However Americans in this country
may change sentiment regarding the
attitude OF this country toward the Fill
lipinos, the Americans already in the
archipelago seem not to undergo eny
rsuarkable change. Our boys Of the
volunteer and regular army-officers and
men alike agree that the FillIpinos ere
incapable of self-government, many OF
them belonging to fanatical tribes or
followers Of unworthy leaders. Exter-
uipating a race to force civilization upon
them may seem incongruous and incon-
sistsnt, bu. land capable of production

Tuesday was the last day of the 18th

too much OF legislator or maybe the

In days agone it was the proper thing
for capital to follow every mining STAN
pede. But not SO of late. Booms are
of doubtful worth and in most cases are
dissolved like a bubble blown from a
clay pipe. Capital prefers sections OF
known value such as the Crystal country
and more especially is this true where
vast deposits of copper and lead are
supplemented by bonanza silver as well
as golden treasure.

Carters Monthly for May.

Carriers Monthly Magazine, publish
ed in Chicago and edited by Opie
Read. is making rapid strides in the
public favor. 1t is the only ten cent
magazine in Chicago devoted exclusi-
vely to American literature, and is
certainly supplying the need for a
western magazine. Each month the
magazine presents an interesting tab
lie of contents, consisting Of short
stories, sketches of travel, and artic-
les of general interest, all profusely
Illustrated; but in an addition to this
each number contains an article Of a
philosophical, economic. or scientific
nature. The leading article in the
May number is "Weltmerism-the
New Era iD Healing" This is cap
able review of the Weltmerl Method of
Magnetic Healing, the new science
that is creating so much interest in
the United States and Europe. The
article takes up the question from a
scientific standpoint, and shows the
fundamental principles upon which
the science is based. The writer Wis
tied the Weltmer Institute at Neva-
da, Mo-, for the purpose of research,
and was astounded at the marvellous
cures effected. Since Professor Welt
mer discovered the new science three
years ago aud commenced its practice
at Nevada, over 10000 patients have
been treated. and the halt, the lame,
and the blind have been cured. The
article also describes how the sick may
be cured at a distance by system of
treatment prescribed by Prof Welt
mer, upon the patients sending to him
statement Of their cases. The cures
effected by this method are as remark
able as when personally treated. The
new science has opened up another
avenue of business for young men and
women, and hundreds are taking the
course of instruction. The Weltmer
Method of Magnetic Healing is win
ming the admiration of the most
noted physicians, for nearly all the
cures effected have been given up by
doctors as hopeless. The remarkable
success attending his discoveries mas
stamped Pro-. S. A. Weltmer as one
of the great men OF the age.

saws there is no section in Cuba labor
ing under the same disadvantages that
is more rapidly recovering from the ef-
fects Of the war than Manicaragua val
lev. which is 20 miles from the rail-
road and accessible only by almost i'm
passable thoroughfares, yet is so enter
prising and so rapidly being recon-
structed that in two years, in the opin-
ion of. General Wilson, its tobacco cut
put will surpass that Of any previous
year. Capital from Boston and Balti-
more has transformed the district into
quite an American settlement.
Taking into consideration the beau
tiful scenery, the abundance Of water,
the richness of the soil and the fact
that good roads are being built, Gen
eral Wilson says he knows Of no section
that yields quicker results to labor and
capital or offers better illustration Of
the possibilities of American enterprise
in Cuba.

FINE CRUISER
Ready to Be Launched by the
Cramps for the Russia Navy
A First Glass Battleship Also
Building.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, October 90
The Russian cruiser Variag, which is
designed to be the fastest armored YES
sci of her class ever constructed by the
Cramp ship building firm, will be
launched on Tuesday with unusual dis
play. Prominent Russian naval at
taches and government officials are ex-
pected at the christening. The choice
of the fair sponsor for the warship has
not yet been made, but the favored one
will be either Miss Cassini, niece of the
Russian ambassador, or Miss Mertnago,
daughter of the Russian attache.
This new Russian cruiser, the con-
struction of which was begun in May,
1898, will be of distinctive type and
will represent the latest development
of the art of naval architecture as ap-
piled to armored sea-going vessels. The
builders in this instance have been
called upon to solve the most difficult
problem that has confronted them in
ship building. The plans call for a
guaranteed speed of % knots for
twelve hours. In order to accomplish
this task she will be provided with
water tube boilers of the Niclausse
type, calculated to develop $4,000 indi-
Gated horse power. The motive power
is to consist of two vertical-inverted,
triple expansion, four cylinder engines
driving twin screws.
The vessel is 400 feet long, So feet
BEAM 10 feet inches draught, and Of
$500 tons displacement Her main
battery will consist of - six-inch
breech loading rifles, and her secondary
battery of twelve 75-millimetre and six
47-millimetres guns, all of the rapid
fire type. The vital parts of the Variag
are to be protected by a steel deck, ex-
tending the whole length of the ship
She will be provided with two under
water torpedo tubes and four above
"e1ICA, oHV oil 'l1iS ouAllldly appliances
and equipment e'mbody the very latest
devices and the most approved develop
ment of modern construction.
The cruisers complement will consist
of twenty-one officers and $50 petty Of
ficers and crew.
The Cramps are also constructing a
high class battleship for Russia to be
named the Retwitzan. The contract
for the two vessels calls for their COM
pletion about October, 1900
