Day Will Resume His Law Practice When
Peace is Declared.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. It is stated that Secretary
Day will at an early date retire from the office of secretary
oi state, and, after concluding his labors as a member of the
commission, resume the practice of law at Canton. Although
this is the first public announcement that he intends to re
tire from public life, it has long been known to his intimate
friends that when he accepted the portfolio he did so with
the understanding that he would resign immediately after
peace was restored between Spain and the United States.

Erected Only One Patient Dan
gerously 111.

53 cases, a decrease of two from the

patient is dangerously ill.
GENERAL SHAFTER
NOT RESPONSIBLE
Everything Possible was Sent With the
Sick and Wounded Shortage of
Water Inexcusable.
Washington, Aug. 9. General Shatt
er, in bis report to the war department
emphatically denies that he is respon
sible for the inadequate provision made
for the sick and wounded brought from
Santiago de Cuba to the United States
onthe Seneca and Concho. Everything
possible, he says, was sent with the sick
and wounded.- The shortage of water,
he says is inexcusable. He concludes
the report :
"There is no excuse for lack of food,
as there has at all times leeu plenty 01
that. I have no doubt that many more
were put on the ships than should have
gone, owing to the yellow lever and hos
pital accommodations. There never has
been a case of suffering here that could
be remedied that was not attended to.

an estate of $4,000,000. He was elected

The Spanish Ambassador Presents the Reply to the French Minister oi
Foreign Affairs for Transmission.
PARIS, Aug. 8. Spain's reply to the peace terms of the United States was placed
in the hands of the French minister of foreign, affairs this morning by the Spanish ambas
sador. The minister then cabled them to Washington.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. Today, after a conference between the president. Secreta
ries Alger and Long and Attorney-General Griggs, it was given out that Spain's answer to
the peace terms had not been received. However the president expects he will receive an
acceptance in the morning in time for consideration at the regular cabinet meeting.

been a lack of means and facilities. I

could have foreseen all that would be

the blame laid on me for lack of hospital

He Realizes He Must Soon Withdraw
With His Troops From Cuba.
NEW YORK, Aug. 8. Captain-General Blanco appreciates the. fact that
be will soon have to withdraw himself and bis forces from the island of Cuba. He
has assumed a mild demesnor, which compares strangely with his previous bom
bastic attitude and frequently expressed determination to bold out in . Havana to
the death, and is treating the insurgents with great consideration.
He has made known that there will be no more war and no further use for
soldiers. He offered a pardon to all Cuban political prisoners, and more than 150
were released in Havana.
now on its way to Washington, but it is
coming slowly. There are no less than
five translations, four of them cipher, in
transmission between Madrid and Wash
ington. After the Spanish cabinet meet
ing last night the response was reduced
to Spanish cipher and then sent to the
Spanish ambassador at Paris, by whom
it was to be translated into French,
after which the ambassador was to de
liver it to" the French foreign office to
be reduced to French cipher for trans- I
mission to the French ambassador here.
These moves take, it is calculated, eight
or ten hours.
The impression is growing inofficial
quarters that the Spanish answer, while
in the nature of a concession to Ameri
can demands, is not a brief aud simple
acceptance, without reservation or con
dition. There is no direct official advice
on this point, but all official advices
from Madrid indicate that the response
is a document of considerable length,
prepared with laborious care and that it
has several features which may not ap
pear in the conditions presented' by the
United States.

secretaries and clerks.
Senator Morgan in an interview said
that he thought the settlement of white
families on the islands would settle' the
labor problem there. The Japaneee
contract laborers might be sent back
home at the expiration of their term of
service, but existing contracts must be
respected.

Deafness Cannot be. Cored
by local applications, as tbey cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafneBS,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an - inflamed con
dition of the 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 the inflammation can betaken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases 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 case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.
