FOR DESTITUTE CUBANS
APPEAL TO AMERICANS FROM THE
CATHOLIC BISHOP OF HAVANA.
Thousands of Starving People ON
stOwed-Views of Gen. BlancO.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-A dispatch to the
World from Havana says: Tell the Amer
lean people that 1 will be glad to receive
and distribute food, clothing and medicines
that may be sent by them for the relief of
the suffering thousands in Cuba" Senior
Santander Frutos, bishop of Havana,
gives this message to charitable and SYM
pathetic people of the United States. The
bishop of Havana is the head of the Roman
Catholic Church of Cuba. He appeals di-
rectly to the people of America. He does
not recognize religion in this hour of terri
BILE need. The common bond of humanity
makes strong his faith that his cry will be
heard. The bishop will distribute the relief
to the starving Cubans, and it would be be-
yond the powers of belief to think it prob
able that Spain would interfere in his work
of charity
1--WE are utterly unable to cope with the
restitution of the reconcentrados," contin-
ued the bishop. For example, our clergy in
Santa Clara city have seven thousand hun
cry ones. What can they do for so many?
Here in my house we give food to about
two hundred applying children brought by
mothers We have 1900 registered. We give
them corn meal, milk and medical attention.
We give them all we have. From every
part of my diocese come reports of hunger
enough to wiring your heart 1 am glad to
know Americans are interested in the fate
of the reconcentrados They surely need
assistance. This charity is broader than re-
ligion," said the bishop. 1T is beyond the
distinction of creed.
For correctness of detail nothing can ex-
coed the parish reports now in the hands of
the bishop. They cover the part of Cuba
held by Weylers men. They are figurative-
ly written in blood and punctuated with
tears. Arrangements Will be completed as
quickly as the Catholic bishops of the
United States signify their willingness to
receive contributions. 1t is to them that
the bishop of Havana looks. Anybody can
give, but it needs the powerful aid of the
church to forward the aid The churches
will be the depots of the shippers as we'll.

Esterhazy,s Letter to PcIIieux.

NEW YORK, Dec. "a dispatch to the
World from Paris says This is the letter
Esterhazy wrote to General Pellieux de-
manding a trial:
My General-Being innocent the torture

than mortal can bear. l believe you have
in your hands every proof of the infamous
plot that has been got up for my ruin, put
these proofs must be produced and the
judicial examination must be as widely ex-
tended as possible so that the fullest hgnt
may be thrown on the matter. Neither re-
fusal to continue the investigation nor
proclamation of the fact that no true bill
can be found against me can now assure
to me the reparatiOn to which / am en-
titled. AS an officer publicly accused Of high
treason, / have the right to a court-martial,
which is the highest form of military JUS
tice. and only a decision emanating from

that in thorough spirit of fairness you
will send me before Paris court-martial.

NO FOREIGN AID WANTED.
BIancO Says Spain Will Take Care of
Cuba,s Starving People.

MADRID, Dec. 1.-THE minister for the
colonies, Senior Mora, has received d dis
patch from Marshal Blanco, the captain
general of Cuba, saying: Il have to-day
sent the following telegram to our minister
at Washington: There is no need for for
eign help to provide for the wants Of this
island or it's inhabitants. The government,
from it's own resources. is endeavoring to
provide for necessities the need of which,
moreover, is diminishing daily
The Spanish government it is semi-offi-
cially announced, has received the details
of the landing of an expedition in Cuba
from the American steamer Dauntless, and
it is understood the Spanish minister at
Washington, Senior Depuy de LONE, will
shortly present in this connection a claim
for damages from the United States. Com
mander Pillsbury, of the Vesuvius, has
written a letter to the Navy Department at
WASHINGTON detailing the movements of the
Dauntless, apparently proving that the
steamer has not been engaged lately in
landing fibustering expeditions in Cuba.)
The military club of Palma yesterday
gave a lunch in honor of General Weyler
the former captain general Of Cuba. The
military governor of Majorca was among
the guests When General Weyler entered
the banquet hall the band in attendance
played the royal hymn, and the general
stopping the music momentarily, proposed
a toast to the King and the Queen Regent
which was enthusiastically received.
The newspapers of this city are excited
over the mysterious words attributed to
General Weyler after he had prop osed the
toast The general is quoted as having said
so long as their Majesties are the heads OF
the state they will be the heads of the coun-
try and of the army.
The dissatisfaction among the officers of
the Spanish army here. which grew out of
the alleged too rapid promotion of an officer
of the Madrid garrison, and which led his
comrades to refuse to receive him, IS so in
tense that Colonel dHarcourt, whose pro-
motion TO the coionelcy of the Maria Chris
tina Regiment it now appears, was the
chief cause of the discomfort, has handed
over the command of his regiment TO the
senior major 1t is thought. however, that
Colonel d'Harcourt Will be given an equally
desirable place on the Queens military staff
The army officers continue to demand a
change in the system of promotion.

played in the minor league that season and
attracted the attention of Manager Comis-
key, of the st. Pauls. The latter got into
correspondence with Frank Selee, of the
Bostons, regarding the release of Slagle. In
July Selee wrote TO COmiskey and stated
that he could have the release of the field
er as soon as the sum of $3.50 was paid into
the hands of President Young. Comiskey
accepted this statement as a contract and
some time later sent his check for the
amount to Washington, the headquarters of
the league, President Young having been
furnished with copy of Selees letter to
Comiskey, at once forwarded the money to
the Boston team. A little later ComiSkey
received the information that Slagle had
been sold to the Kansas City team. In the
meantime Slagle, having been advised, by
Comiskey that he had secured his services,
drew for salary on the ST. Paul manager
and received the sum Of 1925, the amount
that was due him. Now Comiskey says he
has neither player check nor money.

Blood Poison and Insanity.

While the fullest credit should be
given to the staff of this important in
stitution (the State Institute of Pathol-
ogy), it is but fair to state that the
study of toxaemia in connection with
insanity is by no means a novelty, nor
is it the discovery of the enterprising
young gentlemen CONNECTED with that
establishment who have been credited
Herewith. Over decade ago Solomon,
Regis and others recognized the toxic
origin Of mental disease, while no less
than ten others, among them Herter
and Smith, have written extensively on
the subject. Perhaps most credit
should be given to DR.. Allan McLane
Hamilton, whose paper on "Autotoxis
as Cause of Insanity" was read before
the Medical Society Of London in May
last, and noticed in your London letter
a short time subsequently. In this pa
per, which contained much original re.
search, the connection between toxae-
mia and insanity was fully shown

grained paper. After the paper has
been cut to a pattern, the different
parts are sewed together and hemmed
and the places where the buttonholes
are to be formed are strengthened with
calico or linen. The stuff is very strong
and at the same time very flexible. A.

hours it will interfere with the trans
piration of the body no more than do

tear it by hand it presents almost as

Worlds Supply Of Cotton.

According to the best sources of in
formation, the worlds supply of cotton
in 1895 aggregated 100000 bales, or
1886, 900 900 pounds. OF this immense
crop 1O,50O.000 bales were produced in
the United States; 100000 in India
and $4,000 in Egypt. The remaining
bales were produced in the various
parts of the globe. In different coun-
tries different standards of measure
ment obtain, and in no two countries
is the weight of a bale of cotton exact
ly the same. The American bale aver
ages $50 pounds, the Indian bale 400
pounds, and the Egyptian bale I'll
pounds. Some idea of the vast extent
of the worlds cotton area may be gath
cred from the fact that in the United
States alone it covers over 10000, 900
acres. In 1880 the worlds total output
Of cotton aggregated only 636,000,000
pounds or eleven times less than in
1896. Within a single decade, however,
the product almost doubled, amounting
in 1910 to 1892, 100000 pounds. Since
then the worlds product has been as
follows: 1891 ,OOO, 600 pounds in 1860,
4,039. 000, 900 pounds in 1880, and $780,
DOC, 1000 in 1895. From these figures
some idea of the vast importance of the
cotton plant as a factor in the worlds
growth and progress may be obtained.
