Koch has analysed the highest and
the cheapest grades of vanilla, and has
found in the latter an OIL liquid which,
when brought into contact with the
mucous membranes Of the body, caused
tremendous irritation and affected the
kidneys to dangerous degree. This
was tried on dog, Of course. Prof.
Koch is certain that the oil substance
does the business, but cannot make out
why 1t acts in ice cream and not in
chocolate or in buildings or in tea. He
is going to investigate, though. He
thinks the heat of cooking may par
alyze the dangerous qualities Of that
particular oil, while the cold increases
them.
Ice cream dealers in this city, to
whom Prof. Koch's analysis has been
submitted, are willing to concede that
vanilla, heretofore thought harmless,
may be murderous wretch after all,
but add the significant information
that little vanilla is used in making ice
cream, the aroma of vanilla being pro-
duced artificially, and this product,
''vanillin," employed almost exclusive
ly in the making of ice cream. The

COLONIAL PROBLEMS.

Out OF the War.

Out OF the War.
NEW YORK, Aug. PA special
from Washington says: New questions
are constantly arising in respect to the
government of Cuba and Porto Rico
some OF which are not only OF great
importance, but such as demand
prompt attention. Among these are
matters relating to public education,
Which, under the Spanish regime, We're
dealt with III a manner entirely diff
ferent from that which prevails in the
United States: This subject is one to
which the president Is already devot-
Ing some attention and in regard to
which his action is awaited with in
terest. In respect to the Spanish West
Indies, the colored people, who form
large proportion of the total popula-
ton, have never enjoyed the privilege
of common or free schools, and the
same IS true to a large degree of the
whole White population. In fact the
educational field In each island is, COM
paratively speaking, q virgin one. How
and by whom it shall be cultivated is
g question of practical moment. It is
not improbable that agencies Of pri-
Fate and associated benevolence, which
were so powerful and useful among
the freedmen Of the South in the later
years of the Civil war, and long after
wards. will be found active in Cuba
and Porto Rico, There, as was the
case in the Southern states, however
the cooperation Of the government will
be necessary,

NAVAL STRATEGISTS RETURN
TO ROUTINE WORK

One of the Evidences That the war
with Spain Is All over Is the Adj
tournament Sine Die of the Men
who Added Largely to the Conn
edy Element of the Conflict Now
Ended.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S. - Another
evidence OF war is about to disappear
1t is the naval war board. This board
will be abolished in a few days. 1t IS
composed of Rear Admiral Sicard,
Capt. A T. Mahan, retired, and Capt
Crowninshield. Capt Mahan enjoys d
world wide reputation as naval STRAIT
egist and has written book on STRAIT
egg. He was recalled from Europe for
the purpose of being placed in control
of the. board. and he gave the country
many illustrations Of how his strategy
worked, but in the meantime the Span
ish squadron, which went into SANTA
go harhor Of it's own accord, was free
to go where II pleased.
Capt. Crowninshield could not give
his undivided attention to the board
on account of his other duties. 1t he
had been able to do so, in the opin-
lon of naval fighters, SIMPSONS squad
ron would still be in pursuit of Ger
vera's squadron. Finally the president
cUrtailed the powers OF the board, and
then the commanders of the navy who
We're afloat began their work of de-
stroying every Spanish warship that
appeared within the range Of their
guns.
Every one remembers the delay in
getting any results from the long vigil
the North Atlantic feet kept, and 1t
Is attributed to this board. The STRAIT

circles. and much anxiety was caused
the country because of the interference
with the movements of the ships. Sew
eral times before Cervera entered San

2. The state of discipline on board
the Maine was excellent and all orders
and regulations in regard to the care
and safety of the ship were strictly car.
ried out.
All ammunition was slowed away in
accordance with instructions, and
proper care vas taken whenever ann
munition was handled.
Nothing was slowed in any one OF
the magazines or shell rooms which
was not permitted to be slowed there.
Captain Had the Keys.
The magazines and shell rooms were
always locked after having been
opened; and after the destruction of
the Maine the keys we're found in their
proper place in the captains cabin,
everything having been reported Sc.
cure that eve at 8 p. m.
The temperatures of the magazines
and shell rooms were taken daily and
reported. The only magazine which
had an undue amount of heat was the
after 10-inch magazine and that did
not explode at the time the Maine was
destroyed. The torpedo war heads
were all stofed in the after part of the
ship under the ward room and neither
caused nor participated in the destruc.
ton of the Maine.
The gun cotton primers and deton.
aters were stored in the cabin aft and
remote from the scene of the explosion.
The waste was carefully looked after
on board the Maine to obviate danger.
Special orders in regard to this had
been given by the commanding officer.
Varnishes, dryers, alcohol and other
com bustiles OF this nature were slowed
on or above the main deck and could
not have had anything to do with the
destruction of the Maine. :
The medical stores were slowed aft
under the ward room and remote from
the zone Of the explosion. S~ ~.

divers and are in fair condition.
On the night of the destruction OF
the Maine everything had been report
ed secure for the night at 8 p. NJ, by
reliable persons, through the proper
authorities, to the commanding officer.
At the time the Maine was destroyed
the ship was quiet and therefore least
liable to accident caused by movements
from those on board.
Two Distinct Explosions.
8. The destruction of the Maine oc-
Cured at 9:40 o. n.. or the 18th day of
February, 1898, in the harbor OF Ha.
vana, Cuba, being at the time moored
to the same buoy to which she had
been taken upon her arrival.
There were two explosions of dis.
tinctly different character, with very
short but distinct interval between
them, and the forward part of the ship
was lifted to marked degree at the
time of the first explosion.
The first explosion was more in the
nature of report, like that of gun;
while the second explosion was more
open, prolonged, and of greater volume.
The second explosion was, in the
opinion of the court, caused by the par
tial explosion of two or more of the
forward magazines of the Maine.
Condition of the Wreck.
4. The evidence bearing on this, be-
ing principally obtained from divers,
did not enable the court to form def.
nate conclusion as to the condition of
the wreck, although it was established
that the after part of the ship was prac-
tically intact, and sank in that condi.
ton very few minutes after the de-
struction of the forward part.
The following facts in regard to the
forward part OF the ship are, however,
established by the testimony:
That portion of the port side of the
protective deck, which extends from
about frame 80 to about frame Al, was
blown up aft and over to port. The
main dock from about frame 80 to
about frame Al was blown up aft and
slightly over to star oard, folding the
forward part of the middle superstrnc.
ture over and on top Of the after part.
This was, in the opinion Of the court,
caused by the partial explosion Of two
or more Of the forward magazines Of
the Maine.

facts warranted, the remedy due. This
course necessarily recommended itself
from the outset to the executive, for
only in the light Of dispassionately
ascertained certainty could it deter
mine the nature and measure Of it's full
duty in the matter.
The usual procedure was followed, as
in all cases of casualty or disaster to
national vessels of any maritime state.
A naval court of inquiry was at once
organized. composed of officers well
qualified by rank and practical expe-
rience to discharge the onerous duty
imposed upon them. Aided by strong
force of wreckers and divers the court
proceeded to make thorough investi-
cation on the spot, employing every
available means for the impartial and
exact determination of the causes
of the explosion. Its operations have
been conducted with the utmost
elaboration and Judgment, and
while Independently pursued no source
of information was neglected and the
fullest opportunity was allowed tor a
simultaneous investigation by the
Spanish authorities.
The finding Of the court of inquiry
was reached after % days of continuous
labor, on the 21st Of March and having
been approved on the 22d by the COM
mander-in- chief of the United States
naval force on the North Atlantic. sta

eminent pilot to Buoy No. 4, to which
she was moored in from five and one.
half to six fathoms at water. =...
The state of discipline on board and
the condition of her magazines, boilers,
coal bunkers and storage compartments
are passed in review with the conclu-
sion that excellent order prevailed, and
that no indication of any cause for an
internal explosion existed in any quar-.
ter At 8 O. clock in the evening Of Feb.

and all was quiet. z.=.= &. .=$=

There were two distinct explosions,
with a brief interval between them.

ship very perceptibly; the second.
which was more prolonged, is attrib.
uted by the court to the partial explo.
sion Of two or more Of the forward
magazines. 531
