Did You Take
Scott’s
Emulsion
through the winter? If so, we
are sure it quieted your cough,
healed the rawness in your
throat, increased your weight,
gave you more color, and made
you feel better in every way.
But perhaps your cough has
come back again, or you are get
ting a little thin and pale.
Then, why not continue the
same helpful remedy right
through the summer? It will do
you as much good as when the
weather is cold.
Its persistent use will certainly
give you a better appetite and a
stronger digestion. .
It will cure your
weak throat and heal • .fP
your inflamed lungs. I ffi'l
It will cure every case ( [JI
of consumption, when , I jl
a cure is possible. AUg*
Don’t be persuaded
to take something they say is just
as good.

The facts about the condition of
the insurgent armies seem rather dif
ficult to get, and there are many in
this country who arc disposed to be
little the cause of Gomez and point to
this lack of definite information in a
kind of 1-told-you-so manner,
government is preparing to make a
conquest of Cuba as though no in
surgent army existed, and this is
proper, but it is more thin probable
that when our forces land and begin
tbeir operations, the forces of Gomez
and of Garcia will be found much
stronger than we believe.
There are those who decry the
personel of the insurgents’ army and
of its officers, and yet there is abso
lutely nothing in the history of the
present rebellion to prove that it is
not far superior to that of the Span
ish army. The treatment of captives
by insurgents lias been humane with
few exceptions, while the treat.me.it
given their captives and the recon
oentrados by the Spaniards has been
the most inhuman siuce the days of
the Inquisition.
Notning shows the superiority of
General Gomez over his opponents
more plainly than the recent procla
mation issued by him to the Cuban
army. It is lofty in sentiment and
would be creditable to a leader of
the most enlightened nations of earth.
Gomez said:
‘T take this occasion to remind
each Cuban in service that he now
has a country recognized for which he
must fight with all honor and glory
He is now a Cuban soldier ana not
an insurgent, and will respect the
rules of civilized warfare. I will
order punished any chief, officer or

“J desire to impr ss upon you that
wew II not continue this war, which
has hee l so gallantly kept up for the
last three years’ with the idea of
revenge. We are fighting for liberty
and independence and not f>.r re
vengo, ami f would call your atten
tion to the fact that the history of
the world shows that loss of blood
has always been the price of lihertj.
“We have had to contend ngains
a cruel enemy one who has known
no honor, and whose methods of war
fare have besu most barbarous.
“I do not demise that our army
emulate their example, but I would
prefer that our methods of war be
those of civilized nations, that we
may show to the enemy that those
whom tney arc fighting are more
honorable than themselves.”

Tlie Climate of Cuba.
Here are a few facts from the En
cyclopedia Brittanmca that are of
considerable interest and, valuo just
at this time, in view of the discus
sion concerning the climate of Cuba,
:ml its probable effect upon our
troops in case of an invasion;
Situated within and near the bor
der of tpe northern tropical zone, the
climate of the low coas lands of Cuba
is that of the torrid zone, hut the
interior of the island enjoys e more
temperate atmosphere. As in others
on the land on the border ot the trop
ics, the year is divided between the
iiotter and wetter season, correspond
ing to the northern decimal on cf the
sun, and a cooler and dryer period -
The months from the beginning of
May to October are called the w“t
season, though rain falls every month
in the year. With May spring
begins in the island, ram and thun
der are of almost daily occnrreuce,
and the temperature rises high with
dailv vaualion. The period from
November to April are called the
dry season by contrast, On a mean
ot seven years the rainfall at Havan
na m the wet season has been ob-
served to be 27 8 inches, of the clry
mouths 12 7 or 40 5 for the year.
At llavanna in the warmest
months those of Inly and August,
the average temperature is 82 degrees
Farenl eit, fluctuating between a
maximum of 9o and a minimum of
76 degrees; in the colder months of
December ami January the thermom
eter averages 72 degrees, the maxi
mum being 79, the minimum 58
the mean of seven years is 77 degrees-
Bui. the interior, at elevation of over
40 feet above sea, the thermometer,
occasionally falls to the freezing
point in winter, heavy frost is not
uncommon, and during north winds
thin ice may form, though snow is
unknown in any part of the is and.
The prevailing wind is the easterly
trade breeze, but from Novembei to
February cool north winds (los nor
tes, “northers”) rarely lasting more
than forty-eight hours, a>e exjiari
ence in the western portion of the
island, to which they add a third
seasonal change. From 10 to 12
o’clock are the hottest hours ot the
day. Afternoon refreshing freeze
(la vizaron) sets in from the sea.
Hurricanes may occur Irons August
to October, but are less frequent
than in Jamaica or Havti, and some
times five or six years may pass with
oit such a storm. Slight shocks of
earthquakes are occasionally felt.
There are no diseases specially in
srenous to the island; the yellow
fever, which breaks out with rene 7ed
virulence regularly with the wet sea
soe in the coastlands and seaports of
Cuba, annually causing great loss of
life, is quite unknown in the interior.

The Nation’s Strength.
Under the first and second call of
the president and under the act of
congress increasing the regular army,
we shall soon have 3090, 000 men in
the field - Of these 280. 000 will be
in the army and 20 000 in the navy.
Avery considerable numbsa - of these
nn n have had no military experience
whatever, neither in regular army
nor in the state organizations, Hut
it will not take long to put them into
shape. The great miltitary strength
of ihe nation lies in the adaptability
of its citizenship. Since the embat
tled farmers stood against the British
regulars at Lexington and Concern,
there has never been a time when
the volunteer forces have not, after
a little experience in the field and
camp, proved ns efficient as the sol
diers of France and Germany reared
under a system which compels every
citizen to serve for a certain number
of years in the army - As The Tele
graph has suggested hitherto, it
would have been better it we had
kept up the old custom of muster
days in the militia districts, but even
without that advantage we are tre
mendously formidable for the reason
ibat our soldiers go into the army of
their own free will. Conscription
can he resorted to by the government
only under particular conditions.
The foreigner may inquire as to
w hat our government would do in
case men should refuse to volunteer
as in this war which is not a war for
the maintenance of public order, or
to suppress insurrection or to repel
mvation, according to the content
plation of the rjnstitution. The an
swer is that the government would
be helpless - But such a condition
can never arise for this is a govern
ment of the people, by the people
and for the people, and a call for
"olunteers always finds response - It
is to the glory of our state that ibis
is so. The solidarity of our citizen
ship is not due to a rule of “blood
and iron.” It does not depend upon
the fear of the king. The volunteers
appear because a deelaraticn of war
bv congress is the people’s declaration
and the people are loyal, not to the
president or to congress, hut to them
selves for they have elected the presi
dent and the members of congress
and to them they look for direction
and leadership. They stand as the
trusted agents, and not sovereigns,
of the people.
Thousands upon thousands of
young men have erlisted for the
present war, because their fathers
and grandfatheis and great grand
lathers were soldiere. They would
preserve the family piesiige. Other
thousands have gone in to make a
family record, and all have learned
that great honor comes to him who
serves the state, whether he wear a
sword or bear musket.
A nation with such a citizenship is
invincible. There is no such thing
among us as “the canker of a long
peace.” No matter how monotonous
and prosaic nmy he the bread winning
vocaliou of the average American
citizen, his martial spirit is not dull
ed nor his patriotic impulses stifled.
His ears never grow deaf to the bui
file call, his eyes never blind to tire
flashings of old glory.—Telegraph.
