. Preserve Hudson Palisades.

New York has awakened to the necessity of
preserving the beauty of the lower Hudson
when almost too late. For two or three years
past the Decorating hand of the quarryman
has been busy converting the Palisades Of the
Hudson into crushed stone, which has a COM
mercial value in the Empire State of far supe-
rior attraction TO the owner OF the real estate
on the Hudson's banks than the fame of the
Palisades, though ii has gone wherever guide
book or description Of American scenery has
penetrated. The effort 10 check the destruc-
ton is embodied in a law enacted by the State
Legislature, which is still in session at Albany.
BY this new statute it is provided that the
Governor shall appoint three Commissioners,
who shall be citizens of the State to meet and
confer with authorized representatives of the
State of New Jersey for the purpose of adopt
ing such means as may be deemed expedient
for the object of securing action by the Gov
eminent OF the United States for the acquisi-
tion Of that part of the west shore of the Hud-
son River within the States of New York and
New Jersey known as the Palisades of the
Hudson, TO be set apart as q reservation or for
purposes of fertilization.

case j, God of Beauty. shows figure with
fair proportioned face each check having been
stained with the fingers of men, women and
children who sought to take therefrom bit OF
dust, which, when touched 10 their lips i'm
parted hope and safety from suffering, either
by epidemic, famine or war Another idol
from the mountains, stained on the right side
with the juices of serpents, toads spiders and
like creatures. is not unlike the Aztecs God Of
War. HuitzilipOchtli, though it is in the rough
and lacks the ornaments, helmet, plume, shield
etc; at least, il stood as War God to the
Toltecs. A goddess, "CenteOte" of earth and
maize. attributed TO the Aztecs. seems more
likely TO be Totcc, bearing as it does, such
peaceful expression and being adorned with
pendant necklaces.
Evidence is plentiful OF Aztec work: their
images Of their gods are hideous, senseless,
always disfgured by grotesque. fantastic SYM
bolism full of dread and terror for the priest
ridden subjects. There is not one monolithic
statue of the importance and grandeur Of the
CeylOn Buddhs, with its superb Bo-tree leaves
wreathed about its head. They took the i'm.
perjshable lava, pumice, aud other stones and
went 10 the other extreme. dwsrEed their gods,
yet wita a wonderful chaste feeling clothed
their grinning fgnres even though a continu-
Gus stream Of blood might Cow before them.

identical traditions of art, science and general
civilization.
Numerous tiger warriors devil-shaped heads,
horned heads, faces with hogs snouts noselcss
faces with stained red teeth, heart heads and
innumerable other types, or imaginative terra
cottas stare and impose their seemingly sense
less yisages upon the visitor. Usually the
Toltecs managed TO give even their miniature
gods something more than animal character,
and their implements as well as toys were
fashioned with one eye at least for the orna-
mental.
Other objects, instruments oil saerlhce IN
particular, are absorbingly interesting. The
yoke OF chiseled granite, of serpent design,
which held the head Of the victim while the
four or more priests upon either side, swung
the figure in air and then forced the head to
strike the sacri6cial stone, may be the cross OF
Tloloc, against which thousands have been
slaughtered, is here shown, only one-half OF 1t
being preserved.
The hand manacles wrought from the solid
semi eranitelike material, display genius for
the intimidation of the unfortunate culprits
mind quite above the power shown by the
most iendish Chinese scheme. There is some
thing subtle. keen and deep in these slick de-
vices for torture, and the seal of the moon, or
death face, deep-set and CHASTITY, upon its face
add mystery to the awful relic.

GEN. McCOOK RETIRES.
The Last Of the "Fighting McCooks" Re
turns to Private Life.

The Last Of the "Fighting McCooks" Re-
turns to Private Life.
After having been continuously i'm the serv-
ice for 43 years Maj Gen. Alexander Mcdowell
McCook retired from the Army April Il, as he
has reached the age of Ga years. For the first
time in nearly half a century the Army is
without McCook on its active rolls. and with
the retirement Of Ma. Gen. McCook the last of
the " fighting McCooks" goes into private life.
1t was never asserted that the McCooks fur.
nished the most brilliant of American fighters
but il is noteworthy fact that father and
nine sons were all fighting for their country
at one time. and that four of them attained the
rank of General. Alexander goes out as a
Major General. he was Maior-General in
the war times, and before his Both birthday
was commanding brigade, had fought in Shi-
lob, and won the highest praises from Gen.
w. T. Sherman.
McCook's war record was an enviable one
and that it was not magnificent one was due
to lack of opportunity. In every engagement
in which Gen. McCOok took part he came out
with the highest honors, from his cam paian
against the Muscular Indians in 1866, in New
Mexico, when he was only q Brevet Second
Lieutenant, all through the war, and up to
1894. when, without firing a gun or charging
bayonet, he opened 10000 miles of railroad
during labor strike of National Importance.

END OF CUBA'S REBELLION.
use Lost-The Insurgents Pardoned.

It's Cause Lost-The Insurgents Pardoned.
The cause of the Cubans is lost. Brig Gen.
Crombet is killed and Gen. Maceo is captured.
On the battlefield of Palmarito are buried the
hopes of the Cuban leaders, and the Pearl of
the Antilles is still fettered by Spain.
In desperate conflict ut Pamarito the Span
iards defeated the insurgent forces. Crombet
was not only killed, Int his body was mutilated
by sword thrusts.
Maceo and his army bad been in the mount
aims, and their scouts.were on the lookout for
the Spaniards. 1t is supposed that the number
of the soldiers was underestimated by these
emissaries.
The rebels rushed down the mountain side
and endeavored to engage the troops in hand
to-hand conflict. Spain's Regulars waited until
tie lnsurgent army was close at hand and then
poured in their volley with deadly effect A
number of Cuban officers, one of whom was .
Colonel, was killed
Maceo was leader of the rebel forces with
Gomez during the last revolution. Though
but youth, he achieved considerable distinc.
ton. AT the outbreak of this revolution Maceo
landed at Puerto do Barancoa March 81. With
him were the following officers of the new rebel
army: Brig. Gen. Flor Crombet, Gen. Jose Ma
Geo, Col. Augustin Celreco Col. Patrce Corona
Frank Agramonte Pedro Duverger, and Jose
Marti. Without the two leaders, Crombet and
Mace. the Cuban revolution dwndles to merely
hlibustering expedition. Gen. Campos's serv-
ices will not be needed. The rebels whom he
came to conquer rebels no longer. Every
thing seems TO indicate that the war is ended
Reports from the scene of battle are meager
but enough is known to show that the patriots
cause is lost.
Gen. Campos issued a proclamation to the
people of Cuba, declaring the strict enforcement
Of the military law, aud calling upon all cti-
Gems to show their obedience and loyalty. A
special proclamation was addressed to the pee
pie of the province of Santiago de Cuba 1t
says that the troops will be held to the strictest
discipline. and will not disturb peaceful cti-
zens. 1t offers pardon to all insurgents except
the leaders While not threatening to punish
those who sell or send provisions to the insur-
gents, Gen. Campos demands that every citizen
shall report to the regular troops the where
abouts of any insurgents as far as he may know
them.

Death OF a California Comrade.


At San Francisco, CAL, March 10. 1895 Maj.
David John Williamson, 4th CAL, aged 5S years
and six months.
Maj. Williamson went to California from New
York in 1858, when barely is years OF age.
Alter a short career in newspaper work ne
entered the political arena, becoming Assistant
Secretary of the California State Senate, where
be served three terms, and was uncommoniy
popular among men of all parties. In 1861 he
was appointed Regimental Quartermaster OF
the s4th Cal. Later President johnson ap-
pointed him Assistant Quartermaster, United
States Volunteers. Though earnestly desiring
to engage in active service, Maj. Williamson,
like most of the California volunteers, was
persuaded TO remain with those deputed to pro-
tect the State. California was at that time the
home of many Southerpers who, night and
morning, without rest, preached secession, ana
il was considered dangerous to leave these hre-
brands without guards. At the close of the war
Maj. Williamson was not mustered out, but
served until 1867. when, though Lieutenancy
in the Regular Army was offered him, he pre-
ferred TO return TO private life. In 1870 he
went to Calao, Peru, as United States Consul,
and in 1874 was transferred TO Valparaiso, Chile
Later he was Charge d'Affaires at Santiago. In
1878 he resigned on account of increasing ill
health. A complication of diseases, the prl-
mary one being rheumatism, contracted from
the exposure in tents during his military
service brought on the first illness. For years
Mai. Williamson had been unable to walk, save
a few steps with the aid of clutches. At one
time he was quite wealthy, owning numerous
valuable pieces of property in San Francisco.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: stepped
into the Office of one of our city editors the
other day. He belonged to the infantry
during tn war, and of course commenced
joking me about the cavalry, of which
was a member There were some other
parties in the room who had never belonged
to the army, but had come to life since
then. The editor went on to say that
there never had been charge made by
either army that was successful. 1 disputed
him, but there was no use talking to him.
If there was any, would like you to name
them in your valued paper as soon as you
can.-22d Pa. Cav, Sandwich, Ill.
At the time of our war the art of defense
had gotten so much the start Of the attack
that charges were rarely successful In fact,
Sherman says that a direct attack upon a
respectfully -defended front was never sue
cessful. In spite Ofithis however, Fort
Donelson succumbed TO a direct charge on
the right of the works; the fate of Vicks-
burg was settled by timely charge at
Champion Hills; the Sixth Corps made q
very brilliant charge at Rappahannock Sta
ton; the Army of Northumberland made a
glorious charge at Mission Ridge; the
Atlanta campaign was ended by q splen-
did charge OF the Fourteenth Corps upon
the rebel works at Jonesboro; Hazen's
Division carried Fort McCallister by storm
Thomas crushed Hood in front of Nash lille
by series of charges, and the Army of the
Potomac wound up matters round Peters
burg in a general charge. As for the cavalry,
Averill's troopers did some very pretty
charging at Brandy Station, Sheridan's
riders made things fly in the Shenannoah
Valley and around Richmond, Minty's Saber
Brigade has number of successful assaults
sword in hand, on the Atlanta campaign,
aud Wilson's cavalry took Selma with a
