powder when mixed with wat

two subjects, both blind, from
Newark, N. J. Many tubes
were tried, each with increasing
Strength and finally the sub

men was able, after a time to
say when the hight was turned

ful results were attained with
the aid of a red globe, and it
is Edison's intention to con-
tinue experiments on this line
until much more satisfactory
results are arrived at, which
he confidently predicts will be
soon.

ing the movements of the Span
ish troops in Cuba with great
interest. Maps of the Island of
Cuba prepared especially with
a view TO following the move
ments Of the armies are in Il Q
possession of the United States
Government and daily studied
by competent army officers.
The full significance of every
move of the Spanish army to-
ward the insurgents lis under
stood. The United States Gen
erals are getting as much iufor-
nation as if a United States
army officer was connected with
Gen. Weyler's staff.
Some of the officers who have
been studying the war III Cuba
are of the opinion that Weyler
is in danger of being led oft
into a trap by the insurgents.
As his army gets further and
further away from = Havana, it
is believed shat the enemy will
be more difficult to find. The
plan Of warfare that is pursued
by the Insurgents is that of
guerrilles, whose base of opera
tion is quickly changed, and
who can seldom be met with in
stuff eient force for set engage
ment. II is thought possible
that Weyler, in chasing the
insurgents into the interior
Of the island with the eXpec-
ton of forcing them into
an engagement, will find, when
lie gets there, that they have
eluded him and have passed
his tanks aud gotten between
him and Havana. If the insur-
gents conld fluid Havana in
partially defenseless state and
take POSSESSION of it, they
would then have a seat Of gov.
eminent and compel recog nition
from the United States.
These are possibilities that
are discussed in the depart
ments, although the Spanish
representatives boot at the idea
Of Weyler being outgeneral-d
or leaving Havana in a condi
ton to be captured by even a
large force Of insurgents. The
general impression here is that
no developments of Importance
viii! occur in Cuba within the
next fortnight. The reports Of
victories won by Gen. Weyler
are not accepted as accurate,
inaSmucb as uniayorable news
would not be allowed to cone
from the island, except in a
roundabout way.
The Government officials in
Washington are strong in their
belief that the fate Of the islar d
hinges on the success or failure
of Weyler's expedition. The
outcome of The expedition will,
it is believed, determine the
future relations bt tween his
country and Spain.

Nervous affections are a warning TO
