MARTIAL LAW PROCLAIMED. Afilaaldo Dwlim a Dictatorship In th« PtaUpptaM—Gorman Ambassador TUIU the President -Affairs In Cuba. Washington, July 23.--There were several events of Interest, if not of importance, at the war And navy departments yesterday. Gen. Anderson, at Cavite, sent a message saying that Aguinaldo had declared a dictatorship and martial law over the Philippines, something that gave the cabinet food for consideration at their regular meeting yesterday. There was no disposition to force any issue with the insurgent chief at the present time, but it is pretty well understood that he will not be allowed to commit the United States government in the future treatment of the Philippine islands question. The visit of the German ambassador to the president and to the secretary of state was a basis for the belief that he had called to make some representation on that subject and, perhaps, as well on the question of pe?<*« as affected by the programme laid down by Watson's projected voyage to. European waters If So. No Official Confirmation was obtaiued, and a “friendly visit'’ was the only explanation offered by Secretary Day for the appearance of the German ambassador in dog days in Washington. The embassy people were no more communicative, so that if anything of importance passed during the meeting between the president and Dr. Von Holleben it probably will ’be revealed only in the shape ot action, later on. It would not be surprising if it should develop that Strong Kuropmtn Influence* 'are being brought to bear to dissuade^ the navy department from dispatching Watson's fleet to Europe, but so far they appear to have been ineffectual, for it is officially stated that the departure of the squadron is only delayed, not abandoned. Although Gen. Miles reported by cablegram yesterday from Mole St. Nicolas, Hayti, that “he was moving along well with the first detachment of the military expedition against Porto Rico, the body of liis dispatch preceding this statement gave rise at first to the apprehension that, like Gen. Shatter at Santiago, Gen. Miles was threatened with a costly delay in landing his expedition on Porto Rican soil, owing to the abseuce of lighters and tugs.

Lighter* on the Way from New Orleans. It was said at the war department later on that some of the lighters were already on their way from New Orleans and New York, and that no sensible delay would arise on that score. It appibtrs from Gen. Miles’ first statement relative to Col. liecker that he was uot acquainted with'the necessity that had arisen for that officer's presence in Washington in order to provide for the speedy transportation to Spain of the troops surrendered at Santiago. The Brief Report from Admiral S*mp»ou declaring the success of the expedition to Nipe is really more important than appears on the surface. The bay of Nipe lies on the north coast of Cuba, almost directly across the island from Santiago. It is purposed to establish a base there which will save at least two days' time in getting supplies into Cuba as compared with the Santiago route. It will also form a good point of operation against Uolguin. not far distaut, and if it should develop, unfortunately. that a restraining hand must be laid upon the Cubans themselves, Nipe, in connection with Santiago. would be an effective means oi doing this. Not Officially Informed. The war department has not yet been informed that Gen. Shafter's Cuban allies have quit the American liues for the reaaous’sent out iu a printed letter l>3* Gen. Garcia, but it is scarcely doubted that sueh is the ease for t\jc friction has been growing more pronounced every day since the fall ol Santiago and it is feared that a severance of relations cannot be longer avoided. That the Cuban junta is still hopeful of avoiding such a measure is evinced by the confidence shown by Senor Quesada, one of the Cuban legation here, in au amicable settlement ol the matter.

VVA8HlxoTON,July 22.—A consolidated statement prepared by Maj. A. Johnston, assistant adjutant general, shows that of the 377,500 men authorized by congress to be enlisted in the regular aud volunteer armies, 254,479 up to this time have been mustered into the service. Of the 23,031 yet required to complete the authorized quota of the army, | 13,308 are regulars, 8,000 are volun- | leers under the second call, 862 are im- [ munes and 851 arc engineers. ' Authorised Strength of the Regular Army. The authorized strength of the regu- ; lar army is 61.000. On April 30 it con- ‘ tained 26,500 men. Since that time 23,* | 192 recruits have been obtained from a | probable 73,000 applicants, by a limited ! number of recruiting officers, for the ; most part strangers in the country I canvassed, and during a period of comI petition by state authorities for the j same men.

I Authorised Strength of the Volunteer Army. j The authorized strength of the vol- ! nnteer army is 216,500. Of this numj ber 125,000 were included the presi- \ dent's first call for troops, all of which i have been reeruited, mustered and put in the field; 75,‘K)0 were inI eluded in the second eall, 67,000 of which have been mustered into service, 3.000 were constitute three special regiments of cavalry, lO.oQJ were immunes and 3,500 were engineers.

The three special cavalry Regiments commanded by Colonels Roosevelt, Torrey and Grigsby have been recruited to their full strength, and there are hundreds of applicants for any vacancies that may occur in them. Yellow Fever Immune*. Congress authorized the enlistment of 10,000 yellow fever immunes, and ol this numbetr 9.136 have been mustered into the service. All of the ten regiments are complete except the Seventh, EightlHiud Tenth, and they probably will not be recruited to full strength. The Engineer Regiments. Of the 3,300 engineers authorized by special act of congress 2.649 have been mastered. The First regiment contains 53 officers and 1.090 men, tlie Second 53 officers and 1,100 men, and the Third 53 officers and 300 men. It is expected that the Third regiment will be recruited to its full strength in a few days. A Wonderful Achievement. The recruiting, mustering, equipping ind placing in the field of the present great army of nearly 300,000 in less than 90 days—nearly every man having to undergo a strict examination—is regarded by army experts as a wonderful achievement. Officers representing the great armies of Europeau nations ha re been amazed at the work accomplished, and admit frankly that Europe contains little of such fighting mat-> ial as is to be fouud in abundance in the United States, SPOKEN AS BY AUTHOR IT Y. The War Plans of the Government Forecast by One in a Position to Know Whereof He Speaks.

Washington, July 23.—A significant statement was made yesterday by a gentleman in a position to speak with knowledge and authority as to the plans of the admistration with reference to future war operations. In substance, the statement follows: “Commodore Watson, iu proceeding to the Spanish peninsula as soon a* the Porto Rico expedition is gotten under way, is not to bombard the cities on the Spanish coast. No such idea of bombardment of the coast is entertained. , “While there may be other incidental purposes, the main mission of Watson is to take care of Camara's fleet. The movement of this fleet and the fears and apprehensions caused by reports concerning it are to be stopped for all time. The ships under Camara will be I located by Watson and finally met and engaged. The talk occasionally indulged in as to the Canary islands is utterly without foundation. . This government has no plan to take these islands and does not want them. “Despite popular expectation that the Porto Rican operations will be followed immediataly by action against Havana, it can be said that Havana will not be attacked while yellow fever conditions exist.'* 8—tea •» the Cahteet. Washington. July 23.—The cabinet session occupied an hour and a half, and was devoted almost exclusively to the Porto Rico expedition and incident aggressive steps in the campaign. An immense chart of the island was sent for daring the session and Its lines carefully studied. After the session it was specifically and positively stated that there had been no decision whatever as to the peace outlook, ea to the new phase created by the Cuban ins argents' independent attitude, nor ae ta the action of Againaldo in the Philip pinna

Heroic Deeds of the An ujr. “This has been accomplished through the heroic deeds of the array, and to its officers and men theTnaji :>r-general commanding offers his sincere thanks for their endurance of hards hips heretofore unknown in the Araeriuao army. The work you have accomplished may | well appeal to the pride of your coun- ! try men, and has been rivalled upon i few occasions in the world's history. The Capture of Daiquiri and Slboney. Seising, with the assistance of the j navy, the towns of Baiquiri and Sibo- ; ney, you pushed boldly forth, gallautl.v j driving back the enemy's outpost in the | engagement of La Quasina and comj pieted the concentration of the army | near Sevilla, within sight qf the Span- | ish stronghold at Santiago de Cuba, j The outlook from Sevilla was one that might well have appalled the stoutest ! heart.

Not tVon Without Great Sacrifice). This was not done without great sacrifice. The death of 230 gallant soldiers and the wounding of 1,284 others, 1 shows but too plainly the tieree contest in which you were engaged.

WEAK SPOTS. Everybody Comes Into This World With a Predisposition to Disease. A Talk With Mrs. Pinkham About the Cause of Anemia. For Infants and Children Over Thirty Years The Kind Yea Have Always Bought ▼M( CINTAUR CO.RAHV, TT MURRAY (TRIIT.IU* YORK CITY. ■ Bears The

Everybody comes into this world with a predisposition to disease of some particular tissue; in other words, everybody has a weak spot. In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the weak spot in women is - somewhere in the uterine system. The uterine organs have less re

sistance to disease than the vital organs; that’s why they give out the soonest. Not more than one woman in a hundred—nay, v in five hundred—has perfectly healthy organs of

generation. This points to the stern necessity of helping one’s self just as soon as the life powers seem to be on the wane. Excessive menstruation is a sign of physical weakness and want of tone in the uterine organs. It saps the strength away and produces anemia (blood turns to water).

If you become anemic, there is no knowing what will happen, it your gums and the inside of your lips and inside your eywlds look pale in color, you are in a dangerous way and must stop that drain on your powers. Why not build up on a generous, uplifting tonic, like Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound? Mrs. Edwin Ehrig, 413 Church St., Bethlehem, Pa., says: *'I feel it my duty to write and tell you that I am better than I have been for four years. I used Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable

Compound, one package of Sanative Wash, one box of Liver Pills, and can say that I am perfectly cured. Doctors did not help me any. I should have been in my grave by this time if it had not been for your medicine/ It was a godsend to me. I was troubled with excessive menstruation, which caused womb trouble,and I was obliged to remaining bed for six weeks. Mrs. Pinkham's medicine * was recofhmended to me, and after using it a ◄

short time, was troubled no more with flooding. I also had severe pain in my kidneys. This, also, I have no more. I shall always recommend the Compound, for it has cured me, and it will cure others. 1 would like to have you publish this letter/*, (In such eases the dry form ol Compound should be used.)
