our PURPOSE IN CUBA.

1t is apparent that the Cubans are not
yet satisfied that our purpose is to give the
island an enlightened and stable govern
ment and then withdraw from it. They
seem TO think-at least some of them do
that we are only opening a way to get
permanent possession of it. At Santiago
the other day Capt. Warren, who had been
with Gomez. and who had just returned
from Gomezs camp said that the Cuban
leader would no longer have Americans
about him, and that he was also getting
rid of those of his native officers suspected
of favoring annexation to the United
States. on Monday In Santiago a promi.
nent lawyer, Antony Bravo, made
speech in which he declared that the Gu
bans would take to the mountains again
before they would submit to American
control of the island. HIS speech was vo-
ciferously applauded, showing that there
is not yet entire confidence an the an
nouncement of our purpose 10 let the Gu
bans manage their own affairs after we
have established for them a free and sta
Bile government. There is however, no rea-
son why the Cubans should not trust US
implicitly. There is no doubt that the great
majority Of the American people want 10
see the Cubans make the effort to govern
themselves. There are many who doubt
that they will be successful In fact, there
are reasons for thinking that the property
owners and business men of Cuba are very
doubtful that the experiment of
self government, which the Gu
bans are soon to make, will
be successful. If the. real sentiments of
the better class of Cubans could be OBJ
tanned 1t is pretty certain that it would
be found that the great majority of them
would much prefer annexation to the
United States 10 government Of their
own. But as this country has stated that
Cuba is 20 have a government of its own
the question of annexation will not even
be considered at this time.
1t can be stated with much certainty.
however. that if the Cubans fail in giving
the island a satisfactory government the
United States win not hesitate TO take pos
session of it. They have too much
at stake 10 permit it TO be ruined by mis-
rule. Before the war with Spain is finally
ended-a war that was begun wholly in the
interest of Cuba-the United States will
have spent several hundred millions of
dollars and sacrificed the lives of thou
sands Of their citizens. They have a right

Besides ii is to their Interest that peace
shall pervan in Cuba and that the island

supt. Talcott. of the New York state

sons who think themselves truly religious
during the course of his annual report.
He says religious instruction which in
spires fear in the mind of the child is
largely responsible for insanity Chill
dren, especially. should not be frightened
into religion, nor should a religious eduea-
ton, so-called be driven into a child.
The fault with religious instruction very
often" says Supt. TalcOtt, lis that il Is
given in such form that an agony of re-
morse for sin is allowed to produce worry
by day and insomnia by night until phys
ical and mental development is effectually
arrested" Rev. DR.. DaCosta, commenting
on Supt. Talcotts views, declares that
religious monomania, as well as other
forms Of insanity, is the result of eating
TOO much meat.

Remark able Tale Of the Sea.

A most remarkable tale of the sea is
that related by Capt. LanguilI OF the
British steamer K+nsington, which ar
rived las, week at the sugar refineries
Just above Marcus Hook from Sourabaya,
Java, with u heavy cargo Of sugar.
The Kensington sailed for this port
over two months ago. The weather was
extremely hot even for a tropical region:
When five days out the steamer passed
through vast area Of seaweed, the
home Of millions Of dragon flies. Hardly
had the Vessels PROV touched the sea-
weed when the flie-, attracted by the
savnry fumes Of the cargo, began to
swarm about the deck. They gltllered
in great numbers. They penetrated the
wicker sugar bags. They attacked the
crew, singing the men about the lace
and hands IN a frlgI,ful manner. For
five days the dragon flies continued
their onslaught, driving the men to
desperation.
Then there came an unexpected rescue.
A h,ck uf b,atswain birds, the i've Of the
dragon fly, circled and wheeled above
the unfortunate steamer, then ewonped
down upon it. III "a short time the birds
had cleareu the Kensington of the pests.
