ular monthly reception last night at

continued without intermission until two
O'Clock. 1t was a very pleasant affair.
h Crescent Club was originally or
ganized as a euchre club, but as the
members spent more of the evening in
dancing than they did in playing cards,
it was changed to a dancing club. At

couples present, among whom were a

Live birds were used as targets and the
wind drove them directly at the marks

order to drop them within bounds. Some
of the incoming birds after being perfo-
rated with shot were blown by the force
OF the wind beyond the boundary line.
Davenport, by a u of thirteen gained
by some brilliant shooting, led in the
first half of the match, Work and Staff
ord were next in the tally, McAlpin
missed his first four birds. and Hoey had
every time but losing the birds out of
bounds. Two OF his birds were so riddled
that it was a wonder they held together
until over the dead line: as it was, the
dogs refused to retrieve the tangles OF
Gathers and lead. Hoey withdrew be-
fore the close of the match.
Until the final rou1ds the four left in

April 2.-Jose Ramon del Vale. a

province of Matanzas, has resigned his
position and brought his family here He
sails for Mexico tomorrow. He states as
IA reason that he can no longer stand the
excesses committed by Spanish troops.
Senior del Vale is man of culture and
intelligence and has no leaning toward
the insurgents. His testimony is there
fore unbiased. He says: spanish troops
are killing innocent people right and

idea what atrocities are being commit

''In many parts of the island, the
troops pillage stores, residences and es-
tates and Kill unarmed men. Unques-
tionably they are more to he feared than
the insurgents. There is no safety for
life or property outside of the cities and
large towns. While Colonel Nicuna's
column was at Joyellanos three weeks
ago, they met three men on the outskirts
coming toward the town on the main
highway The men were unarmed.
They were halted and asked for their
papers. They had none and were i'm

At Their Old Tricks.

NEW ORLEANS, April 3.-The st,
Landry difficulties, growing out of the
approaching election, were renewed at
Washington to-day, when the town was
occupied by body of armed men and
the supervisor of registration refused 10
open the office. The white supremacy,
or Fontenot faction in the parish, have
declared their purpose to allow no
negroes to register or vote, and wherever
the registrar has gone they have sur
rounded his office and have frightened off
the negroes or whipped those who tried to
register. Yesterday the registrar reached
Washington. The opposing tThOmpsonl
faction turned out in large force there,
thoroughly armed to protect the negro
voters and allow them TO register, where
upon the supervisor of regi stration,
alarmed al the situation, closed his Office
and departed, preventing all citizens,
white as well as black, from registering
and thus practically DISTINGUISHING them.
Most Of the voters went before justice OF
the peace and made affidavit and will de-
mand to vote at the coming election.
