No Attempt Made on His Life-Why
He VIII Not Exchange Hobson.
Havana, June 23.-There is absolutely
no foundation for the report published
In the United States of an attempt to
assassinate Captain General Blanco by
member of the volunteers whose
brother it was alleged had been shot
for completely in a plot against the
government. General Blanco enjoys
the esteem of all classes in Havana, in
cluding the volunteers, and is regard
ed with the utmost confidence as the
representative of Spanish sovereignty.
That he has no fear of assassination is
shown by the fact that he often rides
out without escort.
Complete tranquility reigns in Ha-
vana. The greatest confidence is felt
that the Spanish forces will success
fully cope with the American soldiers
There is great enthusiasm among the
troops and volunteers, who are all
anxious to fight against the invaders.
Captain General Blanco denies that
he has decided that there shall be no
exchange of prisoners with the United
States. At the same time the captain
general says that he cannot allow the
exchange of Lieutenant Hobson and
other members of the party who sailed
the Merrimac into the mouth of the
harbor at Santiago de Cuba for the
reason that the lieutenant and his
companions had opportunities for see
ing the harbor and it's defenses. The
most common prudence, the captain
general says, would forbid that these
men he now given their liberty as pro-
posed by the United States.
Captain General Blanco added that
he had not forbidden the approach of
vessels bearing flags of truce, but had
only ordered that no vessel be permit
ted to approach within six miles of the
shore so that it be made impossible
for officers of the United States to
make drawings of or inspect fortresses.

Tha Chimnanzna Eats Animal Food.

Few people are aware that the large
chimpanzee so popular and well known as
Sally in the geological gardens was not in
frequently supplied with animal food.
which she evidently consumed with great
satisfaction 1t has been observed also
that the gorillas and chilnpanzees in the
geological gardens at Berlin have mark
ed preference for animal food, of which
they enjoy small proportion. AS above
noticed, their organization indicates that
while they are certainly mixed feeders
that is, obtain their food from both the
animal and vegetable kingdoms-they
have been accustomed to consume a larger
proportion of vegetable matter than is
usually adopted by man.
And, lastly, having regard to the evil
dencc which inquiries into prehistoric rec
ords of mans life have revealed, as we'll as
to our knowledge of his existence since,
with what we have learned respecting the
habits of savage tribes of recent date, it is
impossible to doubt that his diet has long
been mixed one Among the last named
class we know that certain quantity OF
animal food is always greatly priced as
welcome variation from the roots and
fruits which must doubtless have largely
contributed to sustain his daily life.

As to Noses.

What is the standard of nasal beauty?
Men are proud of their aquilincs, but they
forget that stern and portcntous beaks
failed to save Rome. They swear by their
straight Greek noses, needless of the fact
that Che once warlikc Hellenes are today
weaker than sucklings The Tartars, who
have no noses to speak of, thought the
wife of Genghis Khan the lovcliest woman
in Asia because she had only two holes
where her nose should have been. The
women mostly admired by men Of today
have pug noses. When Cary sang the bald
heads held out their arms to catch her
for, with her ''nez retrousse" elevated over
the footlights she seemed in the act of
springing into their embraces Mirabeau

A SPANISH DREAM.
Expect Linares and Ceryera to De-
feat Our Forces.
PROLONGED BATTLE PREDICTED.

Further Talk of the Queen Regent of
Spain Soon Resigning the Regency.
Seeking Mediation From Her Royal
Relatives and Friends.
London, June 23.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of The Standard says: Gel
Heraldo De Madrid says that the gov
ernment suppressed the chief part of
the dispatch of the governor of Santi-
ago de Cuba General Linares) de-
failing the forces. means of defense and
provisions at his disposal. The impress
sion In political and military circles is
that important news is imminent from
Santiago. 1t is generally expected that
the Americans will attempt bonn
bardment of the first line of defenses
at the mouth of Santiago bay stimuli
taneousiy with the landings to outfiank
the Notifications, if silenced by the fire
of the fleet. Then, if successful, they
will move forward with the assistance
of the insurgents for decisive strug-
gle at the second line of defense in the
interior of the bay, where the Spanish
fleet may be expected to cooperate
with the defenders.
THE resistance is likely to be Sc
we're and prolonged. Indeed, the Span
ish naval and military authorities are
hopeful that General Linares, with the
garrison and the volunteers, recently
considerably reinforced, may be able,
backed by Admiral Cervera, to repel
the Americans. who would then be in
a precarious position on the most un-
healthful part of the coast. Santiago is
provisioned for several weeks, and the
authorities have taken possession of all
the stores. The submarine defenses of
the bay are, moreover, of a formidable
character.
The Berlin correspondent of The
Standard says: THE queen regent has
privately caused those sovereigns who
are her relatives to be directly sound
ed, and those whom she regards as
friends to be indirectly sounded. as to
whether they are willing to mediate,
but the stage of diplomatic negotia-
tions has not yet been reached, and 1t
is very doubtful whether it will be
reached for some time to come.
'"The semi-offieial Post hears from
Antwerp that persons commissioned by
the Washington government to enlist
seamen on neutral soil are said to have
enlisted more than a thousand German
sailors for the American navy and the
auxiliary cruisers. This would explain
the difficulty German captains have
experienced of late in manning their
ships
The Vienna correspondent of The
Daily Telegraph says: All the infor-
nation that reaches here from Madrid
proves beyond doubt that the posi-
ton of the queen regent has become
altogether untenable and that her ma
jesty will resign the regency within q
very short period. 1t may prove feas-
ible to establish a regency council un-
der arrangements for the existing
dynasty, but according to present in
dications this appears questionable. Ii
well informed quarters here it is be
lieved that the next defeat for the
Spaniards will upset the conditions
prevailing in Madrid where the situa-
tion is already extremely confused"
