Five Miles up in the Air.

Two daring London %aeronauts assembled
five miles above the earth in a balloon
and nearly froze to death. The tenn
perature at that height was 81 degrees
below zero. The men went in the
interest of science, and while the
actual benefit of their trip to humanity
at large was considerable, it will not
begin to equal the great good accom-
plished by the medical scientist who
gave the world Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Nothing to equal this remedy
has ever been discovered for ailments of
the stomach, liver, bowels and kidneys.
The Bitters are the best remedy for
indigestion, %biliousness, coated tongue,
bad breath, sleeplessness and nervous
ness. They strengthen the brain, the
body, the nerves. They brace up the
respondent and cheer the invalid.

Nicholas mole, where the water is smooth and

may remain in collier,
Saturday, May 2S.-At noon Com
modore Schley made this general an
nouncement from the flagship:
In accordance with orders we had started for
Key West. Owing to GOLFERS breakdown Har-
ward reached Us Friday morning with dis.
patches received Mt Port Antonio from navy
department ordering us to wait here until fur,
ther instructions, cruising not farther than ID
miles from Santiago. Sampson is coming
around tho east side of Cuba 1t is ID believed
that the Spanish fleet is in Santiago harbor.
We will stay here until further orders as long
as we have coal enough left to go to Haiti,
where we have coaling vessels at Gonaives bay,
In the afternoon the squadron moved
eastward about five miles nearer Santi-
ago and fairly we'll inshore. The Mar
blehead tried to draw the fire of the
forts, but failed. AS dark fell the squad
ron lined up opposite the harbor en-
trance, about eight miles out, where
the ships lay to all night.
Sunday May 29.-At sunrise the
squadron, under the lead of the Brook
Ign, made a swinging circle inshore,
and then for the first time the Spanish
fleet vas definitely located" Right
across the entrance to the harbor, but
inside the MORO and Estrella battery,
lay the Colon, her white awnings glis-
tening in contrast with her black hull,
easily distinguishable by her peculiar
rig of military mast between smoke
pipes. A little furtbor in lay another
cruiser, one Of the Vizcaya class. They
could be made out easily without
glasses. Then we withdrew and took
blockading position opposite the harbor
about ten miles out. Schley sent the st,
Paul with the news to Sampson. Samp.
son arrived a few days later and took
command A close blockade was begun,
with the result that all the world
knows. Why Schley started on May 26
back to Key West without having learn
ed whether or not Cervera was in San
tiago is a mystery. A biographer has
called it a mastery stroke of strate-
gy," arguing that Sohley meant Ger
vera to see the signal (made 20 miles
away and be deceived into coming out.
The real explanation seems to be that
Schley was earnest in his belief that
Cervera really was at Cienfuegos and
not at Santiago Suppose, his friends
say, that Cervera had eluded all the
American vessels and was hurrying to
Havana, where he could have crushed
our blockading feet (at that time) with
one blow, what then?-T. M. Dieuaide
