they appeared on the side where they
were least expected. Last night some
nameless Marion of Maceo's flying col.

the town, and at last accounts had either
made successful getaway or else was

While Gen. Weyler has been picnicking in
the Rubi Hills, telephoning in one day what
he was going to do and telephoning the
next why he didn't do it, Maceo seems to
have been saving wood industriously. The
Cuban general CASUAL remarked some time
ago, Just as he was on the eve OF being
annihiiated for the fourth or fifth time by
Gen. Weyler, that he would send few
men down to shoot up the suburbs of Ha-
vana. The outside world, 1T must be con-
fessed, looked upon this as a delightfully."-
nervy bluff which must be admired for its
ingenious recklessness. Weyler. in his in

difference between the students OF the
East and the West The latter are more

on the other hand, the body OF students
at the Eastern cole geS seem to pursue their
studies in very perfunctory manner ana
seem TO shirk as III Gca "a tney possibly can.
This observation Mr. Blker has drawn from
the Eastern colleges which he attended ana
from visits made to a number OF others.
Where he Is now teaching, he says, the
majority OF the students ask for subsidiary
reading in addition to their regular studies
and in every way try to maze their grasp
OF the subject which they are ON as COM

@ REPRESENTATIVE A. S. BERRY. of
N Kentucky, is a guest at the Riggs

In conversation last night he said that
he thinks President Cleveland has decided
upon some plan of actionin the Cuban affair
which will be embodiedin the annual mes
sage. He incines to the opinion that the
President will fix some time limit to the
war, after which the United States Will IN
terfere.- This, Representative berry THINKS,
Will be welcome news to the whole country,
He has noticed in his own section, and mas
been told that the same sentiment exists in
other parts OF the country. that there Is u
general feeling in favor OF interference on
the part OF our government to put stop
to the work Of blood and destruction on
the little island.
Especially in those parts Of the country
where sugar and tobacco manufacturing
interests are strongest is the desire Tor q
cessation OF the struggle general. Even
should the President make no recommemda-
ton. Mr.. Berry thinks that the sentiment
in Congress is strong enough to enable That
body to take independent action.

sPAIN'S CRUELTY.
ITO His Excellency, Grover Cleveland,
President:
''Sir: The press reports that nave ceeh
published for months past, aGd' are peihS
daily published, from the Island OF CuDa'
Indicate that the war being waged Dy the
Cuban people for liberty on the one SIDE
and by the forces OF the Spanish govern
ment for their subjugation on the other
has degenerated into Il bloody and Hercl-
less system of determination, in which
women, children, the aged and infirm, and
other non-combatants are subjected to in
human and barbarous treatment by the
Spanish soldery.
While we are disposed to discredit the
enormity of the crimes reported and make
due allowance for the disposition to mag
niry their Importance, the occurrence OF
similar atrocity in Cuba during the ten
years of 1868 to 1878, all OF which have
been, unfortunately, too well verified, con-
stitute reasonable and valid grounds for be-
lief that the atrocities reported are actu-
ally committed.
You cannot be obliviOus to the cruel
character of "A government which condeniii-
ed executed and allowed to be barbarously
