OIL ON THE WATER
FULFILLED the Promise Of the Ancient
Proverb


NEW YORK, Nov. 5-Captan H. Gathe-
mani OF the North German Lloyd Steamship
| Oldenburg has just made public the result
of a series of experiments with oil and soap
suds in quieting the sea in the vicinity Of
the ship during storm.
He began his experiments in December,
1897, on voyage from Baltimore to Bremen,
and used vegetable or whale oil to good ad-
vantage. He allowed the oil to drop from
series of buckets arranged in the bow of
the ship. The wind at the time was west
northwest, with a very rough sea. The
speed of the ship was abount l21s knots,
the temperature of the air was As degrees
Fahrenheit, and of the sea 81 degrees.
Presently the waves, which has been break.
ing over the ship, became remarkably quiet,
and the sea within several hundred yards
of the ship became calm. The captain used
| about 2A pounds of oil in an hour during
this experiment. He was much gratifed
at the result.
In January, 1898, Captain Gathemani
began trying soapsuds. The mixture con-
sisted of green soap and forty pounds OF
| sweet water, and as in the case of the oil,
buckets were used from which the soap
suds dropped into the ocean. The wind
was north by west, the speed of ship over
| l2 knots, and the temperature of the air
and sea about the same as in the expert
ment with the oil. The soapsuds could be
plainly seen floating on the surface of the
water until wave struck them and they
quickly disappeared. No quieting effect
was noticeable on the sea, however, and
when the buckets were empty they were
quickly filed with oil and presently again
the sea became calm. Captain Gathemani
reports he was experimenting with soap
suds several times during his voyages this
year, but never found them efficacious and
always resorted to oil with good results.

HALF THE CUBAN POPULATION
Has Been Found by Medical Inspector
Woodson to Be Suffering From
the Disease
Associated Press Special Wire

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Nov. 5.-Dr.
Woodson, medical inspector OF the military
department of Santiago, who arrived here
ON the United States cruiser Cincinnati alter
visiting Holguin, Gibara, Baracoa, Sagua de
Tanamo and Guantanamo, reports that on
his arrival at Gibara with Col. Hood $ regi-
ment, he discovered more than half the popu-
lation suffering from smallpox. he went
Immediately to work and systematically iso-
lated the houses, insisting upon the regiment
(the Second Immunes) being camped in
healthful locality near the sea.
Every effort will be made to prevent the
American and Spanish soldiers from frater-
Min, as the Spaniards come from Hoguin,
about thirty seven miles from Gibara, and
are liable to carry infection. The whole coun-
try between the two towns Is thIckly popu-
lated and the plague is scattered all along
the route.
Medical supplies are badly needed, also
delicacies for the convalescents, and the STU
alton offers an excellent opportunity for
nurses and doctors of the Red Cross.
General Wood will soon leave to make a
personal inspection of the points visited by
Dr. Woodson, despite the advice of his
friends not to do SO. The military Governor
is simply indefatigable in the line of duty.
He will send DR.. Woodson back to Gibara
five doctors and large quantity of supplies.
General Wood says he knew of the epidemic
which has been continuous for three years
and had every man in Col. Hoods regiment
vaccinated. He believes that none will be
stricken and that there is no cause for
alarm.
Col. Ray of the Third Immune regiment,
reports a recent affray OH the Santa Isabel
plantation between two of his men who were
guarding cattle and some fifteen insurgents.
Three of the Cubans are believed to have
been wounded, but their comrades carried
them off.
Col. Ray sent for the Cuban general,
Perez, and questioned him regarding the
the men were of Perez's command, as they
were all armed and wore Cuban cockadss.
He insisted that if Perez kept his men under
arms he should also keep them in camp.
Il cannot understand your object" said
Col. Ray to Perez, Sin continuing your men
armed on American territory. Are they
armed as against the Americans There are
no Spanards in arms within hundred
miles. What is the necessity of doing what
can only lead to further trouble"
General Perez said he would issue orders
restraining his men from similar attacks
Col. Ray replied:
81 shall treat all armed Cubans caught
stealing or with trying to steal cattle as ban
dts. There is no reason why these men
should not go to work"
Col. Borrup has completed his schedule of
the guns captured from the Spaniards to be
shipped North The total number is lSl,
varying from ~ inches up to S1a inches in
caliber. There are eighty-six 6-inch bronze
pieces, three steel guns and forty-one cast
guns. In addition to this ordnance there are
two, thousand Mauser rifles and ten thou
sand cartridges.
