The Cuba Question.

1t would seem that the seizure of the
steamer CUBA" by the United States
authorities is about to lead to important
results in deciding the position of this
country in regard to the Cuban Revolu-
ton. The United States has been playing
fast and loose with this question in man
ner disgraceful to the Government. What,
with the clustering threats of Minister
Sickles, the known sympathy of the admin
istration with the struggling Cubans, the
convenient ignorance of Government Off
Gals to the fitting ont of Cuban war ships
in American ports on the one hand, and
the complication of the Alabama claims
upon the other, the Government finds it.

A Texas Tragedy.
An Insane Man Murders his Father, his
Child, and a Clergyman.

The Waco (Texas) Register relates the
following sad tragedy:
"'On last Tuesday night q week James
McCarty, Jr., in o fit of insanity, MUIR
dered his own father, his own little son
(six or seven years of age), and neighbor,
the Rev. Henry Hurley. All tho parties
arc residents.of Erath county.
"Ihe circumstances, as we gather the
borrid details, were these: For some
months, at different times, James McCarty
had shown signs of mental ALTERATION. -
On the day previous to the dreadful oc-
currence McCarty expressed the wish to
his wife to be baptized right away by the
Rev. Mr.. Hurley. He soon left his home,
Oh Duf1itu creek, and proceeded up the
creek several miles to where his father,
James McCarty, Sr.. lived. He told his
father his intentions of being baptized by
Mr.. Hurley, but his father persuaded him
to remain where he was, and he would go
after Mr.. Hurley, who lived several miles
off The son agreed to this, but when, in
the evening the father returned with Mr..
Hurley it was found that the son had gone
back home.
1.-The father and MIR. Hurley followed to
the residence of the insane man. Bedtime
came and all retired for the night, MIR.
McCarty, ST., and Mr.. Hurley occupying
the same bed in q separate room. In the
night the wife of McCarty, Jr., was arous-
ed by her husband, who demanded light,
and was looking for his eix-shooter. Mrs.
McCarty was alarmed, escaped the house,
and screamed, but too late. The insane
man had made ready his pistol, entered
the room where his father and Mr.. Hurley
were sleeping, and shot both in the head,
az is supposed before they awoke. He
then called his little son and babe him sit
down on the door step, and remain quiet
until he returned. The father then went
to the creek, little distance off and got a
rock, Returning with this he ordered the
child to lean over and lay his head upon a
block near which the child was sitting
The innocent child obeyed, when the
father, with one blow from the rock, mash
ed out lis brains.
Games McCarty, Jr, is not far from
thirty-five years of age, has always borne
an irreproachable character for industry,
sobriety, integrity and was universally e.

both old and prominent citizens of Erath,
aged and gray-haired men. They were
both universally esteemed and respected.
