says the Maine Explosion Came
From a Desire to See War.


Madrid, Dec. 9.--The, Imparcial to-day
publishes another inAammatory article on
the subject of the Maine charges. The
paper intimates that the explosion was the
outcome of an intense desire upon the
part of certain factions in the United
states to see the outbreak Of war, which
was unpopular with the majority of Amer
leans" The impartial adds:
"The partisans of the war realized that
some thing startling was necessary TO
arouse national sendpent-it was a re-
markabIe chance Almost an the Names
officers were on board ship at the time of
the catastrophe Those who charge the
spanlards with being capable of such a
rnonstrous act. are well capable of com
hitting it themselves"
In conclusion the impartial says:
Spain cannot remain under such an in
famous charge. It would be preferable to
give the word the spectacle Of national
suicide"

DR.. H. w. Hunsaker of San Francisco
read a very interesting paper on

general practitioners Many forms of
treating some of the most common of
these diseases was given during the

Edition of an Old One?" This paper

much experience with the &-Ray as
produced by the static machine, and
agree there is no danger of any injury
from such X-Ray.

Mr.. Edwards has been city mar
