We learn that the Eve persons belonging to the
Cuban expedition, who were left or remained shore
at Cardenas and fell into the hands of the Spaniards
have been shot Over one hundred prisoners belong
ing to the expedition have also been taken by the
Spanish vessels of War; on the Island of Contory,
on the high seas, whom the Cuban authorities also
threaten to put to death. Our Consul at Havana
demanded that these latter prisoners should be Civ
en- up to the United States, they had been taken
on neutral territory and had not violated the laws
of Spain. The Governor made no reply to our Con-
sui, who transmitted dispatches to Washington sta
ting the facts and calling for additional powers.
A demand has been made by this Government up
on the Spanish authorities in Cuba FOR the surren-
der of the prisoners and stating that the arrest of
Americans any other island, on the high seas,
will not be recognized permitted. 1t is also said
that United States Squadron has been ordered to
Cuba to enforce this demand. There seems to be
more trouble brewing. If the Spaniards dare put
these prisoners to death, their days numbered in
Cuba. No Government could resist the public de-
mand for war, and no earthly power could prevent
the capture of the Island AS for the prisoners whc
taken upon Cuban SOIL and in the act of viola
ting the laws of that country, although we may
sympathise with them, we have no right to inter

In publishing the vote of the Senate, Mr.. SEW
ARDS motion to apply the Wimot Proviso to the ter
ritories of New Mexico and Utah, he asserts
that "a majority of those who voted yea are

in your next issue, who had the majority of those
voting nay. The Chronicle has made an erroneous
assertion. The vote stood % yeas, to 33 nays: ten

Biographical sketch of Carl Maria ven we
her, Author of Der Freyschuiz.

As The FieySch1t2 is to be brought out at Ma
retzek's AstorPlace, our readers will peruse with
some interest the following biographical sketch OF
it's immortal composer:
Carl Maria Won NJ cher was born at Eutn IN
the Duchy of Holsteinl on the 18th of December,
1856 His father Was Major in the royal army
and made great sacrifices to give his son, whom
he tenderly loved a tirst-rate education This son
FIRST wished TO become painter but he soon de
voted himself entirely to the study of music.
His father encouraged hip in II and placed him
under the care oil Haydn, who was then living at
Salzburg. He published his first work-SiX
Fugnes-u 1896, when ne was only ten years OF
age. In 1900 he produced his first opera The
Forrest Nymph which was very tavoraby re
ceived IN Vienna, Prague and St, Petersburg
His second opera, however. Peter Scmnal and
his ncshbor, proved failure, and was never
published, with the exception OF the Overture
In lS02 he made a tour through Germany aud
Holland, and gave concerts with great success
He returned soon after 10 Vienna, where he made
the acquaintance of the Able Noger under
whose guidance he remained for some time. Next
he accepted temporary call as Director OF the
Opera at Breslau. and finally settled III Dresden,
where he formed an Opera company twas there
that the Fitg$chut- was brought out III 1921, and
soon after created perfect fanaticiSm throughout
Europe. The great success of the FreySckia1
procured Weber Aatterins offer from the Court
Opera House Of Vienna to compose an Opera for
that ,heater. He selected the hbretto Etryaathe
OF Madame de Chevy and brought II out in 1923.
His fame had now reached its climax, and orders
poured in upon him from all sides, among which
was one from Covent Garden Theater OF London.
TO which he gave the preference. In spite of the
impaired state of his healthhe worked incessant-
". and went in 1926 to London, where he met
with the most enthusiastic reception, He proba,
bly, would have settled in London if the physi-
clans had not insisted upon his Immediately leav
ing for more cougena climate, the pamonic at
lection under which he was laboring having made
fearful strides but alas, it too late, and he
been set apart for his benefit the Opera selected
being the freysctatz He was inferred with the
creates, pomp in the Moorield's Chapel, whence
his mortal remains were transferred to Dresden
in lS44.

Effects of the Fugitive Slave Law.

Wing friend writes from Trenton, N. j. to IN
close us SIS for Watson &. Haynes, and expresses
hope that the iogging of women as well as men
will soon cease to be cherished among the pecul-
lar institutions of our country. He says that the
noble stand taken at Syracuse has been hailed
with great satisfaction in NewJersey as well as
other Free States as an earnest of better times
and proceeds
"A melancholy effect of the internal Fugitive
Slave Law has Just occurred here. Two or three
evenings since it became rumored among the
blacks that Slave-oatchers We're in town The
fear is very prevalent among that class, and IN

be taken away, by purchased affidayits-conse-
quently they are all in much alarm. One man on
