the market has really shown more
strength than wheat. 1t opened at

Philadelphia, September 23.-Letters
received here from Havana by mem
Der of The Cuban Revolutionary party
say the Spanish cruiser BarcasJegU was
sunk by q torpedo and not By collision
with the steamer M0rtOra. These let
ters say it is an absolute fact that the
Barcastegui was sunk by q floating tor
ped0 launched by au adventurous party
OF Cubans The Cuban leader who re-
ceivel the letter says. The Spanish
government knows full we'll what sunk
their best cruiser IN the Cuban waters,
and sent To- their deaths Admiral ParejO,
fin command of the Spanish navy in Gu
ban waters. seven officers and 81 men.
We know here that before the dispatch
relating 10 the accident was sent il was
carefully edited by the press censor.
The advices which 1 have received
say that on Monday night a party OF ten
CuDans, under the command of Captain
Caros Enrique. left Guantanamo in a
steam launch. which was the recent in
veuu0u Of an American. Capt. En-
riQUe selected q point about 200 yards
from the war vessel from which to
launch the torpedo. It was slipped out
and rs soon as il was gone Capt. En-
rique gave orders TO steam away as
rapidly as possible The work of the
torpedo was more speedy than ant!ci-
PACED. Nc, five minutes had elapsed be

THE HEALTH BOARD.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir.-Judging from published reports
OF recent proceedings OF the City
Health Board. that august body is
greatly concerned about the opening of
the public schools north of the creek,
yet at the same time it grants the priv
ilege of opening private schools with
pupils scattered throughout the entire
city. Everyone who has noticed the
bungling actions of the Board during
the present year has lost confidence in
It's management The abuse of the
Board of Education and individuals
will not restore it TO public confidence,
neither does unreasonable discrimina-
ti0n against public interests and the
favOring OF private interests accomplish
the result. CITIZEN.
