<a . , Wsps. A ~ >** > \ (<F \ 3 ■'v ■ \ Pleasant Dreams. It does not lie in the painter’s fancy to imagine a prettier picture than that of a young girl, with lips luscious with the promise of love, half parted in the smiles of happy dreamland. The mind of happy maidenhood is a clear and polished mirror, which, when the wits go wandering into the ghostland of dreams, reflects the impressions of waking hours. If those impressions are pleasant and painless and happy, she will smile in her sleep. If the impressions are those of a suffering woman, tortured with, the special ailments to which the feminine organism is liable, the picture is spoiled by the lines of suffering and despondency Maladies of this nature unfit a woman for joyous maidenhood and for capable motherhood. They incapacitate her to bear the burdens of life in any sphere of action. Household, marital and social duties alike are a burden to the woman who is constantly suffering from headaches, backaches, dragging sensations and weakening drains. Dr Pierce’s Favorite Prescription positively, completely, unfailingly cures troubles of this nature. It imparts health, strength, vigor to the distinctly womanly organs. It fits for carefree, healthy maidenhood, happy wifehood and capable motherhood. "I have a little step-daughter who had St. Vitus's Dance, which your medicine cured,” writes Mrs. T. F. Boze. of Ford. Dinwiddle Co., Va. " I spent about twenty dollars for doctor’s bills and medicine, and it did not do the child one cent s worth of good. We commenced giving Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription and 'Golden Medical Discovery' and used three bottles of each, which cost only six dollars. Now the child is running around every where and is just as healthy as ever.”

FLEET IS DESTROYED Spanish Warships Sent to the Bottom by Sampson. ——— I OUH LOSS 13 ONE KILLED While the Spaniards Have Three Hun(lied and Fifty Killed and Drowned. Shatter Demands Unconditional Surrender of the City, Which la Refused by tile Spanish General. Washington, July s.—Late last night the navy department posted the appended translation of a cipher cablegram received from Commodore Wat son. Xt is similar to that received during the day from Admiral Sampson, but I contains the additional information that ! 350 Spaniards were killed or drowned. 1 160 wounded and 1,600 captured. Commodore Watson’s dispatch follows: To the Secretary of the Navy, Washington: Playa del Este, July 3.—At 9:39 a in. today the Spanish squadron (seven in all) including one gunboat, came out of Santiago in column, and was totally destroyed within an hour, excepting Cristobal Colon, which was chased 45 miles to westward by the commander-in-chief, Brooklyn, Oregon and Texas, surrendering to Brooklyn, | but was beached to prevent sinking. None of our officers or men were injured, except on board Brooklyn. Chief , Yeoman Ellis was killed and one man wounded. Admiral Cervera, all commanding officers, excepting of Oquendo, about 70 other officers and 1,603 men are ' prisoners. About 350 killed or drowned and 160 wounded, the latter being cared I for on Solace and Olivette. Have just ar- • rived off Santiago in Marblehead to take charge while commander-in-chief is lookout for Cristobal Colon. Watson. ANNIHILATED. Sampson Reports Results of His Fight With Spain’s Crack Fleet. I ‘ Washington, July 5. —The complete annihilation of the Spanish squadron at Santiago and the capture of the Spanish admiral, Cervera with 1,300 prisoners; the demand by General Shafter for the surrender of Santiago by today noon on pain of bombardment; word from Admiral Dewey that the Ladrone islands had been captured, that a Spanish gunboat had surrendered, that 100 or more Spanish officers and men were taken and that our first Philippine expedition had landed—this is in part the thrilling record of such a Fourth of July as has not been known since the bells of Independence Hall rang out the tidings of American freedom. Yesterday was a day whsn one momentous event followed anorher in constant and rapid succession, each hour bringing forth ifcr IB i W 5 * Us .'Jr” efer. Hr? ADMIRAL CERVERA some new feature more startling than what had gone before. The climax came when, amid the wildest cheering, which fairly shook the great war, state and navy building to its foundation, Admiral Sampson’s dispatch announcing his glorious victory and the entire destruction of the Spainish fleet, was given to the public. Story Told by Sampson. The story of the day is best told in the official dispatch, bearing date of July 4, from Sampson, from Shafter and from Dewey. Stirring as they all are, that of Sampson was accorded the honor of chief importance, not only for the immediate results secured, but also from the effects of this crushing defeat in weakening the defences of the city of Santiago, and in dealing Spain such a staggering blow that she is left practically without a navy. Sampson’s daapatch follows: The fleet, under my command, r.ffiers the nation as a Fourth of July proseni ths

j destruction of the whole of Cervera’s ; fleet—not one escaped. It attempted to escape at 9:33 a. m. and at 2 p. m. the last, the Cristobal Colon, had run ashore, 60 miles west of Santiago, and had let down her colors. IjOSS, one killed and two wounded. Enemy's loss, several hundred, including 1.30) prisoners. Admiral Cervera taken prisoner. That but one of our sailors, a yoeinan on the Brooklyn, should have been killed in an engagement of such magniI tude, is without a parallel in naval an- | uals, save in that other unparalled ■ record which Dewey made at Manila, i With the Spanish fleet destroyed, the | way is partly cleared for the advance of i the Americrn squadron into the harbor of Santiago. If Cervera’s armored Cruisers could cross the mine field and clear the Merrimac at the entrance of harbor, the American ships can follow the same course. There are the inner fort ific it ions and island forts still to be reduced, but they have passed through a baptism of fire recently and are little more than rums. Thus with Shafter s guns thundering on Santiago from the land, and Sampson's from the harbor, the fall of the city is assured beyond further question. Shaner’s Demand Still Being Considered. General Shafter has cabled that his demand for the surrender of Santiago is still being considered by the Spanish authorities, which indicates that the refusal of th-j Spanish commander to capitulate was not final. In any event, 12 o’clock today marks the limit of Shafter's concession and if Santiago did not capitulate at that hour, the great seige guns, backed by the batteries of lighter field pieces, have begun their work of destruction. — OFFICERS KILLED.

Which Was Totally Annihilated by Sampson. Washington, July s.—The annihilation of Admiral Cervera’s fleet is a terrible blow to Spain as this fleet was far more formidable than that wiped out by Admiral Dewey at Manila, and was the strongest flotilla of ships Spain had afloat. It consisted of the four armored cruisers Vizcaya, Oquendo, Cristobal Colon and Mana Teresa and the three torpedo boat destroyers Pluton, Furor and originally the destroyer Terror, but last advices place her at San Juan, Porto Rico, where she had been crippled by the St. Paul. The Vizcaya, Maria Teresa and Oquendo were sister ships built at Bilbao, in 1690-91. Their speed of 18.5 knots was given by engines having a horse power of 9,500. Ou forced draft they were capable of making 20.2 knots. The armor of these snips made them particularly formidable. Ou the waterline there was a belt of armor 5 feet 6 inches broad and 315 feet long of 12 inches in thickness and of steel. The turrets were surrounded with 9 inches of steel armor, the conning towers 12 inches. The protected deck covering the vitals of ths ship bad from 2 inches to 3 inches of steel. Surrounding the ammunition tubes and magazines was a circle of 8 inches of steel. The armament consists of 40 guusand from six to eight torpedo lubes on each ship. In detail these guns were two 11inch Hontona breechloading guns in turrets, one forward and one aft, ten 5.5 inch Hontona quick fires, five on each beam, the torward and alter ones being spousoned, eight 6-pouud quick fires. Ten 1-pounder quick fires, eight Nordenhotf machineguns, two Maxim machineguns. The Vizcaya had six torpedotubes and the other two ships eight torpedotubes. On each ship two of the torpedotubes were submerged. Each ship earned a complement of 484 men. The Cristobal Colon was substantially similar, but was ot later build, being turned out in 1896 at Sesin Ponsate. She was 6,849 tons, 328 feet long and lu other lespects was similar to the turee first named ships, with slight variations. She earned a complement ct 500 officers and men. The torpedoboat destroyers were of the latest typeof tnese lormidabie cratt. Their armament consisted of six guns, the heaviest being 14-pouuders. quick fire; also two 14-iuch torpedo tubes on deck. Each haa a complement ot 70 officers and men. The total number of men, officers and crew was 2,062 on the seven ships. Troops Ordered to the Fr<jnt Will Remain Mt Chickainatiga.

Ga„ July s.—The railroad companies yesterday afternoon had all their trains on the siding at Rossville ana Ringgold to carry the six regiments ot troops ordered to the front and last night the Southern railroad had sent a Pullman train to Rossville to get General Wilson, who was to be in command of tho expedition and his staff who were to leave for Charleston. At Rossville the trainmen received orders to return to the city, an order having been received from Washington rescinding the order to move the troops. It is uu- ] derstood from this that the department has made a complete change of plans, and that uo regiments are to be moved from this point for some time. The paymasters who have been here since iast Wednesday completed the work of paying off every regiment in the First army corps today. 820,000 Blaxe at Belton, Ky. Belton, Ky., July 4.—P. S.
