CURRENT COMMENT.

The Columbia Is. CO State Dem.) says:
1--WE do not credit the reports of a rising
in Cuba. Certainly there will be no revolt,
respectable in size or character, under the
conditions now existing. The Cubans have
been promised independence, and they
mean to be independent but they will not
rise against thel United States unless
the bad faith of this country toward them
Is well established. These reports come
from fools or from Observation-Disclosures anx-
ious to poison the American mind against
the Cubans"

The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says:
1T was a characteristic bit of Mckinley
luck that the breakdown of the insurrec-
ton in the Philippines should occur just
in time to enable ham to announce it in his
message to Congress as a fact instead of
being obliged to refer 10 1t as a hope IN
realized"

Islands. Unfortunately, the monster rep
tile was accidentally killed two weeks out
from the islands. A sharp piece of timber
fell on the deck and pierced the animals
lungs. The turtle coughed blood for a
while and an attempt was made to plas-
ter up the hole, but the injured tortoise
died in the fortnight. AS scientists esti-
mate the average life of these turtles at
200 years, death within two weeks of in

turtle mas died natural death in the
memory of the oldest inhabitant During
the two centuries that scientists have al
lowed it TO live. some accident generally
0efalls the turtle. Many have met their
death by falling over precipices, and a
number have been overtaken by the lava
ilows of these volcanic islands In fact

zen leh SHOWS marks on its shell of having

are scars on its she'll showing that the

OF cactus leaves was brought on the
schooner as food for the turtles.
H. Il. Snodgrass, an instructor in zool-
ogy, at Stanford University, and E, Heller.
geological student there, went on the
Whalen for the purpose of making scien-
tltlc collections. One of the giant tortoises
belonged to them, and they have in addI-
ton $50 varieties of fish. Sixty-two vari-
cues OF fish We're already known on these
ISLANDS, which are remarkably rich zool-
ogically OF the fish brought back TO
Stanford, ninety specimens are new to
science. The collegians bring also most
complete collection of insects, many of
them unclassitied, and fine collection
of birds and reptiles. They have speoi-
men of marine iguana, or sea lizard, six
feet long.
The college men report that the turtles,
though still numerous on Albemarle. have
disappeared from the other islands, except
on Duncan Island, where one species OF
the testudo family still exists. There are
three species on Aloemarle, but on the
other islands, each Of which had once its
separate species, the turtles are extinct.
The inhabitants of the islands kill the
turtles for their oil. and the supply is
steadily growing less. The turtles brought
back on the Whalen are worth from 500
TO $500 apiece. There are ten some Of
them bound for museums, some for 20
ologicai gardens, and more for the soup
kettle.
