MILES' SHARP CRITICISM. Pronounces It a Mistake to Mount Our Heavy Guns on Disappearing Carriages. NEW YORK. May 5.-A special to the Journal and Advertiser from Washington says: G-neral Miles makes a sharp criti cism of the engineering department in the disappearing gun carriage matter, in which he characterizes the argu ments of General John M.' Wilson, chief of engineers, as "academic." General Miles also takes occasion to pay his respects to the futility of the furious fire of Sampson's fleet at the ancient artillery of Spain at Santiago. General Miles points out that the dis appearing gun carriage had been used in this country to the exclusion prac tically of all others. General Miles continues: "The conclusion to mount upward of 90 per cent of our modern high-power coast defense guns in deep pits on dis appearing carriages was apparently reached after a long-continued aca demic discussion of the subect In suc cessive annual reports of the chief of engineers. This conclusion Is not be lieved to be based upon any practical results of fire from shipboard on land fortifications obtained in war service. "Old Morro castle, the eighteenth century masonry work exposed on a block less than 200 feet above tidewa ter and armed with four eighteenth century smooth-bore cannon, withstood on one occasion the concentrated fire of our fleet at close range for three hours with the result that one corner of the masonry was struck and dam aged, but the parapet wall remained intact and not a man or a gun was Injured so far as known. "I dorm It most unfortunate that we should take up, develop and place almost sole dependence upon type of mount that has been tried and practically abandoned abroad." SCO FIELD MINE VICTIMS.

In other cases the blood is quickly filled with this poisonous virus and the swollen glands, mucus patches in the mouth, sores on scalp, ulcers on tongue, sore throat, eruptions on skin, copper colored splotches, and fallintr hair and evebrows leave no room for doubt, as these are all unmistakable signs of Contagious Blood Poison, Doctors still prescribe mercury and potash as the only cure for Blood poison. These poisonous min erals never yet made a complete and permanent cure of ConUurious Blood Poison. Thev drive the disease back into the system, cover it up for a while, but it breaks out again in worse form. These powerful minerals produce mercurial rheumatism and the most offensive sores and ulcers, causing the joints to stiffen and finger nails to drop off. Mercury and potash mako wrecks, not cures, and those who have been dosed with these drugs are never after free from aches and pain. S. S.
