SANTIAGO DE CUBA, 27.—(Via steamer Remus, liled Port Antonio, Jamaica).—Don Arsonso Linares Pom bo, commandant general of this divi« Kion of Cuba, proclaimed four days ago, that every man between 15 and 50 years of age must enroll at once with tho volunteers for military serv ice, under penalty of arrest and mili tary trial and death. Senor Chuchy Manduley, magistrate of the high court of Santiago, and known as an intense Spanish sympathizar, ouo of tho most prominent men in tho city, left for the camp of the Cuban brigadier general, Chavelo. He was accompanied by sev eral men, and his going produced a vivid impression. The exodus from tl city was continued by night, tho Span iards making no opposition, except that few moil have been arrested as ex am pies. Five thousand persons liavo left for tho country since the proclama tion, four-fifths being women aud ciiil dren. Assume a Bullying Attitude. The Spanish soldiery now assume a bullying attitude and threaten to kill very Cuban man aud to outrage every Cuban woman left in the city when the blockade begins. When the American lleet appears, as it is daily expected to do, all tho non-combatants will be ex polled.

Tho government has announced, to quiet public alarm, that a ship loade with provisions was expected, but when,where from, or her name, nobody knows. Tho story is not believed. The panish soldiers, especially tho sick, ire abominably fed. Fourteen hundred sick in the military hospital here, yet nothing excopt bean soup throo times a day, with an ounce of meat to a plate. One thousand soldiers in San Luis hos pital liavo had only salt fish this week, and conditions aro now so bad that the Spaniards would Almost Kejolco t» Sarronder after ouo good light.

A new battery has been erected at the west harbor entrance, with four rapid lire guns, aud this correspondent hears ten or twelve more rapid lire small calibre fiuus will be mounted on Morro and tho east side battery. The Morro fort has at least fifty ancient brass cannon marked 1704. There aro reports about torpedoes in tho channel aud harbor, but tlity aro confusing. Prep arations liavo certainly been made to lav torpedoes, but whether it lia been actually done is not known. Strong floating mines aro ready to bo placed. Tho Spaniards assemblo nightly in the chief streets, yelling "L mg live Spam," boat and "Death to tho Yankees." Tho military authorities seem to have little control of the soldiers and the dis orderly elements. Spanish silver is at 4,"» per cent premium.

Love that Alters. Vfft is not love that alters when it alteration finds." Th is one of the sublimest lines in all literature. It is the filial definition of love by tlu world's greatest reader of the human mind Shakespeare. Nearly all women who truly love, love in this sublime way. Men seldom do. Woman's most glorious endowment is the power to awaken and hold the pure and honest love of a worthy man. When she loses it and still loves on, no one in the wide world can kno%v the heart apony she endures. The woman who suffers from weakness and derangement of her special womanly organism soon loses the power to sway the heart of a man. Her general health suffers and she loses her good looks, her attractiveness, her amia bility and her power and prestige as a woman. Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo. N.Y., with the assistance of his staff of able phy sicians. has prescribed for many thousands of women. lie has devised a perfect and scientific remedy for women's ailments. It is known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion. It is a positive specific for all weak nesses, diseases, disorders, displacements, irregularities, and debilitating drains pe culiar to women. It purifies,_ regulates, strengthens and heals. Medicine dealers sell it, and no honest dealer will advise you to accept a substitute that he may make a little larger profit. 1 was afflicted with ki'lney tror.Me and 1 have always had a torpid liver," writes Mrs. E.
