The Medical Record brings the full

THE Preventive Treatment Of seaslek-

paper has much interest for those who
Contemplate going down to the sea in

readily with DR.. Rockwell that sea-
sickness is no joke.
II may not be so easy to dlspel the
popular fallacy that seasIciSness is n
good thing inasmuch as 1t has spec
ial power to relieve and clear up tho
system" 1t is not strange that lay
men think there is no way to prevent
this malady. for DR.. Rockwell says the
disbelief is shared by every surgeon OF
an ocean steamer with whom he has
discussed the matter. This disinclina-
tion to try remedies for relief is attrib-
uted to the absolute failure Of most Of
them, once the wretehedness has lain

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-An air OF
gloom pervaded the headquarters of
the Cuban revolutionary party in this
CITY to-day, and the leaders. who would
not admit last night that there had
been any fillbustering expedition
which had met with disaster. freely ed
mitted that the story OF the wreck OF
the steamer ]. W. Hawkins was cor
rect.
7, Z. Palma, who is the acknowledge
ed head OF the Cuban revolutionary
party In New York, said that the story
was undoubtedly true. but he claimed
that the amount Of money expended
In the expedition had been exaggerated
and that only about 100000 had been
expended in fitting out the steamer j.
w. Hawkins. including arms and am
munition. THAT is, said Mr.. Palma
always presuming that such an ex-
petition was flied out. / wish you
would say for me through the Asso-
cIated Press that am placed In n very
delicate position In regard to this
whole matter. Otherwise ! would not
hesitate to tell all know about II, for
| believe that we hnYe the sympathy
of the United States with US, but that
II would not be President Cleveland
policy to aid US In any way. The Span
iHh government in It's present state
would not hesitate to resort TO any
means to place us in q bad light with
the United States and anything l
might say concerning this alleged all
clustering scheme might be distorted
to our detriment."
One of the Cuban leaders made the
startling announcement that II was
evident there had been treachery in the
camp OF the hlibustering party. You
See" said he, 1--WE hired an expert in
this city TO go to Baltimore 10 examine
the steamer ]. w. Hawkins before we
purchased her. This expert reported
that the steamer was seaworthy. Now,
either the expert did not do his duty
properly and the steamer was not Mt to
70 to sea, or else there was traitor
on board who deliberately scuttled the
ship. The latter would seem to be the
case. Neither General Garcia, who
was In command OF the expedition, nor
his son, who was second In command,
nor any OF the others ut the head of the
movement had any idea whatever that
the steamer was leaking until 1t was
too late TO save her. After leaving this
city on Saturday night all went well,
apparently. until Sunday night, when
one OF the nllnuhteTets, happening "
20 down to the engine room, saw the
water rushing in. He at once notified
General Garcia and some OF the party
were set to work to assist the crew at
the pumps but 1t was too late. A
most searching investigation is being
made, and II there was any plot to
scuttle the ship we will unearth It."
Tomasco EstrandG Palma said to-
day that II was true that there had
been a conference at the home OF Gem
eral Garcia last night, but he denied
TINT there had been any talk OF his
(Palmn's) resIgning the leadership Of
the revolutionary party in New York.
He also denied all knowledge OF the
whereabouts OF the fllibusterers who
arrived here yesterday,

The Pittsburgh reformers dig out OF

in that city was s9s.OOO,OOO. For lsssit

In the same time the increase in pop

had had so large an increase in wealth
She has not had 1t.
The increase is mainly in figures, an
easy way to increase taxation without
jumping the rate so as to stsrtlc the

where, and with very satisfactory re-
suits from the point of view OF the tax
eaters.

The Cuban resolution reported by the

is very mild. 1t asks the President to
use his good offices with Spain to In
duce that country to grant the cubnns
belllgerent rights, And II Spain de-
cllnes. the situation will be as 1t was
before.
We do not recall that Spain took the
trouble to confer with the government
in Washington before recognizing the

is not much strength of fibre in the sem
ate resolution. 1t is of value only as
showing sympathy, which has been
