ImnIncnhIe Fatriots.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.--Chickering Hall
was crowded tonight with enthusiastic
Cubans, who applauded when the speakers
declared that Cuba would never accept re-
forms from Spain, that peace can only
come after the evacuation of the island by
the Spanish army and that the Cuban patri-
OTIS will fight to the death for their indie
pendence. Not a word of English was spok-
en- during the meeting, over which Senior
Estrada Palma presided. Among the speak
ers were Gen. Emanuel Sanguilly Nicholas
Heredia, G. M. Garcia Monies, DR.. E. j.
Deverona, Fidel Pierro, DR.. Casuso H.
Montaro and M. Reccio de Morats. Between
the speeches Dr. Tamayo read kilograms
from Cubans in Boston, New Orleans, Gal
weston, Atlanta, Charleston, ST Louis, Chi
cago and Tampa. The message from the
Cubans in Tampa said that in reply to
Spain'S offer of sham reforms they would
send another dynamite gun to the Cuban
army. DIR. Tamayo also said that during
the, past month the Cubans of New York
had contributed $27. 1872 for the benefit of the
cause. General Sanguilly, the principal
speaker declared that Blanco will prosecute
the war just as if Canovas was still alive
and that the Cubans will fight to the end.

Feat Of n Good Seaman,

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 5.-The schooner
Volvano, only seventeen tons burden, has
arrived here after riding out a storm in
midocean, during which her compass was
lost. Captain William Kissell succeeded in
making port after a voyage of LOO miles,
with no other guide than the sun. stars and
trend of the currents. The northern Cali
fornia coast was sighted. Then an occa-
sional glimpse of the shore enabled the
skilled mariner to determine his way to the
Golden Gate. The little vessel sailed from
this city Oct. with salt and coal for Unga
island, the intention being to leave the
schooner in the north to ply between trad
ing stations. On Oct. is, when one thou
sand miles west of Cape Menderino, a
storm struck the vessel, nearly wrecking
her, and sweeping part of the cargo and
the compass overheard. The captain de-
cided to return here. and the manner in
which he accomplished the feat is consid-
cred marvellous by seafaring men.

Miss willard VIII Continue Her WOrI
of Raising Funds.

BUFFALO, Nov 5.-The resignation of
the board of trustees of the Temple, and
particularly the effect of Miss Willard's
resignation would have. was the subject
of much discussion to-day among the men,
bers of the w. c. T. U. still in the city.
BY some it was urged that Miss Willard S
action was death blow to the institution
The fact of the matter is that Miss Willard
resigned as trustee of the Temple at the
earnest request of her entire board of Off
GERS and of the executive committee of the
National w. c. T. L., who do not wish
to in any way appear responsible for the
Temple. Her resignation as trustee, how
ever, will in no way affect Miss Willard S
interest in the temple. as she will devote
herself TO the task of raising funds for pay
ing off the trust bonds.
Mrs. Carse left for Chicago to-day. Dur
ing her stay I'm Buffalo she raised more
than $1,000 towards the temple fund. She
stated that she was fully satisfied that the
fund would be raised so that the building
might be saved for the w. c. T. u.

"NOTHING UNUSUAL"
Navy Yard Activity Not Due to Our
Relations with Spain.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The Commercial
Advertiser says this afternoon: 1.-THE
Brooklyn navy yard is active, and work on
all the war vessels lying at the wharves or
in the dry docks is being pushed forward
as rapidly as possible under orders from the
Navy Department No one seems to under
stands why so much haste is necessary,
and inquiries are met with the invariable
reply: 1T is nothing unusual. We are
obeying orders issued some time ago; that
is ALL We always finish work at this sta
ton as rapidly as we can. SPANS naval
activities have nothing to do with our in
dustry.'
AN officer attached to the Office of the
commandant of the yard repeated this time
worn explanation to-day, but added that he
believed some sort of an order had been re-
ceived to urge the completion of the two
new vessels which are at the yard making
preparations for their final trials under the
board of inspection. These vessels are the
torpedo boat Foote and the big battle ship
Iowa.

A Cuban Manifesto.

NEW YORK, Nov 5.-A manifesto adj
dressed TO the government of the Cuban Re-
public was issued to-day by Cubans in this
city. 1t has already been signed by nearly
all the leading members of the Cuban colony
here and will be sent for additional sigma
lures to every part of the United States
where there is a Cuban colony or club
The document will also be submitted for
signatures to the Cuban colonies in Mexico,
the Antilles, Central and South America,
Paris and Rome 1t will afterwards be
transmitted to the Cuban provisional gov
eminent Copies of it in Spanish and Eng
lish will be mailed to every part of the
world The document states the causes
which compel the Cubans to accept no
transaction with Spain which is not based
on the absolute independence of Cuba. The
signers pledge themselves to support the
men fighting in Cuba until Cuban indie
pendence is accomplished. Prominent
Cubans in this city regard this manifesto
as the most important document issued by
Cubans abroad since the war started in
Cuba. A copy of the manifesto and a list
of the names of some of the more prominent
persons who have signed it will be sent to
the government at Washington, that its
significance may be better appreciated.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The full text of
the Spanish reply to the note of United
States Minister Woodford reached the State
Department in the last mail, and is now

as can be learned it is not the intention

now, so that the interest of the people must
be satisfied at present with the more or less
official statements emanating from Madrid
as to the character of the Spanish note.
1t is expected that the President will make
this note and the correspondence leading
up to it the basis for one of the most i'm

The Yantic-Canadienne Collision.

MONTREAL. Nov 5-The Yantic-Canadi-

Lieutenant Murdoch conducting the case
for the Yantic. The lookout man on the
Canadienne admitted that when he saw the
Yantics red light he did not report it. He
recognized that collision was inevitable
and ran aft for safety. Pilot Perron, who
had charge of the Yantic, with Lieutenant
Parker, U. S. N, was examined. and stated
that If the Canadienne had put her helm

green yellow. black or various shades.
The color of the chromatophores appears
TO change during contraction or expan-
sion and constitutes most complicated
and delicate study. Thus, in a little fish
(Gobius Ruthe nsparrD, Helncke. the Ger
man ma turalist while watching its yellow
pigment cells, saw them gradually expand
and become black.
These cells are distributed all over the
body with more or less regularity, and
upon their contraction and expansion de-
ponds the prevailing color of the animal.
Thus, II the pigment cells or chromato-
phores expand, the prevailing color will
become black and the very light spots in
the animal dull. On the other hand, IL
they contract a reverse effect obtains.
Exactly how these wonderful changes in
all animals which adapt themselves TO
their environments are produced is not
known, but IL is assumed that certain
colors through the medium of the optic
nerve produce contraction or expansion,
and the result Is a protective tint or one
which asslmilates that upon which the
animal Is resting. The eye receives the
stimulus or impression. which passes
from the optic nerve to the sympathetic
nerve, so reaching the various series OF
chr0ma tophores.

Scientific Description of the Method
by which Lizards Change Color.

Scientific Description or the Methoh

From the Scientific American.
These little creatures were about five
inches In length, of general dark green
hue shading to gray, assimilating the
various objects upon which they rested
slowly but very decidedly l arranged
several little corrals, one with a white
base, another with a gray, another with a
green, and changed the occupants about.
In ten or fifteen minutes they very ma
terially would adapt themselves to the
very tint, though they never became white
the change then being merely fading
out of all lines, leaving the body a faint
gray. At night they became a beautiful
green. which may be considered their nor
NAL color. The changes made in confine-
ment / am confident were not so rapid as
those when lizards were in their native
Florida. where moisture and hot days and
nights gave them the exact temperature
necessary for their best display.
There is something mysterious and
even uncanny in watching the change Of
color. When placed upon a green twig
the little creature would Immediately
draw itself out, extend its front and hind
legs at full length and become to all in
tents a part Of the twig or branch, so
that IL was difficult to distinguish 1t.
Meanwhile the mysterious blush or green
was deepening and stealing over its back
and sides, making the resemblance still
more striking. The natural assumption
of one who had given the subject no es-
pecial attention might be that the anolis
had glanced around, and perceiving that
il was presenting a contrast not favor
able to its personal safety, had assumed
a color more protective. In other words.
that there was some intelligent act as
ISOLATED with the change. When the
little creature was blindfolded II assum-
ca the same tint as at night, and did not
change when placed upon the most strik-
ing colors, showing that the eye was the
involuntary medium by which the DIFF
ferent tints were obtained. The act of
adaptation is perfectly involuntary, or
made without the knowledge of the eni-
NAL. At least this is the generally ac-
cepted explanation, and the experiments
which have been made with blind ami
mails seem TO show beyond question that
the eye is the medium.
