The Virgfnius affair.

The city of Santiago and the dun
geons of Morrow Castle specifically tell
of the great crime against humanity
perpetrated by Spanish officials in No
veInber, 1878, when Captain Joseph Fry
of the Virginius, and thirty six of his
crew were tortured, murdered and mu-
tilated under orders of the then butcher
who occupied the Governor general
ship of Cuba, General de Rodas, an in
famous successor of others of like ilk
and predecessor who found an apt
imitator in General Weyler.
The story of virginius, is the regula-
ton story Of Spanish treachery and in
humanity. In effect, reduced to out
line, it is this: The virginius, in com

PHILADELPHIA'S SINGING APE
The Valuable Attraction Recently
Received in That City from the
Region of Siam.

One of the most valuable and most
interesting arrivals in the ZOO now be-
longs to the ape family and is some
times spoken of as a Gibbon ape. His
scientific name is Hylobates Agilis, and
the natives in his own country call him
the wou-wou. The Gibbons are distrib-
uted through the eastern part of Asia
and on some of the large islands of the
archipelago. This one came from near
Siam. He is dark gray in color, his
fur as soft and smooth as velvet and
his little round head has sort of
tufted crown of longer hair encircling
it. His eyes are very large and bright
and he is lively in his movements.
So far as intelligence goes, the Glib
bons are less noted for brains than
several other species, the hinder lobes
of the brains being utterly undevel-
oped. but they have an extraordinary
amount of animal cunning. They are
very hard to capture, and the one in
the zoo is the only one in the world,
so far as is known at present, in cap
tivity. Superintendent Brown is now
writing an article descriptive of its
habits.
The distinguishing characteristic of
this specimen is that it is the only ami
NAL in the world which can sing. Its
full musical notes range in semitones
through an octave or more, and in ascend
ing and descening the scale they are
perfectly taken. Darwin says: "This
species is generally much excited after
it's performance, and it is probably dur
ing courtship that it utters its most
musical sounds" But the poor, lone
some little fellow out at the ZOO has 40
one to court, and yet he sings his little
solo over and over again for the bene-
fit of his keeper and anyone else in hear
ing with plaintive little melody that
is quite Observation-Disclosures Times.

Antiau1,x of the Protocol.

That instrument called protocol
which stopped the war between the
United States and Spain, derives its
name from very ancient times. Like
many other English words derived
from other languages, protocol" has
long since lost its original meaning
1t is derived from the Greek "protos,' .
meaning first, and "kollan," meaning
glue, and meant originally sheet
glued in front of manuscript, bear
ing the writer's name and other par
ticulars. From this the meaning
evolved into that of rough draft of a
document, and was 30 used by the Ro-
mans, who called it "protocolium.' u
The definition of the word as used in
modern diplomacy is given as rough
draft on any document or document
preliminary to some transaction. 1t
is likewise defined as "a diplomat doc
ument or minute of proceedings signed
by friendly powers in order to secure
certain diplomatic ends by peaceful
means" 1t is the meaning given be.
fore the last that must be applied to
the instrument signed by Ambassador
Cambon and Secretary Day. This is
a preliminary instrument created to
secure peace at once, and is at the
same time a rough draft of the prob.
able future agreement. = Chicago
