situation of affairs at that Time and stale
that the government troops were badly
beaten in an encounter with the insurgents.
While The light was progressing, Capt.
Farrell, the American Consul, mounted
the barbados In uniform, and holding the
American flag 10 hand, called upon both
parties TO stop The struggle and put an end
10 bloodshed. The fight was shortly after
brought to a close and hostiilies ceased.
Numerous buildings throughout the city
bear evidences Of the struggle. The
City Hall was badly shattered by can
non shOts, and vessels in the bay
filled with people departing. The
government troops, it is reported, were
guilty of excuses and plundered come
of the deserted houses. 4 number Of
English and American tourists were ar
rested by the military authorities, but re-
leased through the inlerpOsition OF the
American Consul, and on their release
were forwarded 10 the ConsuPs private
residence, which was the resort of people
of all nationalities seeking protection.
The insurgents loudly proclaimed in favor
of a republic, and cheered loudly for
America. They also declared if the city
was bombarded they would ask that coun
try TO be annexed to the United States.

SOME of the secrets Of the liquor trade
were revealed in a recent trial before the
United States District Court in Philadel-
phia where the question was concerning
domestic GIN One Of the witnesses
testified as follows "Being asked on
cross examination to explain the process
of rectifcation and conversion Of the
spirits into gin, he replied that it was
done by the use Of certain chemicals,
which he did not wish to name unless
the court required it. He was told to
answer the questions, and said that to
the one hundred and twenty gallons oil
whisky had been added six gallons OF
prune wine and two ounces Of the oil Of
juniper berry. In answer to q question
how much all that cost, he replied that
he paid six dollars gallon for the oil of
Jumper berry, and almost the same price
for the prune wine. The latter, he said,
is imported from Ireland, especially for
the rectifcation of spirits, and he did not
use charcoal to rectify."
