the two Americans and the two natur-
allied citizens of the United States-the
spaniards answered-also In writing-that
they intended TO abide By their decision as
to all the filibusterers caught In fagrantc.
AS TO US two In particular, they refused to
admit our claims to American citizenship,
because at the first Interrogation one OF rs
had declared himself German and the
other Russian citizen. The story of our
pretended naturalization was mere In
vention not confirmed by any documentary
proof.
The interference OF the oonsuls had only
one effect-it prompted the Spanish author
tiles TO hasten the execution. Through
some OF the guards. who allowed them
selves TO be bribed, we were In active CORE
spondence with our friends and we'll wish
ers outside. But there was nothing salts
factory to learn now.
Jessey went every day to the office OF the
commander for personal explanation, but
no good came of it. The Spaniards declared
that they would carry out the sentence or
the tribunal at Any cost and would shoot
oil the tilibusterers. without exception.
Still there is vague rumour reaches the
Americans that the consul does not yield,
that be has quarreled with the Spanish
authorities and has wired to New Orleans
requesting to have an irOnclad sent to him
Immediately. This gives them some hope.
But Will the military force be In time!
Our lives become an uninterrupted
anxiety. alternating between hope and de-
spair. We spend whole days at the WIN
dows. looking steadfastly on the sea. and
we ask each other q hundred times an hour,
'NOt come yeti"
Strangely enough, when our companions.
the Spanish sailors. get wind OF this inter
ference in our favor of the consul. they are
much shocked and indignant against us.
protesting that the authorities, If they are
patriotic and just. must not allow them
selves to be intimldated. and will shoot
all of us with perfect impartiality. As
If their own fate would be made easier
by 1t.
Bruno had still another hope-the last
one; he communicated to me that the Ger.
man consul had decided. with Jessey's ap-
probation, upon an energetic Joint remon:
STRANGE in our favor. Now he only wanted
to know whether we wished for it or not.
The proposal frightened rather than elated
me. explained to Bruno that we must
stick TO something fixed; if we were nat
uralized Americans we had lost all claim
to the protection of our own countries. but
that II we were once again GormanS-ln
that case the Spaniards would have an
other opportunity of pointing to our want
OF veracity.
Suppose the remonstrance of the Ger
man consul TO be UNDECIDED. no military
strength being at hand to support himw-I

is not very sanguine himself IS to the posi-
bic result of his interference. The
American displays. at least. much energy,
and will defend his two countrymen with
all his might and main. and IT the two
Americans are saved. we shall probably es-
cape likewise"
We therefore resolved to stick to Jessey.

Round the still sleeper ever wavering.

And just the reverse OF wise, little birdf
Aren't you little too previous, dearl
The ways of our spring times are devious. dear,
The weather Is various
And food is precariOus,
And the cold just a little too grievous, dear.
Don't put too much trust in the vernal my love-
Spring Ia not as yet, superDal, my love,

While March winds are bitter,
Is out of the order eternal my love.
You're as welcome to us as the roses, my dear,
Tho you seem as waif-like as Moses. my dear.
May the shine out brightly,
And the zephyrs blow lightly,
Before you have frozen your toes-es, my dear.

And dripping from its sweetened caves,

tried 10 replace the attraction with a con-
cert from some organization of like
orchestral character and ability, but found
that it was impossible.
1t is with great pleasure, however that
we are able to announce the substitution
in place OF the concert by the MeudellsOhn
Quiniette club, of a concert by the Original
Swedish Quartette of Boston. This famous
organization of male voices, has, during
reputation, and is today conceded to be
pre-eminently at the head of similar or
CARNATIONS. This attraction is of equal
grade aud ability with the Mendellshon
Quintet:e club, and costs our society the
same amount of money.
The quartstte is now making its first
tour i'll Kansas. and we feel fortunate in
being able to substitute with so eminent
an attraction. and fully believe it will give
better satisfaction to the greater part of
our patrons than the concert originally en-
gagged.
The Swedish Qusrtette will appear at
the First Presbyterian church, on Satur-
day evening, Dec. 30th. Remember that
the tickets originally issued in the course
