Col. Lopez Queralta arrived in this
city a few days ago, after eight months
active service in the Cuban army. The
Colonel was In command when Las Tu-
mas was captured. on the 2sd of Septem-
Der last, when, for the first and onIv
time, as he AYERS, The Cubans retaIiated
upon the Spaniards the many atrocities
the latter had practiced upon them.
This retaliation, Col. Queralta said
yesterday, was the act If an individual.
A Cuban lieutenant, whose wife and
little daughter had been outraged by
the Spaniards a few days before, had
charge Of LOG OF the captured garrison of
Las Tunas. Acting on his own response
bility, he ordered them to be slain.
Their heads were cut off with the ma
chete. The lieutenant was oourt-mar-
tailed and cashiered.
Col. Queralta says that the patriots
are confident Of ultimate success, and
that not single one despairs Of the re-
public. They are, nevertheless, fight
ing against fearful odds. They have
only $4,000 men under arms to oppose to
the $4,000 Spanish regulars and 10000
volunteers. The lack of arms is their
great drawback. There are two or three

material for an army of $4,000 men, il
they could get muskets and ammuni-
ton.
The colonel estimated the loss of the
insurgents during the nine years Of the
war at 3O,OO0 The $4,000 new. Spanish
troops that were to have ended the war
have failed to make even their presence
perceptible. They are mostly boys,
some Of whom are under IL, and are
easily demoralized by q march OF any
length.
Although not soldier of the patriot
army has been paid, nor has wanted
pay, for the entire nine years of the
war, there are camp followers, who, as
soon as a man falls in an engagement,
rush forward to strive for his rifle and
take his place in the ranks.
The Colonel summarized the situation
with the declaration that while the
Spaniards hold the coast. the entire
oentro Of tho island is in the. hands OF
the patriots.

WANTED, A WIFE FOR ALFONzO.
The Claims of several Young Ladies. ia
this Honor

The Spaniards continue to be much
exercised in purely speculative en-
deavors to find q suitable consort for
their sovereign. Some wish him to
marry the Princess Blanche Of Nemours.
others the Princess Clotilde Stsphanie
of Belgium a third party urge the de-
sirabiiitv of a union with the House Of,
Hohenzollern. A good many are sworn
Of England, and glibly suggest that
Gibraltar might form part OF her Royal
Highness's dowry. The last matri-
monial alliance actually concluded be-
tween the royal houses Of England and
Spainl was that of Mary with
Philip II, which procured the swo SOW
ereigns the most imposing collection OF
Joint titles which had yet been seen in
Christendom, seeing that they were both, ,
"by the grace OF God King and Queen
of England, Fran ce, Spain, Naples, Jeru-
salem, and Ireland, Defenders OF the
Faith, Prince, and Prin cess Of Sicily. and
Archduke a,id Archduchess Of Austria,
Duke and duchess of Milan. Burgundy,
and Brab ant" etc. /; and on the whole
the come ,ction seems to have given more
satisfact ion to Philip than to the English
people,, for on Mary's death he was ready
aud ding to become the husband OF
Eliza. beth, while the English had had
emo agh of Spanish marriages to last
them for three centuries. A majority

On Wednesday evening BoucicauIt's

always proved drawing card, and is
perhaps, one OF the most successful
productions OF this prolific writer.
Every preparation has been made to
present this piecSin a manner which in
every respect will provoke the COM

In addition to the entire company,
the management have secured the ser
vices OF the Tenn essee Jubilee Singers
IN order to give g. proper reals tic effect
to the plantation scenes and the slave
mart. During the performan ce they
will give several of their best so ngs and
choruses, typical Of life in the s outh in
the olden time.
AS the action of the play occurs in
this State, end the scenes dept cted are
familiar to many OF our citizens, it pos
sesses an interest, outside OF its merits,
as picture Of the hopes. fears and pas.
sions that sway the human heart.
A full house will doubtless greet its
first represe ntatibn, and we trust that
the efforts Of THESE gentlemen may re-
ceive the recognition they SO justly de-
serve.

OF platforms says Bro. Cassidy !:

We recall a time in the history of this State
when the respective Central Committees de
layed calling their State Conventions until
only about three weeks remained IN which to
make the canvass, and all for the purpose OF
getting the last say on the Chinese question
or some other local issue. We. have also
known undue haste on the part of those same
bodies in order to get the first say on questions
of fancied Importance. The man or officer
who allows obligations thus imposed to weigh
one straw against his sworn convictions OF
right is demagogue pure and SIMPLE
That platforms are bait to catch gudgeons,
-s'sprinoes to trap woodcocks that is the
idea Or, it may be stated, That the party,
like a circus-company, hangs out impossible
promises and hints of purpose imposing upon
its nominees the censure Of performance.
Laws which are dead-letter are worse than
no statutes at all; for they bring disrespect
upon the entire framework of the law. So
with the wordy professions exacted of partisan
candidates, by the terms of such platforms as
are made and provided by act of political con
ventions. No man has any right to make
public promise which he intends to break.
A Politician lie is as bad as anybody else's
lie 1t is preposterous to hold to any other
view. But while the convention system lasts,
We shall have platforms; and honest minded
candidates will make professions they cannot
keep This is SO because the gift of preset
ence being denied to mortal man i'll the char
acter of delegate to a convention, he cannot
stipulate for the future and meet its emergen
cies in advance. The utter absurdity, and
unlawfulness, indeed of ''plank' may be
manifest to the subjects of its terms; and
then it must be disregarded. 1t becomes IN
valid by the very conditions of its own inhe
rent faultiness and inapplicability. The way
out of these embarrassments is in avoiding
them at the outset. Platforms are as easy as
lying Those who make them are easily
tempted with rhetoric and the making of
many loose promises They are of a like ma
ture to the vice of legislation by organic act:
Only such Constitutions as that of Nevada
happen to be binding in their obsolete inutll
tiles quite as much as in their more operative
and salutary parts. The better way is to
make fewer professions by Platforms. Men
fit for public Office should neither be COM
PEELED to give bonds nor promises. Their
constitutional oath should be ample.

CARR ACT. PINNEY.

The following which We clip from The
Morning Call seems a succinct and under
standable account of the actual relations be
tween William B. Carr and George NJ. Pinney
reporter of the Call called on William
b. Carr yesterday to learn from him the
progress and present condition of the Pinney
campaign. He was evidently in good hui
NOR, and not at all unwilling to be inferno
gated, though he said he was SO busy he
would ask that as little time be occupied as
possible.
Reporter What is the condition Of the
Pinney war at this time
Mr.. Carr. Well, you newspaper folks
have given pretty full reports of the criminal
charges that have been made against Pinney
He stands committed to jail on the two in
dictments which were found against him
before his return. Then he was committed
on two charges of forgery on which he has
been examined by Judge Louderback, and
held to bail for $4,000. He is also under
examination for enlightenment, the bail
being $50, 900. Then there are about twenty
complaints against him for conspiracy and
obtaining money under false pretences on
each of which he is held to bail in s., 900
Then to-day he is charged with forgery again,
on two complaints.
OTHER CHARGES IN PROSPECT.
Rep.-Are other charges to be made againt
him?
Mr.. C.-1es. After a good deal of trouble
we have finally had a chance to see many of
the false naval pay certificates which he
borrowed money from the banks Certificates
in his handwriting which we have now seen
reach about $500, O0G, nearly all of which are
forgeries. OF course he will have to answer
for all these.
Rep-Well, what else!
Mr.. Gle will have to answer for perjury.
Rep.-But why punish him on all these
things
Mr.. CT do not see why a criminal should
not be punished for all his crimes The law
does not give him any such immunity
Besides, his perjuries are as bad as his
forgeries, and as in furious By forgeries he
captured hundreds of thousands from the
banks, and by his perjuries he tries to commit
further robbery and also to blacken various
men.
MONEY MATTERS.
Rep.-Well, how stands his struggle with
you on the money question
Mr.. Cone of the people who had iudc- |
ment against him for debt, had him examined |
as to his property. l also was called as a |
witness. You made some report of that, but |
as it went through six days you could only |
give part.
Rep.-We found it very difficult to decide
what to leave out Have you time to give
me a brief summary of what that testimony
was?
Mr.. CT will do the best | can; but
shall have to make it short, | can give you the
important points.
Reporter. do so.
Mr.. Carr.-Pinney swore that from the
latter part of 1873 until he left in September,
1875, he was in the habit of turning over to
me sums of money, and that when he went
away he left in my hands 1920, 900 gold coin.
besides $4,000 for an interest in Kern
county lands, a deed for land in Oregon, and
{, O24 shares of Coos Bay coal stock, and that
| was to pay all his debts to the banks and
give him 500, 900 in coin, all within year.
