The latest war news are to the ef-
feet that the Presidents message,
which was expected yesterday, will
not be given to Congress before next
week, perhaps Monday. The al
legged reason for this delay is to give
all Americans in Cuba a chance to
get away, as it was feared the mes
sage would precipitate Il massacre:
Strong hopes are still maintained
that the difficulty may be ami,ably
settled. Congress is in a very rest
less frame OF mind. In the mean
time the preparations for war so on
unabated. Il

No OTHER nation having a rich,
fertile island situated so near to it's
borders as Cuba is to the United
States, would hesitate one moment
before attaching it to their country,
especially if the opportunity for an
nexAtion would be as favorable as
that which now presents itself to the
United States for the annexation OF
Cuba. Annexation in our opinion
ought to be the final settlement of
this vexed question. Instead OF
hunting for pretexts and causes that
will warrant US in Interfering, let us
say right out to Spain that we want
Cuba, and are going to have her.
That is what we mean anyway, at
least the thought is planted deep
down in many an American heart.
The whole North American G. ointment
and all it's islands is destined to come
under the dominion OF the stars ana
suripes. Nothing can stay the pro-
gress of the powerful Anglo-Saxon
race, and the weaker southern races
must give way before it.. Annexa-
ton, we believe, would be benefit
to this country and a blessing to the
people on the island. 1t would give
security and stability to their COY
eminent, and insure the rapid devel-
opment OF the matchless resources OF
the island. 1t is a question whether
the people OF Cuba have the neces-
saryintelligence to govern themselves
without having the kindly assistance
OF a stronger power like the United
States. The experience in self gov
eminent OF former Spanish possess
sjons has not been wholly successful.
Wars and revolutions have been pre-
valent. Independent Cuba would,
perhaps, fare no better. The best
way for Cuba to get free ard remain
free would be as a part and parcel of
the United States.

carries them TO the sea.
The coral polyps that built the jar
dimes about Cuba cannot live al a
depth much greater than six hundred
feet. They are warm-Water animals,
and it is requisite from their point ot
view that the temperature Of the sea
in which they dwell shall not be less
than 66 Fahrenheit. They need in
their business an abundance of fresh
ly aerated water, and on this account
they flourish best in the constantly
beating surf. The ncessant boil and
turmoil. which to creatures otherwise
organized would be death. is to them
a necessary refreshment. In the midst
of the roaring Surges the hOWcrlke
stone-makers build their reefs of a rock
so hard as to defy the billoWs. The
islets off the coast of Cuba. while OBJ
stlucting navigation TO some extent,
afford many sheltered Earbors. In
fact, there are hundreds Of such har-
bors in which the hardy buccaneers of
old used to find safety from pursuit and
shelter for refitting their piratical yes
sells.
Some Of the smaller "jardines" are
not of coral origin. but We're built by
mangroves. The mangrove is one of the
ouriosities of the vegetable kingdom,
being adapted to an aquatic existence.
The young plants which are about six
lsinches long and resemble cigars, are set
I8adrift ny the parent mangrove to seek
their own fortunes. They float verti-
cally in the water, and by-and-by per-
| haps they come upon a muddy spot in
a shallow where they are stranded.
| Under such circumstances they lose no
time in taking root in the soft mud,

soon as they are rooted they send up
apid growing stems, from hlghef
points of which new shoots are pro-
jected downward, and thus is formed
an arch of roots with branches spread
ing in every direction. The arch OF
roots serves as nucleus, about Whlch
mud and sand collect, making the be-
ginning of an island.
One of the nonsensical notions for
merly entertained with regard to coral
reefs and islets was that certain 1lShes
of the sea served as masons in creating
such structures, naturally bulldinS
them with their teeth. There is noth-
ing very remarkable about the fauna
of the 'jardines" and "jardinillos. Of
