HAVANA, May IA decree has been
issued, declaring the claims by foreign
ers residing on the island for exemption
from extraordinary contributions found
ed on error. All foreigners under the
protection Of the Government must pay
like Spanish subjects. Contributions
imposed in this island cannot be said to
be for war purposes, and the punish
ment Of incendiaries, mostly negroes, is
no act Of war. Municipalities, therefore,
must proceed against foreigners who re-
fuse to pay said tax.
This proclamation is said to be directed
against Germans, who claim exemption
on account of the treaty between Spain
and Germany.

have appeared in the Jurisdiction Of

On Easter eve, says Max Adeler, as Des-
con Horne came home from class meeting,
for the children, and so he stepped in at the
gre Gerry store and procured half a dozen.
which he placed IN the pockets OF his coat
tail. The deacon is an absent-miuded man,
and by the time he reached home he had for
gotten ell about toe eggs, so they remained
In his pockets. He wore the coat TO church
next day, and sat on three OF the eggs during
a large portion of the service without being
aware OF the situation. Just befo,e the snI
mon he had TO take up the collection, AID ne
started down the aisle To do 50. As he hand
ed the box 10 old Mrs. Coffin he thought he
saw bug crawling on her bonnet, and while
she was getting her money ready he put his
hand In his coat tail pocket 10 act hts hand
kerchief 10 brush 1t of. AS his hand de-
sceDded, Mrs. Coffin observed a look OF an
guish steal across his face, AMI, as she
thought he was angry because she hadn't
given enough, she exclaimed out loud:
give. I'll give just what please and you
won't haveit
This made the deacon so nervous that he
lost his presence of mind, and pulling out
bis hand, which was covered with broken
she'll and had five yellow strings dangling
rom IL, he tried TO brush that bug from Mrs.
Collins bonnet with IL. As soon as she
caught glimpse OF the bedaubed hand, she
rose up In her pew, brandished her umbrella
under the deacon's nose, aud shrieked:
"Gway from here! G'way from here this
instant! If you put that nasty stun on me.
Mr.. Horne, I'll knock the breath outen you
with this umbrella. G'way, tell you!"
The deacon felt ready to faint, and he
from falling. Noticing the smear made by
his hand, he dropped the box and held on
with the other hand. Then 1t occurred 10 him
that he must pick up the box, and he did so,
collecting the scattered money with his
egged hand, and getting into an awful condi-
ton. Then the broken eggs began 10 ooze
through his pocket, and he stood there I'm the
aisle with q thin, yellow string dripping
from each coat-tail, until Brother Smith
suggested that he was spelling the carpet;
darted for the front door, taking with him
the money box, and confirming old Mrs. Cof-
nn's suspicious that he intended from the
6rst to rob the church as soon as he got a
chance. She was about TO stand MP and cry
''Stop thiefi" when Miss Coffin explained the
matter TO her and she subsidized. The deacon
hasn't been TO church since Easter. He is
getting his Sunday coat cleaned and his feel
fngs soothed.
