WATSON WILL GO And When lie Does Spanish Ports Will S'lffer AND SO WILL CAMARA. Final Plans Outlined For Wat son's Instruction. Washington, July 16 —An- j other week without doubt will see the departure of the eastern squadron. j Recognizing that the fleet un- < der command of Camara will have to come to the rescue ot any of the port- chat may be at tacked by the American squad- ( ron. Commodore Watson’s or- ( ders now require him to attack a coast city. The department has not settled upon the one he shal) first attack. This is a matter which has been left to him and to Rear Admiral Sampson to determine. It may largely depend upon the location of the Spanish fleet. If Admiral Camara’s com mand should be at Cadiz when the American squadron reaches European waters, naval experts •ay that it will be the policy of the American commander to intke a demonstration upcn the northern coast of Spain, with ; view to bringing Camara around in that direction. Unless sup ported by the shore batteries his destruction will Jthen be certain. Admiral Camara will ariive at Cartagena, according to offi cial advices received today, on Sunday. As listed by the depart ment officials, Spain can only place dependence in these ves seis of bis fleet. The battleshij Pelayo and the armored cruiser Carlos N. (both of which ar* excellent fighting ships, but no match for the American battle ship); the third-class battleships Victoria and Numancia, not in good condition; the torpedo boat destroyers Destructor, Audaz, Osado and Proserpina and about eight torpedo boats. In addition Spain has about 10 auxiliary cruisers which can be employed for defensive pur poses, but none of which have the armaneut or speed of the American ships. Besides thes< « vessels, Spain has a number of punboats for coast defense, none of them able to take part in any open tight at sea. Tangier, July 16.—0 n one of the quays at Gibraltar are at present a number of large cases addressed to admiral Sampson, at Tangier. Ministers and Counsuls of the foreign Powers here state that no neutrality has yet been de clared. If, however, the Ameri can fleet arrives, the foreign representatives would hold a conference, the result of which will be communicated to the Spanish Minister of Foreign Af fairs, to be communicated to Commodore Watson. Reading between the lines, it is clear that the Consuls will do everything possible to prevent the American fleet from remain ing here, but it will be a mere platonic protest, for if Commo dore Watson insists on remain ing no power on earth can dis lodge him from here. FvR watson’s coming. London, July, 16 —Advices received here today from the Canary Islands under date of July 4th say that the two Span ish torpedo boats were still at Las Palmas, and it was an nounced that a Spanish warship * was at anchor at Teneriffe.Ships Ike Reyal is tbs bi«he«t grade bakisg pswds Uwa.

According to mail advices from Cadiz dated July 2nd, the old Spanish broadside armor clad Vitoria, for some time past used as a training ship, and which was iowed back to Cadiz after starting ostensibly for the Philippine Islands with the fleet of Admiral Camara, is the only warship in the harbor. Mines have been laid to protect the entrance into the port of C diz and the«coast lights are ex anguished alont? the whole length of the Spanish coast. Ves sels are excluded from all har bors of Spain after dark. ——— — —— CEDARTOWN DOTS Cfiped From The Cedartown Standard. Mrs. D. N.

Blood Poison; Contagious B’oort Poison lias been ap rr< j-iiatrly called the curse of nnukiud. t is 1 lie one disease that physicians can not cure; their mercurial and potash remedies only bottle up the poison in the system, to surely break forth in a more virulent form, resulting in a total wre< k of the system.
