GOut Diet.

At a recent meeting of the Royal
Medical and Chirurgical Society in
London. DR.. Luff read an interesting
paper on the minerals of vegetables,
with reference TO govt. The general
conclusion arrived at from his inves-
legations is that the minerals in spin
ach. Brussels sprouts, French beans,
winter cabbage, turnip tops, sturnips
and celery are all beneficial TO a equity
person. Their minerals act chemically
in preventing the deposition of equity
matter in the tissues, and spinach is
said to occupy the foremost place in
the list in respect to this action.

FILIPINO RULERS SPLIT.
Unable to Agree on the Imposition of
Taxes.

Unable to Agree on the Imposition of
Taxes.
MANILA-The Filipino Congress is
engaged in the consideration of the
question of raising funds to defray the
heavy expenses of the maintenance Of
the rebel army, pending decision by
the Paris conference. Hitherto the
army of the Filipinos had been chiefly
supported by public subscription, but
now the native government contem-
plates the imposition of various taxes.
The inhabitants of the northern pro-
vinces, especially of Pampang and Ilo-
cos, fatty refuse to pay land or poll
taxes because it was the popular i'm
preston that the revOlutionists would
abolish taxation entirely.
The natives of Pampang and Pangas-
vinces of the island, and those of Ilo-
eos and Zambales, who are the sturd-
lest mountainers, distrust the Tagals
and insist upon the establishment OF
an American protectorate.
Yesterday the Assembly debated the
question of land tax. A majority OF
the members were oppose to the main
tenance of a burden unequally distri-
buted and unduly favoring the Tagals,
and demanded that a statement of ex-
ipenditures be submitted before the
matter was decided. The statement
was not forthcoming and the question
was shelved.

AN ENDLESS CHAIN.
Dimes Pour Into the Navy Depart
meHt TO Build n BattIeship

The endless chain fad has become
nuisance in official quarters, and steps
are beng taken TO discourage it.
Last week Secretary Long was annoy
ed TO find that some one had, without au-
thority, started a chain of dimes with
the avowed purpose of raising sufficient
funds to build a battleship TO replace the
Maine. He ordered the contributions re-
turned. with d request that the chain be
broken, but the matter was not so easily
disposed of. Letters with dimes enclosed
continued to pour in the number trebIed
every day, and the already heavy mail of
the Navy Department was almost dou-
bled. The chain is not yet broken, but by
the expenditure several dollars in stamps
and many dollars worth of time and trou-
BILE, its proportions have been consid-
erably reduced.
The War Department has been troubled
similarly. Chains for every conceiva BILE
purpose are being started from all parts
of the country, and it is difficult mat
ter to break them, once they have got
headway.

THE COMPANY MAY DISBAND.
Friction in the Sixth Massachusctts
May Have That Result

Boston, Mass, Aug. 1.-THE colored peo-
pie of Boston suspect that the presence
of the company of their race in the Sixth
Massachusetts, Regiment, and the per-
sistent refusal of Col. Woodward to al
low its transfer 10 orc of the bodies Of
entirely colored troops. were the chief
matters of controversy between the reg
imental and brigade officers. The resig-
nation of their colonel, they believe, will
be followed by the disbandmcnt of their
company faf
From letters received, it appears that
Gen. Garretson had several times at
tempted to separate the colored company
from the regiment, and each time was
checkmated by Col Woodw lrd. The first
time that the separation was tried Gen.
Garretson hinted to Col. Woodward that
If he found himself Inconvenience Ey
the presence of the ocolored company he
would see that change was irade.
I'VE all left Massachusetts as the
Sixth Regiment replied Col. Woodward; :;
I'VE will fight together, and If any re-
main We will return intact as the Sixth
Massachusetts,, just as our Sta-e ex-
poets us to dos %1
Not long afterward, 10 she surprise of
the officers of the Sixth, Company L
was detailed to do outp1st duty with
the Ninth Ohio, three company battal-
ion composed of colored men under Me jor
Young, a colored West Point graduate.

reason or other Company L was not call

GARCIA,S CAMPAIGN.
He Is Said to BE Marching Against
Gen LuOue

He Is Sa1u 10 he ms oAhSs
Cen Luque.
According TO reports that are being re-
ceived from Gen Garcia he is meeting
with great success in his independent
campaign against the Spaniards. Those
Cubans who have been applauding his
attitude are, therefore, correspondingly
happy.
The latest news from the Cuban COM
mander is to the effect that he is prac-
tieally in control of the country to the
north of Santiago. So firmly has he
established himself that the Spanish gen
eral at Manzanillo has asked permission
to march with his troops from that place
to Holguin at the same time requesting
Garcia to promise that his men will not
be molested by the Cubans. Garcia is
said to have magnanimously granted the
request.
AT Holguin it is reported that Gen.
Luque is still stationed with several
thousand men, and should he be re-en-
forced by the commander from Man
zanillo he will have quite formidable
force Nothing daunted, however, Gar
cia is pushing forward toward Holguin
and a desperate battle is expected in that
vicinity. Garcia is said to be confident
of his ability to rout the Spaniards and
take the town. Many of the Spanish
soldiers are deserving and Joining the
ranks of the Cubans and this fact has
much to do with Garcia's decision.
{ The victory of Garcia at rMayasi was
complete The loss of the Spaniards was
decidedly heavy In both killed and
wounded. The number of prisoners who
fell into Garcia's hands is said to have
been large.
