TREES ON FIRE.-Y esterday afternoon about
half past five o'clock, during the prevalence of a
high wind, an alarm of fire was sounded. Upon
descending iuto the streets, not knowing where
to look Cor the FIRE, we followed in the wake of
the hose reels and the boys, fully satisfied that if
one existed they would surely find it, Up 10th
street dashed the reels, swept the boys,
shouting and hallooing. distancing the writer,
who is neither fleet of foot nor famous for what
the rae ers call bottom. Steadily pressing on,
however, we deserted, near the of 10Th
and Clay streets, volumes of smoke; and coming
to the sage, though not entirely original. con-
cluson, that there must be some fire to produce
much smoke, we fastened forward. Upon
reaching the place, we disco vered two green lin.
den Trees situated in the front yard of Mr.. Il.
Gwathmey's residence, corner 10th and Clay
streets, to be on fire. The leaves of both were
charred and crsped and the trunks of each were
sending forth flames. The fremen speedily ex-
tinguished the fire, Notwithstanding the preva-
lencs of gale. Now. the question arises, how
did it happen that couple ofgreen trees, decked
outin all their young leafy honors, should take
fire, in the absence of that destructive master
but most useful servant They were situa>
ted, us before remarked. in the yard, some
distance from the dwelling house. No evidences
of the fire could be seen anywhere near, save
in the trees. No incendiary kindled it there.
that is certain; because, had he been so disposed
he would have given it up as a bootless task. to
say nothing of the risk of detection. How,
then, did they take fire! Some suppose that
sparks from a neighboring kitchen lighting
among the leaves, were famed by the gale into
flame, and that thus the fire was kindled.--
Under the belief that this opinion was sustained
by reason and common sense, we gave into it,
aud now leave the reader to become convert or
not us he was elect.

COMMONWEALTH VS.. RALPH E. ALLEN
This case, which had been adjourned from time
to time, fnally came on for examination before
the Mayor yesterday. Mr.. John Collins ap-
peared and charged the accused with committing
violent assault upon him on the night of the
27th ultimo. lie stated that he occupied
stable First street, between Grace and Frank
lin streets; that he was engaged in feeding his
horses on the Sunday night named, when the ac-
cused trespassed upon his premises; ordered him
off, and was told by accused that he would put
him (Collins) under his feet if he interfered
with him. followed accused to the street, but did
not go out Of the lot; received stunning blow,
administered by accused with loaded whales
bone stick (Which was produced in Court, and
managed to crawl back to the stable; was found
in the stable by named Hughes who
went for physician. Collins admitted in the
cross examination that he picked up stone and
threatened Allen with it; and other witnesses
testified to the fact that he followed Allen into
the street, and after getting on the side-w walk,
pushed him off into the street, when A. struck
him over the head with his walking cane.
The Mayor asked DR.. Snead collins physi-
cian) whether the wound his patient had re-
ceiyed would result in permanent injury. The
Doctor replied that he entertained the belief
that it would not; he thought Collins recovery
would be permanent.
The Mayor then stated that he 81 oud send

Mr.. Allen to enter into bonds in the penalty of
500, to appear before that Court at the ensuing

4 " The Philadelphia Inquirer notices
pamphle: entitled 1.-THE Cuban question cousid-
sdered 10 relation to the African race in which
| the writer contends that the situation in which
Cuba finds herself as Spanish colony, is the
worst 10 which she can remain, not only with
| regard to the African race, but as concerns her
community in general. He gives the population
OF the Island 10 164l, thus =
Total whites ;-.--.----...-. .---4Is 29t
Iotai iree olacks f132,S3s
Total slaves. 436,495
Grand Total. ...--.....--.....-.--.l,00 7,624
He says that in 1919, and previ Gus to the year
1884, the proportion between the sexes, (alluding
to the slaves could not be found in greater ratio
than ten females to every hundred males. In
1870, Treaty for the prevention of the slave
trade was entered into with England, and it was
hoped that the importation would decrease. But
the writer gives various facts and figures, and
arrives at the conclusion that since 1919, no less
than All, 1925 slaves have been carried from Afri-
ca to Cuba. And shall, he continues, the slave
trade on the coast of Africa ever be entirely ex-
tingulshed! He answers-Revei-as long as Cuba
remains a Spanish colouy and for the reason,
that the root of the evil exists in the Spanish 60
vernment; and if this root ue not destroyed, the
slave trade will continne TO fl ourish.
Abiding to the policy of Great Britain to-
wards Cuba, the writer uses the following LAM
gunge:
Only one word we shall add upon the true
| views and object of English politicians in regard
to the emancipation of Cuba. The basis of the
power aud greatness of Great Britain is known
to everybody to be maritime power; she sees
| in the United States II powerful rival capable
of dethroning her, and 10 the Island of Cuba, the
| last step with which the United States will reach
the zenith OF her greatness and from there dis
pute the dominion of the seas, if not suatching
| from her the sceptre; truth evident to every
body who studies and analyses the great
| picture which the civilized world presents
physically, morally and politically. This Is one
key to English politics in the Cuban question,
and the powerful motives that direct all her actions
for more than generation. although we could
name more remote period, that is to say, to
| impede that Cuba should separate itself from
| weak Spain. and fall in the hands of the power
| full American confederation. On the other hand
the fourishng state of agriculture OF the islands
Of Cuba and Porto Rico are prejudicial in the
extreme to the numerous English Colonies, aud
undoubtedly the ruin of the first named Island,
would give the double result of favoring her col
ones and very gravely injuring the Unitee
States. And as Cuba cannot be ruined by Eng
land if she achieves her Independence com
poses part of the United States, from all these
reasons springs her charity for Spain. her phi
lanthropy and humanity for the slaves, and he
+ severe morals against Cubans and Y ankees wht
make every effort to save the victim.
