PHOTOGRAPHS IN CO[0RS.
New Method of Photographing in Natural Colors Without the
 Use of Pigments.
COLORS REPRODUCED BY DIFFRACTlON,
Prof. R. ". Wood. of the University of Wisconsin, Who Originated the EIec- tricaI Thaw, Has the Honor of Intro dueIng the New Method-There Is No Such Thing as Negative.

Madison, Wis, March Prof. K. w. Wood of the University of Wisconsin, the originator of the electrical thaw, has a new method of photographing in natural color.
 Prof. Wood reproduces the colors by dlffraction, method not hitherto tried, and though at present the pro- duetion of the first finished picture, is somewhat tedious, duplicates can be printed as easily as ordinary photo graphs are made.
 Pictures are on Glass.
 The pictures are on glass, and are not only colorless, but almost invisible when viewed in ordinary lights, but when placed in a viewing apparatus, consisting of a convex lens on light frame, show the colors of nature with great brilliancy. Prof. Wood said: 'The finished picture is simply diff fraction grating of variable spacing. In other words, it is a transparent film of gelatine with very fine parallel and equidistant lines on it, about 2,000 to the inch on the average.
 No Pigments Neeessary
 The colors depend solely on the spac ing between the lines, and are pure spectrum colors, or mixtures of such, the necessity of colored screens or pig ments, used in all other processes eX- cept that of Lippman, having been overcome. The pictures can be pro- jected on q screen by employing suit able lantern, or can be viewed indi- vidually with very simple piece of apparatus consisting of lens and per forated screen mounted on a frame.
 A peeuiarity of the process is that there is no such thing as a negative in it. Half dozen pictures have been printed in succession one from anoth- CT, and all are positive and indistin- guishable from each other.

Preparing for an offensive Move.

Washington, March 7.-There is seme reason to expect important news from Manila within the next fortnight. It has developed that Gen. etis has practically completed his plans for a grand onslaught on the insurgents, which is expected to deprive them of offensive power at least.

Cuba and the prospect of the complete
suppression of the Philippine insurrection
at an early date, it will not be necessary,
after the present volunteer forces have
been mustered out, to have more than the
65, 900 men allowed for the regular army
until July /, 1901.
1t is also his purpose to expedite the
withdrawal of volunteers from Cuba and
the Philippines as rapidly as possible and
muster them out of the service. All the
volunteers are to be brought home from
Cuba without delay and those in the Phil>
ippines will be brought home as soon as
such regulars can be sent out to take
their places. The president will have un-
der the law to appoint general and staff
officers in sufficient number for the Sc. 900
regulars. If subsequent developments
show the necessity for more men, the
president will then exercise his power
to enlist all or part of $4,000 men. >a,

ARE OPPOSED TO
AN ALLIANCE

Chicago, March "A monster mass
meeting Of German Americans to protest
against an alliance Of the United States
with England or any other power will be
held in the near future. Delegates from
more than one hundred German 0rganiza-
tions of Chicago, turner, literary, sect.
beneficial and religious societies, with a
combined membership of $4,000, met in
Jungs hall and after speeches a commit
tee was appointed to arrange for the mass
meeting. The speakers urged that Ger
many had been grossly misrepresented
when it was said that she was hostile to
this country. Englands jealousy of Ger
many in obtaining firm hold on the
hearts of American people, was advanced
as an argument. An interesting feature
of the meeting was the presence of John
F. Finnerty, Judges Gibbons and Dunno,
and other prominent Irish Americans,
who came as fellow workers in the cause
of discouraging foreign entanglements,
especially British. Judges Dunno and
Gibbons and Mr.. Finnerty were called on
to address the meeting. Their remarks

ABNER M'KINLN
VISITING IN CUBA

New York, March IA dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says: Inspector
General Roloff estimates the total num-
Der in the Cuban army at $4,000, of which
q, 1000 are officers or officials holding COM
missions and entitled to officers pay. The
Cubans themselves express astonishment
at the proportion, although admitting
that they would not be surprised if it was
one to three. Gen. Brooke will appoint
a commission to deal with the question
raised by the planters and farmers asso-
citation who submitted plan TO him on
Saturday. They propose to restrain the
immediate collection of mortgage debts,
Weyler and extend the collection over a
period OF five years with certain liked
regulations.
While Abner Mckinley denies that his
visit to Cuba is more than a mere pleas
ure trip there appears to be little doubt
that he has a twofold mission, political
and business. Officials here say he has
private instructions from the president
to investigate the situation, sound the
sentiments of business men and thor
oughly gauge the Cuban feeling toward
the American administration. He will
look after the interests of an express
company with which he is connected
while here and railroad enterprise will
have his attention. He and his party
were conducted by Gen. Humphreys to
Marel in a government tug. Later he
called on Gen. Ludlow and had long
conference.
