SCROFULA
1t is Foul BIood's Advertise.
n1ent
But IL is Soon Cured by Hoods
SaFSapariIIa.

Yes, Scrofula, if anything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge of the world offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
riIIa and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking a few bottles.
She has had no symptoms of scrofuIa
sores since that time" MARIETTA NJ.

Wounded Seamen Said to BE Bitter in
DenOuncing Spaniards.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. pa spe-
cial to the Times Union and Citizen from
Key West, Fla, says: Sailors of the bat
tie ship Maine. suffering from wounds in
the Key West Hospital are smarting over
the delay of the government in Furnishing
what they term a Spanish outrage" In
their minds there is no doubt as to the
cause Of the explosion, and they explain the
delay in taking summary action by saying
that the President is morally certain that
there was no accident, and wishing to de-
ceive the Spaniards with d feeling of Sc
curity, is using the short time to make the
necessary preparations TO enforce his ulti-
matum. If no action is taken, they say,
not a man among them will again pace the
deck of an American man-of-war; but If
business is meant, it would take strong
force to keep them from hurrying to the
front, wounded though they are, to take
hand in what they look upon as d personal
vengeance.
1--WE were warned not to go to Havana"
one said to-day, being told that danger
awaited us there. When we got there we
were again told, and it was current rumor
that the harbor bottom was honeycombed
with mines. We first chose our anchorage
and rested there for several hours, but the
harbor master compelled us to weigh and
proceed TO a spot marked by a buoy We
were reviled on the streets of Havana
sneered at until our blood boiled, and found
out for our own safety that il was neces-
sary for US to make our visits to the city
in force. No man dared to go it alone
There was no knowing what would happen
to him. The explosion itself is the best evil
dence that it was a mine or torpedo. There
were two sharp and distinct reports The
first was like peal of thunder close at
hand-a sound as of ripping parchment a
quick report, followed by tremendous and
awful roar, and then darkness and chaos
made more terrible by the screams of dy-
ing men, the fierce shouts of those fighting
for egress and the means of those who were
hemmed in TO die by fire or by drowning.
The Spanish war ship was lying close at
hand, and MORO Castle was not a pistol
shot away. Both have searchlghts, but
none was turned on Us TO help the work of
rescue. and because of the darkness many
brave men who could have been rescued
went down TO 'Davy JONES'"

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. 2o.-It was
reported here tonight that the correspond
ent of the New York Herald had sent
dispatch to his paper this evening, via Key
West, saying that divers had discovered
the Names plates driven in from the out
side and that none of her magazines had
exploded.
HAVANA, Feb. 20.-Lieutenant Com
mander Barnett, of the survey boat Bache,
said to a correspondent Of the Associated
Press to-day: ''You want the facts. can
tell you there are ninety-fve chances out Of
hundred that the investigation will show
that the forward magazine of the Maine did
not blow up first, If it exploded at all, and
that it was not the cause of the terrific con-
sequences that followed. The condition of
the wreck, when first studied, and later
careful scrutiny make this an almost alb
soute certainty
Chaplain Chidwick, of the Maine, has re-
covered considerable sums Of money, with
letters and other personal property, from
case the initials can be seen on the coat
lining, and may serve to identify the body
Of the wearer, but the harbor water is so
filthy that the marks are nearly illegible.
Chaplain Chidwick is one of the hardest
worked officers, ard upon him devolved
some of the most repulsive duties of the sit
uation. 1t is apparent that efficient work
is not possible with the divers and appa-
ratus at hand, and the arrival of experts
from the United States is anxiously
awaited.
Father Power. of the Jesuits, arrived yes
terday from Tampa and Immediately visit
ed the Names wounded in the hospital.
A dispatch has been received from Rear
Admiral Sicard saying that the lighthouse
tender Mangrove has left Key West for
Havana with the court of inquiry and addi-
tional divers and apparatus. She is expect
ed here tomorrow.
Neither Spanish nor Cuban divers will be
employed. To-day divers recovered the
cipher code book, the log of the Maine and
many official and private papers.
The wounded are doing well. Probably
four or more will be taken to Key West to-
morrow by the Bache.

Nell-known authority on International law,

ish authorities at Havana failed to take
proper precautions to insure the safety of
the American war ship Maine Spain
should pay indemnity fer the loss of the
Maine" Mr.. CoudeEt said. provided
the accident is found to be due to
the negligence of Spanish officials.
The vessel went to Havana on a
friendly visit and was entitled to full pro-
lection. 1t was proper that extraordinary
precautions should be taken to insure her
safety 1t was well known that there were
individuals belonging to the Spanish nation
who had i'll feelings towards the United
States. If any danger was known to exist
in Havana harbor it was to be expected
that Spain should inform the captain of
the Maine of the fact and use every means
to prevent any accident to the vessel. If,
on the other hand, q man with a barrel of
dynamite should have come aboard the
Maine and blown up the vessel, the fault
plainly would have been with the officers
of the vessel. 1t is their duty to keep the
strictest watch over everybody who comes
on board.

DEEP DRIFTS OF SNOW

Traffic ParaIyzed and
The Temperature Falling.

CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-The States Of Wis
consin, Iowa and Illinois are practically
snow-bound. Reports from Cedar Rapids
and Webster City, Ia. Freeport Blooming
ton, Rockford and Galesburg, ILL.,, indicate
an average snowfall since last night of two
feet. Throughout Wisconsin and northern
Michigan the fall was much heavier, in fact,
the greatest of the season. A forty-mile
gale has piled the snow into enormous
drifts, completely paralyzing street-railway
traffic and seriously interfering with the
operations of trains on the steam roads.
The Chicago Milwaukee & St Paul, the
Northwestern and the Wisconsin Central
trains have been delayed in some instances
fifteen hours, owing to the heavy drifts
and steady fall of snow, which makes the
use Of the snow plows unavailing. Rain
and snow alternated In Chicago and vicini-
ty, but late tonight the snow seemed to
have gained the upper hand Not enough
has fallen, however, to interfere with rail-
way traffic.
Reports from many places in Wisconsin
say streets are blockaded with snow and
railway trains belated.

General Mles's recent order to General
Merritt, commanding the Department of the
East to Immediately detail men and officers

guns are mounted. it was said at the War
Department to-day that while the order was
issued, as reported, 1t was nothing more
than Following out the plan of the War De-
partment formulated several years ago
when the present system of coast defense
was inaugurated The order calls for at
least twenty men and the necessary officers
to take charge of such coast defense en-
placements as have been completed and

defense points are planned and constructed
by the engineer corps and the guns fur

soon as completed they are turned over to
the War Department. and men are at once

twenty men, so far from being an effective
fighting force, is barely sufficient to prop

service that the War Department has asked
of Congress two additional artillery regi-

NATIONAL BALL LEAGUE
GOSSIP ABOUT THE COMING SPRING
MEETING AT ST. LOUIS.
Sunday Games to BE Played by All but
Two CIubs-Mr. Brush's Resolu-
tiOn-The western League.

ST, LOUIS, Feb 20.--The regular spring
meeting of the baseball magnates of the
National League will be held IN this city on
Monday, Feb. 2S. A large amount of bust
ness will come before the melting for trans.
action, probably the most important being
the arranging OF the years schedule. 1t
has already been agreed that the season
win be opened April 15 week earlier than
it was last year. The Browns will open at
home with the Clevelands. 1t is estimated
that about twenty more games are to be
played this year than were played last
season, and most of the clubs have an
nounced their intention of playing Sunday
ball, Philadelphia and Boston being the
only two cities now remaining in the non
playing Sunday list
The umpire staff will be completed, and
as the double umpire system has been
adopted, better work in this respect will
be looked for. There are now about 200 ap-
plications for positions on President
Youngs staff. 1t is said that Emslie and
Lynch will be reappointed, but the rest of
the list is a matter of conjecture.
A number of resolutions win be presented
at the league meeting. Among the most
important will be that of John 4. Brush
which allows for the blacklisting of players
field. Some consider his measure too se-
vere but it will probably be accepted in a
modified FORM
James A. Hart is strongly opposed to the
early opening of the National League
season. He objects on the grounds that it
Will necessitate playing the opening games
on fields covered with snow and in freezing
weather. He cites the fact that four years
ago, when the season was opened in St
Louis on April Is, the game was played in
snowstorm and that ON going to Louis
vile soon after the game was played on
field covered with two inches of water. He
strongly advocates opening the season on
April 20.
On the night preceding the league meeting
the baseball scorers will hold meeting, as
the scoring rules are in need of more uni
formity.
At this time there is much conjecture in
baseball circles as to whether Chris Won
der Abe will be present at the league meet
ing. IT is the custom at such meetings for
the home magnate to entertain the owners
OF the eleven other clubs comprising the
league circuit. and if Won der Abe is alb
sent, on whom the mantle of host will fall
is a matter Of discussion.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Feb 20.-The bliz-
zard which started in yesterday morning,
and of which Milwaukee is the center, still
continues. Twenty-Five inches of snow is
reported by the Weather Bureau to have
fallen in this city. The storm is confined
to the eastern part of the State. Tonight
street-railway traffic is becoming congested
again, as the wind has increased in veloc-
ity and blows the snow back into the
tracks about as fast as it is cleared off,
The company does not pretend 10 keep
suburban lines open, and not a wheel out
side the city limits has moved since yes
terday afternoon. The temperature has
fallen about twenty degrees tonight. Snow
to the depth OF seven feet is piled up all
along the different lines of street railway
and it will be many days before it can
be carted away. Railway trains on all
roads entering Milwaukee are all the way
from two to fifteen hours late. The passen-
ger train on the Chicago & Northwestern
Railroad from Green Bay, due at 7:15 D. m.
last night, became stalled in a huge snow
drift about three miles from this city and
did not reach the depot until IL o'clock
this morning.
All the boats plying between here and
across the lake and northern and south
ern points are accounted for. The steamer
Iowa, of the Goodrich line, running be-
tween Milwaukee and Annapee, and which
was due here last night, drifted across the
lake and took shelter on the east shore.
The steamer Wisconsin, Capt Mccain

impossible to see more than foot ahead,
