Banana Short Cake.

Banana short-cake is a dish the mate
rails for which are usually at hand. and
it is. therefore, one that may be written
down in the emergency notebook. The
formula as put out by the Boston Cook
ing school requires the dough to be made
by mixing in Il pint of prepared flour two
a cup of milk or enough to make a light
mixture that can be handled. This pas
try is divided, half put into a pan. the top
huttered, and the second half laid upon
it, When baked the splitting OF the CAKE
is easily accomplished with knl1e;
Meantime few bananas are cut up ana
put in a hot syrup made of a cup of sugar
and the juice of one lemon. This filing
is spread between the layers; and II the
dish is intended to be particularly tooth
some ana elaborate whipped cream may
be served with it.

DON'T GO II BLIND.

Have you ever read a newspaper

on and found it ended up with a pro-
prietary medicine advertisement? Made
you mad didn't it? And We're you con-
WINGED of the merits of the article? We
think not, because it told the experience
of some stranger in a far off town and
to take his word for it was like going

Mutilation OF the Dead.

| TO the newspaper reports of the f1rSl
skirmish between the American ma
rines at Guatanamo and the attacking
force of Spaniards, in which the bodies
were horribly mutilate is added the
official testimony of Admiral Sampson
in his brief report to Washington
Their bodies were mutilated baAbar-
ously," are the words of the official dis
patch, and they send a thrill of horror
through the whole civilized world. 1t
is another count in the awful indict-
ment against Spain. To the murder Of
| 100000 reconcentrados and the assas-
sination of 266 American sailors, is adj
ded the unspeakable crime of mutilat-
ing with machetes the bodies of four
Americans shot in battle.
Such an inhuman atrocity shows the
latent savaSery in the race we are
fighting, and makes it a matter of con-
graduation that thousands of the SOL
diers we are sending to Cuba have had
experience in Indian warfare. The
mutilation of the dead in battle is a
relic of the darkest ages of the worlds
history, and shows in its true light the
place Spain holds among existing ma
tons. Such a brutal outrage may
well be regarded as placing the opera
tons of the Spanish outside the pale of
civilized warfare. This the "chivalry"
of proud" Spain that has been win
ming sympathy from European senti-
mentalists. Even the arms of the
pagan Turks We're borne through the
recent conflict with Greece unstaned
by the slightest infraction of the code
which Christian nations observe in
their effort to relieve war of all bar
barous excuses. From the Caucasian
race the Spaniard stands apart.
The fact concerning this mutilation
of the dead might well be made the
subject OF representation to the powers
as a violation Of civilized warfare We're
it the policy of this government 70
recognize the interest OF any foreign
government in this war Such repre-
sentations are not likely to be made,
however, as this government does not
intend to invite foreign intervention in
any way. nor 10 give any excuse for il
to be offered. The knowledge of the
savage methods adopted by the Span
ish will merely serve to regulate our
OWN conduct and as a warning that we
cannot rely on civilized methods from
a barbarous soldiery. which during the
protracted struggle Of the Cubans for
Independence has Whetted its appetire
for blood by the murder of women and
children and defenseess OH men. /;
comes as timely warning. There VIII

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK MARKET.
The Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, June 15.-Spaculative OBJ
servers who argued that the two days
reaction in the stock market has been
due to apprehension Of the effects Of
LIQUIDATION consequent upon the col
lapse Of the wheat deal were disap-
pointed, today. The pressure on the
market from that source was practi-
cally all removed by the announcement
that the enormous holdings Of cash
wheat owned by the defeated wheat
Spectator had been taken over by
powerful financial interests, who would
be able to save it from being sacrificed
at forced sale.
The course Of prices was downwards
in a rather dun market. Extreme de-
clines of point or overw were registered
in most OF the active stocks during the
day, but the paucity Of offerings dis
lodged by this very considerable reac-
ton argues that there is no great
amount Of weakly fi1argined specula-
tive holdings hanging over the mar
ket. On the other hand, there were
signs that the short interest in the
market was considerably extended.
Sugar was the center Of interest and
dropped persstently until the last,
closing only X above the lowest at a
net decline Of over four points. The
bill was the motive ;issign-
cd fer the selling. The stock was
traded in ex-dividend. The embarka-
ton Of the army OF invasion for Cuba
adds to the possibilities OF a setback in
the campaign, which would also hurt |
the stock market if it were to occur |

credit The same thing is also said in
behalf of the Republicans in Congress.
They have stood as one man in sup

worthy and patriotic desire to sink
partisan politics SO far as necessary
war legislation was concerned: but
there are others, including some of the
more prominent Democratic leaders,
who appear to have been chiefly gov

seize every opportunity to gain a parti-

administration and its supporters, as
well as Of their own patriotism. There
have been enough such men. and they

sagacious Democratic politicians in
Washington, to have destroyed already
any hope or prospect that ever eX-

Two months ago the Democratic
leaders were absolutely confident OF a

the speakership had already begun to
lay wires for the caucus nomination.

Democratic confidence has given place

agree since the oregon election. that

to prevent the Republicans from re-
turning bigger majority to the next
