FROM Washington
n ow a Little Soy Was Saved.

Washington, ID. c." When our
boy was about 16 months old he broke
out with rash which was thought to
be measles. In a few days he had
swelling on the left side of his neck
and it was decided to be mumps. He
was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said it was scrofula and ordered
salve. He wanted to lance the sore,
but | would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about four
months when the bunch broke in two
places and became running sore.
Three doctors said it was scrofula and
each ordered q blood medicine. A
neighbour told me of a case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. l decided to
give it to my boy and in short while
his health improved and his neck
healed so nicely that [ stopped giving
him the medicine. The sore broke
out again, however, whereupon | again
gave him Hoods Sarsaparilla and its
persistent use has accomplished COM

EXTRA PAY OF ARMY OFFICERS
Doing Civil Duty in Cuba-A state
ment by Secretary Root.

Washington, April 21.-Secretary
Root made a brief statement at the
war department today in reference TO
the charge that extravagant allotments
had been made to the principal army
officers serving in Cuba for the main
tenance of their establishments out OF
the revenue of the islands. He said
about year ago, before he came INTO
office, representations were made tnat
1t was impossible for army officers TO
live on their salaries in Cuba The
question of providing for their extra
expenses out OF the revenues OF the
island was suggested to Secretary
Alger and the attorney general was
called upon for an opinion on this sub
ject. The latter held that there was
no legal objection to such a procedure
and his opinion was approved by lne
then secretary of war.
Secretary Root said that allotments
were made at that time in accordance
with the attorney generals opinion
and they have since been continued.
In response to direct inquiry, he said
that allotments for extra expenses had
been made to four officers, namely
the military governor of the island,
the military governor of the city or
Havana the collector of the city of
Havana and the treasurer of the is
land.
The secretary said that he did not
recall the extra amount of the allot-
ment in each case, but that altogether
they did not exceed $4,000 or $4,000 a
year. In answer to another question
Secretary Root said that Colonel
Black, the engineer officer at Havana,
did not receive any extra allowance,
but that he was certainly entitled to
it. Although showing that the plan
fr,1lr- hrr h raf r.x-
Root made it clear that it was orig
mated by his predecessor, Secretary
Alger.
At the time of the original allowance,
the office of governor general was held
by General Brooke recently sue
ceeded by General Wood, the incum-
bent. General William Ludlow Was
the military governor Of Havana
and received an allowance as such.
The other two officers favored with
extra allowances are Colonel T. N.
Bliss, of the commissary department,
who holds the office of collector of the
port of Havana, and Major Eugene
F. Ladd, qua-termaster of volunteers
and captain of the Ninth cavalry, who
performs the functions of treasurer of
the island.
Secretary Root further stated that
full particulars of the transaction will
be furnished to congress in response
to the resolution of Senator Bacon in
the event of the passage of that meas
ure. The reply will include a copy
of the opinion of the attorney general
upon which the action of the war de-
partment is based.
The secretary was asked if similar
allowances for expenses were made in
the cases of the officers in Porto Rico
or in the Philippines and he replied
most emphatically mo"
