the World from Santiago say: --
The Cuban insurgents are retarding
the work of the military governor In re
storing order in the city. -They still are
disgruntled because the town is not de
livered over to - them. The Spaniards
are accepting the change of government

warned, nnder threat of extreme penal
ty, not to molest Spanish' reeidents or

sort, while the Aurora and Aurania were
bound down. - Another, large propeller
was also bound down near the town, and

Smith got the -propeller and the tow
mixed in his mind, and in dodging the
propeller dashed into the Aurora, which
was making in the neighborhood of sev
enteen miles an hour. ' .
The force of the blow sent the Smith
over to the west side of the channel and
sank her. - The Aurora was badiy dam
aged about the bow. The crew and a
pleasure party on board the Smith were
rescued without accident and sent to the
Old Club. - .

in the Rumor by Either Amer

near Ponce. The usual reports Tof Spanish victory ;
are being circulated. . It is said that the official re
ports state that the Americans , were repulsed with
considerable loss while attempting to effect a land
ing at Bahia Honda. The people have been fooled
so often recently by reports of this character that the
news has created but little excitement.
-a
Victobia, B. C, July 23. The steamer
Garronne.'which arrived today from St.
Michaels, brought 166 miners, a million
and a -half in dust ...v( nuggets, and

Washington, July 23. Major SnifBn,
accompanied by three paymasters, wil 1
leave New York tomorrow for Santiago,
to pay Shafter's army, and then proceed
to Porto Eico to pay Miles' forces.
- A telegram . has been received from
Sbafter requesting that gold and paper
be sent to' Santiago, as tradesmen re
fuee to accept Amarican silver dollars
at par value, and rate them at fifty cents
011 the dollar. Considerable indignation
is expressed that the American money
is discounted, and the suggestion has
been made to to the secretary of war
that any tradesman who refuses to ac
cept United States money of any kind at
100 cents on the dollar should be re
moved from the territory over which the
American flag floats.
- The supposition is that the refusal to
accept silver dollars is the result of the
long use of silver in Mexico and South
American countries which has never
passed for more than half its face value.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all othe diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional . treatment.
Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from ten
drops to a teasooonful. It acts directly
on tbe blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. ' They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
Circulars and testmonials. Address,

TBE EXCELENCE OF SYBUP OF FIGS

to the care and skill with which it is

Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true- and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California .Fia Syrup Co.

assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other pal j
ties. - The high standing; of the Cali
fornia Fi9 Syrup Co. with the medi- :
cal profession, and the. satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and

ing them, and it does not gripe nor j
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
