as a breach Of neutrality and friendship. "
IL is pointed out that Spain certainly
has not abandoned the struggle for SUI
premacy i'm Cuba and Professor Wolsey Of
Yale, who is an authority on the subject,
says that under these circumstances she
would be justified in declaring war if we
should recognize Cuba's independence.
The Question of BeIIigerency.
The question of bellgerenoy, it is con-
tended, is an entirely different one Bel
ligerency is a matter of fact, not of favor
or of opinion. 1t is n condition, not a
theory. DO the Cuban rebels exercise au-
thority over any territoryg Can they re-
ceiye and protect minister residing in
that territory? Have they courts of JUS
tice? Have they civil government? These
are the principal questions that have to be
answered in the affirmative before the
recognition of their belligerency would be
justiflable according to international law.
In answer it may be said that the Cuban
government is thoroughly organized and
exercises undisputed authority over con-
siderable territory. In the western half,
despite the assertions of the junta, its only
authority is that of the cavalry raid But
in the eastern half the rebels exercise the
fullest authority over all but some four or
five towns which the Spaniards still hold,
much as the British held Boston, New
York and other places during the Revolu-
ton.
The capital is at Cubitas, which is a
well built town not 90 miles from one of
these Spanish cities. There is legislature
constantly in session there, though its
powers are distinctly subordinate to those
of the generals in the field This capital
has been where it is now from the begin
ming of the war and has resisted every at
tempt to take it. Foreign ministers could
reside there in perfect safety.
1t is sometimes asserted that minister
could only reach the rebels by means of
pass from the Spanish general. This is an
absurdity. There are scores of places
where a minister could run the blockade
and reach Cubitas without any particular
trouble. WALTER WELLMAN.

Feat of "A Kanaka swimmer.

An interesting incident happened
when was in Honolulu, said Senator
Morgan recently. "You know the ma
tives are magnificent swimmers. They
take to the water like ducks One day q
cargo of mules was being carried on a
barge to a steamer lying offshore, when
one of the mules jumped overheard and
made for the shore When he landed ON
the beach, he looked around, and, seeing
all the other mules still being carried
toward the steamer, he went out into
the surf again and started in the direc-
ton of the barge. After he had gone
some distance great wave came along
and turned him over. When he righted
himself, he was absolutely wild and
blindly headed out for midocean. The
men on the barge watched him for
awhile, and then the captain asked if it
was proposed to let the animal drown.
Quick as flash one of the Kanakas
sprang overheard, swan at tangent to
intercept the mule and, reaching the
animal, climbed upon his back and by
clever tactics directed the animal to the
steamer, riding him like a centaur in
the water all the way. Washington

STORY OF BUTTERWORTH.
Effect of His Remarks at the Coffin OF
His Friend.


The last time Mr.. Benjamin Butter
| worth was at the White House he told
the priest dent that he must look for a
! new commissioner before the 1st of last
January, as he intended to resign be-
cause the work was too combining and
wearing for his health. 1t is thought,
too, that he had premonition that his
end was near. Those who attended the
informal services over the body of the
late Warner Bateman Of Cincinnati, one
of Mr. Butterworth' $ intimate friends,
who died very suddenly at the Riggs
House III Chicago, were startled by some
remarks which be made on that occa-
sion. No clergyman was present, nor
was there any intention TO hold a reli-
gious service. AS they sat about the
room General Dudley arose and said,
Gentlemen, | do not like 60 let our
old friend leave US in this way, without
a word of sorrow and sympathy, and
then proceeded TO pay tribute to Mr.
Bateman's qualities as friend and
gentleman AS he sat down Mr. Butter
worth stepped TO the head Of the casket
huu ldlhSu TOT zen minutes as no one
ever heard bin talk before He was
man of jests and humor, With a most
CHEEKY and sanguine disposition. He
used to say that he never shed tear.
He always looked on the bright side Of
things and found something amusing in
every situation. His friends often com
planned that it was difficult for him to
be serious, but on this occasion, in the
presence of death, he spoke to 10 or l2
of his intimate friends in manner that
brought tears to their eyes as we'll as to
his own 1t was personal confession
and personal appeal too sacred to be
quoted, and so impressive that no one
present will ever forget word that he
uttered Some days later, when those
who heard it learned that he was lying
at the point of death, the scene was re-
called, and even greater force was added
to his words. -William Il. Curtis in
Chicago Record.

SELF HEATING APPARATUS.
DIR. Digit Claims His Device Will Over
come the Effects of Cold.

DIR. Digit Claims His Device viii Over
come the Effects of Cold.
DR.. O. l.. Digit of Jackson township,
near Mercer, Pa, has secured letters
patent ON device called the Digit
thermal inspirator, which promises to
overcome the effects Of cold and make
it possible to Withstand the most frigid
climates. The inspirator is a device to
retain the heat from the exhaled air,
which in turn warns the inhaled air
before it reaches the lungs 1t prevents
the loss of heat from the body, as it or
dinarily occurs, through the breath
While in Washington DR.. Digit Sc
cured an audience with the secretary of
war, who was SO impressed with the
thought of using it in the Klondike re-
lief this winter that he requested the
commissioner Of patents TO make a spe-
cial examination of the application,
which was done, and the patent grant
ed soon after.
In recent test DR.. Digit entered a
cold storage where the temperature was
below zero, and, by the use of the in
spirator, where the air reached the
lungs it was raised from 10 TO 10 de-
grees. The inventor thinks that even at
the north pole, and with no other cloth
ing than that of ordinary wear, it would
furnish constant supply of warm air,
and he hopes TO have it worn in an arc
tic expedition which sails in the spring

check Tor something over SIS. 900 to the
state treasurer, the balance due. The
township treasurers throughout the
county have made records for themselves,
ior the delinquents turned in this year
were the smallest in a long time, and
had the treasurer OF Laird township done
better with his collections, the record
would have been much better. OF SOL
