Do you have insomnia? Are you troubled
with neuralgia or rheumatic pains? These
conditions arise from disordered state
of the nerves and blood.
What is needed is DIR. Greene's Ner-

up the wasted, weakened, diseased nerves,
and to give supply of purer and richer

DR.. Greene's Nervura transforms the

The majority of persons find it hard to
realize that the body should be kept clean
inside as we'll as outside. Cleanliness of
the tissues within the body is as necessary
the skin. 1t is necessary to dissolve the
waste material which otherwise would
collect in the body and remove it in the
various excretions. These waste mate
rials often are actual poisons, and their
retention is the cause Of many headaches,
many rheumatic pains, many sleepless
nights and many attacks of the "blues."

of the Senate wing. The dissertation cor
sisted in the scratching of two names on
the doors and the breaking off of one of
the few pistol points left by other vandalS.
The names left on the doors were those of

for their surrender no objection was made

Later in the day the two men were ar

Mr. Hernandez did not disclose the contents

militia organizations of the States, and as an
incident to that work he was obliged TO
put forth his best efforts to secure the
formation of new organizations where none
existed and additional battalionS In the
States that already possessed naval ma al
militia. The great value of this work is
shown by the fact that many or the yes

old monitors that have been commissioned
for coast defense purposes are manned al
most altogether by the naval mllltlamen.
The Navy Department is about to call Tor
bids for steel floating dock capable OF
floating a. ship of 5000 tons, to cost $80OO00
and to be located at New Orleans. This
dock when completed will be one or the
finest structures in the country. Provision
for it was made in the naval appropriation
bill as a result of recommendations OF the
naval board, headed by@Admiral Bunce Al
though located at New Orleans the dock
will be of that floating type similar to the
big floating dock at Havana, which can be
lowed to any point desired.
The department is also looking forward
to securing docks at other points. A board
consisting of Admiral Ramsey. Engineer
Assessor and Naval Constructor Iinnard
will begin meeting at the Navy Depart
ton and Sabine Pass. Texas, and points
along Chesapeake bay with a view to recon-
mending sites for docks. The board was
authorized by the recent naval bill.
Another project for docks is contained in
the deficiency appropriation bill now before
Congress. This provides for immediate pur-
chase of two floating docks. AS soon as the
bill becomes a law the department knows
where it can purchase the docks ready for
service. They are at New York, and al
though of wood and comparatively small,
they will be of ineStimable service on being
lowed to Key West. where they will ac-
commodate all but the largest battle ships
these docks within a few weeks, perhaps
days, as the need of docking and scraping
the war ships which have been in southern
waters for a long time is becoming i'm
perntiVe.

the Cabinet after to-days meeting. Inc
Philippine expedition occupied consider
able portion of to-days meeting General
Greedy. who is organizing a signal service
for the Philippine expedition, was at the
White House about an hour during the Cab
met meeting. The discussion as to the
Philippine expedition bore on what the
United States troops would encounter there.
The population of the islands, the lighting
force of Spaniards in that quarter and the
geographical phases of the occupation OF
the islands were considered. Statements of
the troops which General Merritts forces
will have to cope with were considered.
They were estimated to be between 5000 and
10000, but the conclusion reached was that
the number could be counted as about 10OOO
men. The force already selected to go with
General Merritt was believed to be more
than adequate to cope with these troops,
who were thought to be in none the best
condition as TO discipline or equipment If
the number was found greater, the admin
istration would send as many men as would
be needed to reinforce those who are about
to start with General Merritt.
"A significant feature of the session was
the absence of any discussion of the mill
tary and naval movements as to Cuba or
the Spanish fleet This was one result of a
policy which has been agreed on between
the members of the Presidents Cabinet, and

Austria,s Neutrality.

LONDON, May 21.-The Vienna CORE
spondent of the Morning Post says: Il am
informed that the apparently superfluous
expression of Austria's neutrality in the
present war was prompted at the eleventh
hour by desire to counterbalance the eff
fects of her sympathy with Spain abroad,
and particularly in the United States,
where thousands of Austrian subjects
might be seriously prejudiced; 1t might be
too much to say that the declaration of
neutrality constitutes a censure on the
openness with which sympathy for Spain
there is no doubt. in spite of the statements
to the contrary, that religious affinities and
family ties led Austria dangerously near
