"Nearly all my life I have had one cold after another and the trouble seemed like catarrh in the head. There were dis charges from my ears, and my hearing became affected. I took a number of kinds of medicine but I grew worse in stead of better. One day I procured a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla and began taking it, and soon found it was doing me good. I gained strength and was greatly benefited in many ways. I con tinued its use and now the bad feeling in my head is cone, and the earache with which I suffered has disappeared.

The Times claims that the Solicitor did not make his investigation soon enough and according to law, therefore he should not have been paid one cent for it. Crows at Work. Farmers say that crows are playing havpc with their watermelon ci'op. It is sometimes the case that they peck them, but not much harm has' been done.

Ponce, Aug. 2, via St. Tkomas, Aug. 4. General Stone, while rec onnoitering northwards along the road to Arecibe, with a company of the Second Wisconsin, encountered opposition at Utuado, where a small force of Spanish had been instructed by Maceo to fight to the bitter end. The Spanish- refused to surrender, whereupon Stone telephoned to Ad juntas that he would push on, aided by a force of natives armed with ma chetes. A Spanish force is reported to be between Stone and Adjuntas and will be on his trail between Ad juntas and Utuado, in the heart of the mountains. As the troops can only move in single file, ten men could stop a regiment. SPANIARDS ADJi-NCING. Ponce, Aug. 3, via St. Thomas, Aug. 4. The Spanish are reported advancing with a strong force pre paratory to blocking the road. The Spanish commander, San Martin, who evacuated Ponce without orders, is a prisoner at San Juan and will be tried for cowardice and will probably be executed. AMERICANS CLOSING IN. Strong American forces from the North front and rear are closing in upon Abonite, where five thousand Spaniards are strongly entrenched and hold the road to San Juan. The decisive battle of the Porto Rican campaign will be fought there within a few days. Flanking the Spanish army was ac complished by General Brooke, who landed five thousand troops at Guay ama, East Ponce, proceeding by the military road to a position in the rear of Abonite. The chief attacking army is now twenty -two miles from Abonite. It has steadily advanced over the main road. The retreat of the Spanish seems entirely cut off. STONE'S DARING EXPEDITION. The expedition under Stone made a daring penetration into the interior last night with a small force. The Spanish, force, numbering over four hundred, retreated in great haste. Stone was received enthusiastically along the route. REINFORCEMENTS ARRIVE. In the harbor of Ponce are the Third Illinois, First Ohio, Fourth Pennsyl vania, Fifth and Nineteenth regulars and Thirty-second Michigan. , There are constant alarms at the outposts, but no real fighting yet. EX-SENATOR JARVIS TALKS. He Says There is a Ground Swell To ward Democracy. Ex-Senator Thomas J. Jarvis ar rived in the city last week Tuesday night from Raleigh. He went to Mad ison next morning, where he spoke that day. v A Sentinel reporter interviewed the Democratic war-horse during his stay here. He said the white folks are getting together in the Eastern part of the State. The Populists are corn in" home. There is a great change going on daily and he thinks it will continue until the election in Novem ber "There is every reason to hope and believe that the State will go Democratic this Fall," added the Sen- atSenator Jarvis has been in Robeeon county. He spoke at Homellsville, the township that held the Democratic banner before the unfortunate divis ions that came into the party in 1892. Then very many of the best Democrat ic workers, thinking tney coum uewi their condition, went into the Populist party.

Insurgent Leader Replies to Charge That He Has the Big Head Says Americans Will Not Tell Him What He Is Fighting For. HONG KONG, Aug. 5. The follow ing communication has been received from the insurgent leader by U. S. Consul Wildman, at Cavite: "I have read in the newspapers that I am getting the big head and am not behaving as promised. In reply, I asK why should the Americans expect me to outline a policy for the present or luture and light blindly for her in terest when America will not be frank with me and tell me whether I am fighting for annexation, protection or independence, it is for America to say, not me. I can take Manila as I have defeated the Spanish elsewhere, but what will be the use if America takes Manila. I can save my men and arms for what the future has in store. Now, good friend, believe me, I am not both fool and rogue. The inter ests of my people are as sacred to me as the interests of your people are to you. ( Signed. ) Agcin aldo. ' ' ANOTHER ROW AT MARIETVBAD. Prof. Lomady Struck With a Beer Class by Thomas Reed. The dance given out at Marienbad Springs last week Wednesday night for "de white folks" resulted in a se rious row as did the negro ball on Monday night. Prof. Lomady came to The Senti nel office next morning and told how it happened. He says that a number of white people came out and were engaged in a pleasant hop at the pavilion when Thomas Reed and two of his friends went in and raised a racket. This put a stop to the dance. Prof. Lomady was sent for to quiet the disturbance. When he arrived and notified the parties that they must not interfere with the dance, a fracas occurred. Lomady says he then re turned to his refreshment stand, think ing the affair was at an end. Tom Reed and two or three of his com panions came up and as Lomady reached down to get some beer from a tub, Tom Reed sent a beer glass against the right side of the Professor's head, cutting a gash in the ear and one in the neck. A lively skirmish then fol lowed for a few minutes. Prof. Lom ady says he struck Reed, knocking his head against an ice box, inflicting a painful wound. It appears that he also cleaned up Reed's partners. The Professor sent for a physician who went out and sewed up the gashes on his ear and neck. Prof. Lomady tells The Sentinel that he will have no more dances at Marienbad. He is sufficiently amused. He went to Greensboro this morning to look after some business. It was expected that when Prof. Lomady secured license to sell beer at the Springs he would have trouble. THE GRAND ENCAMPMENT. This Order of Odd Fellows In Session at Raleigh.
