ADMIRAL CERVERA,
Commander of Spanish Flest Now in Cuban Waters.
SAILED AT DUSK.
The Fleets of Sampson and Schley
Leave Key West.
The Belief Prevails that the Hie Squadron
liupt to Ciive Ifattle to the Spanish
Squadron that Slipped Into
lite Harbor of Santi
ago tie Cuba.
Key West, May 21. —The prologue
has been spoken and the curtain is
about to rise on the first act of the
drama. This is the opinion of naval
men here. Dewey's brilliant achieve
ment at Manila is regarded as a sepa
rate episode. San Juan is already a
memory, and the sporadic encounters
along the Cuban coast are accepted as !
merely preliminary skirmishes, tenta
tive rather than decisive. The meet
ing of two great hostile fleets is the
pivot upon which the situation turns,
and that a few days, perhaps hours,
will bring them together is the uni
versal view here.
This view is confirmed by the news
that Admiral Cervera's squadron has
reached Santiago de Cuba. When the
intelligence came activity among our
ships was perceptibly heightened and
the work of coaling and provisioning
those in the harbor was rushed with
more than usual haste.
Sampson's and Schley's ships were
creeping toward the open sea as the
day waned and the ranks of naval men
ashore were constantly thinning, until
at dusk there was scarcely one to be
seen. The newspapar dispatch boats
have nearly all departed, with par
ticular care not to lose sight of the
United States warships. The center
of interest again shifts away from Key
West; but whither is the question none
can answer.
Madrid, May 21.—1n the senate yes
terday Count Penaramiro proposed the
senate's congratulations to Admiral
Cervera on his arriving safely at Santi
ago de Cuba and "cleverly dodging the
American squadrons."
Aunon. minister of marine, respond
ed in the name of the navy, highly ex
tolling Admiral Cervera. In so doing
he said the arrival of the Spanish
squadron in Cuban waters would "ce
ment the friendship of the Cubans
with Spain and will prove to the
world that Spain will never abandon
Cuba while the mother country retains
her vitality." The congratulations
were voted unanimously.
It was asserted here last night that
Admiral Cervera's squadron has left
Santiago de Cuba.
Admiral Cervera says in a cable dis
patch from Santiago de Cuba that he
did not sight any American ships dur
ing the voyage. He announces that
the crews of his ships are in perfect
health and enthusiastic.

Washington, May 20.—The regular
troops which are to accompany the
expedition to the Philippines were de

yesterday and orders for them to pro
ceed promptly to the coast will be is
sued. These with the volunteers from
California, Colorado, Kansas, Minne

Dakota and Idaho will make up the
sum total from which are to be taken
the troops who are to be sent to rein
force Admiral Dewey and enable him
to take and hold Manila.
The public admission that the occu
pation of the islands is intended was
made known in an order of the depart
ment detailing several officers for duty
in that connection. The four ships
that have been chartered for the trans-
Pacific trip should be ready to sail in
side of ten days.

NAVAL EXPERTS BOAST.
They Claim that Out* Monitor Could
Ip the Spanish Fleet it I Santiago tie (ulia
Army Ottlcers IJcmand Convoys foi
Troop Ship*.
Washington, May 21.—A1l the aews
that was given out Friday at the navy
department was comprised in one
short bulletin stating that the depart
ment had information, believed to be
authentic, that Admiral Cervera with
his Spanish flying squadron was at
Santiago de Cuba. This went to con
firm the newspaper reports and aisc
the Madrid cablegram published Fri
day morning, the latter a rather un
usual circumstance, for the Spanish
bulletins have been notably deceptive
ever since the flying squadron left
Cadiz. On looking over the charts
of Santiago harbor the experts
discovered that the place would be a
veritable rat trap for the Spaniards
with its narrow entrance, in which a
single American monitor could bottle
up the whole Spanish fleet.
<ien. Miles had another long con
sultation yesterday with Secretary
Long and these repeated meetings are
construed to mean that a point has
been reached in the campaign where
the army finds it necessary to call upon
the navy for convoys to take troops to
Cuba. This work is extra hazardous
at present. Convoys always are ex
posed to destruction at the hands of a
determined enemy, and with a squad
ron of fleet Spanish cruisers and tor
pedo gunboats of great speed lying in
wait somewhere near Cuba, nothing
but the most formidable convoy, such
as would be afforded by all of Samp
son's and Schley's ironclads save the
monitors, would give a reasonable de
gree of protection against attack.
There are indications that the mili
tary expedition will make its real start
from Key West, unless the atmosphere
clears through the destruction or dis
appearance from Cuban waters of the
Spanish fleet. If the start is made from
l'ort Tampa the ships with their heavy
loads of troops and stores will be ex
posed to attack for at least .'SO hours,
not allowing for the possibility of
spending much additional time off the
Cuban coast waiting for an opportuni
ty to land. On the other hand, if the
start is made from Key West the final
stage of the journey will be reduced to
the daylight hours of one day.
A VALUABLE FIND.
I.itruf I.ot of Ammunition whh on Board
a Steamer Captured by One or the llkck
atllng Fleet.
Key West, May 21. —Fifteen cases of
ammunition were found Friday on the
Spanish steamer Argonauta. captured
during the first days of the war. 11
was on board this steamer that Lieut
Col. Cortijo, Wevlers brother-in-law
was captured with other Spanish sol
diers now prisoners in Fort Mc Kher
son, Atlanta.
A secret chamber was found in the
hold of the Argonauta that contained
15 cases of ammunition, over 100 Mau
ser rifles and other war stores. The
•■find" was made by the United States
marshal's officers.
The discovery of the war supplies on
board the Argonauta will not change
the status of her case before the prize
court, as it had already been decided,
before learning of the find, that the
steamer was legitimately a prize of
war, no claims having been filed by the
owners of the ship or cargo. A like
decision was rendered in the cases of
the steamer Ambrosio Kolivar and
schooners Candidita, Mathilda and So
phia. The only formality remaining
to make these vessels the absolute
property of the United States is the
confirmation by the federal court au
thorities of the findings of the prize
commission.
The cases of the Buena Ventura, the
first capture of the war, and Pedro.
Catalina. Miguel .lover, Panama and
Ouido, all large and valuable steamers,
will have to be tried in regular form
by the I'nited States court, claims hav
ing been filed by the owners of the
ships and cargos.
The barkentine Charles F. Rosas.
750 tons, captured by the New York off
Havana on Tuesday, was brought in
here Friday by a prize crew. She had
on board a cargo of garlic and jerked
beef.

Havana, via Vera Cruz, May 21.
Spanish officers say all the strategic
points about the coast have been occu
pied by troops and that it will be diffi
cult to effect landings. Ambuscade*
have also been prepared at various
points, and they say Havana is so well
fortified that an army of 50,000 men
will be needed to reduce the place.
New entrenchments have been thrown
up and more heavy artillery has been
mounted, but it is difficult to obtain
any accurate details of such work.

PORTABLE SHEEP SHED.
Afff>rda Protection from Film In Sun
nier HDII Can He Moved to the
I'eedloK Yard In %%'luter.
A. D. S. asks me to give a plan for •
portable shed that can be used tot
fchade and a protection from flies it
summer and be moved to the feeding
yard in the winter.
Take two two by eight pieces, any
length desired —we use 1C feet. Bevel
one edge at both ends so that it can
be moved in either direction. Two or
three feet from either end, depending
upon length of sills, spike an upright
post, one three feet high, the other
four, so as to give slope to the roof.
Place posts of similar lengths u)«)U
the other sill. The posts on either sill
may be tied together by a fencing
board or shingling lath, as no weight
will be thrown upon them. Next girt
the two parts together by pieces cor
responding to plates. These should be
FRAME OF PORTABLE SHED.
not less than two by six or two by eight
inch, if the shed is made 16 feet wide.
Spike these to the posts so that the
weight of the roof falls upon them edge
wise. A brace from the plates to the
foot of each post makes it ready for the
roof. I'ine boards make a very satisfac
tory' roof. If the shed is to be used in
the winter the boards should be lapped
at least two inches at either edge and
nailed tightly, the nails being clinched
below. Where such a shtd is to be
tised for summer shade only, the boards
need not be lapped. It may be in
closed to suit one's fancy. I leave it
open. For summer proteciion from
flies it is important that the roof be
very low, as the gadfly is shy of such a
shield.
I think it highly advisable to replace
shade trees in fields that are some
times plowed, with such sheds as this.
By moving- them every week or ten days
very rich spots will be made during a
summer. Then there is not the danger
from lightning.
They may well be used in the winter
also. Where there is no accumulation
of manure under foot and good circula
tion of air, as there always may be un
der such a shed, sheep may be crowded
very closely for short periods during
storms. Such a shed 1C feet square
may well accommodate 50 sheep luring
a rainstorm. Kept upon a tough sod,
the flock might always have a clean
place. During many winters in this
latitude, or farther south, this would
make an entirely satisfactory provision
for wintering sheep, provided spring or
well water was convenient. It would
not require as much time and labor to
move such a shed as it would to haul
and scatter the manure if the sheep
were confined to a barn stable, and
there would be no loss, which is un
avoidable under any other system.
I notice that I have neglected to say
that the roof boards should be as long
as the sills, or even longer. Use such
length that they will extend three feel
beyond the plates. The roof will not
then sag at the middle so badly. The
accompanying cut will make the con
struction plain.--11. P. Miller, in Ohio
Farmer.
AMONG THE POULTRY,
The hen should never be frightened.
Don't feed much, if any, corn in hot
weather.
If you overfeed you will have fat, hens
and fewer eggs.
Hens divided into small colonies lay
more eggs than when crowded to
gether.
The object now is to hatch as many
chickens as possible as early as pos
sible.
Properly fed and cared for, goslings
will grow faster than any ot'her kind of
fowl.
A dunghill will eat as much as a pure
bred and forget to give a good account
>f it.
Island Poultry has found equal parts
of coal oil and olive oil a cure for swol
len eyes.
Feed chicks at first about every
three hours, and less frequently as they
rrow older.
First prevent disease if possible; sec
ond keep it from spreading if it breaks
out in the flock.
It may be advisable once more to rec
ommend occasional washing of roosts
with kerosene.
Fill empty egg shells with mustard
.nd cayenne and leave tliem about the
yard for egg-eating bens to indulge in
it. It often eures the habit.—Western
Plowman.
More Interest In ll»r*ed.
There is no question about the re
vival of interst in horse breeding, and it
is safe to say that more mares will be
bred this year than for any year since
1693. .Nor is the reason for this state of
affairs obscure. Horses are getting
scarce good ores, especially—and
again bring prices that pay for their
oats. The prices in the country have
advanced more than in the market as a
'ule, and it is hard to pick up horses
and make any money shipping them
where they could be had very cheap two
cr three years ago. —National Stock

TRIALS OF SALESWOMEN.
Mrs. Pinkham Says Standing StiU Is One of ST~
Woman's Most Trying Tasks. p
nave you ever thought why it is that no
many women or girls rather walk for
than stand still for ten minutes?
It is because most women suffer from some
derangement of their delicate organism, the
discomfort from which is less trying when VHV
they are in motion than when standing.
So serious are these troubles and so dangerous to
health that the laws in some states com
pel employers to provide resting places for 1
their female employees.
Hut no amount of law can regulate -
the bard tasks of these women. Cus
tomers are exacting, and expect the Jg*;.:
saleslady to be always cheerful
and pleasant. How can a girl
be cheerful when her back is aching,whensheisas
sailed by lassitude and bearing- ~~ [j US-J p- down pains? No mat
ter how sweet tempered she is ' naturally, her nerves give
way under the pain after awhile. Employers, however, don't
want cross and snappy salcswo MI men. Cheerfulness is very
important capital, and no one can be | ' amiable when racked with pain.
If you are ill or suffering, write without delay to Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass., and tell her all about yourself. Your story will not be new to
her; she has heard it many thousand times and will know just what you need.
Without doubt, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will help you, it lias

all the little things that make you feel miserable. Your letter will not be seen

every month. At the beginning of menstruation it was impossible for me to

"This procedure is contrary to the law,"

A FRIEND'S ADVICE.
And what it led to.
It Is not a common occurence that a
friendly word should be the means of giv
ing nearly forty years ol happiness and
health to the person heeding the advice it
carried. This was the case with Mary
Lingard. At twenty-five she was dragging
out her days in misery. At sixty-one she
finds herself so active and strong she can
do work that would shame many a younger
woman, and looks back on thirty-six
happy, healthful years of industry. But
let her tell her story:
"Thirty-six years ago I had great trouble
with my liver. The doctors allowed that
there were tumors growing on it, and they
blistered my side in an effort to give me
relief. I was at that time earning my
living as a tailoress, but for five vears,
between the pain in my side an'd the
blisters I was in constant misery, and
work was a drag to me, with no prospect
of relief; fortunately for me, however, a
friend advised me to take Dr. Ayer's Sar
saparilla, and finally persuaded me to take
a regular course of it. When I first com
menced taking the Sarsaparilla my side
was so painful that I could not fasten my
dress, and for a time I did not get any
relief, but my friend advised me to per
severe and relief was sure to come, and
cone it did. This happened, as I say,
thirty-six years ago. My liver has never
troubled me since, and during these years
I have passed through the most critical
period of a woman's life without any par
ticular trouble, and to-day. at sixty-one
years of age, I am active and strong, and

as this personal testimony. It throws all
theories and fancies to the winds and
stands solidly upon the rock of experi
ence challi ging every skeptic with a
positive "J know." Ayer's Sarsaparilla
with its purifying and vitalizing action on
the blood is a radical remedy lor every
form of disease that begins in tainted or
impure blood. Hence tumors, sores,
ulcers, boils, eruptions and similar dis
eases yield promptly to this medicine.
Some cases are more stubborn than others,
but persistence with I)r. Ayer's Sarsapa
rilla usually results ill a complete cure.
Mary Ungard began with a bottle, and!
went onto a course of Dr. Ayer's Sarsapa
rilla. When she was cured she realized
that a medicine that could cure disease
could also prevent it. So she took n couple
of bottles each spring and kept in perlcct
health. There are thousands of similar
cases on record. Some ot these are
fathered into Dr. Ayer's Curebook, a little
ook of ioo pages which is sent free by the
J. C. Ayer Co., Lowell, Mass. Write lor it.
