cold water and mir, and evolves into II
vapor more powerful than steam, and
considerably more economical. It. lis

Serious trouble is brewing in Cuba Oh
account of tue non-paymcnt Of the royal
troops. Tho. Cardenas volunteers on
their return from the Colon campaign
demanded their pay and were refused.
The colonel of this regiment was Senior
Adriani, the Governor of}0afdehak, md
man of position and standing in the
community. When no money was forth
coming for the troops, the colonel was
hooted by his own men, and inhulted in
various other ways. The $4,000, 900
borrowed some time ago from the Spanish
bunk Mt Havana to pay the soldiers has
been expended Whether it MI went in
that direction or not, is. the point in dis
putc. 1t is, openly asserted in Havana
that portion Of the amount was ship
ped to Spain by Gen. Valnaseda. That
is likely. All tho Cnptain-Generals of
Cuba have become rich in Office. They
used to levy. contributions on the run
ncrs Of slaves into that island. When
this placer was exhausted, they plum
dcred the Government and people in
other ways. Since the present war has
been in progress, dividends have been
extracted from all public moneys that
passed through the hands of the officials.
This fact, too long unknown to the peo-
pie. is now in the possession of tho
soldiers, and hence they arc clamoring
for their pay. And recent events ut
Car,lenas look as if the volunteers were
about to enforce their rights in such /.
manner MS to make matters decidedly
uncomfortable.
A Washington letter says: The i'm
preston ut the Treasury Department is
that the indictments against II. j..
Claflin l. Co, for smuggling, will be sus-
tanned. Cases against other large i'm
portcrs are now being worked up, and it
is said at the department that the de-
velopments will be much more nstound-
ing than in the case of the whiskey ring
disclosures. Mr.. Claflin is one Of the
pillars of Plymouth Church, and it was
snid that he had expressed his willing
ness to contribute $1,000, 900 to defend
Bcecher. Notwithstanding his piety
and his high social and mercantile stand-
ing. the officers of the department claim
that they have proof that he has pur-
chased large quantities of smugglcd
silks and other goods.

SOUTH CAROLINA. Under the admins
tration of Governor Chamberlain, the
future of the State must be prosperous,
and tho people comparatively happy and
contented. Among his latest efforts at
reform. is to clean the Augean stables

--appointees of Scott and Moses and
he promises to work wonders. If VIC
