Washington, April 19.-The Central
Cuban Relief committee of New York

trados in Cuba Immediately and dis

cordance with the Geneva treaty

The antarctic continent-for every
thing indicates that the great ice cap
of the south pole covers land and not
sea-presents attractions to no one but
the scientific observer. There is no
life there, either human or beast, no
vegetation Penguins have their rock
cries at some points where the stu
pendous wall of glacier is interrupted.

The people of the United States are
wealthy and have faith in the gov
eminent. These two facts are shown
in the report of the comptroller of the
currency, which states that the indi-
vidual deposits in the national banks
now aggregate more than $4,000, 000,-
600, being the largest amount ever re-
corded in the history of those institu-
tions. This statement does not take
into account the deposits in state and
private banks, nor the immense sums
known to be held by savings banks.
When these are added, the wealth Of
the country is seen to be enormous.

Washington, April 20.-The Spanish
legation here has received the follow

sendo Garcia with three officers Of the
rebel forces and twenty-five cavalry
soldiers, all armed, have presented
themselves at Sancti Spiritus to the
civil and military authorities, declaring
publicly before numerous crowds Of
Cuban home government under the
mother 7country's flag and to defend
the interests Of the Spanish race. Ro-
sendo Garcia: was. II of the most
prominent chieftains in the Cuban in

others. *.*-f -;

Cleanliness begins within. If a man
isn't clean inside, ne is far from Godli-
ness. A constipated sinner is a stencil
in the Fnostrils of the deity. A man
whose food sours in his stomach, and
whose liver is leaden, can't help looking
at the world hatefully with jaundtced
eye, and conjuring up evil thoughts in
his tortured brain. Cleanliness of person
begets cleanliness Of thought. C~ascarets,
candy cathartic is the missionary medi-
cine which purif1es mems bodies and
minds. Pure, fragrant, palatable, mild
and positive, they.sclean out the Intestinal
canal, stimulate the liver and strengthen
the bowels. Then a man enjoys again
feeling of charity and brotherly love for
his fellows and recommends others to
take Cascarets and be as happy as he.

We Do Not Furnish Spain the Neces-
stiles of War.
Norfolk. Va, April 2O.-The British
steamer Hampstead, Capt. Bland, was
stopped from loading coal Friday at
Lambert's Point when it was found
that she was loading for st. Vincent,
Cape Verde islands, at which point
two of Spain's cruisers are now lying,
and that the flying squadron, under
command. of Commodore Schley was
being delayed in its coaling until this
cargo of 5000 tons was completed.
Evidently hasty wires worked be-
tween Norfolk, New York and Wash
ington. For a short time the loading
was resumed and the full cargo fin
ished, but the steamer did not go.
Orders for her indefinite stay We're re-
ceived Saturday and Capt. Bland took
his clearance, papers to the custom
house here and delivered them up.

There is a serious question in ou1
mind whether the practice of christen-
ing ships should be perpetuated. We
cannot see that it is either necessary
or beautiful. They should be named,
of course, under such simple forms as
may seem desirable, but why treat
them as though they were human be-
ings with souls to save and "christen''
them? If we christen ships at all,
surely the employment of water consti-
tues the nearest approach to sacrilege.
Wine or spirituous liquor at least saves
the performance from the charge of
burlesQuing holy things. But why
christen them at all?

Every advance in war engines is a
swift advance toward universal peace.
As soon as the mastery of mind over
force and matter becomes so complete
that humiliation can be speedily and
surely visited upon hostile armies or
fleets the human race will be under an
~unbreakable bond to keep the peace.

The Canadian parliament has killed
a bill designed to prevent the circula-
tion of Sunday newspapers. In less
eventful times such a easur might
have become a law, for conservatism
runs high across the border; but even
the Canadian mind is fain to recognize
that in these momentous days the pub
location of the Sunday journal Is a re-
Spouse to an imperious public senti-
ment.

When the franchise of a street rail-
way sells at auction for 2 per cent on
the gross receipts in a little city like
Nevada, Mo-, a franchise Of a similar
character in such a city as Chicago
ought to be worth something like rs
to 80 per cent, and still leave a large
profit for the corporation.
