INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May "a. H.
Dockstahlner of this city has received
letter from his brother-in-law,
William b. Orner, on board the cruiser
Baltimore, now at Manila. The let
ter was written at Yok oh anna, April IL
and it indicates that the sailors knew
pretty we'll where they were going
and the kind of work that was cut out
for them. Part of the letter follows:
1--WE only called here for coal and
will leave the latter part of the week
for Hong Kong, China, about 1000
miles from here. Then we Join the
rest OF the fleet, and in the event of
war will proceed from there to Manila
The other ships waiting for us are the
Olympia, Concord, Petrol, Boston and
Raleigh, and with this ship added
will make hard crowd to whip.
Spain has but two ships of any conse-
guence there. They are about the
type of this one, and then she has
four or five frigates of the old style.
"They have an excellent fort just
outside Manila and an enormous army
on the island but l think we will
have very small job of it Yet We
might have more trouble than we an
ticipate in taking the place. At any
rate, you can expect good account
of us. We have an excellent ship, and
"a captain who would rather fight than
eat. and we all expect to go to victory
or to HI in short order when once
the ball is opened. We are taking
seventy five tons of ammunition to the
other ships at the station and, as all
the world knew of it, we have had the
ship ready for action all the way
over"

strength and health to exhausted women

unavailing. These vegetable pills ere

Pittsburg Improvements Completed.

The improvements that the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad have had I'M
der way at Pittsburg for the past fif-
teen months have been completed with
the exception of small amount of
paving between the tracks, which will
be done in the spring.
The line now has splendid terminals
at that point and sufficient trackage to
handle the vast amount of business
with not only economy, but with ce-
lerity The changes cost in the neigh
borhood of $45O,00O and consist of a
new yard at Glenwood lone of Pitts
burg's suburbs), double track trcstle
nearly two miles in length, the chang
ing of the line of road leading into the
passenger station and the building of
new freight yards near that point.

AS war with Spain has broken out
the officials seem to think that all
that will be needed is warships, tor
pedo boats and other instruments OF
destruction. But really what VIII De
needed more than anything else IS
good supply of "5 DROPS" (manufac-

war will be waged. The truth is that
something to heal and cure is precise
ly what is needed right now IN the
desolated Queen of the Antilles.
Those 200, 900 reconcentrados reported

visions, it is true, but they need good
medicines fully as much. If Miss Bar

the Red Cross relief work, was sup
piled with IS DROPS" she could, by
their agency, save many a sick Gu
ban. These miraculous "5 DROPS
conquer many of the worst diseases
that afflict ailing humanity, such as
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, the excruciat-
ing Sciatica and the other diseases for
which it is recommended. The War
Department should see that there is
an abundant supply of "5 DROPS" in
the medicine chests.

A cHEEREuL WOMAN.

From The Democrat, Brn1H, Indiana.
Every woman cannot be beautiful but
cheerful face often supplies the deficiency.
But no one can be cheerful and bring Joy to
others unless they haveperfect health. For
tunately, science has placed this priceless
boon within the reach OF every woman as
the following incident proves:

three months she was not only unable to

Senator Hoar, member of the for
egn relations committee, also joined
Secretary Long and waited upon the
cable experts. About 10 o'clock a
leading official, in the kindness of his
heart, as he expressed it, came to
their relief and gave them short
abstract of the cablegram so far as
unruveled.
THEN CAME THE NEWS.
This only whetted the interest Of
the crowd in waiting Half an hour
later Secretary Long appeared with
copy q the translated cipher in his
hand. There was n great rush to-
wards him, but the secretary good
naturedly made allowance for the ex-
element of the crowd and smilingly
read from the corner of the room into
which he had been forced, the cable
es%m.
WAS ONLY FIRST DISPATCH.
1t was Immediately noticed that the
cablegram, as officially promulgated,
did not entirely agree with the brief
summary of its points which had been
previously given out. and the immedi-
ate presumption was that in the short
time accorded for consideration the
officials had concluded that it was
public policy to expurgate the dis
q tch. Thus, as made public, it con-
tanned no reference to the cutting of
the cable by Admiral Dewey; to the
fact that he lacked men to take pos
session of the place, and finally that
he had the ~ntire bay of Manila at his
mercy.
1t was also noticed that the dis
patch bore date of May 1. The Nc
Culloch could not have occupied more
than six days in making the short run
across to Hong Kong. Therefore, it
was Immediately assumed that the
above dispatch was only the first of
two more that had been brought over
to Hong Kong by the McCulloch.
DAYS WORK IN A FEW WORDS.
In other words, Commodore Dewey
had written Sunday night; stating in
his message the brief account of the
days work. Instead of sending it inn
mediately by the McCulloch to Hong
Kong, he had delayed that vessel for
two or three days at least. probably
to use her in the subsequent lombard
ment of the town and forts.
The events of these last few days,
without doubt, were made the subject
of one or more official dispatches
which are to follow the original mes
sage.
WASHINGTON, May 9. Assistant Sec
rotary Vanderlip has received cable
from friend who was on the McCul-
loch during the great naval engage
ment in Manila, in which he says:
1.-THE Spanish fleet of eleven warships
was destroyed totally. Best of all no
American ship was lost or even dam
aged. No American was killed and
only six Americans were injured.

Press Comments on tho Alleged Settle

London, Jan. 6.--The Times says edi-
torially this Thursday morning: 1T
would be simple to assume that the
Reichsanzeiger has the whole story, for
1t quite omits to say what China gets
In return. To the world at large, how
ever, the material fact is that Germany
by physical force has obtained a naval
station. This is the fact that must
guide other powers in determining their
own policy The talk of lease Is n
mere saving of appearances. There IS
no doubt that both Germany and
China are aware that 1t is a practical
cesson in full sovereignty. 1t provides
u further argument in favor of an En-
glsh guaranteed Chinese loan"
The morning paper editorials gener-
ally are in the same strain as that of
the Times. They point out that the
contract is one in which Germany APP
parently gets everything, and China
nothing, while the question of the safe
ty of the missionaries Is entirely
dropped. Nothing, however, is said
about railways or mines.
