Claims He Is Still Connected with Span
ish Legation and Was Misunderstood.
NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Yesterday
Lieutenant Commander J.. G. Sobral,
naval attache TO the Spanish legation
at Washington, now in this city, during
an interview held in the Spanish lam
guage was asked If the reported inter
view with him had been accurately
stated. Lieutenant Commander Sobral,
who understands a little English when
It is spoken very slowly said that he
had been misunderstood, hence mis-
quoted.
He said that the construction placed
upon his remarks had led TO an errone-
Gus deduction-that he had not made
any unhind or harsh remarks about the
officers Of the Maine The reporter. I'm
speaking TO him, quoted the opinion said
to have been given by an officer in the
navy of Great Britain rejecting on the
discipline in the American navy.
Lieutenant Commander Sobral ven
tured the remark that accidents happen
on ships and that perhaps the sentinel
on duty had become careless. He also
said that he was not aware that he was
being interviewed. He had no unknd
feeling toward the American navy. and
he had many friends among the per
sonnel and among the government Off
cials in Washington. He greatly re-
gretted the whole circumstance.
When asked II his official connection
with the Spanish legation had ceased, he
said that It had not, and that he was
as formerly the naval attache TO that
legation IN Washington. When ques-
toned as to his rank in the royal navy
Of Spain. he said that he was a lieuten-
ant commander-that he was promoted
about one year ago.

INFECTION BY BREATH.
A Simple Illustration Showing How
Easily Disease Germs May
he Disseminated.

In order to impress on us how easi-
ly infection may often be disseminated
by the breath, a writer in The Hospital
(London) bids us watch the course Of
the smoke expelled from the mouth of
one who is enjoying a cigar. lie says:
"The fumes do but make visible what
is happening all the day whether we
smoke or not. Each of the tiny par
ticles Of carbon or condensed Vapor,
which in their millions make up q
wreath of smoke, does but indicate the
track taken by a corresponding par
tice of expired air, which, IL it can
carry the visible carbon, can still more
easily carry the invisible micrObe.
Thus a Whit of smoke entering our
nostrils and penetrating our lungs
does but show the course which might
be taken just as easily by swarm OF
microbes, and serves to demonstrate
one at least of the ways IN which
crowded life passed in close commune
ty with our fellows leads to mischief.
The passage of Whit of smoke from
mouth to mouth does, in fact, but Illus
trate the mode in which the well-rec-
oRnized evils of rebreathing expired
air are produced. 1t is not the air, but
what the air carries with it, that does
the harm. What is illustrated by to-
bacco smoke is sometimes proved in
another way. In the bright sunbeams
notes are said to dance, and by careful
watching one may see not only bow
numerous these notes are, but of what
nasty stuff they are not infrequently
composed. The wheezy flower seller
coughing over his tray Of yiolets, the
loud-voiced hawker shouting over his
barrow OF strawberries, the shifting
child sneezing at the street corner
the painting person who will shake out
his handkerchief in the bus before
using It, even polite people talking {
each other, are all doing things which
on dull day seems innocuous enough
Let the sun shine, however, and th'
+ tell-tale sunbeams soon display tht

CHAPTER XXI.

This information, disappointing as
it was, produced marked change in
Calieot. His nervous anxiety gave
place to a grim look of concentration
and he grew visibly paler every day.
The intelligence that he received in
three days, through Miss Endicott,
amazed and excited him in spite of his
self-controL He learned that Hen
driclzs had captured the gunboat He
had to get at the facts of the case from
separate information and from Hen
bricks orders but he learned enough
to convince him that the commander
i'm the boat had been led into negli-
gence by not finding a human soul in
the vicinity, and a force of his men
had been surrounded and captured in
the wood, and a party sent to their re-
lief had been overwhelmed. It was a
dark night and two large attacking
forces from opposite sides of the river
had surprised the boat and, after a des-
perate fight, taken possession of her.
. Hendricks had then gone aboard'
dressed his own men in the uniform OF
. the soldiers, and finding the books and
. papers of the commanding officer, had
got a knowledge of his orders. The
captured crew were sent to the Larar
and the gunboat had gone up the Mis-
sissippi with her Gag flying, apparent
lv under government orders. Thii
was on the night Of 9th Of August On
the 9Th. the government stores al
. Leavenworth were seized by an arme,
force, the troops at that place hav
