ANOTHER EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION
Cespedes, the Cuban insurgent chief some
time since issued an emancipation proclama-
ton which we have already published. 1t
was more limited in its scope than one which
has recently emanated from branch of the
provisional government which has its head
quarters at Puerto Principe, or the central
department, The terms of the last proclama-
ton are as follows:
The institution of slavery, brought to Cuba
by the Spanish domination ought to be extin-
guished with it, The Assembly of Represen-
tatives of the Center, having in consideration
the principles of eternal justice, decree in the
name of liberty and of the people:
!. Slaveryis abolished.
g Opportunity will be Unidentified the mas
tiers Of those who till to-day were slaves
8. All those who by virtue of this decree are
freed will contribute with their efforts 10 the
independence of Cuba.
4. To this end, those who may be deemed
apt and necessary for the military service will
be mustered into our ranks, enjoying the
some fortunes and consideration as other SOL
diers of the Liberal army.
g. Those who cannot serve in the army will
continue during the war dedicated to the
same labor in which they are now engaged, in
order to sustain the productiveness of the land
and to contribute to the supply and support of
those who offer their blood for the common lib
erty This obligation belongs in the same
manner to all citizens who to-day are free,
whatever be their color or race, excepting those
Of the military service,
6. A special ordinance will prescribe the de-
tails of the fulfillment of this decree.
The proclamation is signed by the chief men
of the Assembly of the central department..

recently made In the two Islands
of the Greek Archipelago, called
respectively Santorin and Thera-

third, fern q sort of circular bay.
Their coasts present q series OF
cliffs, sometimes reaching to q
height Of 1900 feet. On the top
of these cliffs lies a band Of pun

From the summit the land slopes

iseverywhere covered with q coat

times more than 100 feet deep.
Here and there upon the slopes
are scattered populous villages.
There is, however, no soil but a
light friable pumice, the dust Of
which is raised and carried in ed
dies by every strong wind. This
pnmice, when daily mixed with
lime, produces a hard cement,
which has the quality Of great re-
sistance to the action Of the

for some time been exported, and

increased demand for It. In.
