CERVERA DESPERATE.
Will Make a Bold Duh for Liberty—
Shafter to Bo Reinforced.
Washington, June 22.—A special
dispatch from Santiago de Cuba tayo
that Cubans have brought information
tu Admiral Sampson that Admiral
Cervera is prepared to make a deeper*
ate effort to take his ships cut of San*
tiago harbor at the first favorable op
portunity.
The Spanish warships, it is reported,
have boon coaled to their fullest ca
pacity and the crews are refused shore
leave. Every night vessels drop down
the bay to be prepared to embraoj the
first favorable opportunity to attempt
a dash past the blockading rquadreo.
It is said to be the Spanish admiral's
hope to save at least a portion of his
ships from capture, and in a fight to
sink ooms of the American craft.
The project to occupy Porto Rico is
regarded by the authorities uow as
practically removed from immediate
consideration, and will be abandoned?
until a thorough campaign has been
waged in Cuba.
The war department has issued or
ders to Brigadier General Duffield to
proceed with his entire brigade from
Camp Alger to Fort Monroe, where
they will proceed to Santiago. The
brigade consists of about 3,000 men in
all.
These reinforcements for Gen.Shaft
er will be embarked at once and rush
ed at the greatest possible speed. The
department is determined to take ev
ery precaution to wage an active cam
paign.
He Will Do.
A certain wealthy man of this city,
says the Detroit Free Press, has set
his nephew up in business three times,
bnt the young man lacks something
essential tu success io the merchan.
tile line, and failed with each effort.
When he came with the fourth request
for financial backing the uncle de
murred.
"Yon must learn to leap on your
self,** be said. "I can't carry you all
yonr life. It would be an unkindnees
in me to keep supplying you with
money to carry on enterprises that in
variably end in assignment. I’ll tell
you what I*ll do. You owe a good
deal as a result of that last failure.
Pitch in on your own hook, and gjjt
alone until you pay those debts off.
Whan you've done that I’ll give you a
check for all they amount to. Such
an experience would do more good
Shan all tbe money I could give you.’*
Three months later the nephew
walked in'with every claim receipted
in full, and tbe uncle was delighted ns
he gave him the promised check.
"That’s something like it now, and
I warrant you feel all the better for
hard training How did you manage,
Torn!” . *
"Borrowed the money, uncle.”
Now the old gentleman is telling
about that there is tbe making of a
great financier in hie nephew.
A Destructive Cyclone.
News reached this city yeaterday of
a destructive cyclone which passed
over Coneord late Tuesday afternoon,
demolishing houses and uprooting
trees. I
Lightning struck tbe negro Metho*
diet church and it was burned to \be
ground. The Odd Fellows building
which was located within a short dis
tance of the church, was badly dam*
aged by the fire.
The terrible rain and wind was act
companied by hail, which completely
stripped orchards of all their fruit and
played sad havoc with corn and cot
ton.
No one was reported as having been
’injured, which is remarkable consid
ering tbe severity of the storm.

SEVERAL DAYS LONGER
General Shafter Will Not Land His
Troops at Once.
Washington, June 22—According
to a report from Rear Admiral Samp
son, the general landing of General
BLafter** troops on the coast of Cuba
will be necessarily delated for several
days.
Whenever the landing takes place
bitter work is ahead for General Shaft
er’s men before ihe Special) flag
comes down from Morro’s walla The
Spanish infantry, cavalry and: guer
rilla forces, estimated by, Admiral
Sampson number from 30,000
to 45/XX) moo, are stretched from
Gusvtanamq m Cabanas, a distance of
fifty miler, reedy to concentrate at the
point of attank. ‘ /
But starving end harassed from the
-inland by the Insurgents, the situation
of the Spaniards is desperate, smd na
val officers familiar with the situation
fully expect terrific fighting about
Santiago. ’
Army bfficeuon the transports have
some anxiety as to how the men will
aland tbe strain if they are forced to
fight immediately upon landing, after
the inactivity at Tampa and the
wearying voyage There is no fear,
however, for tbe final result, as they
will be given valuable assistance by
tbe guns of the fleet.
Spinsters Because Heroines.
"The consciousness of seeing her
own charms reflected in a man’s eyes
is something which appeals to every
women,” writes Edward W, Bok of
"They Who Never Were Bride” in 11 e
June Ladies* Home Journal.
"Nothing else ever makes her so
proud and so happy in exactly Jhe
same way But that consciousness is
not always for expressiot: sometimes
it is a thing for one’s inner self, to be
enjoyed at the time and to be lived
over in the years to come. No; wo
men do not wilfully turn away from
their own happiness. But they do
sometimes darken their own lives to
make brighter the lives of others who
may be close or dependent upon them.
Some higher and fundamental duty
sometimes calls, loftier motives quiet
tbe deepest heart-longings,a God given
task sometimes points a woman in the
opposite direction to her own instincts.
Tbsre is such a thing—not known
to tbe young, albeit years bring the
knowledge— as a woman turning away
from great happiness to insure the
great comfort and happiness of others,
choosing their comfort as her life
work. Men do it now and then. But
women oftener do it. Memories take
tbe plnce of realities, and in those
memories, sweet and tender, many
women are living today. They have
never been brides. But they might
have been. At one time in their lives
the necessity of choice came to them.
Prayfully and tearfully, and yet reso
lutely, they made the choice. Today
they are not wives simply because
they are heroines And who will say
which is the greater?”
The Real Danger.
Gladstone had tbe eye of a seer and
with almost supernatural foresight
could mark the conditions of the fu
ture.
In an interview, but recently pub
iishedrlu discussing tbe future of
America, be said:
am not so much afra>d either of
democracy or of science as of the love
of money. This seems to me a grow
ing evil. Also, there is a danger from
tbe growth of that dreadful military
spirit.”
Today the greatest danger that
threatens American liberties is that of
tbe mony power. That power has its
hands upon the government at Wash
ington, and is manipulating tbe war
to suit its own aims and ends. Were
that baleful influence withdrawn to
day tbe war would not last ‘a month
longer.—Rome Tribune.
How to Look Good.
Good looks are really more than
skin deep, dspending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital or
gans. If the liver is inactive, you
have a bilious look ; if your stomach
is disordered, you have a dyspeptic
look;il your kidneys are affected, you
have a pinched look. Secure good
health, and you will surely have good
looks. “Electric Bitters” is a good
Alterative and Tonic. Acts directly
on the stomach, liver aad kidneys,
purifies the blood, cures pimples,
blotches and boils, and gives a good
complexion. Every bottle guaranteed.
