CUBANS ARE DESPERATE
Six thousand Of Them are Under AFmj

PlLLAGlNG AND BURNING
The Spanish Hate All Americans
and Fear the United states VIII
Embrace the opportunity TO
seize the Islands

KEY WEST, Fla, March 1.-THE first
clear and trustworthy statement of the
condition of affairs in the eastern end of
Cuba is brought by passenger on the
steamer Macotte. Il have travelled
throughout the mountainous district con-
stantly since the trouble began said he,
land matters are now in a much worse
condition than at the beginning. The
fighting started in desultory
and scattered fashion, but the
forces gradually became crystallized
and there are now fully 500
insurgents under arms. They are in a
dozen or more detachments, but are Civ
ing the government no end of trouble. In
many cases the Spanish troops have been
beaten back with heavy loss. The most
deplorablc feature OF the warfare is The
pillaging and burning. The insurgents
have gained confidence since the begin
ming OF the trouble. anl matters are in
almost as bad a condition as during the
war of lsoS. New leaders are springing
up and by the force of their intellect and
ability they have induced the insurgents
not to hold Off longer for the arrival OF
leaders
The general opinion in santiago is
that If the insurgents can hold out until
summer, the yellow fever will he p them
greatly. II Is said that both Rabi and
Masso are confident of taking Santiago
before October. Then Spanish tro ps ars
guarding every road and nobody is al
lowed to pass without giving the strictest
account of himself. II is as much as 4
mans life is worth IN Santiago to talk in
favor of the Cubans or tell the truth.
Several persons have been shot on ac-
count OF this. Instances whore the
Spaniards were defeated have been pub
lished government victories. Four
Spanish cruisers were IN the harbor of
Santiago one week ago, nov there are but
two guarding the eastern coast and one
on the southern"
The passenger also said the revolt
would kill business in Cuba for two years.
Money is already scarce and prices are
high. A panic is feared. Ii seems to be
the general impression among the Span
iards that the United States feels bitterly
towards the Spanish government. and
would like nothing better than an excuse
TO seize the island, hence their hatred of
the Amer lcans. Nothing official has been
received OF the report OF the Spanish
cruiser firing on the Aliancia. 1t is
understood that the Spanish officials in
Havana claim the Aliiancia was wi hin
three miles OF the shore and that the
cruiser had a right to sink her on her re-
fusaI to halt.

81. Louis Compelled TO Remember the
sabbath Day 10 Keep II Hoy.
ST. LOUIS, March 17.-To-day has been
the b!uest Sunday ST. Louis has had
within the memory of the oldest inhabi-
tant. The Sabbath association has had
many committees at work and they made
many purchases in ali saloons, groceries,
dry goods strorcs and haberdasher estab-
lishments that were open and ready TO
sell. The work of the Sabbath associa-
ton has put terror in the hearts of :he
men who have hitherto scarcely thought
there is Sunday closing law on the
statute books.
In consequence many stores hereto
fore kept open on the Sabbath day were
closed. The sudden break of the butch
ers, grocers. cigar dealers and saloon
keepers to keep holy the Sabbath, drove
many absent-minded persons TO their
wis ends TO secure tho necessities and
luxuries usually purchased on Sum
day. The officers of the association
say they are making an aggressive
crusade in spite Of the efforts of some IN
fluential men TO ihwart their efforts. The
result OF to- days work will be seen in the
number of warrants applied for by the as
soeiations of tins place. the arrests and
convictions will follow IN every case where
witnesses are able to prove an inlraction
of the law.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-There are
reasons tor believing that the supreme
court will render soon its opinion in the
Oakland, Cal, water front cases. The
cases involve the title to about 5000 acres
of land, supposed with its improvements
to be worth several million dollars, and
its adjudication will involve several nice
points of law, among which will be right
of state TO dispose of its domain except
for public uses and for right to sell
property acquired from state on trust;
and also possibly some construction of
the terms of the original grant of land
embraced in the state of California to the
United States by Mexico.

between the bars and heard Blanck say: {:
Throw up your hands,
Blanck made Yerberry turn around and
tied him to the bars. He next loosened
the cord about the jailer's arm and threw
moose over his neck, at the same time
calling out:
"Unlock the combinations"
The jaIler obeyed and with the disen-
gagged hand he undid the iron, the cages
swinging open. and Blanck then went
through the jailer's pockets, taking his
keys and 90 cents in cash. Then pro-
claiming freedom to all in the cells, ne
walked leisurely into the air.
There were % prisoners in the cages,
