the flag of the republic.
It was stated today that the first call
for troops would be for $4,000 men,
which it is believed will exhaust the
entire available strength of the national
guard at this time, after deducting
those who are sick and otherwise in
capacitated for immediate service.
The total strength Of the guard as
reported to the war department is 49,
764 men.
Secretary Alger made several addi-
tional allotments from the emergency
fund for the war department. One
million dollars was given for the quar-
termaster's departments, chiefly to
meet extraordinary expenses in the
transportation of troops and munitions
of war; $4,000 for work with balloons
and 100000 for perfecting the army tel
egraphic service.
Gen. Greedy, the chief signal officer,
is a stanch advocate of the use of
balloons at the various ports of the
country and in regular field service.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The au-
thoritative statement was made at the
war department today that on the first
call for troops only the national guard
will be given an opportunity to Volun-
teer for service in war.
This statement is in accordance with
those made by Secretary Alger TO the
national guardsmen who called upon
him at the war department on Satur-
day, when the modified Hull bill for the
expansion Of the army in time of war
was under consideration. Secretary AL
ger thinks that such course is in
keeping with sound discretion and the
dictates of common sense, for the or
ganized militia has gone to great ex-
pense and have devoted much time to
perfecting it's members for military
duty Any other course he believes
would be destructive to the best in
terests of the guard.

service will remain intact, the gov

nate the regimental officers, which will
include those of the grades from Sec
ond lieutenants to colonies. The presi-
dent will reserve to himself the right
to appoint the staff and field officers.
Many applications have been made
to the war department for permission
to volunteer. and among men OF all
creeds, nationalities and politics there
is an expressed intention and desire te

NEW YORK, April 19-The junta

flags side by side today, in celebra-

resolutions declaring the island free

S. T. Estrada Palma said today: "My
first duty, in the name Of the brave Gu

loving American people for the stauneh
and unwavering sympathy and support
they have given US since the COM
mencement of the struggle for Cuban

very few exceptions, has so ably
espoused our cause and supported Us
with unf1jnching constarcy.

driven from the island the CubaLs Will

Our little daughter, now fifteen months old,
was troubled from her birth with Eczema.
Her face, arms, hands, and neck would break
out with red pimples, the parts afflicted
would swell and become terribly infamed,
water would ooze out like great beads of per-
splration, finally this would dry up and the
skin would crack and peel off. She suffered
terribly. Had to wear soft mittens on her
hands to keep her from scratching. We gave
two of our leading physicians good trial,
but neither Of them helped her in tho least.
purchased CUTICURA Soar, CUTICURA (oint-
ment), and CUTICURA REsoLvENT, and CON-
meIced using them as follows: After bath
ing wiped her with soft linen cloth, applied
CUTIoURA (ointment) freely, and gave her the
REsoLvENT regularly. She improved at once
and is now never troubled although we have
used less than one bottle of REsoLvENT three
boxes of SALvE, and of course CUTIcURA

lutely true and not exaggerated in any way.

The committee has decided that one
of the three battleships they decided TO

Chief Engineer Melville appeared be-

the engineer officers of the navy. He
said such an increase was imperatively
