COG AND MAGOG.

Various Traditions Relating to These Two
Famous Giants.
Who were Cog and Magog? English
tradition says that they were the last of
a race of giants who infested England
until they were destroyed by some Of
the Trojans who went to the British
isles after the destruction of Troy. Cog
and Magog, it is said, were taken cap
tive to London, where they were chained
at the door Of the palace Of the king.
When they died, wooden images Of the
two giants were put in their places. In
the course Of time great fire destroyed
these, but now, if you go to London,
you will see in the great hall of one Of
the famous buildings-the Guildhall-
two immense wooden efigies of men,
called Cog and Magog.
But there are other traditions of the
two giants. One is to the effect that
when Alexander the Great overran Asia,
he chased into the mountains of the
north an impure, wicked and man eat
ing people who were 20 nations in num-
Der, and who were shut up with ram
part in which were gates of brass. One
of these nations was Goth and another
Magoth, from which we readily get the
names of the mythical giants. It is sup
posed, however, that the Turks were
meant by Cog and the Mongols were
the children Of Magog. We shall find
mention made of Cog and Magog in
many books, including the Bible, but
there is the great wall and the ram
part of Cog and Magog, whatever may
have been the fact that gave the names
Of the two giants to that portion Of the
structure. Noah Brooks in st. Nicho-

THE WATcttER

Dye whose unrewarded eyes
Forever watch the oceans rim,
Your ships perchance meath friendlier skies
Rest far beyond your vision dim.
Perhaps in some sweet bay they wait
Where bides the primal, perfect day.
Where airs from springtime finger late
Or never perish quite away.
In some faroff, diviner land
Where never garnered wealth grows old,
Safe harbored they may wait your hand
To strike their sails and yield their gold.

Only when suffering is caused whole
sale, as it were, does the mighty mach
chinery of this organization set itself
in motion. But the wires from this
old house can touch the purse and
heart of the richest man and turn a
golden stream toward regions of des-
olation and despair. Since the Amer
lean Red Cross society was formed in
1881 its president has received and di-
rected the disbursement in money
alone of not less than $500 900.
Miss Clara Barton while in Chicago
recently sat for her picture for the
first time in thirty-flve years. The re-
production of that picture shows her
kindly features to the world as they
are today, scanned by the hand of time,
but still inspired by the warm sympa-
thy for the oppressed which has made
the symbol of the Red Cross familiar
and welcome on every battlefield OF
the last third of century.

Pittsburg, Jan. 21.-For once Spain
has been outwitted and its decree de-
fed. Sylvester Scovel, staff CORES
pendent of the Dispatch, left Havana,
but not the island of Cuba. Eluding
the vigilance of the Spanish spies who
were deputed to carry out the edict of
deportation, Scovel made a dash
through the lines and, according to Of
fetal report received in the state de-
partment at Washington, is now once
mere with the army of Gen. Gomez,
where, for the time being at least, he
is safe from the orders of arrest and
Punishment issued by the despotic Of
ficials of the Castle Moro
Yesterday afternoon the Dispatch re-
ceived the following telegram from
Secretary Olney:
Consul General Williams wires that
Scovel is said to have returned to the
insurgent lines"
The military authorities are greatly
incensed by the escape of ScOvel and
have made every effort to prevent any
information as to the deed of daring
in leaving Havana. A brief message
fl ON another correspondent was
slipped over to London and tele-
graphed from there, reaching Pittsburg
last night. 1t reads:
The disappearance of Scovel from
the Cuban capital is a sensation Sec
ond only to the recall of CampoS The
authorities were making preparations
to carry OF the order of Punishment
when they suddenly discovered thaC
their victim was not to be found.
| Nothing definite is known here as TO
the exact manner of his escape"
Nashville, Jan. 21.-Corgressman
Mcmillan reached the city last night
/ from Washington, and in an inter
view concerning the nations affairs
said he had good grounds for the
statement that President Cleveland in
a few days will SEND a message to
| congress recognizing the Cubans as
! belligerents. The TumOrs connecting
! England with the purchase of Cuba
are bringing matters to a crisis, he
says.
Havana, Jan. 21.-Gen. Campos was
accorded a special and affecting fare
well demonstration upon the occasion
of his departure from Havana fer
! Spain. The general went on board
/ yacht which took him to the Spanish
| War-ship AlfonZo Doce. The harbor
presented a scene of great animation.
The wharf was black with people as
! the vessel floated past and all shouted
vivas for Campos.
Tampa, Fla, Jan. 21-The state
ment relative to the loCting of the
armory of the state militia of this
place has no foundation whatever. A
large hardware establishment was
burglarized last week and some arms
stolen. The burglary is not credited
to friends of the insurgents.

SLOW TO RISE.
BUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE
STRONG AND TRUE.
Davis Resolution Causing Consider
able Comment-Fr2med to In
cIude Honduras Case

Washington, Jan. 19.-The Davis
resolution interpreting the Monroe
doctrine has caused considerable COM
ment among senators and others. In
answer to he report that there was
some opposition to the declaration by
the United States Of what the Monroe
doctrine covered, it is said by the ad-
vocates of the resolution that when the
question arises in which the Monroe
doctrine is involved, some foreign gov
eminent interested makes the point
that the Monroe doctrine is nothing
but an assertion which never has been
adopted by an American congress or
approved by the American people. 1t
is claimed that declaration once for
mally adopted by congress will settle
forever the question of foreign agrees
sion on the American continent
The reports concerning the British
flying squadron have stirred up the
friends of the resolution and they have
decided that if the reports that it is
bound for Bermuda are confirmed eff
forts shall be made to call up the Davis
resolution and pass it through the SEN
ate as soon as possible, even to the dis
placement of the silver bill. 1t is said
by men prominent in foreign affairs
in congress that England could not
make greater mistake than to send
a feet to the Bermudas. One of the
most pronounced advocates of the
American doctrine said that the Amer
lean people were slow to rise, but they
would resent with their whole strength
anything that might be construed into
a menace of the United States. The
Davis resolution, he added, would
make it clear that under no circum-
stances will any violation of the Mon
roe doctrine be allowed.
The Davis resolution will be pre-
scented to the senate Monday.
There is no doubt that it
will be debated at length whenever
brought up, as it is understood there
is considerable opposition to be mani
tested to it, and especially to that part
which makes the United States judge
Of the validity of any arbitration or
agreement. 1t is asserted by the OPP
ponents of the resolution that such
declaration is bound to lead to entan-
clements. The resolution is framed to
cover not only the Venezuelan case,
but also that of Honduras, which, it is
said, will soon eIgross the attention of
the world In the Honduras case, it is
said, Great Britain's claim goes back
to the time of Charles l, when grant
to cut mahogany was given to some
wood choppers.
London Jan 19.-The admiralty in
forms the associated press that the
destination of the flying squadron of
British warships now off Spithead has
not yet been determined upon, even
by the admiralty, and that certainly
the warships are not going to Bermuda
or anywhere in American waters at
present.

TESLA'S PANACEA.
Famous Electrician Invents Machine
to Cure Organic Diseases.

New York, Jan. 19.-Nicola Tesla,
the electrician, has invented an appar-
atus which he believes will cure any
organic disease. Some years ago, when
Mr.. Tesla made public a mere outline
of the cure, an Austrian doctor applied
it in a crude way to the cure of several
patients suffering with tuberculosis of
the lungs. The typewriter report of
these cures was destroyed in the fire
in Mr.. Tesla's laboratory a year ago,
and the name and address Of the doctor
are lost. The apparatus is something
like the Swedish movement cure. 1t
gives 100 shocks a second. Abram S.
Hewitt has found that it cured his
liver trouble in one day, so Mr.. Tesla
says.

turn that fire, it would be different.
But until we are recognized as bellig-
erents it is impossible for us to float

politely declined to answer. Speaking
of the Spanish forces in Cuba at pres
ent, he said:
when the revolution broke out,
Spain had 1000 troops in all Cuba.
Now she has about 79,000-that is 20
say, us near as we have been able TO
have perisned during the revolution,
to say nothing of these that must in
evitably perish in the future for want
of sufficient medical attention, and
most Of all, eatable food Senior Pal
ma was asked where Spain would Sc
cure food with which to feed her sol
diers, to which he replied: What lit
tie food she gets must come from
other lands than the island of Cuba
Very little food viii Spanish soldiers
receive from our people, and what lit
tie they will get will be gotten
The president of that young nation
was questioned further as to how
many naval vessels Spain has an
chored in and about the borders OF
the island of Cuba, to which he re-
piled: In my judgment, there arr
about forty gunboats, large, small
medium sized boats, all ready to pour

while he has been in Washington, he
has been called upon by several sen.
ators and congressman, all Of whom

He believes further that the day &

in South Carolina, and will be district

OF the general staff will swell the

Miss Barton's departure to give re-
lief to the Armenians is the result OF
a conference held IN New York recently
with representatives of the various re-
lief committees at work throughout the
country, when she consented to en-
bark the moment a preliminary guar

Aunt was promptly forthcoming, and
it is expected that before she reaches

funds are forthcom ing, the society does
the work, if not it waits.
The extent of the Red Cross neutral
service since 1864 assumes stately pro-
portions. From 1866 to 1895, thirty
years, he Red Cross banner and bras

in the wars between Prussia and Aus

Abyssini, Tunis, Morocco, the Trans

French have carried it into all their
movements in Cambodia, Tonquin.

into C0rea and China. In South and
Central America the symbol of inter

mala and San Salvador.
Some have thought that the Red
Cross work is intended only for wal
times, and that it is going beyond it's
sphere in doing a purely charitable
wor K in Armenia. It is true the orig
inal idea was based on the needs 81
