WORK OF NEWSPAPER FLEET.
Col. DiehI Tells How News Was
Gathered From the War.

Ools Oleni Ieals HOW News was
Gathered From the War.
New York, Jan. 1S.-The Yonkers Board
of Trade had its fourth annual dinner at
the Hollywood Inn tonight. 1t was a
war banquet.
The principal speakers were Capt R. D.
Evans and Capt. H c. Taylor who COM
manded the Iowa and Indiana during the
war, and Col. Charles S. Diehl, assistant
general manager of the Associated Press,
who was in general charge of that asso-
cations war news service in and around
Cuba.
The first toast, The officers and Men
of the United States Navy" was respond
ed to by Capt. Evans who in the course
of his speech said that long before the
war was declared every man in the navy
felt that war existed. The Spaniards had
blown up a ship for us, and deny it who
might, way down in our hearts we fought
and whipped the Spanish because they
blew up the Maine"
Col. Diehl, in responding to the toast,
"The Newspaper Fleet in the War;" told
of the work of getting the news from the
front. He said that while the war STRAIT
egists We're scrutinizing the maps at Wash
ington the newspapers were compelled TO
give equal study as TO how the news OF
possible events growing out of the war
with Spain was to be covered. Maps were
prepared showing the lines of cable com
munication in the West Indies.
The difficulties presented at the outset
were really very great. 1t was known that
the cable communication with Cuba would
be cut off, and the news managers would
be forced to contrive a new method Dis
patch boats had never before been used
for such purposes. The difficulties that
would be experienced while cruising with
the naval vessels also presented them
selves The innovation was tried, and
aside from this one man was put on each
of the fagships by permission by the gov
ernment.
There were fifteen dispatch boats cruis-
ing from Santiago 10 Jamaica and Hayu
No matter what the weather the boats
left regularly every night. This service
commanded the admiration of the naval
officers. who recognized the dangers ana
difficulties that the men on the dispatch
boats had to meet in furnishing the news
napers of the world with the latest news
Nv tho dispatch boats, supplies and ice
were also taken TO the sick.
Resides having men aboard the fiaSshipS
Nav York and Brooklyn. five dispatch
boats had to be chartered by this asso-
citation. and upwards of 100000 had been
speat to get the news 10 the papers.
Col. Diehl told of incidents of the trips
The newspaper boats had been allowed TO
20 with the fleets, but their commanders
we're in ignorance of naval rules and they
were frequently called to order oy naval
CAPTAINS like Evans and Taylor.
TSba most effective method of calling sucn
commanders to order was solid shot Just
abead The flag indicating that boat was
a newspaper craft was red, and at a lit
tle distance looked like the Spanish en-
bler. That flag brought many shells whis-
ting over the craft of the newspapers.

work at Siboney, and who died there
through devotion to duty.

There Is no denying the serious fact that
there IS a great amount of sickness from
the grip; that overworked men and women
row suffer more than at any other time of
the year from lassitude, headaches, slight
chills and fever and other symptoms OF
imperfect health: that people fall sick
more readily now than at any other time
of the year; and that whenever an epi-
demic does appear it invariably plays
havoc with those who are run down and
out of condition.
The utmost caution should be taken to
keep the blood pure and the nervous sys-
tenn in healthy tone.
There is no more excuse for the preva-
lent symptoms of stagnant, impure blood
in the body than there is for the barbarism
of filthy streets in lcity.
The relaxed and sluggish action of the
excretory organs loads the body with
waste material that poisons it and brings
on headaches, rheumatic pains sleepless
nights and profitless days, due solely TO
the circulation in the blood, or deposit in
the tissues, of these waste matters,
which Paine's celery compound alone will
quickly drive out.
When the arms, hips or back feel the
twinges of acute rheumatism it is high
time to relieve the kidneys and bladder
from the strain that so often brings on
Bright's disease, gravel, dropsy and COM
plications of diseases with other organs
whose health depends upon the purity of
the blood Prompt use of Paines celery
compound will save the weakened parts
from yielding to disease.
In its peculiar ability to invigorate the
body, to make new blood and TO regulate
the nerves, lies the great value of Paines
celery compound in all wasting diseases
and disorders of the kidneys, liver and
stomach.
Paines celery compound rescues shaky,
enfeebled nerves from prostration and re-
moves that feeling of utter exhaustion that
causes so much dependency among so
many worried men and women.
1t makes flesh, blood and strong nerves.
Paines celery compound is not patent
medicine! II, is not the discovery of some
quack doctor of whom his profession never
heard; it is not a concoction put up by
some man who first invented a name, and
then adopted a preparation to fit it; it is
not a secret remedy.

to marry her. The most famous was the
Marquis de Caux. The happiness of the
Marquis lasted many years, until the day
when Nicolini succeeded him.
ITO those who are surprised at PATHS
proposed marriage, she can say she was
too happy with the second husband to re-
fuse to take third one. Born In Madrid
of Italian parents, Patti became a French
woman by her union with the Marquis de
Caux. Some years ago when she took UP
her residence in Craig-y-Nos she was nat
uralized an English woman. In taking the
