of the family could be taken out, or even
warned they were shut in by flames and
burned almost to n crisp. When the ex.
plosion occurred Mrs. Malm rushed fran.
tically from the dwelling and screamed
for help. She then returned to the house,
soon reappearing with her 3-year-old child
in her arms. Pieces of burning clothing
still adhered to the burned flesh of the
babe, and it died shortly afterwards The
screams of the mother had by this time
brought the neighbors to the scene.
The fire department was summoned and
the firemen rushed into the rooms and re-
moved the inmates, while water was
thrown upon the flames.

the doctors, and it was found they were
comparatively light. She was removed to

INV CUBAN REBELLION.
Fifty Thousand Men Now in the
Insurgent- Army,
THRBB-FOURTHs OF THEM ARMED.

Nineteen Filibustering Expeditions from
This Country Have Been Successfully
Landed-Statement of Gentleman who
for Forty-flve Years Resided on the Island
NEW YORK, May 25.-A gentleman for
forty-fve years resident of Cuba, in an
Interview with representative Of the As
sociated Press, gave the following timely
resume of the past and present of the
Cuban rebellion of today or that initiated
Feb "a, 1895 Owing to his interests in
Cuba and his strong sympathy for the
Cubans he refused to allow his name to be
used.
The present rebellion" he said, "was
devised and planned by Cubans in New
York, and had many active agents among
the best classes in central and eastern
Cuba EARLY in 1895 many of the colored
or working classes were idle. Then on the
gath of February, 1896 number raised
the flag Of rebellion and demanded Cuba
libre, or free Cuba. The standard of revolt
was set up in a number of places in eastern
Cuba, rich province in which the blacks
greatly outnumbered the whites. The
blacks joined the petty leaders.
simultaneously in central Cuba, small
parties formed At that time the move
ment was not deemed a really serious one
However, the small parties maintained
their independence and grew in number
and strength Then they had few or no
arms, but all had the death dealing ma
chete.
"The Spanish officials, not believing that
the movement was serious, so informed
the government, and made little OF the
whole uprising. Later spain became much
alarmed and sent out General Martinez
Campos, who, instead OF bringing the long
promised reforms, ghtsoldiers' whereas
If he had come alone, duly authorized TO
adjust all the differences, the extension ol
the rebellion would have been prevented
and settlement reached.
While the insular events were multi
plying Generals MaXlmo Gomez ana An
tonic Maceo landed with considerable
following. After long and dangerous
march they joined small party OF rebels
under General Jose Maceo brother OF
Antonio lhey were joined later by the
late Jose Marti, who mad been the Ire ana
chief organizer OF the Cuban Junta In New
York. Then General Crombet ana ms
party landed. They were ambushed by
the Spaniards, and Crombet was Killed
and the survivors made prisoners, and to-
day are in the Moro Castle at Havana.
Gomez is a native of Santo Domingo, w.
l.. the MaceOs are blacks. When it be-
came known that Gomez, Marti and MaCeO
had landed hundreds of Cubans abandoned
their homes and joined them. The recruits
were blacks and whites. The rebels made
many prisoners, and thus secured arms
In the early days of the rebellion arms and
supplies were sent to the rebels by their
friends and sympathizers, and smuggled
into the country. Then, as now, they had
more men than could be armed.

bewail anything like a sectional spirit.
The truth is, there has never been q
moment OF time since the organization
Of the country that New England has
not been v~indictive, selfish and SEQ
tional. Its idea OF a perfect union Is
to agree with Massachusetts, and when
the people Of any state dare TO differ
with the ruling sentiment OF the money
changers Of Massachusetts, then they
are unwelcome and they are no longer
a success. We expect to see Massa-
chusetts strong for free silver just so
soon as the masses Of her people obtain
the proper information to vote intelli-
gently on the subject. They haven't
it now, but we believe they will have 1t
in spite of the press that misleads them
and the interest-gatherers who fatter
their vanity by telling them they are
more honest than the bad men Of the
west. 1t is a great pity that there
cannot be a great silver mine found
cutting its way through the mountains
OF New Hampshire and Vermont. It
would make all New England anxious
for free silver within twelve months,
for it, presence would make them study
and understand the silver question.
