siderable business, but remained pTac-
ilcully unchanged from the previous

Cav, Anchor nor Began did any busi.
ho,s worthy OF mention, Anchor was
ouered quite freely slightly above the

tat II the option II not taken up that

II is midnight in Ncnico.

III is midnight in Venice
on the balcony of magnificent ducal
palace on the waters of the Adriatic sits
the Countess Gincciolli BY her side is Pete
Skidmore, the talented young American
painter. The brilliant but soft light of an
Italian moon floods the marble steps of
the palace and the crystal sea where shad-
owy gondolas wind in and out like the
may figures in some half-remembered
dream.
"Do you love mc?" asks the countess in
low, overripe tones.
Easy" says Pete, kissing her jcweled
hand.
AS he speaks a black gondola glides past,
and something Is thrown and falls at the
feet of the countess
"Corpo di Baccho" she exclaims. at is
a vcndettaw
The gondoa glidcs past again, and some
one in IT Kisses some words In italian
through his clenched teeth.
THAT must be a steamboat" says Pete,

tess. "1Io loves me to distraction. You
must n.y."
"Why?'
"Hc has declared vendetta"
whats that? Anything like a divi-
dcnd?"
DO not jest. Fly, oh n.y. ere It is too
late. ono kiss, and then farewell"
As Pete Skidmore kisses the countess an
other prolonged Kissing sound comes from
the gondola. Pete looks up at the summit
of Mount Ncsuvius in the distance.

other eruption" he muttcrs to himself
Pete then puts on his shoes and goes

A Communication From n spnniard In
vermont
Barre, VT, March 16, 1896.
mo- the lldltor of No Tree Press:

To the Editor of the Free Press
After you read these lines taken from
the New York World, reported from it's
correspondent, Mr.. w. Shaw Bowen, !
would wish you to answer me this qucs-
ton: DO you believe such fiends as those
bandits are worthy of being recognized as
beligerents?
AS for the Spanish crueltics let me tell
you as a man, that such cruelties do not
exist. If you would like to know the Span
ish character. please inquire in st. Adams,
Waterbury, Montpelier, or Barre, where
are or have been. Spaniards, ana you VIII
be greatly surprised to find them to be the
most quiet steady, good workers, and
sober people of the State of Vermont.
| can't deny that, as Mr.. sweeney Grom
Morrisvillc) says, we are very ignorant;
but If Mr. sweeney is Il true Ncrmonter he
will say that the Spaniards are not cruel.
! One of the fcw things that the Spanards
! know are those words of the great La
MARITIME who said "rhe father who leads
his sons by the path of passion is not
good father" You must bear in mind
/ that you are the editor of the most popu-
lar newspaper of Vermont and consc-
uuently the father of the opinion.
! Hoping of your Kindness that you Will
give the right and wrong to whoever 1t
belongs i'm the case of the Cuban rebellion
1 / remain yours respectfully,
ANGEL TRUEBA.

A slip from the Now York World. on
closed with the above, contains the fol-
lowing:
''Thc insurgents have burned the village
of Martinas. In the district of Guincs,
province of Havana, and have destroyed
by fire tobacco houses and stores az Ilato
and villages of San Matco, Galiano, Luis and
LaZo, situated i'm picturesque valley, and
the splendid tobacco plantations about the
village of Punta de la Cicrra They have
also burned the buildings on the estate of
Dos Hcrnanos at San Juan dc Martinez,
province of Pinar del Rio. The insurgents
have hanged three peaceful citizens and
mutilatcd two others near Colon"
The contest In cuba pariakcs largely OF
the character of guerilla warfare and
we have no doubt that, as is generally tho
case in such warfare, needless and more
, or less atrocious crucltics have
+ been practiccd on both sides
While we should rejoice to sec
Cuba free and Independent. we are not
satisfied that to recognize the insurgents
as bcligcrcnts would he of any service to
their cause; nor is it plain that they have
established a government which is en-
titled to be recognized as n bclligcrcnt
power. We hope that Spain may yet see
the incxpediency Of continuing tho present
costly and Improbable contest, and con.
? code independence and solf-govcrnment tC
