drew Wilson. M. D.. in Harper.

Andrew Wilson, M. D., In Harper.
In our courts of law the question of dou-
BILE consciousness occasionally forms the
subject of legal deliberations. For a man
in his second self may commit a crime of
which he has no recollection whatever in
his natural state. He is, in other words, at
one time the Jekyll of his household, and
may be a loving father. a responsible citi-
zen, and a reasonable friend. Then, when
he lapses he becomes the Hyde of the ro-
nance realized TO the full. He may become
a vertiable villain, who will not stop short
Of murder if his unnatural propensities di-
rect his energies in a homicidal direction.
Yet he will wake up, all unconscious of his
wrong-doing, to resume his life as d peace
full man and sober citizen.
The interdependence of our social life is
aptly illustrated by cases of this nature.
The question of responsibility for crimes
committed under dual consciousness is one
of the gravest which law and medicine alike
can have to face and determine. 1t is not
without the bounds of reason to suppose
that our education in the story of the
brains byways may lead us, perchance. to
form judgments even of criminal acts more
consistent with mercy than have often been
delivered, and to regard apparently irration-
al offenses with charity which is none the
less real in that it is founded upon knowI-
edge of the weaknesses and irregularities
that beset the working of the brain.

Representative Mann, of Illinois, who has
taken active part in the Cuban agitation
in the House, said: IF the decree of armis-
tice proposes such conditions to be observed
by the United States, the decree is fraud
on its face If the President delays the
message on that account there will be
declaration of recognition of independence
by Congress by the middle of next week.
If any European power starts to aid Spain
it will result in war between the powers
of Europe which will mean a division of
China, and will be a conflict that will be
one of the greatest in history"
Mr.. Quesada, the representative of the
Junto in this city, said tonight: 'The
Cubans are glad to see their belligerency at

CORVALLIS had left all his stores at
Brunswick, and three regiments of foot and
three companies of horse at Princeton.
Thither then Washington was marching
that winter night He meant to strike his
superior enemy another blow at a weak
point. BY daybreak he was near Princeton.
and moved with the main army straight
for the town. Mercer was detached with 500
men to destroy the bridge which gave the
most direct connection with CORVALLIS
The enemy had started at sunrise, and one
regiment was already over the bridge when
they saw the Americans. Colonel Nav
hood at once recrossed the bridge, and both
Americans and English made for some high
commanding ground. The Americans
reached the desired point first, and a sharp
execution, but without bayonets they could
not stand a charge. Mercer was mortaly
wounded and his men began to retreat As
MANHOOD advanced, he came upon the main
scene of action. The new Pennsylvania mi
litia in the van wavered under the British
fire. and began to give way. Washington
forgetting, as he was too apt to do, his posi-
ton his Importance, and everything but the
fight, rode rapidly to the front, refined his
horse within thirty yards of the enemy, and
called to his men to stand firm. The Wav
ering ceased, the Americans advanced, the
British halted, and then gave way The
Seventeenth Regiment was badly cut up,
broken, and dispersed. The other two fled
into the town. made a brief stand. gave
way again, and were driven in rout TO
Brunswick. Washington broke down the
bridges and. leaving CORVALLIS, VINO llatt

stantly reiterated report from Madrid that
the Queen Regent might issue an armistice
proclamation. 1T is useless for u.s." said
Mr. Quesada, ITO reiterate again for the
thousandth time that we will not accept an
armistice and give up the advantages we
naturally possess in the rainy season. We
understand perfectly that Spain seeks only
delay. We will have nothing but indepen-
deace. AS a matter of fact. an armistice
is a Suspension of hostilities to be arranged
by the opposing generals General Blanco
and General Gomez would have to agree to
an armistice. Does anyone think General
Gomez would agree to suspend hostilities
just as we are about to win the great boon
for which our people have fought and strug-
gled so long? Besides, who is to take the
proposition for an armistice to General
Gomez? The Constitution of the Cuban re-
public and civil law absolutely forbid the
general-in-chief, under penalty of death, to
entertain or receive any offer from the
Spanish lines unless it has for its basis the
absolute independence of Cuba. Who is TIC
carry the offer? The fate of Ruiz is warn
ing of the fate which would await such an
envoy"
Mr.. Quesada has a letter from General
Gomez, under date of March 8, which shows
how hopeful he is of success and how, even
them he spoke of the utter futility of at
tempting negotiations with Spain. A por-
ton of the letter is as follows: This
province (Santa Clara, as Well as Santiago
de Cuba and Puerto Principe, is ours. The
enemy has departed, ceasing military opera
items and abandoning the garrisons and
forts which constituted its base of opera
tons. Days, weeks and months pass with
out a column of troops appearing within
our radius of action, which is of many
leagues. In the condition in which we are,
it is my opinion that what we need to end
the war quickly are cannon and great deal
of dynamite, so that we can eXpel them by
fire and steel from the towns. Notwith-
standing the opinion of the optimists, 1 adj
here to the idea that we will never make
Spain come to terms but in that manner
and that it is a loss of time and very dam
gerous to enter into any negotiations. We
must fight them vigorously and increasingly
in order to force what we will have, and
we will surely obtain it in time
