The Eighty. Eighth Anniversary of His Birth and Twentieth Anniversary of His

ROME, March 3-The twentieth anniversary of the coronation of Pope Leo XIII was celebrated yes terday. His holiness, who was in excellent health, received the con- gratulations of the high prelates in the throne room replying in a stong voice. He recalled the demonstra- tons and protested against the out rages aimed at this enthusiasm which had been allowed committed, adding that 1t was painful that the aspirations of the faithful towards Rome, the sacerdotal metropolis and depository divine oraeles, should be wilfuIly misrepresented. But, con- tinued his holiness, in order to con sole the papacy, for these outrages God had increased the love of the multitude for she papacy in Rome and throughout the entire world.

now on it's way from Kingston an Eng
lish ship loaded with provisions which Will
reach the southern coast within few
hours.
If these are the facts. as Robinson's
story seems 10 indicate, the blockade IS
not effective in any sense. Havana GER
tainly will not fret because ships cannot
sail directly into her harbor if food in
plenty can be brought in by the back
door
The general comment of these critics
is that the two months blockade mas
been without avail, utterly. and that as
far as Havana is concerned its position
is far better now than when war was
declared.
There are, however. many Administra-
ton people who believe that Robinson
and similar writer's on the subject of the
blockade are writing to fill space, with
out any real observation on which to
found their statements. 1t Is suggested
that, apparently, from his story Robin
son can have been at liberty in Havana
only short time. There is much in
dignatiOn over the man who walks
through the streets of the town half an
hour with officers of the enemy, and
then essays TO give accurate descriptions
of its conditions.

FOOD FOR THE CUBANS.
The Government Preparing a Great
Relief Expedition.

The unpleasant conclusion is forcing
itself upon the Administration that while
most probably the spaniards in Cuba may
be fairly well supplied with food, despite
the blockade, the Cuban reconcentrados
unquestionably are in a far worse condi-
ton than they were at the beginning of
the war. which was waged estensibly en-
tirely for their relief.
1t is understood that at last a great
expedition for the relief of the Cubans
and to furnish fresh food TO the American
Army In Cuba is being arranged. and will
be sent out as soon as transports can be
secured.
A week ago the War Department issued
proposals for bids for fresh beef to be
delivered in Cuba. The proposals stated
that the beef was to be furnished in two
forms. frozen dressed beef and beef on
the hoof. 1t was to be delivered at sew
eraI points on the Cuban coast to be de-
signated by the department. These pro-
posals were sent by telegraph to several
contractors.
1t is understood now that not only large
quantities of beef but of other provisions
are TO De Snlppeu NlllIliI Il Lew uSlS . ~
Gen. Shafter and TO points on the north
ern coast of Cuba, where they can be sent
TO the Cuban army and the reconcentra-
dos
One chief base of supplies is TO be
established on the north coast where
communication can be had with the Pinar
del Rio division of the Cuban army. This
will not only serve as base for the
supply of food. but also for future mill
tary operations, it is said.
1t is stated that now for the first time
since the beginning of the war, the COM
missary department of the War Depart
ment is in a position TO supply an expe-
dition. Heretofore all the efforts of the
department have expended in the great
work of supplying the new American
armies The department now has the
situation fairly well under control and
has reported that it is willing TO under
take the relief expedition.
The present estimate is that upwards OF
3. 200 600 rations can be sent TO the Cubans
in addition to the supplies for Gen. Shaf-
ters army.
No date has yet been fixed for the ex-
pedition, as far as can be learned of,
owing to the difficulty in securing trans
ports, but it is hoped that a part of the
relief may be sent at the same time as
the second Santiago expedition of 1900
troops.

Inventors and men with ideas or i'm
provements' are as thick as the fabled
leaves OF Vanom5rosa around the War
and Navy Departments these days. Ey-
cry varying phase Of the Cuban campaign
brings TO Washington new crop Of Gu
rious contrIvances. all calculated to work
reforms or revolutions in the existing or
der Of things. Some Of these are wise,
bur the majority are otherwise. Many of
them show an ingenuity and inventive
spirit that are worthy Of better results,
while not a few exhibit an imagination
thar would put a Jules Verne or an Alex
andre Dumas 10 shame
One genius proposes TO dislnfect the har-
bor Of Havana 10y means Of electricity and
all other places where ships are anchored
so as 10 make the surroundings more
salubriOus for our sailors. The Navy De
partmeut promptly declined this offer.
Not content with sending in the air pho
dograph apparatus another genius wants
the Navy Department 10 let him build
kites big enough 10 carry up soldiers who
can make observations Of the seat OF war
a South Carolina man has a plan that
rivals the best efforts OF even Jove him
self He has asked Secretary Long 10 let
him hurl thunderbOlts at the Spanish fleet
and destroy them by manufactured light
ming Of tremendous voltage. The scheme
has the merit Of originality, ar least. This
modern JoVe proposes TO conduct the cleo
tric5ty 10 the Spanish armada 10y means
Of searchlghts- He would transmit an
electrical current of a billion volts upon
the rays Of light, and the several search
lights would then smash the Spanish ship
into smsthereens. This offer as also been
declined.
Boston genius has Secured the atten-
ton Of the officials 10 a new invention
which is intended 10 revOlutionize signal
ing AZ sea An electric light throws mag
nihed letters Of the alphabet on great
screen, which can t0e read at sea many
miles. This invention has some good
points and may be adopted by the Gov
arnmeng later on.
II remained for a New York man to
give Uncle Sam a point or two in safe
guarding his navy. The Gothamite's plan
is TO construct huge funnels on the sides
of the ships, so that when the enemy fires
his guns, the shots can be caught by thsse
tunnels, pass through, and go out at
the other side, without doing any dam
age at all
Another way 10 lessen the effect of the
enemy's broadsides and make them prac-
ucally harmless is suggested by a South
eTner DE wants the government to put
cushions Of India rubber back of the ar
NOR plates, so that the shots will re-
bound like tennis balls from a net
genius from the Empire State. after
studying the present system of docking
vessels, proposes now to otfit all the ships
Of the navy with stills! He would at

lift themselves, but actually dock

Offers of furnishing armor-proof suits
The times., 1898-06-19

Ohio writes 10 say that if the soldiers
would only wear powdered sulphur in
their stockings they would be forever free
from sickness of any kind.
Another woman from PENNSYLVANIA sent
the Government a small bottle of ONT
ment which she claims will ward off in
sects and bugs of every kind She even
went so far as 10 offer a prominent Off
cial part in the profits if he would get
the army and navy to use her prepara-
ton. - 5000
An old man of eighty years hobbled into
the War Department the past week with
a bottle filled with a turbid liquid which
he claimed was the most wonderful in
vention of the age. He said ii was a sure
cure for yellow fever, that he had never
tried il himself. but that he would like
10 have some young recruits upon whom
to test il. And he was only one of
hundred similar kind.
Even the astrOlogers are in evidence
They are sending horoscopes of naval and
army officers that discount the predlc-
tions of the Weather Bureau by a, large
majority Every one tries TO show how
he had foreseen Dewey's great triumph
and prophesied about Hobson's grand ex-
ploit. If the aggregated predictions OF
these worthless all come true the world
Will not contain enough pedestals to hold
the heroes of the present war If any
army or navy official from corporal or
coxswain to general or admiral has been
missed, have failed to note It.
The government is watching with some
interest the developments In regard to
liquid air, lately announced. Already sug-
Sestions are pouring in that 1t be used in
the furnaces of the ships, so that stokers
have a chance to keep cool and also
in the berths of the hospital ship and the
rooms of sailors below deck. As everybody
knows, this liquid air. produces, intense
cold so that you can boil water on a cake
of ice. II the new discovery has none of
the qualities of dynamite, it is likely to be
adopted very extensively by the govern
ment.
Another invention promises big results
This is nothing more-orless- than an inn
proved diving bell with searchhght appli-
ances intended to work down deep in the
sea. BY means of this It will apparently
be as easy to get around in the bottom Of
the sea as il is on its surface
One genius proposes to keep the soldiers
off the ground in Cuba, and thus prevent
fevers, by ropes stretched on poles, from
which are suspended llammocks The
scheme works beautifully; but if some
mean fellow should cut one of these ropes
a whole company, dreaming peacefully,
would drop to the ground at one clip and
think the devil had captured them.
Last Dut not least phe government Is re-
ceivinS no end of letters from "evange-
lists who regard the present war as a
work of the devil, and who want peace at
any price. These worthless say that the
proper way to settle Spain IS to send big
bands of missionaries to- Porto. Rico, the
Philippines and Cuba.
