Have you heard the call from Cuba
Coming northward on. the breeze?
Have you seen the dark cloud hanging
To the southwark DER the seas?
1t is gasp for liberty.
That shudders on the air:
Spain has relit her torture fires,
And men are writing there.
Oppression's tempest gathers force,
Its tidal wave rolls high;
Old Europe's shadow difps the stars
We kindled in the sky.
The time is come for action,
Now let the right prevail:
Shall all our boasted sympathy
With slaves downtrodden fail?
Shall we be Knockers of the faith
BY which our course was set2
Shall we deny what we received
From men like Lafayette?
Help, Help! the swarthy patriots cry,
While Spaniards beat them down,
Because they will not bend the knee
TO one who wears crown.
The hoary, medieval lie,
That robes the power of kings,
And rivets chains on bleeding hands,
Once more its logic brings.
At subtle diplomatic pleas
Let freedom statesmen scon;
Poor drowning Cuba. grips our skirt
Shall Freedom shake her of?
Oh no! fling out the fleet and flag,
To shield her from the storm,
And let that splendid island feel
The clasp of Freedoms arm.

Warehouse suffers $:s5O,OOO.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-There was great
commotion in the assay Office in Wall street
this morning. The journal of an engine in
the deposit melting room, where &, 100000
in gold bars was being arranged for ship
ment, became overheated and the oil ig-
nited. The flame followed the oil train
along the point of the machinery to the
ceiling. Great volumes of black smoke
quickly filled all the rooms of the building.
Outside on the Wall-street side came a
great kicking at the doors. 1t was a po-
liceman trying to get in. An official opened
the door about an inch and then slammed
the door in the policemans face The po-
liceman ran to fire box and turned in an
alarm, and in a few moments engines rat
tied up to the corner.
The firemen, axes in hand, made an on
slaught on the iron doors, but they were
refused admission. 1hey insisted. and finally
fifteen were allowed to enter Mr. Crosa,
chief clerk. said that the only danger was
that the fire might have. extended to the
assay room over the deposit melting room.
The building was ola and the timbers were
dry, and consequently highly inflammable.
The damage i'm all will amount to over
500, Geo. Most of 1T was done to the melt
ing apparatus and woodwork.
There is a sum amounting to nearly
$50 0o0, 900 in the vaults in the assay office.

GALVESTON, TEX, Oct. 31.-Captain
Hudson of the British steamer Honiton,
which arrived here yesterday, twenty
seven days from Antwerp, reports that
while passing Bemini island on October
25, three days after the terrific storm
which swept the Bahamas, he was hailed
by two boats flying distress signals. The
boats contained ten men, white and col
ored, who claimed to be pilots and fisher
men and who stated that they were desti-
tute. The storm of October % had made
it necessary to ask assistance of passing
vessels.
Captain Hudson supplied them with
what provisions he could spare and pro-
ceeded on his way, but had not gone far
before he was again spoken by several
boats which had the same poverty
stricken story to tell. The captain was
unable to render any further assistance,
however, and says that the men in the
boats told him that the storm had blown
down all their houses and destroyed all
the crops, and that the water has been
muddy so long that it was impossible to
catch fish, and that the inhabitants of the
island OF Bemini were actually starving.

MISS FLAGiER INDICTED.
To Be Placed on Trial for Shooting Ernest

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 31.-The
Grand Jury of the District of Columbia
this afternoon returned an indictment
against Miss Elizabeth FlagIer, daughter
of General D. NJ. Flagler, chief of ord
nance of the army. She is charged with
manslaughter in the shooting of Ernest
Green, young colored boy, last August
while he was picking up pear from under
a tree in the yard surrounding the Flagler
residence. Miss Flagler is now under bail
in the sum of $4,000, based upon the pro-
ceeding before the Coroner's jury. No
new process will be necessary, the District
Attorney states, to secure her presence in
court to plead to the indictment, and until
day is fixed for the trial, no proceedings
will occur in the case.

made and carried at sea and brought to
this port for sale must pay duty of 20 per
cent ad valorem, as if the soup had been
made and canned abroad to be imported
here.
The decision spoiled the symmetry of q
scheme devised by Benjamin Wood and
the Ocean Trading Company. They had a
notion that they could undersell the mar
ket for pure turtle soup by sending float
ing soup plant into the region which tur-
ties inhaDit. With this view they fitted
out the schooner Oracle T and sailed for
West Indian waters last spring.
The plan worked as expected on the
voyage. Turtles abounded and were easily
caught. The cooks boiled down and
timed into soup enough turtles to fill 544
cases, or the equivalent of 10000 quart
cans. They brought back only 100 empty
cans.
When entry was sought for the Oracle
on Monday the customs officers refused
to pass the soup as fish. This would have
given free entry. The officers seemed at
loss, however, how to assess the cargo.
since it had been gathered at sea and had
not been brought from another country.
Collector Klbreth heard the appeal of the
soup men yesterday. The ground of his
decision was that the soup was manu-.
factured article and had been imported.
He held that the place of manufacture
was immaterial. since it was not in this
country. The soup factory plant, includ-
ing the tin cans, was not subject to duty,
he SAID, because the expedition had been
equipped here

Each Day Brings Nothing Else
Than a Succession of the
Butcheries.
AN EXODUS OF CHRISTIANS
It Would Take Very Little to Provoke a
General Massacre of All For.
eigners.

BOSTON, MASS, Oct. 31.-A special
report received by the National committee
of the Armenian Relief Society to-day
from their special agent in Armenia fully
corroborates the awful details which have
been sent out. The report states that
even the dispatches sent out bv no means
begin to give an adequate idea of the ter.
rible state of affairs at present existing.
Each day is nothing else than a constant
succession of butcheries, men, women and
children, young and old, falling before the
merciless Turks and the still more merci-
less Kurds and native mountain allies OF
the Mussulmans.
The Turks themselves scoff at the idea
of foreign intervention, and the feeling oi
hostility against all Europeans and
Americans has increased so that it would
take only very little to provoke general
massacre of all foreigners in addition to
the Armenians.
OF late this feeling has been so pro.
nounced that general exodus of all such
has taken place. This action is being
taken at the advice of the Consuls, who
are making every effort in case of serious
upraising taking place.
Inc dispatch cites an instance of single
massacre near Ziflis, when 500 Armenians,
mostly old men, women and children,
were surrounded by Turkish and Kurd
cavalry, and, after being butchered, their
bodies were thrown into deep ravine,
where already hundreds of similar bodies
lay.
On another occasion, when 200 Armeni-
ans were gathered in church. the doors OF
the ediice were locked and the building set
on fire, cremating the entire number, those
who managed to jump through the win
dows being cut down and their bodies
thrown back into the flames.
The national committee has started a
monster petition, which will be circulated
all over the country and sent to Congress
as soon as it convenes, asking the United
States Government to make an official in
quiry.

COULDN'T CHECK THE MOB
Peace Officers Were PoWerless to
Prevent the Horror at
Tyler, Tex.
Three Judges Who Witnessed the
Torture of the Negro May
Be Arrested.

AUSTIN, TEX, Oct. 31.-Information
received by the Governor this morning
through an eyewitness to the Tyler horror
indicates that the Sheriff and other officers
were absolutely powerless to protect the
prisoner. After numbering Mrs. Bell the
negro left her mutilated body and walked
about mile and then got into passing
wagon and rode for several miles. Leay-
ing the wagon he made his way into
Gregg County and was found hiding in a
pen of cotton by a Deputy Sheriff of that
county.
The news of the crime had spread and
armed men were securing the country,
and as soon as the negro was found over
100 of them collected and forcibly took
him from the officer. Out from TYLER.
near the scene of his crime, they were met
by others, swelling the number to several
hundred. Hon. John Duncan and Others
made speeches to the mob in Tyler, advis-
ing that the law be permitted to take it's
course, but they would only agree to per-
NIT an examination to ascertain if the
negro was really the right man, and if not
they would not kill him. Judge Duncan
conducted the examination and his guilt
was clearly established The negro's
clothes were covered with blood and he
confessed that he murdered Mrs. Bell.
He was burned in the presence of the
three Judges of the State Court of Crirni-
nal Appeals, now holding court at Tyler.
They were among the lookers-on, and if
the Sheriff carries out Governor Culber-
sons orders they will be among the num-
