Dr. Diijnrdiu Bcnutuetz disagreed
with Dr. Seo as to some points In tho

fact that it was not always benign. Ho
believed that tho epidemic was a form
of thu dengiio a peculiar erratic epi

Ha'ana, Dec, 29. Tlie excitement
caused by Senator Call's resolution In
favor or tho acquisition or Cuba by the
United States has not subsided. It
Increases ir any thing, although not so
oM)idy displayed. A cablegram from
Madrid tends to keep up Uio anxiety
and showing that thn provallingophlon
In tho mother country Is that the
United States Government, although
appearing to he indifferent, Is aiming
at annexation. The liberal party in
palu is taking advantage of the
situation nnd is pressing tho Govern
ment to grant Cuba all tho liberties and
privileges she claims and thus secure
hor fldelity and defeat tho claims of
the annexationists. In Cuba Call's
motion has taken hold not only of pro
fessed annexationists, who aro In larg-r
numbers hero than Is generally
supposed, but also of a vast
majority or the Cuban people,
who piofoundly belle vo that it
was presented in tho Senuto In ac
curdanrn with some secret resolution
passed in the Pan-American congress,
which Is tho bote nolr of tho loyal
.Spanish pnrty. Tho Hldulgnnbe loving
Spain to he still tho Spain of the Fif
teenth century never ceaso to declare
that "the ever-faithful island" Is not
for salo, that there Is not enough trim
uro In tho wor d to buy her, that force
can not take her. and th.it Spain would
spend her hist d-dlur nnd sacrlllco her
last soldier to maintain the Integrity of
her territory. They contemptuously
ignore tho possibility of Cuba going
over to tho United States of her own
accord, yet the party in favor of such
action Ih growing every day. It em
braces all the IImtiIuiiiI discontented
elements of the population with a pow
erful nucleus of the old republican
partt, which has mndo many efforts to
cstabii h the independence of tho Isl
and. All now seo their only hopu is In
the Un.tod States. Tlioy claim
Blaino is well aware of tho im
IMirtunco of Culm to Spain, nnd uio con
vinced that before long Cuba will enter
the American confederation, where her
commercial interests ami political as
pirations lie. Tho plundering and
ruinous administration of employes
whom tho Spanish Goverumuut sends
to Cuba have greatly iuereasml tho
public discontent, and hits converted
with the annexationists a large number
of rich Spaniards ItcloiurJng to tho con
servative party, who seo their fortunes
melting away throiiKli steady deprecia
tion or property or all kinds. All these
disaffected elements only neol to Iks
united under it strong hand to make
the annexation sentiment of tho coun
try tell. Thou Cuba would fall as
nntuially to the United States as a ripe
jioar to tho ground. One of the stiong
est Incentives of the patriotic annexa
tionists to a union with their great
neighbor Is that their fair Island may
be nved rrom thu grasp of negroes und
the fate of Huytl and San Domingo,
to which It la tending.

Pim.ADKi.rntA, Doc. 28. Tlia l!edl
cal News or this city publislie aa arti
cle on influenza, "la grippe," by Prof.
Bobcrts Bartholomew, of Jefferson
Medical College. After giving an his
torical sketch of the disease, lis pathol
ogy and morbid anatomy, thu aather
says:
"Influenza comes suddenly; goes aa
quickly. Thu least robust, at any age,
and womeu seem to lie the tiist viotlms.
It is here a question of bodily condition
and not of the sex. Tho largo num
bers simultaneously attacked attract
general attention, and thus tho most
impressionable aru .seizotl, tlio oiuwt be
ing facilitated by any depressing CBte
tfou, such as fear or illness.
"There Is no rigor, properly to he
thus designated, but rather a series of
light chills and a feeling of heat there
with. Sometimes nmlaiso of a general
kind is experienced, but, like the at
tack Itself, is short In duration 1-wtiug
but n few hours.
"With the first access of tho natal
Irritation comes tho chilliness, which Is
followed by some fevcrlshtiois with
more pronounced malaise, and in gen
eral tho headache, weakness and sore
ness of tho members, especially ef the
larger Joints. With the progress of the
case in some epidemics there U eon
siderable weakness, even marked de
pression of tho vital powers. The
pulse becomes small and weak, the
mind gloomy and restlessness ensue.
"When a fatal termination I U oc
cur, as a rule, an extension downward
into the trachea and bronchi takes
place.
"Although catarrhal and croapoua
pneumonia are said to lo complications
they should lo regarded as occasional
considerations and when present are,
properly speaking, constituted parts er
the malady.
"Thechlof Importance of croupous
and catarrhal pneumonia Is that the
development of these, out of an exist
ing catarrh of tho bronchi, U frequent
ly it cause ot death.
"Tho rapidity with which the diseane
Mipvrvcnos, its preliminary develop
ment lclng hours mid its wholo care
but a matter of three or fourthly, Is
remarkable, ltclupse aru common,
usually each succeeding sui7.ure belag
milder, hut not it few pass by easy
transition into ehrouic bronchitis, em
physema, asthma, etc.
"Obviously a catarrhal process tm
exteusivo and severe, may coutiihute
Immensely to chronic diso.ino of tho
middle oar, oustachhui tube, uoso aud
throat, and thus permanently damage
tho parts.
"Tho boat manner of securing Im
munity is by the inhalation of sal
phuric acid gas daily when tlio ap
proach of the epld mlc renders It nee
e.s4ry, nnd by taking five grunts ef
salicylate of cinchonidino three tlaaea
a day and by so living a to avoid tak
ing cold.
"When the attack has hegaa ti
seems to me dosiruhlo to give ene er
two grains of calomel ut nUht, Inhale
oine sulphuric acid gas, and have the
patient alt in a room where steam con
taining cucalyptol can ho Inhaled in
large quantity. Tho Insufflation of
resorclu by dusting over the entire
urea of affected parts as far as prac
tical Is also recommended.
"Tho internal remedy most desirable
is utrophiuo iu solution one grain to
one ounce of witter tho doie being
from ono to five drops, the minimum
being for little children. Tho tincture
of belladonna may Ut used from ene
to ton drops twice a day. Aa thin
modicaut is both prompt and prolonged
iu action, it should bo given not more
than twice a day, unless the deo be
much smaller than Is advised above.
Salicylate of cinchonldiiie and quinine
.should le given as a prophylactic rem
edy, if there lie reasons to nuppo.se that
such power Is really exerted by it
"My own conviction Is that as a
prophylactic tho combination ef ein
chonidiiio with sallclic acid Is prefer
able to quinine. For the depieaalon
and melancholy it is probable that
atrophiue would be better. For the
distressing headache, joint pains aud
wakefulness autipyrin, ncotaiiltld,
pheuacetltld, phenacetin and other ger
micides and autlM-ptic will, no deubt,
be found useful."
