Lieut.. Perry Says There Are NO Bald
Heads in the Arctic Region
The people who come back from
K1ondike testify to the fact that no
native bald heads are there. The evil
dence is that the cold climate Kills the
germs that eat the hair on at the root
Lieut.. Perry, who went to the Arctic
Regions. gives the same evidence.
Newbro's Herpicide has the same ef-
feet as the cold climate. 1t kills the
germ that eats the hair on at the
roots, and the hair grows again. Her
picide is the first hair remedy built
upon the principle Of destroying the
germ that eats the hair off. Its pne-
nomenaI sale demonstrates the orret-
ness of the scalp germ theory. Sold

DEFENSE OF SAN JUAN.
Plan for Principal Notifications Of
Porto Rico.
Spec Correspondence of The Evening Star

| Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
| SAN JUAN, P. R., October %, 1903.
Through the preliminary operations of a
| local surveyor employed by the military
board of inquiry which sailed last week to
the United States to report to the War
Department to armament for the
forts of San Juan it has been learned that
the investigators came to important con-
illusions. If these findings accepted
San Juan will be one of the best fortified
cities on the Atlantic seaboard.
The board of inquiry was composed of
Lieut.. Col. Livermore, Maj Reed and Capt.
Crabbs. They were appointed to inycsti
gate the forts and Notifications of the city
and report upon the same to the general
staff of the army to what improvements
are necessary. if any, and whether or not
it would be advisable for the United States
to purchase the old guns which now man
the forts and belong to the kingdom of
Spain. Under the treaty of Paris these
guns remained the property of Spain. Spain
recently made proposition to sell them to
the United States and thus avoid the neces-
Sity of transporting them.
The board let contract to Giles & Har-
ris, local engineers, to survey the forts and
make plans and drawings OF the same for
future reference and to accompany the re-
tiles in Washington. The contract specified
that the cost should not exceed s700-that
is, for the survey. The engineers are now
at work making the survey. The board de-
cided that the guns which Spain left be-
hind are of no value to the United States
and that all the forts must be manned with
modern guns
The board will recommend that Ell MORO
be manned with four ten-inch and two
twelve-nch breech-loading rifles. all mount
ed on Buffington-CroZier disappearing car
riages of the most modern type and that
the old guns be done away with. The equip
n:ent of San Crstobal, according to the
recomm enda ton of the board, is to be ex
actly like Ell MORO. Esambron battery,
the board recommends. should be equipped
with large modern guns and the ones now
there should be Abandoned.
The twelve-inch guns will have range Of
twelve miles and the ten-inch guns will
cover ten miles. The guns which are at
present in the forts cannot reach farther
than three miles. and in case OF bonn
bardment by a modern fleet of warships i:
would be perfectly helpless. The big ships.
for instance. could lie off four miles and
practically destroy the city while the forts
could not reach them with their present |
guns The present guns are Supposed to |
have range of 5000 yards.
