THE AMERICAN CURSE
Over 80 Per Cent of Our People Suffering
With Catarrh In S0me form

Eminent medical authorities attest that
over 80 per cent of the American PEOPLE
suffer from catarrh. Comparatively few
people have a perfect sense of smell, taste
and hearing. Perhaps inperceptibly to
them these important functions, on witch
rests SO much that is pleasing in life, have
been gradually dulled, impaired and lost.
There are thousands of men and women
whose friends have become estranged and
shun them; there Is many maid who has
lost her sweetheart, many a minister who
has lost the faith and confidence of his
congregation, and many merchant or
clerk his customers for some reason unac-
countable to them, but notorious to all who
come in contact with them-a foul, often
sive, catarrhal, poisoned breath. Think of
beautiful woman whose breath exhales
the foul, horrible efiuvia Of the charnel
house.
The poisons of catarrh not only affect the
senses, but the blightlng mucus dropping
down the throat fills the bronchial tubes
and rots them away, clogs the lungs with
offensive matter and destroys the delicate
air cells. 1t falls into the stomach and
coats the membranes, preventing the d.
gestive fluids from acting on the foods,
causing fermentation, bloating and nau-
sea. interfering with the assimilation of the
food-thus starving the body. The kid
neys and liver become affected and in time
the sufferer sinks into the grave another
wreck attributable to the deadly poison Of
catarrh

SPANISH WARRIORS DIVIDED IN
OPINION AS TO PEACE
Blanco Wants to Continue the War.
Camara's Fleet Going Home.
From the Lie Factory

| WASHINGTON, July 9, $3.50 p. m.-Secre-
tary Alger says that Santiago has not sur
rendered nor has battle taken place there
as yet and indications are that negotiations
for surrender are still progressing. AS a
| result of advlces from General Shafter he
expressed the opinion that no battle would
take place today.
Secretary Alger and General Corbn both
refused to make any further statement as
to the nature of the communication they
had received from General Shafter, but it
is understood that Spain offered to capitu-
late on conditions and that these conditions
have not so far been accepted.
Secretary Alger based his statement upon
cablegram from General Shafter received
by him today, which indicated that hostili-
ties were near but had not actually opened
up, and might be deferred. He said that six
batteries of artillery had been unloaded and
gotten to the front today, and that only one
of the lighters sent to General Shafter had
reached its destination. The Secretary
added that General Skaters dispatch said
the lighters were needed to unload provi-
sions for the troops.
In view of the published allegation that
the troops were on short rations General
Shafter was wired as to the proof of the
assertion He answered that one day only
the troops were on half rations, and on that
day the only troops who suffered were few
at the furthest point from the supply. The
general says there was considerable COM
piaint on account Of the lack of tobacco,
but he added that there was sufficient food
tobacco and other necessary supplies on
the ships to last at least two months, and

HAVE NO SHIPS LEFT
Pacific Steamship Companies Unable
to Continue Their Business

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.-The Pacific
Mail Steamship company is seeking to pur-
chase the steamships Belgic. Gaelic Coptic
and Doric, operated now between this port,
Honolulu, Yokohama and Hong Kong by
the Occidental and Oriental Steamship com
pany. The annexation of the Hawaiian
islands has given an impetus to the move
ment, added to which is the fact that the
Pacific Mail has now no ships of its own left
wherewith to operate its trans-Pacific SER
vice. All of the vessels of the latter line
have been taken for troop ships by the gov
eminent. The Occidental company will no
longer be able to continue its service between
San Francisco and Honolulu, as its steamers
are under British register. The Hawaiian
islands now being American territory no
foreign ships will be permitted to carry pas
sengers or freight between any of the island
ports and any American port.
Until the arrangements contemplated by
the respective trans-Pacific companies are
completed the steamship service between
San Francisco, Honolulu and the Orient will
be extremely limited. At present there are
but two American ships on the route be-
tween here and Honolulu. They are the
Alameda and Mariposa of the Oceanic
Steamship company. The predicament of
the Pacific Mail company has revived the
statement current some time ago that ad-
ditional American steamships would be
built. In all probability at least two new
vessels will be built by the company.

TAKING THEIR TIME
Spanish Commanders In Santiago Are
Waiting for Orders From Madrid

IN FRONT OF SANTIAGO, July 8, a.
M, by the Associated Press dispatch boat
Cynthia II, via Port Antonio, Jamaica, July
9, a. M, by way of Kingston, Jamaica,
July 9, a. m.-There has been absolutely
no change in the situation at Santiago dur
ing the past twenty-four hours. The Span
ish authorities are taking time to consider
the proposition to surrender and no answer
will De made before noon tomorrow.
Gable operators, at the request of the
Spanish officials, have been allowed to en-
ter Santiago, and the matter of surrender
of that city is now being considered with
Madrid direct.
The general feeling among the American
officers Is that the surrender would be
made, not necessarily tomorrow (Satur-
day., but they believe that date will be
the beginning of the final negotiations.
The Spanish authorities request that
hereafter all communications be made to
them in Spanish, as "the officers who did
the translating for us are no longer with
u.s."
Orders have been issued that each regi-
ment in the American lines hoist q flag on
the trenches in front of the position 1t oc-
cupies. This gives the Spaniards an ex-
celent idea of the extent and location of
our lines. but 1t also makes very impos-
ing appearance. This morning, nearly a
score of standards were fluttering at differ
ent points along the works, which are near
~ three miles long and enclosing the city
on two sides.
1t has been proposed that battalion of
sharpshooters be formed from each regi-
mental battalion in the army, to be COM
manded by officers of practical proficiency
as marksmen. II is said that this battalion
would be able to clear the reg
ion near the army of the pes
tiferous guerrillas, who, from tree
tops or other covers, make many at
tempts some Of them successful, to as
sassinate wounded men as they are being
carried to the rear. During the truce,
which has now lasted four days, there has
been none of this murder business going

PLAN OF BATTLE
Sampson Will Cut Off the Spanish Re-
treat With the Big Guns

WASHINGTON, July 9-It was expected
at the Navy Department that SIMPSONS
big guns would begin work again at the
Notifications at the entrance of Santiago
harbor, though 1t cannot be learned that
explicit notice of such a purpose has been
received, the departments knowledge
being confined to the fact that this was the
plan of campaign arranged between Shafter
and Sampson after their meeting three
DAYS ago. The details of the plan to be
pursued are not yet known either to tho
Navy or War Department, having been left
entirely within the discretion of Sampson
and Shafter, each acting In his own do
main, the sole injunction laid upon them
being to confer and cooperate toward the
single end of capturing Santiago. It Is as
sumed at the Navy Department, however,
that Sampson will follow his former plan
of pounding away at the Notifications until
he has silenced them, following up by pos
sessing himself of the easements ashore,
which control the electrical connections to
the submarine mines, If there be any cleo
trically controlled mines. and after ex-
ploding these and clearing up the channels
with grapnels, enter the harbor and take
the Spanish in the rear. One of the most
important results expected to follow
SIMPSONS appearance in the harbor Is the
cutting off Of the retreat of the Spanish
forces to the interior of Cuba. Our troops
now control the approaches to the town
from the south to the northeast, and can
easily close the semi-circles to the north.
In the rear to the west, however, there are
high rugged hills, across which the Span
iards might retreat towards Manzanillo
If SIMPSONS vessels enter the harbor and
IL <1N
that their guns will control the line of re-
treat over the hills SO effectually that were
the Spaniards to attempt the passage they
would go to certain destruction. The Navy
Department is having gerat difficulty in
communicating by wire with Sampson
though it is not known whether this comes
from bad cable service or from the dis
lance at which Sampson lies from the cable
station. All that came from him last night
was brief report as to the condition of the
wrecks of the Spanish vessels. The Ad-
miral has had some Of his experts examin-
ing the ships as they lie beached and the
report is encouraging to the authorities
who are particularly pleased with the pros
poets Of recovering some of these vessels
and adding them to the American Navy.
The only approach to this type of armorcd
cruisers in our navy are the New York and
Brooklyn. In the terrible running duel Of
sixty miles on July g. the Spanish vessels
showed more than once the possibility not
only of escape, but of making a destructive
fight, had they been handled with any,
thing like the skill and GOODNESS displayed

The rumors of peace are universal. They

victory which will satisfy national honor.
1t is beginning to be understood that the

West Indies are greatly jeopardized by a
dearth of provisions and ammunition.
