CUBA.

The Strength of the Insurgents and
their Chances Of Success.
Secretary Fish, some time ago, adj
dressed communication to the Consul
at Havana, instructing him to ascertain
from the American consular agents in
other parts of the island, and from any
other trustworthy sources, the exact
status and strength Of the insurgent
party, and what are its chances
of success. Last Wednesday the
Secretary received Yoluminous dis
patches from Consul Plumb,
who states that it is almost impossible to
arrive at a correct estimate of the force
under the Cuban leaders. The Consul
incloses letter from prominent Amer
lean merchant residing in the interior,
who estimates the whole Cuban army
at from fifteen 70 twenty thousand
men. This includes deta ;hed parties
acting as guerrillas, as well as the
regular force. A letter .inclosed by the
Consul from another American merchant
states that the entire effective force OF
Cubans does not amount to more than
fourteen hundred men. Regarding these
two statments, the Consul writes; "The
truth probably lies between the two ex~
tremes. | do not think the Cuban army
amounts to 25, 600 men, but it is certainly
more than fourteen hundred In
another part of his dispatch, Mr.
Plumb says: 'FrOm all that can be as
certained, there is not Cuban msn,
woman, or child on the island that does
not sympathize with the instruction
SEINE Of them are more open than others,
but they are all animated with a bitter
hate toward Spain. This is the most
hopeful sign of the Cuban cause, and i
the insurgents are able to hold out siz
months longer, Spain will be compelled
to abandon the attempt to subdue them

CURIOUS DETECrION OF q CRII
INAL. --------.---

Not long ago there occurred in Prussia
one of thoRe cases of detection of crime
by scientific means which interest q
large class Of readers. A quantity OF
gold, packed in boxes, was dispatched
by railway train. On arrival at its
destination it was discovered that the
gold had been stolen from some of the
boxes, which were filled with sand to
make up for the deficient weight. Meas
ures were at once taken for the discovery
of the thief, and that no chance might
be lost Professor Ehrenberg was req
auested to make microscopic examina-
ton Of the san,l The professor, who is
member of the Academy Of Sciences
at Berlin, well known for his researches
into minute objects and discomparisons
of volcanic dust from all parts of the
world, asked that quantity of sand
from every station by which the train
had passed should be sent to him.
Examining those one after another, he at
last came to sand which was identical
with that found in tho gold boxes. The
name of the station whence this sand
was collected was known; Inquiries
were set on foot at that station, and
among the persons there employed tn
thief was detected.

PRINCE LOUIS DE BOURBON.


The Protest OF Ex King Francis
Aeasnst the aorrfage efPrinee Louis
De Bourbon-Whaf Effect II VIII have
1.-The Prince Candidate for fhe
Spanish Throne.
The Courier des Esats Unis of the
Z instant, had an article concerning the
| protest which the ex-King Francis II,
who as chief Of the Neapolitan dynasty,
as also Of this branch Of the house OF
Bourbon, direct to his cousin german,
Prince Louis de Bourbon, residing at
present in the city Of New York, against
his marriage with the beautiful young
Cuban, Miss Hamel. Accompanying
this document, dated in the Farnese
Palace, Rome, March Z, of the present
year, are two acts. Of Kings Francis / ;,
April Z, 1893, aad ferdinand III :. March
~, 1886, referring to the penalties to
which they expose those princes Of the
royal family who contract matrimony
without special license of the royal
decree. With full knowledge Of these
royal dispositions, the young Prince
Louis de Bourbon contracted matrimeny
and he certainly regarded not the threats
against his civil and political rights
when he awaited not the consent of his
august cousin. On the other hand, the
DEGREES Of dethroned, receiving at pres
ent the hospitality of Rome, can affect
him but little; for his power and governs
ment being. suspended, the DEGREES
which he issues have no legal sanction.
Between this however, and what the
Courier des Eats URis publishes
respecting the marriage of Prince Louis
de Bourbon having been annulIed by
the Ex-King Of Naples there is great
difference. Neither the kings them>
selves, and much less ex kings, can
annul legal marriages such as that of
Prince Louis de Bourbon; and Francis
II, has not attempted it either. IL he
should again occupy his throne, he
might give himself the pleasure of not
recognizing the marriage Of Prince
Louis de Bourbon With Amelia Ham,
81 as his father Ferdinand IL.
did respecting the marriage of Charles
de Bourbon, Prince OF Capua, with
Penelope Smith, recognition which
would serve alone for civil or political
ends, but to annnl it would be impos-
sible that could never take place.
Prince Louis has been married in the
United States, according, to the esta>
blished laws, and the marriage must be |
legal in all parts Of the world. 1t is
said that the marriage viii be sanctioned |
rehgiously as soon as Prince Louis de
Bourbon will have completed four months i
residence in the United States, and in |
the Roman Catholic Apostolic rite. which |
Francis IL. so much reveres. 1t is as
signed, QaOd Deus conjanGit, homo
non SepGret.
Prince Louis de Bourbon, at present a
candidate for the throne of Spain, is /
liberal of the new school, who disdains
ancient prejudices. He has done what
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte did in chooss
ing the companion Of his life--he con-
suited alone the impulses Of his heart.
Louis Napoleon raised to the throne of
France beautiful young Spaniard, al
though not of royal lineage, Eugene
Montijot Louis dc Bourbon may posi-
sibly raise to the throne of Spain, the |

HORRIBLE DEATH.
Terrible Fate of Louisville Man.

Terrible Fate Of 81 Louisville Man.
The Cairo Eoening Bulletin publishes
the following account of the death of
John Humes, of Louisville, Kentucky,
who was killed on the steamer Stella at
that place few days ago
While the stern-wheel towboat Stella
was lying at our wharf, this morning,
John Humes, Of Louisville, Kentucky,
and another man, approached her stern
in skif, stopping at the wheel, by the
direction OF the mate, to attach a line to
one of the wheel arms. This job ac-
complished, Humes attempted to crawl
up between the pitman and the fanstail;
but, at the moment about half his body
had passed through, the wheel COM
menced revolution, the pitman Slow
but with giants strength, closing upon
| the body of the poor man, like the blade
of an immense pair of shears, crushing
flesh and bones as it closed upon him,
until the wheel caught upon the center,
and, Of course, stopped. In this ex>
cruciating and horrible condition Humes
was suspended, his hips and abdomen
pressed and crushed into space Of
three or four inches. With all his facul-
ties about him, the suffering man
screamed to the engineer to "back" and
relieve him not to go ahead, for the
worst had not yet been reached. But as
stated, the wheel had stopped upon the
center and could not be forced into q
backward revolution. In this situation
of affairs the only thing that could bt
done was dore. Steam was applied, The
wheel made its forward revolution, still
further crushing, mangliRg and grinding
the wretched sufferer, until complies
revolution lOosened the terrible grip o
the iron and timber upon his body, ant
let him drop into the river below. STU
living, the wounded man was picked u
by parties in a skiff, but by the time b
reached the boat death came and relieve,
him of his snlferings.

A few days ago Mr.. s. s. Neisbit,
while fishing trot line in the Tennes-
see river, some ten miles from Athens,
pulled to the surface one Of the greatest
curiosities we have ever heard of. He
states that in fishing the line, he came
to place were he thought the hook was
hung, but after considerable exertion he
succeeded in bringing il to the surface and
found that he had caught a very strange
fish, with head and face like baboon
or monkey, with the exception of the
nose, which resembled negroes nus
man neck and breast, arms about six
inches in length, and hands without
fingers, well proportional body, similar
to four year old negro; legs about two
feet long, with we'll shaped feet without
toes. 1t had shell on the back Of the
head and down the back. Mr.. Neisbit
says that he examined it critically for
five or six minutes, but was SO surprised
that he did not think Of securing it until
the hook was broken and the thing es~
caped.-Athens [ALG., Post Mdy Is.

The CreSasse--ExGensIye Damage.
New ORLEANS, May l7.-The crevasse
is becoming more isolated. The channel
is washed through TO HE depth of fifteen
feet and several hundred feet wide. The
new work is washed out as fast as it is
made. The distance atthis point from the
river TO the lake is but eight or tea miles.
Ii is supposed that the large number of
canals and bayous will carry off wafer
enough to prevent liz spreading over a
width of more than three or four miles.
Several Of the finest plantations in St.
Bernard parish are submerged. Reports
have been received OF danger to the legees
above the city. The river has only re-
coded couple Of inches from iis highest
point, and the levets AT several points
near the city were in a preearious c0ndi.
