WASHINGTON , March 11. Secretary
Mger lifts authorized General Ftagler , tbo

fire guna for seacoast defense. Thla ac
tion Is taken without waiting for the ullot-
nent among the various bureaus of the War
and Navy departments of the $50,000,000

ary felt that there was no reason for further
delaying the necessary stepa for the procure-
nent of these guns , as It wus felt there would
jo no trouble In arriving at an equitable ad-
ustmcnt of the money available. Ever
slnco the battleship Maine was wrecked In

already finished and making arrangements
'or a supply of additional ones as la felt
necessary. The Ordnance bureau will take
all these rapid-fire guns that can be pro
cured within a reasonable time and they will
jo shipped to the seacoast fortifications as
rapidly as possible. They constitute what
Is known as the auxiliary defense for the
fortifications and are a material assistance
to the big guns , which necessarily are slow
sf movement and firing. They will bo of
Invaluable asslsUnco In keeping an enemy
from the vicinity of submarine mines and
other obscured works of defense by main
taining a constant fire over such place ? .
ContiacU for the delivery of the carriages

authorized and they will be shipped to the
fortifications as soon as completed. The
carriages eon lie made nnd delivered much
quicker than the guns , so that expedition In

officials of the ordnance bure-au are urging.
Quite a number of establishments through

Fort McHenry In Daltlrac < io harbor will be

repreecntatloha that have been made to the

Ofllcers of the navy comment on the fact
that the ammunition must be brought to tbe

WASHINGT&Olarch U. Hoping for the
best and prepared' for the worst about represents -
resents the situation in the War and Navy
departments these days. The officials still
profess confidents that thcro U ta bo a peace
ful outcome of thp present threatening diffi
culties , but meanwfelle prepare with serenity
to meet their duty If events should ehupc
themsclvei otherwise.
Tbo mo.it Important and significant devel
opments of the day wcro the decision of the
house naval committee to place In the naval
appropriation bill a provision for three new
battleships , and a conclusion on the part of
the secretary of war to Issue tomorrow mornIng -
Ing on order creating a now military de
partment. Including within Its confines that
part of the country which would bo In all
likelihood nearest the field of hostilities In
case It should come to that.
The order will create a commotion In the
south. The present Department of Toxin Is
abolished , and tho.headquarters which have
'been ' at San Antonio , Tex. , for so many
jcara , are abandoned. In place of the old
department la created a now one , the De
partment of the South.
General Graham , at present commander
of the Department of Texas , will command
the new department. This department will
Include the states of South Carolina , Geor
gia , Florida , Alabama , Mississippi , Louis
iana and Texas. All of theeo states save the
last are at present attached to the Depart
ment of the East under command of Gen
eral Mcrrltt of New York.
H Is said at the department that General
Merrltt Is fully compensated for the strength
of the command ivvhlch passes away from
him by the addition to hU forces of the two
regiments of artillery now recruiting.
Headquarters of the new department of the
south will be at Atlanta , Ga. , chosen be
cause of Its flno strategical value and from Its
excellent railroad connection. At present
tbe government has no accommodations at
Atlanta for the headquarters of the depart
ment , so It will be obliged to hire the most
available buildings
General Wilson , chief of engineers , who
has been In riorlda , Is expected back to
morrow to report to Secretary Algor upon
the progress of the fortification works In
that section of the country , and probably
especially as to the defense of Tortugas.
For the first tlmo today the ofliclals of
the War department admitted that they
were straining every nerve to Improve tint
art of the defenses of the countiy confined
o their care.
H Is without question the most umnual
mark of confidence In an executive officer to
empower him to glvo orders without limiter
or the purchase of war material , set this
s what the president and Secretary Algcr
lave done In the case of General Hauler ,
chief of ordnance. And the officer has not
shown any disposition to shirk this large
eiponslbllltj. but has Instructed every con
cern capable of supplj Ing war material ,
such as rapid fire guns , shot , shell and am-
nunttlon , to go to work at full capacity.
The Navy department has now reason to
) olteve that It has aacured the tv o war ships
Xmazcnas and it * sister ship now building
ing In Cnglaml-for Brazil. It was stated at

Tbo statement waa persistently circulated
this afternoon , and in some cases the .report
came from thcso whoso sources of informa
tion should bo reliable , that the administra
tion was In possession of Intimations or in
formation that the result of the Investigation
of tbo court of Inquiry as to the cause of the
Maine disaster would show that the explosion
which destroyed the battleship came from
some external agency. A cabinet officer was
even quoted as making this announcement ,
and another report bad It that the steno
graphic notes of the Inquiry wcro before
Secretary Long.
When the matter was brought to the atten
tion of Secretary Long ho pronounced the
statements as false In every particular.
"There Is not a word of truth In them.1
He said : "No word has been received by the
president or any one else as to what tlio
board of Inquiry will determine. The rumor
was floating about all afternoon , but it Is
utterly without Information. "

LONDON , March 11. The Statist today
discusses the financial side of a possible
Spanish-American . After pointing out
tie expense of hurriedly creating an Amor-
lean army and strengthening the navy It
agrees that the United States would even
tually obtain command of the sea , adding :
"Then if Spain submitted the expenditure
would rapidly decrease , and the war might
not cost very much "
Continuing thiTStatlst sa > s : "nut If Spain
prolonged the contest the United States
would find Itself In an embarrassing posi
tion. The creation of a largo army to drive
Spain out of Cuba would mean a very con
siderable expense , and when accomplished
what would the United States do with Cuba ?
Lastly , If Spain then refused to submll
would America.jUor capturing the Spanish
West Indies , extend the war to Europe ? The
collapse of Spanish credit might force It to
peace , but If Spain simply defaulted Its debt
and devoted the money It could raise In any
way to protracting tbo struggle the cost to
the United States certainly would be very
great. "
Speaking of , QIr. Cannon's comparison of
the condition of Iho United States treasury
with those of 'otncr countries the Statist
sa > n :
"He forpot that . .Russia , a poorer country
than the United flutes , has over 131,000,000
In gold devotabfu to-war purposes. The large
surplus In tbo IJnUcd States treasury Is duo
to Mr. Cleveland's'gold loans and the sale
of the Union Pacific railroad. Subtracting
the gold reserve against the greenbacks only
J23.000.000 Is available. Therefore , In view
of the considerable annual deficit It seems
incredible that.lhcsecretary of the treasury
will draw considerably on his cash balance
without fresh taxation. "

his satisfaction at the manner In which tha
German regulations concerning tbe > Importa

rlod out. The reports from the United
States representatives In Germany , he sajs.
show that all fruit not In any way affected
Is allowed to enter , while that affected vvlth
the San Jose scale a small proportion !
being denied admission.
Germany appeared to be doing what was
reasonable In the matter. The Inspection
necessarily causes some delay to shippers.
but the consular officers of this country are
doing all they can 'to facilitate entry.
A question has arisen as to whether the
parings and cores of fruits shipped to Ger
many from America and there made Into

subject Is under consideration by the Ger

A TALK WITH MRS. PINKHAM
About the Cause or Anomia.
Everybody comes into this world with n pro *

' iu other vvouls , everybody has a weak spot.
In ninety-nine cases out of n hundred the
weak spot in women is homcvvheio iu the uter
ine system , 'i'lie utor'ne ' oigans have less re
sistance to disease than the v Hal oiguus ; that'a
why they give out tlio soonest
Not moro than ono woman in a hundred
nay , in flvo hundred has perfcetly healthy organs of generation. This points
to the stern necessity of helping onu'c. self just as soon as the life powers seem
to bo on the wane.
Excessive menstruation is a sign of physical weakness nnd want of tone
in the uterine organs. It saps the strength uvvay uud produces anemia ( blood
turns to water ) .
It you become anemic , there is no knowing what will happen. If your gums
and the inside of your lips and inside your eyelids look palo in color , you are
in a dangerous way and must stop that drain on j onr povv ers. Why not build
up on a gcnoious , uplifting tonic , like Lydia 13. 1'iukham's
