Volunteers In Cuba Must Be Mus tered Out Before May 1 the Southern Porta Make Thli Action Neceaaury ( amp to lie Itc-eatabllnhed Indignant at the Aaaembljr. Washington, March 13 The war department has dotormined to muster out and bring home all the volunteers in Cuba with the exception of the Tjlunteer engineers and immunes. The necessity for immediate action has been brought to tho attention of the war department on account of the quarantine regulations against Cuba which go into effect about the 1st day of May and which are especially strict at all southorn port?. When the troops are brought to thi country they must, under the law, be mustered out in United States camps and thoy no doubt will be brought to camps nearest their homes. It is de sired also to have them brought to places where fumigating can be done and it is possible that troops for north ern states may be brought to Montauk and Camp WikofT again bo established although the present intention is to have all northern troops sent to Camp Meade in Pennsylvania. The troops of North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana and Georgia wil probably be brought to Savannah; ihe Texas troops to Galveston and the Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia troops to Old Point Comfort, Va. Indignant at the Aaembly. Santiago, March 13. Much excite ment prevails in San tiago owing to the action of the miiitary assembly in di missing General Gomez from the poBt of commander-in-chief. All classes of Cubans repudiate the assembly's pro ceedings, declaring that it does not represent the national demand, and that no attention is paid its act by the Americans. Some of the Cubans claim tha assem bly should read the history of England during Oliver Cromwell's time and see what they did with parliaments. The general opinion is that the assembly's act has been the severest blow dealt to the legitimate aspirations of the Cuoans since the American occupation, which action gives to the world the impression that they are incipable of self-government. MONKEY AND VIOLIN. Dan Klce, the Showman. Daaorlbe a Fanny Scene. It may surprise many persons to learn that monkeys, despite their clev erness, are not endurlngly susceptible to the influences of "higher educa tion." for infinite is their Innate de pravity. I found them ready enough to learn, but persistent In refusal to display their knowledge when required to do so by their patient teacher. This peculiar side of monkey nature waa forcibly impressed on me when I tried to form an orchestra, or string band, among the simians of my menagerie. We were In winter quarters, and as It was my custom to devote my spare time during the cold term to taming and training wild animals for the next season, I had a family of monkeys confined In an apartment adjoining my reading, smoking and music room. One morning upon entering the cot tage my ears were greeted by the sound of my 'cello. I paused, wonder ing what visitor had provoked my rich-toned instrument to such unseem ly discord. Then I approached closely and through a window saw a laughable scene. Seated upon a chair, with a smoking-cap on his head, spectacles on his nose and meerschaum pipe in his mouth, was Joe, the largest mon key of the menagerie, sawing away at the 'cello with bow in hand. Several of the smaller monkeys were In pos tures of surprise and delight at Joe'a performance. I had omitted to lock the door of the monkey room, and that accounted for the Intrusion on my sanctum. Highly entertained, I stood for a time a silent spectator, until seen by a little monkey, which notified its fellows of my presence with a sharp cry. In a twinkling the animals dashed from the room; Joe, minus cap, spectacles and pipe, bringing up the rear and carefully closing the door be hind him. Upon entering the house I found all the monkeys safely en sconced In their proper room and look ing as innocent as lambs, while the old ringleader was snoring and apparently sound asleep. From this occurrence the idea of trying to form an orchestra of monkeys came into my mind, for I well knew that such a troupe, even if It produced anything but melody, would be a strong attraction. Youth's Companion. Praise for American Schoola. Dr. Krohn, a prominent educator, a graduate of Yale, and who has studied In France, Germany, Austria, Italy and England, says that he is firmly con vinced that the system of public schools in this country is far in ad vance of all other nations,' but that our system has too.mucli forcing and unless much care Is exercised in that regard it will tell on the children. He further says that precocity, unlesa carefully guarded and directed, is al most aa dangerous as imbecility. A priceless blessing is found in Dr. Sawyer'a Arnica and Witch Hazel Salre for piles, hives, scald-head, ec 5ma pin worms, burns and cuts. A. W. At wood. a .1 . auaaen aart, grasp tne venomou reptile by the neck, so that It has no chance to use its poisonous fangs, am quickly squeeze it to death. A hog, es peclally If fat, suffers no danger from the rattlesnake, says the New York Press. He will boldly march up to the colled reptile, allow himself to be struck In his Jowls once, twice or three times, as the case may be, and will then calmly proceed to swallow the reptile -without concern. The rea son for the hog's immunity is due to the fact that the blood vessels are so ml nute and Infrequent on the cheeks where fat is predominant, that they fall to take up the poison and carry it through the porcine system. ' Hogs have been used in droves to clear some of the islands of the southern seas of poisonous reptiles.-and have proved successful. By remembering two simple facts -any one can distin guish a poisonous serpent from i harmless one. The venomous reptile invariably . possesses a triangular shaped head and blunt nose, while his tail is correspondingly blunt and stub by. Any snake that tapers smoothly from the middle of Its body to the tip of its nose and to the tip of its fail as well, growing slender in a gradual and regular" manner, .Is absolutely de void of venom.

General Gomez explains that 6,000 commissioned and 10,000 noncommis sioned ollicers are relatively largo numbers in an army of 32,000 privates, but that these officers, in many cases, received their appointment, because the Cubans have had no other way of recognizing bravery and stimulating enthusiasm. "It may seem," he says, "a cheap sort of promotion, but it meant a good deal to the Cubans." General Gomez continues to produce an excellent impression on the Ameri can military authorities. The stories printed here and else where to tne etfect that GovernorGen eral Brooke intends to require the Cuban assembly to discontinue its meeting's are officially denied.

An eminent doctor has been investi gating the malady and has come to the conclusion that sunstroke is not due simply to excessive heat or ex posure to the full rays of a cloudless sun. He declares that sunstroke is, on the contrary, an infectious disease, caused, like fever or smallpox, by a specific organism or germ. But this germ he has not yet succeeded in isolating, though he hopes in course of time to do ho. There is little doubt, he says, that the germ is bred In the superficial layers of the soil in cer tain low-lying regions of the earth, and that it is imbibed into the hu man system by the breathing of dusty air.
