HAVANA, August 21.-Advices to
the I'd instant from San Domingo
state that on the morning of July
29th the emissaries of the govern
ment discovered the hiding place of
Generals Ramon Pierce and Julio
Thias and three wounded officers be-
longing to the party of General AL
vonese. On the afternoon of the
same day all were shot in the Gem :
etery of San Domingo City. Not
withstanding an intercession of the
diplomatic corps and the ecclesiastical
body. There was an immense crowd
present to witness the execution
from the fortress walls. On the I'd
of August the diplomatic corps again
asked in vain for portion of nine
more of the adherants of Alverese,
who had been condemned to be shot,
and three of the number were shot
on that day. 1t is reported from
San Cristovale, that twenty eight
men landed with Ex-President Gull
lermo, on the eastern coast of San
Domingo, and that the troops were
sent to capture them. The Spaniards
in San Domingo are fearing the in
suits because Guillermo had started
from Pontico wishing their govern~
ment to send war steamer for their
protection. The fact is, that Gener-
al superior has the Spaniards, while
Guillermo favors them.

seems, came out best One of the white

No Change in the Atkin House

The rumor which the Chattanooga Times
heard to the effect that the Atkin House is
to be taken in charge and run by the rail
road authorities, is wholly without founda-
ton, as we are permitted to say authorita-
lively. Messrs. Wiley q Bro. have the
house leased, and have no thought of giving
it up, and they are running it quite satisfac-
torily to the travelling public, and
successfully. The rumor perhaps
grew out of the fact that Col E. W. Cole,
president of the E. T., " q G. Railroad
has purchased the interest of Mr. T. H.
Galloway in the house. We understand that
! some Improvements are to be made also, at
an early date perhaps. The wooden wing
extending along Depot street, west, is to be
torn away and replaced by a brick building,

Manitoba.

The Manitoba Lake, which has givsn
name to the province formed out Of the
Red river region, is called after small
island whence, In the stiffness of the night,
issue strangely sweet, mysterious sounds.
The Ojibway Indians, who dwell in that
neighborhood, believe the island to be the
home of Manitoba, the speaking god, and
will not land on or approach it for any con-
sideration thinking they would desecrate
or profans it, and that they would meet
with some terrible fate for their lmpiety.
The sound is caused, as it has been ascer-
tanned, by the beating Of the waves on the
large pebbles along the shore. These,
with fragments Of fine grained, compact
limestone from the cliffs above, are rubbed
together by the action OF the water, and
give out tone like that of distant church
bells. This natural music il heard when
the wind blows from the north, and as IL
subsidies, low, plaintive notes resembling
notes of an invisible choir are heard. 1t
has been compared to the chant OF the nuns
at the TrinitA de Monti in Rome, with
which all travellers are familiar. The
effect Is impressive. Tourists have been
awakened at night in the vicinity under
the impression that chimes of bells were
ringing afar of, and that their tones are
rlppling over tho lake. The mystic bells
OF Manitoba have acquired such reputation
that travellers are Lot satisfied until they
are heard, and often spend days there
waiting Tor the blowing Of The north wind.
The Ojibways nave number OF poetic
legends about their speaking god, Whom
they profoundly revere.
