able shrubs on my place, and some OF
them are unfortunately situated very
close to the street. On Sundays people
who walk out for little fresh air
reach over the fence and break punches
off Towering shrubs in a most aggra.
waiting way. It's nothing to them that
a tree is the result of ten years care
and waiting. They care nothing about
the damage done by breaking OIL
a bunch and splitting limb. The gal
liant young man wants some flowers
to deck his best girl with, and here's
chance without costing cent. It's USE
less to speak to them. The damage is
done so quickly that unless you stand
in front of the shrub it's gone before
help can come. Pedestrians on their
way to church are the worst. They
think nothing of nipping bouquet OH.

past will often stop and the accommo-
dating man will jump out and rip OIL

"But the bicycle man, as I said before.
bless him! He pedals along with his
eyes fixed wildly onsthe future. Some
object in the dim distance has his at
tention. He looks forward with
anxiety, yes, even pain, showing in
every line of his face. He says he's hav-
ing a splendid time, and hope he tells
the truth, for he looks neither to the
right nor to the left. He might be pass
ing a field of the finest roses, but he
wouldn't waste a glance at them. On

ALARM IN HAVANA.

Insurgents Blow Up Bridges Near tho
City with Dynamite.
Havana, June is. The city was
startled and alarmed Saturday night at
nine o'clock by the noise of two sue
cessive explosions which shook the
ground for long distance ana was
heard for several miles. CONSERVATION
prevailed for time, as it was feared
that this was prelude to an attack or
series of similar explosions. Excited
throngs rushed to the streets. while All
armed party proceeded in the direction
from which the detonations had been
heard.
It was soon found that the stone
bridges of Christina and Concha and
the aqueduct of Fernando Septimo
were the points that had suffered from
the dynamite. The bridges were par
tally destroyed and the pipes ON the
aqueduct, upon which the city is de.
pendent for it's water supply, were
much damaged. It cannot yet be stated
how extensive is the damage done or
how long it will require to remedy it..
There is no doubt that the dynamite
which caused this wreck was placed by
agents Of the insurgents. 1t has been
their determination, announced some
time since, to cut off the water supply
of Havana and so serve to make it Us
nearly uninhabitable rs possible.
It is believed that the insurgents are
bent upon investing Havana by cut
ting off as much as possible the supply
of necessities, though not by actually
besieging it. All fruits and vegetables
and fresh meats are unprecedentedly
high priced and difficult to obtain, and
milk is of the poorest, such as is brought
in being much adulterated before it is
delivered. There is much fever and
smallpox has broken out, which, in the
unwholesome state of affairs, threatens
to become epidemic. Many are suffer-
ing from measles, and there is much in
festival trouble among the inhabitants
ewing to poor and insufficient food.
The failure of the water supply under
these conditions is a dire calamity.
Madrid, June ia council of Spar
ish generals in Cuba has decided to sus-
pend operations against the insurgents
owing to the rains.
