isgoing to be presented by the United States
government before the government OF Spain
in demand for the restoration OF the
property confiscated by the Spa mia r,is
during the last war from Martin Castillo
and .Agramonee. an American citizen.
Like the Mora claim, the case has been the
subject OF no small amount Of correspond
ence between the two governments. and it
was rumored lately in Havana that owing
to the demands made by the State Depart

MANY CAUSES OF SUICIDE
DR.. Forbes Winslow's Address to

Highly Sensitive Temperaments.

New York, Sept. 5.-The mcdico-ieSal

read was one by DR.. Forbes Winslow, OF
London, entitled Suicide Considered as a
Mental Epidemic
The doctor, in brief, after a short disser-
tation on human actions being all under
the influence and power OF example and the

say that inceDdiarism. infanticide. kepto-
mania, homicide and suicide have all, dur

or the other.
To the medical philosopher nothing can
can be more deeply interesting than To
trace the reciprocity of action existing
between different mental conditions and
affections of particular organs.
Anger affects the liver and frequently
gives rise TO an attack of iaundce, and in
hepatic and internal disea se how irrita bic

In England the great majority of the
cases OF insanity among women In estab-

insane can clearly be traced TO unrequited

merchandise of love"
Men and women are estimated. not by
their mental endowments. not by their
moral worth, not by their capacity OF
making the domestic firesidie happy. but
by the length of their respective purses.
Instead OF seeking for a heart. We look FOR
a dowry: money is preferred to intellect;
pure and unadullerated affection dwindles
into nothingnes when placed In the same
