THE CUBAN STRUGGLE. A PANIC EXISTS IN THE SPANISH ARMY IN CONSEQUENCE OF THE INCREASE OF YELLOW FEVER—THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS IN THE HOSPITALS. Key West (Fla.), July 12.—Advices from Cuba state that a panic in the Spanish army in consequence of the terrible increase of yellow fever in the last few days, exists. It is estimated that fully 80 per cent of the cases prove fatal. In Santiago de Cuba, there are 4,500 soldiers in the hospitals. Maj.-Gen. Linares is stricken and his life is despaired of. The physicians and nurses are utterly incapable of coping with the disease. The epidemic is also a very serious one all along the trocha. In some cases, entire companies have been stricken. Gen. Arelas and nearly every member of his staff are ill. Capt.-Gen. Weyler has ordered the erection of a new hospital along the trocha and will send to Spain for additional physicians. In Holquin, and other places on the east side of the island, the fever is raging with great violence and is spreading to central points. From Matanzas comes most interesting tales. It that city it is said the mortality is about 60 per cent and it is becoming difficult to bury the dead. The hospitals in Havana contain nearly six thousand patients and every day the number is being increased. Friday 450 sick soldiers were brought in from Pinar del Rio province. HAVANA, July 12.—A fight between Col. Pinera's forces and the enemy under Gen. Capet in the Lorenzo hills, near Mocosena, in the Holquin district, lasted two hours and resulted in the defeat of the insurgents. They left seven killed and carried off seventy killed and wounded. The troops had four killed and fifteen wounded. HAVANA, July 8.—The proposed duel between General Bradley T. Johnson and Senior Manuel Ampudia will not take place, as the friends of the former have dissuaded the General from accepting the challenge on the ground that it was irregular. Gen. Johnson telegraphs via Key West as follows to his paper concerning the duel: Your Havana correspondent has unwillingly contributed to the gayety of the town for the last few days. For a week or two he has been getting abusive and anonymous letters by mail. One letter was signed "Manuel de Ampudia, retired Captain of Infantry," and I laughingly declared the retired Captain must prove before he fight me: First, that he was a white man; second, that he has two clean shirts; and third, why he was "retired" from the army while his country was at war. Your war correspondent thought this settled the case. The clean shirt question was insurmountable, even if the "retired" one was not. Then appeared the "retired Captain" in the columns of "La Lucha," the official organ of the palace, in the character More Medicinal value in a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla than in any other preparation. More skill is required, more care taken, more expense incurred in its manufacture. It costs the proprietor and the dealer but it costs the consumer less, as he gets more doses for his money. More curative power is secured by its peculiar combination, proportion and process, which make it peculiar to itself. More people are employed and more space occupied in its Laboratory than any other. More wonderful cures effected and more testimonials received than by any other. Sales and more increase year by year are reported by druggists. More people are taking Hood's Sarsaparilla today than any other, and more are taking today than ever before.

The reasons were explained why it was not in the public interest that railroads should drive each other by competition into bankruptcy and as this result seems inevitable under present conditions, the professor believed that pooling under national control should be permitted. In general it was his belief that for the immediate future it should be our policy rather to perfect State control than to seek for State ownership. A lively discussion followed the lecture. VOICE OF THE PRESS. EDUCATION FOR FRUIT-GROWERS. From the San Francisco Bulletin. An address was delivered yesterday to the farmers of Santa Cruz county, at Camp Rosache, by Professor Woodworth of Berkeley, on the subject of pests. Mr. Woodworth is the entomologist of the State University, and what he does not know about bugs is not worth knowing. He is telling the farmers all about the various insects which assail the vine and the fruit tree, whence they come, how their ravages can be arrested, and how, if at all, they can be exterminated. He will bring to bear on his subject the ripe science, and will explain himself in battleship order. BATTLESHIP ORDER BREAKS ADRIFT AND MAKE THROUGH MISSION BENEFIT NARROWLY ESCAPES DESTROY The battleship Oregon had a battle from destruction in San Francisco night last week. She was ready over to the Government, and order of events she should have to Mare Island and there turned naval headquarters. Owing to the big battle-ship draws twenty was decided not to make them naval headquaters, but in the Oregon lay moored in Mission Bay. Great weight swung with the sea cast adrift and went career bay. How she escaped destroys mystery, but all ship captains were her say that no disaster can occur such a perfect piece of marine. When Rear-Admiral Kirkland on behalf of the Secretary of War accept the vessel in the bay Mare Island the Scotts were at Accordingly tugs were called battle-ship was towed out of her Union Iron Works and moored rolling-mill. Extra precaution to make everything secure, and Scott remained on board until order to see that there was no looked. He had not left hour before she picked up her start for Mission Rock. Mission bay is crowded with deep-water ships, but through the Oregon threaded her way slept on. The British ship right in her course, and Mission covered that the battle ship was he at once sounded an alarm. Maneuvering the battle ship was and the Ellisland escaped. Sohooner Halyon, however, Oregon's anchor held she swung first of the flood tide, while vessel, being inshore, was held off the ebb. They came together to say, the battle ship was then ferried. The sohooner's long jib her and two of the boats were seized that they will have to be re-ascended as The Oregon swung within of Packard Rock the men sahore for assistance. It did not for Irving M. Scott, Henry S. Sperintendent Forsworth to get back They recognized at once the danger in which the vessel lay signaled for tuga. The Activities were on the scene inside of twennd and while Captain Brookaw had ship up to her anchor in order to be taken in Captain Marshall Gen. Johnson telegraphs via Key West as follows to his paper concerning the duel: Your Havana correspondent has unwillingly contributed to the gayety of the town for the last two days. For a week or two he has been getting abusive and anonymous letters by mail. One letter was signed "Manuel de Ampuditha, retired Captain of Infantry," and I laughingly declared the retired Captain must prove before he fight me: First, that he was a white man; second, that he has two clean shirts; and third, why he was "retired" from the army while his country was at war. Your war correspondent thought this settled the case. The clean shirt question was insurmountable, even if the "retired" one was not. Then appeared the "retired Captain" in the columns of "La Lucua," the official organ of the palace, in the character of "Dialist." To this publication your correspondent replied in an interview in "La Discussion" that he could not find the "retired Captain" after diligent search, but that if that person would send responsible people to him in the proper way he would receive a proper answer, provided always that he could show he was a respectable man. And so it stands. It was all a "bluff," and the hand has been called" and "laid down." Key West, July 11.—Senor Robden, president of the junta, and a couple of prominent Cubans, have had an interview with a number of Insurgent emissaries at Dry Harbor, but were not permitted to approach closer than 100 yards from those in quarantine. They carried on a conversation in Spanish with the messengers who brought reports of the recent battle in Puerto Principe. They spoke of the positions of the insurgents as excellent. The organization and discipline of the Cuban force left nothing to be desired and Havana was at their mercy, they said, but without a fleet they could not hold the city, and nothing would be gained by an assault upon it just yet. It was gathered that the Cuban general had decided upon a course of definite action with a view of forcing matters. The dispatches which the men brought are also understood to bespeak the assistance of the Cubans in Jamaica. Prado said also that the dispatches have reference to a coup de main that Gomez is preparing and which will strangle the world in a short time. HAVANA, July 10.—Having already killed Jose Macco in the east, the Spanish papers here this afternoon print a startling story from Pinar del Rio to the effect that Antonio Maceo, chief of the insurgents in the west, was killed in a recent encounter with Government troops operating beyond the troopa. La Union Constitutional says a merchant has just arrived from Pinar del Rio who vouches for the truth of the report. La Discussion's correspondent in Pinar del Rio says the inhabitants were considerably excited by the rumors that Macco's rebel forces were again on the marsh, proceeding toward the place by two different routes. The rumor was apparently started by peasants, who mistook one or more of Bernal's columns now in the field for insurgents. The Pinar del Rio authorities at once took immediate precautions to prevent surprise, and the Mayor issued a decree for bidding the citizens to appear on the streets at night. OLIVES AND THEIR TREATMENT. FIRST OF THE COURSE OF LECTURES TO BE DELIVERED BY THE PROFESSORS OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY. WRIGHTS (Santa Cruz Co.), July 10.—The lecture of Instructor Hayne of the State University at Camp Roache this morning was on the olive and its products. His first caution in handling the olive, either for oil or pickles, was to guard against mould. If he was buying olives and found fifty mouldy olives in a wagon load offered he would reject the whole lot. EDUCATION FOR FRUIT-GROWERS. From the San Francisco Bulletin. An address was delivered yesterday to the farmers of Santa Cruz county, at Camp Rosche, by Professor Woodworth of Borkley, on the subject of pests. Mr. Woodworth is the entomologist of the State University, and what he does not know about bugs is not worth knowing. He is telling the farmers all about the various insects which assail the vine and the fruit tree, whence they come, how their ravages can be arrested, and how, if at all, they can be exterminated. He will bring to bear on his subject the ripest science, and will explain himself in language suited to the rural intelligence. The course of lectures of which he delivers the first was inaugurated by the Board of Regents with the primary rule of instructing farmers and fruit growers in higher agriculture, horticulture and viticulture; but it may fairly be supposed that the step had the ulterior object of convincing the rural population of the utility of an institution which is often a target for ances among the ignorant. If a professor can show a vine grower how to raise a better crop of grapes, or a fruit grower how to defend his oranges and olives and peaches and apricots and prunes from the pests of the orchard the man of toil will learn to respect the man of books, and when the university goes to Sacramento to beg for an increased subsidy the representatives of the rural districts may reconcile it to their consciences to vote aye. The science which deals with the insects which prey upon the orchard and the vineyard is profound and intricate. Nothing is easier than to spray a tree so as to destroy the posts which oliging to the branches and leaves. But it requires knowledge and skill to conduct the operation so as to leave the fruit uninjured, and the tree's capacity to bear unimpaired. Fruit growers often encourage the growth of birds which eat the insects, but most birds will eat fruit as well. In parts of this State the common sparrow, which was introduced for the purpose of consuming the insects that preyed upon the cherry, has taken to eating the fruit so ravenously that whole cherry orchards have ceased to be productive. The ordinary bird is most gluttonous creature alive. No kind of fruit will thrive unless it is cultivated intelligently, according to the laws of science. Where the trees are neglected they will either cease to bear or will yield poor fruit. In this State many of our fruit industries are on the verge of this consumption. And, again, other fruits have never been brought to perfection in this State for want of intelligent nursing. With the exception of one or two growers at Santa Barbara, no California has got as much out of the olive as foreigners have. The tree will grow everywhere; no soil is too barren for it. Its berry almost suffices for the sustenance of man, but we make little of it. So with the lemon. Our southern counties are idly suited for the growth of this delicious fruit, but we have never grown a lemon that is killer name. Our grocers import Sicily lemons to sell at two bits a dozen, while native fruit is hawked round in wagons at 5 cents a dozen. MONS, DIHORT COMES UP FROM SAN PEDRO TO HELP US CELEBRATE.

WRIGHTS (Santa Cruz Co.), July 10.—The lecture of Instructor Hayne of the State University at Camp Roache this morning was on the olive and its products. His first caution in handling the olive, either for oil or pickles, was to guard against mould. If he was buying olives and found fifty mouldy olives in a wagon load offered he would reject the whole lot. Moulds come from spores which are always present in the air and cannot be terminated. The only way is to prevent their germination or to kill the plants which they form after germination. There are many thousand kinds of moulds. For their development they all require heat and moisture. These they always get when they are lodged in pickled olives packed in barrels or placed in deep piles. The reason all olives do not mould under such conditions is that although the spores germinate, their roots cannot penetrate the skin of a sound olive and they die. But they do not penetrate the bruised or broken olives and live and grow, and their product taints the whole mass. A bad taste thus communicated to olive oil can never be removed. In the manufacture of oil, absolute cleanliness must be maintained in regard to all implements used, amounting to absolute sterilization of all surfaces coming in contact with the olives or their product. In the afternoon Professor Ross discussed the practical methods by which it is in the power of the public to control railroad corporations and assure good service to the public with proper compensation to the companies. He first described the Massachusetts plan of a railroad commission with power only to investigate and recommend. In his opinion while that plan worked and still works well in Massachusetts it was not suited to the Western States, the reason being that in Massachusetts the stockholders who own the roads are part of the people to be served, living in their midst and amenable to public opinion, while the Western railroads are owned and often managed by non-residents. In the Western States, therefore, strong commissions have been found necessary with full power. The peculiar situation in California was described. He said that under the law as now existing and interpreted by the Supreme Court, the commission may fix rates but must not make them so low that they will pay no interest on the investment. Under this ruling the railroad shows the record of stock and bonds outstanding and claims the right to earn interest on their face. The people, on the other hand, claim that the face of these securities does not represent the actual money put into the roads. This is the question in dispute between the companies and the public and its treatment HELP US CELEBRATE. From the San Pedro American.

He discovered the laws and determined the orbits of most of the planet. Gallileo was the leader in modern astronomical science. The most noted didactic and instructive poet was Lucretius. He is believed to be the most profound of all the Roman poets, and his philosophical poems are models to the present day. The deepest basso was La Blache. He was of prodigious size, and his voice was so strong that on more than one occasion it cracked the window panes in the room where he was practicing. The greatest comic dramatist who ever lived was Aristophanes. His humor had its foundation deep in the principles of human action, and therefore is as intelligible to-day as when first written. The clearest violinist was Paganini. He seemingly accomplished the impossible with the violin, could inspire any emotion he desired in his auditor and was able to play intricate melodies on a single string. The most famous religious letter writer was St. Francis of Assisi, whose letters are believed by Roman Catholic historians to have given a new power to that denomination at a critical period in its history. Michael Angelo was the greatest architect of his own or any other age. His monument is St. Peter's, at Rome, but besides his architectural genius he was a great painter and a sculptor of the first rank. The greatest conquering prophet was Mohammed, whose religion within three generations spread over a large part of Asia, Africa and Europe, and now forms the faith of perhaps 300,000,000 of the human race. Praxiteles was the earliest and among the best of the Greek sculptors to express in stone the ideal grace of the human form. Such of his works as have been preserved are models to the sculptor of every age and country. Mozart was the greatest writer of opera and the founder of the modern school. He was in most respects the greatest musical genius who ever lived. At the age of 5 he wrote compositions of much beauty, and died at 36, leaving over 800 finished compositions. For Sale or Rent.

San Francisco, Cal BATTLESHIP OREGON BREAKS ADRIFT AND MAKES HER WAY THROUGH MISSION BAY FLEET. NARROWLY ESCAPES DESTRUCTION. The battleship Oregon had a narrow escape from destruction in San Francisco bay one night last week. She was ready to be turned over to the Government, and in the usual order of events she should have been taken to Mare Island and there turned over to the naval authorities. Owing to the fact that the big battle-ship draws twenty-four feet it was decided not to make the transfer at naval headquarters, but in the bay. The Oregon lay moored in Mission bay, but her great weight swung with the tide and she was cast adrift and went careering down the bay. How she escaped destruction is a mystery, but all ship captains who have seen her say that no disaster can ever come to such a perfect piece of marine architecture. When Rear-Admiral Kirkland had decided on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy, to accept the vessel in the bay instead of at Mare Island the Scotts were at once notified. Accordingly tugs were called in and the battle-ship was towed out of her dock at the Union Iron Works and moored near the rolling-mills. Extra precautions were taken to make everything secure, and Henry S. Scott remained on board until midnight in order to see that there was no detail overlooked. He had not left the warship an hour before she picked up her moorings and started for Mission Rock. Mission bay is crowded with schooners and deep-water ships, but through them all the Oregon threaded her way and the crew slept on. The British ship Ellisland was right in her course, and Mission Rock loomed up right ahead. The lookout then discovered that the battle-ship was adrift, and he at once sounded an alarm. By skillful maneuvering the battle ship was sheered off and the Ellisland escaped. Not so the schooner Haleyon, however. After the Oregon’s anchor held she swung around with the first of the flood tide, while the sailing vessel, being inshore, was held by the last of the ebb. They came together, but strange to say, the battle ship was the one that suffered. The schooner’s long jibboom raked her and two of the boats were so badly damaged that they will have to be replaced. As the Oregon swung within 150 feet of Packard Rock the men at once sent ashore for assistance. It did not take long for Irving M. Scott, Henry S. Scott and Superintendent Forayt to get back aboard. They recognized at once the dangerous position in which the vessel lay and at once signaled for tugs. The Active and Alert were on the scene inside of twenty minutes, and while Captain Brookaw held the warship up to her anchor in order to allow its being taken in Captain Marshall in the Ac- What is CASTORIA A PRACTICALLY PERFECT PREPARATION FOR CHILDREN'S COMPLAINTS.

TACOMA, Wash., July 11: Mayor Fawcett, City Electrician Bachelet and a squad of policemen at 3 o'clock this morning went to the residence part of the city and began cutting the electric light wires of the Commercial Electric Company from the city pole, on which they were strung. When the city acquired the light plant three years ago sixty days' notice was required before the wires could be molested; but Mayor Fawcett claims a notice given in March, 1895, was sufficient, though not then enforced. The cutting of the wires was continued to day until the Commercial Company's service in the residence section was destroyed. The Commercial Company secured from Judge Pritchard this afternoon an order restraining the city from further destruction and from interfering with the company's replacing the wires thrown down. This order is returnable Monday morning. The company then started to put up wires, but late in the afternoon it was stopped by an order issued by Judge Stalloup restraining the company from stringing wires on poles owned by the city. The company's officers are dodging the service of this injunction until after midnight, and apparently intend to take advantage of Sunday by putting up the wires when legal service cannot be had. The workmen hid themselves, in order that the injunction might not be served upon them. This fight is the outcome of heated competition between the city plant and the Commercial Company for lighting contracts. The latter franchise was procured shortly before the city acquired the Tacoma Light and Water Company's plant, and is now operated by men who were largely interested in the old water company. This afternoon the city has secured many new customers, the patrons of the Commercial being left in darkness. IRRIGATING BEETS. In several centres of the United States satisfactory results have been obtained by irrigating beet lands. We have not seen any official account of the results obtained. Respecting this matter our readers must understand that the supply of well or river water in moderation to beet fields may lead to satisfactory results in cases where there has been a prolonged drought or on soils of nearly rainless centres. On the other hand, lands submitted to the annual overflow of rivers are not desirable for beet cultivation; the nitric elements deposited under these circumstances would be absorbed by the roots and would prevent a considerable amount of sugar from crystallizing, and thus offer difficulties in the processes of sugar extraction almost impossible to overcome. Upon general principles it must not be overlooked that the artificial supply of moisture to soils during the early stages of the beet development would act in a measure just as do early rains, and must be looked forward to in all centres where beets are growing. On the A SHORT TALK ON MEDICINE OF GREAT INTEREST TO WOMEN. Pale Cheeks and Nerveless Hands are no Longer Admired. To be Strictly Correct you must have Rosy Cheeks and Good Health. Men Admire Wholesome-looking Women, and now Seek their Wives from that Class. A FEW POINTERS FOR THE GIRL OF THE PERIOD. Pure blood is the secret of health and beauty. The features may be regular, the form perfect, but no woman can be beautiful in the full sense of the word while suffering from any of the peculiar ailments of her sex. Disease destroys the complexion, is productive of wrinkles and premature old age. Regular monthly uterine action is necessary so every woman's health, and if this function of life is checked, disease, a pale and allow complexion, and a feeling of exhaustion, are the result. The monthly secretion must continue from puberty to the turn of life without unnatural obstruction. Any breach of this law of Nature will result in the distressing symptoms which make the lives of seven-tenths of the women of this country miserable, almost unbearable. A few of these symptoms are severe headache, loss of appetite, pale or swallow complexion, palpitation of the heart, swollen ankles or legs, nervousness, offensive breath, etc., etc. The sufferer may exhibit one or more of these symptoms, or may have all. They simply indicate the ravages disease has made upon the system, and the more of the symptoms the patient shows the greater the necessity for prompt and persistent treatment, until they have been banished and the bloom of health is restored. To accomplish this end Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the only unfailing remedy. They positively cure all suppressions and irregularities, which, if neglected, inevitably entail sickness and trouble. By taking these pills for a week or ten days before the expected return of each period, the prompt appearance of "the visitor" is insured. For suppressions, the pill must be taken steadily until the re-appearance takes place—generally in a month's time, sometimes less. Follow the directions on the pamphlet about each box. Nursing women will find their milk improved in quality and quantity by taking these pills, and also obtain relief from pain in the back and general dragged-out feeling. All displacements from weakness of the uterine ligaments are speedily relieved and ultimately cured by the use of these pills. Lencorrhoa, bearing down, weight in the pelvis, and all female weakness, find speedily complains of weakness, is "tired out" upon the slightest exertion; if she is troubled with headache or backache, pain in the side; if her temper is fitful and her appetite poor, she is in a condition of extreme peril, a fit subject for the development of that most dreadful of all diseases—consumption. If you notice any of these symptoms lose no time in procuring Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They will assist the patient to develop properly and regularly; they will enrich the blood and restore health's roses to the cheeks, bright eyes and a lightness of step will surely follow their use, and all danger of consumption and premature death will be averted. Wise and prudent mothers will insist upon their daughters taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills upon the approach of the period of puberty, and thus avoid all chances of disease and early decay. A Thankful Girl. From the Examiner, San Francisco, Cal. Miss Lottie Donell lives with her parents at 702 Natoma Street, San Francisco. She is a young lady nineteen years of age, and of prepossessing appearance. Ever since she was ten years old Miss Donell has been a sufferer from a rheumatic affection of the wrist, and since she was thirteen years of age she has been subject to various female weaknesses which have kept her physical vitality at a very low stage. Thus, as she says, she has been a victim of disease ever since she can remember. When she was a little girl at school she was always placed at a disadvantage with her playmates on account of her frailty of body and timidity of manner. She could never join in any of the more boisterous games, although she always longed to do so. But the embarrassing conditions of Miss Donell's life have all been eliminated within the past year, and the change is wholly due to the effective work of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "It must be remembered," said Miss Donell in telling of great relief that Dr. Williams' Pills had afforded her, "that at time I began taking the pills I had been..." stand that the supply of well or river water in moderation to beet fields may lead to satisfactory results in cases where there has been a prolonged drought or on soils of nearly rainless centres. On the other hand, lands submitted to the annual overflow of rivers are not desirable for best cultivation; the nitric elements deposited under these circumstances would be absorbed by the roots and would prevent a considerable amount of sugar from oralizing, and thus offer difficulties in the processes of sugar extraction almost impossible to overcome. Upon general principles it must not be overlooked that the artificial supply of moisture to soils during the early stages of the beet development would act in a measure just as do early rains, and must be looked forward to in all centres where beets are growing. On the other hand, irrigate lands a month before harvesting, would tend to create a second growth, followed by considerable increase in yield to the acre, with a corresponding decrease in the sugar percentage; so what farmers would gain on the one hand they would lose on the other, unless their furious their roots to factories which are working at loss and accept beets at a given rate per ton regardless of quality.—[The Sugar Beet.

The most critical period in the life of a woman is that attending the cessation of mannication, or, as it is most generally termed, the change or turn of life. The symptoms attending this period are fainting spells or attacks of faintness or dizziness headache, general deafness, exhaustion, a feeling of melancholy, hysteria, pain in the joins or limbs, hypochondria, etc. The change is a gradual one—for better or worse—for the former if the patient is wise enough to fortify the system against the ravages of the symptoms attending the change. For this purpose no remedy ever discovered equals Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They purify the blood by acting directly upon the sexual system, lessen the severity of this critical period, and finally leave the patient in the enjoyment of robust health.
