They do and say exactly the op- posite things to what they would do in their sane minds. A mother whose mind breaks down under extreme mervous ten- eion may turn upon the one object in all the world most precious to her—her baby. The terrible nervous tension under which many women live and suffer because of some weakness or disease of their sex, keeps them on the very verge of insanity. The constant drag and drain upon the com- plicated and delicate organism affects the whole nervous system and works upon the brain with an almost irresistible madness. . Thousands of suffering women haye been literally saved from the insane asylum by the timely influence of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It is the one perfect and pos- itive specific for every derangement of wos man’s special organism. It is a scientific and permanent cure for those severe, chronic, complicated cases which doctors usually coneider hopeless. It is the only medicine of its kind devised by an educated and skilled physician. Mrs. Sarah E. Rains, of Dayton, Cass Co., Mo., in a letter to Dr. Pierce, writes: * It was in the winter of 1860 that my sufferings commenced. It was close to my time of confinement. I took the &rip. and that with the labor pains all went to my head. 1 suffered dreadfully, and when I gave o my little boy T kept getting worse.

TO FEED DESTITUTE A GREAT PROBLEM After Santiago Falls the United States Will Have Many More | Mouths to Fill. | | WASHINGTON, July 9.—The author- fties are now concerning themselves | seriously with the great problem of | feeding the destitute population of San- | | tingo as soon as It capitulates, as well | as the ! ranish prisoners of war who | may surrender.

Yellow fever also is to be ken into deration as a factor that may | greatly complicate the situation.

WASHINGTON, July $.— Admiral Sampson has cabled the Navy Depart- ment that in his opinion three of the Spanish vessels may be saved. The Colon is certainly in good cendition, he | reports, and there are reasonable hopes of saving the Maria Teresa and the | Vizcaya. The text of Admiral Samp- son’s dispatch is as follows: “PLAYA DEL ESTE, Juiv 8.—Secre- tary of the Na ‘Washington: Pre- liminary report from the beard ordered to examine the wrecks stated that wrecking appliances should be gotten here immediately. Think there ls no doubt about saving the Vizcaya, Maria Teresa and Cristobal Colon, if haste be made. The Colon {s much the most valuable, being in perfect order. Would recommend that the most perfect ap- pliances be sent at once. SAMPSON.” GENERAL MILES SAILS FROM CHARLESTON And With Him Also Depart Seven- teen Hundred Re-enforcements for Snafter. CHARLESTON, July 9.—The trans- ports Yale and Columbia, having on | board the commanding general of the army, General Nelson A. Miles, and staff and 1700 men, intended as re-en- forcements for General Shafter, got away at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Gen- eral Miles and staff are on the Yale. tended to exclude Great Britain, Aus- tria and Italy from the congress, Rus- sia, France and Germany will take the initiative, provided, naturally, that the sitnation at the close of the war seems to them to call for a settlement of the Philippines question by an interna- tional council. The Government press, of course, is furious at this important news leak- ing out prematurely, and some of these papers have gone to the length of threatening the correspondent of the Assoclated Press with expulsion from sermany. On the other hand, some Government papers now admit the truth of the. news cabled to the Asso- ciated Press. The Paris correspondent of the Kreuz Zeitung significantly says: “It is feared in Paris that deli- cate and difficult negotiations are necessary between the powers in re- gard to the Philippines question, and i(i\\'lfl’behalr{mst impossible to main- ain much longer t hitherto observm"i it Editorially the Krcuz Zeitung, which has the closest relations with the court and Foreign Office here, confirms the foregoing, and several other indirect- ly foreign office papers express them- selves In a similar sense, though very guardedly. In this connection it is remarkable that the Deutsche Zeitung, in an edi- torfal, deprecates the German Foreign Office’s recently adopted habit of deny- ing all intention of profiting by the situation created by the war to the ex- tent of what can be got. The Kreuz Zeitung also thinks that by entering upon a pollcy of colonial expansion the United States will be forced to keep a standing army and a large navy, and will be a less danger- ous competitor comparatively for Ger- many and Europe generally. The Deutsche Zeitung confidently hopes that our Government will do all | that is required at the right time to enforce Its Intentions in the far East, with all due energy and power. In conclusion the Deutsche Zeitung re- marks: “We ought not to exceed proper bounds In excusing ourselves. The United States, by its provoking in- solence, has long been the bete noir of all Europe, and we expect at least of our Government that all this system of sending out denials of American news isg only a diplomatic accompani- ment, and that our Government will not lose the opportunity to seize In its powerful grip that which German in- terests require.” Papers here generally condemn Spain’s intention to continue the fight. They agree In saying she has no chance of any outside help. The Ber- | 1caan lin Tageblatt says: “European inter- Veuuoi wil succeed ovnly iL direceed 4uu-Spalusl, Wi e lendeucy Lo iite dpain, ke nung ueoige Of uicete, W COLCILUE Prac iu splie oL uhe great success of the Amielicans I Cuoa, the Imajority or Le Gelludl NEWSPAPers du Lut accord any praise W0 L€ americans and do LUL acKuOWicApe Lhe abuily of the AlLEriCaus 1l War. i Lageviull outdoes itself in say- g Wal wie aesirucuon of Adnural Leivera s leel was ol aue o Ameri- call Iniuauve and “was probably as gledl 4 sulprise 0 Admiral damnpson as W the res. oL the worna.” 1he pismalckian Neue Este Nach- richien oL Leipsie, cowinenung on the recenty pubusned opiuuion oL rrince Bismarck says: “He is not opposed Lo Lhal wisl, B0 Widesplead 1n wuelmany, that the Yankees may get a good, suong tcking.” ‘Ahe tamourg Nachrichten says: “Ior a counury which does everytmng to shut its markets against us and Uues LUl SCIupie L0 comuuL a breach of | treaty while dooding the German mar- ket with poor and unhealthy goods, it 18 impussivie to harbor friendly feel- ings, and the insolent tone of the Amer- 15 not calculated to improve this.” The Leipsic Tageblatt mentions Bigelow as veing the principal dis- turber of the good press reiauions be- tween the two countries and calls his recent article in the Century “a tissue ot falsehood and bosh,” in conclusion saying: “1f respectable monthiles spread such worthless trash about us, what can be expected of the daily pa- pe: Are we Germans, loving our country, not compelled to lose patience and pay them in the same coin?" The Cologne Volks Zeitung says: "It | is not true that the Foreign Office has acknowledged the justice of the Amer- ican motives in the war.” Private aavices received here from Madrid show that the dissatisfaction in the Spanish army and in Govern- ment and political circles with the dynasty and Cabinet is greatly increas- ing and is assuming threatening pro- portions. Cariisin is reported to be steadily spreading,, particularly in the army, and meny people expect a revo- lution. Strcng pressure is being brought to bear on King Leopold of Belgium to expel Don Carlos from his kingdom, on the ground that the Span- ish pretender is ‘“an oitensive for- eigner.” Both Emperor Willlam of Ger- many and Emperor Franeis Joseph of Austria have ‘joined in these represent- ations, but thus far they have been un- availing. The new British steamer Monmouth, which arrived at Bremen on Juiyl from New Orleans, has been sold to the United States. The crew has been dis- missed. ‘the remarkable speech delivered by the United States Embassador, Andrew D. White, at the Fourth ot July cele- bration by the Americans at Leipsic, has divided the attention of the Ger- man press all week equally with the latest developments of the war between Spain and the United States. The speech is universally characterized as a political enunciation of prime impor- tance. The attendant circumstances, too, were of an unusual character. Mr. White, in an interview, said: “Never in my life have 1 seen such a scene of fraternization of Americans and Britons. The flags of both were intertwined around the hall and a num- ber of prominent Englishmen resicing in Germany were present. ‘Lhe toast to the President of the United States was received with tremendous enthusiasm by every one present.” The reception by the German news- papers of mr. White’s speech varied greatly. Many of the papers suppressed those portions of the Embassador's re- marks which were unfavorabie to Ger- many or Germans. Others pretended to be unaware of any systematic un- friendliness toward the United States on the part of Germans. The Post of this city in addition to admitting a few dJdays ago that the speech would materially help to dispel the unfriendly feeiing which threatened to arise between the Americans and Germans, promises to co-operate with Mr. White in establishing better feel- ings between the two nations. The Government press thus far has been mute, but the correspondent of the As- sociated Press here learns that the Government will take an early op- portunity to refer to the speech of the United States Embassador. A remarkable article has appeared in the Deutsche Zeitung, the leading or- gan of the Pan-German party. After approving of Mr. White’s speech and reminding the Americans of the past close relations between the two coun- tries the paper asks: “How has the United States treated us in return? How has she thanked us for past favors during the last decade? The United States throughout has been unfriendly to us in its economic, commercial and political course, and has treated us worse than any other European state. She has been guilty of a breach of a solemn pledge testified by her own President, Cleveland. From these cauges flow the antipathy undoubtedly prevailing on our side against the United States, an antipathy which is justified and which is by no means con- fined to a few unimportant papers, but extends to all the German press, with the sole exceptions of Barth’s Die Na- tion and Liebknecht's Vorwaerts. It is in this direction that the cure can be found for German antipathy for Ameri- ca, and Americans like Mr. White ought to try to remedy and remove the causes of friction. Germany has al- ways been justly fair, even to her ene- mies. Let the United States begin to be just and fair to its most meritorious friend.” The Vorwaerts says: “It were folly to disguise the fact that the relations between the German and American Governments are no longer as friendly as could be wished in the interests of Germany and peace. Certainly the German Government thus far has not taken a step which America would be Jjustified in calling a breach of neutral- ity; but it is equally certain that the belief is general in America that Ger- man neutrality, although formally cor- rect, is anything but sympathetic. Judging impartially we must admit the Americans have reason to believe that Germany lacks good intentions. Since the outbreak of the war not only the entire Government press but nearly the whole of the rest of the press have sided strongly, and in many cases ven- ADVERTISEMENTS.

But it is probable that the plan existed, and that Spain was approached by the Berlin Govern- ment with such proposals.” MAIL SERVICE FOR THE SOLDIZRS Postal and War Departments Each Doing Their Share in Keeping Up the System. WASHINGTON, July 9.—Secretary Alger has approved a number of sug- gestions made by the Postmaster Gen- eral regarding the establishment of a more complete system for the military mail service. Under the system out- lined the Postoffice Department is to keep the supervision and management of the malls; the Quartermaster’'s De- partment of the army is to undertake their transportation within the camp to and from points of departure and ar- | rival, and the battalion and regimental adjutants are to be responsible for the correct distribution of the mail. A postoffice or branch postoffice is to be established at every military post or camp created during the existing war, to be under the immedlate charge of a postal superintendent. The Postoffice Department is to detall for each camp an expert money order clerk, who is to be fully supplied with all postal requi- sites. ‘Whenever any milltary expedition is to be made, the Postmaster General will detall a sufficient force 6f trained employes of the postal service to ac- company it and organize a sys‘em of military mail service at any camp. BRITISH EDITORS LAUD OUR NAVY Even the Saturday Review Likens American Seamen to Those Who Fought With Nelson. LONDON, July 9.—1ihe weekly news- papers to-day, In discussing the war, all pay glowing tributes to the American navy. Even the Saturday Review says: It is’' impossible not to feel a certain pride in the achievements of men of our own race. Every Englishman, too, will remember that it was the possession of this same quality, the fine marksmanship which the Americans displayed, which gave us victories both on land and sea, from Creey to the Crimea, and something peculiar and noble happened in this fight which showed in a far higher way the kinship between the two peoples. “Don’t cheer,” shouted Captain Philip, “‘the poor devils are dying.” It seems to us that this expression of tender, sympathetic humanity Is just as fine as the “Kiss me, Hardy,” of the dying Nelson. The Spectater, In a long article on the same subject, says: The first thought of all Englishmen is that the American fleet did its work splendidly. The whole per- formance of Admiral Sampson's fleet was in accordance with the best traditions of Anglo-Saxon navies, and every English- man has read of the doings with a flush of pride. There was the same old, hard pounding as the Elizabethan seadcgs used; the same curious mixture of stead- iness, daring, coolness and reckless dash. ‘The moral aspect of what was almost the first and what may be the last fleetaction between the Spanish and Engiish races is very much allke. In both cases it was the man behind the gun,who, in the last resort, won the battle. ‘The battle shows that the American navy is a most efficient fighting machine. We 'did not need to be told that here. ‘We knew it already and realized of what stuff the lion’s whelps are made. They, however, did not know it on the Conti- nent, though they apparently know it know. e A More Artillery for Tampa.
