THE SECOND EXPEDITION.

Washington. June 3.-Arrangemcnts
for the second expedition of invasion
from the United States for the West
Indies are being hurried at the war de-
partment. There seems to he no doubt
that this expedition, If its number az
proaches the first, will be sent from the
east coast Of the United States. The
experience in embarking the first from
Tampa has demonstrated to the war
department that other ports where the
railroad ana other facilities are more
adequate than at Tampa, are much
more desirable places for concentration
Of troops and their cmharkation.
\ board Of army officers for the past
week has been examining various
places in the South with a view TO
their occupation for camping purposes
ana it is also suggested that it may
take occasion to point out Il desirable
port for the cmbarkation Of tho Porto
Rico expedition. This board will ar
rive here tomorrow morning, and will
hurri"dly prepare its report.
F'ernandina and Savannah are looked
upon with favor by the war depart
ment officials as suitable ports for the
departure of the invading army and
Charleston also has been suggested.
Five transports are now at Fcrnan-
dina, viz: The Comanche, kniciSer-
booker, Louisiana, the Gate City and
City Of Macon. The Catania and the
Arcadia We're at New York two days
ago and the Lampasas and the Nouces,
of the Mallory Line, whose charters
have been about closed by Assistant
Meiklejohn are at New York. Already
therefore, the department is very well
equipped with transports for the in
vading army

The firing began about midnight and
lasted until daybreak. At times there
was heavy fusilade on both sides.
Lieuts. Neville and Shaw of Go. d,
with 80 men, were on picket duty all
night and were attacked by a heavy
force of Spaniards. All the men killed
We're in this detachment, except Dr.
Gibbs, who was shot while in camp.

Marblchead, this morning. They con-
sisted of 60 men and two rapid firing
guns. The men are suffering greatly
from heat and thirst; but they are all
behaving splendidly in and out of fire.
After McCallgan and Dunphy, GDen-
nessy?) were killed their heads We're
shockingly mutilated with machetes.
Late this morning, the Spaniards
opened fire from two guns placed on
the west side of the harbor. The shots
flew wild. but the Texas, Yankee and
torpedo boat Porter. which Were lying
in the harbor. opened fire and in 4
short time silenced the Spanish guns.
The latter fired only once after the
ships opened on them. There We're no
casualties on the American side.
1t was decided by Col Huntington,
this morning. to abandon the position

no signs of reinforcements Of troops
and it was known that Il force of Span

which the troops held, last night, was
given up to batteries and rifle pits and
the tents were pitched on the side of
hill near the hafbor. which is protected
by the WarshpS.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided In Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers Ignorance; or more
frequently from q mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer,
and young women are SO taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letter from Miss MARIE
F. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her:
"My health became so poor that l
had to leave school. Twas tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. 1 was also troubled
with irregularity of menses. l was
very weak, and lost SO much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. My
mother, who is firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am now as well as l
ever was. l have gained flesh and have
a good color. l am completely cured of
irregularity.

without neccssarles.
The camp Is located In the woods or
rather In kind Of grove. The under
brush has been cleared away so that the
men have not the slightest trouble from
this source. The shade formed by the
trees makes the heat during the day bear
able to say the very least.
The majority Of the men on going To
bed remove part of their clothing, and
regardless of the stories that have been
started, suffer but little from the insects
and reptiles. Some of the men have not
seen a snake Of any kind since they have
been there. ana but few lizards nave been
seen These are all Of a harmless Kind
and do not trouble tho men in the slight
est degree.
Ever since Col. l.. II. Kendall has been
in charge of the brigade. he has gone by
the name Of General Kendall. No one
thinks Of addressing him by any other
name There IS still much talk among
the officers that he may be promoted 50
that the title of general viii Dc riehtfulIy

From the fact that il will probably take
Il month to recruit the regiment to the
fun number. there is prevailing opinion
that the men will not be moved for some
time.

who came near being lynchcd about
week ago the man has not been allowed

HELP FROM GERMANY.
One Hope that Spain Holds to With Despcra-

London, June 1.-THE Berlin CORE
spondent of the Times remarks the fact
that with four warships already at Ca
vito and With the Darmstadt on the way
with 400 men, Germany will have 4 force
of 1900 marines at Manila"
According to a special dispatch from
Shanghai, the German steamer Petrarch
is about to leave there for Manila with
secret orders, it is believed, from the Ger
man government.
Prince Henry of Prussia, now at Kiao-
Chou with the German squadron, is kept
constantly informed, the dispatch says,
as to the developments of the war.
The Madrid correspondent of the Stan
dard says: The army corps under Gen.
Pando in eastern Cuba is composed of
four divisions, under Gems. Linares.
Luque. Aldace and March. stationed re-
spectively at Santiago. Holguin, Man

ares has 5000 men, who, with the 2515 I'M
der Admiral Cervera, are considered by
the government sufficient to repel inva-
sion. There is a hopeful feeling here that
Germany will interfere in the Philip
pines.'

During the middle of the week the
acquisitions made out by Col. Kendall
were filled and now the men are fully
supplied with Undertaking, shoes and
stockings. The Undertaking is that
which is issued at all seasons to the
regular army, regardless Of the time Of
year. In consequence it is little
heavy.
| When the men first arrived at the
Park the rations were decidedly rocky.
AS soon as The regiment was fairly set
tied in camp there was decided
change. Hardtack became Il thing Of
the past as soft bread was served in
its stead. Fresh beef took the place Of
the canned beef and salt pork, served
and there was a decided change foi the
better.
/ The men had been established in

horsed up under the trees. When this
barrel was first horsed up there was Il
decided objection raised by Chaplain
| Estabrook as he thought it a breeder
of immortality. Col. Kendall with his
foresight saw that the men would
simply spend their money ut the can
teen Of other regiments if they did not
have one Of their own.

day had passed over 800 had been
