OPERATION WAS NECESSARY.
Pros, Riddles Condition Extremely
Critical.

Prof w. w. Riddle, who was severe
~ hurt in the street railway accident
a week ago, was reported somewhat
better at ST Barnabas hospital last
evening. Yesterday an operation was
performed to determine the exact
nature of the injuries with which he is
suffering. Since the accident, he was
thought to have received a fracture
OF the skull. However, the operation
developed the fact that such was not
the case. No fracture was found. but
it was discovered that an injury to the
brain was what the victim of the ac-
Cident was suffering with. His condi-
ton is considered hopeful, but he is
still in a very critical condition. He
has been in a painless stupOr with oc-
casiOnal intervals of semi-cOnsciOus-
ness since the accident but it is hoped
that now he will show marked signs
of improvement since the exact nature
Of the trouble is known. His parents
are il the city and are in almost con-
slant attendance at his bedside.

ANNEXATION IDEA
Exploited I'm an Editorial I'm La Luz
cha at Havana.

KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. 1.-THE fol-
lowing advices have just been received
from Havana: La Lucha, in an edito-
rial, says that, IL Spain accepts the in
tervention of the United States. even
though this shall be indirect and friend
~ in plan and scope, the Cuban re-
forms must necessarily be in danger
because OF the fomenting of the annex
alton idea amongst European Span

felt In sympathy with such a move.
ment. This was shown, according to
this editorial in 1864, when a large
number Of Spaniards and Europeans
representing great part Of the wealth
or cuba, met to give form and expires
sion to this idea. They could not real.
ize this object, because Of the opposl-
tlon or the Cubans, who were invited
to attend the meeting
Continuing, the article says that the
Cubans feel jealousy and repulsion to-
ward the Americans. This is shown
IN all of their accounts The Cubans
never have felt anything except the
pronounced Cuban sentiment On the
other hand, European Spaniards, since
1850. have shown their liking for all
Americans, believing that their inter
ests lie In that direction. They are
also OF the opinion that labor would be
better guaranteed under American rule
than by any possible solution along
the lines of diminished Spanish sover-
eighty.
proceeding, the editorial says that
LOT many years something mysterious
mas been attracting European Span
lards toward the Yankees. Possibly
iris is due to instinct Of self-preser-
walton and continued commercial re-
latlons and business intercourse he
tween the Spaniards residing in CUBA
and their correspondents in America
Ihey feel alarmed lest in the future
their business will not be dependent
upon Madrid, and would conclude the
existing condition Of affairs by giving
form to the annexationist ideas already
IN existence, although rather dormant
They would be glad to arouse among
all higher classes Of the Spanish ele
ment the sleeping idea of annexation.
and this would be SO productive and
transcendant that in a few years it
would evoke an inevitable explosion
OF annexation ideas which no power
on earth would be able to contend
with when once developed. The article
has caused profound sensation
