Death Uoea With Drouth.
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.

And consider that in addressing Mrs.

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

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.

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, .

He Had Beef for Havana.
New York, Special. 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. The bugbear
of jthe yellow fever scourge is to be ig
nored, and the (Spaniards are to be
ejected from Cuba before midsummei,
if American soldiers can drive them
out Last week s decision to keep the
volunteer army in great camps at
home to drill and harden them for the
campaign of invasion next fall, has been
set aside, and, instead, the new regi
ments furnished by the states will be
hurrying toward Cuba within a week.
Chased by a Spaniard
Boston, May 12. Captain Roberts,
of the Warren line steamship Roman,
now at this port, reports at noon last
Friday, when 70 miles south from Sable
island, a Spanish torpedo-boat was
sighted. She had no masts and showed
no nag. She pursued the nomun xor a
halt an hour, and was apparently gain
ing slightly, when a thick fog, accom
panied by rain, set in, and the torpedo
bont was lost to view.
The heart beats ten strokes a minute

OREGON'S SUGAR INDUSTRY,
the Trans-Mlastsslppl Pair Wilt Co.
doubtedly Give It dreat Impetus.
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. Onslow Ford, who is at work
on tbe statne of Huxley for the natural
history museum at South Kensington,
London, has been most nnfortunate In
this respect Twice be has had his
work well under way, when be has
struck blue veins, which ruined the
statue. He Is n"W at work on the
third block.

Waterways In Russia.
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.
