Moro, formerly civil governor of Ha-

in the course of an interview yester-
day: Although 1 would not oppose
annexation after native incapacity for
government had been shown 1 do not
think that it should be enforced upon
the people who, after half a century of
fighting. have earned independence. My
knowledge of American honesty COM
pels the belief that the government of
the United Stateswill keep the promises
which President Mckinley has made
To violate those promises would dis
grace the president and the nation in
the eyes of the world. The establish
ment of a supreme court in Cuba is. in
my opinion, the first actual step to-
wards recognition of the independence
of the Cubans. If that were not the
intention the highest courts of Cuba
would not be final; those of the United
States being higher, cases would be sub
ject to appeal there"

of Food To Be Analysed.
Chicago, May 12-Before the senate
pure food committee yesterday four
prominent witnesses testified as to the
effect on the human stomach of the use
of antiseptics and "embalming fluids
and preservatives in foods and drink. In
general they were agreed that the sub
stances used We're deleterious, and that
in many cases they were poisonous.
Either prohibit their use, they declared,
or compel the manufacturer and user
to brand them plainly and explicitly so
that the consumer may KNOW exactly
what is being eaten. These witnesses
were Henry C. Pifard, a New York
physician; Abbott c. Prescott, of the
University CT Michigan, professor of hy
gienic chemistry; Victor c. Vaughn. of
Ann Arbor professor of hygiene, and
II. c. Adams, dairy and food commits
sioner in Wisconsin.
Bromo SeItzer Poisonous.
DR.. Piffard made specific reference to
foods and drugs which are being gener-
ally adulterated. sometimes with dam
serous results to the consumer. Bromo
settler, he said, is one of these. Properly
it should consist of bromide of potas-
kind, and the ingredients of seltzer
water. But it appears" he continued,
that acetanilide is being extensively
used instead. In the now famous Ad-
ans case the experts examination of
the bromo showed the presence of the
acute poison of acetanilide, so that / be-
lieve its use is widespread"
Labels Should Tell the Truth.
All the witnesses held that what was

sold for what it is. even when sup
posed harmless products are used in
the food. Dr. Piffard said that salt was
adulterated with corn starch and that
