Drying preparations simply develop
dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions
which adhere to the membrane and
decompose, causing far more serious
trouble than the ordinary form of cat
arrh. Avoid all drying inhalants and
use that which cleanses, sooths and
heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such a
remedy and will cure catarrh or cold
in the head easily and pleasantly. All

morning from Atlantis. He went over
10 the war department this afternoon.
In the absence Of Secretary Root he re-
ported formally to Adjutant- General
Corbin, thus complying with the order
from the department. which brought
him from Manila. The general was in
the uniform Of q brigadier- general Of
the volunteer army. He looked the
picture of health; better than when he
left Washington for Manila.
He gave General Corbin brief de-
scription of the conditions in Luzon.
He insisted that the war Is over, and
that nothing more IL to be done except
to run down few guerrillas and irreg-
ulars. There is Difficulty In this work.

its prosecution is not "war." Ambus.

1t was not easy to tell whether the hid.

AN EDlCT AGAINST RATS.
Formal Proclamation Issued by the
Mayor Of Astoria.

Formal Proclamation Issued by the
Mayor OF Astoria.
Astoria. Or, March ia procla-
nation, of which the following is q
copy, was issued from the mayors
office today:
''To the Citizens of Astoria: In
view of the fact that there has been an
authentic case of the plague in China
town in San Francisco, and the Chi
nese are constantly coming from there
to other cities on this coast, and in
view also that the plague now exists in
o greatly increased number of ports of
the Pacific ocean from which vessels
are constantly coming to the ports of
this coast. and in view also of the fact
that rats take this disease more easily
than man, and are generally the first to
take it In any port, and then give it to
man: and in view of the fact that the
diseased rats cannot be isolated in case
of an epidemic; therefore I think II
proper that the people should be warned
to kill the rats by trapping or other
wise, without delay, as . matter of self
and public protection. This consider
of great importance, and hope it will
be done Immediately, while the councii
will adopt other measures calculated
10 prevent the introduction of the dis.
ease.

Others Injured.

One Man Entirely Cremated and -Four
Others Injured.
Pittsburg, March l9.-By the fall Of
q "hung" at the Monongahela furnace
at McKeesport today one man was cre-
mated, two were fatally burned and
two others were badly injured. Geo.
Martin is the cremated man. Geo.
Curvan and Sydney jackson were SO
badly burned that their recovery is i'm
possible. Stephen Stobeowski and John
Borcneck were badly burned, but will
recover.
Explosions of this character are fre-
quent in this section, but the absolute
disappearance of Martin lends an air
of mystery to the affair. Three hum
dred tons Of molten ore, coke and min
erals used in the production Of pig iron
became fast in the furnace, and Martin
and Curvan, as top filters, tried TO dis
lodge 1t. Suddenly the entire mass
fell, compressing the gas below and
causing Q terrific explosion.
Not q trace of Martins body can be
found. Curvan. when discovered, was
in horrible shape, and can hardly live
until morning. The other men, who
were at the bottom Of the furnace, Jared
some better, but jackson is 30 badly
burned that his recovery is next to i'm.
possible.

THE CUBAN PROBlEM.
Will BE Taken Up When Puerto Rico I,
Out Of tho Way.

Will BE Taken UP When Puerto Rico II
Out Of the Way.
New York, March 19.-A special to
the Times. from Washington says:
Four weeks hence, the year allowed by
the treaty of peace with Spain for the
Spanish inhabitants of Cuba to decide
whether they will be Cuban or Spanish
citizens will expire. Immediately
after that date. April IL, according to
the plan laid down by the administra-
tion at the opening of the present ses-
sion of congress, preparations are to be
made for the holding of municipal elec-
tions and ultimately for the election OF
a convention which will decide upon
the Cuban form of government. To
that government, according to the
original programme, the United States
is to surrender the control of the island.
Whether that programme will be car
ried out in its entirety cannot certainly
be said. The senate committee on
Cuban affairs has the matter before it..
The plan was Senator Foraker's, and
he secured the consent of the admins
tration to it at a time when powerful
interests were contending for q differ
ent policy, and when they had pro-
gressed so far that the plan had been
announced to the public as the presi.
dents plan. Senator Foraker is conf.
dent that it will be adopted, and it Is
understood that this is the reason why
he is so anxious for the immediate
adoption of a civil government for
Puerto Rico, with or without q tariff
annex. He wants Puerto Rico out Of
the way, it is said, in time for the big
ger Cuban problem to have q free field.
Senator Platt, of Connecticut, has
started for Cuba with Senators Aldrich
and Teller. Senator Platt is chairman
of committee on relations with Cuba,
and he, with Senators Aldrich and
Teller, form a subcommittee which
has been delegated to 60 to Cuba and
study the situation. Nothing has been
said about the duration of the stay the
three senators will make. 1t is under
stood, however, that their visit relates
to the pleblscite of April IL.

EIGHT NEW WARSHIPS.
Provided for in Naval Appropriate
Bill.

Provided for in Naval Appropriate.
Bill.
Washington, March 1.-THE house
committee on naval affairs reached q
definite and final decision today as 10
the number of new warships to be
authorized in the forthcoming naval
appropriation bill, as follows:
Two seagoing coast line battleshipa
of about 13, 500 tons each. to cost ap-
proximately SO, 800. 900 each.
Three armored cruisers of the high.
est practicable speed and most power
full armor and armament, to cost ap-
proximately $4,000 900.
Three protected cruisers, to cost
about 81, 141 200 each.
It was determined not to provide any
gunboats, in view of the opinion e1'
pressed by Secretary Long and Admiral
Dewey that General Otis recent pur
chases of serviceable boats of this char
acter answer present gunboat require
ments.
The committee decided to authorize
the secretary of the navy to contract
for armor at price not to exceed $o4o
per ton. This applies to the emergency
armor, about z 400 tons, required fol-
the battleships Maine, Missouri anc
Ohio, now in course of construction.
and not to the vessels authorized but
not begun, nor to those contemplated
by the present bill.
The question of sheathing ships.
which has excited much interest In
naval circles of late, was determined
by adopting a provision leaving the
question of sheathing to the discretion
of the secretary of the navy. Prior to
the action on the bill, Naval Con.
structor Capps, who served with Ad-
miral Dewey in the Philippines, was
heard on the sheathing question. He
urged in particular that vessels to be
used in foreign service should be
sheathed, as foreign drydocks were not
always available.

Union tonight, at which George H. van
Hoesen presided. Montague White, the
Boer representative; John E. Mulhol.
land and P. L. Vessels, q representa-.
tive of the Orange Free State, made
speeches. Mr.. Van Hoesen prophesied
that mot until all the Beers are in
their graves or all the English are in
flight will the war be over"
Referring to his interview with re-.
gard to the probable destruction OF
Johannesburg by the Beers, he said:
"A nation making war cannot pro.
vide drawing room for It's enemy.
The Beers would neither have lost nol
gained by the destruction of Bloemfon.
tein; but the case of johannesburg is
different, as it would provide splendid
barrack accommodation for the British,
and by reason of its location and other
advantages an invaluable base for oper.
ations."
As to the reported statement OF the
British that President Kruger would be
held personally responsible for any de-
struction OF property he said:
President Kruger is we'll able tc
take care of himself, and if he III not, ]
call upon you to take care of him."
Mr.. Vessels spoke briefly, beginning
with reference to the reverence with
which the Beers regard their women,
and the fact that the women have been
fighting in the trenches. He declared
the Beers had demonstrated and would
demonstrate their right and fitness to
govern themselves. He CHARGED Eng.
land with supplying the natives with
guns to use against the Dutch; with
falsifying the surveys, in order to get
possession of the diamond fields; with
misusing the natives and Beers, and
with other reprehensible things. He
concluded with an appeal that America
intervene to stop hostilities, and reiter.
ated the statement that European
nations would have intervened If they
had but known how the United States
stands.

there was a chance for the betterment
of the condition of household servants,
and 80 we'll did Mrs. Blaine regard the

The system was lnaugurated about 10

to work we'll, the plan may be quite
generally adopted.
