Where WatchfulneSS of
Spain Must Begin.
Course to Be Taken to Put an
End to FilibuStering.
Then Would Come the Question of
Settling With Uncle Sam.

Madrid. Sept. 24.-The editor of The
Heraldo and deputy to the cortes. Senior
Augusta Suarez de Figuersa, in an
article over the pseudonym of lei AL
ferez Mochila," makes these interesting
remarks about filibustering:
The fact that war expeditions carry
ing war supplies for Cuban insurgents
have landed on the island shows the
uselessness OF our diplomatic efforts. as
we'll as our incapacity TO guard our
coasts. The situation has not been al
tered since President Cleveland's pro-
clamation. Vessels loaded with ammu-
milton from American ports still go to
Cuba. / believe that ii is best for US to
accept the fact that the Cuban insur-
gents have their basis pf operations in
the United States, and cease requesting
foreigners to do police work for US at sea.
We should face the Cuban war just as
IL is and as our own blunders have made
II. and desist from seeking foreign help
and consideration. For success we must
depend entirely upon our own forces. and
try TO persuade ourselves that Spain IL
strong enough to suppress the rebellion.
Better than indulging in useless
lamentations, whenever we learn that
some steamer has left the United States
for Cuba, would 1t be TO have the spirit
and courage TO go In search of the fill
clustering vessels and sink them. II.
keep close TO our coasts and walt until
these vessels come within reach OF our
men-of-war is simply ridiculous. Our
vigilance must begin at the American
ports and must be continued at sea. 1t
is time that We should accustom our
selves to see the enemy with arms and
munitions and all kinds of war supplies
in their hands. Let us conquer them so.
1t will be more glorious for us to do this
than to be always making inquiries as to
who gives the enemy the means to fight.
ITO conclude, let US take the war as
our inefiiciency has made 1t. and while
the time will come for US TO settle our
accounts with the United States. let us
settle first our account with the Cuban
insurgents. IL Is shameful that they
should have been leading us a wild-goose
chase so long. when they are not worth
anything as a military power. or in any
other respect"

the construction of another tenement house

A LOST" ART FOUND.
Successful Revival of the Ancient Wax
Process In ScuIpturc.

Successful Revival of the Ancient Wax
Process In Sculpture.
The revival of the "lost" art, or ancient
wax process, in sculpture, has lately been
accomplished in this country by "a well
known Rhode Island artist, Hippolyte L.
Hubert, notably i'm u bust of the late Judge
Carpenter of that state. The process Is
public, except in one particular, the hard
ening of the gelatin used. The clay or
plaster bust Is covered with clay coating
of even thickness. This Is again coated
with plaster, the clay being used TO give
the thickness of the gelatin. Both clay
and plaster arc then removed in two sec
tions. The clay Is takon from the plaster
and the space between the work and the
plaster filed with gelatin, prepared by tho
secret process 10 resist the action of heat
The gelatin is cast into two molds, closely
adhering to every feature of the work, and
is now prepared to receive the wax, which
Is attached To the Pclatine mold until
thick enough coating is obtained, when tho
gelatinc mold Is at once removed, and may
DO melted and used again. The whole Sc
crct Of the process Is In the preparation OF
the gclatinc so as 20 resist the action OF the
hot wax. The wax model thus obtained
is hollow and very light, is an exact repro
duction OF the original bust and may be
given any finishing touches that the sculp-
tor desires. Being susceptible to the ac-
tion Of tho atmosphere and of heat, these
wax models arc kept floating in water un-
til the time they are conveyed 70 the foun-
dry. The work of the sculptor Ia then fin
ished, and the success Of the casting do
pends, Of course, on tho founder New
York Sun.

QUICK LUNCHES MAKE FAT MEN.
Curious Result of the Habit of Eating
Food I'm a Hurry.

Curious Result of the Habit of Eating
Food I'm a Hurry.
Another evil result to the deadly
quick lunch has come TO light, and the
complaint has a foundation of scien-
tific probability.
1--WE noticed" said man, that every
person who acquires the quick lunch
habit gets fat as soon as he has come
under the regular influence of the sys-
TEN. Men who had been thin their
whole lives have begun to acquire no.
tieeable stomachs. and others with a
disposition to stoutness take on flesh
rapidly. 1t is perfectly plain to see
why il happens. These dairy luncheons
supply bread, bread, bread, the most
fattening thing man can eat, unless
il be the cakes and pastry that supple
ment the bread. There is sugar in most
of the bread, and it is impossible TO get
any one thing in these places which
does not have a tendency TO make n
man fat. I've watched it in a dozen
cases and there has not been an excep-
ton. It's all right for the thin men,
but for the fat men it's dreadful. It's
so much cheaper for n man to get fat
than TO keep thin. When he commences
&c diet and confine himself to such
things as meat and salads. his luncheon
costs him three or four times as much
as it would if he could eat the sand
wiches and the cakes, and the quality
of the food is not so good. Some
philanthropist ought to open lunch
place where a man can eat cheaply and
still keep his figure. But | don't see
how no could make it pay. Something
has to be done, however, TO Keep US all
from getting fat because We cannot af-
ford to pay for anything but dough
nuts, sandwiches. cakes and milk. -

two children, together with four other
women and one other child, and also
three men, were waiting to embark.
All of these were taken on board, and
then, at 1928 a. M, May 10, the Planter

salute and she proceeded down the bay.
Approaching Fort Sumter. Smalls stood
in the pilot house leaning out of the
window, with his arms folded across his
breast, after the manner of Capt. Re-
lay, the commander of the boat, and
with his head covered with the huge
straw hat which Capt. Relay commonly
wore on such occasions.
The signal required to be given by all
steamers passing out was given as
coolly as if Gen. Ripley was on board,
going out on a tour of inspection
Sumter answered by signal; "All right"
and the Planter headed toward Morris
island. then occupied by Hatch's light
artillery, and passed beyond the range
of Sumter's guns before anybody sus-
pected anything was wrong. When at
last the Planter was obviously going
toward the federal feet off the bar.
Sumter signaled toward Morris island
TO stop her. But il was too late. As
the Planter approached the federal
fleet, a white flag was displayed. but
