FROM THE ARMY TO A PHILA-
DELPHIA FRIEND.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1O.-Edward
Frau, Of No. 1886 Columbia avenue, re-
ceiyed a letter last week from Colonel
BrauliO Pena. of the Cuban insurgent
army, who has several times been re-
ported killed. Colonel Pena, It will be
remembered, made two unsuccessful at
tempts before finally reaching Cuba to
fight for the freedom Of his native
country. After having been arrested
with other filibusters at Wilmington,
Del. and at Nassau he successfully
conducted a small expedition OF men,
which reached the island with about
600 rifles, 100000 rounds of ammuni-
ton and two oannons, in the early part
of this year. Among his companions
was Osgood. the well-known half-back
of the football team Of the University
of Pennsylvania. Pena is now a colo
mel in command OF 500 cavalrymen in
the district Of Camaguay, under Gem
eral Calixto Garcia. In his letter Pena
says:
my good friend Frau, want you TO
know that ] am well in this beautiful
country of Cuba, and can say with
great pleasure that our course is pro-
crossing without any trouble. I be-
lieye this island will be free in a very
short time. The Spaniards are dying
Of exhaustion, and can accomplish very
little either by sea or land. If / don't

ions or goods from the interior into the

The violence of the persecution
Disguised even the kanakas. In
1882 Kaahumanu died, and though
Kinau continued to carry out the
measures OF the preachers the King
emancipated himself from their con-

abolished, aud the Catholics enjoyed
a brief respite. But it was not to
continue long. In 1885, Kinau re-
gained her influence over the Kings
mind and the persecution broke out
with redoubled fury, The annals OF

From the month Of June our
Christians were requested to attend

testants. Luke was one OF the first
who was arrested and conducted to
