Discovered by a woman,

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by lady, in
this country. Disease fastened
its clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood its severest
test, but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed inn
minent. For three months she
coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a
way to recovery, by purchasing of
US a bottle of DR.. Kings New
Discovery tor Consumption, and
was so much relieved on taking
first dose, that she slept all night;
and with two bottles, has been abb
solutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz." Thus writes w.

MAN WHO Is TIRED

AL the time, owing to impover-
ished blood, should take Hoods
Sarsaparilla to purify and enrich
his blood and give him vitality and
vigor,
This condition of weakness and
lack of energy is a natural conse-
quence of the coming of warmer
weather, which finds the system
debilitated and the blood impure.
A good spring medicine is a ne
cessity with almost everyone.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is what the
millions take in tie spring. Its
great power to purify and enrich
the blood and build up health is one
of the facts of common experience.

can carry 1000 men, which with
the marines aboard, the Charleston
Just about to sail, will be of consid-
cradle assistance to the admiral, but
far from the number which he will
need. The total number of men to
be sent will aggregate probably
1000 as Major General Wesley
Merritt, who is to command the ex
pedition and subsequently to be
made military governor, regards
that as the least which can maintain
order in a city like Manila made up
of many discordant elements. Of
ten regiments of infantry and four
batteries of artillery from the vol
unteers have been ordered to con-
.centrate at San Francisco, and from
there and the regiments now in the
extreme west will be taken the men
for the Philippine expedition. 1t
is expected here that practically all
the volunteers will go.
Spanish Torpedo Boat Disabled.
Secretary Long was at the navy
department several times during
the day, and in addition to the dis
patch from the admiral, he author
lied the publication OF the state
ment that the torpedo boat Terror
belonging to the Spanish fleet, was
disabled at Port of France, Martin
ique. The dispatch is as follows:
Spanish torpedo boat Terror dis
abled at Port Of France, Martin
ique."
There was disposition among
some of those who saw this state
ment to regard it with suspicion,
suggesting that the rerort of disa-
bility was intended simply as a
blind and that the Spanish govern
ment had caused it to be spread so
that no complaint could be made
to France on account of the stay of
the boat at neutral port. None
of the officials, however, would ex-
press themselves on the subject.
Secretary Long also made public
a message which had been received
from Key West, telling of the de-
parture of the United States vessel
Uncas in command of Captain
Brainard. She is bound for some
point of Cuba with a view to secur-
ing the release of two American
prisoners, under flag of truce in
exchange for Spanish prisoners
held by this government. The state.
ment given out by the secretary on
the subject, was as follows: "The
United States steamship Uncas LETT
key Vest shortly before midnight
last night, with instructions to send
flag of truce with regard to ex
change ofprisoners."

The dispatches from Hong Kong
brought welcome news from Admi-
raj Dewey to the President, and
particularly to Secretary Long and
the naval officials who are watch
! ing the admiral's movements with
so much interest. While no apr
prehension existed as to his secu-
rity, nevertheless reinsurance OF
safety is always pleasant. The
kilograms indicate that Dewey has
lost none of the prestige gained in
his memorable fight of tw6weeks
ago, and that while he refrains
from taking the city of Manila he
has it practically at his mercy. h
The admiral expresses the belief
that the rebels are hemming in the.
city by land, but the fact that he
says explicitly that they have made
no demonstration seems to dis
prove thoroughly the published re-
ports that they had already entered
Manila and had begun career OF
bloodshed and rapine. The best
evidence of the effectiveness Of the
blockade maintained by the Amer
ican admiral, and also of the work
of the insurgents in surrounding
the city, is shown in the statements
in the dispatches that provisions
are scarce in the city of Manila
which seems to indicate an early
surrender by the Spanish authori-
ties.
Another published report seems
also to be refuted by the admirals
advices that the rebels had raided
Cavite, where the Spanish naval
station was located and presumably
large supplies of arms and ammuni-
ton were kept. If the rebels have
been supplying themselves with
arms it must have been with the
admiral's consent as his dispatch is
originally dated from Cavite, indi-
eating that he is still in possession.
The greatest satisfaction prevails
here over the good work being
done and the effectiveness of the
blockade being maintained by him.
DEWEY's DISPATCH.
The dispatch as given out by
Secretary Long is as follows:
"Cavite, May 13. Hong Kong,
May I5-I am maintaining strict
blockade. l have reason to believe
that the rebels are hemming in the
city by land, but l have made no
demonstration.
There is a scarcity of provisions
in Manila. 1t is probable that the
Spanish governor will be obliged to
surrender soon. l can take Manila
at any time. The climate is hot and
moist. On May II l captured the
Spanish gunboat Calloa, while at
tempting to run the blockade. l
have plenty OF coal. One British,
one French, two German and one
Japanese vessel are here observ-
ing"
The officials are making all pos
sible haste to rush troops to supple
ment Admiral Dewey's forces so
that if the Spanish governor does
surrender the former will not be
dependent upon the small number
of marines which he can lily spare
from his ships, but will have the
assistance of soldiers in holding his
position and maintaining order. 1t
is confidently hoped here that the
City of Peking, chartered as trans
port vessel will be able to clear from
San Francisco in very short time
to be followed in rapid succession
by the other three ships engaged
for similar purpose. The Peking

Yesterday afternoon one of the
worst hail storms passed over this

of hen eggs and did considerable
damage to garden truck and fruit.
The ground is literally covered
with the leaves knocked off the

for about ten minutes and put Big

is semi-ofhcially reported here that
the Flying Squadron in command
OF Commodore Schley is anchore
off Havana. It's present purpose
will be to protect the blockading
fleet in Cuban waters.
A Spanish report sent out from
Madrid and Havana this morning
SAYS: can American warship lying
off Cabanas, Cuba was blown up
and all on board perished." The
name and other particulars of the
ship were not mentioned.
The rumor is regarded here as
Spanish ruse and sent out for the
purpose of quietins the discomfort
ed popnlace at home. While it rs
discredited steps have been taken
by the navy department to ascer-
tain the origin of the story.
No news has been received here
this morning concerning the Span
ish fleet. The whereabouts of
SIMPSONS fleet is only known by
the department officials who refuse
to give out anything concerning its
movements.
Mai. Gen. Merritt's refusal to go
the Philippines has caused great
deal of speculation among the army
and navy officials here. 1t is said
that Merritt will be court martialed
and removed from his present po-
sition.

FINAL AGREEMENT
NOT ASSURED
Anglo-AmeriCan Commission Has
Not Settled Sealing Question.
RECIPROCITY DISCUSSION
The Enjoys Have Not Yet Reached
This Important Part of Their Du-
ties-New Foundland is Not
Acting Independently.

Washington, November 29.--The Anglo
American, commission had expected to re-
sumo the discussion of the reciprocity ques-
ton today, but as the Boring sea question
had not been disposed of the consideration
of that branch of the work was continued.
While considerable progress has been made
a final agreement on the sealing question
is not yet assured. Besides the present val
uation of the Canadian sealing fleet 1t is
said that the REIMBURSEMENT of the right
of sealing is another factor which the Can

Questions relating to the great lakes were
taken up by special committee this even
ing.
Sir James Winter, of New Foundand,
who is here as a member of the commiS-
sion, says that all reports to the effect that
New Foundland is acting directly with the
United States and independent of Canada
on the fisheries question are unwarranted.
This statement was brought out by pub
lished dispatches from st. John stating that
New Foundland was about to make her
own treaty with the United States, ana
this brought out such protest from the
Canadian commissioners as to endanger
the success of their mission.
The status of the Boring sea question IS
about the same as 1t was d week ago, eX-
cept that q large amount of expert tesu-
mony has been taken. The committee on
questions relating to the lakes was in ses-
sion two hours this afternoon, but the sub
jects were too numerous and important to
permit more than a general consideration
at this first sitting of the general COM
mission, since the commission came here.

which the lime was used 2SS5 pounds Of
seed cotton was gathered: on the phosphate
acre 1851 pounds of seed cotton.
The eight barrels OF lime cost $3.50. The
phosphate, 500 pounds, cost $3.50.
The acre treated with lime produced 53i
pounds more of seed cotton than the acre
in which phosphate was used. Allowing
for the difference in cost of fertilizer the
acre in lime gives, at4 cents for lint cot
ton, net profit over phosphate of $5.s2.
