HOW CUBANS LIE.
Hard TO Tell Whether They PreNari-
cate Through Ignorance
or Malice.

1t is often hard to tell whether Gu.
ban lies to YOU from ignorance or NAL
ice. On ordinary occasions. and about
matters that do not promise 10 affect
himself. he is fairly truthful, but he
seems to know no reason why he
shouldn't tell lie if he wants to. TIC
the average Cuban who has always lived
on his own island, lie is thing to
tell whenever it will serve any uscfnl
purpose-such as getting him out of a
scrape. or securing an advantage. OF
getting money out of somebody, or con-
cliating some one, or creating a good
impression. Here the absence of NOR
al sense becomes apparent. With the
Cuban lying is not matter of right
but of policy, his short-sightedness pre-
venting him from perceiving that to-
days advantage may be tomorrow
loss. The statement. common among
Americans who have lived in Cuba. that
the Cubans are all liars is much nearer
the truth than most congratulations.
Though they usually tell the truth.
nearly all of them assimilate or equivo-
cate whenever they see the occasion
Hence il is not always easy to tell what
a Cuban thinks or how he feels about
the future of the island. He sometimes
tells you what he thinks you want TO
hear. Every man of property wants
Cuba to be under American control. but
he will not admit il before crowd, or
even to another Cuban. unless con-
WINGED that he. too, is heartily in favor
of it. The trait appears likewise in ac-
counts of the Cuban army. However. il
is only fair TO say that the glowing de-
scriptions given by the Cubans of the
performances and the glorious victories
of that somewhat mythical force are
not intentional, deliberate cold blooded
lies. Carried away by imaginations as
fertile as the soil of their island. they
actually believe their own monstrous
inventions. For. after all. the Cuban
loves better than all other things on
earth to strike an attitude. to pose. to
strut, and brag. and make himself out
great man and his gentle fellow is
landers great nation.
Thousands of Cubans really believe
that there was once band of men
worthy TO be called Guam army, and
that they fought battles. Others adj
init that there were merely little com
panies of starving stragglcrs. who some
times fired their two cartridges apiece
from ambush at Spanish scouting par
ties and then scattered. But they all
think they did great execution. Get
some American or Englishman who was
with them TO tell you his view of il. 1t
will be discouragingly different. Cuba
is infested with after the war" SOL
diers, braggadocio mock heroes who
never got within earshot of fighting.-

Efficiency In the Service During the
War with spain VIII Determine
the Selection Rather Than poIiti-
cal Pull-The order of Preference
to be Observed.

Washington, July 1.-Since the an
Douncement that about 10000 yolun
toers were to be mustered into the
army for service in the Philippines,
| the president has been deluged with
applications for commissions. Almost
every congressional caller has one or
more applicants whom he presses OF
the presidents attention.
Applications Placed ON F'iIc.
The president requests all his vis-
tors to file their applications with
Adjt.-Gen. Corbin, AT the same time he
makes it clear, in general way, that
the policy of the administration il,
granting commissions will be to give
pr cference to volunteer officers who
showed ability and who performed
valuable service during the Spanish
wal. Some regular officers are also to
be given volunteer commissions, in the
belief that one or two regular officers
ia regiment will be of great advan
tage. The number of officers to be
commissioned is being carefully guard
ed TO prevent scramble.
The Officers to be Chosen.
Gen. Otis has selected officers for
the regiments to be organized unde,
his supervision, and the war depart.
ncnt officials are going over the eff
ficiency reports of officers who served
during the Spanish war for the pur-
pose OF securing leaders for the regi-
ments to be organized at home. The
president will have the appointment
of 40 officers; namely: One colonel,
one Iieutenant-colonel. three majors.
IA captains, II first lieutenants, II sec
ord lieutenants, three medical officers
and one chaplain for each regiment.
M general officers will be appointed.
for the reason that there will be n
surplus of major-generalS and briga
dier-generals after the old volunteer
officers are mustered out.
The Order of Selection.
H. making selections of new officers
the preference will be as follows:
First-Ofiicers of the volunteers who
distinguished themselvesin action Dur
ing the Spanish war.
Second-Officerso of the regular army
who have earned, but have not vet re.
ceived promotion for conspicuous serv-
ice at the front during the Spanish
var.
Third-Noluntecrs of the Spanish
war who did not get to the front. but
whose efficiency reports while in
camp show them to be competent to
command troops.
Only very small percentage of of
fcers of the regular army, it is stated.
will be appointed, for the reason that
there is already a shortage of officers
in the regular establishment on ac-
count of illness.

A Mystic riOuA Drain Gland =,

Very recently it has been discovered
that there is connected with the brain
small gland called the infundibula
gland, which apparently supplies a
chemical substance to the brain, there
to be diffmsed through the brain cav
tiles. 1t is thought that this substance
is indispensable TO the health of the
brain. and there is promise that the
study OF this gland, in animals and man,
will enable physicians to understand
and treat certain diseases CT the brain
which are now very obscure.-Boston
