GOMEZ FOR CUBA LIBRE.
Insurgent Cuban Leader Out in An
other Manifesto.

The New York Herald's correspondent
at Habana sends the following under date
of Sunday:
Those who have been led 10 believe that
General Maxine Gomez was persuaded
by the Presidents Commissioner, Robert
p. Porter to look more kindly upon the
continued American occupation of Cuba
may disabuse their minds The grim old
chiertain stun clings fOndly % Cuba IAbre
He has aDated no jot OF his antagonism
To foreign Intervention of any sort, even
though he accepts 100000 for his war
rors.
In letters, published to-day, with his
authority, Gomez gives praise TO his sol
diers for their heroism and fOrtitude.
Continuing, he says:
1T is wonderful that any are left alive
after such horrible struggles and pains
We warn you that We may not yet have
finished the strange destiny that presents
this last trial and humiliation. We are
strangers i'm our own country still wet
with our blood.
WANTS so FORCED GUIDANCE
Forced guidance is hateful 20 Us. II
appears that the Americans are REIN
bursting themselves for their spontaneous
Intervention in our war for independence.
Their delay in that Intervention is still a
shame upon them The Americans, in
stead of aiding are obstructing the es-
Enlistment of free and independent
republic.
This is our house. We are to live In it.
We should furnish il to our own liking.
/ say 10 you, there cannot be peace IN
Cuba while there lasts that transitory
government, imposed by force. and which
is hateful in the eyes Of our people.
Il had hoped to bid farewell to SPANS
heroic soldiers, inviting them TO return
and join US as brothers in upbuilding
Cuba, but the Americans emblttered the
JOY OF cOnquerOrs by the guidance they
impose upon US. Embittering us. they
have also added grief 10 the conquered
in order 10 put an end TO this abnor-
NAL and unjust situation every one Of
us must render his aid rendering anew
all his energies to his country. l. first
Of ALL offer myself without restriction
for the accomplishment Of the great I'M
dertaking Of the revolution-the erection
Of a republic I'm Cuba"

THE ,IcAnAGuAN CANAL.

The bin which the Seu'te passed au-
tlcrizing tho construction OF eanE'
across the Isthmus OF Nicaragua ana
making an appropriation therefor was
'knocked into smithereens" by the House.
The House would have nothing 10 90
with committing the work TO corpora
ton. even though that corporation were
controlled By our government; nor with
having anything 10 the old Maritime Com
many for the franchise it holds and the
work II has done.
The House bill IS a totally different
thing from the Senate bill, and Is pro-
noeed as "A substitute for the latter. II
now remains 10 be seen what VIII be us
fate in the Senate. There is not very
much of this session left for adjusting
tho differences between the two houses
but we trust it will be attempted ana IN
eood spirit Better that the work should
he set on foot by this Congress than by
the next.
The Dispatch has been an open and
avowed believer in the Nicaraguan canal
for many wears. We were a friend of the
paratively small interests on the Pacific.
Now. since we have added the sandwich
Islands and the Philippines TO our ter
ritory, our interest has grown ana deep
,ned. No matter what manner Of gov
eminent we devise for the conquered
philippines. the intercourse between TINS
country and the Philippines and emma
is destined 10 be Of the first importance
And so we shall need a short cut to the
Pacific. I'm order that We may transfer
war vessels and ship and receive goods
Of commerce in the bricfest possible
time.
We are told that the Pacific railroads
are doing all they can f. defeat TINS
canal scheme The ungratelul things
After having been the bcnedciaries Of the
country's magnificent bounty, they. are
scheming TO throttle competition! They
want TO DO all Of the carrying trade be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific.
Wei. they may kill Off this bill at this
session. but they will meet defeat in the
end The American people are bent upon
having this waterway connecting the two
oceans. And they viii have it sooner OF
later.
As to the details Of the bill. we have
little 10 say. We can only express our
earnest hope that Congress will make
them honest and fair. Let it be mindful,
too. to treat Nicaragua and Costa Rica
decently. and be sure TO get as clean and
clear a right of way as possible.
And don't let Congress deceive itself,
or try TO deceive the public, with the idea
that the canal can be built for anything
like a hundred millionsl That is i'm
possible. il will cost much more, and
# will be worth much more.
That is a fact as TO which Congress
must be we'll informed. and it is unworthy
of its dignity that it should pretend to
ignore it.

A Christiania correspondent says it was
understood that it was Henrik Ibsen's
plan. after having finished his triumphal
progress through Scandinavia. TO write
his memoirs and give particulars as to
the meaning OF his various works. This
idea, however, he has abandoned. Ibsens
reconsideration is greatly TO be regret
ted, as there are thousands of persons
who would like to know what Ibsen's
works mean-if they mean anything at
all Still there is compensation i'm store
for the public Ibsen has decided. in lieu
of Interpreting himself to publish a dra-
matte play every two years We can.
therefore, count on the fun of wrestling
with more interpretations Of Ibsen. by
his disciples. which will not interpret.

An Improved Microscope.

The microscope, as constructed here
tofore, only allowed the inspection of
even surfaces, and it's focus was SO lin
tied that objects of any thickness had
to be first prepared between glass
plates or upon fat surface to become
visible at all. This quality makes it
most difficult matter to observe OBJ
jec+s through a microscope of great
charging power. In order to obyiate
this difficulty and to enable the en-
larging of small bodies as we'll as of
flat surfaces, an American living in.
Paris, Mr.. Greenough, constructed a mi
croscope with greater depth of focus,
which has since been further improved
by the optician, Czapski, OF Jean, Ger
many. Its lenses are so arranged that
they will permit the inspection of I'M
even surfaces, and in order to make
the vision more perfect, two systems
of lenses are provided, giving the i'm,
age strongly stereoscopic effect. %&

A Fish That Shoots.

There is curious fish called the
seabream, which is very seldom caughtS
in this part of the world, as it is al
native of warmer seas than ours. It isl
thin and fiat, with brightly coloredS
body and mouth which in many specl-s
ments projects so much as to look
like small snout. This snout is used
In wonderful way; the fish actually
shoots insects with it. Having dis
covered with its sharp eyes fly rest-s
ing on some leaf or tWig not far above
the water, the Dream sWims cautiously
to a spot directly beneath, and then
suddenly raising its snout above the
surface, darts from it single drop of
water straight at its prey. It seldom ifi
ever misses it's aim Down drops the
unsuspecting fly into the water, where
it is bounced upon and swallowed. in
China this strange fish is often kept
as we keep gold fish for the amusement
of seeing it shoot. A fly is fixed at
some height above the vase Or globe;

The Giant Telescope of Paris.

The giant telescope that is to be
used at the great exposition in Paris
in 1900, is we'll under way. The aper-
ture will be 1872 inches and the focal
length 1876 feet and 10 inches. and the
estimated cost 100000 francs (s2SO,-

in domed building, but one of hori-
zontal position on solid supports OF
masonry, and will receive the light OF
the heavenly bodies by reflection from
a movable plane mirror two meters in
diameter (78 inches). This plane mir
ror is ID inches thick and weighs 8, 500
kilogrammes G,920 pounds). It has
been in process Of grinding for seven
months and is not yet finished. It is
expected that magnifying power OF

casionally $4,000 may be used. Tue

coed 1000, and there is great expecta-
lions from the working power Of this

for it. Chickens and ducks, after hay-
