The Cuban lnsurrectiOnists in New
York.
Especial Telegram to the Globe

lSpeclal Telegram 10 the Globe.l
New YORK, Nov. 23.-Gen. Jose Maeeo
and Col. n. Castillo, the Cuban insurrec-
tionists, arrived at New York to-day from
Bordeaux. The former is fine looking mu-
latto, six feet tall and about forty-fye years
old, and is accompanied by his wife and six
teen year old son. Maceo surrendered his
command on May %, 1850, with the condi-
ton that he aud his soldiers were TO be al
lowed to leave Cuba in foreign vessel. They
sailed-six hundred of them-iu the Thomas
Brooks, an English merchant vessel, for ia
maica. Spanish gunboats overhauled her
and took them all off as prisoners again.
Maceo, Castillo aud Maj. Bonachea were
sent to the island of Majorca, in the Mediter-
ranean, where they were held on a ticket of
leave, being compelled to report every
morning to the governor of the city of
Palma. They each received 81 a month
from the Spanish government for living ex-
penses. One night early in 1882 they
secreted themselves on steamer
bound 10 Morocco and from Morocco
to Gibraltar. ''The law there is" Gen.
Maceo said tonight, THAT person cannot
stay more than tweuty-four hours without a
special permit. We had none, and, unable
to stay, We were compelled TO take refuge in
Spain. We were discovered, despite our
disguise, and were once more in the hands
of the Spaniards. Jas. O'Kelly, the member
of the British parliament from Roscomm mon.
caused inquiries to be made
into the this matter, and, through his
efforts, Mr.. Burke, the acting governo r
Of Gibraltar, who compelled us
to leave was dismissed. We were now taken
to Pampeluna, in northern Spain, where we
remained one year. We were again trans
ferred to Majorca by the influence OF the
British government, in the latter part of
1888. On the 9TH day Of October OF this year
Bonachea managed to escape 10 Barcelona,
in disguise,on board of steamer, and thence
made his way to Paris. Two days
later we found a similar opportunity aud
reached Agiers. We then went TO Bordeaux
The Spanish government tried to induce the
French government to give US up claiming
that we were common criminals, but the at
tempt was unsuccessful.
The two officers are the guests Of the
Cuban Revolutionary society OF this city.

The completion Of this splendid structure,
located at the corner Of Second and Jackson
streets is now an accomplished fact, and on
Monday night next the grand opening will
take place. Mankato, unlike some of her
sister cities. has never gone mad over roller
skating, and is not expected TO do so now,
but for all that there are great many people
here of all ages aud classes who are very
fond of this exhileratiug and ENJOYABLE
amusement, and who viii be heartily glad
that at last some suitable place can be found
in this city where they can crafty their taste
in this direction. Mrs. Bentley, who has
built and who owns the drink, viii remain
here TO see that the money which
she hes invested becomes pro
ductive and her presence viii be a sufficient
guarantee that the surroundings will be such
as viii not be prejudicial to the most re-
fined taste. The active management has
been placed in the hands of Mr.. W. L. Nc
Cracker as has been before announced, and
the bills for the opening night state that
''the management reserves the right 10 re-
fuse admission and the use of skates to any
Objectionable p rson." The building is a
magnificent one, has been well and thor
oughly built and will be comfortable IN the
coolest weather, having been sheeted and
papered inside. II will be heated by large
coal stoves along the audience side and 400
people can find comfortable seats when de-
sirous of witnessing the public exhibition.
The skating surface is 40xl30 and the floor
is grand one. II is laid with
the best kiln dried hard maple and cannot be
beaten anywhere. To prevent noise as well
as TO keep out the cold heavy sheeting paper
has been placed beneath the floor between
each ioist, leaving dead air space between
it and the floor. The Office, skate room aud
ladies' reception room are near the Jackson
street entrance and are very conveniently
arranged. A railing separates the skating
floor from the audience, and no one without
skates will be allowed upon the floor. The
attraction on Monday evening will be Miss
Nellie Fuller, the charming little lady who
has won the good will Of Mankato people on
several previous occasions and who will now
have an opportunity 10 exhibit her wonderful
skill upon rollers In a much more perfect
way than was possible at the old rink The
''Germania" has been engaged for the season
at tine rink.

A call at Eagle Lake few days since
found business quite brisk at that village.
wood coming in quite rapidly. The Cannon
Valley road is now within about one mile of
the village and their work train can be seen
busily engaged in crowding the iron TO the
front. The business men of Eagle Lake are
not remarkably enterprising, only one daily
paper being taken in their town. John Hag-
gard is a subscriber to the daily GLOBE and
has learned that Grover Cleveland has been
elected president, which il is fair to presume
some of his less enterprising neighbors are
still ignorant of, for Blaine and Logan flag

the fact that "This cruel war is over.
Eagle Lake is very pretty place, built as it
is in the midst of the timber and with the
pretty little lake so close at baud. The peo-

The new road will not be Of any practical
benefit 10 them as il is too far away. but II

be made at Mankato principally, and a new
town is not likely to be built at the cross

Bonded Whisky.
lspeeiaI Telegram TO the Globe. !

lSpetlA Ieiekram 10 the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Much Of the wind
has been taken out of the sails Of the whisky
men by the fact that the terrible results,
which it was predicted year ago would be
caused by failure TO extend the bonded pc
Rod, have not occurred. At the same time
men VINO are holding to whisky distilled in
1882, are unavoidablv in tight
place, and they win make as sturdy
an effort this year as they did last To
get congressional relief. In the meanwhile
they are trying to get what relief they can in
indirect ways. Congressman Phil Thompson
has been trying to get the commissioner to
consent TO allow distillers an indeterminate
period in which to export their spirits after
they have declared their intention of export
ing. Mr.. Thompson urges that after their
declaration Of expectation has been made
II is OF no consequence 10 the govern ment
that the expectation should occur on any par
ticular day, aud that the time now allowed
is not sufficient for shippers whose distiIler-
les are remote and inaccessible. The real
reason why this Is urged is that It would pro-
vide an extension OF the bonded period with
out limit and without an act OF
congress. The expectation notice is given
when the tax is due, three years after
distillation. II the distiller could select his
own time for export after making hisldecla-
ration and giving bond, he would secure an
indefinite extension. The time allowed for
expectation is about thirty days, but there is
no fixed limit, and If any distiller is so situ-
ated that with ordinary diligence he cannot
get his spirits out Of the country in thirty
days, more time would be allowed by the
commissioner OF internal revenue.

'fLa Traviata," Saturday night by the Alb
bot company, was genuine and delightful
surprise. Its beautiful music, stirring and
sympathetic story, aud the power of the cast
under the inspiration of this wonderful CON-
position, created an interest and evoked an
enthusiasm not often experienced. Abbott
Iang the principal arias with a finish and q
power surprising. The part of Yioletta is
one of the best she has yet done, and her
singing of Fors lu was first surprise which
passed into genuine enthusiasm. Taglia-

and acting the part as but few have done It.
Castle, too, surpassed himself, and the chorus

The artists were recalled after each act and
The magnificent chorus and finale of the

equal appreciation from the audience. A
genuine treat is in store for the St. Paul

New YORK, Nov. 23.-An American sailor
named Henry Stoddart, who arrived yester-
day from Rio Janeiro, tells the following re-
markable story: In 1877 he shipped before
the mast at Cardiff, England, on the ship
Cultiyator, bound for Callao. When in the
latitude Of Valparaiso be was confined in
irons by the captain for some act OF simple
insubordin alton, and on arrival at Callao
was taken before the Peruvian intendente.
Stoddart asserts that the captain
of the Cultivator paid the intendente $50 10
get him out of the way as be (Stoddard)
threatened to go before the counsel. The
Peruvian official incarcerated StodGard in the
Cosas Motas prison, where be remained for
nine months, Thence he was taken on
board the Peruvian iron clad La Indepen-
dencia, and upon his refusing 10 work, de-
claring himself an American citi-

afterward escaped from the iron, clad
but was retaken, logged with forty-hve
lashes, and again thrown into the Casas
Motas, where he remained until the reyos

secured his release in September last. Stod-
dard was born in Charleston, S. c.. and is
well educated. The hardships and priyation
