Would Use Cavalry.

There will be a daShing campaign il 1t
becomes necessary to use force against
the insurrectos, in which the American
cavalry regiments will be relied upon al
most exclusively. Half a dozen regiments
OF that arm, supplemented perhaps by a
strongly reinforced rural guard, well ac-
quainted with the trails and kept con-
stantly In motion would clean any enemy
out OF the bush within month, accord
ing to military calculations. These plans
have been gone over by Gen. Wood and
other members of his staff.
Perhaps it was because OF a desire to
avoid any appearance of Intervention in

turned to the navy first. The officials
have lost no opportunity OF earnestly dis
claiming any intention Of a military oc-
cupation of Cuba unless the insurrection
should get completely beyond the control
of the Gomez government, and condi-
ton should arise demanding interview

their right to do so under the terms of

WORMS THAT EAT IRON

A feasible explanation of the dis.
ease which attacks old metal coins is
suggested by the recent discovery OF
some Italian engineers of microbe
which feeds on iron. The discovery
was made through the frequency with
which railway accidents occurred in
one particular portion of the railroad
in a certain district.
An examination of the rails was
made and the presence of severe cor
rosion was revealed A rail was TAX
en- up and broken It was then found
to be hollow, and further examination
showed the presence of thin, gray,
thread-like worm about a third of an
inch in length A careful examina-
ton was made of the habit and APP
pearance of this worm.
Upon its head it carried two little
glands filled with a corrosive secre-
ton, which it elected every few min
utes on to he iron. The election had
the property of rendering the iron soft
and spongy, when the worm at once
proceeded to devour it.-Chicago
