CUBANs EATING WORMS.
Revelations of a Cuban Officer Ar
rived at New York.

New York, March 21.-Dr. Frank
Chado who for the past two years
has served as surgeon general, with
the rank of colonel, in the Cuban
army, under General Calixto Garcia,
and who was present when young
Gomez committed suicide on seeing
his leader General Maceo fall, is in
this city.
Colonel Chado came by the steam
ship Concho, taking passage at
Havana. He eluded the vigilance of
the Spanish authorities and Travelled
under an assumed name. Colonel
Chado, in an interview said:
Il have heard nothing of the stories
published in this country of the dis
tress in Cuba and of the thousands
that have died and are dying of star
walton.
Nothing that has been published,
nothing that could be published, could
tell the story as it is really.
4 know of my own knowledge that
in many sections of Cuba, they are
digging w the earth for the worms
that they may find. 1t is not every
one who is able to dig. Most of the
people are so weak that they are IN
able to move.
They are dying by the thousands
not the men who were doing or hope
to do the fighting that eventually must
end in triumph, but the poor women
and children, and the reconcentrado.
Ruin is everywhere visible.
Spain has been guilty of acts that
must make civilization stand appalled,,
and the fact is that they are infinitely
worse off today than at any time since
the war began.
Victory is certain for the Cubans, in
the near future"
OF the present feeling among Span
iards at Havana, Colonel Chado said
that it was becoming more hostile for
Americans every day.
There is d feeling among them"
ne said, that the United States is
afraid to fight. and that they can do
anything they please.
Il am as firmly convinced as a man
can be that the Maine horror was not
due to any submarine mine. This be-
lief is shared By all Cubaas-that the
Maine was blown up by a torpedo.
Further, l believe that the torpedo
came from the Spanish warship
Alfonso NH. As to our reasons for
thinking so;

head with a cane by James Harring-

which may prove fatal. His skull was
fractured. Clark made a signed state
ment, in anticipation of a fatal out
come, in which he says he was making
inquiries concerning a veteran who had
left the home without leave while
under sentence for some minor offense,
and asked Harrington if he knew
where the fellow was. Harrington
responded in an offensive tone and
Clark demonstrated with him, where
upon Harrington struck him down with
his cane, raining blows on his head and
shoulders.
Harrington was arrested and placed
in the county Jail. He says Clark drew
a revolver on him. There has been
bad blood at the home for some time
and on a recent occasion a general re-
volt was threatened Harrington is
credited with having killed a man in
Virginia City. New, during the palmy
DAYS of that place.

called on Judge Cook at his home last
night and made a complete statement
of his connection with the affair. The
statement shows that Raymond was
merely acting as McIntOsh's agent in
the matter, and that the courts find

correct. AS further action in the con-
tempt matter might injure Hoff's case,

WILL CAUSE A BOOM.


1t is expected that the decision Of
the secretary of the navy to retain all
the vessels purchased during the war
will have the effect of causing boom
in American shipbuilding. 1t comes
just at time when there is an unusual
demand for ships flying the American
flag on account Of the expanding COM
merce of the United States in general
and particularly on account of the de-
cision Of the admi ton TO confine
trade between American ports and
Puerto Rico TO American vessels.
The navy, in preparing for war, drew
very largely upon the tonnage of the
coastwise and foreign lines sailing un-
der the American flag and thebusiness
of these lines cannot be restored to it's
former proportions until vessels have
been built to supply the places of those
taken by the government. To restore
to these lines the number of vessels
they had before the war will require
the construction of II vessels.

SUNS RAYS USED FOR FUEL.
Boston Scientist Has Devised .
Scheme to Operate an En-
gine Herewith.

That long cherished dream OF scien-
lists of utilizing the suns rays as fuel
to make steam and thus revolutionize
the industries is being worked out
near Brooklyn, N. Y, by a Boston
scientist. Passengers on the cars of
the Boston g. Albany railroad are at
tracted by the sight of peculiar iron
framework surrounded by mirrors.
This is a part of the first solar engine
ever built.
For some time number of Boston
capitalists have been working on this
machine, and recently the completed
solar engine, crude though it is, was
given a successful test.
The running of engines without fuel,
by the direct use of the suns rays, has
occupied the attention of scientific
men in all ages of experiment. That it
has been brought to a success the Bos-
ton men interested in the present ma
chine believe, and from the results of
the tests it may be said that the di-
rect use of solar power seems only to
be a question of commercialism. II
remains to be determined that the
Boston device is the best or most prac-
ticable of its kind.

SEA-SIGNALING DEVICE.
Improved Apparatus Given a Thor
Ough and Successful Test at
Hoboken, N. j.

An interesting test was made at the
Hoboken On. j. pier of the North Ger
man Lloyd Steamship company of the
lucigraph, an invention of John W..
Hayward for signaling at sea. The lu-
cigraph is a combination of typewriter
and stereopticon. Instead of screen
rapidly revolving "pin-wheel" Is
used, on which are thrown the signal
letters that are brought before a
strong light on slides worked by a
keyboard. A pure white light thrown
upon the disk is intended by the in
ventor as a signal of attention. When
answered by another vessel, the let
ters representing the international
code messages are thrown upon the
disk. These letters may vary from
minimum of Is feet to any size, and
may be seen by the naked eye at
great distance. The test proved sue
cessful. Letters Of light IS feet in
length were thrown upon a revolv-
ing screen, and could be seen with
ease from the New York side.

PIGEONS TO BRING TIDINGS.
French Ocean Liners TO BE Supplied
with Message-Carrying
Birds.

Welcome messages will soon be flying
home to anxious friends from the big
transatlantic steamships by means OF
trained pigeons. Capt. Gabriel Rey-
maud, a French cavalry officer, has ar
rived in New York for the purpose of
establishing carrier pigeon service on
the French line steamships on this side
of the Atlantic, such as he has com
pleted since last June on the French
side.
AS the captain says, the carrier
pigeon service has two purposes. There
is the humanitarian one of allaying the
anxiety of waiting friends and relatives
by sending messages from delayed or
disabled steamships. Then, also, pas
sengers can communicate with loved
ones before their vessel arrives in port.
Capt. Reynaud has made a study of
the carrier pigeon for many years. He

NAVY NEEDS MEN.
Embarrassing situation should Peace
He Declared Before Congress
Takes Action.

If treaty of peace with Spain
should be signed before congress
makes provisions for an increase in
the enlisted strength of the navy
that important branch Of the govern
ment would be badly crippled. With
the increase of the navy there has
been demand for more men, and at
the beginning of hostilities congress
authorized Secretary Long TO enlist
enough men TO man the vessels, but
their services must be dispensed with
when peace is declared. April 1,
when preparations for war were be-
ing made, the men and apprentices
numbered 1906, and under the au-
thority allowed in the conduct of the
war this was increased until the maxi
mum strength was reached August Is.
when 24122 enlisted men were in the
service. This number has been grad
ually decreased by discharge of the
naval reserves until there remained
on October IS only 20,279 men. OF
these 750 are on receiving ships and
400 of them are short term men, and
not available for foreign service.
Secretary Long asserts that if fur
thcr reductions are made the navy will
be crippled, the departments will be
unable 10 reestablish European and
other foreign stations, and will be
compelled 10 put some of the vessels
out of commission.
Secretary Long will ask congress
fer an increase of at least 1900 men,
which will bring the enlisted strength
of the navy up to 10000. Every day
hundreds of applications for discharge
are made by men who enlisted for the
war and whose positions in civil life
are in jeopardy because they do not
resume their duties. The depart
ment is unable to grant these requests
and this may cause many Of the men
who fought for their country to lose
their positions in civil life.
