The court martial should be made to ex tend to contractors who supply the army. There h»* been a grievous fault somewhere that needs a remedy. We are hurrying our soldiers out of Cub* as fast as possible, and it will be a good place for civilian* to stay away from for tbe next two months. Owing to the unsettled condition* which will prevail for some time to come, there is little probability that anything of im portance in a business way can be ac complished there before October. No time will be lost, therefore, by making haste slowly and waiting until it is safe to spy out tbe land.—Baltimore Sun. Chief Justice Brewer of tbe United State eupreme court opposes the an nexation not only of tbe Philippines, but also of Cuba and Porto Rico, be cause he says these colonies can be managed only by force, a course which he holds is thoroughly inconsistent with the Monroe doctrine, say. the Savannah News. Tbe annexation of tbe Philippines and that of Porto Rico ar* two entirely different questions; tbe one involves territorial expansion in a direction which tbe Monroe doc trine particularly sought to avoid, and tbe other the annexation of an island wbiob by position ought to be Ameri can. There are no indications that tbe government of Porto Rico will re quire any material additions to the army. A Transvaal doctor is credited with the discovery of a new curative treat ment, says tbe St. Louis Globe-Demo crat. He assert* that he can cure person, of smallpox, fevers, diptberia and many other maladies by simply wrapping them in milk sheets. Tbe patient is laid on a mattress covered with blankets, and is packed in a sheet just large enough to envelop tbe body. Tbe sheet ba* been saturated in a pint and a half of sweet milk, and is ap plied to the body without wringing. After lying still for an hour thus swathed, tbe patient is sponged with Warm water, or put into a warm bath for a few moments to remove the milk. Tbe treatment is based on tbe germ absorbing power of milk, and tbe idea of it is said to have been suggested by tbe fact that milk absorbs poisonous germs from a bucket in r whicb it has been standing.

According to this taw, if * king dies, leaving several dangb tere, but no son, tbe throne passes away from tbe daughters and goes to the nearest male relative, be ho nephew, uncle or oonsiß. In 1899 Ferdinand HI of Spain, having no oom, rendered tbe Salic law of no effsot in Spain by a decree granting the right of succession to tbe dnugbttr* and gronddaughtfte of tbe king. When Ferdinand died, in 1888, bls daughter, Isa ball* .Maria 11, was declared queen, and the brother of Ferdinand, who under the old law should have been king, was passed over. This brother was named Don Carlos. Don Carlos refused to recognize bls broth er's decree and declared himself king at Spain. Many of the nobles, who did not Hkotbe Idas of being ruled by a woman, Hooked to bls standard, and war was de clared against th* party of the queen by the people of Don Carlos’ party, or Car list*, as they were called. For six years a cruel civil war raged; then Don Carlos was forced to give In. This first war was from 1888 *0 1888.
