SPANISH CAPTAIN DEPOSED.
Loses His Ship for an Injudicious
Speech at BANQUET


dispatch to the New York Herald from
Baycnne. Wednesday. says: Much displeas-
ure has been caused, especially in Spanish
naval circles by the removal of Captain
Diaz Moreu, comma nding the Pelayo in
consequence Of representations of the
American and German representatives
made against his toast at Toulon. The
minister of marine has privately assured
Captain Moreau that he will get another
command in a few months.
AT the banquet in Toulon harbor offered
by the Duke OF Genoa On board the Lepan-
to Captain Moreu replied as follows ac-
cording to the Paris Temps and Figaro
to the toast of the Duke of Genoa to the
Spanish navy:
Il am very happy to drink to the Italian
navy and It's fine ships"
Then, abiding to the loss Of his vessel
the Cristobal Colon, which he scuttled in
order to prevent It's falling into American
hands at the battle of Santiago, he added,
with an emotion which spread throughout
the entire companyt
"MOnseigneur, know it well, your navy
DID there not come from your shipyards that
vessel which. on a certain day that shall
remember all my life, was obliged to sink
In order that it should not fall into the
hands of the enemy? 1 feel very happy in
being able to bear witness to the superb
qualities Of a vessel commanded by such
an able sailor as yourself, whose name
recalls the most glorious victory Of the
Italian nation"
1t was charged soon after the battle Of
Santiago that Captain Moreu, after sur
rendering his vessel. opened the sea valves
In order to prevent its falling into Amer

Is said to be contrary to the laws of war.

PAIN OF ABSENT LIMBS
Those Who Complain of 1t Not suffer-
ing From a DeIusi0n,

rom the Ne" ork Herald
The poor man with amputated legs who
committed suicide because his absent toes
panied him was not, as might be supposed
suffering from mere delusion.
The sensation Of which similar class Of
sufferers so often complain is mainly due to
some injured or diseased condition of the
end Of the divided nerve which whole
formerly supplied the toes or fingers of the
severed limb Sometimes the main trunk
of the nerve has It's end unprotected from
direct injury by want OF sufficiently thick
cushion of flesh at the end OF the stump
but more frequently it's sensitive filaments
are pirlched in a contracting scar.
When it IL known that the impressions Of
pain or touch are conveyed to the brain
from the extremities of the nerve 1t is easy
to understan that the law Of such trans
terrence il maintained even when the main
trunk of the nerve only remains.
In other words. when there Is only a
common signal for every end station along
given telegraphic line there are no means
Of distinguishing messages from far or
near points. With the brain the terminal
point is the one always credited. Thus
with central IN New York, De:rui. might
be mistaken for Chicago, Philadelphia tor
Washington or Omaha for San Francisco.
Not only Is actual pain experienced in
limbs that are gone, but the main nerve
when irritated In any part " It's course
continues by force of haDi: to pervcrt
and misdiroct all the various ana complex
phenomena of touch, position, muscular
tension, cramp and the like.
Patients at times complain that the lost
fingers feel as If awkwardly bent, the toes
as if cramped. the feet cold the heel
itchy. Hence It is often imagined by ig-
norant people that amputated limbs do not
rest easily in their graves, ard 1t is not
uncommon for the unfortunate subjects of
operation to insist that the severed lnem-
bers be placed in comfortable positions
when laid away.

FROM the New York Sun, today.
A woman on her way home from the
theater last night happened to look out OF
her carriage window just in time to see
ten-year-old boy sound asleep in S6th
street doorway off Broadway. The boys
head was on the step and his body was
coiled up on the sidewalk. 1t was raining
in torrents.
The woman got out Of her carriage long
enough to throw lap robe over the boy
and then told her driver to get police
man.
In the meantime a score of other theater
folks stopped and stood around the sleep
ing boy, making a canopy for him with
their umbrellas.
One man lifted the lap robe far enough
to push a quarter into the urchins pocket,
and everybody in the crowd followed suit.
When Policeman Donovan showed up he
took the boy in his arms and carried him
to the station. The child's clothing was
soaked through, his teeth chartered and he
was so hoarse that he had to explain in a
whisper that he was Patrick Cummings. a
