Mr.. Coudert said: 'It IS Illogical to
claim that Spain has absolute power
and control over Cuba. To make such
claim as this is TO disregard and for

General Toral. and all those events
which accompany the surrender of part
of Cuba Spain is bound to surrender

know or nothing which will prevent the
Spanish from exercising a DiouS duty
to the most illustrious man Spain has
ever produced. There is not, in legal
contemplation, at least, any monetary
value to be attached to the greatly dis
tinguished remains, althoughg as Curl
oSitieS and relics they would probably
produce a high price at auction, but
ternational law admitted as a valid fea-
ture of the case that much value could
be placed on such relics, it could not
affect the claim of Spain, for she might
then claim that the ashes of the distin-
guished discoverer We're personal prop
erty, and that she had a right to re-
move them to her own soil.
THE desire of Spain to keep these
venerable bones within her own con-
troll. and to give them due reverence
in the future as in the past is just
and natural. She is not bound to de-
liver them over to the caprice of an
other nation, which might not treat
them with all the reverence which, in
the eyes of Spain at least, they de-
serve.
AS to the possibility or the probable
ity that Spain will endeavor to utilize
her time-honored custom TO procrasti-
nate and out off the time for evacua-
ton, that is, of course possible. A clash
of opinion might then arise which, if
prolonged, might lead to embarrasS-
ment and complications. We should
then be driven to insist on Spains de-
oarture from the island. If she re-
fused to comply with our reasonable
demand, then the last resort of kings
might have to be again resorted to

SICKNESS AT PONCE.
Total of 1880, and Many Fever
Gases Reported.

Washington, Sept. 26.-The following
cablegram has been received at the war
department:
Ponce, Sept. 25.-Cable regarding
sickness and want of rations received.
That there are sick is a fact. a small
proportion are bad cases, but there has
been no want of food. The last report
gives total of sick at 2,5O9 400 typhoid,
and 49S malarial fever, 297 diarrhoea;
other diseases, 1,314; percentage, %.
Think return of regiments now bere
wouldn't be advisable, as other coming
would have to go through the same ac-
climating process. Would advise that
certain sick be sent home. where recOv-
cry would doubtless be quickened. If
regiments are sent to take place of
those now here. special attention should
be given to selecting those under good
discipline and having full quota of Off
GERS. By this means men may be con-
trolled and sanitary precautions en-
forced in the small attachments which
necessarily must be made"

victories over eminent ringsterS in his
class. 10 don the mits with Jim
Frany,r the champion WelterW eight.
But this time he reckoned without his
host. F'rany proved himself a veritable
WhirlWind and was the agSIeSsOr
throughout. The Australian tried in
vain to land his awful right, but Frany
blocked his blows with great precision.
In the ninth and tenth rounds, Ryan
palpably fouled his opponent by punch
ing in clinches and was warned by the
referee. In the eleventh round Ryan
duplicated his fouling tactics and Ref
cree George Siler gave the fight to the
Cincinnati boy.

Bravest knight and chosen champion

To the poor and to the great, in the

He was such as never Briton knew

Oh, we cannot see him right through

That the ages leave still on us, tho
