His teaching Of love to a loving couple

is that men and women like little stim-

An insidious ally to Spain is the barnacle.
The United States warships now busy in
Cuban waters, which are particularly favor
able to the growth of shellfsh, are sure to
have their bottoms fouled by rank sea
growth, and probably the first use to which
they will put the fine dry dock at Havana
will be to clean them off.
The barnacle loves a ships bottom. 1t
attaches itself by means of a peduncle end
ing in the barnacle proper, which consists
of five shelly valves inside a general pro-
tective shell. 1t makes no effort to improve
on its first selection of home, because i'm
mediately it has made its selection and be-
comes firmly attached nature robs it of it's

it absorbs its food caught in several tenta-

antly in foreign travel till the dry dock is
reached, when it is unceremoniously scraped
off and sent to the manure heap.
A tramp freighter engaged in the south

moved from her sides at one time, exclusive
of grass and other growths. This was in

UNEASY OVER OUR ATTITUDE.
Cuban Insurgents Not Favorable I.
an Unrestricted Franchise.

A dispatch from New York yesterday
says: The visit of DR.. Capote, vice president
of the Cuban republic, to the United States
is said to be for the purpose of comforting
With Mr.. Palma and other members of the
jInta concerning the future of their govern
ment. The failure of Congress to recognize
its independence and the policy of President
Mckinley to carry on the war without
reference to the insurgents caused alarm
among the leaders of the movement in
Cuba, and it was considered best for Mr.
Capote who is recognized as the ablest
lawyer among them, to come personally to
Washington and reach an understanding
with President Mckinley regarding the
present status and the prospects of the
insurgents. 1t will be remembered that MIR
Rubens, the attorney of the junta in New
York, when the matter was pending in Con-
gress. declared that the insurgents would
fight the United States if We attempted to
interfere without recognizing their indie
pendence. This, at the time, expressed the
spirit of Gen. Gomez and other insurgent
leaders, who insisted that the destiny of
CUBA should be intrusted to their hands
President Mckinley's plan of organizing
a republican form of government in Cuba
that shall represent all classes and factions
the rich and POOR, the sugar planters, the
tobacco manufacturers, the merchants the
professional men and all concerned with a
legislature elected by the people to make
the laws, and judiciary and executive
chosen in the same manner to enforce them.
is not approved by all of the insurgents.
Gomez. Masso and other leaders are said
to dissent very emphatically from such a
proposition. and insist that every man in
Cuba, who has been loyal to the Spanish
government during the revolution, or has
not shown active sympathy for the insur-
gents shall be permanently disfranchlsed
and forever prohibited from holding office
under the new government. They declare
that all the friends of Cuba Libre are
known and can be easily identified when
they come into their kingdom. They have
suffered for their love of liberty; they have
fought to drive the Spanish flag from the
West Indies, and are entitled to the fruits
Of their victory.
Haven't we been fighting and suffering
in order to drive out the Spaniards, and are
we not entitled to run the government
when they go? Are the men who have as
sisted Weyler and Blanco to defeat us to
STARE in the honors and emoluments? Not
much. They can go back to Spain with the
army, or we will make them very I'M
happy" Thus spoke one of the most prom
inent and influential of the junta after COM
ing directly from conference with Capote

next door, founded by Cardinal Wiseman
in 1856.
The extension of the Hospital for Sick
Children, close by, hampered the authori-
ties Of the smaller institution in a scheme
OF enlargement they had devised, and they
accordingly agreed to sell their whole prop
erty to the other hospital, and erect a new
building for themselves in St. Johns wood
This involved the demolition or removal of
the Church Of St. John Of Jerusalem, end
the question, after careful consideration by
Cardinal Vaughn, was referred for final
decision to the pope, who has now author
lied the church to be taken down stone by
pital in the district mentioned. The beauti-
ful altar and magnificent carving which
the church contains will be transferred bodi-
