RELIEF FOR THECUBANS

NEW YORK, March 21.-A dispatch
to the Tribune from Havana says:
The Spanish inquiry into the Maine
disaster has gone to pieces in seeking
to establish the accident theory. This
admission is privately made in govern
ment circles. The nature of the
boards report will not be changed.
The explosion will be charged 10 un-
known causes, but the Spanish finding
will be with view of making case
to be passed on by third party.
The work of the Spanish divers has
not been thorough. Apparently they
have found so little evidence on which
a theory of internal explosion can be
based that the Spanish court is not
willing to stand unequivocally on the
theory of accident, which iG set out to
maintain. The facts have been known
for three or four days. They may ac-
count fo- the statements from Madrid
that the Maine incident will not be a
cause of war between the two coun-
tries, and also hints at arbitrating the
dispute on the question of facts.
This talk is semi-official. The Span
ish recognize the improbability OF sue
cessfllly con troverting the case which
will be presented when the report of
Captain Sampson and his associates
on the American board of inquiry is
published. They have had an inkling
that the evidence on which the ex-
ternal explosion due to foul play will
be charged. is meant to satisfy. not
simply the American people, but the
judgment of experts throughout III
world. How strongly this conclusion
of the American board is fortified will
soon he known.
The enc received from Madrid is tc
have counter case ready, so a sus-
pension of the worlds Judgment can
be asked until diplomacy can arrange
a satisfactory settlement. The evil
dent hope of Blanco's government is
to keep the Maine incident entirely /
distinct from other Cuban questions
Notwithstanding this lack Of conf.
dence in their own theory of accident,
it cannot be learned that the author !
tiles are doing anything to uncover
the conspirators who are responsible
for the blowing up of the Maine.

NEW ZEALAND DOGS.
Remarkable Intelligence shown
the Auimnla.

Remarkable Intelligence Shown ky
the Animals.
New Zealand is a country that delies
largely upon the labor of dogs as op-
posed to the toll of men, says the New
York Mail and Express. A man with
several dogs, trained one and all to q
proper pitch, can cope with the duties
of large number of men without dogs
in any work that is purely pastoral.
Last year sheep dogs were an impor-
tant tfactorin the care of 16 6,OOO, 900 sheep,
which produced so,0OO,OOo pounds of
wool. The dogs are almost as great
sight as the sheep on the four annual
events of mastering, named respective
ly shearing muster (November), strag-
glers' muster february, weaving
muster (March) autumn muster (May).
The muster of every sheep on the run
Is imperative, and those are rare excep-
tions where less than four musters are
deemed sufficient. A muster is arranged
on recognized lines. AS nearly as pos
sible the men work in line, within sight
of each other. The top man drives the
sheep gradually down to the man below
him, who passes them on till they reach
the man working the flats. There is no
precise rule, as each man can keep his
mob of sheep till the beat is mustered.
All this time the dogs have been work
ing in every course on the beat, not en-
masse, but each in his own sphere, as the
shepherd commands. Should he have
half dozen dogs they would comprise
two heading" or leading" dogs, two
driving" or "huntaways" and two
handy" dogs. The "handy" dog is
dog able to turn its attention with
equal exactness to anything. There Is
little erring; cnce his education is ac-
his owner can depend upon
him in any crisis. The dogs used In
this colony on sheep farms are selected
from Scots and German collies and the
smithfield sheep dog, and vary as much
In size and class as they do in price. A
dog fitted for the capabilities of small
farm could be purchased for q sovereign,
while men who are in residence on back
country stations of 100000 acres re-
peatedly pay from 6 10 to ELS for their
fancy.

FOR BICYCLISTS.
How 70 Exercise During the Win
ter Months.
A Necessary Course to Preserve Mus-
eular Development and Good
Health-A Simple
System.

Every wheelman and wheelwomnn
will soon be confronted with the un-
pleasant necessity of laying aside his or
her health-giving steed and lapsing back
into that sluggish condition which
comes to those who do not exercise.
What must be done is for the cyclist to
find u substitute for the exercise which
has freshened his blood and given him
ruddy cheek and healthful body. This
problem is one which has excited the
keenest interest among cyclists general
ly, and Prof. NJ. j. MacLevy, a New
York instructor in physical culture, has
demonstrated that the accompanying
suggestions will bring about desired re-
suits in remarkably short space of
time.
It Is q well known fact that during
the past season 80 many cyclists have
built their systems up by the use Of the
wheel so that to stop cycling al at once
would be almost injurious. Itwould be
like morphine fiend suddenly deprived
of his drug. The reaction would be
more than he could stand. By following
q few simple rules there is no reason
why any rider should not keep in condi-
ton.
Physicians state that the lungs of
cyclists have many more cells in active
operation than those who follow pure
ly sedentary life. To this end it Is very
important that the chest development
be maintained. Let the cyclist raise the
windows of his sleeping apartment top
and bottom, about half foot each,
thus affording the free circulation of
air. 1t is best that no tight clothing
be worn during this exercise, which
chest out, head up, and, while stand
ing on the same spot, let the limbs move
al II running, only, Of course, make no
progress. Although every muscle used
when cycling is not brought into play
in this exercise, most of them are. Care
should be taken not to overdo this exer-
else the first time, as over-exertion is in
furious. Each day the exercise can be
increased until one can, to all intents
and purposes, scorch 20 miles without
moving an inch.
In order to develop the calf muscles
and those of the thigh which are not
brought into play by stationary run
ming, one should sit in a chair and have
pound dumbbells strapped to the shoe.
Place the foot horizontal with the thigh
and keep this movement up for five
minutes. The muscles will be found to
be much benefited by this exercise. The
duration of the exercise can best be
judged by the cyclist from the fatiguei it
actuates.
Now stand upright, and. throwing
the shoulders back, abdomen well In,
raise on the toes. 1t is we'll to count
the number of elevations and increase
the same gradually till about so or 60
can be done. Next the cyclist should
take care that his joints do not suffer
stiffening by assuming what Is known
as the hip-toed position, and by hopping
on both feet at once. The joints will be
benefited.
A patent is very good thing for the
person owning it, but every cyclist has
in his own possession means for eaer.
else that never have been and neverwill
be patented. but which, after all, are the
best Enquirer.
