Philadelphia medical profession. The
case is that of Julia Jones, aged 49,
She was strong. healthy girl UP to

parent cause. her mind seemed to have
become affected In some inexplicable
way.
The first and most alarming result
was that the young woman lapsed into
a sleeping condition rom which during
the last four weeks 1t has been impos-
sible to arouse her. She has not been
unconscious during this time. but she
does not answer questions addressed
to her. To all appearances she had
been alive to her surroundings and yet
totally Indifferent to them. So far the
case has been a puzzle to medical men.

formation that has been wrought by
American rule in Cuba.

justiiicauon oc our Intervention in the

ply ample proof Of our good intentions
in the Philippines. Our military admins
tration Of Cuba is national guarantee
Of our a'siiity to work an industrial trans
formation in the Pacific archipelago as
soon as the insurrection Of the Fiiipinos
is suppressed.
In Cuba incendiarism, rapine and STAR
walton have given place TO industry and
plenty. Brigandage and Official corrup-
ton have given place to good order and
honesty in the collection Of customs du-
ties and the disbursement or revenues.
School houses are being opened roads are
being built and Cuban insurgents are re-
turning TO the tilling of the soil.
This is the testimony Of Major General
Leonard Wood military governor Of the
province OF Santiago, in an interview
given in New York. The island has been
brought to a state Of tranquility and or
der. which is marvellous in the light Oh
the strife and rebellion that have devas'

selves and schools for their children

furnished as rapidly as possible by Tx
government. In Santiago province 3f
schools have been opened by this gov
ernment since the war closed. The Pee
pie are conten,ed under American rule
although they cherish rhe hope that tn,
may some day be able to govern then
