Riots in Cuba,

The steamship .Olivette recently arrived
from Key West, directly from Havana,
brings information that the Cuban dis
tnrbances were confined to riots in San
Cristobel, owing to differences arising
among the aldermen there relative to the
enforcement Of q city ordinance. The
mayor called out the military and the riot
was quelled after two men had been killed
and several others wounded. November

with the civil authorities, which so III
censed the latter that a riot ensued. One
officer and three men were killed and many
were wounded. The trouble still exists in
and around Mantanzas.

Gen. Lew Wallace's Military Scheme.

The forthcoming report of the board of
visitors to the West Point military acade-
my will contain a paper read by Gen. Lew
Wallace, in which h. suggests that the
system of military education in vogue at
West Point be extended to the whole army
Of the United States. lie recommends
that selections from 800 to 500 enlisted
men, according to their, standing at the end
Of the fourth year, be transferred to West
Point for final instruction through the
fifth year. His idea is that commission
be issued to those men according to their
standing at the completion of the final
year at West Point, and that all other
modes Of original appointment to the
army be abolished.

Disastrous Confagratlon at Lynn.
Lynn, Mass, the city of shoes, has been
visited by the greatest fire in its history,
and with two exceptions the cortiagration
is the most disastrous that ever visited
New England. The fire started about
noon ragged over eight hours, devastated a
square mile Of the business section of the
city, and caused a loss estimated at &c.,
Doc, 900. In fact the greater part of ward
four is wiped out, as regards the import
ant shoe manufacturing blocks and prom
inent places of business. The fire started
in Mowers wooden building on Almont
street. and soon communicated with the
six-story block known as Mowers block.
Almost simultaneously the four-story
wooden shoe factory of Bennett & Bar
nard, on Central avenue, and the four
story wooden building on Almont street
caught fire, and after a time a hurricane Of
flames was in progress.
Aid arrived from Boston, Salem, Mar
blehead and surrounding towns. After
the fire had been in progress two hours
everybody declared that it would not stop
until it reached the ocean. and such
proved to be the case. Four daily news
papers were burned out. There were many
narrow escapes from accidents. but no
fatalities are reported. The high brick
fire wall on the B. F. Spinney block served
as a barrier to further progress of the
flames up Union street, after that hand

Twelve Of the finest shoe blocks in the
city are in ruins, and about twenty-five
