AVnshlngton, June 11. Out of tho
maze of doubt nnd contradiction as to
the dispatch of the flrst army of In
vasion to Cuba, one tlilnK stands out
clearly, namely, that the government,
feellnc strong In Its present position
and plan, Is moving cautiously and
with the deliberation which It believes
will secure success unattended with
disasters. With this main purpose In
view the army and navy are co-operating
toward the dispatch of tho troops,
some 25,000 In number, under escort of
a strong fleet of naval convoys, made
up ot 1G warships, headed by the bat
tleship Indiana. Unattended by this
strong fleet the troops might have left
last Friday, when one strong naval
convoy was ready for this service.
Since then, however, reports have comu
as to the presence ot Spanish Bhlps In
the North Atlantic. Realizing that
nothing was to be gained by haste, and
that the war wiw progressing steadily
towards success, it was determined not
to take the one small chance of having
our troop transports menaced by some
scouting ship of the enemy.
As a result the troop transports have
not proceeded to Cuba, either Thursday
or the day before, as has been reported.
They are In readiness to go, but will
not move until the naval convoy Is
ready to accompany them, assuring the
safe conduct from Florida to the point
of destination. Whether that will be
today or tomorrow the war department
positively declines to say, and there Is
authority for the statement that any
reports purporting to give the hour or
day when this formidable flotilla of
Invasion will start was not only un
warranted," but meets with tho most
vigorous offlclal condemnation. The
administration feels that the time has
come when It Is of utmost Importance
that tho precise movements of this In
vading fleet shall not be published In
this country, and thus heralded to the
enemy.
The completeness with which the
transport of troops has been planned
Is shown In the olllclal list of transport
vessels clven out at the war depart
ment. Of this list 34 large steamships,
varying from 4,100 tons down to COO
tons, are at Florida ports ready to
carry our troops to the point of Inva
sion. There are some 15 other craft, in
cluding vessels suitable for conveying
fresh water, stores, etc., and for light
ering the troops and stores from the
ships to the beach when the embarka
tion begins. The entire transport fleet
of about CO steamships, augmented by
the fleet of naval convoys, 16 In num
ber, will make a formidable marine pro
cession, exceeding In magnitude the
notable spectacle of the naval review
during the World's fair year.
The flrst offlclal conllrmatlon of the
engagement at Guantanamo last Tues
day came to the navy department yes
terday and was made the subject of a
bulletin. The terms in which Admiral
Sampson described the affair tended
strongly to take away the ltvwte Im
portance that had been given It In the
unofficial dispatches. There was a no
table failure on the part of the admiral
to mention anything like a landing,
although the statement that the Mar
blehead now holds the lower bav may
by Implication carry with it the Idea
that her marines are ashore. Elderly
naval olllcers who have been In Guan
tanamo bay describe It as admirably
suited to tho reception of transports.
The locality Is one that would make a
good base of operation sagalnst Santi
ago itself, should It be decided to at
tack the latter town by the troops from
the rear Instead of by the warships.
The statement coming from San
Francisco to the effect that the real
object of the Charleston's voyage was
the seizure of the Spanish Ladrone
Islands has small basis ot truth In it.
It became necessary to And places In
the Pacific where the monitors could
replenish their bunkers. The officials
do net deem it prudent to mme the
particular Islands chosen for the pur
pose, but It Is obvious that the flrst re
course would necessarily be to some of
the Spanish Islands. Therefore It is
assumed that if tho Charleston really
goes to one of the Spanish Islands It
will be with the purpose of securing
In advance a suitable harbor for the
use of the monitors.
A very substantial evidence of self
sacrifice for the sake of their country
Is afforded by the taking up of a mili
tary nurse's duties by the daughter of
Secret ary Long, Miss Margaret Long,
with some ot her chums at the John
Hopkins Medical school, of Baltimore.
The young ladles who go with Miss
Long are Dorothy Held, Mabel Austin,
daughter of ex-Governor Austin, of
Minnesota, and Mabel SImls. They
have already reported to the naval
hospital at Brooklyn to nurse the
wounded and sick sailors who were sent
up from Sampson's fleet on the Solace.
Remarkable Rescue.
Mrs. Michael Curtain. Flainfield, III.,
makes the statement, that she caught cold,
which settled on her lungs ; she was treated
for a month by her family physician, but grew
worse. lie told her she was a hopeless vic
tim of consumption and that no medicine
could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr.

Kingston, .Inmalca, June 11. In San
tiago de Cuba there are now about
20,000 Spanish soldiers, chiefly Infantry,
but with a fair contingent o cavalry
and field artillery drawn from the
surrounding country. During the day
time the cavalry skirmish In the vicin
ity of the city, returning at night to
barracks. During the last few days
the activity of the Spaniards has been
particularly noticeable. Oxen trains
have been making their way to the
batteries, detachments have been
working on eniDlacements, and there
have been other signs showing that
the Spaniards are preparing a desper
ate resistance.
Some guns from Admiral Cervora's
ships may bo removed to tho forts.
The Insurgents, about C000 strong, have
taken a position on a mountain to tha
westward. Two thousand Insurgents of
this gathering are unarmed. General
Maximo Clomez, now about ICO miles
Inland, Is making his way toward the
coast. Admiral Sampson is actively
co-operating with the insurgents. On
Wednesday General Jlinlet, of the in
surgent forces, and his staff wont on
board the New York for a long con
sultation. The naval olllcers have been
doing splendid and daring work In
carrying communications to the Insur
gents, landing arms nnd making trips
ashore for the purpose of gaining In

and Vixen this work has chteflv de

Lieutenant Sharp, of the Vixen, and
Lieutenant Commander Delehanty, of
the Suwanee, have been daily en
trusted with Important missions, nnd
have carried them out successfully.
The Vixen's work has been chiefly con
fined to carrying messages to and fro,
but the Suwanee has been occupied in
a more serious task. This little gun
boat has landed 300,000 rounds of small
arms and ammunition, 300 Springfield
rifles, 100 carbines and 2,000 machetes,
with equipments and provisions. These
were handed over to the insurgents on
"Wednesday, about 15 miles west of
Santiago, to some 800 insurgents, who
came down to the beach, the main
body remaining in the mountains.
The debarkation of supplies was
tedious, but uninterrupted. The In
surgents reported that Irregular en
gagements between their forces nnd
the Spanish cavalry were of dally oc
currence. The Cubans were hard up
for supplies and ammunition, and were
fairly overjoyed at the sight of the
Suwanee's cargo. Some, almost raven
ous, hacked at the slices of bacon and
ate raw beef. They had been living on
limes, cocoanuts and sweet potatoes.
Ensign Gllrln, of the Suwanee, went
ashore and accompanied the Cubans to
their temporary camp Inland, where he
found ton or a dozen wounded men
badly In need of surgical attendance.
Bandages for them were sent from tho
Suwanee. The casualties were tho re
sult of a brush on the previous night
with Spanish cavalry.
To the correspondent on the dispatch
boat Wanda Ensign Gilpin, describing
his experience at the camp, which is
about ten miles Inland, said:
"I found the insurgents a rough look
ing and mixed lot of boys and old men,
rlggiid out any way, carrying arms of
all sorts and all anxious to borrow
everything I had, from my blouse to
my revolver. Four Spanish soldiers Jn
uniform, carrying rllles, marched Into
the camp while I was there and said
they wanted to Join the insurgents.
They were enrolled, but a close watch
was kept on them, as they belonged to
the civil guard. A Cuban ofllcer told
me such additions were not infrequent.
Tho Spaniards had Mauser rifles, which
were In fairly good condition."
Conservatlvo authorities believe the
United States troops will have to carry
out their plan of campaign without
placing much reliance upon the insur
gents. Several plucky young olllcers,
like Ensign Gilpin, have made trips
ashore and taken observations of the
Interior harbor and the fortifications,
locating tho exact positions of Admiral
Cervera's four ships. It Is hardly likely,
however, that the Spanish admiral
keeps them moored at the same place
both rtay and night. More than once
the olllcers engaged in this shore duty
have had narrow escapes from falling
In with tho enemy's cavalry.
It Is believed the navy will follow
tho landing of troops by forcing thr
passage of the narrow channel leading
to the harbor of Santiago de Cuba,
fishing up the sunken mines and com
pelling Admiral Cervera to make a
stand. If the destruction of the Span
ish fleet is successfully carried out It
will end the last vestige of Spanish
dominion In eastern Cuba. The harbor
of Guantanamo Is completely under tho
control of the American fleet, and the
lauding of mm lues at that point is ex
pected to occur simultaneously with tho
landing of troops at Santiago de Cuba.

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION
Will lie Voted on ll.v tlio House on
Wt'diuwdiiy -N'oxt.
Washington, June 11. The feature
of yesterday's session of the house was
the securing of an agreement to con
sider nnd vote upon the Newlands reso
lution to annex Hawaii. Heglnnlng to
day, the debate will proceed until 6
o'clock next Wednesday afternoon,
when a vote will be taken. The an
nexationists came yesterday determin
ed to force consideration, and for three
hours the opposition filibustered. Con
sideration of the resolution yesterday
could have been prevented, as under
the rules a recess until the evening
pension session necessarily would have
been taken at B o'clock, but it was plain
that the annexationists would win their
victory today. KeallBlng this, and
knowing the resolutions would pass
and go to the country, involving a
prominent issue, the opposition treated
for liberal debate, and their demands
were readily granted.
Eight Democrats voted with the an
nexationists in the movement to force
consideration of the resolutions. They
were Messrs. Kerry of Kentucky, Dev
ries of California. Livingston of Geor
gia, Uuekner of Michigan, Cummlngs,
Sulr.er and Vehslage of New York and
Cochran of Missouri.
The bill to enable volunteer BOldiers
to vote at congressional elections Was
passed, nnd a number of minor meas
ures, cliielly of a private nature, were
considered.

gradually growing weaker day by day.

Johnstown, I'a , June 11. An attempt
was made at South Fork Thursday
evening to kill or seriously Injure Quln
cy Lee Morrow, and advocate of Dr.
Swallow. An open knife was hurled
at him through a large crowd, but th
aim of the assailant was bad, and he
escaped Injury. The name of the
would-be murderer is known to the po
lice, but they have so far been unable
to locate him.

The .Next Mniillii l:peilItIon.
Washington, June 11. Assistant Sec
retaty Meiklejolin said last night that
It was probable that the first of next
expedition to the Philippines would
leave San Francisco for Manila this
afternoon. The transports which will
convey the troops to Manila are the
Ohio, Indiana, Colon, Morgan City.
China and Para. The expedition will
consist of about G.000 men, and with it
will 1. taken a large quantity of ammu
nition and supplies. The ilrst part of
the expedition will be followed early
next wek by tho remainder, so that by
the Fourth of July the entire expedi
tion may bo either landed or In readi
ness to land near Manila.
The bud is more eas
ily blighted than the
full - blown rose. A
young girl is more sus
ceptible to weakness
and disease that will
wreck her in a woman
ly way than she is after
she has attained to healthy
womanhood. Thousands of
women have their lives
leckrd by troubles of this
delicate dehcriDtion be
cause of their own ignor
ance and the prudery of
their mothers.
Whenever the wander
ing demon of ill - health
finds a ship adrift upon
the sea of ignorance, he
steps on board, takes
the helm, and steers
straight for the mael
strom of death The vouiiEr
woman who has not been taught the neces
sity of taking care of her health in a wom
anly way is a ship adrift upon the sea of
ignorance. Diseases that will wreck her fut
ure happiness will soon assume command.
Young women who suffer from weakness
and disease peculiar to their sex live under
a terrible nervous tension, and if they
escape death are always threatened with
insanity. The whole nervous system is
affected by the constant drag and drain
upon the delicate and feminine organs.
Dr. Tierco's Favorite Prescription is the
one perfect and unfailing specific for evy
derangement and disorder of this descrip
tion. It fits a woman for wifehood and
motherhood It is the best of all known
nerve tonics. It is the discovery of one of
the most eminent and skillful specialists
in disease of women.
" I was troubled three years with female weak
ness." writes Miss Ulleu ntey, of Bedford Citv,
Bedford Co , Va. " I had two physicians, but
ueitlier did me any cood. I was troubled with
pains in my left side all the time. When it was
time for inv monthly periods I thought I would
die with pains in my back and stomach. I also
had chills. 1 could noffeet up without faJntlng
Finally I took three bottles of Dr. Pierce's I'a
vorite Prescription and two of his ' Golden Med
ical Piscoverv ' I do not have any pains at all
and am in better health now than I ever was
in iny life."
