The Atlantic fleet, the strongest
fleet America has ever owned, has
been for weeks engaged in drill in
the Carribbean Sea, culminating in
the quarterly target practice. This
practice was just about concluding
with most satisfactory results up to
yesterday and it was definitely ex-
pected at the department that all
records would be broken in the mat-
ter of rapidity of fire and in efficien-
cy of the gunners. But a cablegram
came from Rear Admiral Evans tell-
ing of a dreadful accident on the
Kearsarge. The news came from
Caimanera, a little cable station at
the mouth of Guantanamo Bay, in-
dicating that the Kearsarge had ar-
rived there. A single telegraphic
error, requiring the consumption of
extra time to decipher the message,
added to the anxiety of the case.
When the message was finally reduc-
ed to form it read as follows:

Suffered Severely With Eczema All
Over Body—A Thousand Thanks
to Cutlcura Remedies.
"For over thirty-five years I was a
severe sufferer from eczema. The
eruption was not confined to any one
place. It was all over my body, limbs,
and even on my head. I am sixty
years old and an old soldier, and have
been examined by the Government
Board over fifteen times, and they
said there was no cure for me. I have
taken all kinds of medicine and have
spent large sums of money for doc-
tors, without avail. A short time ago
I decided to try the Cuticura Reme-
dies, and after using two cakes of
Cutlcura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura
Ointment, and two bottles of Cutl-
cura Resolvent, two treatments in all,
I am now well and completely cured.
