ST. ROCK CHAPEL.

"A DUAL mt New Orleans Relic OF the Time
OF tho Crusades.
When l lived in New Orleans, saws a.
writer in IIarpcrs Young People, saw q
great many quaint things; among them
pretty little chapel. 1t is called St.
Rock, from a saint who lived in the
time of the Crusades, and who was sup
posed to have n great healing power.
The chapel is in n little street in the
French quarters, and has cemetery
around it.
The people who go to the chapel to
pray, or to be cured of any sickness, go
nine times in succession, and call it n
'novoena." At the gate there is SEX
tons house. The people buy for n
nickel n candle which the sexton puts
in an old tin stick. They walk through
the cemetery, and then in front of the
altar in the chapel on which lies life
size wax figure of our Saviour. Light
ing their candle on one of the others
that arc there they inecl on the steps
Of the altar and pray.
On the altar are wax hands, feet,
hearts, etc, donated by different pco-
pie who have been cured, and in the
corners of the chapel arc crutchcs, also
donated by different people. The SEX
ton told us Of colored girl who was
blind, and was led to the chapel, and in
nine days her sight was restored.

THE CUBAN REBELLION.
Ten Thousand Spanish soldiers Expected
by the Last OF April.


PORT TAMPA, Fla, April 2.-The
Olivette arrived from Cuba to. nj ght
with very few passengers. w. X.
Hyer, assistant cashier of the First
National Bank of Pensacola, with his
wife, was among them. He reports
that between April and 90 10, 900 more
troops are expected from Spain. He
says that business is generally de-
pressed in Havana, and that merchants
ackno wledge the fact openly.
Another passenger stated that the
steamship Coucha, from Galves.o ION to
Now York, was mot in the Gulf by o
schooner With probably 100 men aboard
1t was thought the schooner was ex-
pscting to meet q steamer for some
purpose unknown, but, upon discover
ing their mistake, nearly I'll won't below
and sail was quickly made to avoid the
steamer. 1t is thought that there was
an expedition aboard that expected to
be S applied with arms. 1t is reported
thet Colonel Arose, with thirty aides,
were captured by the insurgents about
four days ago near Manzanillo, where
they were at dinner.

ADvIcEs from st. Petersburg indicate
that peace between China and Japan ia
not, by any means, assured. The lat
ter's dem ands are so extravaganza that
they may not be accepted By China,
desperate as her condition is BESIDES
the session.oi.a portion of Mancnuria and
war indemnity OF ZOO, 600, 900 ven,
Japan demands that, pending the pay
mont OF the latter, Pekin be occupied
by her troops. From this 1t would an.
pear that the Islanders are determined
to make the most of their opportunity
and keep their hereditary enemies
down while they are in that position.
The dispatch does not state whether
sae indemnity Is to be rsid in gold or
silver; but, it is presumed. it will be in
the latter. The Japanese gold yen is
equal to 99.7 cents United States money
and the silver is equivalent to so cents,
from which it Is easy to see that the
question OF gold or silver would be o
very important one to China.

HELP THEM TO PAY THE DEBT.


The work done by the Ladies' Union
Benevolent Society during the past win
ter has been noble aud disinteressed.
About one hundred aud fifty families
have bean regularly cared FOR AMI fifty
other families have received occasional
assistance from the society, who have
some remaining work to do before clos
ing the season. In their zeal to care for
the destitute o: tho city the members of
the society have incurred debt of
about $50, besides the amounts pledged
by them individually, and an appeal is
now earnestly made to the liberal peo-
pie of Roanok to aid them in paying
this debt. They will be grateful for any
contributions, however nall, that may
be sent to the treasurer, Mrs. 2. L
Terry. The meetings OF the society will
not be discontinued until this debt is

needed will soon BIO forthcoming. A
nobler set OF workers cannot bs found

ALL danger Of war between Mexico
and Guatemala is over for the present.
The boundary question has been set.
tied to the satisfaction OF Mexico, and
Guatemala has been forced to recede
from her belligerent attitude. Had her
finances held out she would in all pro-
liability have resorted to war to defend
her position. but having failed to pay
the interest on her foreign debt, she
found her credit gone when attempting
to purchase arms, and not having the
cash to pay for them, of course her war.
like aspirations evaporated. Should the
Nicaraguan canal be constructed all
OF the Central American states would
find their condition greatly amelioreted
by increased prosperity.
