KEY WEST, Fla, March 1s-A trust
worthy report of the condition of affairs
in the east end Of Cuba is brought by a
passenger on the steamer Macotte. 81
have travelled throughout the mountain
Gus district constantly since the trouble
began" said he, land matters are now in
a much verse condition than at the be-
ginning. The fighting started in q de-
sultory and scattered fashion, but the
forces gradually became crystalized, and
there are now fully 5000 insurgents They
are in dozen or more detachments, but
are giving the government no end OF
trouble. In many cases :he Spanish
troops have been beaten back with heavy
loss.
Insurgents Growing: More confident.
''The most deplorable feature of the
warfare is the pillagiDg and burning.
The insurgents have gained confidence
since the beginning of the trouble and
matters in the eastern district are in
almost as bad condition as during the
war of 1868. New leaders are springing
up, and by force of their intellect and
ability they have induced the insurgents
not to hold off longer for the arrival of
old leaders. The general opinion in San
tiago is that il the insurgents can hold
out until summer the yellow fever Will
help them greatly. The Spanish troops
are guarding every road leading to San
tiago and nobody is allowed to pass with
out giving the strictest account of him
self.
Not safe to Talk or Tell the Truth.
sit is as much as mans life. is worth
in Santiago To talk in favor of the Cubans
or tell the truth. Several persons have
been shot on account of an expression of
opinion. Instances where the Spaniards
were defeated have been published gov
ernment victories. Four Spanish cruisers
were in the harbor of Santiago one week
ago, now there are but two guarding 9
the eastern coast and one 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.
why the >paniarsis Hate Americans.
1t seems to be the general impression
among the Spaniaris that the United
States feels bitter toward the Spanish gov
ernment and would like nothing better
than an excuse to seize the island, hence
their hatred Of the Americans. Nothing
official has been received of the report or
the Spanish cruiser firing on the Allianca.
1t is understood that the Spanish officials
in Havana claim the Allianca was with
in three miles CT shore and that the
cruiser had right to sink her on her rc-
fusal to halt.

We, the colored members of the
Second Baptist church of the city of
lola, have our new church nearly en-
closed and We heartily thank our
brethren and friends for helping US.
But we are compelled to ask our good
friends of the city to please aid US a
little more financially. The committee
on finance are James Carter, Mrs. E.
Carter and Mrs. Martha Moore.
Now dear friends, remember the
poor colored people have always been
poor and cannot build a church with

please give and the Lord will bless
you and your city. Call and see our
new building and you will see our
need.

SUNDAY SCH ooL ooNvENr1oN.

EDITOR REGISTER: Perhaps, as
politics are of all absorbing interest to
many of your readers, others may be
interested in another branch of work
that is a training school for good citi-
zenship, and submit our impressions
of Sunday School gathering of the
Geneva people on Friday evening and
Saturday last.
Promptly on time for the opening
f. n. Funston called order and de-
votional meeting of deep interest de-
noted that Gods spirit was in the
hearts of the people and a condition
of heart existed for profitable and
enjoyable session.
The further exercises Of the evening
consisting of two well prepared adj
dresses by Rev. Faust, County Presi-
dent of the s. s. Association, on "Con-
centration of Effort,n and the other
by Rev. Squier on "The Literature OF
the Home" and were well received.
Saturdays program consisted of the
discussion upon "RelatiOn of Sunday
School and Church; Best results from
Primary class; Modern Jonah; Lesson
Helps; The Devil Fisher; The Boys;
The community without a S. s.; Re-
quisites of Teacher; Personal Intiu-
ence, Temperance, House to House
Visitation and Conservation service"
The chairman kept every minute
occupied from first to last by either
addresses or discussions or with mu-
sic which a carefully trained choir of
young people rendered and touch
ing temperance song by Mrs. and Miss
Spicer.
The election resulted i'm the choice
of trio of ladies to fill the offices OF
the township s. $. Association, and a
good brother in commencing them to
faithfullness quoted "quIt you like
men," We hope they may excel the
attempts of many of our faltering
brothers.
Visiting pastors from Neosho Falls
and Rev. Irwin added much to the
spiritual application of the subjects
and we venture that no teacher or
worker present need be other than
lifted to a higher plain of teaching
Gods word to the class entrusted to
their care.
The strangers were most cordially
received and bountlfully cared for and
we feel that naught but good can re-
suit from such assemblies of the
workers. -
