count of the Spanish outrages we're not
bad enough, comes the news from neu-
tral sources that The grave of General
Cdstanon, for violating which those
eight Cuban student boys of Hayaha
were SO brutally shot down, was not
uiolated at all! that no indecent verses
were seribOled upon the marble, that
nothing on G. around the grave has
ever been disturbed that, in fact,
these poor boys were slaughtered by
the fiendish volunteers without even the
poor excuse that they tried to palm off
on the world This news, if true will
produce a great effect in the United
States. 1t is safe to say that one
month ago, the average feeling in the
United States regarding "the Cuban
question" might be expressed in some
such formula as this: Things are rath-
er bad in Cuba; our sympathies are
decidedly with the Cubans and against
the Spaniar1s; but it is not our fune-
raj, let them fight it out themselves ;
we don't want the island nor TO get in
to fuss about it that will be as ex-
pensive as it will be useless" Since
those poor student buys were so terribly
punished for a comparatively trivial
crime, however, American feeling has
materially changed, and the formula
that would express its present state
would read about thus: ave don't
care about interfering in Cuba, but i
those volunteers will prove themselves
wild beasts intead of men, we don't
care if our government should get in
to war with Spain" But now if il
shall certainly appear that those eigh,
boys were not guilty even of the crime
imputed TO them by their muTderers
the feeling of sympathy aud indigna
tion in this country, already warn
enough to make the outrage the theme
of conversation between man anc
man, in the streets of all our cities
not excepting Pittsburgh, will rise t.
a white heat. Our people will theI
aUish that the government iroutd get in
to war with Spain, in order that the.
might have chance TO chastise thos
brutal scoundrels Of the Ever Faithfi
Isle; our young men will commere
to pant for the fray and dream of rs
ing volunteer companies for the "r-
my of Cuba" Even our vete.ns,
who have hung up their Sprine,hdsh
with half vow never to taKehep
down again, in any cause, will ~
old ardor steal through thei've ,
and discuss the best plan of enPfn
to capture the Island. We r.

Near that hour karted to spouting

rate. I 1t sent {olumn into the air,

sight yas witJessed by Mr.. Francis of
Coluyhia, ana another gentleman, who
wentto the we'll. The seed bag and
sediAent which had been for years
accunulating in the we'll were thrown
out. 1t continued flowing in this way
only a short time and then subsidized,
but when our informant left the spot,
the oil was bubbling up out of the hole
and running to waste, he judged, at the
rate of hundred barrels per day. A

distance from this old one, and there
is also fifty barrel well on same

situated above the old Maple Shade
we'll. This would seem to indicate
that the Egbert farm is again destined
