As indeavoring to present the pre-

SENSATION EXPECTED.
Unusual Activity Regarding the
Goebel Assassin.

aud tonight among the detectives
aud attorneys who are working on
the Goebel assassination case.
lCoionel T. c. Campbell, the New
York criminal lawyer, is here di-
rectlng the investigation. aud if is
strongly intimated tosight that
something of a sensational nature
may develop on the examining trial
of Herland Whitaker tomorrow.
In an interview, Mr.. Campbell
said "GoebelS murder is no mvS-
terry. He was shot with a rife IN
the hands of a partisan of Govern
or Taylor, from e window in the
Office Of the secretary of state,
which connects with the governors
ofice We know the one man; be
may think he is alone at times, bat
be Is not. The law S relentless hand
will heavily descend upon him at
the proper time. He is CT little con-
sequence. 1t Is the more than bak-
er's dozen behind him that tire
nets are spreading for. When that
time comes perhaps Davis, the
Capital square proIicemaD may,
be Interested fer himself rather
than Whitaker.
"Yes, ! have read the statement
about Jack Chinn. They are too
preposterous to be dignIfed by .
denial.
"Tha alleged story Of Widow
SaTel has about as much substance
as the ridiculously false statement
that Goebel wore a coast of mail.
Eyes, there was coroner's
inquest. anditdoes determine more
forclbIy than alleged eye Witness
es can do, the direction from
which the bullet came, ard its
course through the body.
From Secretary Powers window
to he spot where Goebal was hit
is 103 feet. Tie window is about
twelve feet higher than where
Goebel stood. The descent of tie
ball from the point where fred to
the point where it struck Goebel
Is about l7-16 inches to the foot.
From the point where Goebel was
struck in the right breast to the
point Of exit in the back is about
sixteen inches. The point Of exit
is about l 81 inches lower than
the point of entrance, showing that
the ball pursued tho even tenor OF
its way from the mouth OF the
rife to the point Of exit in Goebel'S
back, entering II tree some distance
beyond. \ line drawn from the
secretary OF states Office. in an
oblique direction from the window
to the tres, crosses the spot where
GOebel fell, thus proving by
testimony far stronger than human
words the exact spot from whence
the bullet came.
"Do | suspect Governor Taylor
or Secretary Powers of completely
in the murderf l sincerely trust
for the sake of humanity that both
gentlemen will be fully able to i
exonerate themselves. If | suspect
cd either of them you surely would |
not expect me to say so at this
time.

Our War With Spain.

During the war with the United
States, Spain had in Havana about
10O,O trained soldiers, commanded
by the best officers in the Spanish
army, and all wildly impatient to put
an end to their long idleness and strike
a blow in aid of their country. With
such force, behind such defences, it
was little wonder that some of General
Blanco's officers actually wept when
told of the peaceful surrender OF Cuba
to the Americans. Five hundred and
twenty Spanish soldiers held General
Lawton and his army at bay at Caney
for ten hours, and only yielded when
over two hundred and fifty OF them
had been killed or wounded and eighty
had retreated. Less than one thou
sand Spanish soldiers on the hill at
San Juan brought heavy loss, confu-
sion and dismay to General Skaters
army. American officers familiar with
the surroundings OF Havana now be-
1ieve that the defences of that city
could not have been successfully
stormed by an American army of less
than 100000, assisted by the navy,
and that even then the loss to the
American side would have been at
least 20, 900 men. .-Harper's Weekly

Only Heart Wounds Fatal.

A we'll known surgeon, discussing
the character of the wounds received
on the battlefelds of South Africa
has pointed out that experience OF the
present campaign would seem to show
that the only absolutely fatal region
is the heart. Bullet wounds OF the
brain are now not necessarily fatal,
Judging from the records of the last
few weeks, and this is presumably
due to the small size of the prolectiie,
the velocity with which it travels, ana
the modern practice of scientific sur
gerry, by which dangerous symptoms
likely to arise from injuries may De
warded off. 1t has therefore been
suggested that the heart, being the
only really vital part in the body,
steel covering should be provided, to
be worn so az to protect that part
from bullets. A steel plate might be
attached to the soldiers tunics, and
doubtless the small shield could be
80 fixed as neither to impede move
ment nor cause inconvenience.-Lon

Drinking In Havana.

I do not know how 1t happens, but a
great many American writer's, some high
10 authority, have said they have not oh.
served drunkenness here, writes the
Havana correspondent OF the Chicago Rec
ord. 1t Is difficult for me to understand
this, In the face OF IN almost daily obserya-
tlon OF lntoxlcation. Havana Is q place OF
cafes. It is astonishing how large pro-
portion OF the people OF this city cat at
restaurants. As In Paris. many OF these
cafes are open-almost on the sidewalk.
Mono OF them are behind closed doors.
windows or screens. 1t seems that Havana
must have more OF them In proportion to
its population than has the capital OF
France. Most OF them have their bar at
tachment. The bars OF Havana ure the
"bottle-houses" OF old countrles-not the
mirrored bnrs OF the State. All the "green
goods" In the place are exposed to view on
shelves behind the counter. Except In
American bars there Is no drinking from
bottles beneath the counter, and very lit
tie mixing Of drinks. Wines are the COM
mon drink OF the. country, as IN Italy,
France and some parts OF Germany. Most
OF the wines are puro Spanish bottled
goods, though some are bottled here.
The patrons OF these cafes drink their
wines aud coffee freely and indiscrimin-
ately. They usually eat when they drink,
tarrying at the table In conversation
good while at time, and consequently
street drunkenness Is not observed In any
FUR proportion to the amount OF drinking
done. This, perhaps, gives some color to
the statement regarding the absence OF
dru kenness. But many do get drunk
IL anne, often drunk and down."
20, drunk and put In a cab to be
taken homo to sleep 1t of. Whisky Is not
rs commonly used as In the States and
other colder countries, and the Immediate
stimulating effects OF lighter drinks are
not to be compared with those experienced
by whisky drinkers. The whisky drlnker
being more noisy and eluberant, his con.
duet Is likely to attract more attention.
But In no wine-lrinking country that I
have ever visited have I seen rs much cafe
drunkenness, rs much blear-eyedness, and
as much street reelIng as right here In non.
whisky using Havana. There are Ameri-
ems now on this island, who are bad
enough In drink habits, and who attract
great deal Of unfavorable attention when
drinking. But doubt II any other coun-
try under tho sun, so nearly poverty
stricken as this Is, can show a worse record
for drinking, debauchery, impoverishment
md crime from liquors OF ono sort'and an-
other. 1he drinkers make up In the guam
tity they consume what difference there Is
In quality between whisky and wine. =
