NOT BRAVERR BUT BUTOHERP.
Cuban Cavalry Captain WIN,
Would Not Live Long in Som

A Cuban Cavalry Captain VINO
Would Not Live Long in Some
Places.
HAVANA, July Son June 23i, SaRua
paper announced that a commander Of
volunteer cavalry encountered party Of
30 called bandits, of whom he had killed
three, capturing some arms, and the
bravery OF the commander was noted,
with the additional fact that he was in
pursuit OF the rest OF the party. The
story which was probably the official re-
port OF he officer In question was copied
by all the papers.
II now appears from the statement made
by brother Of one Of the slain, that tile
whole affair was premeditated and cold
blooded murder, and that the "bAndits'
referred to were a party Of honorable
men. The narrator's brother, with others
of the jurisdiction of Colon, organized
with view 10 the pursuit OF Aguero, un
embarrassed by the methods OF the
regular troops. Their plan was sub.
mitted to aud approved by the captain
general, who gave them a written
authorization, while the chief Of the
civil Guard supplied them with arms.
Having commenced operations, three Of
them, gu the evening OF the 10Th ultimo,
reached farm near La Msoagua.
They had hardly arrived when a NUN.
Der Of men, under the orders Of the com
mander Of the volunteer cavalry, who
was operating in the vicinity, came to
the ta.m aud requested the three men to
go with them TO the commander, who re-
quired their services. They aooeded, but
hardly had they left the iarm when they
were disarmed, bound and shot, and their
bodies left where they fell until, at the
end OF three days, they were carried in
an ordinary cart to a neighboring village.
The guide whom the assassins i'm.
pressed to show them the way to the
farm witnessed all that occurred and
then made his escape, and is protected by
the mayor o. La Maosgna, who defies the
menaoes OF the cavalry captain. jealousy,
excited by the authority with which the
captain general had invested the
murdered men, is the suppose motive
of the crime, which shows to what dangers
the country ia exposed by the detective
organization Of tue Irregular troops
which the poverty OF the government
compels II to employ, poverty which
forbids the occupation OF the island by
an adequate force of the regular army.

The supper was spread in what is known as the Young Mems hall. In the Oriental bat, directly across the way, dancing and singing were induIged in. Messrs.

A Veteran Pastor.

The Rev. Paul Couch, so long the success ful and beloved pastor of the Road church at Mystic, preached deeply interesting New Year's discourse January $, in which he re- ferred tenderly and sffectionately to the many that had passed away during his ministry over the church and to his own advanced years (more than four score), and the probability that his labors in the Masters service must at best soon close. MT. Couch enters upon his ffty-sixth year of active service as preacher of the gospel and the twenty first as pastor of the Road church. Probably few such records can be found, and still fewer instances where pastor and people during so long ministry have been and are so entirely united.
