Deafness Cannot bo Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining ot the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is the
result, and unless the inflamation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
fbees.
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; flee.

400 SPANIARDS KILLED.
A TBRRIFIC ENGAGEMENT AT
CIENFUEGOB WEDNESDAY.
Three American Vessels and Several
Thousand Spaniards in Battle. An
other Victory for Uncle Sant.
Washington, May 14—A terrific
Outlie was fought between the United
States cruiser Marblehead, the gun
boat Naah*iHe and the auxiliary cruis
er Windom and several thousand
Spanish troops in the harbor of Cien
fuegos Wednesday morning.
Tbs battle resulted io tbe killing of
au American, tbe wounding of several
more, three of whom will die, and tbe
killing of 400 Spaniards.
Tbe engagement was started by the
Spaniards, who fired upon the fleet
while it was endeayoripg to cut tbe
cable connecting Havana with San
tiago de Cuba. Tbe fire was instant
ly returned by a shower of shells from
the three American ships, which car
ried death to hundreds cf the Span
iards on sbore and fired the city for
blocks around the land forte.
It was one of the most terrific bat
tles of tbe war, and again evinced the
superiority of our equipments and tbe
daring bravery of our officers and men.
Tbe news of the cutting of the ca
ble at Cienfuegoe has caused great
satisfaction at the navy department,
because this was ordered some days
ago, and it was hoped it had been
done before tbe Spanish fleet left
Martinique. This cuts off Havana
from tbe world and leaves Blanco
without means of communication
vrlth Madrid or bearing from the out
side.
’ It was thought at first that the ca
ble should have been cut at Santiago
de Cuba, but Ibis being a British ca
ble, it was found that the cutting of
cables at Cientuegoa would serve just
as well.
; The feat accomplished on Thursday
is considered one of the biggest ot tbe
War yet. - TbffrTtnr
from Havana to Cienfuegos, but no
cable from Havana. There is no in
land telegraph beyond Cienfuegos, for
tbe Cubans have cut all the wires, and
as the only cable to the outside world
(except at Santiago de Cuba) ran from
Cienfuegos, Cuba is now cut off, for
the rest of Cuba has no land telegraph
ic or cable communication with San
tiago.

lamin my seventy third year, and for
fifty years I have been a great sufferer
from indigestion, constipation and bil

permanent relief. About one year ago

dangerous form, I became very weak, and
lost flesh rapidly, I commenced using Dr.

twelve pounds in three months. My
strength and health, my appetite and my
digestion were perfectly restored, and now
I leel as young and vigorous as I ever did

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Svbvp
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi

which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—
