Rocl5port, Mass, Aug. 23.-At mid

manded by Rear Admiral Higginsou.
The night, thick and cloudy as it

at some harbor, protected as they
would be by the inviting darkness
which prevailed.
The complications which developed

Commander Pillsbury had secretly

squadron, served only to increase the

A GAME OF HIDE AND SEEK.

Rockport. Mass, Aug. 26.-The bat
tie between the blue, or defending
squadron and the white, or attacking,
squadron was quickly ended eight
miles south of Thatcher's island. The
enemy had most signally failed to make
a harbor, having for its objective
Salem.
To speak from theoretic standpoint,
the white squadron was entirely de-
stroyed by the guns of the defending
battleships-
The surrounding and ''pntting out
of action" of the squadron in command
of Pillsbury was the eliminating in
chapters in the peace history of the
American navy. For the placing in
operation Of the maneuvers of the
warships off the coast of New England
the navy had long prepared itself and
had long looked forward with keen
anticipation.
Throughout the mimic war there was
placed in operation system of coast
defense which was admittedly of credit
to those engaged in it
The problem was so complicated that
on the war vessels here the weeks work
is viewed with satisfaction for the one
reason, if for no other, that the squad

| The final event of these war moves
was the sequence of many complicated
Developments Admiral Higginson ex-
pressed his pleasure at the real work
which had been done during the week.
He commended Stahele, the apprentice
boy, who was the first to report the
presence of Commander Pillsbury's
squadron. He said he believed that,
to some extent, the maneuvers had
taught the navy it's points of weakness
and strength during a time of real
action, and he believed much good
would come from the ''war game"
Admiral Higginson spoke very freely
of the signal service. He laid special
emphasis on the work of the men de-
tailed to signal duty and said he in
tended to issue commendatory letter
to all men of his command. He scored
the telephone service and said it APP
peared very Anticipated. He empha-
sized the necessity of the wireless
telegraphy and illustrated the benefits,
if ships of the navy were fitted with
this new invention.

is surely q wonderful remedy for ca
tarrhal affections j. d. Botkin.
This is case of catarrh of the stom-
ach which had run for twenty-five
years, according to his statement, and
Peruna has at once come to his relief,
promptly accomplishing for him moro
benefit than he had been able to find
in all other remedies during a quarter
of century.
It stands to reason that . man OF
wealth and influence, like Congress-
man OF the great United States, has left
no ordinary means untried and no stone
unturned to find q cure.
If such cures as these do not verify
the claim not only that dyspepsia is due
to catarrh of the stomach, but also that
Peruna will cure catarrh of the stomach,
it is impossible to imagine how any
evidence could do so.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving .
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.
