No aid can reach Havana while the
blockade lasts.
Dewey is the bright particular star thus
far.
IfHavana is bombarded, it is liable to
go up in smoke. Havanas have been
smoked before.
1t is said Roosevelt's Rough Riders are
popular in San Antonio. They are likely
to be unpopular in Cuba.
The United States has ceased buying
mules. 1t was not the mules, but the
lack of them, that was holding the war
back.

In the TIMES this week will be found
the advertisement of the Gipsy fortune
tellers, who have become the talk Of the
hour. The Gipsy has always been cred
tied with the ability to correctly read the
lines in ones hand, every one of which it
is claim ed has a meaning. and those who
have visited :he present luXuriously fitted
up camp at ass Westminster street, this
city, have been amazed at the analysis
which have been made from their respec-
tive palms. The price, 10 cents, is the
lowest ever charged, and besides the tell
ing Of a persons fortune, there is an
opportunity afforded to view some excel
lent specimens OF carving which are on
exhibition without extra charge.

FIREPROOFING METHODS TESTED.

Mr. Ide the president Of the Home Life In
surance Company. has issued n statement call
ing attention to the vindication Of modern fire
proof construction given by the success of his
company's building in wlthstanding the recent
fire With good reason, he thinks II credit TO
the building that II withstood the flames, suf-
fering only superficial damages without any
injury 10 the steel framework or any bulglng
or weakening Of the walls, or saggng or fall
ing of the floors and he Is entitled TO take pride
i'm the service which the building was to the
city as a barrier to the spread Of the fire The
result Of the ordeal certainly justnes the wis
dom OF the directors In investing their money
in such structure. and ought 10 silence the
carplng critics who complain Of the expcndi-
lures Of holders Of trust funds for the erection
of modern expensive office buildings. These
are shown 10 he properties safe, If properly
planned from all ordinary risks Of loss.
But while Mr. Idc points out with perfect
truth all the credits to which the Home Insur-
ance Buildin: is entitled for enduring n Sc
we're fire test. he fails to comment on or notice
the few weaknesses Of the building which
opened It to such damage as it sustained and
caused widespread impression outside Of this
city that the great structures for which New
York is famous had proved themselves worth
less OF course. that was mistaken impress
sion. which will gradually be corrected. Its
correction might have been expedited by OFF,
cial notice Of the defects as well as the OK
cellences OF the particular piece Of freproof
construction under discussion. which thus would
have brought sharply before the public the
freedom of nreproof construction itself from
all responsibility for burned-out floors and the
dcsIrability in future buildings Of leaving no
