AFFAIRS IN CUBA.
More Rebels and More Spanish Troops
but Havana Doesn't Care.

Special Correspondence to the Assoc
ciated Press.
Havana, March SO.-At the theater
last Wednesday night Governor Cen
eral Calico informed a civil official
who was one of the party that 800 men
had been freshly added TO the rebel
forces IN central and eastern Cuba.
The next evening an evening paper OF
the city issued an extra edition about
o'clock. II announced that the Span
ish ministry at Madrid had been well
informed that the rebel general. Ma
Geo, whom the Alliancia was charged
with putting ashore. had positively
reached Cuban soil, and that the sit
uation was serious. II was also stated
that 5000 Spanish troops would sail for
Cuba during April. There seems TO be
a chronological connection between the

Some five or six years ago Mir. and Nrs. Alexander Graham Bell. of Wash- ington, D. C., were making a pleasure Sour along the coast, in company with Mrs. Bells parents, Mir. and Mrs. Gard uer Hubbard, when the rugged cliffs. she bright skies and the great oine-elad forests of Baddeck bay caught their attention. Upon a towering crag over looking the water, which here has the shunderous rise and fall Of the Bay of Euudav. they built a cottage. Every summer since has found them in resi- aence, and for q few years past Mir. and Mrs. George Kennan have been their neighbors. and have joined shem in the work they found to their hand.
 It was carpets that first interested Mrs. Bell. When she came 10 know the women about her, she found many

 Conspicuous among those who, through the courtesy of 1Ir. Bell and Mr Kennan have been invited to lecture before the Worlxincman's club at Baadeeis, may be mentioned Prof Langley, of the Smithsonian institute as Washington; Mai Powell, of the geological sur vcJs; NJ. tilave. the emi- nent African explorer. and others of equal note, drawn thither through fancy in idle wanderings.
 During a recent conversation with Mrs. Kcnnan she spoke enthusiastic cally of Mrs. Bells wonderful in ifioll and quick appreciation of asituation.

In her desire to be of use, she praised their bright hued carpets. handwoven from gay weols, and bought SO many of them that she and her friends and her friends friends had more than they could walk on in. two or three life times To develop this carpet-making industry. to find B. market for the products and thus to supply an occupation that should keep the older girls at home, instead of see ing them driven to the New England towns for living, became with her an absorbing consideration.
 One of Mrs. Bells first practical steps was to start school for the little ones too young for field tasks. With the help of Mrs. George Kennan. classes were formed. somewhat after the kin dergarten model. and soon wee tots and their bigger sisters, the ages running as high as sixteen, were trudgin9 ten

 Soap, water. towels and clean white aprons played a leading part in the opening exercises after the long tramp to school \ simple luncheon served on the balcony or under the trees was the uext feature of the proceedings. Then came class work with books and fingers. Knitting was favorite occupation, and. remembering the great revival of the lace industry among the Irish peas antry, Mrs. Bell determined to intro duce the same thing into her little col ony. With this plan in view, she tried te get teachers. offering salaries from her own purse, as well as the expenses of the voyage But nobody could be found to settle among the fisherfolk of Cape Breton.
 Still undaunted, Mrs. Bell got pat serns and teachers from Boston and be-

 Tn full sympathy with his wife's eff forts, Mir. Bell has instituted the Work inurnen's club among the men in his enploy-the farmers and sheep herders on his immense ranches at Beinn Breagh. Gradually it enlarged it's scope until at present it's membership is over a hundred. Mir. Bell presides at it's weekly meetings, and while at first his presence appeared to cast damper over his companions, whose modesty prevented their taking an active part in the discussions or the reading of original papers, yet in the long run his active cooperation has held a warmer sympathy beeween the landowner and his employees.
 As Mrs. Bell has been greatly strengthened in her efforts for good through the generous help of Mrs. Ken nan and other women of the summer colony, as also has Mr. Kennan proved tower of strength to Mir. Bell.

employment at home, these, one by one, have gone to look for places in the larger cities of the east, and paid teachers have been engaged from Boston. Tie seeming inapossibility of making a living at home has been Mrs. Bells greatest discourage lnent. as no sooner are tho children trained in Iace-malxing and various kinds of needleworlx, with the view of educating the younger ones in their turn. and by degrees creating a per mauent industry, than necessity com pels their departure. In this way each year the number of workers decreases. Boston is the usual objective point of those who leave home to make their fortunes, but at least two-thirds of the wanderers return after a year or so, broken in health, many to die of con- sumption Accustomed to the free open air of the mountain region the Cape Breton folk are unable to endure sedentary life in climate less suited to their constitutions. This is by far the saddest feature of the lack of home industries. and has caused Mrs. Bell to rcdouble her efforts 10 make flle spot q self-supporting community.

fore long the class in lace-InaISing was in full swing. So rapid was the prog ress Of the Cape Breton girls that be- fore long the fineness and beauty of the designs more than equalled the original samples. Mrs. Bells efforts throughout were ably seconded by Mrs. Kennan and the sale of Cape Breton lace was pushed until to-day the sup ply more than meets tue demand. This was a not altogether unexpected check. but not the less diseouraging. So long as the duty remains as at present, there is sInal prospect of lace making proving profitable as a means of liveli- hood.
