HOI LOOKING TO
PORTO RICO NOW
It Seems That Occupation of
that Island is Not
Scheduled.
IT WOULD lit UNNECESSARY
If Health of t roops Now Landed is
Good, and Immediate Cuban
Campa'gn Miy Follow.
New York, June 22. -A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The project to occupy Porto Rico is
now regard. I by the highest military au
thorities. of both 'the army ami navy as
practically removed from immediate con
sMera-lion and unless the death rate of
Oeneral Shafter’s army from disease in
digenous to'Cuban soil is exceedingly high,
the pr. s I. nt's desir< for the prosecution
of a general agr. - ivc campaign through
out the island of Cuba may be promptly
entered upon 'tip moment Santiago is cap
tured
The "upgestion of a Porto Rican cam
paign to precede tile invasion of ‘Cuba was
put forth more than a month before Ad
miral ‘Sampson bornl.ardtd San Juan and
pending the um. itainey of the destination
of c> i ver,.'; -.piadron, then several weeks
at <a from Cape Verde. The unexpected
diffieulti' met with in organizing the
great army needed for tho Cuban cam
paign. together with tho urgent warning
delivered by medical experts against the
advisability of exposing raw. unacclimated
recruit- to the p. tilential climate of .Ha
vana and ‘the sinorunding country, where
the blockade condition were presum.d to
be unusually favorable to a devastating
scourge of yello.v fever compared with the
comparative salubrity of Porto Rico and
th. relatively small Spanish force holding
that i-land, worked strongly to bring aboti'i
the approval of the scheme 'to obtain con
trol of- it as a war neeessaray.
The desirable diplomatic point .suppos
ed 'to be gained through actual occupation
before Spain could sue for peace in defer
ence to drotrg 'ptes-ure tn that direction
which it was well known was being expec
ted at IMadrld. gave no little weigh't to the
project, ami preparations for its accom
plishment went forward so energetically
tha't. eten .Iler i'ervera had shirt himself
up at Santiago and both Commodore Schley
and Admiral Sampson bad confessed that
an attempt to eject him would prove fit
tile without the co operation of an army
corps, the Porto Rican etvterprise was not
abandoned, but was temporarily pushed
aside by the more imperative necessity of
sending Genif.il Shafter to Santiago as ex
peditiously as possible.
Hi fleet of transports had .barely sailed
from Tampa last wek before many of the
officials in Washington, in the absence of
any countermanding of the original order
for mobilizing the Porto Rican expedition,
again took up its details and were hurry
ing the preparations along on the original
lines when General 'Miles returtjed and
convinced 'the authorities that the best of
military reasons existed for ■concentrating
every r< -ource of the government, for the
time being, at least, upon the support of
General Shafter, whose campaign was of
a more hazardous nature than had been
generally .appreciated.
Notwithstanding the excellent equipment
and trained forces which had been provi
ded in this army corps, the fact'that 15,000
men wore to he landed in a strange coun
try in the lace of much more numorous
forces, whose exact strength could only 'be
estimated, will probably prove the crucial
event of the whole war. Success may be
expected to result it; Spain’s prompt reali
zation ot the futility of further reslstence,
while a serious reverse even of a tempo
rary character might indefinitely prolong
the duration of hostilities.
The illusion that the actual .possession of
Porto Rico constituted any valid advant
age from an international law poin't, was
speedily expelled by the citation of prece
dents. the most recent of them being the
acquisition by Japan of Formosa at the
treaty of Simonoseki. although the island

: was in the possession of China at the close
| of the war.
I It was also made evident that the United
States had absolute justification, which
could not be combatted by neutrals, for
exacting the surrender of Poto Rico by
Spain as an indemnity against part ot the
. cost of the war, especially as it was uni
versally conceded that this government al
ready had the power of eventually dictat
i ing the terms of peace.
In fact, if there existed any reasonable
| argument for running the risk of sacriflc
i ing General Shafter for the acquisition of
Porto Rico, at present an altogether ineli
gible element in war, it is yet to be sup
ported with any telling weight in the opin
ion of state department officials and mem-,
bers of the diplomatic corps in Washing
ton.
It now appears to be conclusively settles]
that no further attention will be paid to
fl’or to Rico for the present unless kt de
velops a stratgetic importance utterly un
r- cognized at the present time. The effect
of General Miles’ strenuous representations
of the urgent military exigencies which
d. mand immediate addition to General
Shafter’s army are evident on all sides.
The decision to send at least one regi
ment of volunteers on the fast auxiliary
cruiser Yale from Newport News on
Thursday ,to be followed .by others on the
Harvard a few days later and another bri
gade from Camp Alger during the ensuing
week, are fair instances of the success of
his recommendations.
A serious problem, whose solution was
determined upon by the authorities today
is that of the disposition of the vast num
ber of prisoners which must fall into the
American hands whenever Santiago capit
ulates. The number is variously estimated
all the way from 25,000 to 50,000 men, and
as the United States will not permit 'them
to suffer any avoidable hardships, provis
ion has to be made at once for their main
tenance.
It has been definitely decided that they
cannot be permitted to remain in Cuba,
and it will therefore be necessary to pro
vide a large number of transports to bring
them to this country, where they may be
more readily fid and guarded. This will
require a much larger fleet of transports
■than that which carried General Shafter’s
army, and considering the extreme diffi
culty which the war department has al
ready encountered in securing additional
fleet under the impression that Porto Rico
was still to be occupied, it is not foreseen
where all the ships for the various enter
prise; are to be secured. This emergency,
however, must be met for the president
has finally determined that no prisoners
shall be permitted to remain in Cuba, and
until after they are landed in this country
and the transports can return to Santiago,
General Shafter’s army and all the rein
forcements 'that sent to him wlil be com
pelled to remain there, unless 'the health
conditions of the island warrant t'he issu
ing of orders which might immediately
start them westward along the route suc
cessfully pursued by General Gomez two
years ago in a single hand campaign in
which their progress would be marked by
gradual additions to forces from the va
rious ports along 'the north and south
shores, until the volunteer regiment now
in camp at Chicamauga and other places
to a number exceeding 100,000 men. were
active participants in driving out the
Spaniards and relieving the horrible con
dition which compelled the declaration of
war.

Scratch!
Scratch! Scratch!
Ihe tortures of Eczema are indescribable. First, a-series of small water blisters
appear, accompanied by a tingling, itching sensation; these burst, and the skin be
comes dry and sometimes cracks and peels; the itching increases in severity and
spreads over a larger surface, until it soon becomes almost unbearable. The rough,
red skin seems to be ablaze, so intense is the suffering produced.
Only disappointment results from the use of ointments, salves, etc., which are so
generally resorted to for this disease. Eczema is a disease of the blood, and local
applications can have no effect whatever upon it. They are good enough to allay
temporarily the intense itching, but the disease continues to spread and increases in
severity.
It is during spring and summer that those afflicted with Eczema suffer most, al
though they arc at no time entirely free from discomfort. The disease seems to
break out afresh each spring, and every year seems to spread more, until in some
cases the entire body is effected.
Mr. E. D. Jenkins, of Lithonia, Ga., says
that his daughter, Ida, inherited a severe
case of Eczema, which the usual mercury
and potash remedies failed to relieve.
Year by year she was treated with various
medicines, external applications and in
ternal remedies, without result. Her suf
ferings were intense, and her condition
grew steadily worse. All the so-called
blood remedies did not seem to reach the
disease at all until S. S. S. was given,
when an improvement was at once noticed.
The medicine was continued with favor
able results, and now she is cured sound
and well, her skin is perfectly clear and
pure, and she has been saved from what
threatened to blight her life forever.
The only cure is a real blood remedy—one which
I I reaches obstinate and deep-seated diseases, and cures
them permanently. The mercurial and potash reme
' dies of the doctors, aside from their harmful effects, do
| | g jrl not reach the disease, and hence their inability to cure
* ggg j s t h e on jy cure for Eczema, because it is
the only blood remedy guaranteed purely vegetable, containing no potash, no arsenic,
no mercury or mineral of any description. It is Nature’s own remedy and is not a
drug-shop preparation. It cures Eczema and all other blood diseases of the most
obstinate nature, no mat

FOR LIEUTENANT
GENERAL'S JOB
Committee Will Recommend
the Revival of This Rank
in the Armv.
WILL GEN. MILES GET IT?
It is Possible, However, that Shaf
ter or Some Other Commanders
May Earn the Big Plum.
Washington, June 22—The house com
mittee on military affairs have agreed on
and favorably reported a joint resolution
reviving the grade of lieutenant general
in the army.
It authorizes the president whenever he
deems it expedient to appoint a lieutenant
general to be selected from those officers
in the military service distinguished for
courage, skill and ability, the limitation
in the bill as to choice from officers not
below the grade of major general, being
stricken out by the committee.
The committee disclaim any idea of hav
ing any single military command in view
and assert the object i- to permit the se
lection by the president to command
armies of the United States if one should
have higher rank than any other officer
as essential to efficiency of management.
While Major General .Miles has fre
quently been urged for a lieutenant gen
eralship the members claim that his name
is no more than a suggestion and that the
resolution leaves it open to the president
whom he shall appoint, the appointee
however, being the subject to confirma
tion by the senate.
It was pointed out by a ranking mem
ber of the committee if there should be a
battle at Santiago for instance in which
General Shafter should figure and should
perforin some heroic work he would stand
a fair show for the coveted rank and so
with other commanding officers on whose
cases the selection might depend.
The committee also favorably reported
to the house the bill giving the adjutant
general of the army, a post now held by
General Corbin, the rank, pay and allow
ance of a major general and a joint reso
lution amending a former one and permit
ting Colonel Anson Mills’ Third cavalry,
to exercise the functions of boundary com
missioner over the Mexican line the same
as if he was performing such duty under
military orders.

Legation at Washington Gives
Out a Statement About
Them.
'Washington, June 22—In reference to
certain published statements the Turkish
legation makes the following declaration:
Mr. Wm. Armstrong, of DePere, Wis.,
writes: “I have suffered terribly for eight
years with Eczema, at times all over my
body, and no person can describe the burn
ing and itching I had to endure. For three
months I never laid down, but was com
pelled to sit in my chair when not moving
around. I was treated by the best of
physicians with no success, used various
local applications, and tried all the patent
medicines recommended for Eczema with
out any good results. I went to several
celebrated medical resorts, but the disease
shortly returned. I then tried S. S, S., and
after three days the burning and itching
subsided, and I continued to improve
steadily until I was well—entirely cured.
MACON NEWS WEDNESDAYiEVENING, JUNE 22 i8o«.
I The frequent murders and pillages, com
mitted by Christians of Merana, under the
I instigation of .Montegrians exasperated the
I muzzleman .population of the district and
having forced them into reprisals, some
altercations and disorders have occurred
and during these disturbances a number
of huts of villagers have been destroyed.
Turkish troops sent immediately in suf
ficient numbers to the spot at once re
stored order.
His majesty, the Sultan, in his feeling of
grace and paternal solicitude towards his
subjects without distinction of race or re
ligion has magnanimously accorded full
and complete amnesty to the persons im
plicated in this affair and generously or
dered the rebuilding of the destroyed huts
and reinstallation into their old homes of
the Christian inhabitants who had crossed
over to iMontengro.
A Turkish general has been ordered to
make an inquiry into this affair and a
Montegrinean delegate has been apppoint

St. Johns, N. F., June 22 —The 'British
steamer Para, Captain Gansden, from
Dunkirk for Tilt Cove to load copper for
Swansea entered an ice flow off the mouth
of Notre Dame bay on Saturday and was

It is One of Consequences of
Annexation of Ha
waii.
New York, June 22 —The passage by an
overwhelming majority in the 'House of
Representatives of the joint resolution for
the annexation of Hawaii to the United
States and the probability of like action
in the senate, has caused a revival of in
terest in the bill to provide for telegraphic
communication between San Francisco
and Honolulu, says the Washington cor
respondent of the Tribune.
Nearly everybody admits that the ac
quisition of Hawaii will render the estab
lishment and maintenance of such com
munication necessary.
Interest in the project has also been
stimulated anew by the intelligence that
the Hawaiian legislature has granted a
franchise to the Pacific 'Cable 'Company to
lay and maintain telegraphic communica
tion between that country and Japan and
China, the operation of said franchise be
ing conditioned on favorable action by tbe
congress of the United States within the
next eighteen months on the bill now
pending before it.
This bill, which was reported from the
committee on interstate and foreign com
merce by iMr. Bennett, of New York, on
March 8 authorizes the postmaster general
to contract with the Pacific Cable Com
pany for the payment to said company of
not more than SIOO,OOO a year quarterly
for twenty years for the construction and
operation of a submarine cable for the
transmission of messages of the United
States from San Francisco to Honolulu and
then to such points on the coasts of Japan
and China as the company with the ap
proval of the postmaster general may se- (
lect. Within fifteen days of the approval
of the act the company must deposit with
the postmaster general $250,000 in United
States bonds to be forfeited to the United
States in case of its failure to enter into
oi fully pei form its contract.
The friends of the measure are not hope- ,
ful of action by the house before next win
ter unless the present session is prolonged
to a date considerably later than is now
expected, although they are strongly of
the opinion that the work of establishing
telegraphic communication between San
Franciso and Honolulu should be begun
as soon as annexation takes place and
vigorously prosecuted to a speedy conclu
sion.
Two members of the committee on in
terstate and foreign commerce, Messrs.
Corliss, of Michigan, and Fletcher, of
Minnesota, opposed a favorable report on
the Pacific Cable bill, and filed a state
ment of their reasons. It is understood
that the committee is otherwise unani
mously in favor of the measure.
