 WASHINGTON. Feb 25.-Cnptain Henry W. Howgate, formerly disbursing clerk of the signal service, who has been on trlnl hero since Ian. 2S on two indictments charging him with cmbczzlcmcnt and for gcry, has been acquitted of tho charges. Thu case was given to the jury at noon on Thursday last, and it was not until noon Sunday that a verdict was rcachcO. On the first ballot 1t Is said. tho vote stood : to for ncquittal. The jury reported on Saturday their inability to agree, but Judgo McComas insisted that they should remain and try again.
 The Howgate case has becn unusual in many ways Fourteen years auo important frauds affecting largo sums of money were discovered in tho signal service ncoountS and Howgate was charged with having committed them. He was arrested. but Iy Q rusc escaped from his guards, and for IS years remained in New York. AL though reward of s5, 900 was offered for his capture, he was not arrested until last fall.
 At the hepinulng of he trial thcre was hot legal battle in regard to the validity of the indict nents on which it was pro- posed to try Howgate They were finally sustained and the case tried on its merits. The jury found that the case was not har- rcd by tho statute of limitations but held that Iiowgatc was not guilty of the par ticular oftcnscs charged.

About 1, 400 anecdotes have been pub lished under the above title. in which dogs have figured in preserving human life. We once had a dog noted for say ing things, but there wasn't a life among chem.
 He kept the things he saved under the kitchen dresser, and his hiding place wasn't discovered for long time not indeed until it became necessary to tear up the kitchen floor to find a good place to deposit some chloride of lime during a cholera season; then we found what had been "saved by dog. !"
 There ware Q couple of kittens. cat, two or three rats and chicken-all stone dead; a large assortment of bones, the remnants of an ottoman, couple of teaspoons, a canary bird and a nutmeg grater. It is rarely there is so much saved by a dog, for they are generally improvident. --London Tit-Bits.

in the movement left Santiago last week for New York and San Domingo.
 The apprehensions of revolution are increasing. The governor general has put in effect the public order law throughout the island. This law provides for the inn mediate punishment of anybody taken in a seditious act.

 TAMPA, Fla, Feb. 27.-Fernandina Figueredo has received the following tele- gram from Gonzales Quesada, the seore- tary of the Cuban Revolutionary club, dated at New York:
 Revolution broke out on Sunday. The whole island is in arms"
 Your correspondent called on Mir. Fig ueredo in West Tampa and found the whole populace wild with excitement. Mir Figucrcdo was colonel in the former rev olution and prominent agitator in the revolutionary party. His statement was as fellows:
 "Jose Marti. leader of tke party, left New York on Jan. a2 for San Domingo tc meet General Gomez, Dominican general and one of the old leaders in Cuba The people needed him there to take initiatory steps.
 The plan was to land with a small force of leaders. The entire island Is perfectly awake to the situation, the result of the jealous work of Marti for the past four years. During the last revolution the Ha- vana and Vuelta Abijo provinces did not participate, but they have found them selves to be the first on the field in this revolution. Therefore, I think the first show has been made from near Matanzas. -
