RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAINE.
An Eminent Judge Holds That Spain
j. Accountable.

Justice William W. Goodrich, presiding
Justice of the seconu Appellate Division,
lectured last night before the Law De-
pa emit OF tho Brooklyn Institute Of
Arr and Sciences on the subject, IN
ternIt.Onll Law in Admiralty with
Special Reference TO the Laws Govern
ing the Rights OF Nations with Respect
20 Vessels OF War" The hall an ia Mon
tague street. where the gathering took
place. was crowded 10y a representative
audience. which included several Of JUS
tice G0Odrich's associates on the bench
and leading members Of Kings county
bar. There was a keen interest 90 hear
what Justice Goodrich would have 20 say
on a topic so closely bearing on the trag-
edy of Havana harbOr. in view OF his
reputation as a noted admiralty lawyer
and member OF the international MARI
time Conference in 1ss9 This Is part
of his address,
In times Of peace war vessel OF any
nation Is welcome 90 enter the ports Of
any country OF the civilized world. In
deed. it may almost be said that by comfy
and long established usage awar vessel
has the right Of entering any harbOr and
receiving the protection from any nation
receiving protection from any nation with
which the country whose flag she flies
IS al peace The right Of entering car
ries with IL tho right 20 immunity while
in the haroor against injury from ex-
ternal causes within the power Of the
Government 10 prevent. IL. is customary
for the local Government officials 10 in
dicate the place where war vessel shall
anchor. and this necessarily and natural
~ imposes upon the officials the duty Of
selecting a pace of safe anchorage.
1T is true that a nation has the right
10 adopt any means which IL may see mt
for the protection or It's coasts and har-
bors in times Of war. II may have the
bottom Of It's harbors covered with mines
and torpedoes in times of war but they
must be so arranged as not 20 put in
danger the visiting war vessel in time OF
peace. and when II assumes the right
to locate the anchorage Of the vessel IL
also assumes the burden OF a safe lOca-
ton. II the location shus selected Is
contiguous to a dangerous erection or
construction as n subterranean mine,
known 70 the Government but unknown
to the commander OF the vessel and this
location results In damage 10 the vessel,
Il would seem to follow cOnclusvely that
the power which selected the place for
anchorage IS responsible for any injury
which necessarily and naturally results.

DOING GOOD EVERYWHERE.
A Medical Discovery That Erectualiy
Cures Piles In Every Form.

For many years physicians have expert
.ncntcd in vain, seeking q remedy when
would effectually cure piles and otheI
rectal troubles. without resoriins 10
surgical operation. Many remedies were
found 10 give temporary relief, but none
could be depended upon 10 make lasting,
satisfactory cure.
Within a recent period. however, a new
remedy. the Pyramid I'le cure, mas been
repeatedly tested IN hundreds Of cases
and with highly satisfactory results.
The first effect OF the Pyramid Pile Cure
Is 10 instantly remove the pain and irri-
tation generally present and from that
tim on the cure rapidly progresses and
before the patient Is hardly aware Of II
he is entirely cured. The remedy seems
10 act directly on the nerves and blood
vessels OF the parts affected as IT comes
into direct contact with them and sets up
a healthy action. which in a perfectly
natural way brings the parts TO their
normal condition.
The remedy does its work without any
pain or inconvenience 10 the sufferer and
IS Justly considered one OF the most
meritorious discoveries of modern medi-
cine.
Piles Is one Of the most annoying and
often times dangerous diseases with
which humanity is afflicted. If neglected
IL frequently develops into fistula or some
equally fatal or incurable trouble, where
a. by the timely use of this simple but
effective remedy no one need sufer
single day from any form Of piles unless
they want 10.
The Pyramid pile Cure is perfectly
harmless containing no mineral pOisOns,
and is also very reasonable in price. cost
ing but 80 cents a package. II is sold
in drug stores everywhere. The manu-
facturers OF the remedy are the Pyramid
Drug Company. of Marshall, Mich who
have placed this excellent preparation be
fore the public only after giving II thor
ough and repeated tests In the hands OF
reputable physicians. The results in hun
dreds of cases have convinced us that IL
will not disappolnt you.

cavalry skirmish in the vicinity of the

ing the last few days the activity of the
Spaniards has been particularly noticea-
BILE. Its trains have been making their
way to the batteries: detachments have
been working on empla lacements and there
have been other signs showing that the
Spaniards are preparing a desperate re-
sistance.
The insurgents. about 5000 strong. have
taken a position on a mountain to the
westward. Two thousand insurgents of
this gathering are unarmed.
Gen. Maximo Gomez now about l59
miles inland. is making his way toward
Santiago. Admiral Sampson is actively
cooperating with the insurgents.
Gen. Miniet. of the insurgent forces,
and his staff went on board the New

The naval officers have been doing
splendid and daring work in carrying
communications to the insurgents, land

the purpose of gaining information. Up
on the gunboats Suwanee and Vixen this
work has chiefly devolved.
Lieutenant Sharp, of the Vixen, and
Lieutenant Commander Delehanty, of the
Suwanee, have been daily intrusted with
important missions and have carried them
out successfully. The Vixen's work has
been chiefly confined to carrying messages
to and fro. but the Suwanee has been oc-

with equipments and provisions. These
were handed over on Wednesday to some
500 insurgents, who came down to the
beach, the main body remaining in the
mountains.
The debarkation of supplies was tedious,
but uninterrupted. The insurgents report
ed that irregular engagements between
their forces and the Spanish cavalry were
of daily occurrence. The Cubans were
hard up for supplies and ammunition, and
were faily overjoyed at the sight of the
Suwanee's cargo. Some. almost ravenous,
hacked at the stacks of bacon and ate raw
beef
They had been living on lines cocoanuts
and sweet potatoes.
Ensign Gilpin, of the Suwanee, went
ashore and accompanied the Cubans to
their temporary camp, where he found ten
or a dozen wounded men badly in need of
surgical attendance. Bandages for them
we're sent from the Suwanee. The casual
ties were the result of a brush on the
previous night with Spanish cavalry.
Ensign Gilpin, describing his experience
at the camp. which is about 10 miles in
land, said:

Spain at the end of the war will be

this nothing could be done to prevent it.
