There is a oolncidonco in a prolonged drought and in an increased mortality iroong' the negroes in Charleston, 8. 0., as also a connection between the two. The News and Courier, of that city, says there has been little rain in that section for 40 days or more, with the result that many ol the water cis tern j are empty. The colored people in the city depend largely for their water supply on water cangbt in bar rels from the roofs of their houses. Ill is is Tile water nnder the best con ditions, daily becoming worse when the lupply is not renewed. With the fail ure of this the negroes, having no knowledge of hygiene, resort to the sur face wells, which, if not worse, are as bad as the depleted cisterns. As a re sult the health officer's report of the number of deaths among the negroes for the week ended on Saturday last was SS, the deaths among the better situated whites for the same period be ing only two. An effort to remedy the conditions is being made in the estab lishment of artesian drinikng foun tains. Where tbese hav been placed sickness and death rate have been great ly reduced, and the News and Courier calls for their general introduction in the negro quarter. AN OPEN LETTER TO MOTHERS.

Stop! Women, And consider that in addressing Mrs. Pinkliam you are confiding your private ills to a woman a woman whose ex perience in treating woman's diseases la greater than that of any living phy aician, male or female. You can talk freely to a woman when It is rerolting to relate your private troubles to a mans besides, a man does not understand, simply because he Is a man. MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING INVITATION. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are Invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Plnkham, at Lynn, Moss. All letters are re ceived, opened, read, and answered by woman only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman. Thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing la return except your good will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, Is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. if li t..-.it S WHr Ail litf htil&. tiwit i.'ouKh Syrup. Twtm tiowL Cae in t i n .

MOBILIZATION OF VOLUNTEERS Over Tweaty-Nlna Thousand Men, Com posing Thlrty-Klfht Regiments Hats lima Ordered to Assemble at Clilok- aniauga National Park. Washington, May 18. Orders were given General Miles this morning sus pending for the present the movement of the invading army upon Cuba. The suspension was induoed by the proxim ity of the Spanish Cape Verde squad ron to Cuban waters. It is deemed by the department to be the part of wis dom not to risk lauding troops on Cuban soil until a landing can b effected under the protection - of a stronger fleet than is tow available for the purpose. The war depaitment today issued or dors for the assembling of 39,087 vol unteers at Chickamauga. This era braces 38 regiments and five batteries. These troops are divided among the different states. It is stated at the war depattment that the order to the New York and First Massachusetts regiments to pro ceed to Tampa by water has been coun termanded. The troops will go to that place by rail. Waitlnc for the Victory. Tampa, Fla., May 16. It is thought that the sighting of the Spanish fleet will canse the postponement of the sail ing of the fleet of transports for Cuba. Now tbat there is another chance for a decisive conflict between the fleets, armv movements will wait until that conflict, which it is hoped will resnlt in the destruction of the enemy, shall actually take place. Should Admiral Sampson prove victorious, no doubt is entertained that orders will be given lor instant embarkation, and the op portunity the army has been longing for will be at hand. Joseph E, Wheeler, the old Con federate cavalry leader, recently com missioned major-general of volunteers, will command the United States cav alry in the Cuban army of invasion. Major Gallinger will be inspector-gen eral of cavalry. Nearly 1,600 troops, regulars and state militiamen, arrived in Tampa to day and went into camp. The Philippine Expedition. Washington, May 16. It is said at the war department that General Mer- ritt will command the Philippine expe dition. Similar orders to proceed to the Philippines were sent to Major-Gen- eral E. 8. Otis, commanding the de partment of the Colorado. The orders to General Otis direct him to report to General Meirttt lor duty under bis direction in the Philippine islands. General Otis will be second in com mand, and will act as military governor of tbe islands in caso of the absence or disability of General Merritt Orders were also issued for an army corps of about 12,000 men for immediate duty hi the "bilippines. This corps will be made np of regulars and volunteer organizations stationed on the Pacific coast and in the far Western states. The Harbor Mined. San Francisco, May 16. The Bulle tin says: Almost without the knowl edge of people around and about San Francisco, for two weeks past the har bor and its approaches have been set with torpedos and mines. Tbe work is not entirely completed, bat is nearly so. Jfor 14 days, the governnier.t tug boat Unadilla has been placing the sub marine destroyers. . Over 300 torpedos are said to have been placed in position. The Unadilla did the work mostly at night. Her lights were dimmed, and every precaution taken to prevent spies from locating the defenses. Last night the work, so far as the UnaJilla is con cerned, was finished. The harbor is now not only defended by heavy batter ies, but by complete fields of torpedos, the locations of which are kept secret. -Five Killed In Mew York. Now York, May 16. Five lives were crushed out and several men were ter ribly injured today by the collapse of two five-story fiat buildings in course of erection on East One Hundred and Sixteenth street. The rear and side walls fell, carrying some 25 or more bricklayers and laborers with them. When tbe work of rescue was stopped tonight, the list of killed was: Erie Lidden, 82 years of ago, mar ried. Fred Dickelcke, 68 years of age, a bricklayer, married. Albert Kaminiske, 26 years of ago, a bricklayer. Peter Saldowario, 60 years of age, bricklayer. Frederick Hartolman, 16 years of age. He was taken out alive, but died in the hospital. Postmasters Cautioned. Washington, May 16. Postmaster General Emory Smith today issued tbe following order: "All officers and employes of the postofflce department are hereby for bidden to furnish information pertain ing to or in any way bearing upon tbe war to newspapers or persons not con nected with the war department, or to any other person, unless authorized to do so." .... "EMORY SMITH." This order is made for the purpose of preventing postmasters from giving in formation in suspicious letters passing through their offices. Such informa tion, it is thought, may in some in stances be incorrect and in others preju dicial to the interests of tbe govern ment. Advioes from Manila by steamer which left Monday say the Insurgents are uncontrollable. The whole country is in a state of anarchy, and Admiral Dewey is powerless to restore order with his limited force. He is unwilling to bombard the city and hopes to starve them into submission. UNDER HOT FIRE. a Jnaa's Forts Went, Riddled Blight Loss oa American Side- On Board the Flagship Iowa, oft San Joan de Porto Rico, May 16. The enemy's loss in the attack by part of Sampson's fleet on the forts of Pan Juan Is believed to be heavy. The American loss Is two men killed and seven men injured. After three hours' firing, the ad miral withdrew the fleet, heading for Key West. He said: "I am satisfied with the morning's work. I could have taken San Juan, but I have no force to hold it. I only wanted to administer punishment. This has been done. 1 caine for the Spanish fleet, and not for San Juan." The men killed were: Seaman Frank Wldeinark, of New York. A gunner's mate, of the Amphitrite. The latter died from the effects of the extreme heat. Of the injured men, three were on the Iowa and four on board the New Yoik. The names of those slightly in jured on the Iowa are: Seaman Mitchell, Private Marine Merklo, Ap prentice Hill. Injured on the New York: Seaman Samuel Fellman, seri ously; Seaman Michael Murphy. The four above-named were injured by the bursting of a shell on the New York. This is a complete list of the killed and wounded. Tbe American ships are uninjured. The engagement began at 6:15 A. M. and ended at 8:15 A. M, The enemy's batteries were not silenced. The town in the rear of the fortifications probably Buffered. The ships taking part in the action were the Iowa, Indiana, New York, Terror, Amphitrite, Detroit, Montgomery, Waumpautuck and Porter. The enemy's firing was heavy, but wild, and the Iowa and New York weie probably the only ships hit. They went right up under the guns in column, delivering broadsides and then returned. They passed in front of the forts, pouring tons of steel on shore. It is impossible to judge the amount of damage done to the buildings and forts. They appeared to be riddled with shot, but the Spaniards were plucky. The after-turret of the Amphrite got ont of order temporarily during the en gagement, but she banged away with her forward guns. , After tbe first passage before the forts, the Detroit and Montgomery re tired, their guns being too small to do much damage. Tbe Porter and Waum pautuck also stayed ont of range. The smoke bung over everything, spoiling the aim of the gunners and making it impossible to tell where our shots struck. The officers and men of tbe ships behaved with coolness and bravery. The shots flew thick and fast over all our ships. Tbe men who were hurt daring tbe action were injured by splinters thrown by an eight-inch shell, which came through a boat into the superstructure, and scattered fragments in all rtireo turns. The shot s course was finally ended on an iron plate an inch thick. Merkle was struck in the arm and may lose it. A fire was started in the boat, but was quickly extinguished. Morro battery, on the eastern arm of tbe harbor, was tbe principal point of attack. Kear-Admlral Sampson and Captain Evans were on the lowei bridge of tbe Iowa, and had a narrow escape from the flying splinters, which injured three men. The Iowa was hit eight times, but the shells made no impression oil her armor. Tbe weather was one, but tbe heavy swells made accurate aim difii cult. The broadsides from the Iowa and the Indiana rumbled in the bills inshore five minutes after they were delivered. Clouds of dust showed where the shells struck, but the smoke bnng over everything. The shells screeching overhead and dropping around showed that the Span iards still stuck to their guns. At 7:45 A. M. , Admiral Sampson signaled "cease firing." "Keturn was sounded on the Iowa, and she headed from the shore. The Terror was the last ship in the line, and, fail ing to see the signal, she banged away alone for about half an hour, the con ceit of shore guns roaring at her and the water flying high around her from the exploding shells. But she pos sessed a charmed life, and reluctantly retired at 8:15. As at Matanzas, the unsatisfactory conditions, the smoke and the dis tance, prevented any important con clusions being diawn. Tbe town of San Juan must have suffered. Al though somewhat protected by the bills, the high shots must have reached it. No traces of the bombardment were discernible on the forts, except small fires, which were apparently ex tinguished before the fleet left. Madrid Expects an Bncfunter.. London, May 16. The Madrid cor respondent of the News says: There are signs of manifest anxiety at the government offices. One high personage is convinced that the hostile squadrons are in sight of each other and that an encounter is probable within a few hours. Dahla Honda Bombarded, Madrid, May 16. A dispatch from Havana says the Americans have bom barded Bahia Honda, province of Pinar del Bio, west of Cardenas. Crushing Spanish Defeat. London, May 16. According to a special dispatch received here from Ha vana via Kingston, Jamaica, there has been an engagement between the Span ish and insurgents during which 900 of the foreigners were killed. The lo cation of the battle is not mentioned in the dispatch. Neutrality of Greece. Athens, May 16. A proclamation of neutrality in the war between the Unit ed States and Spain was gazetted today. Spent by the Navy Department. Washington, May 16 During tbe past month, the bureau of construction and repair of the navy department spent $1,250,000 in the repair and out fitting of ships, and none of this money went to new construction. This is said to be the largest expenditure in this particular line made by the equipment bureau, even daring the days of the civil war. ' A SpanlHh torpedo-boat destroyer was blown up, it is supposed by her boilers bursting, off tbe straits of Gibraltar and all oil board perished, . PACIFIO COAST TRADE. Seattle Market.

The British steamer Ardenmohr, which sailed from Guiana, April 22, for Havana, with a cargo of cattle, arrived in this port to night, having been unable to reach her destination owing to the blockade of Cuban ports by United States war ships. The ship, when off Matanzas, April 27, at 8:83 P. M., was boarded by a boat a crew from the Cincinnati, and her captain was told that, owing to tbe blockade, his vessel could not enter Havana. Lngano, Switzerland, May 13. The latest reports from Milan indicate the rising of the people has been mastered. Troops have been pouring into tbe city all night In all parts of Milan whole streets were torn up by tire mob. Not a pane of glass is unbroken, doors are mostly torn down, and on all sides can be seen the remains of fires and wrecked furniture and other household goods. In fact, there are portions of the city practically sacked. Trouble also occurred at Treviso, Verona, Ba duca and Brescia. To Seise Cuba Within m Week. Washington, May 12.

A proposition on toot at the Omaha Trans-Mississippi fair this summer which Is of vital interest to Oregon fanners, Is the manofaotuie of susjar. Illustrated by a plant In oporutlon on the ground. The com pie to process, it is said, will be Illustrated and all grades of the staple article will be made in plain sight of spectators. In connection with this project, ao' tive Interest has been manifested by the Oregon commissioners. Specin representatives of the commission have visited the Grande Itoiule va'ley and the Willamette vnlloy, and hava ao nuaintod those Interested with the plan for showing the progress made in Into yours at utilising the most pleblan looking plant known to the agricul turlst In a general way It la stated tho sub' loot of iiiszar beet growing will be treat d from tho time the seed is planted until the crop is matured and will be practically exemplified. Arrangements have been made to demonstrate at the fair that Oregon'i wondefully tortile soil is especially adapted to tbe growing of the beet, and that if capital in the middle west ern states Is seeking an outlet in this promising industry, Oregon offers the best advantages and every inducement to come here. It will be the purpose of those in charge of Oregon's exhibit to explain what has been done tor the industry at La Grando and to show that Willamotte farmers will do the same for a factory here. Tbe agricultural college faculty, which has enlisted Its support in gratifying way, will arrange complete exhibit of Oregon soils with scientific analysis. This will be displayed In tho horticultural building at Omnha and all qtiwi-iea relating to soil and crops will be answered In a most complete and satisfactory manner. Whatever shnll bo accomplished for Oregon at the Trans-Mississippi fair will be practical, as the commissioners have had that end In view in all they have under taken to do. R. D. Inmnn, of Portland, who Is lurgoly interested in working foi the success of the Oregon display, says that he is satisfied that the Omaha exposi tion Is to be a great success and that Oregon will reap benelioiiil results in greater proportion from the faot that the exposition city lies In the path of thousands bound westward after gold or a home this season. It Is nearer home and the attendance at tbe fair in oe drawn irom an tne trans-mis aiasippl states and the East. If the Paoifio coast states want more people to settle in their borders, additional capital and fresh industries, Mr. Inman moat heartily believes this Is tbe time to let the world hear from us. Too much cannot be done for immigration, for upon future immigration depends Oregon's advancement. The General Kshlblt. The suoces of the Oregon display at the Columbian Fair at Chicaga will be repeated on a far more comprehensive scale at the Trans-Mississippi Kxposi tion, which opens in June. The state commissioners appointed by Governor Lord, having in charge the work of preparation have gone aotively to work and not a day baa been lost. Funds are pledged, there is over 6,000 feet of space contracted for on the ground floor of the depaitment bnildings at the exposition, and eveiything is progress ing toward a successful end. From the time the subject was first broached the proposed Oregon exhibit at the fair has met with popular favor. The advantages to be derived from the advertising which every section of tho state will receive there this year, seem to be clearly realized. Ihe advan tages, It is believed, will bo greater in proportion than came from the Coluin bian fair, although in that world's con gress of wonderful sights Oregon did appear os quite a factor. The salmon fisheries of the Columbia, the wool growing industries, the mines and stock of Eastern and Southern Oregon, the fruits from Hood river and the fertile Willamotte valley, and the varied other resources of this etate will bo represented. An exhibit at the Trans-Mississippi exposition which will be noted with the deepest interest by the entire medi cal fraternity will be tho baby incuba tor, and the progress of the poor, puny, little lives that will inhabit it will bq watched by thousands of eyes. The iu volition is designed to assist nature in preserving the lives of newly born, bulM-s who are too frail to battle for ex istence, and the records show that since 1891, when it was first intro duced, It has saved several thousand human creatures by forcing pure ozone into their lungs, providing an even temperature for their sensitive little bodios, and protecting them against the thousand and one dangers to which these tiny newcomers in this world are exposed, . . Australian Coal for Japan. The price of coal in Japan has risen very greatly of late, far beyond any expectation. Australia has been ship ping coal to Japan and owing to the high price of the commodity has found the venture a paying one, notwith standing the proximity of the Chinese coal fields. A slight fall in prices, however, will stop the Australian im ports. Marrow of Giraffes' Bone. The flesh of young giraffes, especially that of a young cow, is extremely good, somewhat like veal, with a game-like flavor. The tongue, from 18 to 20 Indies long, is also very good. But the marrow bones afford the greatest luxury to the South African hunter. A giraffe marrow bone, about three feet in length, roasted over the camp fire and sawn in half, furnishes, with the accompaniment of toast or bread, an epicurean feast for a couple of men. Lottery of Marble Carving. Blocks of marble for statnary pur poses are something lu the nature of a lottery.

The Russian government will shortly open a water route Into the interior of Russian Turkestan and thus furnish the country with communication, and to some extent with water also. For this purpose advantago will be taken of a line of depressions or valleys ex tending from a point on the lower course of Amur-Dntia river eastward to the Caspian sea. A canal to the Caspian can bo built on a comparatively easy line, alio Riinsiiin experience in Turknetan has shown that tho ancient fertility of the "country can bo restored by irrigation, and largo shipments of cotton are now tttnde to Moscow. Tho promising mineral deposits have also been located and transportation In ad ditiou to tho present trans-Caspian railroad is much needed. lllLt.S OF PARK IN rAHII10NABI.lt IIKMTAIHIANTS).
