NEW YORK, July 29-The Tribune has the
following:
An interesting letter has come to light. A
Spanish gentleman went out to Cuba several
months ago TO claim an inheritance that had
been left him. He saws that at Nuevitas he
emily shot. They passed near him with firm
step, with heads erect and with look Of brave
determination. Arrived at the fatal spot they
seated themselves upon the fatal bench already
voice of the officer who gave the word to fire,
cried out, aHurrah for Cuba; hurrah for Ces-
pedes" Alter they had fallen the volunteers
stuck bayonets into their bodies.
At Gibara he saw group of armed men
marching toward a house of modest appear
ance. Wishing to see what was to be done be
followed the soldiers, who arriving before the
door halted. while three of the party entered.
The latter cried out at this moment "Here is
the lnsurrectol Here is the Manbi" s'What
do you wish? ?" said young man. If it is j
whom ycu search for I am at your service but
do not frighten my father and mother" With
out ceremony the volunteers seized the speak
er, and beating him along before them with
the butts of their muskets until they got close
to the cemetery, then run him through with at
least twenty bay0nets.
From Santiago de Cuba comes news Of q
thousand atrocities committed by the infamous
Francisco Percy, to whom. q governor in that
part OF the island had intrusted the direction
OF matters In Guanatanam0 and Baracoa.
This bad man, wanting in every sentiment Of
humanity and every moral principle, had been
robbing and assaulting every Cuban who was
believed to be liberal. Whole families in the
viciHity of Guantanamo had been murdered
by this bandit. Young and old persons had
been butchered by his knife, and his compan-
ions, not satisfied with the villainies commit
ted here, passed on to Baracoa, where, aided
by few other assassins, they went from house
to house. Hundreds of persons were in thi,
way murdered, and with the full consent and
knowledge of the authorities.

LONDON, July 29.-The Times to-day has am
article on the Chinese question in the United
States. 1t thinks the conflict Of races in Cali
fornia cannot be solved by heavy duties on
immigration, or by street outrages. 1t ia i'm
possible to suppose that the Chinese can be
kept out of America. Inheriting an ancient
civilization and perfect economic methods, but
destitute Of the strength and toughness of NOR
al fibre which supports authority, the Chinese
may be welcomed as assistants in colonization,
and not feared as race likely to dominate in
the future.
In the House of Commons Tonight, Mr.. OF
way, Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs, in
reply TO an inquiry from Mr.. Sheridan for in
formation, said the present condition of the re-
lations between England and Mexico prevent
ed Her Majesty's Government from officially
aiding the holders OF Mexican bonds in the
prosecution of their claims, but owing to the
Importance of the subject it would be glad TO
hear OF any satisfactory arrangement for set
tlement.

The undersigned has perfected arrangements for
fitting spectacles to the eye, according to the meth
cd pursued by the best Oculsts in this country and
In Europe. This method is based upon examIn-
alton and test of the eye, such as Is entirely
known in the ordinary fitting Of glasses-and which
an oculist only is qualified to make.
Glasses fitted in this way will not only give the
greatest assistance to the eye, but will prevent pain
In using, and will best preserve the sight. Ii deter

eye. ~ ssat ~ iu isIsia lAi itna
The rapid failure Of sight which many persons ex-
peieuce after they begin to use glasses demonstrates
how incompetent they are to fit their own eyes
