Cuban Situation.
Refused The Crown of Spain.
The remarkable
If Gen. Goinez represents the. jjlise Hensler f the Boston girl
sentiments of the Cuban people j w jj 0 married King Ferdinand of
much of what is appearing in the ! p 0 rtngal, is recalled by Mabe
Havana dispatches to the effect \ p erC y Haskell, in the March La-
that there is a feeling of unrest
throughout the island because of
the continued American occupa
tion is without substantial foun
dation. In onr dispatches a con
versation between Gen. Wood and
Gen. Gomez was reported. Gen.
Gomez was reported as saying
that there was ho dissatisfaction
because of the continued occupa
tion of the island by the Ameri
cans, that it was their duty to re
main until a stable government
had been established, and that if
they were to withdraw now there
| would be war in the island inside
of ninety days. He further said
that if the Americans went before
a stable government was estab
lished he would also go.
Of course every sensible man
knows that the position he takes
is the. right one. It is probable
that all Cubans who really wish
their country well, and who are
sufficiently well informed to make
their opinions of value,agree with
Gen. Gomez. It will be six
months, probably longer, before
it will be wise to withdraw all of
our troops. Net only must a sta
ble government be established,
but it ought to be given a fair
trial before American occupation
wholly ceases. The most danger
ous time for the new government
will be the first few months of its
existence. There will be many
who will be disappointed in not
getting places, and it is probable
that there will not be the prompt
ness and liberality hoped for by
many in the settlement of the
claims arising out of the war with
Spain. With dissatisfaction will
come threats of disorder. The
new government, not having an
army, will be but poorly prepared
to cope wtth an attempt to over
throw it.
It would be the greatest kind of
a mistake for the United States
to abandon the Cubans to their
own resources at this time. The
worst enemy of Cuba could not
wish her any greater misfortune.
In many prohibition communi
ties where liquor cannot be had
the old topers resort to the use of
Jamaica ginger. Alcohol enters
largely into the make-up of the
ginger. If the alcohol is pure
there is little harm done. But
some manufacturers of Jamaica
ginger have been making wood
alcohol the body of the prepara
tion. Wood alcohol is- a poisorf
when taken into . the human sys
tem. Several cases of blindness
from drinking the wood alcohol
preparation have lately been re
ported from prohibition towns in
Maryland and West Virginia.
dies’ Home Journal- At her mar
riage Miss Hensler was created the
Countess of Edla, and with her
royal husband took up her home
in the beautiful Palace of Cintra.
“Had she wished it the Countess
of Edla might have been Queen of
Spain, for King Ferdinand declin
ed the crown of Spain in 1869,
soon after his marriage to the
beautiful American girl. It was
offered to him by General Prim
and General Serrano, and both
the King and his lovely wife de
cided that their quiet life, so free
from cares of stare, was infinitely
to be preferred to the worry and
fret of a great European Court.
Ferninand died in 1885, and since
then the Countess has lived in re
tirement in the Palace of Cintra.
She is visited by members of the
present royal family and is great
ly beloved by them, for they nev
er can forget how fine and good
was her gentle influence over the
King, and they shared his admi
ration for her. She is treated as
if she had been born to the purple
instead of far across the sea.”
An immense deposit of an un
known gaseous substance is said
to have been discovered near Rio
Grande City, Texas. It ignites
quickly and gives out a strong
flame, which lasts for a remarka
bly long time. Scientists are
quoted as saying that the sub
stance is either an unknown min
eral or ordinary clay highly charg
ed with natural gas. In either
case the value of the deposit as
fuel is immense, as it covers many
thousands of acres and is of great
depth.
A story from Lexington, Ky.,
alleges that Chad W. ‘ Hall, who
was killed in a pistol fight in the
northern part of Clay county re
cently, was the man who fired the
shot that killed Gov. Goebel. The
fact, it is said, came out at the
commitment trial of the man who
killed Hall. jas. Howard, mean
while, is in jail under sentence of
death upon the charge of having
shot Goebel.—Savannah News.
The Stomach controls the sit
uation. Those who are hearty and
strong are those who can eat and
digest plenty of food. Kodol Dys
pepsia Cure digests what you eat
and allows you to eat all the good
food you want. If you suffer from
indigestion, heart burn, belching
or any other stomach trouble, this
preparation can’t help but do you
good. The most sensitive stom
ach can take It. H. M. Holtz-

The Louisville Courier-Journal
(Dem.) says. “Secretary Gage,
speaking of Russia’s retaliatory
tariff raise on our manufactures,
says he doubts if the Russians can
do without some of the articles,
and in that case they will, of
course, have to pay higher prices
for them. ’ 5 Secretary Gage seems
to have forgotton the Republican
theory that the exporter, not the
importer, pays the tariff tax.

The Paris treaty, signed by the
United States and Spain, recog
nizes the independence of Cuha,
and we have no more right to de
prive her of that independence
than we have to march to Mexico
and assert sovereignty there. To
assume that we must govern Cuba
in order to protect her is to en
tirely abandon the Monroe doc
trine under which we have pro
tected republics without interfer
ing in their government.—The
Commoner.
A cup of hot coffee is an “unfail
ing barometer, if you allow a
lump of sugar to drop to the bot
tom of the cup and watch the air
bpbbles rise without disturbing
the coffee. If the bubbles collect
in the middle the weather will be
fine; if they adhere to the cup,
forming a ring, it will either rain
or snow; and if the bubbles sepa
rate without assuming any fixed
position, changeable weather may
be expected.

Peculiarities of Crime.
One cC the strangest peculiarities of
human nature is its inclinatipn to
Imitate the misdeeds of others. Crime
is epidemical. A particularly dreadful
murder, the details of which are set
forth in all the newspapers, often has
the effect of inducing similar crimes.
One of the reasons, and probably the
chief reason, why public executions
were abolished in England, was that
Instead of acting as a deterrent the
execution had the contrary effect of
inciting to murder.
In 1885 a woman of Geneva, named
Lombardi, killed her four children.
She admitted that she had beep read
ing of a woman who killed her hus
band, and the very circumstantial ac
count had made her wish to imitate the
crime, but as her husband was dead
she killed the children. This is only
one instance out of hundreds which
have come to our notice.
The infectious nature of self murder
receives a striking testimony in the
following Incident: Dr. Oppenheim of
Hamburg had to examine the body of a
man who had cut his throat and had
died after some days of suffering. The
medico told his assistant that death
would have been immediate if the man
had made the cut in a way which he
illustrated, and he was startled two
days later to learn that his assistant
had attempted to commit suicide by
lacerating himself in that very manner.
The man admitted that he had never
thought of suicide until* the day of the
examination and the doctor's remark.—
London Globe.
An Embarrassing Langb.
During a funny turn on the stage at
the Walnut Street theater, Cincinnati,
one night a man in the balcony leaned
over the railing convulsed with laugh
ter. During an extraordinary burst of
hilarity his false teeth flew from his
mouth and fell in the lap of a lady
who was sitting in the parquet. Those
near looked up and saw the toothless
man waving frantically to the lady to
pick up his teeth. This caused a gen
eral laugh at his expense. The teeth
were returned by an usher.—Exchange.
Where the Guilt Lay.
‘You say the play was entirely with
out a villain ?”
“Yes—that is, if you choose to omit
the author.”—Indianapolis Press.
Curiously, the men who are easiest to
get along with are the very men who
have no faculty for getting along.—De
