this
safety house. Two windows open out
wardly one to the south. the other to the
north. They were protected by iron graf

has taken these out, i'm order to facilitate
egress should such a necessity occur. A
heavy oakeu door that can be barred 9nd
locked makes the place burglar proof.
The floor of this novel cyclone house Is
cemented and covered with a soft, warm
carpet. A comfortable couch is fitted into
one corner. In another are several mas

provisions are renewed every time the
