wEYLER ISSUES ANOTHER DECREE


Puts the Concentration Plan In Operation
In Two More Provinces.
A decree issued by Captain General
Weyler. dated Sancti Spiritus, May q,
was published here yesterday. He an
nounces the approaching commencement
OF military operations in the eastern part
Of the island Of Cuba, and orders the en-
forcement OF the provisions Of his decree
Of Jan. 80 in the provinces of Puerto
Principe and Santiago de Cuba, the or
ganization Of cultivation zones, the clos
ing Of stores in unfortified towns, the
concentration Of the country people, and
the destruction Of all resources which
are undefended, as was done in the other
provinces. The captain general gives
the people Of those two provinces one
month in which to comply with the
terms OF the decree, the time to begin
on the date of the publication Of the de-
cree in the various districts Of those
provinces.
The plague Of beri-beri continues to
ravish the province Of Santiagode Cuba.
Its rapid spread is due to the abandon
ment OF the sick poor. who had been in
trusted to the care of the municipal doc
tors, and to the great difficulty in OBJ
taing medicine from the city authorities,
There are municipal doctors who inhu-
namely allow hundreds Of the Door to
die without Offering them the slightest
assistance. Paper money continues to
depreciate. A centino, $3.50 in Spanish
gold, now brings 1854 in paper.

In This Connection It May Be

That an advertisement containing the
fewest words is often the most striking.
and that the most grammatical is not
always the most attractive. Common
sense and truthfulness should be
kept in mind. The ad that is the best
in all respects, the most striking, origi-
nal and most likely to carry conviction
with it, will win the prize. Competitors
will bear in mind tina: the "ad" should
be prepared as though it were to be
used in New York papers for the pur-
pose of attracting factories or residents
to Rock Island. The "ad" is to be what
is know as display advertisement in
other words one to be set in large bold
type to attract attention.

A correspondent Of the Lancet
Nays previously to the abolition Of
slavery there was very little .tuber-
culosis or insanity in America
amcng the negroes of the South
ern Statea, who were observed to
enjoy q remarkable immunity
from both affectiohs.i After
emancipation they appeared Ito
quickly lose this inainunity,*a and
at the present time are exceeding
ly susceptible to both. Formerly.
although in state Of s4ayery
they are said to have been well
cared for, compelled to lead order
ly, regular lives, and kept from,
dissipation and exeess. Freedom
removed these restraints, and
they quickly plunged into riotous
and vicious habits. A physician
who has investigated the subject
writes in q transatlantic contem.
porssry that "the rapid increase Of
| insanity and consumption of eau
ses and conditions. They HAY,
Developed a highly insane, con.
sumptive, syphiii:ic, and alcohol
ic constitution which predi.pose:
them to diseases they were form
crly free from. In this disturbed
and unstable condition they seen
to be totally unable to resist til,
! slightest excitement. Recent NOR
tality returns show that the dealt
r rate of the colored people from
f tuberculosis is three times as higl
3. as that of the whites. -, Still i
