Rlort Received of the Release of a
Number of Spunlsh Hnd American
Trlaoners.
WASHINGTON. May 5.-The Navy
department has made public a rerort
from Lieutenant J. H. Gibbons, at
tached to the Brooklyn, dated Cavite,
March 4, upon an expedition con
ducted by him In the south of Luzon,
In the latter part of February last,

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."

Hanged for Fear He Would
Escape.
SEATTLE. May 5. Among the pas
sengers from Latuya bay on the Ber

In some cases the external signs of Contagious Blood Poison are so slight that the
victim is firmly within the grasp of the monster before the true nature of the disease
is known. 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. S. acts in an entirely different manner, being a purely vegetable remedy ; it forces the poison out of the system, and
instead of tearing down, builds up and invigorates the general health. S. S. S. is the only antidote for this specific virus, and
therefore the only cure for Contagious Blood Poison. No matter in what stage or how hopeless the case may appear, even
though pronounced incurable by the doctors, S. S. S. can be relied upon to make a rapid, permanent cure. 8. 8. 8. U-not a
new, untried remedy ; an experience of nearly fifty years has proven it a sure and unfailing cure for this disease. It is the
only purely vegetable blood medicine known.
