FROM CUBA.

HAVANA, Nov. 25.-The .Diayo de
Lamar has an editorial to-day, Of
which the following is an extract:
"The Washington Government
knows to-day and the United States
Congress will soon know, from the
justice with which the Spanish au.
thorities have acted, that they will
take care of the National honor with
out suffering themselves to be influ-
enced by the cries Of the masseA who
know not what these Cuban patriots
are. Far from our minds be the feel
ing of arrogance. Farther still the feel
ing of fear from our hearts. We
neither seek nor shun peril. If the
Americans oblige us to fight, fight we
will. If the mother country will aid
US, will thank her, but if we must con-
tend alone, there are enough Span
iarda in Cuba to keep our banner safe.
We will sell very dearly that which
was once the most brilliant flower of
the crown of Castillo"

A most touching instance of heroism,
and one of the most atrocious acts OF
cruelty, the truth Of which is vouched
for by the most respectable authority,
occurred during the Columbia struggle
for independence.
The spanish General Morillo, the
most bloodthirsty aud treacherous tool
OF the Spanish King, was created
Count of Cartagena and Marquis de la
Pueria for services which rather emit.
tie him to the name of butcher or
hangman.
While seated IN his tent one day he
saw a young boy before him drowned
in tears. The chief demanded of him
for what purpose he was there.
The child replied that he had come
to beg the life of his father, then a
prisoner in Morillo's camp.
What can You do to save your
father!' asked the General.
II can do but little. but what | can
shall be done
Morillo seized the little fellows ear,
AT d said:
Would you suffer your ear to be
taken OFT 10 procure Your fathers
lne?'
"The boy wept, hut did not resist
while the barbarons order was execu-
ted.
Would you lose your other car
rather than fail Of yonr purpose Z" was
the next question.
81 have suffered much. but for my
father can suffer STILL" was the an
swer of the boy.
"And now go !" exclaimed Morillo,
untouched by his sublime courage /:
"the father of such son must de-
La the presence Of his agonized and
vainly-snffering son. the patriot father
was executed.
Never did life picture exhibit such
truthful lights and shades in national
character; such deep, treacherous vii
lainy-such lofty, enthusiastic hero.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24.-The
steamer Zepka brought to Hong Kong
the news of the seizure of the Maria
Louise and Gazelle, by Spanish man
of-war, OF 500 Loo. The vessels were
brought to Manila. The crew of the
Gazelle were liberated. The Captain
and supercargo of the Maria Louise
escaped. The Spaniards declare they
VIII treat them as spies if caught out
side Of their respective Consnlates.-
The supercargo claims the protection
of the British Consul, and the Captain
claims that of the German Consul.
The Captain says the ships were ia
ken sixteen miles of 500 Loo; that the
blockade would extend only nina
miles, and that the Spaniards had not
declared any blockade.

Senator Casserly, of California, is in
hot water. The charge has been
formerly made, and by the regular
Democratic Central Committee OF
San Francisco. that Casserly and his
friends paid 100000 in gold coin to
procure his election to the United
States Senate. A San Francisco paper
calling attention to the fact that Gen.
eral Volncy E. Howard, of sscra.
mento is in that city, asks him to ex.
plain to the public what he knows
about Casserly, and says that while
Casserly is not clamoring for the in.
formation, the public desires it. The
fact that Casserly is Democratic
Senator in high standing in his party
should not prevent an investigation
of his case being made at Washington
during the forthcoming Congress.

Chicago Rive stock Markets.

The official receipts OF Live Stock
for the week ending Saturday even

l0,340; hogs. lS4, SIT sheep, 4,674.
The receipts since Saturday, were
Cattle, 1900; hogs, $4,000 sheep, $50.
CATTLE.--There was nothing doing
in this trade to-day, the market ruling
dull and lifeless, The receipts were
only moderately large, but still, as
there was no demand from any source,
the supply was excessive. Eastern adj
vices quote the markets in very un-
favorable condition, and shippers are
Indifferent about buying, prefering to
remain idle rather than to buy with
such poor prospects of their invest
ments proving rcmunerative Some
parties who had shipped their cattle
expecting to realize better prices than
the figures now current were sending
their cattle back to the country, and
taken altogether the market was in
decidedly unsatis factory condition
For stock cattle there was no demand
whatever. The local inquiry was re-
stricted, owing to the overstocked con-
dition of the retail markets. Prices
for all grades of cattle were weak and
nominal at the following.

pect in the way of arrivals this week,

Operators and dealers generally differ
widely in their estimates, although it
is generally conceded that, should
prices remain as firm, the receipts will
be very large. The weather to-day
was unfavorable for the handling Of
! stock, and packers expected, with the
| large receipts, to be able to obtain
lower prices. Sellers, however, were
| not disposed to grant any concessions,
and the reported sales were fully up
to Saturdays prices. Packers paid
$3.75@4 for common to choice grades,
chiefly at 1886 and 1895. Shippers
were not buying very freely, sales be.
ing made at 50 90@4 10 for common to
extra lots. The market closed steady at
the above range.-Inter-Ocean 25th
