the naval authorities hot
' still They Consider the Information
Reliable.-Porto Rico to Bo
Hl ) Invaded
W A hHINGTo», May 26.-—No word baa
baeo received by the navy department
from eUber Admiral Sampson or
Commodore Sobley in official confirm
atioa of the bottling up of Admiral
frrtwfa fleet at Santiago.
Jlfbe matter rente where it has for
| two days, and is a semi official report
r coming to the department, but from a
:source believed to be reliable. It
from parties having relations
with the navy department aad io a
position to be accurately advised, at ill
the authorities are very anxious to
gave the report officially coo firmed by
one of ibe American commanders.
Naval officers are now turning tbeir
atleotio* to inquiries whether it is
possible lot Admiral Oervera to rd
' out of Santiago harbor, Tliey hold
that this is impossible, and being so,
tbs career of the Spanish navy is at an
•nd, so far as it constituted a menace
against our ships
It Is said that thia is not mere opin*
ion, but that naval manoeuvers were
carried on at Key West and Tortugas
a few months ago which furnish a pos
itive demonstration that Admiral Cer
veraa cannot make an exit without be
ing discovered.
An officer who was on board one of
the American ships during the Tor tu
fas movements says a ebam night at
tack of torpedo boats was made upon
the big battleships and cruteere. ■
The latter were given bo notice t ht
the projected attack, and there wee tty
extra guard meh as the Amoridan
ehipe now main taiwr—Ret every tbb
,pedo boat engaged in the attack v»>
discovered long before it was within,
.striking distance of the cruisers and
battleships- -
One of the attacking torpedo boats
was so bewildered by the search
lights that it nearly ran into a cruiser}
The lesson drawn from this attack
was that a night sally by an enemy
was impossible, owing to the modern
methods of discovering the approach.
Taking everything into account,
naval officers feel that Admiral Oerve
ra committed a fatal blunder in being
trapped at Santiago, and that there, is
no fear that the trap will prove inade
quate to bold him.
It is stated on good authority that
the plan of the government _is to in
vade Porto Rico before the occupation
of Cuba. Twenty-five thousand sol
diers will be landed bn the island as
soon as possible.
Dispatches from Madrid say there
are renewed sinister predictions of an
impending revolution in Spain, and
the queen regent has been advised to
leave the country. This she declines
to do.
The Madrid papers are urging that
, all American cable connection across
the Atlantic be cut if the Cuban cables
are aevered.

Deafness Cannot be Cursd
by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafhess, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous fining ot the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rambling 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
fhces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafhess (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

One Red Rose Rental.
‘ Oo the second Sapday d each June
there is p»id te tbe oldest lineal de
scendant of the founder of Manheim,
: BHron HAnry-Williim Stiegel, the an
nual rApt for the plot of ground given
by him nfore thab A century and a
quarter ago for the building of a
church,” writes Clifford Steward, io
June Lvdifs’ Home Journal, - ; . ;
“This rent, this yearly tribute, is one
red rode; and it is the payment of this
flower to the4ieir of Baron that forms
the occasion of the beautiful and novel
celebration, the ’Feast of Roses,’ at
Manheim, Pennsylvania. The day
preceding tbe formal cere monies is ob
served as a general ho’id ay, devoted to
festivities and amusements, and to
welcoming the heir. The town is ear
ly filled with people from the sur
rounding country, and by the time set
for tbe coming of the distinguished
guest the streets are thronged with
an expectant multitude. As tbe train
draws into the station the thundering
boom of a cannon announces its arrh
val, and in a few moments the honor
ed descendant of the Baron appears in
an open carriage preceded by a baud
Os
appropnale re-1
ligious exercises, with music 'and ad
dresses, tbe simple yet beautiful and
touching ceremony of paying tbe rent
is performed in the church on tbe fol
lowing day. Every space, every nook
within tbe church is filled with a lux
uriant mass of red roses, and through
tbe open windows peep the blossoms
of tbe rose vines that climb and clus
ter on the outside wall. In tbe nemo
and in behalf of the congregation the
minister takes from its silver chalice
the rose that has been specially select
ed for tbe purpose because of its
transcendent beauty and fragrance,
and presents it to the heir of Baron
Stiegel in discharge of the obligation
required by the deed. The recipient
takes tbe rose, and in a few remarks
acknowledges tbe payment of the
debt.”
A Beal Nloa Girl.
An Incident the past winter of a would
be fashionable young woman illustrates
the means to which some pretentious belles
think themselves put to secure enjoyment
and masculine attention.
She Is not, one is pleased te say, a wom
an who works nor one really gentle. She
Is the sort who could not think of going
anywhere short of the Waldorf to dine nor
dream of speaking with an acquaintance
unfashionably dressed. It was the man
himself who afterward told the story. Not
to another woman—that would be mean—
but to a man. Os course he had no objec
tions to telling IL so it got about generally.
Miss Pretense never had met the man
before, but she had known his brother a
few winters. When she met the man, she
said before long:
“What are you going to do on Monday
evening!”
Anticipating a bidding to dinner at
least, he assured her that he had no-en
gagement.
She beamed and said that was delight
ful. “Your brother told me that you were
intending to invite me to the opera,” she
cooed. “I can go on Monday Right.”
Some men would have bolted, but- this
one flustered. ‘Yes, certainly—charmed. ”
Next day he sent tbe opera house plan
to her and asked her to select seats. She
chose two in the fifth row from the stage
—go each.
On Monday evening the man arrived in
good time. Tbe lady was in full toilet,
but slightly cool in demeanor.
“The flowers have not come yet,” she
remarked sternly. He had not sent any.
But he took the cue and said it was a
shame. On the way to the opera house he
ordered the casriage stopped at the most
expensive florist’s, went in and bought an
armful of violets for her highness. After
tbe opera they dropped into the Astoria
for an *8 luncheon.
But tbe friend of tbe man says you
ought to hear the man himself tell of that
experience. No one else, he maintains,
oan do it justice.—New York Press.

Trainla) Animals Vox Circus Tricks.
There ii never a time in the life of an
animal tr ner when ho is absolutely safe,
bub these nen learn to forget their dan
ger, for It lecomes as much a part of their
daily lives is eating or sleeping. Take the
case of a elephant man, for instance.
One swin of that huge trunk, one thrust
of the bigßusk or one misstep of the pon
derous foto would send him to his death.
There is sways within reach the power to
kill him, atad often the desire, but he keeps
his elenhnts afraid of him all the time,
and they Mare not de what they might
like. f
Perhap the most Interesting trained
performs , because of the apparent dan
ger that unwinds them, are the lions,
tigers ant leopards. One trainer used to
go into i steel barred cage with lions,
tigers and -leopards and make them form
pyramids He would He down on them
and takq all kinds of liberties with the
dangerou creatures. But there were in
variably : alf a dozen other keepers near ,
the cage with rawhide whips, hot irons
and pisto ( close at hand in case of trou
ble. Ev< i then there were several in- •
stances off the animals turning on him,
and in otfe case—that of the big Hon Wal
lace—thimhowman had his arm badly in
jured befjre he could be rescued.
The sedfet of handling all beasts of the
cat specla, so the animal trainers say, is
to keep Item constantly afraid of you.
The insttnt they get over their fear they
will attain any one who crosses their path.
Thoy arciall treacherous, too, and often
gather ffiurage for an attack when the
maater’rayes are turned away from them,
although’they would not dare revolt if he
faced them. The tigers are the worst of
the whole Ipt too. One never knows when
they will-get over their fear and spring at
the keeper from behind.—Harper’s Bound
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
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 Bvbvp
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 manu? ctured
by the California Tig 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
cal profession, and the satisfaction
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 Compan—
