Brick Work Built 10 Stay.

In demolishing a part OF the Albert
warehouses in Liverpool it occurred to
the assistant engineer in charge of the
work to make some investigations into
the strength of the old brick work.
The wall was built about fifty years
ago of handmade bricks, laid in
ground mortar made with Flintshiro
lime. This lime is Ia a high degree
hydraulic and has a reputation of
making mortar of exceptionally good
quality.
The engineer conceived the happy
thought of leaving a piece of it in the
form of a horizontal beam having a
twelve-foot span and measuring about
:wo feet square In section, seven
courses in the height of a two-foot
wall. The ends of the beams were
not cut free from the rest OF the
work.
A centrally placed load of five tons
fifteen hundred weight was then gra-
duslly piled upon it, and was borne
for several days without apparent
effect upon the brickwork. Finally
the weight was increased to 81 tons,
which was sustained for thirty hours,
when the beam collapsed during the
night and came down in pieces more
like broken timber than anything else.
Other tests were made with similarly
astonishing results, but the above are
sufficient to show what really first@tate
brickwork in hydraulic lime will stand.

The Last Cuban Rebellion.

In 1868 the Cubans made an effort
to secure their independence, and their
struggle lasted about ten years. They
were not defeated, but were induced to
yield by promises of reform, which the
Spanish government has never carried
out, and this fact is the leading cause
or the present formidable revolution.
In the last rebellion Cespedes started
with q force of lat men, and in two
days he was at the head of an army of
1000. In q month he had II, 900 men
and had captured several important
towns.
In the first three years Spain sent
100, 900 soldiers to the island and
eigbty-two armed vessels, and yet the
insurgents were able to hold their own.
At the end of three years the Spaniards
had lost $4,000 men against Is, 900 on
the Cuban side in battle, but it should
be stated that 4S, 900 Cubans were az
rested, many of whom died in prison.
The Spaniards murdered thousands
without regard to age or sex.
Mexico and the South American re-
publics recognized the Cubans as bel
ligerents, and in this country a Cuban
league was organized with the COVER
nors of all the states except one as vice
presidents. Among the atrocities
committed by the Spaniards was the
murder of twelve students who were
charged with desecrating the grave of
Spanish writer. The Spaniards also
captured the Virginius, which sailed
under United States colors to aid the
insurgents, and fifty-three of the crew
and passengers were shot at Santiago,
including tho commander, Captain
Fry. Others would have been shot but
for the threat of the captain of Brit
ish gunboat to lombard the city.
The present rebellion appears to be
even more promising than the one in
1868, and it is doubtful whether Spain
can send q force strong enough to
suppress it.

THE AURANIA SIGHTED.
She Signaled That Her Machinery Was
Disabled, But Did Not Need
Assistance

New York, July 29.-The Aurania,
which sailed from Liverpool for this port
July 20, and from Queenstown July q,
and was due at this port on Sunday,
has been sighted by three vessels, two
of which she signalled that her ma
chinery was disabled, but that she did
mot need assistance.
AT noon on July 81, the Aurania was
spoken in latitude 44.16, longitude IS,
by the North German Lloyd steamer
Saale, which arrived today. Captain
Miller reports that he spoke to the Au-
rama, about a ships length off. Captain
Mackay reported slight defect in the
engine. Repairs were being made and
he hoped soon to be able to resume the
voyage. What the nature of the ships
disaster was, Captain Miller did not
know.
The captain of the Fricsland, which ar
rived at quarantine this afternoon from
Antwerp, reports than on July ~ at S
a. M she sighted eight miles to the south
a steamer supposed to be the Aurania,
standing still and heading nOrthward.
She showed no signals. The Aurania
had ON board 80 first-c.ass and % second
class passengers, the majority of them re-
turning American tourists, besides 400
immigrants. The failure to make THE
nature of the Aurania's disability known
is that there is no might code of signals.
