It is to obtain independence that we have been fighting for two years and will continue to fight until victory is ours we will fight for abso lute freedom, as we stated in the manifesto , issued at Monte Cristo, as was also later set aown in our constitution, and we are daily, confirming it by the shedding of blood in the battlefield."

Heath on All Sides. New York, Nov. 8 A World special from Havana says: Weyler has gone, but his purpose to "exterminate the breed" of tne Cuban patriots is being fulfilled. Starvation is killing the concentrados by tens of thousands. Hunger is doing what Spain's 200,000 soldiers cannot accom plish. The frightful sufferings' of those who survive cry out to the mercy of the civilized world. The physicians of Havana are now. forbidd 3D to give starvation as a cause of. death. - A correspondent In the town offSan Domingo writes: "A multitude of siatt fall and die in the streets hersand Ho until, after having secd as ignominious specta cles for tome hours, they are collected aad hauled away in carts used for garb age to the slumping grounds. Most of these bodies a.e thrown into the fields to be eaten by fehe birds and dogs." Both the newspapers which support ed Weyler and tbosd who opposed him are now forced to tell Jjalf the truth about the starving Concentrados. Here are some whole truth made uu-1 deniable: - . Since Weyler's proclamation J riv ing the country people into the town was issued, half the rural population of Western Cuba has died. Half of those who survive are so weak, so emaciated, that the flickering 9park of life in them will surely soon be extinguished. They cannot survive, although Blanco, the governor-general, has ordered that service rations be issued to them, ra tions such as his soldiers get. The lives of the other half of the surulvors Blanoo will save. Photographs of starving children speak louder than any words. These photographs are taken at Guanabacoa within an hour's travel of the palace here. Remember that with natural af fection intensified by suffering the par ents of thes e children have given to them every morsel they could scrape together. The mothers of these chil dren deny themselves food, refuse to eat the miserable scraps of meat and bread that they may keep life in their children. The cbildrens' legs were like pipestems. One could count their ribs.' Their joints, made dispropor tionately large by emaciation, seemed immense. Ihese are not isolated cases. There are thousands And thflMSnds like them. J, M.

Then the Nicaraguan canal question will come up again when Ad miral Walker and his colleagues, who have been sent down to examine the proposed route, return and make their report; and the treaty of arbitration with Great Britain is expected to be revived in some shape by its advocates.

LIVER AND X EATS. Roentgen's Discovery Useless Where That Organ Is Involved. Bach Is th Result Reached la the Er perUnents of Depnty Surgeon-General Forwood, -of the United States Army. If a non should have the misforaune to receive a shot in the liver it would remain there unless found by the an cient method of probe and knife. X rays, Roentgen s process, aided by the appliances devised by all theelectrical scientists of the age, are powerless against the texture of the liver. Prac tically every other portion of the human anatomy will yield to the penetrating power of the fiuorescope, but that liver declines to do anything of the kind. At least this is the decision reached by Dr. William H. Forwood, of the United States army. He declares that he has been unable to locate anything in or behind the liver when the rays are sent upon the body from the front. They" will not penetrate that organ. Dr. Forwood is officially known as lieutenant colonel and deputy surgeon general. He is on station at headquar ters in Washington and the duties of his office leave him considerable leisure time. This time he has used for many years in the study of applied sciences 111 tne practice 01 bis profession. He is noted in the medical world as an ex perimentalist, and has produced some results which have overturned precon ceived ideas. As a medical officer of the army, and a ranking one at that, he has the facilities at hand or attaina ble for anything which will assist in nicking experiments. As soon as Prof. Roentgen mode his discovery known. Dr. Forwood began his experiments. He secured all the appliances by requis ition, "for the good of the service," and established a Crookes tube laboratory unexcelled in the country. Then he commenced his experiments. He photographed his orderly f ronl every possible standpoint, causing that use ful, but somewhat sensitive man to 1 a strong desire to get out of the service. He practiced on the hospital corps, and induced many of those who ire attached to the general headquarter In the capital citv to submit -thert selves to the influence of the rayiHe assemoiea an 01 nis pictures, quferjia never touched a liver. Then he eRt-' gunning for livers, but so far haa been able to land one. .-v, Dr. Forwood was a member of the. army retiring board which adjourned Friday. morning hfter fielding sessions for several weeks' at Uen. MerritCf headquarters in the Pullman building. He is an enthusiast in medical matters, and especially X rays. It is said that he wanted to photograph the alleged disability of every officer who appeared before the board to be examined for retirement. If they were all right the rays would show it. But somebody suggested that one of the officers suf fered from chronic biliary derange ment. "Oh, well," said the deputy surgeon- general, "if that's the matter with him we 11 have to try him in the old way. can't get a liver with the rays." That- started the investigation con cerning, the power of .the rays. Several of the officers detailed for duty on the board knew Dr. Forwood s experiments with the rny, and they asked him to ell what he had done and what the reeson is that the rays will not pierce liver. The doctor agreed, but prefaced his remarks by saying that he knew no 'special reason why a liver should resist the rays. He only knew. that it does, . , , : .... 1 . .'! have not given it up," he said, "but it is a singular fact that I cannot get through a liver. 1 have succeeded in drawing everythiiig else, but this baffles me. The increasing of the power, ir voltage, does not help. In some things this does assist. For instance, you can See through a white man much easier than you can through a negro. When a 'darky is being experimented on you have to increase the power of the in strument in marked degree. This is due primarily, I suppose, to the pig nients in the colored man's skin nnd the corresponding density of his covering. Ilut this liver business gets me. "The annoying nature of this failure is shown when you figure the number of fellows who get bullets in their livers in a battle. It is hard to hit a man in the trunk without invoving one or both lobes of the organ. Now, a wound in the liver may or may not be fatal. It is not necessarily fatal. If the surgeon goes after the bullet and finds it has penetrated the liver, as far as I can see, he will have to trust to luck, cut the man wide open, or let the ball alone. It may become encysted in that liver and remain there for years, and then the surgeon, if he survives and rela tives do not interfere may hold a post mortem nnd extract it. "I can find anything I want by cut ting, but what I am looking for now is a means of finding what I want with out using the knife. If you slash a man sufficiently you can generally find what it is that is hurting him, but this new idea when perfected will, or ought to, enable field surgeons to determine whether or not there is any use of fool ing with a wounded man. But the liver bnflies me. I can see through the lungs and bones and any other substance in the body but the liver. "Can- you tell what is the matter with n man who is sick with lung troubles?" "Under the rays the lungs look like lace curtains. You see some fine ara besques, but there is little to the lay eye. to indicate that any trouble ex ists. What can anyone tell about the figures in a lace curtain? It takes the most expert workers to tell when a figure is broken. The lungs are builded on similar lines and the exact value of the rays on such ailments is not de termined. I hope that they will dis close lesions."-Chicngo Chronicle.

"i It may be said without exaggeration! that the question of the hour is-tho supply of seamen for our fleet, says the l'all Mall liudget No jugglirsr with figures can conceal the fact that iu case of war we cannot send even all our modern vessels to sea. Thought every nerve wr.i strained at the maneu vers, though the depots Were depleted of Bcainen and stokers, we had to leav in porv no less than 1C8 fighting craft. In this total are included ten first and sect: ad class battleships, ten third-class battleships, seven coast defense iron clads, four old ironclads, seventeen cruisers, eleven torpedo gunboats, forty destroyers and sixty-nine serviceable) torpedo boats. Many of the . vessels in this enormous category are of the new est construction, and, though some are not yet completed for sea, all should be finished by the end of the financial year. We have none too many cruisers as it is, and when war is upon us we shall want every single one to prptect ir ulo3.sal trade. All the older iron ciuus will be needed to convoy our slow ocean tramps, all our coast defense vessels to protect our unfortified ports and towns on the coast. The French arc known to contemplate the bom bardment of open towns, and this is the) only means by which we can prevent stray cruisers doing us terrible harm. Our battleships will be wanted for the combat and to watch our enemies' ports. Our ironclads lack their proper complement of torpedo gunboats and torpedo boats; Indeed, our, first line, the Mediterranean fleet, has still only two. The crews required. for the ships which woul d not be able to put to sea amount to no less than 22.G10 men, or, reducing them to tho lowest possible limit, 20,000. Ships ' -are can build in three- years and less, , but-SinoTauan hardly be trained for . war in twice thnt time. Since 1889 wav havo been building faster than we could " obtain seamen. We have on the stocks or projected,' to-day another' mass of vessels which require at ' least 10,000 more men. It is jrue that the naval es timates for 18U4 contemplate an addi tiod to our personnel of over 0,000 men, but this is u mere drop in the ocean to the number which we require. We must understand that the English fleet disposes of procticr.lly no trained re serve. Though tho naval conflict of tq-morrow will bo bloody beyond be lief, involving holocausts of ships and men, we have not merely, too few sail ors to tftHe-orffecUvM ahlpo. Xa sas,,. but no one to replace those who fall in the struggle. ' ' 1 Year by year the proportion of Eng-' Vsh seamen in our mercantile marine dwindles, while the proportion of for eigners increases. Of our 80,000 Able . seamen 110 lens than 27,000 are foreign ers, and half the remainder have had less than four years' service. Nor is it a question of wages. From the ship owners goes -up the ominous complaint -t'aartlc Swede or the German is bet ter Ok lieu ted, more sober, more respect ful. ;llo does not desert, he is s better sailor, I and his physique is superior. -"The supremacy of the English sailor is waning," says 'the chairman of the West India and Pacific Steamship com- ' pany. These are terrible words for' its, whose pride and whose heritage in th past has been the sea. Our naval reserve numbers in its first '. class 20,00d t men. Their - training is limited in the extreme. They are, many of them, ignorant of the manipu- ' lation of the breechloader, for such is the wisdom of our rulers that they per- bist in drilling our reserves with ob solete guns. At Wick, where 1,160 men are trained, there is not a single ; modern weapon. After this they get . month at sea on a war ship. And that . is alL The trumpet will somnd; as many of them as can be obtained in " our home ports will be huddled on board our ironclads; lieutenants and officers will be borrowed from ships in commission, and our fleet will be put , to sea to 8ti re and certain defeat. Abroad there is readiness' for instast action, at home unreadiness. . HOOD EIVBB NUESEEl TILLETT & GALLIGAN PROPKIITORS. First-Class Nursery Stock a Specially. Sole proprietors of Yakima Apple.
