CALLS ASSEMBLY OF CUBANS,
Purpose Is to Indicate What Course
Shall Be Taken.


Shall Be Taken.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sept 16.-The
council of the so-called provisional
government of the republic of Cuba,
represented by Senor Bartolome Mas
SO, president; Cisnero Capote, vice pres
ident, and Senor Fonte, Senor Aleman
and Senior Moreno De la Tore. secre-
taries, met at Santa Clara on Septem-
Der 1 and formulated a manifesto to
the Cuban people, with an order to the
military commanders of the Cuban
army, both of which have been pro-
mulgated. The manifesto, which is an
elaborate document, touches on the
history Of the movement for Cuban in
dependence and principles upon which
the Cuban people have fought for their
liberty. 1t proceeds, in part, as fol-
lows:
"The people of the United States
have all along appreciated the fact
that the majority of the people of Gu
ba are in agreement with our princi-
pies; for the motto of the United
Srates government has been the same
as ours-absolute independence for
Cuba. Under these conditions, the
Americans could not take hostile at
titude toward US or consider our au-
thority illegitimate and harmful to the
welfare of the Cuban people.
These considerations have con-
vinced us that we should not dissolve
and that the powers we have received
from an assembly elected by the peo-
pie under arms should not van
ish On the contrary, we feel that
we should remain as nucleus and
guide for those who have vested such
power in US We have, therefore, de-
cided to call together another assem-
bly, which will determine our future
course"

STATE TO SELL LIQUORS.
Governor EIlerbee, the Dispensary Candi-
date in South Carolina Ia e-EIected

COLUMBIA, S. c.. Sept. 1s.-Governor
Ellerbee, the dispensary candidate for
governor, is probably reelected by a
majority of nearly 1000 over Feather
stone. Featherstone's strength is not
altogether from the prohibitionists,
but largely from opponents to Eller-
bee, who are dissatisfied with his adj
ministration. Senator Tillman's SYM
pathy was with the present incumbent,
though no active support was given.
The defeat of Eller bee would end the
dispensary system in the state.

Spanish Cruelty.

The cruelty of the Spaniard, or rather
his callousness, his recklessness of the
lives Of others, and even Of his own, is
medieval and oriental survival, says
Irving Babbitt in The Atlantic, and
then, too, there underlies the Spanish
temperament know not what vein of
primitive Iberian savagery. Nine
d'Aulnoy relates that Oh certain day
of the year it was customary for court
gallants to run along one Of the main
streets Of Madrid, lashing furiously
their bare shoulders, and when one of
these penitents passed the lady of his
choice among the spectators he bespat-
tered her with his blood as special
mark Of his favor.
Insensibility to the suffering Of ami
mails, though general in Spain, is not
any greater so far as my own observa-
ton goes, than in the other Latin coun-
tries. Possibly medieval religion in so
exalting man above other creatures, in
refusing to recognize his relation to the
rest of nature, tended to increase this
lack of sympathy with brute creation.
The Spanish peasant belabors his ass for
the same reasons that Malebranche kick
ed his dog-because he has not learned
to see in it q being organized to feel
pain in the same way as himself.

Slow Eating May he Bad.

According to The Journal Of Mental
and Nervous Diseases, slow eating is
as bad as fast eating. "The important
point is not that we eat slowly or fast,
but that when we do eat we chew with
energy. OF course where the haste is
due to some mental anxiety this may
injuriously inhibit the secretions. Slow
eating begets habit of simply num-
bling the food without really masticat-
ing it, while the hurried eater is in
clined to swallow his food before proper
mastication. Hence hurried eating is
bad, but rapid mastication is advan-
tageous 1t concentrates our energies
on the act in question, and hence more
thoroughly accomplishes it. Moreover,
energetic chewing stimulates the secre-
ton of saliva in the most favorable
manner. These various points are so
commonly misunderstood, at least by
the laity, that they demand our fire.

waiters and waitresses.

Talking OF mattresses, New York
hotel keeper says that although they
may possess some superior qualities for
such service there are, ON the other
hand, such drawbacks as make it GER
tain that they would never be accept
able to the majority of men who would
have to be served by them. He says:
81 think tho objection to them would
be based chiefly on the fact that they
never show especial attention to any
person. / never knew woman who
waited on man to trouble herself in
the least aboat the manner in which
she served him. 1t makes absolutely no
difference whether they receive liberal
tips or not. They may be quiet, neat
and quick, but they would never pick
out one piece of beef because it was
better than another or make any effort
to get the best Of what was to be had
in the kitchen. That sort of attention
makes man worth his fee to the men
who tip him.
1t is this special service that makes
waiter superior to the best of his as
sociates. Women never detect any diff
ference between the quality of one dish
and another. They are all the same,
and good service requires merely that
they shall be set down noiselessly and
brought quickly. There the service of
the waitress ends She can beat any
man at those features of the business.
But she cannot select for him anything
better than the rest of the customers
get. Usually she does not notice any
difference in them. That deficiency is
the safeguard of the waiter and will
keep his place secure for him."

New York, March 17.-John p. Hol-
lands submarine torpedo boat proved
herself a success this afternoon. The
craft made dive beneath the waters of
Staten Island Sound, ran a quarter of a
mile, completely submerged and rose to
the surface again. This feat, the con
structors of the boat said proved her
value as a naval vessel, as she demon
strated her ability to approach hostile
battleships unseen, protected from the
fire of the heaviest projectiles by the
water. Armed as she is with a torpedo
tube and two dynamite guns, she would
be a terrible antagonist. The Holland
left the dock of the Raritan Dry Dock
Company, at Perth Amboy, at . o'clock
John p Holland was in command, and
stood in the little coming tower direct
ing the operations of the boat.
The Holland ran five miles on the sur
face until off Sewaren. Then, when car
rying 500 pounds of ballast, Mr. Hol-
land clamped down the top of the turrct
and by turn of a lever threw the hori-
2ontal diving rudders down.
Those watching saw her strike her
nose down into the water like q porpoise
and then disappear all but the tiny flag
SlaHS, winch rose from DOW ana stern
and from which flew the Union Jack
and the Stars and Stripes. Except for
the tops of these poles projecting a foot
above the water there was nothing to
tell where the boat was.
Four feet of water covered the top of
the coming tower. She made gentle
swell, and there were a few bubbles, but
] these could not be distinguished half a
mile away. The boat ran swiftly for
300 yards, and then came to the surface
She ran on the surface for a mile and
once more dived. This time she contin-
ued under water for a distance of a
! quarter of a mile which was covered
! very quickly. " hen she reached the sur
! face again Mr.. Holland stepped out on
| the deck and received the congratula-
! lions of his friends. He said that the boat
! had behaved splendidly and had respond
/ ed to every movement of her rudders
! She is designed to run fifty miles I'M
/ der water and to be capable of navigat-
ing to a depth of 100 feet. She carries
/ compressed air to supply the crew for
six hours under water, and her electric
storage batteries will carry her for fifty
miles at twelve knots submerged.c5s
Government test of the boat, will be
made on Saturday. Her torpedo tubes
and dynamite guns will then be tried. If
/ the boat proves all her designer claims
she will be taken over by the Govern
/ ment.

Hunting Forty-five Cents.

tfTOm hOulu ldDle.J
Bookkeeping has been reduced to such
an exact science in the big metropolitan
banks that the clerks are expected to
strike a correct balance at the close of
each days work, no matter if the trans
actions run into the millions of dollars.
When the books fail to balance the whole
force of the bank is put to work to dis
cover the error, and no clerk starts for
home until it is discovered whether 1t
amounts to 2 cents or $1,000. Generally a
quarter Of an hour will bring the mistake
to light, but sometimes the hunt Is kept
up until late into the night.
Such a search was being conducted in
a New York bank, located In the vicinity
of Wall Street Forty-fve cents were
missing. At o'clock not trace of the
errant sum had been discovered. Dinner
was sent in for the whole force from an
adjoining restaurant, and after half an
hour rest the search was again taken up.
Midnight came but still no clew, so sand
witches and coffee were served.
Hello said a clerk, the Blank Ma
tional people are working tonight, too
Guess they're in the same box"
Sure enough, the windows of the bank
across the street were brilliantly lighted
The incident was soon forgotten, when
the wearying hunt after that elusive 4;
cents was resumed. Shortly after ! o.
clock in the morning. as they We're about
to give up for the night, a loud rappinl
was heard at the front door of the bank
Hello, hello! What's the matter?'
called the cashier through the keyhole.
Matter you chumps why, we've go
your blamed old 40 cents! Come alonl
home to bed,'
Outside stood the crowd of clerks from
the neighboring bank. 1t appeared that
in making cash transaction one of III,
banks had paid the other 45 cents to,
much. As a result half a hundred mel
had worked for nine hours and the soarcl
was only ended then because a brigh
