ADMIRAL MONTIJO MURDERED.
Said to Have Been Killed by Spanish
PopuIace After His Defeat.

London, May l0.-A special from
Shanghai says it is reported that Admiral
Montiio was killed by the populace after
escaping from Cavite.
Massacres are said to have occurred
outside Manila, the insurgents killing
Spanish women and children.
An Example of Treachery.
Hong Kong. May lO.-A French exam
pie of Spanish treachery seems to have
come to light. 1t is said here that the
priests and sisters of charity of Cavite
hospitals. in a procession bearing crosses,
etc, petitioned Admiral Dewey not to
massacre the sick and wounded, which,
naturally he did not do.
The Spanish, it is asserted, thereupon
thanked the Americans for their humani-
ty and repaid them by informing them of
narrow channel which they said was
not mined, while the broad channel, they
explained was fully mined. Investiga-
ton on the part of the Americans reveal
ed the contrary to be the case, and the
mines were blown up by the sailors OF
the American fleet.
Dewey, it is said here, finds the insur-
gents growing dangerous. 1t is added he
can not control them, nor can he enable
the Spaniards to do so. There is one
japanese warship at Manila.

Altitude and Phthsa...

have spent considerable time in travelling in the Catskills, Adirondacki
 and the Rocky mountains, investigating
 with some care these localities, with
 their varying attitudes above sea level and their influence upon the lungs, and,
 while perhaps a high and dry and light. CT air may Do beneficial in some diseases and for its influence upon the general health, l do not believe that it has the slightest effect upon the growth an pro- liberation of the tubercle bacillus itself. In this opinion am heartily confirmed by the judgment of many able and care fnl practitioners with whom l have most earnestly oonversed, and l repeat that altitude has DO influence whatever in destroying the tubercle bacillus.
 A considerable experience with this disease has led me to believe that no place is better for its treatment than New York city Patients have come tc me from every state in the Union, from Canada, from the Sandwich Islands and from Europe, and it appears to be the general belief among them all that the climate of New York city, with its clear air and bright sunshine, is quite as favorable under all circumstances as Is that of most other localities l have under my care at this time patients from several towns in Colorado, from New Mexico and California. and all are doing better in this city than in their own localities --Dr. Hubbard winslOw Mitchell in New York Medical Record.

The Los Angeles Times, with i
 usual enterprise, is now running in
 its Sunday Magazine section. q fine
 translation of the hitherto inacces-
 slble diary of Father Crespi. the
 Franciscan friar, who, with a party of soldiers, made his first journey through California in I769. This famous diary is the accurate record Of that tour of exploration, during which sites were selected for ina missions and for the pueblos, which have since become the leading cities Of California. Its discovery and translation supplies most important part Of the early history of Cali fornia, which were buried among the archives of the Catholic church and which might have been forever lost to the world but for the forum ate discovery which led to its trans latiOn for The Times. Those readers of The Times who care to preserve the series of magazines m which the dairy was printed, will find that they are ID possession of a most and interesting historical record of the beginning of modern California.

THE CUBAN PROBLEM

The Phenix Herald says that, two
 parties. one composed of Spanish,
 and Cubans who are Spanish sym
 pathizers, and the other of Amercan
 speculators are now working to-
 gether and using all the machinery
 available to influence public opinion
 in the United States against the
 Cubans. It says that it is mainly
 through their agency that the
 various reports are prepared and
 circulated diserediting the Cubans
 and representing them as blood
 thirsty, revengeful, half civilized,
 uneducated rabble, totally unfit for
 self government" While such in fuences may be at work it is doubt
 ful if they can be able to exaggerate
 the real character of the Cuban.
 Almost every letter received from
 our soldiers in Cuba. contain the
 statement of the utter worthlessness
 and ignorance of the Cuban. His
 ideas of liberty and independ- ence are permission to pillage and
 loot. The Cubans never were en- titled to any sympathy from the United States except as they were subjected to the most outrageous and cruel treatment at the hands of the Spaniards. As a human being he was entitled to sympathy, as a Cuban he was no better than his oppressor. The very crimes and brutalities complained of against the Spaniard would be committed by the Cuban when opportunity itself. What the United States should do with Cuba Is to form a stable government there con- t-olled by the United States and te1ch the Cuban the art of self gov srnment, as well as educate hIm out of the barbarous methods and practices instilled into his mind by ais former ruler, the Spaniard. The ,ivilizing influences ofthe American people sh )uld be brought to bear Ipon him so that he may learn the I rue principle of government in the abstract as well as that of self gov .rnmeni.
 After a tutelage of this kind Tor bout a quarter of a century, the Iubans should be fully prepared to .oYern themselves. and it might hen be safe to turn the reins of government over to them. But by hat time they would discover that heir condition under the rule of the Jnited States, was such that the 1ea of an independent government I'll have lost its charm for them.
 The situation there, briefly stated, hen, Is that the Cubans are Incapa> le of self government. Before hey are capable of it, they must be ducated to it. When this is ac- they will realize that heir interests lie in being a part of he United States, and will no lon CT desire an independent govern ( lent.
