CHOOSING a DOCTOR.

A medical authority who may be pre-
sumed to understand the true inward
ness of the profession has lately pub
Iished some advice about the selection
of a family physician, declaring such a
choice to be very important matter,
often undertaken in the most haphazard
way.
The following ''dont's" are given:
Don't choose an Incorporate physician;
don't choose one who has not the re-
spect of his colleagues; don't tolerate
one who is constantly singing mud at
his brethren; don't believe the claims
of one who has to hire hall or col
umn in newspaper that the world
may learn of his triumphs; don't choose
the man who is ultra-professional.
In choosing specialist or consuItant
it is well to be guided by the advice
of the family physician, who, if he be
honorable and broad-minded, will cheer
fully acquiesce in your desire to have
the assistance of some one of his col
leagues. If he becomes offended or as
sumes an injured air at the hint that
he is not the only member of his pro-
fession the sooner his vanity receives
few hard knocks the better.

NEW YORK, Feb. s.-A special to the,
New York World from Key West, Fla. ;,
says:
AS Gen. Weyier was marching with
MS columns just before entering Santa
Clara his horse was shot under him by
Il Cuban sharpshooter. 1t is supposed
the shot came from a distant hillside.
Throughout the march from Rodas.
the captain-genera1 was assaulted by
missiles of this kind, an d several times
barely escaped being wounded.
He is greatly worried over it, and
large scouting parties precede the ad.
vancing Spanish columns to capture
the daring marauders.
A Spanish force of 500 men was am
pushed Wednesday night near Naza-
rene, just west of Santa Clara, and.
narrowly escaped humiliation.
The insurgents had mined the road
and bridge over a creek and hidden on.
the road sides. AS the Spaniards were
crossing the bridge the mines were ex-
ploded killing 20 or 30 men and wound.
ing many more. The blowing up of
the bridge divided the Spanish force
and the Cubans fired on those in the
rear and charged with machetes. Many
Spaniards were driven into the creek
where they were drowned.
The soldiers in the rear column just
managed to escape annihilation. The
ADAMS captured so prisoners and re-
port over 100 Spaniards killed.

Worth on the Market.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6.-Mrs. Stand.
ford, widow of the late ex-senator
Stanford, has completed arrangements
for the sale of over a half million dol
lars worth of land. The property
consists of five ranches in different
parts of California. Altogether
there are 5000 acres of land,
much of it very fertile. The
intention is to sell each ranch as a
whole, if possible. This property is
part of the so-called Leland Stanford
estate which is separate from the en-.
dowment of Stanford university. Val.
liable and extensive, Vina, Rid.
ley, Palo Alto and other ranches,
together forming total of &c..
400 acres, have nothing to dc
with this sale. They can not be sold.
They are forever the property of the
university, having been given to it by
Senator Stanford during his life time.
The appraised value of the fine
ranches is slightly in excess of $780,
600. The agents hope to sell for more
than that.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-The Spanish
legation has received with the full
abstract of the new reforms for the
island of Cuba and Porto Rico, the
preamble of Senior Canovas, an
nouncing the terms of the new decree.
This preamble expresses the kindllest
feelings towards the Cuban people and
declares that their mother, Spain, Is
disposed, as she always has been, to
open her arms to them and to extend
amnesty for past offenses and declares
that the application of the reforms
only depends with the insurgents.
Minister Dupuy de LONE, discussed.
the scope of the reforms with a repre-
sentative of the United Associated
Presses and said, among other THINGS
1.-The electoral reforms were not re-
ferred to at length in the decree of the
ministry, for the reasons stated in the
preamble of Senior Canovas, that they
will require the action of the cortes.
/ am informed, however, that the gov
eminent contemplates extending
greatly the basis of the suffrage, but
they desire to do it in such a way as to
prevent undue influence being &C.
quired by the illiterate portion of the
population. Any educational qualit-
cation which may be suggested by the
Cubans and which seems reasonable
by the cortes, will undoubtedly be
adopted.
at is the purpose of the govern.
ment," said Senior Dupuy de LONE,
ito show the greatest generosity to-
wards the insurgents if they will lay
down their arms. The reforms can"
not well be put in full effect until the
sovereignty of Spain is acknowledged
in all parts of the island. The gov.
eminent will not relax its military
activity in any degree if the insur'
gents show a disposition to continue
the contest and fail to appreciate the
great concessions made by the home
government"
The tariff features of the new de-
cree, Senior de LONE said, mean
great deal for the United States as.
well as for Cuba. The first column OF
the new tariff schedules, providing for
revenue, will contain the greatest
number of items. leaving the list on
which determinations are made in.
favor of Spain not exceeding &c
per cent of the value of the
imports, comparatively short one.
The duties levied will be equal
against all countries except Spain,
and American manufacturers and ex-
porters, in view of their familiarity
with the Cuban trade and their near
ness to the island, are likely to appre-
ciate the Importance of these conces-
sions. The situation will be much
more favorable to American trade than
under the reciprocity treaty of 1850.
Spanish Dissatisfaction With Concessions
to Cuba.
MADRID, Feb. a.-There is much dis
satisfaction expressed here over what
are believed to be the excessive con-
cessions made to the Cubans in the
scheme of reforms, and it is thought
that cabinet changes are likely to re-
suit. 1t is reported that Marquis PidaL
or Gen. Martinez Campos will shortly
replace Senior del Castillo, the prime
minister. The latter, should he resign,
would place himself at the disposal of
the crown, which would possibly ad.
wise him to sunDort MARQUIS pidal
