Santiago ds Cuba, Aug. 4 4 p. m.
(Delayed in transmission.) From the
moment Secretary Alger's message was
received this morning ordering the in
stant removal of the army north, every
thing has been bustle and activity at

in number, have been ordered to dis

The Gravity of the Situation in the Far
East Causes Uneasiness on all
Sides in Great Britain.
London, Aog. 5. There is a great un
easiness on all Bides in regard to the
Chinese situation, which is regarded as
bringing an open conflict between Rus
sia and Great Britain within measurable
distance, and it is universally felt that
the Marquis of Sallisbury, in yielding to
Russian agressiveness, is responsible for
a dangerous complication which can
only be overcome by a prompt and firm
intimation that Russia's open opposi
tion to Great Britain's commercial con
" cessions must cease.
In this connection a story is current
that the Princess of Wales' hurried de
parture from England was in response
to a dispatch from her sister, the dow
ager empress of Russia, bearing upon
Anglo-Russian relations. It is well
known that the dowager emprese is
strenuously working to oonclude a def
inite understanding regarding Anglo
Russian interests in the Far East, and it
is said that great importance attaches to
the meeting of the two sisters at Copenhagen.

Washington. Aug.5. The most im
portant matter engaging the war depart
ment today was the removal of Shat
ter's troops from Santiago. The morale
of the soldiers was destroyed by the
presence of disease and their fighting
value is lessened. Every available
transport will be used to move the army
to Montauk Point.
The Porto Rico campaign is to be
slighted if necessary to save Shatter's
army from the yellow jack.

way concerned in the row between England and

AGDINALDO'S
MESSAGE TO
WILDMAN
to defeat Steve CVDonnell and Bob Arm
strong, two well-known third-raters, to
uigbt at the Lenox Club, but was only
able to carry out half his contract, as he
shattered the bone in one -of bis hands
daring the first enzagement. It was ar
ranged that he should rr.ee t his huskier
opponent, Armstrong, first.. The latter
found early in the fight that he had all
he could do to stay on bis feet, and was
accordingly cautious in the first rounds.
Toward the end he tried taking a hand
in aggressive work, and delivered a
ehower of swings and upper cuts about
his head that several times dazed him.
He showed pluck, however, and despite
the hammering that he received, maa-
aged to last out ten rounds, although in
the last he only saved himself from a
knock-out by sprinting. Armstrong
was clearly outclassed, and the referee
awarded the fight to Jefferies, with the
evidtnt approval of the spectators. 7
At the end of the contest it was an
nounced that Jefferies had broken a
bone in his left hand during the first
round, and although he was anxious to
CO on with 0'DonnlI. epite his injuries,
officials would nut permit it.
From the showing he made with the
colored giant, it wan the op n'on of the
sports that O'Donnwli would not have
lasted two rounds with the Los Angeles
boy. - ' ;

New York, Aug. 5. The Journal
prints a cablegram from Hons Kong,
purporting to give the text of a message
sent by Aeuinaldo to Consul-General
Wildman. The message is dated Cavite,
July 30th, and in it Aguinaldo says it
has been reported that he "is getting
the big liead and not behaving as he
promised Wildman." In reply, Agui
naldo says: '
"I ask why should America expect me
to outline my policy, present and future,
and fight blindly for ber interests when
America will not be frank with me?
Tell me this: Am I fighting for
annexation,, protection, or independ
ence? "It is for . America ' to
say, not for me. I can take Manila
as I have done everywhere else, bnt
what would be the use? If America
takes Manila I can save my men and
arms for what the futnre baa in store for
me. Now, good friends, believe me, I
am not both a fool and a rogue. The in
terests of my people are as sacred to me
as are the Interests of your people to
you." - .

Deafness Cannot De. Cured
by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is bv constitntional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of tbe mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or.
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless tbe inflammation ean betaken-:
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, bearing will be destroyed for
ever; ninecass out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any caBe of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.
