The Cuban General Sends a Let
ter by the New York Journal
Correspondent.
Does Not Think There Is Much
Annexation Sentiment Among
CubanS.
Attention Again Called to the
BarbarOus Warfare Conduct
ed by Weyler.

New YORK, May l5.-The CORES
pondent of the New York Journal has
Just returned from visit to General
Gomez, and the other Cuban leaders
in Cuba, and is the bearer of the fol.
lowing important statement by General
Gomez to the American people:
Your correspondent, now in oul
camp. has requested of me statement
of the attitude of the Cuban republic
on certain questions likely to assume
more or less importance when our
struggle for liberty shall have con.
cluded
"The question of our acceptance OF
the autonomous terms offered by Spain
has already been ably answered by our
distinguished representative in the
United States, Mr.. Estrada Palma.
Neither the terms of autonomy, nor
the act of Offering them is worthy of
serious consideration, on the part of Gu
bans, who have become familiar with
the treachery and duplicity OF Spain and
the worthlessness of her promises. We
do not believe We shall ever have to
call a special convention to consider
the framing of peace treaty with
Spain Only concession of absolute
independence will be regarded as a
sufficient basis for treaty negotiations,
and this the Spanish government will
not grant. e.
1T is difficult to discuss without en-
barrassment the question of our attl-
tude toward any proposition looking to
the annexation of Cuba to the United
States in the event of our ultimate
victory, as there has developed in the
United States a strong anti annexation
sentiment, and the Cubans have never
indicated in the slightest degree for
this closer relationship. Among the
Cubans now battling for freedom there
is strong sentiment against annexa-
ton, although our feelings towards
your country are the friendliest and OF
the most sympathetic character. We are

not only from Spain, but from any
government not Of our own making.
We will stand ready to form with the
United States any alliance calculated
to naturally strengthen our two coun
tries, commercially or otherwise, but
do not believe there is sentiment in
either country in favor Of Of annexa
ton strong enough to warrant the hops

government has done all that it could
with the means at hand TO alleviate
this distress. 1t was pointed out that
Spain has granted permission TO tho

destitute III Cuba, and moreover will
not place any obstacles IN the way OF
any proper charity III the United

destitute are not used to maintain the

resistance to the Spanish government

WASHINGTON, May 10. - President

decision in the matter, though he is
at present inclined to send to the legis.

gesting that measures be adopted to
relieve the distress among Americans
resident in Cuba The message, if it
goes in, will be entirely pacific i'll tone
and it can be stated on good authority,
will not be of wariike or sensational
tenor In order to have the facts on
which to predicate message, Mr. Nc
klnley has had Cablegrams sent to
every consular officer in Cuba asking
each Of them to give exact information
as to the status of affairs in his district,
and to telegraph replies at once. 1t
was understood by some members Of
the senate committee on foreign re!a.

but that whether it would Ue accom-

1t seems extremely probable now
that such q message will be sent te

Kate Moore, directress of music in the
public schools has avoided the error
point out by the writer, in straining
the voices of the little ones, and the
songs selected by her, have reference
sol. ly to the capacity of the pupils.
The criticism Of the writer in regard
to forcing boys to sing at an age when
their voices are changing, may be
needed by our board, if they find it has
merit, as the refusal Of boys to sing,
as provided by the course of study has
heretof ire been a matter of discipline.
Ell Pa-O has reason to be proud of the
musical voices of her Young, which is
largely due to the conscientious musical
training received in the schools.

Don't Be a Clam.

| The clam is low down thing, hid

sity roll over its head, and salt tears
are ready to be shed. But science re-
cognizes the clam. Prof. Grabau, of
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech

clam family, including the common
clam, the razor clam, hen clam, venus,
sl;q qua and cyprina clam. The profess

Interesting facts in the structure and
habits of forms of life which seem so
familiar and commonplace. He ex-
plains the muscular organization of
the common table clam, which enables
it to close its shell with such violence
the cartilage formation which opens
it when the muscles are relaxed, the
long siphon which it thrusts up through
the sand and mud for the purpose of
breathing with its two slender tubes
through which the water is drawn to
the gills and elected, the wonderful
transparent film or mantle which en-
velOpes the animal and secretes the
lime that forms the shell, and he tells
how the beautiful pearl was formed
from any foreign substance, generally
grain of sand, which finds its way 10
between this epi5helium layer and
the shell, where, through irrita-
ton, tiny sack is secreted
about it and the transformation slow
ly effected. This is as clear as mud,
but the scientific language brings re-
spect for the clam, and pity too, when
it is known that a clam often gets into
hot water by the acts of cruel man, and
may for time be doomed to solitary
confinement in washboiler full of
broth that the one clam gives a name.
The professor knows some of the clam

sOnalitieS, structures and ha bits. They
are of the varieties of mussel, like the
horse mussel, found only in deep water,
