THE SELFISH BRAIN.
How 1t Robs the Stomach and What
Follows the Robbery.

How 1t Robs the Stomach and What
Follows the Robbery.
According to De Quincy. the supreme prize in
life is the union Of fine intellect and healthy
stomach Why this combination Of blessings is SO
rare is eIsy to see. The brain is selfish and the
more active IT is. the more blood it takes from
the stomach. That the stomach may need the
blood for the digestion Of a tough. irtractable
dinner makes no difference to the brain. Hence
so many clever men are more or less dyspeptic,
and some Of them say, with Alexander Pope, my
life is a long disease"
The whole bodily machinery Is thrown out Of
kilter by diserdered stomach. Sedentary habits
nervous stress and strain and careless living make
matters worse. Doctors agree on some things,
popular proverb to the contrary. notwithstanding
They agree that the best medication for a feeble
stomach is q stimuiant free from any Of the thou
sand and one m,sehievous substances that make
50 many liquors" dangerous.
! The king Of medicinal stimulants is DuYy's Pure
Malt Whi5key, which you can obtain from grocers
and druggists. 1t is Immediately beneficial In
cases Of impaired digestion, for it promotes the
secretion Of gastric juice and expands the net
work Of tiny blood vesssls In the stomach SO that
the rich blood fills them
You can get rid of that stuffy, heavy after
dinner feeling II you use Duf1y's Pure Malt
Whiskey.

After hearing Engineer Parietts tes;i-

The ages of the negroes were evidently

-liaTruIy Spanish.

The resignation and farewell address
of Blanco must make Hobson yearn
for him. The hero of the Merrimac has
trouble in getting air bags OF large
enough power, and Blanco would float
a Noah's ark.
There is a serious side to the bonn
bastic proclamation OF the Havana
braggart, which, under any other gov
ernment, would subject him to court
martial. Besides the childishness Of
its tone that reveals the perennial In
efficiency of the Spaniard, there Is q
form of treason that is mischievous.
Instead of accepting the responsible
ties of his position and meeting defeat
like a man and a soldier his address
implies a censure Of his superiors and
is intended to and must cause disanec-
tion among his soldiers. In order to
win a little cheap glory after falling
to achieve any honors from his war
against the ragged insurgents, VINO
drove him hatless into the very streets
Of Havana, he assumes that his pro-
fessed ability to defend single block
AIDED port against the Americans justi-
fies his nation in keeping up a war In
which it has not gained a single VIC
tory.
Worse than causing his troops to
condemn the government is his attempt
to prejudice the Spanish loyalists in
the city against the Americans. under
whose administration they must live.
This malignity, which imperils the fu-
ture Of the Spanish residents by en-
couraging their hatred and fear of the
Americans, Is distinctly Spanish. and
is an added proof that a race SO pusr lie
and uncivilized should cease to act
with the great powers of the world. 1t
is entirely in line with the spite Of
Sagasta. who has said: I'VE have, at
least, the consolation, amid our misfSr-
tunes, of knowing that We have in
Cuba and the Philippines bequeathed
to the United States almost insur-
mountable obstacles, which, for many
years to come, it will be in our power
to render still more formidable. should
it be our policy to do So
Here is the keynote of Spanish char
acter. 1t is easy to see, after reading
such sentiment, why Spanish admin
istration has been a curse to her colo
nies. Here is no sense of responsibility
for the welfare of the immature people
Spain has oppressed and robbed; no re-
gard for their future. but suggestion

Report of the Red Cross Surgeon o.

came from Cuba in charge Of the Con-
cho, was received by the Red Cross So
ciety yesterday, AMI will be transmitted
20 Major Lagarde the chief surgeon OF
Gen. Skaters army, to whom it is d.
rected. The report. which is in the form
of a letter to Maiio- Lasarde. starts with
the statement that while there was not
proper accommodations for the 80 pa
tients and AS convalescents originally or
dered on board The C"ncho. many more

otherwise. with fewer to attend, the sup
ply of medicine and nourishment would
not have so rapidly decreased, and more
care could have been given to the indi-
yidual cases To this cause was due. as
I have said. the insufficiency of blankets
and mattresses The other hardships, TO

either to the exigencies of the situation

TUESDAY, AUGUST ls, 1898.
Manila Ours.

As the fall of Manila was not wholly
unexpected, there was little disposition
to discredit the report in The Evening
Times of yesterday that the place had
been bombarded by Admiral Dewey and
assaulted by General Merritt. There
would have been an earlier attempt
but for the absence Of troops, on the
arrival of which, Dewey said, the
music would begin. sr- ss
The fact that Manila is ac-
tualIy in American hands must
strengthen our position in rela-
ton to the future of the city,
perhaps of the island and possibly of
the whole group. In reply to the SEN
timent that we should not relinquish
anything gained by the blood of our
soldiers and sailors, it was said by
those who oppose the retention of the
Philippines that we had not taken any
part of that territory, although there
could be no doubt of the result if peace
had been delayed and the pro-
gram carried out. Now, however, if
the city is ours, the fact must have
great weight in the decision of the
question.
Aside from this, there is enough Of
human nature in the men of the army
and the navy to cause rejoicing over
the event. 1t is a question whether
Blanco or Augustin is the champion
braggart. 1t was certain that if Ma
nila escaped capture by the interven-
ton of peace, Augustin and the Span
iards of Manila and elsewhere would
forever misrepresent the situation and
revile our arms for inability to over
come a hungry. insurgent-badgered
Spanish force. The peace commission
ers on behalf of Spain would have
made the most of our failure to seize
the capital. No matter what the Presi-
dent and his representatives on the
commission may determine, the posses
sion of Manila is worth very much
more than it can have cost in lives.

While 1t is true that there are fewer
men left for the yellow fever to attack
at Santiago. the very great reduction in
the number OF new cases is encouraging.
Instead of seven hundred. which was The

one hundred and twenty-nine on Sunday

More Proof of Defects.

If there should be no earlier thorough
investigation into the defects of the
medical service at Santiago, Congress
and, If political partisanship can be
excluded, will locate the blame. The
assertion of Surgeon General Stern
berg that the complaints were made
only by the newspaper correspondents
is disproved by the testimony of COM
missioned officers and Of wounded SOL
diers, of Red Cross nurses and agents,
of at least one foreign military Obsefv-
er, and of the wife of the commanding
general of the army. The statements
of the newspaper correspondents med
ed no such support, as they were all
in agreement in this matter, but since
it is customary to break the force OF
such charges by saying they are mere
newspaper gossip, it is as well that
there should be other proof.
1t should be- understood that no
word of blame has been spoken against
the work of the surgeons in the field
hospitals. There were too few of them
and they lacked supplies and there was
no system under which the wounded
could be carried from the field. But
once the men who were shot down
crawled their painful way to the hos
pitfalls they were cared for with great
skin and tenderness. The few sur
geons who performed operations and
dressed wounds did their part, as well
as the men who came under their
charge, which Is the highest praise
that can be spoken. Thanks to the
resources Of modern surgery, most of
those whose stroke was not instantly
fatal had and have the most favorable
prospects of recovery. There has not
been q single instance OF blood poison
ing among the thousand or more OF
wounded men whose injuries were
treated by the surgeons. and not case
