The manufacturers of Castoria have been
compelled to spend hundreds of thousands of
dollars to familiarize the public with the sig-
nature of Chas H. Fletcher. This has been
necessitated by reason of pirates counterfeit-
ing the Castoria trade mark. This counter-
feiting is a crime not only against the proprie-
tors of Castoria, but against the growing
generation. All persons should be careful to
see that Castoria bears the signature of Chas.
H. Fletcher, if they would guard the health of
their children. Parents and mothers, in par-
ticular, ought to carefully examine the
Castoria advertisements which have been ap-
pearing in this paper, and to remember that
the wrapper of every bottle of genuine Castoria
bears the fac-simfle signature of Chas. H.
Fletcher, under whose supervision it has been
manufactured continuously for over thirty

remedy in Dr. Ayer’s Hair Vigor.
«For years, I was troubled with dandruff, large flakes
scaling and falling off, causing great annoyance. Sometimes ;
the itching of the scalp was almost unendurable. Prescrip-
tions from eminent physicians, put up in my own drug store
were tried, but failed to afford relief. At length I used Dr.
Ayer’s Hair Vigor, and in one week I found it helped me.
At the end of only two weeks, my head was entirely
free from dandruff, and as clean as a child’s. I heartily

dyspepsia. For two years I suffered and
doctored for the aggravating trouble but
could only be helped temporarily.
“I think dyspepsia is one of the most
stubborn of ailments, and there is scarcely
a clerk or office man but what is more or |
less a victim. Some days I could eat any-
thing, while at other times I would be
starving. Those distressed pains would
force me to quit work.

ly. but it did not affect my case. I have
tried many advertised remedies but they
would help only for a time. A friend of
mine recommended Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for Pale People, but I did not think
much of them.
“I finally was induced to try the pills and
commenced using them. After taking a few
doses I found much relief. I do not remem-
ber how many boxes of the pills I used, buv
I used them until the old trouble stopped.

Fight Off Manzanillo.
New York, July 4.—A special from
Playa del Este says that the Hyatt
the Hornet and the Wampatuck of
Sampson’s fleet sunk one Spanish gun-
boat, one sloop and pontoon, disabled
a torpedo boat, damaged several gun
boats and forced a troop ship to shore
at Manzanillo. The Hyatt was struck
eleven times and the Hornet disabled.
The vessels were sent to destroy four I
gunboats, but found nine vessels, in-
cluding a cruiser and torpedo boat.
They also found themselves flanked by
land batteries and armed pontoons,
while a heavy batery of field artillery
was on the water front and the shore
was lined with soldiers, who kept up
a fierce fusillade. The little vessels
began the attack and a two hours’ en-
gagement followed. The steampipe of
the Hornet was smashed.
The Hyatt also ran into Aguira bay
and sunk a gunboat in ten minutes.
The Spanish gunners rallied with
surprising acuracy, sweeping the brow
of the hill on which our artillery was
posted, forming the left of Gen. Sum-
ner’s division. The artillery duel be-
came active, and after we had got the
range our shells proved very effective.
A majority of the Spanish shells fell
back of the hill among the infantry
posted there. The casualties at this
point were between thirty or forty kill-
ed or wounded.
The total casualties Friday were
about 800 Americans killed and wound-
ed. The Spanish loss was great, 150
bodies being found in one short en-
trenchment. During the lull Friday
the twenty-first infantry sang the "Star
Spangled Banner.”
The entire American reserves have
been ordered to the front.
Off Aguadores Friday Sampson’s fleet
were stationed. The place is three
miles east of Morro castle.
At 10:15 active operations began by
the New York blazing away at the rifle
pits of the old fort. The Suwanee and
Gloucester joined in. An eight-inch
shell from the Newark dropped in the
massive fort and huge stones filled the
air. A shot from the Suwanee hit the
eastern parapet and down came the
Spanish flag, Lieut. Blue fired the shot.
The Americans gave a deafening yell
when the flag fell.
The New York then threw eight-inch
shells into Santiago. The Oregon did
likewise. At 2:40 the firing ceased.

AMERICAN WILD DUCKS, AMERICAN PHEASANT,
Admiral Cervera made a last charac-
teristic and picturesque dash. Early
yesterday morning four warships ly-
ing in the harbor made steam and
headed for the mouth; three were run
hard on the beach at the entrance and
were fired by the crews.
The magazines exploded, making to-
tal wrecks of them. A warship, sup-
posed to be the Vizcaya, with Cervera
aboard, passed the Merrimac wreck
and reached the open sea.
The dispatch containing the forego-
ing information was received from
Col. Allen at Playa del Este early yes-'
terday morning, prior to the reports
from Shafter, with his demand for the
surrender of the city. Col. Allen’s dis-
patch was meagre.
From the heat and carnage of the
battlefield of Santiago, where for the
last three days the American forces
have pressed forward against an en-
trenched enemy, Gen. Shafter yester-
day sent the following dispatch sum-
marizing the situation:
Playa del Este, July 3.—To Secre-
tary of War, Washington: Camp near
Sevilla, Cuba, July 3.—We have the
town well invested on the north and
east, but with a very thin line. Upon
approaching it we find it of such a
character and the defenses so strong
it will be impossible to carry it by
storm with my present force.
Our losses up to date will aggregate
a thousand, but list has not yet been
made. But little sickness outside of
exhaustion from intense heat and ex-
ertions of the battle of the day before
yesterday and the almost constant fire
which is kept up on the trenches.
Wagon road to the rear is kept up
with some difficulty, on account of
rains, but I will be able to use it for
the present.
Gen. Wheeler is seriously ill.
Gen. Young's also very ill, confined
to his bed.
Gen. Hawkins slightly wounded in
foot during sortie enemy made last
night, which was handsomely re-
pulsed.
The behavior of the troops was mag-
nificent. Gen. Garcia reported he
holds the railroad from Santiago to
San Luis, and has burned a bridge
and removed some rails also; . that
Gen. Pando has arrived at Palma, and

Twenty thousand reinforcements for
Gen. Shafter at Santiago have been or-
dered to move to the coast from
Chickamauga at once.
Gen. Linares, the Spanish command-
er at Santiago, was desperately
wounded and forced to retire.
American loss in Friday’s fight near
Santiago is placed at 1000, with 15 per
cent of fatalities, while the Spanish
loss is estimated at 2000. Saturday’s
losses were much smaller.
Gen. Shafter wires the war depart-
ment that he has not sufficient troops
for the final taking of Santiago and
that he would occupy the highlands at
Siboney and await reinforcements.

First and Second Day’s Battle.
Washington, July 4.—The Spaniards
at Santiago resisted stubbornly Satur-
day, and the Americans fought resper-
ately. A telegram was received that a
terrible battle raged all day and the
losses exceeded all expectation, Judg-
ing from the number of wounded sent
to the rear. It was decided that rein-
forcements should be hurried to San-
tiago.
Strategically the Spaniards have had
every advantage. They are on an em-
inence and backed by Cervera’s fleet.
Gen. Shafter says we took 2000 pris-
oners Friday, cautured Caney and the
crest of the plateau there.
Our formation in line Friday was
as follows: Gen. Lawton’s division on
the right to operate against Caney,
Gen. Kent to his left and Gen. Wheel-
er’s division under Gen. Sumner to the
left of the line. Operations began by
the fleet off Aguadores discharging
guns at 6 o’clock, folowed in fifteen
minutes by troops of general artillery
to the east of Caney. Then the sec-
ond artillery fired.
Sas,cago. Yesterday, after being bot-
tled helpless in the harbor for weeks,
the fleet was destroyed. Nothing now
remains of the Spanish squadron but
shattered and burning hulks.
In addition to the splendid work ac-
complished by Admiral Sampson, Gen.
Shafter, in command of the land
forces before Santiago, had so far pro-
gressed in the carrying out of his
plans for the rsduction of the city that
at 10:30 yesterday morning he de-
manded the immediate surrender of
the Spanish forces. At 4:30 yesterday
afternoon Gen. Shafter’s demand had
not been complied with, so far as offi-
cials here were able to ascertain.
Shortly after 12 o’clock this morning
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Al-
len left the white house hastily, and
going directly to the department,
posted the following upon the depart-
ment bulletin board:

Gen. Shafter telegraphs from Playa

Early this morning I sent a demand
for the immediate surrender of San-

city. I believe the place will be sur-

This contradicts the report that Gen.
Shafter has fallen back.
