MINNEAPOLIS. May 19. A special to th <
Journal from Wausau , WIs. , sajs : The tor
nado which passed across Marathon count ;
last night about 7 o'clock did Its mos
severe dnmago at the village of Antlgo , li
Langlado county. It took an almost stialgh
course northeast from ono end of the count ;
to the other. That It did not sweep througi
Iho city of Wausau , the heart of which la ]
right In Its path , is duo to the fact that a
Rib Hill , southeast of the city , It seems ti
have deflected from Its course. Passim
north and east of Wausau It struck tin
farm house of August Honke. about n mill
and a half from Zlcglcr postottlce , which wai
demolished , nnd Mr , and Mrs Hanko am
four children perished In the ruins. Passim
on toward Taegge , the sawmill of the Curtli
& Yale company at that point was unroofec
nnd practically demolished. The storm ceiv
ter crossed the river at Granite Heights
seven miles north of Wausau , and there thi
sawmill of David Finn was destroyed am
his stock In pile blown about. From then
the path of the storm to Antlgo lay througi
an uninhabited timber country.
At Antlgo It struck the north outskirts o
the village and made a path about a quartci
of n mile wide where the village cxtondi
for about three-quarters of a mile. Then
were about thirty-five houses destrocd
The dark , funnel-shaped cloud swung nloni
toward the vlllaco with terrific velocity. I
seemed to bo coming straight toward thi
business part of the city , when suddcnl ;
It was seen to veer slightly to the north an !
the damage was much lessened by the sllgh
change of course. Following Is a list of thi
killed at Antlgo :

NEW YORK , May 19. A dispatch to th
Times from Washington says : Admtia
Sampson , it Is said , Is now In a position ti
be icgularly and frequently Informed of th <
approach of the enemy.
"We are bound to come up with the Span
lard , " said a prominent naval officer today
"unless ho decides to run for our coast , bu
that will only defer the meeting for a fev
days. The longer ho runs and dodges thi
shorter becomes his supply of fuel. One
that Is exhausted he lirs no place to whlcl
he can resort for supplies , except San Juai
or Havana. Ho may select either port li
prefers. If It be Porto Rico , Sampson woul ,
return and resume the bombardment. I d <
not , however , believe Admiral Cervera wll
permit his fleet to bo bottled up In a har
bor and shelled where It cannot maneuver/
Pew consider the suggestion of a dash fo
the United States coast as one of the proba
billtles. If that were to be undertaken i
would not bo by the Caribbean squadron
The danger from that source Is regarded a
very slight. If the squadron Is proceedtni
by a northern route , it cannot avald bein ;
seen by vessels bound east along the usua
routes. If It is traveling- nut of the usua
lane the scouts of the United States nav.
are certain to sight it. Charleston , th
Chesapeake , New York , Philadelphia , Dosto ,
and Portland are considered by naval de
partment officials and by ordnance officer ,
as quite safe from any such exploit.
The Navy department officials have ccasct
paying any attention to inquiries rcgardtni
the many Spanish fleets dally reported a
having been seen at widely different lo
calltles.
Some Indignation Is expressed about thi
altogether uncalled for nervousness manl
tested by citizens of Boston and other east
cm cities who called for protection fron
the navy and who succeeded In detachlni
on useless scout service the Columbia am
Minneapolis. The officers of those vessel
have been heard from bore , and they con
slder they wcro unnecessarily deprived o
use In scouting In the south merely to qule
the anxieties of persons qulto ncedlessl ;
alarmed.
The war will , It Is believed by those whi
are acquainted with the program of thi
naval authorities and the condition of thi
Spaniards In Cuba , be short if the fleet o
Admiral Sampson and that of Spain can b <
brought together soon. The Navy depart
tnent does not look for any excess of cnerg ;
In the Spanish navy. It Is considered tha
the demoralized condition of Spain preclude :
renewed war activity.

KBY WEST , May 19. ( New York Work
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The crulsei
Montgomery , Captain Converse , had a one
sided brush with a Spanish gunboat ant
consort off Nuevltas , Cuba , Wcducsdaj
afternoon. It saw both steaming for Nue
vltas and fired n five-Inch as a challenge
The Spanards' answer was sudden clouds ol
black smoke and a rush to cover. It dis
appeared behind a point of land in the river
The Montgomery got the line of its mast !
and discharged five more five-Inch shells
As well as could be judged two broke rlghl
over the rear ship and the Montgomery's
men are confident they did execution. The
Montgomery reached the mouth of the rlvei
and waited for the Spaniards to reappear
but though the Montgomery was alone the
Spaniards kept running. The Montgomcrj
did not dare proceed tip the river for feat
of mines.

CHICAGO , May 19. A special to the Dallj
News from Washington says : Although
nothing official is given out at the Nav >
department , the opinion is cautiously ex
pressed that the reported bombardment ol
Santiago do Cuba Is probably true. A large
number of American , vessels are there and
one of the special missions to which thej
have been assigned Is the cutting of the
cable from that port. There are three
cables at Santiago de Cuba , two running tc
Jamaica and one to Haytl. They are

The outlook for a naval battle within the

NEW YORK , May 19. A special to the
Times from WashliiRton M > S : The plans for
the Invasion of Cuba by the United States
forces remain unchanged. The cluslvo per
formances of the Spanish squadron have
postponed the execution of a part at least o
the program , but It has been altered In no
Important particular. The determination to
dispatch to the Island ns soon as prac
ticable an army of not less than 50,000 mci
competent to meet and cope with the foices
of Dlanco still stands. Hut the time has no
jet come when It Is practicable to do this
for the simple reason that the army In no
ready to bo sent to Cuba. The 16,000 regu
lars massed at Tampa are urepaicd to go
anywhere nt any time. The majority of the
volunteers gathering nt Tampa , New Or
leans , Mobile and ChlcKamauga are not prepared
pared to go anywhere and will not bo untl
they are uniformed , armed , equipped am
have some training In the art of war. Al
of this will take time. The best juilgmcn
of military experts Is that U will require no
less than n mouth under tflo most favornblt.
clicumstnnccs to put 33.000 volunteers li
condition to reinforce thu regulars In nt
Invasion. It Is thought by many tralnci
officers that more time than that ought to
bo taken. It Is iccallcd that General Scot
spent six months In training his nrmy be
fore he attacked the City of Mexico. The
Inglorious experience of Bull Hun Is an
Illustration of the Inadvlsablllty of putting
raw recruits too soon on thu field.
The dispatching of an expedition , mad
up almost If not entirely of regulars , fron
the Tampa camp to make n landing on th
Cuban coast , throw up fortifications and
clear tho" way for the coming of the nrmj
proper later on. Is not likely to be lonj ,
delayed. It is not settled that this will b
done , but strong arguments nro being uset
In favor of the project. It Is urged tha
wo went Into this war largely In order to
save the rcconccntrados from starving , bu
that as a result of our present plans wo arc
making starvation sure , and make It likely
that some of the Insurgents will suffer th
same fate.
A force of 5,000 regulars landed at an
available spot In Cuba would , It Is con
tended , be able to do something toward re
llevlng this suffering by establishing a base
of supplies which could bo drawn upon bj
the Insurgents. Further It Is argued li
favor of the seizure of a landing place with
out delay that the undertaking Is becoming
moro difficult every day and that the icgu
lars could not bo better employed than li
providing fortifications to protect the do
barkatlon of the. main army when it is ready
to move.
The longer the occupation of a landing
place Is dcla > cd , It Is pointed out , the more
tlmo Dlanco has for throwing up fortlflca
tlons and mounting batteries along the
coast which will cause trouble when th
real Invasion begins. The advocates of thl
movement believe It would be easy for a
force of the strength mentioned to hold
Its own with the protection the blockading
squadron'could afford.
There Is no prospect , however , that evei
a preliminary movement of this nature I
likely to be undertaken Immediately. Fo
the present , at least , all military movements
monts will await the result of the maneuv
erlng of the squadron.

Physicians Who Treat Women
Often Lack Discernment.
THEY DO NOT GRASP
DEPTH OF THE SUBJECT.
Wo often read of women who patronlzt
the physician for a so-called Blight ailment
and eeem to bo < al\vays sick and > ct ara able
to be round. Hut at length these wonuu
abandon the physician and toke up with ono
or more of the numerous bottled remedies
ao widely advertised. The real truth of the
matter Is that the ph > slclan does not divine
the true state of affairs nor le > the bottled
remedy of tlio slightest old. Wden a woman
suffers with Icucorrhoea or womb displace
ment or paluful monthly elcknccA she goes
to the doctor la the hope that she will get
a medicine that will help her. And she al
most Invariably falls. She takca up with tha
stomach dopes of commerce with tdo same
hopeful feeling. And berc too she falls. Tlio
whole plan of treating women by such
moans la radically wrong and all women
who suffer rc.illze that such Is a fact. There
Is only one method whereby woman rray euro
hcroelf of the distressing condition known a ?
female troubles and that Is by local appli
cation. There Is a remedy recently Introduced
that has worked wonders In curing all forms
of womb trouble * .
It Is called Hazellne , put up In Iho form ot
a suppository which Id applied directly to
the diseased paita. Any woman can apply It
herself and she needs no doctor nor assist
ance of any kind. Druggists In Omaha at
1523 Farnam street. 125 South Fifteenth
street and at 1513 Dodge street keep Hazel'
Ino In stock , but If for any reason a woman
dislikes to aak for it or cannot induce hcf
husband or brother to call and get It for
her , she may aend one dollar to the Hazellna
Co. , South Bend , Ind. , and they will mall
prepaid cne box of Hazellne. Every woman
wtio suffers should try this marvelous rem
edy. It has never failed. Write to this firm
for their book which shows conclusively
that their method of treatment is just what
every woman needii. The book 1s malted
free to all.
