Washington, June 3.—A brief bulletin telling of Commodore Sc'iley’s reconuoisauceat Santiago on Tuesday was all the informa tion the navy department had to contribute to the press to-day. This bulletin went to confirm the press dispatches of the firing on the fortifications at Santiago, but which have been so steadily dis credited ever since the first report. The great natural strength of tne Spanish position and the formidable character of their bat teries, as indicated by Commodore Schley, have confirmed the naval officials in the belief that they have been wise not to direct any such reckless assault upon the place in the absence of proper forces as has been advocated in some quarters. The problem would be simp ified were it known that there wen no mines in the channel. As it is, the problem presented has enlisted the active interest of the army engineers as well as the navul officers here. It is the duty of the army engineers country to lay just such as are supposed to be in in Santiago harbor, and they > curious to see how their broth- in the navy propose to go about work of destroying them. The mers of the Holland submarine >at, who had proposed to go into mtiago harbor and destroy the Spanish warships at so much a vessel, have come forward with a request for a practical test by the naval officers of their craft. Notwithstanding the rather posi tive statementcoming from Jamai ca to the effect that the 2nd Span* ish fleet from Cadiz has crossed the Atlantic and is about to join Cervera to-day at Santiago, the officers of the navy dept rtment re fused to be frightened at what they declare to be a bugaboo. It appears that the basis of their con fidence is a telegraphic report, of as late date as yesterday, declar ing that the Cadiz fleet is still at Cadiz Moreover they know that there are not so many as sixteen warships in that fleet.

It is Reported that the United States Government has Assumed Control of all Telegraphic Wires Over Which the War News is Transmitted; There is No Confirma tion of This, but it would Appear to be a Fact as the Daily Times Has Received Nothing. PKAUK SENTIMENT IN SPAIN. Madrid, June 3.—Except among jingo papers like the Imparcial, a sentiment in favor of peace is growing. The correspondent of the Asso ciated Press has sounded several politicians and financiers on the subject, and finds unanimity as to the desirability of a prompt and honorable peace. The pluck of Admiral Cevera’s fleet against odds and the failure of the Americans in their attempts to land m Cuba and Porto Rico are regarded as balancing the Cavite disaster, while evidence of the lack of sym pathy for America on the part of the natives of Spanish colonies, as the Spaniards argue here, should conviuce the United States that the motives for going to war are completely changed. These are the arguments here in Madrid and fostered by recent ar ticles in the Temps of Paris, which the Epoca welcomes and endorses, believisg them sincere. Similar sentiments have appeared in the Paris edition of the New York Herald. The Epoca says: “A nation grand and powerful like the Uni ted States loses nothing by recti fying an eiror. We go further, confessing that the same inclina tion in favor of peace is predomi nant in Spain. We are equally convinced that the war has no foundation beyond a defence of outraged dignity.” Military men, however, raise no voice for peace. They are con vinced that the Spanish position at Santiago de Cuba is strong enough to repel the Americans both by land and sea. Ice! Ice! Ice!

My skin was almost yellow, even sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite—gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. For- Innately, a friend advised trying “Electric Bitters;” and to my gveat joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improve ment. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim,” No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cents per bottle at T. D.

TO CRUSH THE ENEMY. Washiugtou, June 3.—The cabi net meeting to-day was largely de voted to the discussion of present and prospective army and navy movements which cannot be made public. A report had been re ceived from Commodore Schley which was read by Secretary Long, giving in a general way an account of his recent engagement at San tiago. There seems to be no doubt that it is the purpose of the govern ment to push forward with the greatest possible expedition the military and uaval movements against Santiago and Porto Rico, and for the purpose of making the result of both expeditions abso lutely certain large millit&ry forces will be dispatched to both points to co-operate with the navy and the insurgents- The purpose is to make them overwhelming in strength and numbers anooT termination. IMnThls in Your Hi The Ladies’ Aid Society of the Presbyterian chnrch will have their proposed bicycle carnival at the new tobacco warehouse upon its completion, which will be early in July- A new and popular en tertainment with features never before presented in our city. He Cheerful. How different it is when one is habitually cheerful! Wherever such a person goes he carries glad ness- He makes it easier for others to live. He pats en couragement into the heart of every one he meets. When you ask after his health he answers you in a happy, cheerful way that quickens your own pulses. He uoes not burden you with a list of complaints. He does not consider it necessary to tell yon at break- ast how poorly he rested, how many times he heard the clock strike during the night, or any of the details of his miserable condi- ,ion this morning. He prefers only to speak of cheerful things, not staining the brightness of the morning for you with the recital of any of his own discomforts.—J. R. Miller.
