special to the Chronicle says: From a
source high in the foreign Office it is
learned that the republic of Hawaii
has assured the British consul general
that in case the action of the Hawaiian
government in offering herself as an al
ly to the United States should result in
the bombardment of Honolulu, any
damage done to English property or
interests would be paid by this govern
nent. 1t is also reported that the Ger
man consul general, learning of the
matter, demands the same guarantee
for German merchants. The Hawaiian
government has not as yetgreplied.

ONE MORE CUBAN CABLE TO CUT
DESPERATE EFFORTS TO SEVER
THE LAST LINK.
No Easy Matter to Find It at a Depth
of Mile, and Difficult to
Raise 1t.

Washington, June 25.-The island of
Cuba, to the best knowledge of the Off
Gals here is still connected with the out
side world with only one cable save those
crossing to Key West, and the war de-
partment, through General Greedy, is not
relaxing it's efforts to cut that last link
This runs into the island at Santiago,
crossing from Kingston Jamaica. and be
longs 10 an English Company. For sew
eral weeks past it has been known that
this cable was in working order and the
st. Louis has been trying desperately 70
c,lt it; In addition the cable steamer
Mancel is to be assigned to the task and
between the two il Is hoped that the caDle
will soon be cut. The difficulties in the
way of accomplishing this are much
greater than in the case of any of the
other Cuban cables. The Kingston cable
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-06-26

was laid fully 20 years ago and has be-
come covered with barnacIes and marine
deposits until its original size has been
increased to that of a mans arm In ad-
dlt1on TO that the cable is completely
covered With sea weed so that it is al
most impossible for the ordinary gran
ping irons used by steamers to catch
hold of it. unless they should strike the
cable at some point where it hung over a
depression in the bottom. Even when
caught in the graphing irons. the caOie
IS OF such weight, owing to the marine
deposits upon its surface. that il would
be almost beyond the power of any lifting
apparatus on board an ordinary shin to
hoist ii to the surface from the vest depth
in which il lies. On the south coast of
Cuba. within a mile of shore the bottom
pitches suddenly downward to the depth
of more than mile. and il is exceedingly
difficult TO pick up a cable in such water
General Greely's boat has done this on
at least one occasion. and thereby earned
the admire ton of the professional cable
layers who are often engaged for weeks
at time in the Atlantic trying TO raise
an injured cable. The last cable was
pulled up al depth of one and one-siXth
miles from the surface. and its weight
was enormous Probably il will be easier
to reach this Santiago and Kingston
cable after the batteries and forts lining
the harbQr entrance and just above have
been reduced. for then the cable cutting
boat will be able to go into shoaler water
near the shore from which it is now ex-
cluded by the fire of the battery.

Chicago. June 25.-J. NJ Vargas, the
former Mexican consul in this city is
the recipient of a significant letter from
Havana. The writer is a relative of Mr..
Vargas. and an officer in the Spanish
army, connected with the judicial
branch of the service. The communica-
ton contains the assertion that the
Spanish have not more than 14O rounds
of shots for each cannon in and around
Havana. Bread in that city, according
to the writer, has risen to three times

AhstemiOnsncss at Night.

A writer in Italia Termale declares it as
his opinion that many persons who remain
thin and weakly, in spite of all precautions
in regard to diet, etc, owe the fact largely
to habitual abstemiousness at night. The
digestive organs, he asserts, have no need
quantity Of nourishment taken within the
twenty-four hours does not go beyond the
normal limit-the fact that the intervals
between meals are short working no in
convenience, but, on the contrary, tending
to the avoidance of feebleness, which is
the natural result of an interval extended
to too great length. Further, according
to, this writer, feeble persons, those also
all, such as are sufferers from insomnia,
owe it to themselves not to retire with
out taking. some nourishment into the
stomach, such as simple bread and butter,
a glass Of milk, a few biscuits or crackers.

Healthy Instincts.

Every. individual has either inherited
OF acquired a manner of living composed
of habits, to which he or she gives very
| little thought. 1t iszto these that ISwould
direct your attention, rather than to the
grosser habits which have been the theme
of moralist and preacher year in and
year out.} Examine your hab bits of eating,
for instance. The process of taking food
| at regular intervala through the day has
become habit. The amount Of food that
you take is regulated more by habit than
by judgment. The human animal has
healthy instincts to begin with. To. prove
this, think Of how many things one eats
that the liking for has come only through
persistent education Of the palate, The
taste for olives, lines, pickles, beer and
many other 'thingsswhich do not increase
the bodily health is: only formed after
process of education. People get in the
| ha bit of eating much more than they
need. The many and rich courses Of a
dinner lead them to do this. Others eat
whatever is before them, not because Of
appetite, but because it is within, reach;
SO with drinking: Many people take
great quantities Of bread with their meals
in this absend-min1pa manner and grow
stouter than Is good for. them So they
continually drink water. = The kind Of
|: food one pfefers is much more, largely a
matter Of habit than one realizes. / have
known those who, through long use of an
inferior kind of coffee at boarding house
table, preferred that to any other. So in
TIC matter Of having food hot or cold.
gertaln@swellss and springs yield water
lmpregnated with mineral waters. ~ At
FIRST the taste is very disagreeable, but
+ afterwards the taste for it is acquired.
and only that kind Of water satisfies the
thirst: Clothing is also a matter Of habit.
The kind, the thickness, the amount of
clothing, depend for comfort largely on
what one has become accustomed to.
Space forbids my ella borating the subject
az It might be along these lines, but you
Will be both interested and amused to

the gun it has been impossible to thread
more than one-half of the screw. This
