NO FEAR OF FAILURE.
Departure of Gen. Brocke's Com
mand for Porto Rico

The War Department feels sure that its
elaborately perfected plans for the move
ment against Porto Rico cannot fail TO
be successful from the very beginning.
and no fear of formidable resistance by
the Spanish to the landing of troops has
existed for some time
Information was received at the War
Department yesterday that Maj. Gen.
Brooke. second in command in Porto
Rico. would sail for Newport News last
night or today on the St. Louis He will
be accompanied by the members of his
staff II is probable that he will be land
ed within the next four days.
Gen. Brooke will take with him a con-
siderable body of troops. including his
headquarters guard and the St. Louis
will be accompanied, for a part of the
distance at least, by the St Paul, hav-
ing on board Gen. Miles and a part of
his brigade belonging to the First Di-
vision of the First Army Corps
Other troops from Chickamauga will be
embarked as rapidly as possible and it is
expected that by the end of the week
very strong military force via have es-
tablishei itself at these points on the ISL
and
Among those TO go from Chickamauga
are the regiments belonging TO Gen. Fred
Grants brigade.
Formal orders were issued Yesterday
directing the First Florida, Second Geor-
gia, and Fifth Maryland Volunteers to
embark Immediately for Porto Rico.
These regiments are at Tampa The de-
cision to send them 70 Porto Rico was
partly due to the criticisms of the Ad-
mint tIr-.ioa for not having employed
Southern troops in the campaign against
Santiago and Porto Rico. The regiments
are well equipped for service and are

HICCOUGHS KILLING HER.
A Young W"n;an Who Has Suffered
From Them tfor Five Daxs


Eew York, July 25.-Yvette Becker. a
young woman of Harlem, has suffered
from hiccoughs for five Gays and the
doctors are unable to relieve her. In the
Wright Hospital today she lay upon her
cot more dead than alive Her cheeks
were sunken her raven nair was wet
round her temples from the terrible ex-
ertion enforced by her singular malady.
She was only half conscious, powerful
opiates having soothed the spasmodic ac-
ton to same extent. The physicians said
she was better and they hoped to save
her. Miss Becker lives with her parents.
She was attacked last Wednesday after
noon by violent fit of sneezing. which
lasted about five minutes This was sue
ceeded by an attack of hiccoughs. Ordi-
nary remedies gave no relief. The hic-
coughs increased in violence until the
young lady could scarcely breathe She
hiccoughed almost sixty times to the min
ute, and became so weak tnat the family
called in their physician.
When DIR. Knickerbocker arrived the
patient was in agony. the hiccoughs be-
ing so violent as to rack her frame like
a series of conyusions. He prescribed
aromatic spirits of ammonia and bicar-
little or no effect. Chloroform was used
but served to aggravate the hiccoughs
The patient was removed to the hospital
on Thursday nigh.
The hospital physicians admit that
they never saw d case so bad as Miss
Becker's. They put her under the in
huence of opiates,. in the hope that the
hiccoughs would wear themselves out
The patient was nourfshed by means of
less violent.
The relief furnished. however. contin-
ued only as long as the influence of the
opiates over the patient lasted
All Friday and Saturday. and a great
part of yesterday. the girl hiccoughed
with almost every breath as the ply
sicians Dhrased IT, She was somewhat
easier yesterday afternoon and for the
fnst time since her arrival in the hos
pital the hope was expressed that her
life might be saved
The disease is so persistent and so un-
accountable however. that the physicians
were not able TO predict its course with
any certainty. Cases have been known
where patient has hiccoughed for six
weeks and then stopped as suddenly as he
began. One man in New Brunswick n.
j.. rounded up a violent spree with fit
of hiccoughs which stayed by him for
nearly eight weeks.
Chronic hiccoughs like those described
are not easily accounted for, say the doc
tors. They may result from some great
shock or strain to the nervous system
or follow period OF dissipation or arise
from indigestion. Miss Becker had a
similar attack about five years ago, when
she suffered at intervals for three weeks.
She recovered from that attack and had
not been revisited by the ma1ady up TO
the time she was seized last Wednesday
The physicians who are attending Miss
Becker believe that her attack resulted
from shock. but what the circumstances
surrounding the seizure were it is i'm
possible 10 learn.

and Spanish Forces Untrue-Span-
ago or He Sent to America

Santiago, July pa committee of
American officers. Maikard, Morton and
others. went 10 the cemetery here this
morning and visited the tombs of the
Americans who were captured on the Vir-
ginius in 1873 by the Spanish warship Tor-
nado and who were tried by a drum-head
court-martial and shot. They also Wis
tied the tombs of Gems Marti and Ces-
pedes. leaders of the present rebellion.
Gen. Shafter will be requested to give
permission for the decorating of the
tombs
Some of the Spanish soldiers are not
displaying much anxiety to return to
prefer to remain in Cuba or go to the
United States. 1t is likely that if some
of them found the opportunity they would
take up arms with the Cubans. In fact.
one Spanish officer, Major Jose Ruiz. has
already deserted and joined the Cubans.
Advices received here today are to the
effect that Gen. Garcia was at Tiguans
last night This morning he marched to-
ward Holguin. which according to cou-
rier. has been abandoned by the 1000
Spanish troops commanded by Gen.
Luque. Eighty Spanish soldiers. with
five officers. from Holguin, have surren-
dered to Gen Garcia.
The reports sent from here by the cor
respondents of sensational newspapers
telling of fighting that is alleged to have
occurred between the Spanish and Cuban
forces in the surrendered territory are
entirely untrue No fighting has occurred
since the capitulation.
Gen. shafter was officially informed tins
morning that the Spanish force at GU
antanamo had agreed TO the terms Of ca
pisulation and laid down their arms.
Paris. July 25.-A dispatch frs Cape
Haitien says that the 1000 troops at GU
antanamo Bay have surrendered to Gen.
Shafter.

They separated as he approached. sta

the highway. AS he was ABORT to pass
between them one of them shouted sud :
denly:

Flewellin saw that the man had leveIled
a revolver at his head. and instead Of
obeyfng the order he bent Forward for
his whip, with the intention of forcing
his way past the highwaymen. The 9TH.

Attitude of Admiral SamDsOn

Admiral SIMPSONS desire to secure for
the fleet under his command the pr.ze
money resulting from the vessels cap
tured in Santiago Harbor is. no doubt,
based upon sense of duty he owes to
his Shipmates. 1t is true that the CO.
operation of the navy had considerable to
do with the capture of Santiago. but the
prize money from the destruction of Ger
vera's fleet will compensate our seamen
for their service, and as for recognition
for bravery, they must, as the army, look
into the hearts of their grateful eoun-
trymen for the esteem in which they are
held. Although the army does not share
in prizes captured, 1t can share with the
navy as a source of pleasure in drinking
Heurioh's beer, Heurich's is recognized
for its purity, age, and strength, which
accounts for. the cause of its being held
in such high esteem by everyone Heu-
rich's can be had at all leading hotels and
restaurants and by 'phoning six-thirty-
four, Arlington Bottling Co.
