groes or half-bloods. Some bands are entirely made up of colored men, and the difficulty in some respects resembles a race war. Such are the people for whom more or less sympathy in the United States has been aroused. False reports of battles fought and victories won have been manufactured in the cigar facto- ries of Tampa and Key West. As a mat ter of fact no city and no town has been taken and no battle of any importance fought.
 When the signal for a general rising was given nearly two months ago the garrison at Santiago de Cuba numbered 100 men. It would not have been difficult to capture them. Now there are 5000 Spanish troops there.
 The insurrection is deplored by the bet ter classes of Cubans, as well as all res idents interested in mercantile or produc- ing operations. The home rule party and the reform party, las we'll as the con- servative party, have denounced the up rising as injurious to the best interests of Cuba Reforms which have recently passed the Spanish cortes have not been put into effect. Commerce is beginning to suffer Heavy expenses for military operations have been incurred, and these will be added to the already burdensome taxes with which the island is already saddled. The general opinion of intelli- gent residents is that the present upris- ing, like it's several predecessors, will fail, a few more enthusiasts will be shot, and the emancipation of the fair island, which is bound to come some day, will be delayed rather than aided.

MUSIC, SONG AND STORY.

MT. Lindsey then closed for the affirm ative, and in his maiden effort made for himself reputation as an orator. He was wholly at ease, and spoke in an able and impassioned manner. His introduc- tory remarks were perhaps his best and ran as follows: Tn these latter days, when new theories spring up as thistles by the wayside, we find ourselves con fronted by questions and problems which but few college boys. and no statesmen at all, can solve. Fortunately for the human race, beyond the pro- found intelligence of our statesmen there is an intelligence higher and more brilliant-that of the college boy-to which we may wisely and safely resort for the proper and immediate solution of such tedious and troublesoH1e ques- tions. For years the suffrage question has agitated the minds of our greatest and most gifted men. Different classes have been scuffling over the ballot, and even women, the climax of all creation, watching for a few years the hot and violent scuffie, have at last caught the fever, and in many sections of our coun- try are clamoring for the right to vote." ] But aside from all testing, he said. the question under discussion is one of no small importance. l firmly believe in that old adage that all men are created free and equal. I believe that He who created all things intended that all men should share together and partake equal ly of the many privileges and enjoyments of social and political life. It was this sentiment that being deeply instilled into the breasts of an illustrious ances- try, gave to us and exhibited to all the world a government which all true low CTS of liberty will never cease to admire. I consoientiously believe every man is entitled to voice in the legislature that is to govern his actions, and in years to come is to determine the destinies of his posterity, But there comes time when,

tained the previous weeks proportions and at some points shows noteworthy increases as compared with the total a year ago. The reaction in petroleum prices appears to have been overcome and the tendency is again upward, based on drop in stocks from about Il, 100000 barrels of Pennsyvania oil in January 1894, to less than 3,000,00 barrels of mer- chantable oil. So marked and rapid has been the appreciation in prices of petro- leum that speculation in it has been ex- cited
 Further advances in quotations are noted also for wheat, on improved de- mand for export; cotton, on a widened consumption, present and prospective; print cloths and other cotton goods, be- cause of higher raw cotton.
 General trade conditions at the south are no better, and in some respects less satisfactory. Improvement in demand Is not announced at any point. In Texas high winds and lack of rain have hurt crop prospects, and farmers in some To- calities have not planted yet.

Shouts and Tears.-The singing of "Gwine Back to Dixie" is down on the programme flor Memorial Day. This song is very pathetic, and brings tears up the lively air of Dixie" immediately after the close of the song the tears will give place to shouts and applause.
 A Small Blaze.-At 2:30 o'clock yester- day afternoon an alarm of fire was Nineteenth straet. The blaze was in a servant h luse at the rear of MT. John Towers residence. No. 1916 Eighth ave- nue. The house was practically de stioyed, and the damage will amount to about $150. The origin of the fire is not known.
 A Great Honor.-At the reunion in this city last April it will be remembered that Miss Annie German delighted the veterans with a patriotic piece. The Houston delegates were so charmed with her talents that they offered to send special car for her if she would attend the reunion in Houston She gave her promise, and on the 19th Of next month a special car will be sent by the Houston camp to Montgomery to carry Alabama's sweet little song bird to Houston. This is quite an honor to one so young.

It was at first proposed that one of the vett erans read it. but each one who was ap- preached declined on the ground that it was so affecting that he would be over come by emotion and break down.
