Unfortunate Spain.

From the LONDON IlmeS.
Enough has been said to show that the
rebels roam at will throughout the length
and breadth of Cuba. the only exception
to this being the towns and fortified posts
guarded by Spanish garrisons. l will go
further than this and say that Spain has
lost control and Jurisdiction in this island
are actually encamped. mile distant
from any Of these garrison towns and for
tilted posts armed rebels will be found at
every turn And this condition of affairs
has only one meaning-Spain has lost the
power to protect life and property in Cuba
l do not say that it is at all impossible
for the mother country to reconquer this
lost ground. but it must first be clearly
understood in Madrid what the true posi-
ton Is here today, and that the merely de-
fensive attitude now adopted Is worse than
useless. IL not, indeed. the precursor of dire
disaster. The fine and dry winter season is
now ended. and that opportunity for an
active campaign is lost: We are on the
threshold Of the VIGOROUSLY unhealthy
Cuban summer. with it's invariable and ter
rible scourge of yellow fever; the rains set
In during the month of May, and all roads
will now become practically impossible for
military maneuvering.
For the next six months, therefore. the
Spaniards can hope to do little by force of
arms: they must walt and suffer the ter
rible effects of the climate and support the
strain of being constantly harassed by the
rebel skirmishers. For the Cubans the
summer months have no terrors They are
not subject to yellow fever, nor do they
suffer from exposure to wet weather to
anything approaching the extent that Span
lards and other foreigners do. Day after
day kilograms from Madrid are published
in Havana to the effect that ministers and
other public personages express themselves
as thoroughly satisfied with the way affairs
are progressing in Cuba. 1t is time to be
done with such child's play and throw aside
these clumsy and puerile attempts to throw
uust IN the eyes OF the Spanish people. 1t
Is better they should know the truth. how
ever unpleasant and unpalatable the facts
may be.

SPEED OF INSECTS.
A Common House Fly Travels a Mile
in Thfrty-Three Seconds


From Science.
1t is the popular belief that the flight Of
birds is much swifter than that of INSECTS
but a number of naturalists who have been
making study of the matter think that
such is not the case
y common house fly. for example is not
very rapid in its flight. but its wings make
" Eht hundred beats second. and send it
through the air twenty-five feet under Or
binary circumstances in that space of time
When the insect is alarmed. however il has
been found that IT can increase its rate of
speed to over one hundred and sixty feet
per second. If II could continue such rapid
hight for a mile in a straight line ii would
cover that distance in exactly thirty-three
seconds.
1t Is not an uncommon thing when travel
ing by rail- in the summer time to see bee
or wasp keeping up with the train and try
ing TO get in at one of the windows A swal-
low is considered one of the swiftest of fiy-
ing BIRDS and ii was thought until recently
that no insect could escape il.
A naturalist tells of an exciting chase he
saw between a swallow and a dragon fly
which is among the swiftest of insects The
insect flew with incredible speed and
wheeled and lodged with such ease that the
swallow. despite its utmost efforts COM
pleteiy failed 10 overtake and capture it.

Henry and SeatOn Parks.
These two parks have an aggregate area
of about thirty-four acres. mainly laid out
in lawn surfaces the planting of which has
not as yet been completed; about three
acres only are covered by gravel road and
walk surfaces. They extend from the
Smithsonian grounds to the Botanic Gar
dens, which. in their turn, join the United
States Capitol grounds, and complete the
chain of parks extending from the Execu-
tive Mansion to the Capitol
During the year the improve ncnts have
been continued and the park maintained in
good order.
