The Causes of Cancer.

There are few diseases that afflict
the human family that are more to be
dreaded than those of cancerous
nature. The cancer proper is most
appalling foe to life. Whether it can
be cured is and always has been a
debatable question. Cases are cited
where alleged marvellous cures have
been effected but this does not to any
appreciable extent alter the facts in
the case that the cancer is practically
incurable once it gets any sort of
headway in the system. The causes
of this disease have been so Imper-
fectly understood that any effort at
prevention was worse than useless. A
French scientist claims to have dis
covered cancer germs in wood and
that artisans who work in wood are
much more subject to this disease, all
things considered, than those who
handle most other materials. Having
once started on this line of research,
he found cancer germs in wood and
vegetation of various kinds. Elm
and willow trees showed a greater
proportion of these germs than other
woods. In high attitudes or where
trees are not common very few cancer
germs were found. From all of which
it appears that we may be at last on
the highroad to some reliable and
conclusive knowledge upon subject
which has baffled the skill of medical
scientists for many years.-Mew York

Plans at Santiago.

Washington, July 20.--A general out
line of the future work Of the Santiago
forces has been semi Officially stated
at the war department.
The plan contemplates having Gene
raj Shafter remain at Santiago until
the Spanish forces have withdrawn
from the surrendered territory and en-
barked for Spain. This will about COM
plete the work assigned to the general
and he will be allowed to return to the
United States. Who win succeed him
in command is yet a matter of specula-
tion, all of the senior officers being IA
vorably spoken Of for the cammand.
General Shafter, 1t is thought, can
complete his work in about a month.
The work of the Santiago army
however. is not finished. If present ar
rangements are carried out, the army
will. for a time, encamp on the high
hills in the vicinity Of Santiago. After
complete rest, operations will be re-
sumed. This contemplates the occu-
patton of any important Spanish posts
in the vicinity, the examination OF the
roads, repairing and extension of rail-
roads and the establishment Of bases of
supplies.
The movement, It Is understood, will
be made in the direction Of Havana, al
possible measures being taken to iso-
late that city. From the outlook at
present, however. 1t seems that this
army will see much more important
service.
The occupation Of Santiago proper II
is generally believed, will be assigned
to two regiments of immunes.

New Postal Regulations.

Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith has put in operation several
changes in the postal regulations.
Hereafter, while the postal card will
continue to be sold, it will be lawful
to use cards with a one cent stamp
affixed for the same purpose. These
cards must be approximately of the
same shape and color as the postal
card. When these mailing cards are
sent to foreign countries the ordinary
letter postage must be affixed.
Another change in the regulations
prohibits the return or forwarding of
second. third or fourth class mail
matter until additional postage has
been affixed. When it is obvious,
however, that valuables are contained
in such packages, the sender shall be
notified, if possible. On second class
matter one cent for four ounces must
be paid before it will be returned or
forwarded.

GERMANY NOT HOSTILE.
Dewey's Dispatch Saying No Change
Had Occurred.


Washington, July 20.--At yesterdays
cabinet meeting dispatch from Admi-
raj Dewey was read, stating that there
was no change in the situation at Ma
nila.
1t was the opinion of the members
of the cabinet that he report of strain
ed relations between Admiral Dewey
and the German admiral Is without any
foundation in fact. This is indicated
by the fact that Admiral Dewey's dis
patch was taken to Hong Kong by a
German warship.
Both the president and Secretary
Day are said to have assured the cabi-
net members that nothing of an aggra-
waiting nature had occurred at Manila
between the Americans and Germans.
1t Is not stated officially, but there
is good reason to believe that either
through Ambassador White at Berlin
or the representative OF the German
government here, the state department
has received assurances as to the atti-
tude of Germany toward the Philip
pines that have removed the grave
apprehension heretofore entarteined
that Germany would offer obstacles to
the execution of our plans.
1t may be that they are based upon
facts communicated by Admiral Dewey
as to messages between himself and the
German admiral in the Philippines, for
1t is known that for politis reasons the
navy department withheld from publi-
cation a large and important section
Of Dewey's last cablegram received sew
eral days ago.
The reported negotiations between
the insurgent leader, Aquinaldo, and
the Spanish captain general, Augustin,
have not yet been reported officially to
our government.
