tends the baby, as well as the good old
fashioned woman who looks after her
home, will both at times get run down in

ing or dizzy spells. The most wonderful
remedy for these women is Electric Bit
tiers. Thousands of sufferers from Lame
Back and Weak Kidneys rise up and
call it blessed. 1t is the medicine for
women. Female complaints and Ner-
vous troubles of all kinds are soon re-
lieved by the use of Electric Bitters.-
Delicate women should keep this remedy
on hand. Free trial bottles at Lights

THE ARMY IN PUERTO RICO.
Troops Capture n Rnilroad-Nauco
IL United states City.

PONCE, Island of Puerto Rico, July
30. 3 p. M, via st. Thomas, Aug. L
General Miles hourly expects the arriv-
al of the transports having on board
Brieadier General Schwan's division OF
6OOO men, and also the Mohawk with
the Fifth regular cavalry.
General Henry's division, consisting of
1900 men, and including 20 pieces OF ar
tillerv. has been ordered to march inn
mediately to Yauco from Ponce to be
ready to join in the movement north to
San Juan.
The Sixteenth Pennsylvania regiment
was sent this morning toward Juanadlaz,
eight miles north of Ponce, en- route 20
San Juan.
Word reached here this afternoon that
the Spaniards were numbering native Pu-
erto Ricans, violating women and indulg-
ing in general outrages.
The first real resistance is expected
when our troops reach Aibonito, 80 miles
northeast of here.
Miles says he has no intention of MAX
inc a landing of troops at San Juan, es-
pecially as the place is only roadstead,
where transports are liable to suffer from
prevalent storms.
The railroad from Ponce to Yauco is
now in possession of our troops. General
Stone found five mines on the track
These were destroyed and the track Is
uninjured.
Our troops found II Spaniards in Yau-
co hospital, all of whom had been wound
ed in Tuesdays fight.
Proclamations have been issued by the
authorities of Yauco as United States
city, expressing delight at annexation
and the administration of General Miles
and welcoming our troops.
The mayor of Ponce has called upon
the residents of that place to exercise
calmness and circumspection under the
new and desirable conditions.
Miles has issued lengthy orders of in
structions to General Wilson as military
governor of Ponce province and the city
until General Brookes arrival. 1t is of
the same tenor as the instructions which
Miles gave to Shafter at Santiago. Both
orders are based on the administration
instructions given to General Merritt re-
garding the government OF the Philippine
islands.
The question of proper discount on Pn-
erto Rican silver gives some trouble to
General Miles, but he says this will set
tie itself in due time.
Chaplain Chadwick of the Cincinnati
introduced to General Wilson this morn
ING two of the leading Jesuits of Ponce,
representing a thousand churches and
their dependents in this province The
priests wanted information regarding
their support and General Wilson sad
under the constitution of the United
States it was not possible to apply any
government money for church purposes
Spanish volunteers continue to come III
and give themselves up.
