IT MAS C0NDE De YENADITO
Name Of The Spanish Cruiser Which
Fired on the Steamer AlianCa,
ONLY A NILE AND A HALF OFF COAST.
Saws the Comm apder of the Gunboat and
That She Was Heading Tor Maysi Point,
Full Inquiry Ordered

HAVANA. March 1s.-The commander
Of the Spanish cruiser Conde de Venadito
reports that on March 18th, while crus-
ing off the eastern coast of the island. he
sighted a steamer heading for Maysi
Point The steamers course was to the
northeast The cruiser hoisted a flag
and the steamer replied by raising an
English flag. The cruiser signalled the
steamer to stop, but without effect. As
the steamer proceeded at full speed, the
cruiser first fred two blank shots and
then two solid shots.
MILE ASD 4 HALF OFF THE COAST.
The commander says he did not de-
sire to hit the steamer but merely to
cause her to heave to. He asserts that
the steamer was but one and a half
miles off the Cuban coast when the firing
occurred.
The authorities here have ordered that a
full inquiry be made into the commanders 5
acts. Judging from Captain Crossman' $
story no one can doubt that the steamer
in question was the Alliance, which was
fired on by Spanish cruiser on March
Sth.
Nothing has been heard here to confirm
the rumor that tho gunboat Alcedo has
sunk an American schooner. The rumor
Is regarded as utterly mfoundcd in fact.

TO the Editor Of the New York Times
March 18th
In reply 10 your dispatch as follows
IN considering what should be done con
corning the outrage perpetratcd by the
Spanish man-of-war i'm firing on the
Alliance one fact should not be lost sight
of. 1t was deliberate and with full
knowledge of the act. Il is certain that
no person in command OF any war vessel
in the world would be ignorant that
firing upon merchant vessel Of another
power on tho nigh seas in time Of peace
would violate the law of nations. There
is not a subordinate officer OF any man
of-war I'm the world who has not been
sufficiently instructed TO know that. II is
therefore a case of "a wiful insult to the
American flag and people.

Tnr REBELLION IS srEioUs
The revolt in cuba is much more serl-

on the steamer Mascotte. lie says;
'T have travelled through the noun
famous districts constantly since trou-
bic began, and matters are now III
much worse condition than at the begin
ming. The fighting started in desultory
and scattered fashion. but the forces
gradually became crystallized, and now
there are fully 5000 men under arms.
--They are in a dozen or more detach-
monts. but are giving the Government no
end Of trouble. In many cases the Span
ish troops have been beaten back with
heavy loss The most deporable feature
of the warfare is the pillagng and burn
ing on the part Of the insurgents.
THE insurgents have gained confidence
since the beginning OF the trouble, and
matters I'm that district are in almost as
bad a condition as during the war Of
1868 The general opinion in Santiago
is that # the insurgents can hold out until
summer, the yellow fever will help them
greatly.
1T is said that both Raib and Maso
are confident of taking Santiago before

The passenger also said the revolt
would kill business in Cuba for two years.
Money is already scarce, and prices are
high pauic is feared. II seems to
be the general impression among the
Spaniards that the United States feels
bitterly towards the Spanish Government,
and would like nothing better than an
excuse to seize the island. Hence their
hatred Of the Americans
The Spanish Government has ordered
the young men who are subject TO the
Spanish army regulations, and who re-
side I'm this city, to report to the au-
thorties at Havana. Seven made ar
rangements TO obey the attachments, and
left on the Mascotte this evening. Ii is

A WOMAN In THE CASE,

HIGHLY RESPECTED LADY.
Mr.. Lloyd. OF Counsel for the Children,
Solsmsly Promised the Woman Not 70

SAN FRANCISCO. March H.-WheH
the Fair-will matter came up this morn
ing. Reuben II. Lloyd. of counsel for the
children, presented q hologrl )hic will OF
the dead ex-senator, dated three Gays
later than the cne originally fled for pro-
bate. and wnich has been stolen. He
stated TO the Court that Fair had given
the will into he custody Of highly
respected lady who mad just become cog
infant of the fact that the document
was dated later than the missing one.
AS soon as the will was put on record
the attorneys on both sides agreed to
have the matter OF the probate OF the
document set for April 2d. The attorneys
for the executors asked that their petit
tion for the probate OF the certified copy
OF the stolen will be set for the same
date. The understanding Is that at that
time the executors of the stolen document
will proceed 10 attack the authenticity
OF the new one. The attorneys for the
children were highly elated over the SEN

FOR GIRLS.
From Harper's Round Table.

The habit of thor roughness in house.
keeping leads one to keep rooms in
good order and the table beautifully
appointed. know a girl who says
that she takes great pains with her
room whenever she thinks her aunt
Mary is coming to see her, because
Aunt Mary's sharp eyes discover every
speck of dust, and observe any trifle
that is in the least out of order. Aunt
Mary is a bit of critic, and her
niece little afraid of her comments.
In other words, the aunt has made
a coward of the girl do not like
the idea of being in bondage to any
body, whether an aunt or stranger.
1t would seem to me a far better
way to feel that one must answer to
ones self, and that one would not
feel satisfied unless she could look
herself in the glass and say: "There,
everything is done in the best possible
manner, and you cannot find any
fault with me to-day. Try to, if you

The value of a note of thanks is great

some friend leaves a bunch of violets
at your door, and you fail to acknowl-
edge it until the flowers have faded,
your thanks, when they do come, are
tardy. When flowers are sent to
those who are i'll, they, of course,
cannot repay the courtesy by little
note themselves, but some one in the
family should do it for them. Your
note of thanks should be very genial,
showing that you are really pleased by
the kind attention and the happier
because of it. Do not be afraid to
write warmly and cordially on such
occasions. Ii stiff and formal you
are unjust both to your friend and

DR.. Parkhurst on Woman's Rights.

Certain women are talking a good
deal about their rights, writes the Rev.
Charles H. Parkhlrst, D. D., in a
very forcible article defining the posi-.
ton of "Woman Without the Ballot"
in the June Ladies' Home Journal.
1t seems to me that one of their most
precious and conspicuous rights is to
go in among the down trodden women
of our cities and towns, who have
even fewer rights than they, and by
the touch of their own womanly vigor
create within them the inspiration of a
clearer vision and larger hope.
There will be no need Of legislation or
of amended constitution in order to
the extension to them of this oppor
tunity. There are tens of thousands
of women IN the city Of New York
who are as ignorant of the true genius
of American institutions and of the
spirit OF American civilization as
though they were living in another
century and under the pressure of a
Russian or Turkish despotism. And
these women are sensitive to the
touch of amelioratlng influence. That
was phenomenally demonstrated here
last autumn. / am not antagonizing
female suffrage, but the fact remains
that women have great many more
rights than they are using, and are
standing at the threshold of innumer.
able doors of opportunity into which
they have not yet entered. The i'm.
provement of social conditions is a
very serious and discouraging business.
1t Is to be effected only by the medium
ofpersonal agency, and for that kind
OF ministry one woman is the equiva,
lent of ten men.

A Remarkable Cure.

My little girl who is now 4 years
old has been troubled with her eyes
since she was three months old. Last
summer she had large boils on her
head and when they left her the trouble
went to her eyes. l was compelled to
keep her in a dark room for two
months. She got so bad that she
could not hold up her head and we
took her to an eye hospital, but the
professor gave us no hope. On our
way home my wife bought bottle of
Hoods Sarsaparilla. That night she
opened one eye for the first time in
over a month, the next day she open
ed it little more and she continued
to gain until now she can see as we'll
as ever. Doctors and others have
been surprised by this cure

Putting on NaM GloYea.

In putting on new gloves, do 80
carefully, for their after-wear depends
very much on the way they are treat
ed from the very beginning. Never
put on gloves when you are in a hur-
ry and just going out; rather choose
another time, when your hands are
cool and you have ten minutes or so
to devote to them. Before beginning
operations dust little powder into
each glove, for this will cause them to
slip on more easily. Work the fingers
we'll on before putting in the thumb;
then work that in slowly, gradually
smoothing the kid onto the hand,
When the glove is carefully put on
pull 1t we'll down and button the sec
ond button. and any others that there
are. with the exception Of the first,
leaving the first button until the last.
If the hands are hot, remove the
gloves, and then turn them inside out.
pulling them carefully into shape and
leaving them in the air for an hour or
two before laying them away.
A glove-stretcher will be found of
assistance in the preparation of new
gloves for wear. 1t must, however, be
used with discretion, since 1t is quite
as annoying to have a glove that Is
too large as one that Is too small In
buying gloves always provide your
self with spool of sewing silk or linen
thread for mending, exactly the color
of the gloves.

A STUDY OF MOLECULES.
Autbor,,,e. at Variance About Certai

Authorities at Variance About Certain
Causes.
The modern conception OF the UNI
verge itself is based on the molecule.
This is the smallest mass into which
a substance is capable Of being sub
divided without changing It's chemi-
cal nature, but in compounds the moie-
cule itself Is divisible Into the ultimate
particles, known as atoms, OF the con-
stituent elements. Every materlai
body consists OF these molecules, sep
arated often by distances that are VAST
in comparison with their own magni-
tudes. and endowed with rapid and
ceaseles3 motion. Molecules must
ever remain invisible, II, as Sir Will
lam Thomson QLord Kelvin calculated
some years ago, their sizes are limit
ed between 1-250, ,000,0 and 1-5,0Oo,-
O0000th OF an inch. Ruled lines
somewhat closer than 1-1OO,000th OF
an inch have been resolved under the
microscope, but much more Is not TO
be expected, as the difficulties with
high powers increase to much great
er degree than the minuteness OF the
objects seen. The motion OF mole
clues in gases is unconfined and easily
demonstrated, but in liquids, not to
mention solids, the particles are held
together by the power Of cohesion and
appear inert Yet the motion OF fluid
molecules has been made perceptible.
In 1927 DR.. Robert Brown, looking
through a microscope at some pollen
grains suspended in water, was aston
ished to notice a constant motion--os-
cillatory, rotary and travelling-of the
smaller particles; and this motion,
known at first as the Brownian move
ment, and called later Pedesis, has
since been found to be common to all
minute particles of solid matter. Ver-
million, gamboge and pumicestone are
especially active, particles larger than
about 1-6000th of an inch remaining
inert. The movement is not due to
evaporation, as 1t has been known tc
continue for years in small quantity
of fluid inclosed in an air-tight case
and it has even been observed in the
fluids sealed in quartz of the oldes
rocks, where the particles have prob
ably been dancing for aeons. Other
causes have been assigned such as
gravitation currents in the containing
fluid, light, heat, electricity, magne-
tism and the molecular energy of the
particles themselves. These causes
have been studied by number o.
scientific men, the last being Mr.. R
Meade Bache. This observer find.
that all the explanations mentioned
may be rejected, and that the phenom
enon is one "of water and Of water
only" being due to molecular motion
of the water itself, revealed to the
senses, just as the flow of a deep river
is made perceptible by floating log

Where Is the Soul Located 2

AT different periods in history since
men first became imbued with the
idea that human beings were possessed
of souls, various ideas have been ad-
vanced as to the exact spot which that
intangible something claims as its
seat. Within the past thousand years
reputed authorities on psychology have
located it in widely separated sections
of the brain, as we'll as in several other
organs of the body, such as the heart,
liver, spleen and spinal cord. Five or
six years ago, in 1880, ] believe, DR..
A. II. Stevens gave the world his
views on the subject, declaring that
he believed 1t to be situated in that
portion of the brain known TO the
anatomists as the corpus callosum.
More than 1900 years before the
west coast speculative philosopher
above mentioned startled the world
with his announcement of the dis.
covery of the souls seat, it was be-
lleved in Greece, Rome and Egypt
that it was located in the pineal gland
of the brain. This gland is little
sac containing calca-eous grit, and for
which the Psychologists have not dis
covered any particular use. The dis
cussion of the subject is an interesting
one, but it is plain that it is a matter
wholly within the unknowable and ur.
discoverable.-,&. Louis Republic.

the highest compliment that can be
paid a mechanic Is to say that he per-
forms difficult work with ease; but it
adds that. whatever the work, ease in
doing it comes only as result Of long
labor that the uninitiated know moth
in about. All OF which is true and

There is only one way to cure Deaf

lining of the Eustachan Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
oess IS the result, and unless the in :.

this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for

Mr.. H. H. de Vos is president OF the
genuine Holland Dutch-not the imi-
tation Knickerbocker Dutch-society
of New York, and it was a good thing
and a true thing that he said at its
annual banquet. He has the right to
boast, and SO has every other genuine
Dutchman, that the red, white and
blue Of the flag Of Holland has stood
for liberty for centuries. II it had not
been SO, the red, white and blue of
the American flag might have been
meaningless.
At time when England and France
denied free speech to scientists, libe-
rails and men Of progress, when the
Tories Of all Europe were bent on max
ing a last desperate stand against ad-
vancement, Holland was the only ref
uge of freedom in Europe. 1t was
from Holland that the apostles Of prog
ress worked to liberate the world.
English books Of that time which
could not be printed in England have
in them typographical errors so char
acteristically Dutch that any one who
does not know history might laugh
at them. But those who do know his
tory never see one of them without
an inclination to take off their hats to
Holland, as the nursery-the home OF
the first free press that ever existed
in the world.
1t is because New York was Dutch
settlement that 1t always showed q
spirit of liberality which does not
characterize some other sections of
America more or less remote from 1t.
And If the descendants Of the New
York Dutch ever feel inclined to dis
honor the traditions of their ances-
tors let them go to the genuine Hol.
land Dutch and learn better.--NeV
