K h i r WeHerJrBoolU usnnesuurnKn venrion in Qutm JL. ITH an unpardonable lack of tact or a grew some attempt at a sinister piece of hu mor. Gen. Valeriana Weyler. the former Spanish captain gen eral of Cuba, who gained for himself the unenviable title of "butcher." has al lowed the publishers to print the title of the sensational book in which he attempts to defend his onduct while the representative of the Spanish crown on that island, MI HAKDO EX CUBA (My Command in Cuba) in letters of gory scarlet on a pa per of livid gray. Whatever the motive may have been that prompted such a choice, that bloody "eye catcher" of a line fitly symbolizes the man and the work which caused so many years of discontent in Cuba. Weyler has been on trial before public opinion for butchering his enemies instead of llghitng them; and be Haunts in our faces the ugly stains that show where he wiped oft his knife.

General Weyler's style is very trying: even his proclamations vainlv modeled after Napoleon l.s oratorical gems, rarely sound the note that makes a peoplo or an army vibrate. His rela tions of the Cuban campaign with all the facts, figures, names recorded in haphazard fashion day by day, is well nigh unreadable. But the documents he publishes In support of his thesis (some of them of a confidential char acter and which must have been secured through "diplomatic means") make it well worth while wading through an otherwise dull, shapeless and indigestible piece cf writing. First of all we are made to realize how hope less the plight of the Spanish commanders had become, in the island when Weyler took the situ ation in hand; the many generals who preceded him had been losing ground from day to la : their cables to the Spanish government gave information of a pessimistic character of which the public and the press were seldom apprised; their confidential coi respondence betrayed heart i ending facts, more than once poor Gen. Marti nez Campos had humbly confessed himself beat en, while the cabinet led the Spanish nation to believe that the war was practically over. Weyler himself, when placed in command of :he Cuban army, was not even siven what he was entitled to. an honest account of the situation. "When I landed in Cuba." he writes. "I did not oven suspect the terrible conditions that pre vailed in the island. 1 did not knot, anvthing " ft 4 1 ! -. .- , ,--'v '- viwf -fiA'- :- TslI stil 1 ' TTS iff HPMRT'k , l&r -' ,?'"- & besides what the minister of war had o!d me and what I had read in the pa pers or in anon vmous let ters sent by Spaniards living in Cuba, and I thought that all of them exag g e r a 1 e il t h e facts; I had m, knowledge of the secret docu ments I have a p p e u d e d to this bonk.

Worse yet: The insur gent chiefs did not hesitate to kill with their own weapons defenseless islanders, and Maximo Go mez in his '.Memoires confesses to having shot personally a man he had sentenced to death, a deed which I call willful murder. And still that Individual presumes to call me i?sass-u. " As his authority for the foregoing statement General Weyler not only quotes extracts !rom the Cuban papers, but appends a proclamation of Maceo. Gomez's lieutenant, to his bands. "Comrades in Arms: Destroy, destroy every thing, day and night; to blow up bridges, to derail trains, to burn up villages and sugar mills, to annihilate Cuba is the only way to defeat our ene mies. We have net to account for our conduct to anyone. Diplomacy, public opinion and history don't matter. It would be sheer Insanity to seek the laurels of the battlefield, to bear the fire of the enemy's artillery and contribute to the glory of the Spanish commanders. The essential thing is to convince Spain that Cuba will b? but a heap of ruins. What compensation will she receive then for the sacrifice entailed by the campaign? We must burn and mzf everything It would be folly to fight as thr.ush we were an Europ-an army. v liere rit'es are of do the work. The only way to subdue such bloodthirsty, des perate pirates was to adopt their own tactics. The Insurgent, of their own admission, never gave nor accepted battle, but harassed the regulars anil destroyed their sources of supply. "Concentra tion" seemed to be the only solution of the prob lem, for the wives and children of the insurgents crave them constant aid and kept them informed of every movement of ihe Spanish regiments. Says General Weyler: "Of all the measures I took the most bitterly critlsized was the 'concentration,' which saved my troops from being uselessly deci mated and prevented the landing of arms and munitions consigned to the enemy. I need not defend that system. Whoever has a smattering of the history of modern wars knows that it was cop led by the English in the Transvaal and the -Americans in the Philippines, a fact most flattering to my pride as a general. "If individuals were sometimes summarily shot under my gen eralship, as it happens in the course of every war. they were put to death in obedience to the laws and regulations, never for the mere reason that they were insurgents. I pardoned those who returned to the fold, and showed much clemency to all those who came to me, however black their past may have been." It is a matter of regret that General Weyler should not have deemed it advisable to volunteer more information as to the organization of the concentration camps. He says that one pound of meat and a quarter of a pound of rice were allowed to every Individual over fourteen, and one-half that ration to children. which seems quite sufficient under the circumstances. A few paragraphs, however, couched in bis blunt, soldierly style, setting at naught the terrible charges preferred against him la con nection with that stern system ot war fare would have been interesting, but they were lack ing. His silence amounts to a confes sion of guilt. He makes a weak at tempt at explaining ;uat the wives and children of insur gents were not "con centratcd." but obliged to betake themselves where the head of the fam ily was supposed to be found. This Is worse yet, for one can conceive the ap palling abuses which such an order ema nating from the gen eral in chief must have countenanced and justified. As the revolutionary bands were constantly Bioving from east to west and from west to cast and could not be located with any certainty, what an existence must have been that of families whose men were not serving in the ranks or the regular army. Refused army ratious. com pelled to roam from one devastated village to a burnt down hamlet, they could uot but succumb to hunger and exhaustion. Had Weyler ben less brutally honest, he would have om:tt-d such a damaging admission. I'p to this day we have had books of many kinds dealing with the Cuban war; pamphlets put iiita by the insurgents and notoriously unfair to Spain; Spanisn publications which misrepre sented gro-slv the attitude of the United States; articits in European newspapers almost unani mously censuring the Americans for "robbing" Spain of her roh.ny. Now. hciviwr. we have the ficts presented almost without any comments and certainly with out mb"!lii:.:::i.:i: by a Spaniard who loves his country and frankly detests the Americans.

ISl'fi. when he bad the .situation well under control, the senate .l the Cnited States interfered mot unfairly, for it leeognrzcd th belligerency of the insurgents, th-rebv giving then! new courage. Tiii.'. is icr-i. convincing than the majority of his arguments, for if we ompare dates we find ietie-s in which h admits his failure to stop the jfprcs-s rf tii.- iiiourrecticn. His .it charge against the United States if contained in the following paragraph, which is too vague to be taken as seriously as some other statements cf his: "The United States were against everything that would bring about a termination of the war American citizens held several millions worth of Cuban bonds. Issued with the provision that the inland would pass under the domination of the United States ten years after Cuba would have separated herself from Spain. The Yankees saw that vvjth the pace I set the much-longed-for inde pendence of Cuba and its corollary, the annexa tion thereof, was becoming a more and more re mote possibility. Hut there was no reason why tbe peninsula shcnld have robbed all the gossip which originated in America." But on the whole the picture his letters and reports, as well as the letters of Martinez Cam pos he publishes, present to our eyes of Cuba in the ytnrs preceding the Maine incident would have justified any nation, near or remote, in inter vening U.r the sake or humanity; a population unanimous in its desire 'for independence; a bloody war which could only lead to an ephem eral peace and at best would have left the island a dreary wast for years to come; the rights of foreign land owners and investors trampled un der foot; all this horror had to be stopped. bpain dm not lose Cuba as a consequence cf jiii wit: t-ui.eii states; by the verv ad m of Spain's military representatives in that IS THIS THE OLDEST HUN?

Henry Dorman Is the man and als years number 111. Uncle Henry, as he Is called, was born January 10. 1799. He first saw the light of day In Steu sl 3i K F" i niiii iirim Jill I Willi I'llllllliini A "Uncle Henry Dorman. ben county. New York, at that time on the western frontier. When he was born there was not a sulphur match in existence. Washington was still alive and when Abraham Lincoln was born Uncle Henry was a schoolboy of eight. Before the first mile of railroad was laid he was a young married man with children about his fireside. For years the people of southeast Missouri looked upon Uncle Henry as a very old man. But they were not prepared for the announcement made a short time ago by the old man's rel atives that he was the oldest man in tho nation. The relatives had conduct ed a pretty thorough examination of the facts on the subject and they feel warranted In the assertion that Henry Dorman can show records to prove a greater age than any other man in the Jnitcd States. Some men assert that their years exceed those of Uncle Henry, but they cannot show the proofs. Host of these are negroes who do not really know how old they are. Uncle Henry bears the great burden of 111 years well upon his sturdy Ehouiders. His thick, short figure is bent with the weight of a century, hia hair Is thin and gray, and time has left its indelible traces In the furrows ol his face. His body still looks fairly strong. His eyes still beam forth fire from under his heavy lashes, and now and then they show a glint or humor, which proves that the old man. in spite of his advanced age. gets enjoyment out of living. A visitor went to the Dorman home a short time ago. The house on the old farm is old and small, but it is well kept up by the old man. his aged daughter-in-law and his aged grandson. All in the Dorman household are old, though they represent three genera tions. Hattie Dorman. the daughter- in-law. welcomed the visitor, and said that Uncle Henry was out "choreing around" some place. In a few minutes tho bent old man came in and extend ed a horny and wrinkled hand. The hand was his left. "You'll have to take my left. he explained, "because my right Is not fit to be shown. I got it shot at tbe bat tle of Yellow Tavern In Virginia, just before .he close of the war." And the old man showed the Injured member from which two fingers were miss ing. "Uncle ilenry" never took any care Rt himself in his youth, and it was ow ing to no design of his own that he ha3 lived to such a ripe old age. "I guess the Lord ju?t meant me to live long." exclaimed Uncle Henry, j "for 1 never took any kind of f-.ire of I myself. Xcne of my family yer lived j long, cither, and when I wa. thirteen I was an orphan.

Caring tor Zone's Health i The United States Is Taking Paternal Care cf the People Who Are in Panama. Povrn in the Panama canal zone the Vnited States government is taking the most paternal sort of care of the population, and the experiment is working well, according to informa tion received In Washington. Whether it would work so ,well with a popula tion of millions scatteied over a big continent as it does with a population of less than 50,000. confined to the small zone strip, is a question, but some of the facts are of interest. The people of the zone live under strict supervision. Everyone knows about the sanitary work of Colonel Gorgas and his big corps of assistants. They have drained swamps, killed (mosquitoes, screened houses and cleaned up the back yards as well as tne streets, much to the disgust of the natives, who thought that this was an unnecessary, if not an unholy, prac tise. But the supervision does not stop there. All the food is inspected, and, in spite of the distance from the Slates and the troable and cost of re frigeration and the expenses of trans portation and loss in a tronicai cli mate, the prices are actually lower in most cases than they are in Washing ton. The department of agriculture has been called into service In connection with the food, and, in addition to car rying out the provisions of the pure food and drug act that obtains In this country. Uiere is i special Inspection of all foodstuffs intended for the zone with the result that the residents of that strip come near getting what they pay for and pay less for it than if they were living at home in the land of the more or less free.

Two days after leaving Barbadoes the British steamship Dea l's, In from Buenos Ayrcs. sighted a sinking sloop flying signals of distress, which turned out to be the little Sun light, a wandering cj-rgo carrier be tween the islands of Antigua and Bar badoes. She lay helpless with her master and her crew of five flat on the decks. There was no water and no food In sight. When the men had been hoist ed aboard tho steamer and revived. Capt J. Frank, owner of the Sun light, said that he ran into a fog a few hours out of Antigua, had lost his bearings and for thirteen days he and his crew had been living on vine gar and sugar. How long they had been unconscious before the Ikalis bore down on them he did not know. As the fog came on, the sloop began to take water and the crew worked at the pumps until exhausted. Distress signals were set after a storm washed their food and water overboard and for nearly two weeks their sole sus tenance was sugar saturated with vinegar from a barrel which had been lashed fast. When the storm cleared it was found that the compass had gone witfc the provisions, and the crew pumped and sailed recklessly until, one by one, they were overcome by exertion and starvation and each, in his turn stretched himself out on the deck tc die Captain Frank was the last mas to give in. When the rescued men had been re freshed they Insisted on returning te the Sunlight, which had been kept In sight. Accordingly they were puj aboard with water and provisions, but while the Ikalis was bidding them adieu, they called for help. The Sun light was sinking. The Ikalia took them off again, the Sunlight was aban doned and the shipwrecked men were brought to this port FOR THE SKIN AND SCALP Because of Its delicate, emollient, sanative, antiseptic properties derived from Cuticura Ointment, united with the purest of cleansing ingredients and most refreshing of flower odors, Cuticura Soap is unrivaled for preserv ing, purifying and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair and hands, and, as slsted by Cuticura Ointment, for dis pelling itching irritation and in flammation and preventing clogging of the pores, the cause of many disfig uring facial eruptions.
