NEW YORK, February 1.-The Cubans
of this city have received by mail the
particulars of the capture and execu-
ton of Colonel MontaneT, a Spanish
commander. The colonel was, with
six hundred men, conveying a train
which was attacked, captured and
Montaner and his troops dispersed. He
was marched to- the headquarters of
General Gomez, who at once ordered
him to prepare for death, and soon
afterwards he was shot. Montaner
was recognized as especially severe to
Cuban prisoners. News has been also
received of the shooting of Spanish
soldiers captured near Puerto Principe.

addresses OF the evening; but the truth
Is, so many spoke that, in the hurry of
writing, we could not recall all of
them. To be entirely frank, we were

From Our Special Correspondence
SUNDAYS ABROAD.


II was pleasant Sabbath in January
that entered u Protestant church in

proach to Sabbath school. The chill
dren were all assembled and occupied

classes with teachers, but each division
was presided over by n woman, who
walked up and down the aisle keeping
general order. scanned the faces be-
fore me, children from six to fifteen
years of age, but, to my eye, in APP
pearance very unlike such an assem-
blage of American children. There
were no really Observation-Disclosures,
ana but few with traces OF beauty. The
general expression was one of apathy,
indifference and sleepiness, few
seemed to have vitality enough to get
into mischief. AZ last the minister, In
II long black robe, entered, an organ,
somewhere out of sight, played vol
untary. Tho minister then lined n

back TO the reality of the present. The
chilareh now arose and the minister
read chapter and prayed. Another
hymn followed, and then the creed
was repeated in concert, all standing,
ana then the minister began II sort OF
general talk to the children, some
times asking questions and calling on
some one, whose hand was raised MS
an indication of ability, to rise and
answer.
After the close of this exercise. the
children went forward to deposit their
