Iccrotnry T.onir Protects Airntmt tlio (''not Innliitiut Ions Cut Uiion tlio Ailmlrul, mill Spanks u Good Word Vv All tho flullnnt Men. Washington, Aug. 9. The secretary of the navy has received several let ters violently attacking Admiral Samp tion. In his reply to ono of theso he Bays: "I run In receipt of your letter, and hUHtcn to assure you that what you say about Admiral Sampson Is so unjust thnt It can only be pardoned on the Kiound of your Ignorance of the whole matter. You have no appreciation of tho responsibilities that have been upon Admiral Sampson; of his very superior attainments as an officer, and the splendid work he has done In pre paring for the naval victory which was the crowning accomplishment of his efforts for weeks and weeks before Santiago. Justice Is always done In tho long run. But when you Indulge In such unfounded criticism I cannot for bear to protest, ns I should feel bound to do If you had referred In similar terms to any other of our deserving olllccrs. "I can well understand why the friends of other olllcers should be so enthusiastic and earnest as I am In giving them the credit they so richly, every one of them, deserve for their glorlons work. I cannot conceive of anybody so mean as to detract by a single hair from their merit. But I cannot understand why such a bitter feeling Is manifested In many quar ters towards Admiral Sampson, when nil these olllcers, subordinate to him. In their reports, clearly and cordially recognize the fact that, although at tho beginning he was, by orders from Washington, going to confer with Gen eral Shatter, yet the battle was fought under his order, and that the victory was the consummation of his thorough preparation. For myself, I know of no predilection for any one of these gallant men. I would crown every one of them with laurel. I want them all to have their Just deserts. Kveiy one of them de serves unstinted praise; not one of them deserves anything less than full measure for that day's work. And, therefore. I can think of nothing more cruel than a depreciation of the merit of tho faithful, devoted, patriotic com-mander-ln-chlef, physically frail, worn with sleepless vigilance, welshed wjth measureless responsibilities and details, letting no duty go undone, for weeks with ceaseless precautions blockading the Spunlsh squadron, and at last, by the unerring fulfillment of his plans, crushing It under the fleet which exe cuted his command, yet now compelled In dignified silence to be assailed as vlndlcately ns If lie were an enemy to his country. "I am sure that no ono more depre cates such an attack than the officers of the fleet commodore, captains and all. Among them all Is peace; whatever disquiet there may bo elsewhere, tho navy Is serene." Thousands of persons havo been cured of piles liy using UoWitt s Witcli Jluzul fcalvo.

It la said that ns Boon as the Amerlcnn reply Is received Senor Sagasta will nominate peace commissioners. It Is said here that theso questions, the answer declares, must bo decided by peace commissioners: The Cuba debt; the date and manner of evacuat ing Cuba nnd Porto Hleo, and the man ner of protecting Spaniards and Span ish Interests there; whether Spain shall withdraw Its artillery, arms and am munition now In Cuba and Porto Itlco; the future of tho Philippines. The treaty will be signed, BUbJect to approval by tho cortes, which will be convoked Immediately. The cabinet council will appoint Spanish commis sioners to meet the Americans to ar range as to the future of the Philip pines and other details. Senor Sagasta, when asked by a press correspondent whether there was any truth In the statement cabled to the United States that he had cabled di rect to Washington on the subject of Spain's acceptance of the American peace negotiations, categorically and emphatically denied that he had sent such n communication. EI Liberal says: "The government received an offer from England to mediate. The offer was favorably re garded, but was not accepted. The presence of a large British squadron near Gibraltar Is clear evidence of an understanding, If not an alliance, be tween England and the United States." Doslro Fop Generosity. Paris, Aug. D. Tho Temps says It Is to be hoped the noble resignation of Spain will touch tho heart of President McKInley and that he will consider It honorable to show that If the United States Is strong, It Is great and magnani mous enough to spare the vanquished enemy, not to abuse Its victory and to desire by the generosity of Its acts to make the treaty with the people they have learned to respect on the battle field a veritable pact friendship. It is certain, The Temps adds, that Spain will be rewarded for her wisdom. Freed from the Cuban Incubus, she will re gain energy and vitality and march with Joyful steps towards a calm and prosperous future. Appoul For SpanlMi Wounded. London, Aug. 9.

And there are many widows and orphans who are In most urgent need of relief." NcRotlnttoni Mny Occur In Pnrls. London, Aug. 9. Tho Madrid corre spondent of Tho Times says: "The promptitude with which the Spanish cabinet accepted the terms, on receipt of the American explanations, shows that It does not desire to waste time In dilatory procedure. The question when direct negotiations will begin is rather doubtful, probably because the cabinet Is resolved to act scrupulously In accordance with theletterandsilrlt of tho constitution and the best author! ties disagree In the Interpretation of the constitutional law. It Is believed that the direct negotiations will occur In Paris." Spanish Interim! Troubles. London, Aug. 9. A special dispatch from Madrid says: "The government has sent a squadron of cavalry and a company of Infantry In pursuit of a band of seven men, who with cries of "long live the Republic" invaded a farm at Alcala de Chlvert, In Valencia. and seized a number of rifles belonging to customs omcers ana members of tho municipal guard."

West Newton, Pa., Aug. 9. John Evans, armed with two revolvers, went to the home of his wife yesterday and fired three shots at her head. She died In a few minutes. Falling In his attempt to commit sulrlde, Evans for tified himself In the cellar of tho house, nnd so far 1ms been able to resist ar rest. I'ollc. iiiiin Harvey was shot In the leg by Evims while trying to crawl through n cellar window. Evans Is CO years nf age His wife was nearly us old. They did nnt live together. When a Japanese girl marries, she blackens her teeth, thus to a great ex tent marring and spoiling her beauty. American husbands would not dream of such barbarism, but on the con trary, waut their wives to remaiu beautiful aud at tractive just as long as possi ble. In fact, every woman owes it to her self and society to preserve her heniitv. attract. iveness and amiability to the very end. Thousands of women fail of this for one great prevalent reason. While they resort to every device to preserve their beauty of complexion by external applications and possibly take the best care of their general health, they are too frequently utterly neg lectful of their health in a special womanly way. No woman can remain beautiful, at tractive or amiable, who suffers from weak ncas and disease of the delicate and import ant feminine organism. A woman who suiters in this way will lose her clearness of complexion, her eyes will become dull, worry and pain will mark her face with wrinkles and she will become nervous, sickly, fretful aud despondent. There is a sovereign remedy for all troubles of this description. It is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. " My illness wns caused by lack of medical at tention during childbirth.
