1t Is impossible to understand the
methods of the Spanish Ministry. 1t
lied to the people of Spain concerning
Cervera's fleet and the fate it met, and
tortured disaster into victory and cause
for rejoicing. The deluded people Of
Spain awoke to the truth only when
it was forced upon them, and Sagasta
was driven to confess that he had been
deceiving his nation. What he hoped
to gain by such a course is incompre-
hensible, except on the hypothesis that
he was sparring for time in which to
prepare to resist popular uprising,
which is now reported as imminent.
But when the Spanish people learn that
the disaster to the fleet was due. not
to Cervera's judgment, but to positive
orders from Madrid, there will burst
about the heads of the Ministry such
a storm of indignation that we should
not be surprised to hear of it's taking
the form of violence and to leading TO
the downfall Of the Cabinet.

Z. d. Jones, in writing in the North
American Review" Of the Resources
and Industries of Spain," declares, as
the sum of the whole matter, that
Spain needs to look at home to the
condition of her fields and roads and
canals, rather than to waste herself in
foreign dominion. That is 1t, precise
ly. Spain has decayed. for one thing,
because of her far-reaching for mere
greed, and her inattention to her home
conditions and ueeda

Brander Mathews, the accomplished
philologist and writer, in a recent es-
say, declares that the alarm Of the
purists about corruption Of our lam
guage is groundless. The reason given
is that the language is made up of
a growth of corruptions, and that the
purest speakers and writer's daily, and
with perfect propriety, use words and
forms which, looked at from the view
of the past, are improper, if not
scandalous. He quotes the eminent au
thority Whitney in support, who de-
clared that there is a purism which,
while il seeks to maintain the integ-
rity of the language, in effect stiles it's
growth; to be too fearful of new words
and phrases, new meanings, familiar
and colloquial expressions, is little less
fatal to the well-being Of a spoken
tongue than to rush into the opposite
extreme" No doubt this is true in the
exact sense. But we think equally as
high authority can be found holding
that the effort to preserve the purity
of the tongue should not be relaxed,
while admitting that so-called corrup-
tions by usage grow into good form

The Government Of Italy, which is al
ways hard up for revenue, resorts to
lotteries, several of which are run un-
der Government direction. The people
have thus been educated to gamble in
the lottery, and of this dangerous meth
cd they have become passionately fond.
There is a broad superstitious strain in
the composition of all gamblers. Some
how it comes into the character with
the habit 1t is so with the Italians.
1t SO happened that the bread riots took
place on May 7th. Therefore the lot
terry gamesters fell upon Z as a number
to toy with in the lotteries. In the Ian
guage of numerals eleven signifies re
VOLT" and eighteen "bloodshed,' while
ninety means "a grave event" After
the bread riots the ticket buyers very
largely bought upon these numbers and
their combinations, and as luck would
have it they all won in the last draw
ings. AS a result the Government is an
enormous loser, and serious difficulty
has been experienced in paying off ;"
There is more than one way of running
a State, but the lottery system is the
most vicious of all.

Admiral Cervera says in an interview
with an American correspondent that
he received orders twice direct from
Madrid to go out of Santiago Harbor
and make the effort to reach Havana
He says he knew it was suicidal, that
he could not make the passage, and
that he would have to sacrifice his
ships and his men. But finally on the re-
ceipt of the second order he felt COM
PEELED to obey, and the world knows
what resulted. Here, then, we have
disgraceful example of civilian ineffi-
cency commanding official competency.
What nfattered it to the Department Of
the Marine at Madrid that a few thou
sand Spanish sailors should be sent to
their death in an utterly hopeless
struggle to escape? Spanish honor
must be maintained, forsooth. Cervera
would have more honored his man
hood, and have deserved and won the
commendation of mankind, had he torn
his epaulets from his coat, and have re-
signed his trust before becoming a
party to the murder-it was nothing
less

The bombardment Of Santiago has
been postponed for reasons that are
not concealed We have had put out
of fighting capacity before Santiago
some 1000 men, Our hospitals are
overlooking; our firing lines are thin;
the weather is intolerably hot; the at
mosphere is stifingly humid; torrents
of rain frequently fall, and our army
is sore, and exhausted in large part.
The Spanish have now a much larger
force than has the United States in
the Santiago field, and it is fighting
from behind intrenchments protected
by barbed wire fences, forts and block
houses. Under these circumstances it
is the part of wisdom to await the ar
rival of the reinforcements now on the
way to Santiago. The officers on the
ground know best what should be the
procedure, and they are in direct and
constant communication by wire with
the authorities at Washington.

Who is HE?
DIR. TOM SHE BIN


Is one of family who have been
physicians from one generation to
another. They have but one class
OF remedies, which are extracted
from roots, bark and herbs, and
whose excellence has been proved
by their use for hundreds of years.
No minerals are used by us, we thus
avoid the dire effects of poisons
left in the system so often by the
use of mineral remedies. Our herb
medicines have never failed to cure
any disease that is durable when
taken in time. We diagnose any
and all complaints through the
pulse without asking questions.
We guarantee a cure where our di-
rections are complied with. Read
