Of and around tho Malone dwelling. To
those within It was quicklyeyiIent that
mob Of some kind WAS close at hand,
whose purpoIs, judging from tbs angry

The decisive battle Of General Ma.

sought TO complete the victory his party

Tue Democrats. in complete control OF
tho state government and its election
machinery, had no hesitation in saying
that by fair means or foul Malone

old southern warrior fought back as
best he could. The campaign cAmo to
close in mutual recriminaIions and
threatened violence. There was grave
apprehension on all Iides as TO what
election day might bring forth, and
there was interest in the result
throughout the east and south.

More bitter hatred never fell to the
lot Of any man to endure than fell TO
Malone after his change oil political
faith. Into his business and social life
this bitterness pursued him; there was
scarcely al hour Of his lite that he was
not made to feel it As Cato hated the
Carthagiuians and the English Napo-
leon |, so did the ruling class OF Vir.
GINA hate Malone. It was one against
many, aud the one made a gallant
tignt-but the many won q. last The
one made n fight such as got for him in
the days OF the rebellion lieutenant
generals commission under tue contSd-
eracy. He asked no quarter and he
gave none. He never complained aud
he never unduly exalted. He died as
grim and deiAn. as he had livsd-bro.
ken in fortune aud haraaSsd by those
who had once been his soldiers aud
friends. In his pride aud Eslf.eontroi
none but his closest intimates knew OF
his feelings.

CHICAGO, Oct. IA special from
Tampa. Fla. says: 1.-Two things are
certain" says a New Yorker. on his
way home from a prolonged stay in
Cuba, hooking after extensive interests
in the interior. "One is that we are
going to have trouble with Spain about
complications arising from the Cuban
question; the other that Cuba will be
free whether the United States recog-
Mics her or not
THIS gentleman could not allow his
name to be used because his property
IN Cuba would be confiscated, and he
would be thrown into prison were he
TO return to the island.
ST heard a high official in Havana
say he continued. that if the Ameri-
cans do not mind we will parade the
Spanish troops in Central park. New
York. before we are through. I heard
it said in a we'll known cafe in Havana
that after the rebellion is suppressed
the United States will be attended to,
and it was hoped Cleveland could be
caught and hanged.
"It is openly declared in the cafes
Silat if Uncle Sam recognizes Cuba
that the Americans must get out of
the island. By Christmas there will
be 10000 Spanish soldiers on the is
land Of Cuba Why should Spain mo-
billie so many troops if they are not
needed 70 suppress the revolution?
The Cuban patriots are sadly in
need of arms and ammunition. One
day band Of forty passed my plan
tation with only ten guns and they
were the cheaper kind Of bird guards
The rest Of the party were armed with
alachetes without guns. They load
their guns with bits Of barbed wire
taken from fences and with nails

GROWING SERIOUS.
Suggestions as TO the Rest Plan to
Pureue.

buBB0SI1OAS US 10 hCSI Ihh ~
Pursue.
NEW YORK, Oct IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
There is discussion in political cir
Giles here over the possibility that all
the Pan-Amerdcan countries may in the
future act jointly in the recognition
of the belligerency Of the Cuban insur-
gents.
Pan-American representatives here
have been anxiously waiting to see
what Secretary Olney will do and the
suggestion has been informally to the
department that It would be a good
plan for the United States and all
South and Central American countries
to act in concert either as to the rec
ignition Of the insurgents or as to the
independence of Cuba whenever the
proper time arrives.
II has already been reported that
Mexico and Venezuela have declined
TO grant belligerent rights. If this be
the case the representatives. of the re-
spectiVe countries in this city have
not been advised of il.
1t is admitted by those concerned,
however, that the insurgents must
make greater Roadway before it will be
entirely safe for the United States or
any other republic to recognize them.
The proposition for joint action is
based upon the possibility Of insurgent
victory in engagements which are like
" soon to occur.
