CONSULATE GUARDED.
Havana Sentiment Against the
United States Very Bitter.

HAVANA, Dec. 1.-THE United States con-
sulate in this city is under a special guard
of armed police. This precaution is taken by
the Spanish authorities, owing to the fear
that the indignation expressed by the Spanish
sympathizers against the United States would
find vent in an attack upon the consulate.
There have been fresh signs of the hostile
feeling against the United States in view of
the news from there Of the ardent sympathy
felt with the insurgents over the death of
Antonio Maceo, and the allegations there of
the manner in which he was killed.
The steamer Alicante has arrived here
having on board l. go troops. Private advices
give assurance of the death from dysentery
of the well-known insurgent leader, Gen.
Manuel Sauerez, who had been protege Of
Campos ever since the peace of Zanjon. He
still had Gen. Campos confidence at Villa
Clara previous to the generals voyage to
Manzanilia, but at that time he proved so
traitorous almost to lead to the death of
Campos at PreIejo.

The Waynesboro Citizen says il is a
common sight these days to see wagons
loaded down with guano going into the
country; sight that was seldom seen
last winter. The business of the fertilizer
factories in this city and section is largely
increased over that of last season. These
facts, however, do not necessarily indicate
the planting of a larger cotton acreage.
Last winter many farmers voluntarily
made a horizontal reduction of their fer
tilizer bill, and others who would have
used guano found it difficult to obtain.
This winter farmers have the money to
pay for the fertilizers. and many of them
probably consider it cheaper to invest in
commercial fertilizers than to make and
depend upon homemade stuff.

had been pretty nearly all over the IN

wonders they were continually selecting
novelties to carry back home with them.
They had collected specimens OF pretty
nearly everything animate and inanlmate

them to dispose of their collections dur

but when they We're ready to embark
and leave Mexican shores the brlgades
were marched down to the wharf. They
were lined up and ordered to ground

release all animals held captive by the

muzzles of the frowning cannon from
the fort, and were unarmed, ana there
was nothing to be done but to obey the
order, and the animlas We're released, and
such a collection as went skipping off
was a surprise to the officers who were
in command.
THE men had the smaller animals con-
cealed beneath their capes and coats,
perched on their shoulders and hidden in

whole collection resembled the march of
Noah's collection in the ark. The men
grumbled at the order, which they de-
clared was useless and unreasonable but
they obeyed and went away without their

lying in promiscuous heap on the wharf
after the men left. 1t was one of the
most novel sights 1 ever saw"
