To heredity, 10 the transmission oil

Of life might be expected to be that OF the

Of feature, exeeutricitics of speech and
manner, birth marks, etc, are handed
down just as surely as manual dexterity,

and the mental and moral qualities IN
general. A curious example OF this de-
scent Of family traits Is furnished by Mrs.
Maggie Pickett, Canton, Ca, In whose
family gray hair was hereditary. She
writes:

Unable to Cope With Situation--WII-

Madrid, May 12-11 P. Nit is said
that Senior Moret, secretary for the
colonies, and Senior Gullon, foreign
minister. have resiged Admiral Ber-

Hiquena, minister of public works, are
also said to have resigned
1t turns out that Admiral Bermejo.
on learning CT the. Cavite disaster, told
Senior Sagasta that he must resign ow-
ing to the delicacy of his position.
though he felt that he was not re-
sponsible for the state of .he defences
Of Manila. Senior Moret pleaded weari-
ness and Count Niquena illness.
Recording to the latest forecast the
new ministry viii consist of Senior
Sagasta as president: Senior C. Groi-
sard, minister of Justice in the dissolv-
ing cabinet, minister of foreign af
fairs; Senior Aunom, minister of ma
rine; Senior Romero C;iron, minister of
justice; and the Duke of Veragua, the

The new cabinet will probably be
constituted Saturday. The general
opinion is that it viii endure until the
budget is passed and collapse at the
first opportunity afterwards. The
changes however, are pacific in ten
dency, Senior Gullon having been the
most warlike element in the dissolv-
ing cabinet.

day, by British Steamer Menantic.

New York. May 12.-The British
steamer Menantic which arrived here,
this morning, reports that two torpe 10
boats We're passed near Nantucket
shoals, yesterday. Captain Mann said:
About l o'clock on the morning If
May II, in lat. a. 30, lon. 6S. long low
lying craft was seen approaching I'M
der the shadow of the Menantic' {;
smoke. It came along rapidly and was
seen to be a torpedo boat.
She flashed a light on US and crossed
under our stern going to the east,
northeast. and fired a rocket which
was answered to the southwark by dot
and dash flashes. The night was too
dark to distinguish anything or deter
mine the nationality of the strangers.
AT daylight about 20 miles east of
Nantucket south shoal lightship an
other torpedo boat was seen in the line
of the sun which dazzled the water too
much to make out her colors. She was
one of the destroyer class of torpedo
boat catchers and a very large vessel
with one funnel
Guns We're mounted on the bow.
She appeared to be one of the recent
English type of torpedo destroyers AMI
! am sure there is no such vessel of her
class in the American navy"
The Menantic ran close to the light
ship on Nantucket and reported TIL
presence of the torpedo boats.

for Our Warships.

salem. \. j.. May 12.-Whilc unload
ing a car Of coal at one OF the glass
factories in this city, today, the work
men discovered large can Of dyna
mite. An investigation has developed
the fact that the lot Of coal from which
this can was taken had been purchased
by the government, but was not used
at once and the coal company bought
il back for use in filing rush orders.
There is a suspicion that the placing Of
the dynamite in the coal was the work
e Spanish spies at the mines, This is
the second can of dynamite that has
been discovered at the factory.
