Badness, like obesity is one OF
those MINOR evils which could probably
be much more thoroughly kept under

badness in the Lancet, makes some
observations which quit, corroborate

ly fasten on to her and tow her back to
San Diego.
The actual status of the Itata is not
that of pirate, but an authorized ship
upon the seas. She has no flag, no
clearance, no charter. Any ship OF any
nation can seize her, and IL she resists
she becomes at once a pirate.
The position in which the United
States is placed by the escaping of the
Itata is a peculiar one, bearing in mind
the forcible argument which Mr.. Eyarts
and other able representatives OF the
United States laid before the tribunal at
Geneva in respect to the escape of the
500" afterward the rebel cruiser Alaba-
ma, upon which arguments Great Britain
was mulcted in heavy damages. In that
case it will be remembered the suspected
vessel got away before the British au-
thorities had received sufficient in
formation, as they claimed, to war
rant them In scizing her. In the
case of the Itata the vessel was abso-
lutely in the possession Of the United
States Marshal, and the responsibility
for her escape can not be evaded. 1t
may be question between the Depart
ment OF Justice and the United States
Marshal as TO whether proper precau-
tions were taken to insure the detension
of the vessel, but as between the United
States and the recognized Gillian Gov
ernment should Balmaceda be successful
in the internecine warfare now in pro-
gress, there can be no manner of dispute
as to the complete liability of the United
States Government for whatever dam
ages the Itata uncaptured may be able
to inlict. There is quite feverish air
OF expectancy round the Navy Depart
ment as to the developements of the in
cident, and many of the officers on shore
are envying the opportunities which the
Charleston and other vessels are likely
to have of brisk service afoat
The question of the right of the United
States to take the Itata on the high seas
is not altogether settled. The State De-
Dartment people have searched their
authorities and have scrutiniZed the
facts in the case, and are inclined to
doubt the right. The whole question
arises from dispute as to the character
OF the vessel. Were she pirate,
a ship I'm the service of an
enemy to this country, and vessel
of American register engaged in acts
in violation of treaty stipulations, the
case would be simple one But she is
merely Chilian vessel, engaged I'm tho
transportation of n suspected cargo, a
cargo that may possibly be contraband
in the light of the treaty, and there is
very great risk involved No one
doubts the right OF the United States to
arrest the vessel in our waters for the
purpose Of examination, and her deten-
tion was in accordance with this belief.
But now that she has landed the deputy
marshal and sailed along on her business
she may prove hornet that will sting
In after years
In the matter of the international law
involved IL would seem as though the
State Department is not in entire accord
with the rest of the administration, for
both Attorney General Miller and Secre-
tary Tracy lean to the belief that the
vessel Itata is legitimate prey.

Rlto the END Of Your Cirnr.

DR.. Ferd Wilson and friend went
into Broadway cigar store the other
day. The friend selected a dark
Havana, put one end between his lips,
rolled it bit to moisten it, then put the
tip in the metal cutter on the counter
and clipped it off. He then placed the
clipped end in his mouth and drew in
once or twice before lighting. He
coughed several times as he lighted the
weed. Pardon me-" said the doctor,
"you should never do it that way.
Here is the method" The doctor
picked up another cigar, bit the end off
with his teeth, placed the other end in
his mouth and blew smartly once or
twice and then leisurely lighted it.
"You notice." said the doctor, II did
not cough. You did. The philosophy
of it is shis: when the end of cigar
is bitten off it crushes a small portion
of the tobacco into powder. If you
put the end Immediately into your
mouth and inhale, the small particles
are almost certain to lodge somewhere
in the throat and cause irritation.
That makes YOU cough, and, if your
tonsils happen to be in the right direc-
tiOn for it, case of bronchitis or worse
may compel you to call me in. Inever
use the clipper that is used by the
frequenters of cigar store. The ma
jority of the men moisten the tip of a
cigar, as you did, before cutting it..
NDw you never know the condition
of the man who preceded you. Some
of the moisture from his lips remains
on the cutter, and your cigar may take
on portion of it.
Some years ago a young man came
to me with cancer of the lip, contract

affair. The young fellow was a per-
sonal friend of mine, and was engaged
to be married. knew his habits and
conduct to be above reproach, but be

A dispatch from Washington says:
The most pressing thing in state affairs
now is the escape of the Itata. The pos
sibility that this can result in any seri-
Gus destruction of our relations with
Chilli is remote, but the ever present
specter of Indemnity" is what scares
the State Department. "Indemnity"
has become hair-raising word in state
circles. The Italians started it and the
fear that Chilli may also hoist an emblem
with indemnity emblaZoned on 1t causes
uneasiness. Ever since we made Great

Similar instructions were sent to Adj

bouts along the coast is not known.
Orders have also been sent to the
Charleston, now at San Francisco, to
start in pursuit as soon as possible.
This last does not amount to much, for
the Ieata has five hundred miles and
at least two days start from any vessel
that could sail from San Francisco, and
it is doubtful il the Charleston could
catch her in Gn even race. If the ship is
caught or intercepted it will be by one of
Admiral McCann's vessels, though IL the

The New York Tires remarks:
Spain's preparation 10 raise q statue
of Columbus on the spot from which
lie started upon the momentous voyage
of 1892 has suggested the propriety of
erecting some sort of memorial also at
his landing place in the New World.
The examination already made by the
Government engineers and architects
around the Monastery Of La Rabida,
near Palos, indicates that that may be
the region selected as a site for Spain's
commemorative statue. As to his
landing place in the Bahamas, there
has been in past times wide differ
ence of opinion. Some writers have
identified the land which he called San
Salvador with what is now known
as Cat Island; others with Mariguana;
still others with Turks Island, and so
on. But in recent years it has been
very well established that no one of
these was the place on which the nav
igator first set foot, but that the honor
belongs to Waiting Island. This spot
answers to all The descriptions in the
logbook of Columbus as no other of
the bahamas does; in feet, IL is now
officially called San Salvador. Thus
