The importance of maintaining good health is easily understood, and it is really a simple matter if we take a cor rect view of the conditions required. In perfect health the stomach promptly digests food. The blood is employed to carry nourishment to the organs, nerves, muscles and tissues which need it. The first great essential for good health, therefore, is pure, rich blood. No medi cine has uch a record of cures as Hood’s Sarsaparilla and it is because it is the one true blood purifier.

Scriptural Quotation a Used Againiit Reigning Dynasty. Madrid, May, 7, 7:30 p. m.—The Chamber has just witnessed the most uproarious scenes in the annals of the Cortes, Senor Melia, a Carlist deputy, in a speech made use of a scriptural quotation referring to “An unfortunate nation whose kings are boys,’’ adding that women were always the Cause of the fall of thrones. Senor Sagasta, the premier, supported by a majority of the Chamber, protested amid the greatest confusion, against Senor Melia's language. The Republicans sid ed with the Carlists. The speaker requested Senor Melia to withdraw his words, but this the deputy refused to do, saying that they were scrip tural. The President named Senor Melia thrice, declaring that his refusal to withdraw the language he had used was disrespectful to the reigning dynasty; and then submitted the question of the expulsion from the Chamber of the offending member. A di vision was taken amid a terrible uproar, resulting in the expulsion of Senor Melia by a vote of 199 to 19, the Republicans vot ing with the Carlists. Upon the announcement of the result both the Republicans and Carlists walked, from the Chamber. The Carlists declare .-J/M fti U uu 3 J B—Corregidor, island and fort, command ing both channels.

SHORE FAILS TO HIT SHIPS. Only the Dupont and Hornet En-‘ gaged in the Fight. Key West, May 7.—The torpedo boat Dupont came in to-night and reported a sharp engagement off Matanzas last night and this morning. The Dupont and the auxiliary cruiser Hornet were cruising near the shore last night and when about 600 yards from land were fired upon by a body of cavalary, about 200 strong, which was spread along the shore on the lookout for filibusters. - According to the Dupont’s story both United States vessels returned the fire, scattering the Spanish troops and then bombarded the Matanzas fortifications. These were in the nature of sand block houses, nine in number. The bombard ment lasted from 4 to 5:30 o’clock. Thfe Dupont men say that their shells toppled over the barricades in course* of erection and are sure that many of the Spanish soldiers were killed, as they after ward saw wagons taking away dead or wounded. The survivors fled to the hills. This morning the Matanzas fortifica tions opened fire, sending three shells at the Dupont and Hornet. They were line shots, but the boats had gotten out of range. The Dupont and Hornet then resumed bombardment and continued it until 8:30 12— Fort Cavite. 13— Paranaqui fortifications. Distance from Manila to Corregidor Is land, 25 miles.

The Dupont men think they have essentially Silenced what the big fleet left of the fortifications there, and that in the two engagements the two boats fired about 200 shots. The cruiser Montgomery, Capt. Con verse, is the first ship of the American squadron to acquire the distinction of cap turing two prises in one day, which she did yesterday. The captives are the Fras quito and the Lorenzo, both small boats of no great value as compared with the big steamers taken during the first days of the war. • ' The Montgomery was cruising about 50 miles off Havana when the Frasquito, a two master, came bowling along toward the Cuban capital. When the yellow flag of the enemy was sighted the helm was swung in her direction and a blank shot was put across her bows. The Spaniard wisely hove-to and the customary prize crew was put on board. They found that the Frasquito was hound from Montevideo for Havana with a cargo of Jerked beef. She is of about 140 tons register and hails from Barcelona. The prize crew took her to Havana waters and the Annapolis as signed the cutter Hamilton to bring her Into Key West. A few minutes afterward the Montgom ery encountered the Lorenzo, a Spanish bark, bound from Barcelona to Havana with a cargo of dried beef. She was taken just as easily and Ensign Osborn brought her over here this even ing. • /?ommodore Retrry to-day formally hoisted his flag on the Miantonomoh, and the ships in the harbor gave him a commo dore’s salute of thirteen guns. Some apprehension was felt here throughout the day when a brisk "north er" arose, but late this afternoon, after a sharp, but short squall, the skies clear ed and the wind mode rated so that ship ping may safely navigate the Gulf to night. Ever since the blockade of the Cuban porta was established the only real ajr prehension that has been felt for the safe ty of the fleet has been due to the possi bility of a storm, which might drive some of the smaller ships on the coast of Cuba. They are on a lee shore, with every har bor on the coast in the possession of the enemy, and more than one naval officer has shaken his head as be hutted at the possibility of another Samoan disaster The only place off the north coast of Cuba where a refuge might be found is in the lee ot Salt Key shoal, about fifty miles northeast of Cardenas. The larger ships could easily weather any storm likely to rage at this season The principal dunger would be for the REFINEMENT Crnnot Hide Catarrh, Put I’e-rii-i.n Cures Catarrh Wherever Located.

France, May 7 (Near the Span ish Frontier).— Advices, which have just been received here from Madrid by mail in order to escape the Spanish censor, spy the general opinion in Madrid is that a military dictatorship is coming in order to contend against the spreading disturb ances arising from hunger, the defeat of the Spanish fleet at Manila and the politi cal plots of various descriptions. It is added that Marshal Martinez de Carripos, the former captain general of Cuba, will probably be the head of the dictatorship, and thal he will be support ed by a cabinet composed in the main of military men as the last chance of cav ing the dynasty.

Madrid, May 7, 8 p. m.—Captain General Blanco wires from Havana as follows: “One of the enemy’s ships ventured with in the range of one of our batteries, which inflicted slight damage, and compelled the ship to retire at full speed. “Another vessel bombarded the batteries at the entrance to Matanzas, firing sixty five, projectiles at the beacon light and block house, which were struck nineteen times and damaged.

As yet there are no further details of the fighting. After it was over, Commodore Dewey sent an ultimatum to the city bat tery, ordering it to cease firing, or he would bombard. The Petrel chased a gunboat up the River Pasig and the Spanish captain came in a boat to negotiate conditions of sur render. The American captain replied: “Unconditional surrender or fight.” To this the Spaniard answered: “We are willing to fight. Please allow us to send for ammunition, because our store is ex hausted.” On a proposal to the existing authorities to continue temporarily under the Amer ican flag, pending the termination of the war, the Spaniards delayed their decision and kept wiring to Madrid. The Ameri cans requested the privilege of using the wire, and when this was refused they cut the cable. The Esmeralda, from Hong Kong, arriv ed right in the middle of the battle. Dur ing the adjournjnent for breakfast an American cruiser was detached to meet her, as it was believed she might be a Spaniard. When it was found that the new arrival was a British arrival, she was warned to keep away. The Esmeralda, therefore, moved up the bay ten or fifteen miles. There are still two or three Spanish gun boats about the Philippines, but no re sistance from them is probable. One re cently captured an American bark. TREACHERY BY SPANIARDS. Turned Her Guns on n Boat After Having Lowered Her Fing. London, ±«iay 9.—The Hong Kong cor respondent of the Daily Mail gives the following aliditianal details: “There was an act of treachery on the part of a Spanish ship which lowered her flag and then fired at a boat’s crew sent to take possession of her. She did not hit the boat,- but our guns were turned on her and tore her to pieces. -She went to the bottom with all on board. “Several vessels qlose in shore behaved in the same way and shared her fate. “The Spaniards had fought to their last gasp and now surrendered. They had been announcing that the Americans would kill every one in Cavite, and when we landed a long procession of priests and sisters of mercy met the boat from the Petrel and begged our men not to injure the wounded in the hospitals. As a matter of fact, the Americans rescued some 200 Spaniards and sent them ashore. “All the Spanish vessels are destroyer?, with 2,000 men. The Spanish estimate gives their loss as 1,000 killed and wound ed. “In the Reina Maria Christina 200 men are believed to have been killed or drowned. “The officers of/ the McCulloch, with whom I conversed to-day, bear testimony ♦ o the bravery of the Spaniards. Thev particularly praised the gallant crew of the Castilla, who they describe as 'the bravest men ever sacrificed in battle.’ “They consider the result of the fight a remarkable instanch of the advantage ot long-range firing to lhe side, which is bet ter in artillery and marksmanship. “Private papers captured at Cavite show it was intended that the Spanish fleet should engage .rhe Americans outside the oay the day before the fight. No explana tion is forthcoming of the change of plans. My informant told me a landing - was not effected at Manila where food is scarce, as Commodore Dewey could not undertake any responsibility. Still I do not think there is any danger of the insurgents massacreing the population of Manila. If they began to do so Commodore Dewey would land men and stop them. "The American commander has wired for instructions regarding Manila, not caring to take over the oity on his own responsibility. “Supplies are being stopped by the in surgents at Manila and Cavite, where the hospital has been plundered for food. “The Americans landed supplies for the Spanish wounded. “The Olympia was hit thirteen times during the engagement.” RAKED BY A SHELL. Reinn Maria Christ inn’s Boilers Ex ploded by the Projectile. London, May 9.—The Hong Kong corre spondest of the Times, describing the fight at Manila, says: “The cable from the bay to Manila hav ing been cut by the rebels, the city was taken by surprise by the appearance of the American fleet. "The Spanish flagship, having got up steam, advanced out of line to meet the Olympia. “Commodore Dewey had Issued an order for his fleet to concentrate its guns on the Spanish flagship, and the signal was obeyed with telling effect. The flagship retired. “The Olympia fired an 8-inch shell which raised the Reina Mana Christina through out her length and caused her boilers to explode, killing her captain and sixty men. She drifted away on fire. “Altogether 140 men were killed, and about the same number were wounded. “Aditnarl Montejo transferred his flag to the Castilla, which was sunk shortly after ward by a storm of shot. “At a quarter of eight the Olympia sig nalled to cease firing. “The Americans were exhausted, having been at quarters since 10 o’clock on the previous night. “A conference of captains was held and it was found that not one had been killed but that several had been slightly wopnded by splinters. “Two torpedo launches attacked the Olympia. The shells from her big guns were unable to strike so small an object but a hail of 6-pound shells sank the lead ing launch, all on board being killed. “The other launch was beached with twelve shot holes, and the boat was cov ered with blood. “Half an hour after noon, a white flag was hoisted at Cavite and the Spanish crews deserted their ships, taking away their dead. Admiral Montejo fled to Ma nila with his two aides-de-camp." OX THE BALTIMORE. Sketches of the Herne, Disabled In the Hattie Off Manila. Washington.

The facts disclosed by the record as to these men are about as follows: Lieut. Frank Woodruff Kellogg: was born in Waterbury, Conn., July 26, 1857. He was appointed a cadet midshipman and graduated from the naval academy in 1881. His first service was on the Portsmouth, in January, 1882. He became a lieutenant, junior grade, May 5, 1892. April 3, 1896, he Received his commission as full lieutenant, and was attached to the Marion two months later. He was ordered to the Bal timore Feb. 11, 1897, and was serving under that order during the engagement of last Sunday. Ensign N. E. Irwin is a typical young American naval officer of stalwart build and daring, tempered with cool judgment. He is very popular in Washington, where he only recently served in the navigation bureau as one of Admiral Ramsay’s as sistants. He was born in Greenfield, 0., Sept. 29, 1869. While a cadet he made a cruise on the San Francisco in 1898 and graduated as a midshipman in June the same year. He received his appointment as ensign July 1, 1893, and was immediately attached to the Newark. Last August he made a trip through the West as far as Detroit recruiting sailors for the navy, and it so happened that some of the men en listed by him on that trip were among the injured in the battle of Manila. He left Washington March 4 last, going directly to‘the Baltimore, which was then about to start from Honolulu to join Commo dore Dewey’s fleet, with a supply of am munition brought by the Monocacy from San Francisco, which was so welcome to the American fleet. Michael John Buddinger is one Os the coxswains of the Baltimore. He enlisted in the navy Aug. 11 last at Chicago. He was born at Manitowoc, Wis., and is a native American. Robert L. Barlow is a landsman on the Baltimore, enlisting Aug. 10, 1897, in Chica go. He is 25 years of age and was bom at Barlow, Miss. Richard P. Covert, ordinary seaman on the Baltimore, vtas enlisted at Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 28 last. He was born at Ra cine, Wis., twenty years ago. William O’Keefe, seaman, enlisted May 20, 1896, and he also is one of the Balti more’s coxswains, to which ship he was transferred from the Philadelphia at San Francisco. He is 30 years of age, and was born at Newark, N. J. Rosario Ricciardelli, as e his name indi cates, was born in Italy twenty-four years ago in the city of Messjna, but he is a naturalized citizen, and is now a seaman on the Baltimore. He was enlisted March 31, 1896. Edward Snelgrove was bom in Ellens burg, Washington, twenty-nine ago, and enlisted Dec. 4, 1895, on the Phil adelphia. He is also a coxswain, and was transferred to the Baltimore at Mare Island last fall. B'rom Admiral Dewey’s statement, taken in connection with the press reports, the officials of the navy department are sat isfied that none of these officers or men are seriously injured. They gather from the accounts that the explosion of ammunition, which is suppos ed to have caused most of the injuries, was confined to one small box or chest of the fixed ammunition that is put up for the 6-pounder guhs and kept beside the gun whenever the shift is cleared for ac tion. MANILA SLRROL’NDED. Insurgents Besiege the City on. the Land Side. London, May 9.—• Further particulars gleaned from the special dispatches from Hong Kong show that the Spanish ves sels, not having got up steam, fought at a great disadvantage compared with the great mobility of Commodore Dewey's squadron. The latter arrived at the en trance of the bay in bright moonlight; and the attack was therefore postponed for a few hours till the conditions were more favorable. One American cruiser returned the fire from the forts on enter ing, but was ordered to desist by the flag ship, Commodore Dewey having the weightier business of finding the Spanish fleet on hand. In the absence of a breeze when the battle began, the ships were soon shrouded in smoke, making it momentarily harder to judge exactly how the fight was going. When it was over the surviving Span iards lost no time in removing themselves and their dead from the rapidly burning hulks, leaving behind all their personal property and valuables. The only loss In the American vessels was of Chief Engineer Randall of the Sc- Culloch, who died of heat and apoplexy, as the squadron was entering the harbor. .He was buried at sea. When the McCulloch left Manila the forts were maintaining a desultory, but ineffective Are on the squadron. Meantime the insurgents, acting in co-operation with the American fleet, had surrounded Manila on the land side, and were exchanging a brisk fire with the Spanish garrison. The city is said to be starving. PROTECTORATE IN PHILIPPINES. Admiral Dewey to Insist on a Tem porary Acceptance. Hong Kong. May B.—The United States gunboat Hugh McCulloch, which arrived here on Friday w’ith dispatches from Ad miral Dewey, officially announcing his great victory over the Spaniards, left here at 3 o’clock this afternoon, Greenwich time, on her return to Manila, after, it is understood, receiving many urgent dis patches from Washington. According to reports current here, the American admiral will insist, by force, If necessary, upon the Spaniards accepting at least a temporary protectorate of the United States, the desire being, it is be lieved to avoid disturbing the political ad ministration, as it is pointed out that the Philippine Islands are quite unfit to par ticipate in their government.

I learn that the rioters of yesterday thrice unsuccessfully at tacked the general telegraph office at Mi lan with a view of cutting off the city. When all other expedients failed, Gen. Bava-Baccaris used cannon to destroy the barricades and a numter were killed on Saturday, about a hundred. “The government has established the se verest censorship in revising and stop ping all dispatches containing what it considers dangerous matter. I learn, how ever; that the rioters at Milan succeeded to-day (Sunday) in occupying the central station end delaying the departure of several trains. Gen. Bava-Beccari» now has supreme power. • “No praise could be too high for the dis cipline, endurance and patience of the sol diers, under the most trying conditions. Not one moved a finger until the com mand was given, although almost all were injured by flying missiles, some bleeding badly. “Soon the fight from the Corso Venezia spread all over the center of the town to the Piazza del Duomo. “The Via Termio, the Via Carlo Alberta and the Via Ordflci were centers of riot. “One seemed to have returned to the fa- , mous five days of 1848, with the rattle of cavalry, the incessant crackling of rifles, the discordant cries' and words of com mand and the bugle signals. Full partic ulars are not known, as they are not al lowed to pass, but surprising was the quickness with which the barricades were formed in popular quarters, especially on the bridges over the canals. Carts, car riages and street cars were overturned and piled up with furniture from the adjacent buildings, to the noisy joy of the crowd. “Distressing scenes occurred all over the city, wives searching for husbands and mothers for sons, with explosions of grief after vain search, or when finding them wounded or dead. “In the center of the town a continuous battle went on for two hours. “In the popular quarters the mob re sisted until nightfall. “It is said that no such serious occur rence has taken place before in Italy. “The events have even surpassed the terrible riots in Turin when the capital was transferred to Florence. “Gen. Bava-lßeccaris showed that he felt his responsibility and acted promptly, firmly and energetically. In fact, before night the troops had destroyed all the barricades and were camping in the street* and squares. “No part of the city was without Iti complement of troops, while from the sur rounding provinces reinforcements were sent in immense numbers.
