Washington. July l9.-It has finally
been decided that none Of the troops
that participated In the actual fight
ing before Santiago shall be employed
On the Porto Rico expedition. There
ore two reasons for this: First, the men
have suffered severely from hardships,
the climate and from fevers and are
entitled TO rest; second, 1t Is deemed
TO be very bad practice to allow the
soldiers who have been exposed to vel
low fever TO be brought in contact
with those fresh from the United
States There is also still another
reason, purely military one. Ten
thousand Spanish troops are at Hol-
guin, Manzanillo and other points
within striking distance Of Santiago,
and might not lose an opportunity to
recover the ground lost at Santiago II
the place we're left insutIiciently pro-
tected. Therefore, Skaters entire
army Is TO be kept on guard on the
high hills in the rear Of the town un.
til the men have stamped out the vel
low fever. Then they will take turn

and 1t may be that Skaters march

army Is thoroughly refreshed, hunt

now that the United States has secured

Of Gen. Toral's forces east OF Assera.
dores there will be no Spanish troops
In the surrendered zone. The Spanish
garrison at Holguin and Manzanillo,
therefore, constitute about the only
opposition to the quiet retention Of
the territory now occupied by us. 1t
will be difficult, however, for the
Spanish forces to get from Holguin
70 Manzanillo, as the roads are i'm
passable for an army large enough
to make the attempt to retake San.
tisgo, and, In any event, 1t Is
said, control OF Santiago harbor by the
American forces gives the key to the
situation, as the guns Of the warships
In the inner harbor can command all
the approaches to the town. 1t was
this which made the approach Of the
land forces so difficult while Cervera's
heet was In the harbor and which left
Santiago helpless and ready to surren.

It Is probable that several Of our ships
will be stationed within the harbor,
sufficiently of the city to avoid con.
tagion and yet near enough to give
complete defense In case an effort Is
made by the Spaniards TO repossess
this CITY.

have made this matter special
study for four years and have be-
yond question succeeded in perfect
ing thorough and complete Pre-
vention and Cure for Cholera. I
have submitted it to the most rigid
test and it has never failed in sin
gle instance. Iwell know in nsofering
this formula I have to combat the
prejudice incurred by the various
nostrums imposed upon the people,
but all that ask is a fair and honest
trial which will convince the most
sceptical that there is no humbug in
this matter, but that it is a bona fide
remedy for the Prevention and Cure
of Cholera in Hogs in Chickens.
Used as Preventive it has no
equal in the land. AS Cure it will
cure 80 per cent. of all primary cases
and in fact it will cure all cases
where the patient can eat and digest
its food. I challenge the county to
produce an epidemic of Cholera that
I cannot checkmate in two or three
days.
If this remedy fails to perform
what is claimed for it I will most

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube gets inaamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases ont of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an iDhamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

It has been i1timated to US recent
" that there is an impression in GER
tain quarters the remarks OF cit
zen'' and the editorials in The TINES
on the matter of expending nearly
$1,000 for maps, charts etc, is an az
tempt to create the impression that
corrupt methods were resorted to oy
the head Of the schools to place these
articles in the county. We dlsclalm
any knowledge Of corruption, ana we
do not believe there was any corrup-
ton; ali that we desire in the matter
is an explanation from the proper
sources, that the taxpayers may
know something Of the transaction,
and il there has been bad Judgment
displayed, let the blame be rightly
placed. From what we have been
able to learn OF the matter; the par
ties selling the maps and charts sold
their wares at fabulous prices, dump
ed their paper upon lnnocehI per
sons and have decamped for other
ponds where suckers are as easily
caught as they were here. The
county will have to meet these claims;
there is no way out of it, because the
persons now holding the paper paid
out their money in good faith. we
think it the duty Of the Superinten-
dent OF Education to come out with
an explanation OF the tranaction that
there be left no room for false rumors
or conjectures, and we can assure him
and his corps OF trustees that not for
one moment have we ever had an
idea that either of them touched an
unclean penny.
