TO CIRCUMYENT OLD AGE.
The Problem Said to Have Been Solved
in Chicago.

Chicago, May lG.-The Tribune says:
A discovery which, it is claimed, solves
the problem of circumventing old age, has
Just been made public by Prof. Joseph R.
Hawley and Alexander c. Weiner, Of the
Chicago Clinical School. The return to
youth, it is asserted, is produced by hyl O.
dermic injections Of the lymphatic fluid
of animals, particularly young goats. The
discovery was made a year ago, and SUBJ
seGuent secret demonstrations ofits efficacy
are proved.
The. general theory Of the discovery is
that if the mineral deposits which accumu-
late in the bones in the process of life can
be replaced with the life cells contained in
the lymphatic glands of goats, deteriora-
ton of the bones will be prevented and
elasticity and youth will be retain d in the
system much longer.
A number of animals and human beings,
it is said, have been experimental on in
Chicago with good results. The apostles
of the discovery do not claim that a man
or woman thus charged with goats 'life
cells" will live forever, but they say life
will be prolonged, perhaps doubled.

In SANTIAGO PROVINCE.
Gen. Wood Returns from a Trip to the
Interior.

Santiago de Cuba, May 16.-Major
General Leonard Wood, military COVER
nor of Santiago department, arrived here
after his first trip into the interior of the
province. He went TO Manzanillo by
steamer but returned by the overland
route, accompanied by Lieutenant Mat
thew Hanna, his aide.
The country traversed he found in q
generally prosperous condition. The
planters are planting cane and expect a
full crop next year. Stories regarding
bandits seem for the most to have been
promoted by professional politicians who
have an interest in maintaining disturb
ing conditions.
Everywhere General Wood found the
people anxious for greater security, and
the annexation idea is undoubtedly grow
ing, in spite of all efforts on the part OF
agitators to the contrary. Along the
whole route he was received with enthus-
iasm and at several points with very elabo'
rate arrangements to welcome him.
Decoration day services will be held on
May 80 throughout the province, partic-
ularly at Guantanamo AMI Slboney, as
well as in Santiago.

THE CUBAN SITUATION.
War Department Does Not Think 1t
Serious.

Washington, May 16.-General Brooke
has not reported to the War Department
any serious situation in Cuba, and ii is not
believed at the Depai tment that any alarm
need be felt regarding the condition of
affairs. No advice is given General Brooke,
as it has been the policy of the President
to clothe the officers in command in the
islands with plenary power to deal with
situations as they arise, and hold such otli-
cels responsible.
Communications that General Brooke
has made to the War Department regard
ing the situation are not given to the pub
lie, but the officials understand that the
source of the present trouble is that the
generals" of the Cuban army are disap-
pointed because they are not likely to
realize as much out of the money appro-
priated for the army as they think they
should

TlLLMAN HELD RESPONSIBLE.
African Methodists Adopt a Plan to
Prevent Lynching in the South.

New York, May 15.-The seventy
eight session of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Episcopal Zion Church Conference for
Eastern New York to-day unanimously
approved the report of the Committee on
"The State OF the Country" which in
cluded the following:
"We deplore the sad and barbarous in
cident at Wilmington, N. c., which has
blackened the fair name of the Old North
State, and for which Senator Tillman, of
South Carolina, is responsible.
"Not only does this incident, but others
as hideous and barbarous, bring TO our
minds the burning of Sam Hose at the
stake in Georgia, the ban barity of which
could only be exceeded by the cannibals
in unciviized seclions-a blot upon the
pages of American history; the recent
lynchings in Tennessee, Mississippi and
Alabama, the shooting of number of
colored prisoners in Georgia, and the at
lynching of colored man in
New York, strikes in the mining district,
denote the barbaric trend of the Ameri-
can people, all of which we condemn as
great United States govern
ment.
"Various plans have been advanced as
solutions of these great wrongs and wan
ton violations Of laws. Many persons ad-
vocate recourse to arms, but your commit
tee, after carefully studying the condi-
tions, deprecate any such plan to the solu-
ton of this great problem.
ave would recommend as the best
thing to be done is to demand protection
from the law-maklng bodies through the
candidate who asks for the suffrage of the
people,"

TO KEEP UP THE WAR.
This is Said to Be General AguinaldO'S
Intention.

London, May 15.-The Filipino Junta
has inst received message from Aguinal
do via Hong Kong, saying the Filipino
government has decided to continue the
wor at all costs until independence is Sc
cured.
Washington, May l5.-It is expected at
the War department that General OIS
will take steps at once to replace the
Spanish garrison at Zamboaga with United
States troops. The indications are that
comparatively small force will sulhce, pro-
vided that it is supported by one or TWO
cunboats. The place is one OF the great,
est strategic Importance, beng the capital
Of the Island of Mindanoa, the second
largest in the Philippine group and goou
seaport. 1t was to this point that the
Snanisb forces retreated from 1loilo when
that town was evacuated, without notice
to-Sbe American forces. The town Is easl-
" Sefensible with small artillery force.
The fact that the insurgents are in posses
sion of rapldfring guns makes the situa-
ton at Zamboaga more serious, but 1t is
not believed here that they have large
supply of the ammunition necessary to
operate the weapons, which will conse-
ouently soon become useless to them
Through unofficial agents, the govern
mont here has been quietly making lnyes-
tigation into the state OF affairs IN the
Sulu groups south of the Visayas Islands,
with view to determining whether by
good management the inhabitants cannot
be brought into allegiance to the Unlted
States without instructions. The natives
are generally Mohammedans' and owe al
Iegiance to a Sultan, whom the Spaniards
have never been able to bring into more
than nominal subjection. He maintains
harem and lives in state, and tits probable
that an annuity will have to be provided
for him out of the revenues of the island
after the United States take possession

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The Richmond Times in speaking of the
May conference says" 1t made war u2-
on no man, but simply attacked a sys-
TEN that had become an abuse and de-
clared itself in favor OF the great Demo
cratic principle of popular elections"
But it did not have the courage to favor
the true Democratic principle of honest
elections, and condemn the election sys.
tenn in Virginia which has practically de-
stroycd popular electors, which are hon.
est elections.
They have already begun TO snub Gen
eral Wheeler, because of his expansion
views and defense Of the Administration.

A number of gentlemen at Washington

him with home where he can spend his

FOUGHT THE WILD WEST" "
Battle Of Princeton Students and
PaWnGe Bills Men,

Princeton, n j., May 15.-Princeton
students and Pawnee Bills "Wild West"
employees INDUCED in pitched battle to-
day, and continuous and serious rioting
was prevented only by the presence Of
men with cool heads and the action of
President Patton, of Princeton University,
later in the day, in calling mass meet
ing of all the students.
For fifty years it has been an unwritten
law of Princeton that no circus parade
must pass through the streets. Every
show proprietor in making his dates has
always left Princeton from the list, for it
had been a matter of common knowledge
that the students would enforce the un-
written law.
This morning Pawnee Bills Wild West
combination violated traditions and pa
raded. The result was the fercest battle
Princeton has seen in many years.
When the posters were hung up a few
days ago announcing the advent of Paw
nee Bill, it was at first considered a joke
Finally, when it became known that the
management of the show was really in
earnest, the town authorities, fearing
trouble, advised the circus men not to at
tempt a parade. This advice was un
needed.
As result of today's fight, one man il
unconscious and may die, and numbe
of students and employees Of the show arr
nursing wounds received in the fray.
That the show would be upset at nigh
seemed certainty until late this after
noon, when President Patton called ;
mass meeting of all the undergraduate
and the faculty, and the result of tn
meeting indicates that the show will leav
town unmolested, but it will have los
money, for word has been passed throug
the town that no one was to enter th
tent, and the townspeople, who are i
, sympathy with the students, are unit i
refusing to attend.

FRENCH HON0RS FOR DEWEY.
The AdmiraI's Home Coming by Way
of the Mediterranean Likely to
be a Triumphal Tour.

Washington, May 15.-Admiral Dew
ey's home coming by way of the Mediter-
ranean is likely to give occasion for dis
tinguished honors from the navies of Eu-
rope, most of them being represented by
extensive squadrons in those waters and
some of them having their chief naval sta
tions at Mediterranean ports.
Already Ambassador Cambon of France
has called the attention of the authorities
at Paris to the return of Admiral Dewey
by way of the Mediterranean and the
PROBABLE sailing of his flagship, Olympia,
past he French naval ports in Algiers.
These are opposite the British possessions
of Gibraltar and Malta, at the entrance to
the Mediterranean, and are easy and nat
ural stopping places along that route.
1t is hardly expected that the Admiral
will touch at Toulon the great naval depot
of France. At the ports of French Algiers
he will be accorded every honor due not
only to his high rank, but to the universal
esteem in which he is held by the naval
fraternity.
The British authorities have taken no
steps thus far to have the Admiral stop
at British ports, but it was stated today
by one of the British officials that Dewey
would be assured a most enthusiastic
greeting ifhe stopped at any British station
and that undoubtedly steps would be
taken to induce him to touch at Plymouth
and Portsmouth, the southern naval de,
pots of England, if there was any prospect
of his acceptance.
In any event, it is said, the Admira
was quite likely to stop at Malta anc
Gibraltar, and these are the usual coalinE
places. and this would give an opportunity
for an expression of British esteem fo
him. In the event that the Admira
could be induced to stop i'll England en-
route home it is said that he would proba
bly be met at Alden or Port Said by
British escort.
