Washington, May 10.-As a result of the Spanish reverse at Manila, leading members of the diplomatic corps. representing some of the most influential of the great pow CTS of Europe have unofficially exchanged views on the subject of the opportuneness of movement dictated by the most friend ly spirit and in the interest of peace, toward urging upon Spain the futility prosecution of the war and inducing her to sue for peace on the basis of relinqushment of Cuba. the promise of war indemnity and the occupation of Manila by Admiral Dew ey until the war indemnity is paid.

SPANISH SPIES AT
 WORK IN MOBILE.
Special to The Age-Herald.

-I-.
 Mobile, Ala, May 1O-spanish spies are at work in this vicinity. A plot to poison the soldiers at the regular army camps has been frustrated Sometime ago, an in- fantryman discovered meal sack filled with absorbent cotton anchored in the creek from which the regulars secure their drinking water Examination showed that the cotton was saturated with arsenic and had been placed just above the point where the soldiers filled their canteens. This shocking discovery was reported to the commanding officer who ordered that noth- ing be said about the find. and consequent- ly 1t was hushed up. Today similar ds- covery was made, but the facts leaked out. As reward of vigilance, Corporal John Sullivan, of Company A, Nineteenth infantry, discovered another poison-laden sack anchored in the drinking water creek as before. but at different point. The army officers decline to talk about the dis covery, but among the privates excitement and indignation prevails. We are sure that spanish spies are seeking to destroy them
 
 in characteristic Spanish way. And now they have poisonal vengeance to add to their motto, "Remember the Maine." Un- occasionally an investigation Is being made by the army authorities. and sensational disclosures may follow.

GEN. WHEELER LEAVES
 FOR HIS COMMAND
Special to The Age-Herald.


 Washington, May 10.-General Whe Ter left for Chickamauga today to assume part command of the troops to be mobilized there. The general said on leaving that he expected to be ordered to Cuba at the head of a cavalry command He did not ask for an indefinite leave of absence from con- gress, because he is still uncertain as to what he will do. Tt is possible that compli- cations may arise which will force both General Wheeler and General Sewell to re- sign from congress. There is only one pre- cedent by which to be guided in case the point is raised. During the Mexican war a member from Arkansas was commissioned d and took the field without resigning. The governor called for an election to be held in his district, and when the case came be- fore congress the contestant was seated During the war of the rebellion number of congressman held commissions while holding seats in the house, but the point was never raised against them. There is considerable feeling in the senate against Gen. Sewell serving in the military and leg islative granches of the government, and should he attempt to vote during the, war period the senate will be called upon to de- eide the constitutional question as to whether man can hold two offices under the government.

AMERICA SHOULD
 RETAIN PHILIPPINES

New York, May 1o.-A dispatch to the World from London says;
 Sir, Charles Dilke. when asked if any question of international law or practice affected the United States right to retain the Philippines, he said:
 ..None whatever. The States will hold the Philippines by the right of conquest. No power or powers will have the slightest title to interfere"
 .'But .mayn't some power, Germany or France, for instance, bring pressure to bear on the United States to surrender them?"
 .aThe Idea of continental pressure re-. gard as all moonshine. No power would attempt pressure unless we were in the same boat with them, which we never would be- Without English naval support no power will venture upon any action in the matter"
 .Do-you consider that the United States should retain the PhilippInes?''
 Certainly do. The only alternatives are some kind of autonomous republican government, which would need so much American protection that the United States might just as well keep them herself"

Washington, May 1O.-It is hard to tell whether the naval officials were relieved or disappointed by the news that came late this afternoon, to both the navy and state departments, to the effect that the Spanish flying squadron had arrived at Cadiz, Spain
 The safety of the Oregon from attack is now completely assured, and the way is clear for military operations in Cuba with out running the risk of having the occupy ing>armys line of communication cut off.
 On the other hand, 1t is believed no en- during peace can be secured until the Span- ish navy has been destroyed, and it now appears that to do this our sailors must make up their minds to go after the Span- iards, task very much more difficult than that of meeting them near our shore. It was suggested by some of the members or the war board that there was just pessi- bility that the Spanish squadron might make a quick passage into the Pacific through the Suez canal and attack Dewey at Manila. If is said that contrary to the common understanding the Suez canal IS open to the warships of belligerant powers SO that if the Spanish choose to take tnis course they would have long start or any nursuing fleet from our side of the Atian- +,o If;sis scarcely believed, however, that the Spanish are willing to take the great rick of exposing to our attack their own home ports by the withdrawal of so con siderable a portion of their naval strength os would be required to overmatch Dewey.

Time is now be- ueved to be the great factor There IS no longer opportunity to indulge in extensive drilline and practice maneuyering. The regular army troops do not need these ana are to be thrown at once into the iray, Many of the regiments of the nauonai guard which are entering the vo.un.eea service are felt to be sufficiently trained from a military point of view to follow the regulars immediately and the depart ment indicated its purpose today of des- patching these volunteers directly to the gulf coast for shipment instead of sending them to Chickamauga. This disposition was shown by the changes in the new or ders issued to the troops although there vet may be return to the original pro- rramuie of concentration If the plans show siens of weakness as they develop.

together. Forty years ago our quinine park all came from the slopes of the Andes, most of it, as little does now, packed in hides carried by hand and on mules and on boats and rafts for thous- ands of miles down the Amazon. Known for ages to the natives only in one locality, and so distrusted by them that it was never carried in the wallets of their itinerant doctors-so that it is said with some show of truth that Peru Is the only country where Peruvian bark is not used-it first came into mo- tice in 1888, when the Countess Chin chon, wife of the Viceroy of Peru, lay ill at Lima of a tertian fever. The cor regidor of LoXa, hearing of her illness, and knowing the reputed virtues of the quina bark, sent her a parcel of one of its varieties, which, administered by her physician, brought about a rapid and complete cure.
 The variety of bark, however, was one that abounds in cinchonidlne, and it was probably this all1aloid, and not quinine, that cured the countess. Two years afterward the woman returned to Spain, bringing with her supply of the precious quina for the use of the sick on her husbands estates, and it's reputation gradually spread under the name of countess powder. In 1870 the Jesuits sent some parcels of the pow dered bark to Rome to be distributed by Cardinal De Lugo, whence it be- came known as cardinals powder and
 Jesuit's bark with the ridiculous re-
 suit that no Protestants would have | anything to do with it.

One of the oft-quoted absurdities of this early trade was that to insure a monopoly-always monopoly-the Jesuits persuaded the pope to draw a line across South America beyond which no tree should be recognized as yielding quinine. It might be an unmis- takable cinchona, all the same, but chinchona it could not possibly be, as it had had the audacity to grow be- yond the popes line, and any one who refused to accept the evidence of his senses was promptly treated as a heretlc.
 The Jesuits were jubilant, and sold the bark at high prices in Catholic countries, vaunting it as an infallible remedy, under the name of Pulvis pa trum. It was John Tabor, an English apothecary, who broke down the preju- dice against it. By the number of cures he affected by it's means, without re- vealing its name, he became promn- ent enough to be knighted by Charles II in 1867; and next year, as physician in-ordinary, he cured the king of a ter- tian fever. Passing over to France the same year, he cured the Dauphin and a few other personages in high places, and sold the secret of it's preparation to Louis XIV for 2,0O0 louis dor, pen sion and title.
 The preparation does not seem to have extended very far, for it was not until 1915 that the bark was systemati- cally analysed, and after that five years elapsed before the alkaloid quinine was found in it. Notwithstanding Talbor's success the doctors fought bitterly over

LEIsURELY TELEGRAPHY
FRANCE.

1CalNSI4.
 The French are not in it as far as the telegraph is concerned" observed a Washington merchant who has just re- turned from hurried trip abroad. On my arrival at Havre three weeks ago l sent telegram to Paris to my hotel engaging a room. At the same time l sent a cable to my family in Washington reporting my arrival. Three hours afterward I arrived in Paris to find my answer from this country. But the telegram I sent from HaVre did not reach Paris, or at least was not delivered there until after had been at the hotel over an hour. In one case it was a matter of but few miles and in the other a distance of several thousand The telegraph wires worked as rapidly in one case as in the other, but in the rervice the delivery was where the trouble was The French make no special effort at rapid delivery of messages, and indeed make no claim in that direction. They are accurate enough, but very slow Thinking I would save time in Paris by using the telegraph, I sent a number of messages to friends and business peo- pie in different parts of the city. In nearly every case the messages were delivered after I had had time enough to make my visits in person. My expe rience is like that of others, for we all found out that such thing as rushing is unknown to the telegraph service there. Washington Star.
