There is perhaps more truth than

newspapers to keep up the town"

The Providence, R. l., Journal no
tiees the item going the newspaper
rounds to the effect that Senator
Sprague has settled a large amount
of property upon his wife since the
Sprague failure. The Journal pro.
nounces the story false, and says not
a dollar has been diverted from the
Senator's estate for the benefit of his
wife or children.
Ex-President johnson has tack
led Judge Advocate .Holt's article
published in the Washington Chron-
icze in August last in regard to the
execution of Mrs. Surratt as one of
asssssins of President Lincoln. He
seem to have the best of the argu-
ment, but then as the juror said
when the plaintiffs lawyer spoke he
thought the defendant guilty sure
enough but when the defendants
counsel had argued the case, he was
just as sure the defendant was inno-
cent, only that he could not tell which
lawyer told the truth.

ty of thirty who fred upon them,
and killed the doctor and two. 9th
ers, wounding the fourth, who escap-
ed and reused the sheriff, who went |
with posse and recovered the dead

A Washington correspondent
in a letter to New York makes
the President say that he had
read that so Cuban insurgents cap.
tured As prisoners of war had been
shot on the field, and while the re-
port lacks confirmation he was pre-
pared to hear of its confirmation az
ter what had already occurred in Gu.
ba. He was satisfied that the Span
ish Government did not and would
not approve of such butchery. 1t
was matter, however, which an en-
lightened government couldnot over
look. If indeed this method of war
fare was necessary to the support of
the Spanish Republic, individually
he could not wish such government
prosperity. If the Spanish people,
in their effort to establish a repuDli-
can form of government, could not
control their authorities in Cuba,
then, in the interest of humanity, he
thought it time TO interfere, not to
encourage the struggling Cubans,
nor embarrass the Spanish Republic
in any way, but wholly in the in
terest of civilization and humanity. a
