1t is evident that a reign of blood, mas
sacre and debauchery is in store for the
unhappy island
Only official news is allowed to 60 over
the wires to the foreign press. but the Ha-
vana newspapers print long detailed &C
counts of affairs that sane and civilized
readers in other parts of the world would
be unwilling to believe true of the actions
of barbarians. In the midst of all this 1t
is pleasure to read of the humane treat
ment accorded prisoners by the rebels in
the extreme eastern end of Cuba. In the
Sierra Maestro mountain districts, where
the insurgents are in complete control,
the prisoners captured are sent to the
higher plateaus and there put to work

Masso, a rebel chief, who disappeared
some weeks ago, and concerning whose
whereabouts the public knew nothing, sud-
denly reappeared yesterday on the border
between Las Villas and Camaguey with a
force of men, fresh well armed and with
dark blue uniforms. The authorities be-
lieVe he has been to Mexico or the United
States and organized the expedition which

One of the Spanish men-of-war expected
to arrive in Havana today will unload 40
tons of torpedoeS, to be used in the harborS

Wednesday, and hereafter all vessels, naval
or merchant, of whatever nation, must re-
main outside the entrance at a distance Of
two miles, until signaled to enter and no
vessel will be allowed to enter this port by

This action is undoubtedly taken because
of the reported presence in Cuban waters

navy, with an insurgert warship. a Brit

LIGHTED by FIRE BALLS.
Repairs by the Light Furnished By q
Storm.


From the Philadelphia Record.
One of the most remarkable electrical
storms at sea, which probably seemed in
tensiied by reason of the fact that cargo
of Spanish iron ore passed through it. was
experienced by the British steamship Mer-
cedes which arrived at this port yesterday
from Bilbao. On the Grand Banks of New
foundland during the nights of December
and the ocean appeared like a mighty
mass of flames or an endless stretch of
prairie fires. Balls Of electric fire Missed and
exploded in all directions and darted among
the vessels masts and rigging.
The Mercedes escape from going down on
December seemed little short of a oracle.
She was struck by south-southwest gale.
which was accompanied by seas rolling fear

a hugh deck derrick, weighing many tons.
was torn loose from its fastenings and
swept overheard leaving a hole in the YES
sells deck. through which the water ran
into the cargo. In its course 1t carried
away the main topmast, which was also Of
ircn; part of the flying bridge, the after
winch. and part Of the deck fittings. The
decks were flooded with tons Of water. the
ship rolled at an angle of seventy degrees,
and the sea broke in all directions, filling the
cabin and the officers quarters.
Soon afterward the storm partially SUBJ
sided, when the electrical fire appeared in
all directions. 1t hung in big balls for two
nights from the mastS and fore and aft
stays, and practically turned night into day.
AS the big fire balls came together they
would burst with a loud report upon the
vessel and disappear. Under this light at
night such temporary repairs were made as
were deemed necessary to reach port.
Captain TAFT of the Mercedes stated that
the passage was one of the most trying ex-
periences of his life. The rolling and lurch-
ing of the vessel in the storm and the fury
of the gales were terrific in the vicinity of

From the New York Herald.
One who has an idea that the all-blacS
stocking is the only sort sold in quantities
should walk into any prominent store and
look over the variegated and diversified
hues that are woven into the latest impor-
tatons of womens hosiery, and he would
change his opinion. From France and Ger
many there comes a rainbow assortment
that follows out all the leading modes in
materials approved by fashion.
Thus the plaid family is naturally out in
force and such admlNtureS as mark every
known clan and dozens of comminglings
that would not be recognized in Scotland
but which eminently delightful to the
color-loVing eye, appear in the giant stock
of this line alone. Then there are squares
and diamonds in two and sometimes three
color!ngs, all of which are guaranteed to
retain their pristine shades throughout the
trying ordeal of the laundry. Thus black

maize are woven together. forming a strik-

HOLIDAYS FOR THE POOR.
What Lady Jeune and Her Colleagues
Are Doing in London.

What Lady Jeune and Her Colleagues
Are Doing in London.
From the Ladies' Pictorial.
At the approach of holiday season an ap-
peal on behalf of poor wee folks has been
made from Lady Jeune and her fellow
members Of the Children's Happy Evenings
Association, and surely will not be made in
vain to those who have little ones of their
own or who love to see and romp with the
kappy-faced. joyous baby girls and boys of
their acquaintance. The aim of this asso-
citation ought to be we'll known by this
time, and one almost marvels that there
should be need to beg again and again for
money and helpers to carry on it's work.
They do not spend great sums in carry
ing out their work; shilling will give a
little waif one happy evening every week
throughout the winter, an evening Of
warmth and healthy play, with bright
music, buns and fairy stories, picture books,
toys and shelter from cutting cold and
lings-and it must be remembered that at
least 5000 children have to be amused
and cared for during the coming winter
the committee need the active help of both
men and women.
once a fortnight an hour or two can be
easily spared by girls with abundant
leisure, and surely there are plenty of
brothers, too who can show magic Ian
terms and do conjuring tricks. and help in
other ways to make time fly on these
happy evenings" in the slums. 1t is a
huge mistake for people to imagine that
these poor, ragged, under-fsd ltrchins only
want to romp and drag their entertainers to
pieces.
To many of them the happiness Of these
evenings consists in sitting quite still in the
warmth while some one tells them the old
nursery legends, of which they have never
before heard, or in playing with real toys
never before seen. They cannot play by
themselves. for, incredible as it seems
their baby lips have never learned the old
jngles and songs, their baby fingers have
never been trained to handle toys, nor their
eyes to enjoy the picture books. These
infants about whom heaven should lie, as
Wordsworth tells us, must actually be
taught how to play, and If no one will offer
to amuse them, the committee are power
less to continue their good work.

ArizOnn's Stone Forests.

Ffom INC CIHc1hHlt1 CUl1HItrcIa1 Gazette.
The regions of the Little Colorado river
in Arizona abound in wonderful vegeta BILE
petrifications-whole forests being found
in some places which are hard as flint, but
which look as If but recently stripped Of
their foliage. Some of these stone trees are
standing just natural as life, while
others are piled across each other just like
the fallen monarchs or a real W God forest
Biologists say that these stone trees were
once covered to the depth of 1000 feet
with mari, which transformed them from
wood to solid rock. The mari, after the
lapse of ages, washed out, leaving some of
the trees standing In an upright position.
The majority of them, however, are piled
helter-skelter in all directions, thousands
of cords being sometimes piled up on an
acre of ground.

ished which a while ago existed of either
internal insurrection or of flibuster inva-
sion. AS long, at any rate. as the govern
ment shows such strength there does not
seem to be the slightest probability of any
further attempt of the royalists to Or
ganize for it's overthrow. They are believ-
ed to be, and evidently are. totally discour-
aged. and the bitterness formerly expressed
is mostly abated. AS to filibusters, It is
practically impossible that any individual
or association Of capitalists should risk
their money so readily as to supply the
not less than 100000 which would be re-
+. quired to equip and land here a force Of
not less than 800 good fighters That would
be the smallest possible number that could
hope to make the slightest impression upon
the military strength which would meet
them. And such a force before landing
would be exposed to almost certain arrest
as pirates by United States warship on
this station.
Probable Release for All.
The increased sense of political security
thus prevailing has favored a disposition
among the supporters Of the government
to advocate the release Of all the political
prisoners. A petition to have all such per-
sons released on Thanksgiving day was
circulated by ex-Marshal c. d. Wilson, AMI
obtained the signatures Of a large majority
of leading supporters of the government.
The executive already had II. view the re-
lease of about one-half Of the thirteen po-
nt1Cal prisoners sun nelI III confinement,
and seven were set at liberty on the day
proposed. Five of those released were ua-
tives. one of them Thomas Poole. whose
pistol shot was believed to have slain the
lamented Charles L. Carter. The two
whites were Rikard and 7. Il. Walker.
Both of these men had large families, who
were in considerable want. and both isd
for some time evinced friendly ceiling to-
ward the government, and regret for their
action against it. All the seven took the
oath for the government. the day they came
out.
Rikard was one of the four chief con-
spirators. and personally assisted in land
ing arms. Walker had made and filled the
dynamite bombs. Gulick AMI Seward, still
in prison, had evinced no change in feeling.
They were of the four chiefs with Now

have similarly continued hostile in disposi-

and John Wise. The latter not long ago
enjoyed three years at Oberlin College, and
superiority to all white men. Bowler was

ton. Wilcox is the notorious professional
insurgent. Just at the last moment these
prisoners all signed a petition for lelease.
in which they expressed regret for their
course. The government regarded such a
profession as needing more conflrma tor.
and the men remain as they are. 1t is not
improbable that before very long The len
lent disposition of the executive may be
manifested toward them.

BarbarOus Warfare.

During the past few days the barbarity
which ma nifested itself at the breaking
out of hostilites, but which for several
months past had not been prominent,
seemed to make its temperance in all
parts of the island, and the most shocking
details of murders, tortures and unspeak-
able crimes are given In the public press
and discussed by the people on the streets.
These barbarities are practiced by both
sides, and there is not the slightest at
tempt made to punish the perpetrators.
Indeed, on the Spanish side the most cruel
and blood-thirsty officer Is decorated, and
in the rebel ranks the lowest and foulest
villain of a chief is rewarded by promo
ton.

officers on either side are responsible for

A volume of "reminiscences of
Spurgeon, the celebrated English
pulpit orator, contains the follow
ing anecdote:
One day a visitor called at
Nightingale lane with a request
that he might be allowed to see
Mr.. Spurgeon at once on urgent
business. He was told that an in
terview could not be had just
then, but persistently prevailed.
On entering the study the stranger
closed the door, stood with his
back to it and began: What's
this you've been telling the people
at the tabernacle about me|
"Why, nothing, my friend"
ooh, yes, you have, and I've
come to have 1t out with you. l
am not going to have this sort OF
thing" Seeing that the man was
stout and strong aud that he car
ried a stick like himself, MIR.
Spurgeon adopted Il soothing,
matter Of fact, reasoning tone:

stranger to me. / don't think l
ever saw you before, and GER
tainly l don't know you. If L

said the man, 81 suppose you
can't;" and then, after a pause,
asked: Have you a brother?'
Yes" "Is he much like your

came furious burst: "No, it
wasn't your brother; it was YOU
and | mean to settle the matter.
Do YOU know that have been In
an asylum?" Have you2 L am
sorry 10 hear that" yes; and
when | was there l was so strong
that it took ten men to hold me.
The man began to flourish h s
stick, and, making threatening adj
yances, from which there seemed
no possibility of escape, then
asked: "Are you strong" This
was the preachers opportunity,
and power of will over brute
strength at once asserted itself:
Yes, am terrifcally" What!
as strong as ten mem Mr.,
Spurgeon sprung to his feet and
assuming tragic tone, shout d;
Eyes, Pm stronger than hundred

man trembIed with fear, turned
to the door, threw it aside and
rushed down the stairs, out
through the doorway and along
the road as if pursued by furlgs'
leaving his stick behind AS u
memento of his visit.
