CRITICISM OF PALMA'S SALARY.
La Lucha Says It is More Than Under
Old Regime.

dispatch from Havana yesterday says:
La Lucha says President Palma is drawing
larger salary than the former Spanish
captains general or General Wood.
1t states that according to the budget
President Palma received $4,000 allowance
for salary, $25 900 for secret urgent eX
penses, $500 for servants and 5000 for
sundry expenses relating to furniture and
his stable.
The Spanish captains general, says the
paper, received a total of 81 900, and Cen
eral Wood $1,000.
The nationalist party has issued a mani
festo denying responsibility for lawlessness
during the strike of the cigarmakers, and
defending former Secretary Tamayo and
the mayor of Havana. The manifesto states
that President Palma approved the atti-
tude Of Senior Tamayo and the mayor until
the morning OF the trouble, when jealousy
of a cabinet officer influenced President
Palma against them. Senior Tamayo in
tended to demand an investigation, but this
was prevented, the manifesto asserts, by
trickery on the part of the other members
of the cabinet in Immediately accepting his
verbal resignation. The nationalists in the
manifesto repudiate any anti-American
spirit imputed to their leaders.

Discovery of Coffee.
MADE BY AN ARABIAN SHEPHERD.

Coffee was first discovered In the sixth century
by an Arabian shepherd who, having observed the
goats OF his flock skip about and display other
signs OF intoxeation after eating the coffee berry,
concluded to try its effects himself and thus
discovered Its exhilarating property.
This discovery proved the poor sIepherds I'M
doing, for he Unfortunately large quantities

In the sixteenth century 1t was introduced into
france, and was used so strong and excessively,
particularly by the Parisians that 1t was found to
in1ure alike the complexion and digestion This
discovery prevented its general introduction into
other European countries for the next century
Since that period its growth has gradually spread
through the civilized world despite the fact that
pain and destruction follow Its path, dyspepsia
having been hardly known before It's introduction.
