70 ARMS!! TO tRMS!
Manifesto Of the Captain
General of Cuba.
Spaniards in Cuba EXhorted to
Defend the Honor of Spain.
Vigorous DenunciatiOn
of United StatoS.

Gazette publishes an extract of the
following manifesto:
"The general government Of tie Is
land of Cuba to the inhabitants
of Island of Cuba;
"'Vithout any reason or legality,
without the least offense on our
part, ard at a time when they
received from us only proofs of
friendship, the United States are
forcing us into war just at the
moment when quietude began to
settle over the country, when
production was fourishing, COM
merce taking courage and peace
approaching, with the cooperation
of all classes and all parties under
the new institutions granted by
the mother contry.
"such a proceeding is without
precedent IN history. 1t evidently
manifests the bogus politics
of the Republic, demonstra-
ting the tricky plans and
purposes that have always
been no urished against Spain's
sovereignty in Cuba, which the
enemy has been conspiring for
nearly century to destroy. Our
foes now carry their hypocrisy and
falsehood to the extent of demand
ing immediate peace in a wal
provoked and srstatained by them
selves; her prudence and
moderation have been of no avail
10 Spain, though she has carried
her concessions to the extreme
limit of toleration in order to
avoid rupture.
''She still deplores this state of
affairs. but she accepts it with all
the energy inspired by a glorious
national history and the pride CT
her people-a pride which will
never yield to the strangers haugh-
tiness nor consent to see Spain's
right and reason trampied upon
by a nation of nobodies. If the
United States want the Island OF
Cuba let them come and take it.
Perhaps the hour is not far distant
in which these Carthagenians OF
America will find their Zama in
this island of Cuba, which Spain
discovered, peopled and. civilized
and which will never be anything
but Spanish.
"It is our turn to have the honor
of defending her, and we will know
how to do it with decision and an
effort many time put forth. !
count upon you for this with
absolute certainty.
I believe there Is no sacrifice you
are notprepared to make in defense
of the na tional territory. Whose
integrity is sacred to all spaniards,
of whatever origin, I am sure that
every one in whose veins runs
Spanish blood will respond
readily 10 the call which, in these
solemn moments, I address to all,
and that all will group themselves
around me to contribute as much
as they can to repel foreign
invasion, without allowing dang
ers, sufferings or privations to
weaken the heart or courage
"To arms, then, fellow country
men to arms! There will be
place for all in the fight. Let all
cooperate and contribute with the
same frmess and enthusiasm to
fight the eternal enemy of the
Spanish name, emulating the ex-
ploits of our ancestors, wha always
exalted high their country's fame
and honor. TO arms! Cry &
thousand times, Viva Espana!
Viva el Rey, Alfonso XIII! Viva
la Regente! Viva cuba, always

"A Cord of Wood.

Few persons comprehend the produc-
tive capacity Of accord Of wood. Chem
ical experiments are occasionally de-
veloping new USES for wood in matters
remote from it's ordinary adaptability,
and the feature that is exciting a great
deal Of interest just now is the trans
formation of wood products into LIQUIDS.
Although under the strongest kind of
pressure avood yields scarcely any mois-
tuse, by5aeans of heat wood will evolve
gases and Aiquids Of marked potency and
utility. In converting wood into char
coal gases and smoke arise which can be
condensed into pyroligneous acid. 1t is
estimated shat there is fully IS per cent
OF this acid in given quantity Of wood,
and from it are extracted wood alcohol,
:acetase Of Lime and wood tars. The al
cohoa thus abtained rs said to be a very
satisfactory substitute for grain alcohol
for mechanical and manufacturing pur-
poses, and it can be produced at less
than one7thind of the cost of the grain
alcohol.
Investigations conducted with prac-
tical objects in view have disclosed
these interesting facts: A cord Of wood
which weighs 1900 pounds will yield
about 1850 pounds Of ,pyroligneousaeid
and 700 pounds of charcoal; the acid
will produce about 8 gallons of 80 per
cent crude wood alcohol, about 25 gall
Ions Of tar and fully 400 pounds Of see
tate of lime. These facts indicate fu-
ture for wood outside of the realm Of
fuel and pnlp.-New York Times.
