The old proverb that what is ono
mans meat is another ) poison is well
illustrated by a fact recently reported
in Nature by a correspondent. Some
wheat, which had been poisoned by
soaking in n solution of strychuine and
which was intended for killing spar.
rows, after having been kept for some
time in cardboard boxes was found to
have become infested with weevils. On
examination it was found that the boxes
were full of weevils and their excre.
ment, and the wheat was more than
half eaten. Strychnine vas found to be
present in the wheat which the weevils
had eaten and in apparently still larger
proportion III their excrelnent, so that
it had evidently passed through the
digestive apparatus unchanged. When
We consider that so little as from half
to three-fourths of "a grain Of the aka
loid is sufficient to kill a strong man,
the difference between the roles played
by the alkaloid becomes very striking.
1t is not as if insects were universally
proof againstt the action of p~oisons, as
this is far from being the case. An ill.,
stance quoted from the sanIe source car
ries the matter still further. 1t has been
found that the weevil AnthOnonus dru-
parum can feed with %impunity on ker-
nels containing hydrocyanic acid, while
the zane acid administered to caterpil-
lars of Deiopeia pulchella caused them
quickly to die, although they We're quite
unaffected by the poisonous principle of
the Calabar bean, known as ~eserine. 1t
appears therefore that what is one in
sect food is another insects poison,

The women of Sardinia are described
by a visitor to that island as being of
elegant figure and graceful carriage,
with large black eyes, dark hair and
brunette complexion. They dress in
very much the same style as ome in
other parts of civilized Europe, except
that there is not the same extreme haste
to adopt the latest fashion. The wives
and daughters of the farmers and trades
men,, by the gorgeousness of their cos
tunes, amply compensate for the sim
plicity of dress among the upper classes,
and at their religious fetes and other
festivals, when they appear in gala
dress, they present a wonderful spec
tacle.
These costumes are a sort of family
heirloom, handed down from mother to
daughter and treasured as highly as he
reditary jewels or ancestral portraits.
The fashion neve changes, and instead
of feeling ashamed of being seen in the
same dress at two different entertain
ments they glory in its antiquity and
in the number of occasions on which it
has been worn. The costumes of the
women vary greatly in different parts of
Sardinia. In some districts II small black
jacket, open in the front, is worn over
a very short bodice of bright colored
silk and brocade, which is loosely laced
before and cut rather low. There are
apparently ut corsets. The petticoat is
of light brown cloth, very full, and be-
tween it and the bodice isl sort of neu-
trail ground of %pro,ruding garment,
which by no means adds to the general
beauty of the toilet.

PoSToFFICE IN CUBA.
Uncle Sam Has Established One mt
Camp McCaIla.

The United States has added another
foreign postoffice to its list this week 1t
is the first ever established on Cuban soil
by Uncle Sam, and will be a fixture as
long as the war lasts. With the army of
invasion that landed at Camp McCalia
were half a dozen expert postal clerks
and mail-sorters. They were to establish
the postoffice for the soldiers there as
soon as they landed. and while as yet no
official notification has reached the de-
partment headquarters. 1t is quite safe to
say that they have the new postiffice in
practical working order by this time.

ords during the present war said an Off
cial of the department this morning
Two months ago who in the land or
world for that matter. would have
thought it possible for US to have a post
office in fine working order at Manila,
thousands of miles away, by this time.
or on the southern coast of Cuba? Be
fore two more weeks are gone il is al
most safe to say that the soldier boys
and private citizens may be calling for
their regular daily or semi-weekly mail
at San Juan, L. S. A. Then, next, we'll
have offices in working order in the Ca
naries and the Ladrones. The way the
postal department is expanding these
days would make Ben Franklin, our first
Postmaster General, fall dead with

her arrival at the Cuban coast

manded by Gervasio Sabio, the most ey-

took Capt. Rowan to Gen. Garcia, and on
MS return voyage brought Senior Capote
to Jamaica.
On the present expedition he carried
back Orencia Nodarse. controller general
of the Cuban army, who came here with
Senior Capote.
Nodarse waited here until advices came
from Capote in New York, and he is TAX

With Nodarse also went Mr. Prevail. for

We have again occasion for calling at

that Philippine leader. He denies all

Dewey Dictator of Manila,

This morning we had advices from
Mapila to June Il. At that time the
transports with Anderson's command
of the Philippine expedition had not ar
rived, but were considered about due.
and Admiral Dewey had sent the Bal
timore to meet them. They must have
arrived and landed the troops at Ca
vite before this. and news of the fact
ought to reach us from Hong Kong to-
day or tonight.
The condition of affairs disclosed by
the dispatches is eminently satisfac-
tory, considering the comparatively
weak force which our admiral has had
at his command and the great results
which his bravery, professional, diplo-
matte and administrative ability have
accomplished. He has Manila COM
pletely at his mercy. and so closely in
vested by his native auxiliaries that its
supplies are completely cut off. Au-

TUESDAY, JUNE q, 1898.
Now for Genuine War.

General Skaters expedition arrived
OH Santiago yesterday, and its COM
niander was able to consult with Ad-
miraI Sampson in relation to land op-
eraticns. which Will be begun immedi-
ately General Garcia was with the
admiral on Sunday, and so it may be
presumed that thorough understand
ing exists between the three leaders
who will cooperate against the Span
ish position
1t is reported that the gallant ma.
rines under Lieutenant Colonel Hunt.
1ngton. at Guantanamo, will be re-en-
forced today by two regiments from
Shafter's army, and further anxiety
about that heroic force will be unnec-
essary. The Spaniards appear to have
lost aH- hope of successful attack in
that direction, and have retired to the
hills behind Caimanera. According to
Cuban reports, they are on the verge
OF famine, and have begged for food
and re-enforcements, which Linares ha :
advised them are both impossible to
furnish. Although General Garcia says
that there are ten thousand Spanish
troops at Holguin, seventy miles north
west of Santiago, he is confident that
his force of four thousand Cubans
which commands the lines of commu-
hcauon between the two points, will
be able to prevent a southwark move
ment of the enemy.
General indications are that Linares
and Cervera are in a poor condition for
a siege. Their supplies have been cut
off for some time. Their rear is con-
tinually threatened by the gathering
bands of Cubans, and their men are
hungry, disheartened and terrified by
the effects of the American lombard
ment, especially by the work of the
thirteen-inch shells and the gun-cotton
projectiles. That there must be a fight
and perhaps a sharp one, before the
city and Spanish squadron can be taken
or destroyed, and the enemy's garrison
killed or captured, may be taken for
granted. If the higher Spanish officers
could have their will in the matter. we
do not doubt that they would fight
their men to the death. But the rank
and file are not likely to prefer
slaughter to honorable captivity and
something to eat. So it may be that
when they see a hopeless struggle be-
fore them they will compel surrender.
That is to be hoped, as otherwise our
troops will be compelled to make awful
havoc among them.
From now on we may reasonably ex-
pect plenty of war news. The situation
everywhere has improved. The Gov
ernment is forced by circumstances to
take vigorous action, and there is no
anti-war party of sufficient numbers or
influence to obstruct it's onward course.
There is encouragement to believe that
Santiago and the Cape Verde squadron
will be finished very quickly, and then
there will be no excuse for postponing
the occupation of Porto Rico and the
capture of Havana. Our first military
success, though it be small one, will
give fresh impetus to the Admin stra-
tion in its conduct of the war
