New YORK, March ga special
dispatch to the World from Allan
ia, Ga, says: "a gentleman at
Montesa, Cuba, whose reliability as
business man is above question,
has written the following on the
Cuban question:
"For three years the planters,
hitherto so loyal, have been put to
severe test. Owing to the free
sugar clause in the Mckinley bill,
there was great boom in the
sugar industry Of Cuba. The plan
tiers not only largely increased
their capacity but inve sted to the
extent OF many millions in new
mills and machinery. Then, like
crash, came the announced policy
Of the United States to cripple the
very market upon which Cuba had
built her hopes. Spain Numbered
in clumsy forms of retaliation, in
stead Of having at heart the inter-
ests OF those who had been 80 true
heretofore.
LAST November the planters of
Cuba held meeting in Havana at
which they adopted piteous ap-
peal to the home government.
Captain General Gallo promised to
forward it with personal endorse.
ment. 1t is doubtful if he ever did
so, but, be that as it may, the next
thing those planters heard of in
January was an intimation that
further meetings for any purpose
whatever would be displeasing to
the government. Thus deprived
of even the right of petition, the
planters have been brooding at
their homes, giving quiet aid and
support to the rebels. / have been
through considerable part of the
Island. Every where men are row.
ing around in small groups, avoid
ing the military, but keeping them
in constant pursuit, while the
planters, non.committant, remain
just quiet enough to prevent con-
fiscatiOn. AS soon as the troops
leave any given point, it swarms
again with the open advocates of
revolution. The harmony between
the planters and the disconnected
element is plain to be seen, as is
the fact that their leaders have
superior means Of Information.
There is really no we'll formed
attempt at mobilization as yet.
The purpose of the rebels is to
keep in small bands, to attract as
little attention as possible and to
avoid conflicts with the troops.
This plan Of having the whole
Island camp without any point
Of strategy for the Spaniards to at
tack, it is believed, will weary out
the Spaniards and by lengthening
the period Of the disturbances
will attract outside aid after
a while. There is no respite,
but every Spanish garrison on the
the Island is rushed out on a wild
goose chase after an enemy that
dissolves into nothingness and
escapes"

DAN BASH's AWFUL EXPERIENCE.
"That was a mighty close CALL" said
Hank Dawson, as he viewed the man all
Pine County was interested in now
"You look mighty bad"
"Had nothing to eat?" the detective
asked.
"Once only"
"Well, this won't hurt ye a mite, said
Hank, handing Dan piece of bread and
O. biscuit made by Club. He also gave
him piece of cold meat.
"That's Clubs biscuit, Dan."
Dan only smiled and whispered some
thing to Club that nobody could hear.
"Think you can sit on horse, Dan?
don't see no other way to get you out
of this lonesome hole. It's about the
ornariest place 1 ever set eyes on. l

He had willing hands to hep him.
While Club and her father were making
their way home with Dan Bash care

three or four assistants in carrying OIL

SKINNED THE DOCTOR ALIVE
A Scotch Missionary Relates an Incident Of
Chinese Barbarity.

A Scotch missionary named Young writ
ing from Tien-Tsin, mentions the fact that
the Red Cro,s Socety's steamer went to Port
Arthur alter the capture OF that place by the
Japanese, in November last, with surgeons
and Others, including the American Consul,
intending to bring 1000 wounded Chinese
from Port Arthur to Tien-Tsin. But Mr.
Young adds, the japanese commanding gen.
eral after two days delay, refused to allow
the wounded to be removed, declaring that
they would DO treated in the japanese hos.
pitals. The japanese commander also or
dered the Red Cross Societys steamer to
leave Port Arthur.
Finally, Mr.. Young says that they learned
before leaving Pot Arthur that the Chinese
previous to the fighting which resulted In the
capture of that place, burst into the hospital,
kili all their own wounded and skinned the
doctor alive

Bi: War Ships.

Up to the recent launching of the
British battle ship Royal Sovereign, the
Italians had possessed the largest war
ships, the Italia and her mates, each
being credited with a displacement Of
I3, 800 gross TONS The latest addition to
the British line has displacement esti-
mated at IA, $50 tons, thus slightly out
weighing the rival craft. A radical
difference exists. however, in the theory
of construction, the British ship having
a protective belt of armor, with steel
face and iron back on the compound sys.
TEN, the same with a maximum thick
ness of eighteen inches, while the big
craft of the Italian fleet have not any
outside protection. At the first blush il
would appear that, in point of en-.
durance, the odds would be largely with
the British ship, hut first class naval
authorities are not by any means agreed
that side armor is efficacious, for since
even the six inch rifle at short range can
pierce the heaviest armOr that can be
foated, there is likelihood that shells
will break through and explode, un-
shipping the guns and demoralizng the
crew, while in the case of unprotected
sides it is likely to cut its way clear
through the ship and explode harmless
ly in the water.

We are not unmindful that during
the past twelve months many hearth
stones have been left desolate, or that
riches have taken to themselves wings
and plunged the household into pow
erty, Or that worse sorrow of dishonor
or disgrace has quenched the light Of
joy in the once happy home. Such in
deed have tasted of the bitter waters
of Marah, but even these trials may
have been blessings in disguise. The
One who suffers them to be must know
that the discipline, however grievous,
is for good, and in His own good time
He will turn the bitter into sweet and
reveal the well of Elm to the burdened
and despairing soul. Could we but
sorrows we might find ourselves encom-
passed with a celestial host sent to min
lister to us in our hour of extremity.
Our journey Heavenward is ever be-
meath the watchful eye of our Father;
if lie chastens us it is what we require,
and He loves US too well to pass it by;
in every experience He Is leading us,
and He will not suffer US to be tried
| beyond what we can endure, and IN the
end He will give US comfort and peace.
Let us remember that not one of us
Is called to wander alone; the Lord
goes with us step by step ready to bear
our burdens and carry our griefs if we
let Him, and though our eyes may be
| tear-dimmed and our voices falter as
we uplift them to God to-day is not
the thought that He never leaves nor
forsakes His children q cause for
praise and Thanksgiving? Can we not
then say from the inmost depths of our
| hearts:
| Praise to God, immortal praise
For the love that crowns our days9"
