GRANTS ILLNESS.
Said Not to Have Been Due Entirely
TO TobaccO-Cancer from
Pipe Smoking.

Notwithstanding all the good argu-
ments that have been offered against
The evils Of excessive smoking, it can
hardly be claimed that the habit is en-
rirely responsible for the production
of cancer of the lips, mouth or throat,
Gays the New York Herald. Since the
illness Of Gen. Grant it has been the
popular belief that the dreaded dis
case from which he suffered was caused
by his overindulgence in tobacco. Thus
II may be easy 70 believe from a report
that another victim Of tobacco has been
added to the long list of similar suf-
ferers.
The facts, however, in these cases do
not by any means confirm the theory.
1t was well settled in Gen. Grants case
that tobacco in itself was not the in
itiative cause of his throat trouble, but
merely induced a subsequent aggrava-
ton of symptoms by the extra irrita-
tion of the smoke passing over the al
ready diseased surface.
1t is quite true that cancer of the lips
is very common among pipe smokers,
but the real factor Of harm is not the
tobacco or any special poison it may
contain, but the persistent, localized ir-
ritation of the pipestem. Clay pipes,
above all others, are particularly harm
ful, as they are the NEST easily heated,
have rough surface for the lip, are
mostly used by persistent smokers and
are usually held stationary on one side
81 the mouth, all of which tends to
focalize and intensity the irritation
which determines the malignant
growth. The first indication of the dis
ease is O watery patch on the lip at the
usual point Of contact with the pipe
stem. When discovered early it is per
fectly amenable to surgical treatment,
the percentage of cures being larger
than that of any other form of cancer.

MY UNCLE AND MY AUNT.
An Ingenious French Writer Explains
= FacetiOus Expression That Is
Very Common.

An ingenious French writer has been
explaining to a curious world why the
pawn-broldng establishments are called
my aunt" Una tante), says the Lon
don News. Prince de Joinville, son of
Louis Philippe, was kept very short of
money In his youth. One day the father
noticed that the prince was not wearing
q splendid gold watch that had been
given to him by his mother. "Where
is your watch?" asked the bourgeois
king. "At my aunt's," was the reply.
Princess Adelaide was interrogated on
the subject, but she knew nothing
about it. Then the young scapegrace
admitted that he had pawned it. ''My
aunt" therefore, became proverbial for
the mont-de-piete. But then, it may be
asked how 10 comes about that the
pawnbroker in England is facetiously
spoken ofas ''uncle" because the French
say "aunt." Here in England every
thing goes by contraries. The French
coachman drives on the right, the Eng
ish on the left; the French soldier has
red trousers, the English soldier a red
coat; the Frenchman eats an oyster
out of the hollow half of the shell, the
Englishman out of the fiat half; the
French epicure drinks champagne after
dinner, the English epicure during din
ner, and so forth. 1t is all u case Of pure
"cussedness."

RUSSIA AND CHINA AT ONE.
Report That the Czar Would FaciIi-
tate the Expectation OF CeIes-
tiRl Products.

The intimacy of China and Russia has
most profound causes, says the Chau-
tauquan. The Chinese have a very dis
tnct feeling of their interests. Be
tween Russia and Chinese interests
there is no opposition; there is simili-
tude. England, the United States. Ger
many and France have only one object:
To make of China an immense market
for the product Of their industry. to i'm
pose upon it, by force, if need be, their
merchandise. On the contrary, Russia
and Japan seek to facilitate the ex-
portation in Europe of Chinese prod
ncts Russia, with its railroads, win
be the middleman between producing
China and consuming Europe. The
Russian provinces produce nothing
which China furnishes; they have
every advantage in being put in contact
with the innumerable population Of the
Celestial empire.
The immense current of exchanges
which will be established between
China and Russia by the new railway
will carry life and prosperity into the
Siberian steppes. In exploiting China
the Russlans will with the same stroke
throw Siberia open to improvement;
they will rapidly make 1t one of the
greatest centers Of agricultural produc-
ton in the world. In the economic de-
velopment of China, Russia has moth
ing to lose and everything to gain.

The cruisers Don Antonio dc Ulloa and
the Mindanao We're also badly damaged
On this encounter.
That the American squadron received
severe damage in the engagement cam
oot be doubted. Early reports had it
that five OF Commodore Deweys ships
had been sunk. Later advices from
Madrid put the number at two. 1t is
impossible to ascertain anything more
definite than this, but It Is considered
highly significant that the latest ad-
vices received from Madrid and Lisbon
make no mention Of any American ship
being destroyed.
There were undoubtedly heavy losses
In men on both sides. one apparently
trustworthy report states that the
Spanish had 200 killed and 400 wounded
Trustworthy details Of the American
loss OF life viii hardly be obtalnable
until Commodore Dewey has taken Ma
nlla or has sent a vessel with dispatch
er 20 Hongkong.

have been made worse by the flocking

A CRUSHING DEFEAT.
London Confident That our Victory was
Noble One.


Noble One.
LONDON. May Awhile II is quite
clear that the Spanish squadron has
suffered a crushing defeat. the dis
patches leave unclear the intensely in
terestlng question whether the Amer,
lean squadron has suffered material
damage
All news thus far comes from Spanish
sources, but II seems evident that Com
modore Dewey has not captured Ma
nila. Unless he is able to make another
attack and capture the town. he win
be In an awkward position, having no
base upon which to retire and to reit.
Probably therefore the United States
squadron will be obliged to make for
San Francisco. as the entrance to Ma
Mia bay was heavily mined with tor
pedoes.
Commodore Dewey displayed great
pluck and daring in making for the
inner harbor According to private ad-
vices received from Madrid, the United
States cruisers Olympia and Raleigh
and two other vessels, the names Of
which are not given, entered the harbor.
No dispatches give details as TO the
vessels actually engaged on either side.
IL appears to be incorrect that the
American ships finally anchored behind
the merchantmen ON the east side of the
bay. 1t should be the west side.
Probabilities point in the direction OF
the second engagement having occurred
through the Spaniards trying to pre-
vent the landing of the American
wounded

A Mixed Rnce.

Not all Americans are Anglo-Saxon.
Even in the south, where the proper
ton of people drawn from that source
is greatest, there are strong infusions
of French, Irish and Scotch-Irish blood.
In the west are extensive German, Irish
and Scandinavian populations, in the
east vast Irish population, large Ca
lsadian French element and an immense
number of Germans. Even what is
called the Anglo-SaXon stock is mixed
with Dutch, Huguenot and Scottish
contributions When this country has
fighting to do She does not look to one
race among her people, but to all, and
her foreign relations cannot be planted
on the afiinities of Anglo-Americaus or
any other ethnic element.

Dispatch 10 Spnin's War Minister From
the Governor of the Philippines.
MADRID May 2-The following is
the text of the official dispatch from the
governor general of the Philippines to
the minister Of war, Lieutenant General
Correa, as 10 the engagement of Ma
nila:
Last night April 30. the batteries at
the entrance to the fort announced the
arrival Of the enemys squadron, fore
ing a passage under the obscurlty Of the
night. AT daybreak the enemy took up
positions opening with a strong fire
against Fort Cavite and the arsenal.
"Our feet engaged the enemy in a
brilliant combat. protected by the Ca
vlte and Manila forts. They obliged the
enemy. with heavy loss. to maneuver
repeatedly At Q o'clock the American
squadron took refuge behind the for
eign merchant shipping, on the east
side of the bay.
"Our fleet considering the enemy's
superiority, naturally suffered a severe
loss. The Maria Christina Is on fire
and another ship. believed 10 be the
Don Juan de Austria, was blown up.
"There was considerable loss of life.
Captain Cadardo. commanding the Ma
1
cannot now give details. The spirit OF
the army, navy and volunteers is excel
lent"
The second engagement according TO
El Heraldo, was apparently begun by
the Americans, after landing their
wounded on the west side Of the bay.
In the latter engagement the Spanish
ships Mindanao and Ulloa suffered
heavily Ministers speak Of Serious but
honorable losses" 4.
Notwithstanding the severe damage
the Spanish ships sustained naval ofn-
GERS here consider that further opera
tions by the American squadron viii be
conducted under great difficulty, owing
TO their having no base where they
can repair and recoal or obtain fresh
supplies OF ammunition.
Another account says the Mindanao
and Ulloa or Ullao. were severely dam
aged in the second engagement
An official telegram received at lat
or hour from the governor general Of
the Philippines says:
Admiral Montojo has transferred his
flag TO the cruiser Isla de Cuba from the
cruiser Relna Maria Christina. The
Reina Maria Christina was completely
burned. as was also the cruiser Castil-
Ian, the other ships having TO retire
from the combat and some being sunk
TO avoid their falling into the hands Of
the enemy"
The Relna Maria Christina was
steel cruiser Of 1880 tons and $3.50 in
dlcated horsepower she was about 2S2
feet long, AZ feet breadth OF beam and
16 feet deep. She was built at Ferrol in
1886 and carried six 60 inch Hontoria
guns. two 81 inch guns, two 2.2 inch

Maxim guns
The cruiser Castillo was n wooden
vessel Of 3,342 tons was 246 feet long, SC

Gated horsepower was 4,000 She was
