SCROFULA
1t is Foul BIood's Advertise.
ment
But 1t Is Soon Cured by Hoods
SarsaparilIa.

Yes, Scrofula, II snything, may be called
the advertisement OF foul blood. 1t is the
scourge OF the world offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn end 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
taiht from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one tnat, 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:
any daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
ell 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-
rilla and began giving the girlthis med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking a few bottles.
She has had no symptoms OF scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA M.
SMITH, South Middleboro, Mass.

MUDDY WATER AND FINANCE.

The action of the Finance Committee
of the City Council on the subject of
clarifying our water supply was misun-
derstood by US q.
We now learn that the committee is
heartily in favor of the experimentation
tion scheme and that in due season it
will recommend the appropriation of the
s. 900 needed.
The reason it declined to recommend
that the appropriation be made forth
with was that the contemplated experl-
ments cannot be well made H. II next
summer, and if the money were voted
now it would have 10 be turned into the
Treasury again if not used before next
February, when the new financial budget
is presented.
In short we find the Finance Committee
in sympathy with the people as TO clarity
ing the water supply and ii will recon-
mend the initial appropriation next year.
and in time for the experiments to be
entered upon during the summer. More
over. as We are Informed, this plan is IN
accord with the views Of the Supernten-
dent Of the Water-Works
SO. the situation is gratifying in the
highest degree. We can afford to wait
awhile before actual experimental work
is entered upon. especially as every day
that passes adds to our store of know
ledge concerning filtration processes in
use in other localities
Yesterday we thought the Finance Com
mittee's action calculated TO cause
troublesome delay. but knowing it's mo-
tlves and purposes now. we are glad TO
be able to set ii down as a true friend Of
water Improvement

J. II. Sears. Lieutenant B. Wells and three
invited correspondents Of the Associated
Press. went into the harbor In a steam
launch. which moved slowly In order TO
make close observation Of the Spanish
forts and batteries Commodore Schley
over and over again expressed the belief
that our fleet probably could have ent-
cred the harbor without the loss OF a
single ship. The mines might have stop
ped them by sinking the leading ship.
but this Is a chance Of war.
Commodore Schley's party first steamed
around the wreck OF the Relna Mercedes.
At the firing station on the west side.
which Commodore Schley inspected In
person. the American party met Spanish
artillery captain who was courteous but
gloomy. The Commodore advised the
officer with the few men under his COM
mand to go up to the city and surrender
as quickly as possible. Commodore Schley
then. after a glimpse Of Santiago City.
returned TO the Brooklyn.
Captain Cooke OF the Brooklyn Is auth
ority for the statement that the Infana
Maria Teresa has foated OF the reef on
which she stuck and her heavy armament
is practically unlnjured. The captain also
says the cruiser most surely will be saved.
The Cristobal Colon may also be saved,
though a good deal depends upon the
weather.

ALREADY UNDER WAY.
Simpsons Ships on for Porto Rico-Shaf-
ter to Stay in Santiago


Washington. July lS.-The movement OF
the ships from Santiago to their new
fields Of action will begin at once. and Il
is probable that some Of SIMPSONS ships
were detached today and proceeded with
General Miles with the expedition toward
Porto Rico. They will be needed TO
cover the debarkation OF the troops on
Porto Rican soil. Others will follow as
soon as the full army expedition is ready
to make landing when the attack will
begin simultaneously from land and sea.
1t has been finally decided that none of
the troops that participated In the actual
fighting before Santiago shall be employed
on the Porto Rican expedition. There are
two reasons for this. First, the men have
suffered severely from hariships, climate
and from fevers and are entitled to rest.
Second. It is deemed to be very bad prac-
tlce to allow soldiers who have been ex-
posed to yellow fever to be brought in con-
tact with those fresh from the United
States.
Ten thousand Spanish troops are at
Holguln, ManEanillo, and other points
within striking distance of Santiago and
might not lose the opportunity to re-
cover the ground lost at Santiago II the
place were left insuficlently protected.
Therefore Skaters entire army Is to be
on guard on the high hills in the rear Of
the town until the men have stamped out
the yellow fever Then they will take
turn at the Spanlards II they can be
found, and II may be that Skaters march
will end at Havana.

SPANS FLAG HAULED DOWN,

copyrighted 1898 by the Associated Pressl
Under Moro Castle, HartHr Santiago,
July 1S,--The lowering of the emblem Of
the defunct sovereignty of Spain in this
part of the world yesterday was witnessed
by the few Spanish and American troops
on shore and by the Brooklyn and New
York, the Vixen and Vesuvius lying with
in a few hundred yards Of the harbor en-
trance.
Almost Immediately after the flag was
hauled down steam launches, commanded
by Lleutenants Hobson and Palmer, en-
tered the harbor, penetrating as far as the
firing stations Of the submarine mines
These mines were found not to be 80
formidable as was expected, and later in
the afternoon they were all exploded
under the supervision of the Vixen. Six
or seven steamers In the harbor fall as
prisoners to the army and navy.
Soon after Commodore Schley, with
Captain Cook of the Brooklyn Lieutenant
