' The lestormet Captured While Trying to Put Into Santiago Harbor. . Key West, May 31.—'1‘.he British steamer Restormet was brought in here 1 yesterday under her own steam, by a. prize crew. She was captured by the auxiliary cruiser St. Paul, Captain Sigsbee, while trying to put into San- tiago de Cuba with a. cargo of coal. The steamer was bound from Cardiff to Porto Rico. 'As the Restormet came in the Brit- ish flag was flying half way-down her mast. She was leaking badly. News- paper men were not permitted to ap- proach within a. hundred yards of her. . The Restormet was captured under the very guns of Morro Castle, at Santiago de Cuba, at 6 a. m. on May 25. She carried 3,400 tons of best Welsh coal from Cardiff, presumably for Ad- miral' Cervera’s fleet. The St. Paul had been lying off San- tiago de Cuba for six days, and early last Wednesday morning the big col- lier was sighted, making at full speed for Santiago harbor. The St. Paul fired a. blank shot and the Restormet came to, four miles from the Santiago forts. The forts did, not fire on the cruiser. A prize crew, under the command of Lieutenant J. A. Pattson, was put on board and dispossessed the British of- flcexs, who made no protest. Not a. line was found among the ship's papers relative to the destination or consignee of the cargo. The Restormet was built at New- castle in 1882. She has agross tonnage of 2,020, is 286 feet long, has 36 feet 3 inches beam, and is 23 feet 7 inches . deep. She is owned by the Restormet S. S. Company, Limited (J. Cory & Sons), of Cardiff. BOUND Al‘i_D ABUSED HER. A Boarding Housekeeper Assaulted in Her Home. Tarrytown, May 31.—Mrs. Margaret Delaney, who keeps a boarding house on Ninth street, near Broadway, here, reported to the police yesterday that she had been bound, gagged and ill treated by a. strange man, who entered her house Sunday night. , Mrs. Delaney says that the man had come to her house at 8.30 o'clock Sun- day night and asked for food. She gave him a. sandwich. “Before I could. make an outcry he put his hand over-my mouth and then forced a. gag into it. He was a. power- ful fellow, and Leonid not move, al- though I struggled hard to get away from him." only one of AMI‘S. Delaney's boarders was home at the time. He was in bed asleep in the room-adjoining the one where the assault is alleged to have occurred. It was this boarder who afterwards heard Mrs. Delaney“s groans and re- leased her. . Mrs. Delaney is a widow, forty years old, and of a. rather prepossessing ap- pearance. ' SPANISH LETTERS STOLEN. Alleged to Contain the Names of Spies in the United States. Montreal, May 31.-—Lieutenant Car- ranza, Senor du Bose and other Span- iards here are much disturbed. A let- ter which is said to have contained a. list of Spanish spies in the United States was stolen from their house at 42 Tupper street, Saturday. The entire city detective force is looking for it, but it is gone, and is supposed to be in the United States by this time. offered $1,000 for the return of the let— ter. The detectives are now scouring the city, since until it is proved that the Spaniards are guilty of plotting, * they must be protected. SEARCH FOR AlzBRUTAL NEGRO. Knocked 3 de senseless and Tied Bil Hands and Feet. Paterson, N. J., May 31.-—-The police are scouring the country in search of Louis. Peck, a. negro with a. bad rec— ord, who on Saturday night brutally attacked Uriah Sweezy, an 8 year old boy. The boy went out to play with a few companions Saturday night and strayed into an empty barn. Peck was there and induced the little fellow to go to the rear of the building. Then he struck the boy a blow on the head, knocking him senseless. He then tied his hands and feet. The boy was al- most dead when found. He was taken to his father’s home. Canadian-1 See a. Chance. Montreal, May 31.—Canadian millera and merchants generally have been paying considerable attention of late to the trade of the West Indian islands. more especially since the outbreak of the war, which they expect will re- dound to their advantage. They antici». pate also that the preferential treat- ment to be accorded to rthe products of the 'British West Indies is likely to tend to popularize Canadian goods 11 those markets. WAR ECHOES. Jiminez, the alleged spy, starts for the North soon. The Pedro and Guido are twelve knot ships and will probably be bought by the government. It was said in Washington that troops would be landed to co-operate with the army at Santiago. The cook of the gunboat Hawk, 3. na- tive of Manila, deserted three days ago and was arrested at Key West yester- day. ’ A government official yesterday said that under present conditions, martial law could not be proclaimed at Key West. , At Key West nearly the whole popu- lat‘.on turned out to decorate the graves of the 24 Maine heroes and ob- serve Memorial day. The fortifications at Egmont and Mullet keys are so far advanced that danger from an attack by some stray Spanish torpedo boat is no longer ap- prehended. The Americans are fortifying Corre- gidor island, at the entrance to Manila bay and mining the channel. They will give a warm reception to any pos- sible antagonist. Nothing was heard yesterday of the two alleged spies who escaped in an open boat to a waiting schooner. It is claimed that they are supposed to be the Fort Taylor spies. It is understood that Carranza has -R. G. ’ glad to hear. _ himself in pictures. SUCCESS IN ORATORYL INSERSOLL POINTS THE WAY TO IT IN GRAPHIC LANGUAGE. The Young Aspirant is Advised, for Our Thing to Avoid Reference to Himself— To Study Language and Books and to be a Student oi Shakespeare. To the young man who_aspires to be a. leader of men, whether in political af- fairs or jotherwise, it is quite cereltain that the art of pubic speaking is as use- ful now. as it ever was. Colonel Inger- soll, as a. past master of the. art, was induced to give his ideas on the sub- ject the other evening. What advice would you give to a young man who was ambitious to be- come a successful public speaker 01 orator? he was asked. “In the first place,” said Colonel In- gersoll, “I would advise him to have something to say—something worth saying—~somethlng that people would be This is the important thing. Back of the art of speaking must be :the power to think. Without thoughts words are empty purses. ] would advise the young man to study his subject, to find what others had thought, to look at it from all sides. Then I would tell him to write out his thoughts or to arrange them in his mind, so that he would know exactly what he was going to say. Waste no time on the how, until you are satisfied with the what. After you know what you are to say, then you can think of how it should be said. Then you can think about tone, emphasis and gesture; but if you, really understand what you say, emphasis, tone and gesture will take care of themselves. The orator should be true to his subject, should avoid any reference to himself. . HRQBERT G. INGERSOLL. “The great column of his argument should be unbroken. He can adorn it with vines and flowers, but they should not be in such profusion as to hide the column. He should give variety of ep- isodes by illustration, but they should be used only for the purpose of adding strength to the argument. “The great orator is full of variety—~01 surprises. Like a juggler, he keeps the colored balls in the air. He expresses His speech is a panorama. By continued change he holds the attention. The interest does not flag. He does not allow himself to be anticipated. He is always in ad- vance. He does- not repeat himself. A picture is shown but once. So, an orator should avoid the commonplace. There should be no stuffing, no filling. He should remember that gilded dust is not as good as dusted gold. The great orator is honest, sincere. He does not pretend. His brain and heart go to- gether. ' Every drop Of his blood is convinced. Nothing is forced. ' He knows exactly what he wishes to do- knows when he has finished it, and stops. 1 “Only a. great'orator knows when and how to close. Most speakers go on af- ter they are through. They are sat- isfied only with a “lame and impotent conclusion." Most speakers lack variety. They travel a. straight and and dusty road. The great orator is full of episode. He convinces and charms by indirection. He leaves the road, visits the fields, murmurs in the woods. listens to the murmurs of springs, the songs of birds. He gathers flcrrrrs. scales the crags and comes L. E; .3 the highway refreshed, invig- CI‘L.-_‘.(1. He does not move in a straight line. He wanders and winds like a stream. 1 “Of course, no one can tell :1 man what to do to become an orator. The great orator has that wonderful thing called presence. He has the strange something known as magnetism. He must have a flexible, musical voice, ca.— pable of expressing the pathetic, the humorous, the heroic.‘ His body must move in unison with his thought. He must be a reasoner, a Iogician. 'I—Ie must have a. keen sense of humor—of the laughable. He must have wit, sharp and quick. He must have sym- pathy. His smiles should be the neighbors of his tears. He must have imagination. He should give eagle-s to the air, and painted moths should flut- ter in the sunlight. ‘There should be no introdu-cti 011 to an oration. The orator should com- mence with his subject. There should be no prelude, no flourish, no apology, no explanation. He should say nothing about himself. Like a sculptor, he stands by his block of stone. Every stroke is for a purpose. As he works the form begins to appear. \Vhen the statue is finished, the v. orkman stops. Nothing is more difficult than a. perfect close. Few poems, few pieces of music, few novels end well. A. good story, a great speech. a perfect poem, should end just at the proper point. The bud, the blossom, the fruit. No delay. A great :peecii is a crystallizationin its: logic, and c'fien-escelace in its. poetry 9" - ' '1 I velopment of the United States and which now make our undivided pos- session of the Canal a necessity to Draper naval connections betweenboth shores of the Continent in time of war. 01! course the treaty was a com- promise of undoubted American rights but it was a. wise one under the cir— ' cumstances; for after a war over Tex- . as the United States were in no mood to stand up to Lord Palmerston as we are fortunately now able to 'do in the case of Lord Salisbury. The next statesman who overmas. tered the foreigner and who boldly and successfully maintained American rights was William H. Seward. 0f Seward’s personality and commanding position the people are fully aware. Thegeneration which knew him first as a. leader of the Senate and after- wards as Lincoln’s competitor at the Chicago convention of.-.1860 are deeply sensibleof his masterly genius in the greatest crisis of the Union. The grasp and firmness of the man are re- sponsible for three things that have profoundly aflected American history. First, the sudden dispatching of the 'Russian Fleet to Hampton Roads, when it became known in Washington that Lord Palmerston had troops land- ed in Canada, and that the Navy 01 England, if opportunity afforded would be used in behalf of the COnfederates. Second, that stubborn Americanism which triumphed over Lord Lyons in the Trent affair, and aftgrwards se- cured the settlement of the trouble- some Alabama claims. Third, the ac- quisition of Alaska,'which was really written- off by the Emperor of Rus‘ sia as a graceful concession to the Monroe Doctrine, and in reciproca. tion of Seward’s magnanimous offer to recoup the Czar for the coal burned by the Russian fleet in the darkest hours of its history. Seward was probably the greatest and most feared in Europe of all our great American Secretaries of State.. But it is the Secretaryship of Wil- liam L. Marcy in the administration of Pierce that has most interest at the present time and bears more‘ directly than any other upon those stirring events through which we are now pass- ' ing. The rather flabby foreign policy of Taylor and of Fillmore who preced- ed him, greatly angered the masaes of the American people. They were tired of a government that did police duty for Spain in. Cuba. ‘ They want- ed to utterly reverse that policy of “scat, scuttle and surrender," which under the Ashburton arrangement, and the whole Oregon boundary upon the saw part of Maine absorbed in Canada. protection of which they had set their hearts given away on the Northwest in the Oregon contention, and having valiantly contended for “Fifty, four- forty or fight" they gave the Pierce ticket an overwhelming majority. ~Marcy who thusbecame Secretary, of State,_.det_erinined at onceon driving Spain out of Cuba and England out of Honduras. The circumstances of Marcy's time were in some respects very like the present; Then. too, the Cubans were in arms for their liberty. The Order of the Lone Star instituted in 1853 to ‘-'liberate Cuba from the despotism of Spain" was very like the Cuban League now organized in the United States for the same purpose. Then, too, Spain was busy off-setting outrages on American citizens by Spanish claims cf filibustering. , It is the question of the destruction of the Maine to-day; it was one involving a vessel called the “Black Warrior" then, that ‘stirred the indignation of the people. It is a striking remin- isence that there was also a division of opinion between the President and Congress of that period, with the trif-- ling difference that it was the Presi- dent who was then anxious to make war on Spain, and it was Congress that then declined the responsibility. Just as in President McKinley' 5 case there was also a. proposal to place a sum of $10, 000, 000 at the disposal of the Presi- dent as a mark of confidence; and a resolution authorizing a levy of 50,- 000 volunteers to fight in Cuba. F1- nally there was an alignment of the principal European powers which so closely duplicated that of the present Grand Alliance, if we may so call it, as to be little less than wonderful how almost exactly on the lines of Marcy’s day the Cuban question comes up once more in a great international diplo- matic problem. There was then as now an abiding .desire to stiffen the foreign policy of the country, and Marcy, who sent a naturalized Frenchman as Minister to Madrid, gave instruction to sound Spain on the delicate subject of pur- chasing Cuba. The Secretary of State also took a step then far in advance of to- -day. ' It was that while the United States would do nothing to disturb the relations of Spain with Cuba, the United States “would at the same time .much dislike to see Spain make use of the assistance of other powers to assert its supremacy over the island" (See Von Holsts’ Constitutional His- tory, 1854-61, p. 29). He also sent to Buchanan who was Minister to Eng- land, a protest about sending ships of war to our ceasts as not being re- spectful to this republic; and instruct- ed Soule to make it plain to Spain, that “while she remains in fact as well as in name sovereign of Cuba, she can depend upon our maintaining our duty as a neutral power, however dif- ficult it may be." Marcy added that it “was not proposed to acquire Cuba un- less the inhabitants were very general- ly disposed to concur in the transfer.” This was substantially the same po- sition taken by John Quincy Adams, by Clay, by- Van Buren, Polk, Webster and Calhoun. Marcy also rigidly in- sisted that no other power than Spain should be permitted to- acquire Cuba under any pretense whatever. In 1857 Ithe american 'Minister at Paris had informed the State Department of the existence of a treaty between. Gren: 'dog days of June, and adjourne \ Britain, France and Spain which guar. anteed Cuba. to Spain. formerly declared. that the ‘United States would never recognize any such treaty. Marcy now supplemented this decision bylthe clear inference or by the positive. statement that once Spain’s sovereignlty became nominal in Cuba, or she refused to sell Cuba Webster had , for a. fair price, we were in duty bound . to wrest the island from Spain if we possessed the power “upon the same principle that would justify one indi- vidual in tearing down the burning house of his neighbor if there were no other way of preventingagthe flames from destroying his own home.” Suddenly, however, both Marcy and the President changed their position on the Whole Cuban question. This was on May 31,1854. The pe0ple were exaspe1ated but powerless to give ef- fect to their deep convictions. Con- gress debated the question dur g the with- out taking any definite action on the subject. Thus Spain escaped at that one, and the magnificent opportunity furnished by the Crimean war, in which Great Britain, France and Bus. sia were engaged in the following year, .found this country divided ,on the Cuban question. The Southern states were indisposed to exhaust those forces in an attack on Spain Which later on they desired to marshall in the defense of slavery. ~ The North was 8.1- 1 so equally reluctant to admit or 9.0., quire territory that might easily strengthen the slave-holding interest in the South. - But though local Jealousiesthus pre- vented the. liberation of Cuba, in 1854, the policy of Marcy was well worthy of a country, and it was one which NaJ poleon’s Ministers, with all their in- grained acumen and natural sympathy for Spain, were unable to withstand. The sectional divisions spared Spain a humiliation then, but made‘it neces- sary for Cleveland in 1895 to re-assert the Monroe Doctrine in the case of England in Venezuela and in Nicara- gua. A stiff policy is the cure for Europe every time. England's New Vaccine Methods. London has just recently adopted the calf-lymph for vaccinating pur- poses, and has prohibited by stringent regulations all other methods. In fact it was at first proposed to put into op- eration the French system which com- pels the young health doctor to take a calf with him when vaccinating and to transfer the vaccine direct from the calf to the child. The new English method provides for preserving the vaccine in glycerine. It seems that vaccination with calf lymph has be- come the habitual, if not the universal, practice in most of the Continental towns, and in many cases vaccination with humanised lymph is prohibited. The evidence of bacteriologists shows that the admixture of 50 per cent, solu- tion of pure glycerine in sterilized wa-- ter to calf lymph can be stored for a number of weeks and remain qui e ac- tive to vaccine. The new method of getting the vac— cine lymph is described by a ndon expert, as follows: . “To prepa're a sur- face for the insertion of the lyniph, the right side of the animal is thoroughly scrubbed with soap and hot water, and then shaved over an area extending between the internal edges of the fore and hind limbs and from some four ' or five inches below the spinal ridge to the umbilicus. The shaved area. is next washed with soap and hot watery“ then with a hot solution of boracic acid and, finally, with plain hot water. It is afterwards dried- with clean, soft cloths. “A number of superficial incisions, each about one inch long, are then made in a. direction at right angles to the long axis of the body, and about a couple of inches from one another. The incisions of the several rows are made en echelon. The lancet employ- ed for the purpose has a spear-headed blade, this shape being specially rec- ommended by M- Chambon. Over each incision a drop of glycerinated lymph is allowed to fall from a glass tube, and the drop is rubbed in with the flat portion of the blade of the lan- cet. The process is carried out by one of the laboratory servants, and is a somewhat lengthy one. “When the lymph has dried, the calf is removed from the table and taken back to its stall. “.The vaccine material is always col- lected on the sixth day after innocu— lation. For this purpose the calf has to be placed again on the table. The lymph is drawn up into a sterilized glass syringe and stored in tubes.” Laughter and Insanity. “It is a‘curious fact," said a physio cian recently, who was a specialist in nervous diseases, “that, taken as a general ,rule, all lunatics laugh about twice as much as sane people. “Laughter after a surgical operation is a symptom dreaded by doctors and nurses. ’o “That queer impulse to laugh which 1 some people experience in the first mo- ment of a sudden calamity is in reality ' one of the sharpest warnings of insan- ity that any one could receive. . “Some people fall into a habit of laughing at their own thought when .alone; this should be always strictly ichecked, as it is an unhealthy Sign and may lead to brain trouble late;- on. A Wonderful Tree. , "I know a tree,” saidthe farmer to the learned professor, “what never- had a leaf or bud,:and yet there’s nuts on it.” ‘ “Astounding, . sir, astounding! No such remarkable tree has ever been found by the botanist. What is it?" “A axle—tree." “" f The man who paints his address on his umbrella is very likely to be robbed of his good namé.
