Th-United States transport Seneca,
Crrjng Admiral W. S. Schley
Kand Brigadier General W. W. Gordon,
■ of the Porto Rico military commission,
«aet anchor in thia harbor yeeterday
morning. The United State, protect
ed cruiser New Orleans, which ie lying
in the harbor, fired an admiral’, salute
of thirteen guns.
A boat immediately pnt off from the
New Orleans to the Seneca and took
Admiral Schley aboard. He was given
«n enthusiastic reception on board
.be New Orleans.
F. Demar, J. D. H. Lnce and W. H.
Lathrop, representing the Boston firm
of DeFord 4 Co., which has been ap
pointed the government’s fiscal agent
in Porto Rico, will establish banks at
San Juan and Ponce. They believe
the United States government will
eventually retire the Porto Rican cur
rency, which Abe local banks are try
ing to maintain close to par at an
arbitrary price. It is valued approx**
mately at 11,000,000,
The Seneca proceeds to Ponce this
afternoon. Paymaster Arthur, who ia
on bjard, has $1,000,000 for the troops.
During the afternoon Admiral
Schley and General Gordon camel
ashore and took up their quarters at I
the Hotel Inglaterra, where they will ,
remain during the session of the com- <
mission They walked from the quay 1
to the betel, attracting much attention.
The Spanish soldiers and sailors who
thronged the city seemed especially
curious to see the man who destroyed 1
Cervera’s fleet. M
The United States commissioners 1
desire to dispatch their work as soon 1
as possible, but they have no idea of 1
the time it will require. Everything '
depends upon the attitude of the I
Spanish commissioners. All appears *
clear sziftug to General Brooke and ■
his colleagues, but it is reported that
the Spanish com m iseion era ex pec 11
considerable compensation for the
Spanish property to be relinquised.
Their instructions were received yes- 1
terday by the steamer Ciudad de Ca- 1
dis.
One of the commissioners is said to '
have remarked to Admiral Schley 1
that if be was anxious .to leave for *
Spain, and that if be bad his way the *
proceedings would terminate so that
he could go in a week.
Camp Dots-
All things at Camp Nortben have
now gotten down almost to perfection. .
The men are drilled for hours each ‘
day and every one knows hi. duty
and does it well.
They are all looking and longing for
the coming of the pay boss. Some are I
becoming quite discouraged at his '
tardiness. ~ I
There is little sickness in camp and '
none of any serious nature.
No order has yet been received by
Col. Candler to move bis regiment to I
Jacksonville and it is thought the tel
ephone message of Saturday was a
fake. However, no complaints are
beard of this as few wished to go fur
ther south now.
Batteries A and B are awaiting the
coming of their furloughs and pay
boss when they will return home to
•pend 30 days before being mustered I
out.

Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous but-I

foundation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the cons-1

A party of gentlemen but recently 1
returned from a metropolitan
a new story of the leisurely beM boy,
says the Galveston News. They were 1
stopping at a big hotel, and on the
first evening of their visit were seized
with a mighty thirst, but which they
believed plain ice water could assuage.
One of them stepped to the bell push. ’
It was one of those nedfapglpd things, '
' built on the principle of a dollar type-
I writer. You turn the hand arouad
the dial till it points to what you
1 want; then you press the button, and •
i the business office is supposed to do
the rest. The instrument was caused
to register below, bht there was no
response- The thirst kept on increas
ing and the gentlemen got hot in the
collar. One of them spoke of going 1
down and challenging the clerk and
the bell boy to a boxing match. 1
“No, don’t do that,” remarked . one
|of the gentleman. “Just watch me. 1
I’ll bet I’ll get ’em.’’
He pranced over to the bell, yanked
the crank around to “champaign,’’and 1
sot it drive. Tn an increditably short
time there was a knock at the door,
and the boy stuck his bead in. 1
“Champaign, gentlemen T”
“No, just bring up some plain,
everyday, common water, with ice in
it. We rang for champagne just to
catch you napping. Now, get a move
on you.’’

Queen Victoria’s Private Mail-
It is in her private sitting room that
Queen Victoria’s private letters, which
comprise a daily epistle from each one
of her children and children in law,
are always opened and read by the
recipient Each day this portion of
the royal mail bag is brought to the
•ittipg room in locked dispatch boxes.
It is not generally known that every
letter personally read by the Queen,
whether of a public or private nature,
is not only filed, but bound, and some
years ago It was comparatively easy
for any visitor to the castle to obtain
access to these valuable and often pri
vate documents. Now, however, these
volumes are kept under lock and key.

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 Sybup
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 Sybup 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 iu advance of all other laxatives,
as It acta 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—
