New York special: A correspondent
of the Sun prints a terrible picture Of
the condition of things in Cuba. He
says General Marin, present captain
general Of Cuba, is simply a creature
and tool of Senior Balaguer, minister of
Ultramor, who is charged with the man
agement of Spain's colonial affairs.
With great flourish General Marin
entered upon the duty of eaptain-gen-
eral pro tenn, solemnly protesting that
he would put stop to the scandalous
thefts of government officials, lawless-
ness and brigandage that exists ram
pant throughout the island These
promises have not been kept in any
sense. Within the past month the fol-
lowing persons have been kidnapped
while enjoyed in their daily labors:
Jose Ruff, Antonio Alentendo, Angel
Menendez, Jose Sierra, Felipe Garria
Vigon, and n wealthy planter, Senior
Garlindez Aldama, who was Obliged TO
pay ransom Of 81, 900 in god. This
is only one months record "Can any
one name, asks the correspondent, "a
single bandit who has been Captured or
imprisoned since Marin assumed com
mand? Death stalks, grim and unop-
posed through the once Furnishing
island. Handcnffed and outraged by
her cruel masters, Cuba is fast sinking
into condition of utter lawlessness,
despair and ruin"

A Camp Meeting Sermon.

At tho Bruce Grove camp meeting of the
Seventh Day Adventists yesterday, Elder g. p
Rupert preached an impressive sermon, his
text being the fifth verse of the thirteenth
chapter of Second Corinthians: Examine your
own selves whether ye be in the faith; prove
your own selves" True Bible faith. he said, is
the rock or which to found genuine Christian
experience. There was great difference be-
tween the early Christians and those who lived
to-day. This difference, he thought, arose ont
of . lack Of faith. and lack OF faith was based
on . lack Of knowledge of Gods word. II
Christians understood what the Bible taught
and believed what was written they would be
able to bring forth the same kind of faith and
have the same Christian experience of those
who lived in the apostles days. Elder j. o.
Corlis occupied the pulpit in the evening choos-
ing AZ the text OF hio discourse Second Peter,
third chapter and fourteenth verse.

him that the houses would be used for resident
purposes, and not TO harbor the contract labor

the Full Extent of the Punishment.

Geo. W. Long, Guilty of Manslaughters Gets
the Full Extent Of the Punishment.
A few minutes after o'clock yesterday morn
ing, the jury that tried George W. Long for the
killing Of Henry Baker came into court with q
verdict of guilty. 1t carried with it q sentence
10 the penitentiary for twenty.one years This
was not a surprise to those who heard the evil
dsnce, and the prisoner himself seemed to be re-
ieved that the sentence had not been heavier.
The first vote of the jury was unanimous for
conviction, but there was difference Of opinion
as to what the punishm .nt should be. Six jurors
favored fixing the crime at murder In the second
degree, and the punishment at imprisonment for
lie. and the other half favored finding him
guilty Of granddaughter, and sentencing him for
twenty-one years, the limit for that ofense.
The jury stood that way until yesterday morn
ing. when those favoring the life sentence con-
sented to twenty-one years The attorneys for
the prisoner made no motions, but gave notice
that they would. in a day or two. make appiica-
ton for n new trial.
