The unsettled state of affairs in Cuba is
rather on the increase. The St. THome
Tidsnde says-
"In the Times of the 9th instant i was
reported that by adyices from Havana, the
Captain General had pFocIaime a state of
siege throughout the entire island, and had
ordered the mobilization OF a portion of
the Volunteers and the enrolment of all
citizens between the ages of 20 and As Tor
the CONSUMPTION. On receipt of this news
which was on the gath instant, we were
assured on good authority, that the state
of siege was raised, in consequence where
of we RETAINED from publishing or aIluding
to the circumstance, but this morning (the
2Sth Feb.) via Jamaica, we have later
dates, and we learn that in Havana, Mar
tial Law has been proclaimed and that
1000 Volunteers have taken possession of
the city, compelling the Captain General
to take refuge on board the Spanish war
ship "AraPiIes." No person is allowed to
leave the city"

The MiSSisslDDi LeyccS.

The committee of LouisiaDians who
arc in Washington to urge Congress to
assist i'll tho reconstruction of the
levees of the Mississippi, have made
the following statement to show the
condition of affairs in their state: The
levees of Louisiana are more than 1000
miles in length, and contain about
$4,000, 900 of cubic yards of earth. On
the Mississippi river, within Louisiana,
there arc $50 miles of levecs, contain
ing nearly 10000, 600 Of cubic yards,
and the natural wear and tear, includ-
in the winds and rains and caving
banks, nccessitate the building of at
least 100000 of cubic yards Of en-
bankmcnt each year, even when no
crevasscs occur. From the excessive
flood of this year, many of these levees
were washed away, and it will require
about 8, ,OOO, 600 of cubic yards to close
the open places and repair the low
grade levees. Besides q number of
large ones, there are many small crev-
asses, and works needed on the Atcha-
falaya, Lafourche, Ouachita and Red
rivers, which will exhaust the whole re.
sources of the state without touching
one of the aforementioned works, and
it is for these large levees that the gov.
ernment aid is sought.

Saratoga i'm 1859.

Tho Saratogian prints the narrative
of Mrs. Dwight's visit to Saratoga in
1889, in an interesting series of articles
compiled by William l.. Stone. We clip
the following:
At Troy, where We took tea, there
were only dozen houses, the place hav-
ing been settled only three years before
by people from Killingworth, Say
brook, and other towns in Connecticut.
Lansingburgh was an older and con-
siderable town, containing more than a
hundred houses, and inhabited princi-
pally by cnigrants from the same state.
The tavern was very good one, but
the Inhabitants were SO hospitable to
our party, that the time was spent al
most entirely in private houses. After
delay of two nights and day we pro-
ceetled OIL our journey. Crossing the
Hudson to Waterford by ferry, VIC
went back as far as tho Mohawk to sec
the Collocs falls, Of which VIC had fine
vicw from tho northern bank, riding
along the brow of the precipice in going
and returning. On the road to the
Mohawk We met party of some of the
most respectable citizens Of Albany
among whom was ths Patroon Van lsens.
selaer-in y common country wagon
without a cover, with straw under their
feet, and with wooden chairs for seats.
Two gentlemen ON horseback, in thci1
company, finding that we were going to
Saratoga, offered to accompany us t.
tho scene of the battle Of Bemus
Heights, and thither wc proceeded aftc,
visiting CUllOes. On rcachinr th.
springs at Saratoga, we found but three
habitations, and those but poor loe
houses on the high bank of the meadow
where is now the eastern side of tllt
ridge near the eastern rock. This VII.
the only spring then visited. The log
cabins were almost full of strangers
among whom were several ladies' ant
gentlemen from Albany, and VIC founi
it almost impossible to obtain accom-
motlations even for two nights.

Marshal Bazaine's Prison Life.

Marshal Bazaine's Prison Life.
Marshal Bazaine, contrary to what is
generally thought, is undergoing real
and severe detention. H. is confined
within the fort, and has but the terrace
ON which to take his walks. The rest
Of the island is forbidden ground ia
him. He has no garden at his disposal
as has been reported, with the excep.
tion Of few trees and flowers on the
terrace. Madame Bazaine is with him.
She may leave the fort when she
pleascs, says the London Times, somay
M. Bazaine's aide.de-camp, but they
need q special permission from the
Minister Of the Interior, to re-enter the
fort. Hence Madame Bazaine stays as
long in the prison as possible. The
view is extensive only from the terrace,
whence the open sea may be discovered.
There is not sufficient fresh water il
he island, and small boat which
crves to communicate with the coast
brings over the quantity necessary.
The cx- Marshal at first suffered great
deal from this scarcity of water. He
was obliged to reduce his baths in order
to water the flowers on the terrace.
Hence the aide-de-camp had to go to
Paris to ask that more abundant sup.
ply OF fresh water might be brought
from the mainland. a request which was
at once granted, to the great joy of the
prisoner. Bazaine leads very uniform
life and seems resigned to his lot. He
reads much, works all the morning, is
taciturn, and avoids as much as possible
showing himself.
