The latest despatches from Gibraltar are that the quick-firing battertes have been manned aud that the forces at the searchlight stations have been increased CZAR'S ENVOY HAS AUDIENCE WITH KING. Count Benkeudorf, the Rusvian Ambassador, was recelved in audience by King Edwarc at Buckingham Yalace this afternoon, It is assumed he was the bearer of a message fron Pmperor Nicholas. Up to the time he cow the King Count Benkendorff had received no notification that a detachment of officers from the Russian squadron at Vigo would attend tho sessions of the Interhational Conmmission, nor,had he heard of the sailing ol tue squadron from Vigo, | The Ambassador informed the Associated Press tl t the departure of the | squadron would naturally follow the detachment of these officers in accord- ance with the auderstanding reachod between himself and Foreign Secrecary Lansdowne last week. Notaing detiutie has yet been decided regarding the details of the Inter- national Commission, Another Cabinet meeting has Leen summoned for Wednesday to consider the mattor, A statement issued by the Press Association late to-day expresses the belief that ihe action of the Russian Admiral has again brought the Anglo- Russian orisis dangerously close to an acute stage. Count Benkendorff went to the Foreign Office late this afternoon to see Lord Lansdowne, who nad already seen Premier Balfour, Lord Selborne, Firat Lord ef the admiralty, and Admiral Sir John Fisher, A despatch to a news agency from Aldershot Camp says orders have been tasued for strong drafts of all branches of the Royal Engineers to be in readiness to leave for Gibraltar at short notice. | The «departure of a company of the Royal Varrison Artillery, which had |, been orderod to start for Sierra Leone Nov. 9, has been countermanded, | aecording to a dcsputch trom Gibraltar to-night. The Foreign Office late to-night answered the alarmist rumors by issu- ing the following: “Before the Russian fleet lefi Vigo instructions were given to the Russian Admiral with the view of preventing injury or inconventence to “In compliance with Russia's engagement four Russian officers have becu left behind at Vigo. “The two governments are now discussing terms with reference to the International Commission which will be entrusted with the proposed Aeide from this on the situation, FATHER IS*DYING, GEORGE. | WOUNDED Awed Mr, Davidero Lon, Missing Son, If George Davidero, a farmer, of Ge. neva, N.

T_T BEAUTY OF SKIN PURITY OF BLOOD Anclent and Modern Ideas on These Interesting Subjects. UP-TO-DATE METHODS For Purifying and Beautifying the Skin, Scalp, Hair and Hands, | Socrates calied beauty a short-lived tyranny, Plato a privilege of nature, Theceritus a delightful prejudice, | Theophrastug a ailent cheat, Car-| neades a solitary kingdom, Homer a} glorious gift of nature, Ovid a favor of the gods, Aristotle affirmed that beauty was better than all the letters of recommendation in the world, and yet none of these distinguished au- thorities haa left us even @ hint of how beauty {s to be perpetuated, or the ravages of age and disease defied. Time soon Lends the lily and the rose into the pallor of age, disease dots the fair face with cutaneous dis- figurations and crimsons the Roman nose with unsightly flushes; moth, if not rust, corrupts the glory of the eyes, teeth and lips, yet beautiful by defacing the complexion, and fills the sensitive soul with agony. | It euch be the unhappy condition | of one afflicted with slight skin blem- ishes, what must be the feelings of those in whom torturing humors have for years run riot, covering the skin with scales and sores and charging the blood with poisonous elements to become a part of the system until death? It is in the treatment of torturing, disfiguring humors and affections of the akin, scalp and blood, with loss of hair, that the Cuticura remedies have achieved thei> greatest success, Orig- inal in composition, sctentifically compounded, absolutely pure, changeable in eny climate, al ready, and agreeable to the most del- feate and sensitive, they present to young and old the most successful curatives of modern times.
