Americans, and the few who yet remain are
holding themselves in readiness to depart
at a moments notice. The government
omcers-not one of whom are natives of
Cuba, but all Spaniards from he mother
peninsula-are waxing more and more
openly wroth with our countrymen, accus-
ing them of pan tiality to the rebel cause if
not of affording more substantial encourage

Spain. The former charge is, no doubt, true
enough. and SO, indeed, may the latter be, if

American; and living almost under the lee
of land wlere every man is a sovereign
in his own right. they have continually be-
fore them an object lesson in favor of re-
publican Institutions, IS contrasted with
those of Inoldy and obsolete monarchy.
To go from one country TO the other is not
merely to pass over a few degrees of lati-
tude, but is like stepping from the starless
darkness Of the middle ages into the broad
light of the nineteenth century. Crushed
under government despoic as that OF
the autocrat of the Rassias, their lives, lib
critics, and fortunes are practically held at
the caprice of single individual who is
never Cuban born and who acknowledges
no fealty except to nominal ruler more
than 5000 miles across the sea.
TLey began TO realize that Spain inter
est in Cuba is for ravenue alone. and that
their little island has been sucked AS dry
as last YEARS lemon. While in tue United
states the self imposed taxes are, SO light as

is compelled to pay more than $500 year,
directly and indirectly. for the support of
an antiquated and bigoted systam OF tyran-
ny. equaled nowhere elsa in the civilized
world.
LAWS OF EXTORTION.
This beautiful island. hardly larger than
the State of Illinois. and with a population
not half as great, including slaves and for
eigners, must pay over TO the royal raas-
ury no less than S39,0O0.0u0 per annum.
Spain still keeps in force all the oppressive
laws of extortion that once applied 20 the
savages of an earlier age; and 10 keep the
people from forcible oojec ions tc the same
compais them 10 support garrison force.
which even in time of peace equals the
whole standing army of the United States
and absorbs more tl.an half the remaining
revenue of the island. And in return for
all this ex orfion the Cubans get no equiva-
lent whatever. They have no voice in the
management of their own public affairs, no
representation. no share of political honors
and emoluments, and not only are tongue
and pen proscribed. and local industry aud
ambition of every SOFT crippled. but Cuba's
intercourse with other nations is carefully
hampeled by the mother country in every
ccnceiva Bile manner.
There il no denying that affairs have
about reached crisis and that the day is
big with fate foI the people of Cuba. In
Havana business of all sorts is practically
suspended. and popular feeling runs hourly
more high and bitter. From the rampoI is
of Moro Castle and La Punta the roll of
drums and the clash of arms is almost as
continuous as the dash of green waves at
their feet, and thrilling strains of martial
music are perpetually sounding in the

of this nature, but instructed the

Taylor, to sound the Spanish foreign
office as to it's views. 10 this end i'll
quiry was orally made and all oral re-
ply was given thereto by the Spanish
premier.
Senior Canovas informed Mr.. Taylor
that Spain could not entertain such a
proposal; that the rebellion in Cuba
was u small affair, with which Spain
was abundantly able to deal without as
sistancc from any other power. That
Spain could not for one moment con-
s,der any proposal Oh the part Of for
eign power to conduct al investigation
into the domestic affairs of his majesty's

hangs upon the decision of the Roches-

to work pending the action of the latter.
Patton miners held a meeting and de-

wind white miners quit work the strike
will be general throughout the Beech

the history of settlement in Manitoba
has the country suffered such q terrible
visitation of prairie fires as have &C.
Cured during the past week. The brief
Geographic dispatches sent out from
day to day have conveyed very made
quate idea of the great destruction to
property caused by these devastating
fires. Houses, stables, live stock, grain
stacks and hay have been consumed III
all directions, and half a dozen people
have lost their lives and score or
more have been seriously burned and
permanently MANNED: Several reports
have reached the city Of the cremation
of horses attached to vehicles that had
to be abandoned by the drivers en- the
trails, and dozens Of cattle grazing OH
the plains were either burned to death
or so SO seriously burned that they had
to be killed. It is estimated that a
quarter of million bushels of grain
and nearly a million tons of hay have
been destroyed. In some districts not
enough hay is left to feed stock over
winter.

BUTTE, Mon., Oct. 2l.-An unsuc.
cessful attempt was made to rob Hoge,
Daley 6 Co.'S bank at Anaconda a
hole was cut through the roof Of the
building to the safe and a hole drilled
and filled with dynamite which was
touched off by fuse. A frightful ex.
plosion occurred which shattered plate
glass and broke open the vault. A
crowd soon collected and one of the rob.
bers was captured on the roof Of the
building. He was recognized as well
known young mechanic named A. L.
Firpo. He later implicated Will Fl.
Darling, young blacksmith, as che
Originator and Leader
in the attempted robbery. Darling ran
away when the explosion occurred, and
fell off building, breaking several ribs.
He went to his room, where he was ar.
rested during the afternoon. They had
been planning the robbery for three
months or more, and had made their
own tools for the job. They worked all
night OH heroof and cut through sheet
iron and about three feet Of masonry
and into the vault. They found $4,000
in silver but preferred the gold, of
which there was about 100000 in a
compartment and attempted to blow it
out with dynamite, but miscalculated
the force of the explosive.
