Facts About the Cuban Revolution.

The present movement for the liberation OF

General Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, declared
tor the independence of the island. In lees than
six months II has spread until ii now embraces
an area of 20, ,G00 out OF the 80, 600 square miles
included in the whole island. Within these
limits there are l47 cities, towns, and villages
of which more than onehall are in the hands
of the revOluiioDists.
Out of the 100 600 men able to bear arms on
the whole island, As 600 are in the ranks OF

BALTIMORE, March 31.-In the City Council
yesterday proposition was made and laid over
for consideration to sell two thousand shares OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad stock, owned
by Baltimore city, at $I.25 per share. the pro-
ceeds to be converted into city bonds and in
dorsements. The ostensible design of the move
ment is to supply the means to complete the
Western Maryland Railroad 10 Hagerstown and
the Potomac river at Williamsport aud finally
to the Allegheny coal fields. II this finally
passes, the bonds and preferred mortgage of the
Western Maryland Company will surely advance
from the present price, forty per cent, to at
least eighty or ninety. 1t is fully believed the
measure will pass, or som ething like it.
II is now understood positively that General
Grant has determined 10 give ex Mayor Chap

MAD.
Terrible Death OF q Man Bitten by
Rabid Dog.

We have to record, says the Frankfort (Ky.)
Commonwealth of March 26, one OF the most
unusual and startling fatalities that has ever
occurred in our city, In the dea b OF John ID.
Sargent citizen OF Frankfort, from hydropho'
bia. This melancholy event tIanspiret on
Sunday night last, when, after twenty-four
hours OF untold suffering, MIR. Sargent passed
away from earth.
eome two months ago a small dog followed
Mr. Sargent from the street into his store, aud
seemed to recognize him virtually as its master,
Mr.. Sargent one day ted 1t with small piece of
meat, which 1t had no sooner swallowed than it
caught his hard at the base Of the thumb,
piercing the flesh with its small keen teeth. He
took it off. paying no other attention to the
wound, which rapidly healed. The dog died
few days after.
On Saturday evening last Mr.. Sargent felt
pam in his hand, IN the vicinity of the old
wound. The pain gradually extended TO the
fingers and crept up the arm into the body.
The arm and hand became numb incapacitatng
him from his usual use OF those members. The
numbness and nervousness increasing, he sum.
moned q physician, who, after o careful eXami-
nation, could not at first decide upon the naFnre
OF his disease, but suspected so ne disease OF
the brain. The intervention of nervous spasms,
| accompanied with the most narrowing symp.
| toms. gave TO his disease q friehtful cast. By
accident, on the presentation OF water to ailay
| bls thirst the true character OF his maady was
developed in the aeoniziug spasms that imme,
| diately racked and tortured his physical frame.
| He could not endure the sight even OF
| water or its mention. His spasms were brief in
| duration, but OF the most fearful character,
causing his eyes to dilate, aud his whole ap-
pearance 10 assume "A character 30 irghttul that
I it battles all description. The slightest impact
upon his body caused conyulsions, his nervous
organism being wrought up to its highest ten
sion. The strength of several persons was
necessary to ho.d him In position during his
spasms. He did not seek 10 inflict harm on
any one, but was entirely conscious up to the
| hour OF his death, giving instructions concern
ing his business, and delivering parting mes
sages to his family and friends. During Sunday
he was visited by many citizens and the ply.
sicians, who offered all the aid possible for his
effort on Sunday morning, the construction OF
| his throat causing him 10 refuse anything else.
Thus, amid suferings beyond description or
| comparison, exceeding anything ever witnessed
| In the entire history OF the medical men that
ministeIed at his bedside, and appalling to every
| appreoiative sense, he fingered TIL almost nine
O'Clock en- Sunday night, when death relieved
| him from further pain.
