Christmas in the War.

The snow still fell; the keen wind. raw
worst weather in God S forlornest, bleak
est spot of ground. that Christmas day
of go, on the Rappahannock, half mile
below the town of Fredericksburg, says
| Harpers Weekly. But come, pick up
your PROSTATE pluck, you shivering pri-
vate. Surely there is enough dampness
around without adding to it your tears.
Lets laugh, boys!"
Hello, Johnny!"
Hello yourself, Yank!"
Merry Christmas, JOHNNY"
Same TO you, Yank!"
''Say, Johnny, got anything to trader"
''Parched corn and tobacco-the size Of
our Christmas, Yank."
Cali right, you shall have some of our
coffee and sugar and pork Boys, find
the boats"
'Such boats! see the children sailing
them on the small lakes in our Central
Park. Some Yankee, desperately hum
cry for tobacco, invented them for trad
ing with the Johnnies. They were hid
away under the banks of the river for
successive relays of pickets. -r
We got out the boats. An old handker-
chief answered for: a. sail. We loaded
them with coffee, sugar, pork, and set
the SAIL and watched them slowly creep
to the other shore. And the Johnnies?
To see them crowd the bank, and push
and scramble to he first to seize the
boats, going into the water; and stretch
ing out their long arms! Then when
they pulled the boats ashore and stood
in group over the cargo, ard to hear
their ordinations: "Hurrah for hog!"
''Say, that's not roasted rye, but genuine
coffee. Smell it, you uns.' "And sugar,
too" Then they divided the consign-
ment. They laughed and shouted,
Reckon you uns been good to we uns
this Christmas Day, Yanks.' Then they
put parched corn, tobacco, ripe perstm-
mons, into the boats, and sent them
back to u.s. And we chewed the parcned
corn smoked real Virginia leaf, ate per-
simmons, which, If they weren't very
filing, at least contracted our stonachs
to the size of our Christmas dinner. And
so the day passed. We shouted, Merry
Christmas. Johnny" They shouted,
Same to you Yank." And we forgot the
biting wind, the chilling cold; we for
got those men oyer there were our enc
mics, whom it might be our duty to shoot
before evening.
g We had bridged the river-spanned the
bloody chasm. We were brothers, not
foes, waving salutations of good will in
the name of the Babe of Bethlehem, on
Christmas Day, in 1862. At the very
front of the opposing armies the Christ
Child struck truce for us-broke down
the wall of partition becamme our peale.
We exchanged gifts. We shouted greet
ings back and forth. We kept Christ
mas, and our hearts were lighter for it
and our shivering bodies were not quite
so cold. 5...,

HORRIBLE STORY AGAIN TOLD.
An Armenian Refuge Tells of the Mas
sacre in MarsoVan.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Mharim Dal-
majian, an Armenian refugee who re-
Gently escaped from Turkey and has just
arrived here, said last night:
''The massacre in Marsovan occurred
November last. The first thing done on
the morning of the massacre was to put
"a guard of Turkish soldiers around the
American college. This was to protect
the college from attack. Two or three
houses in the town in which naturalized
American citizens lived were also guard
ed. The Turkish soldiers began by kill
ing in cold blood all the Armenians
whom they found in the market. They
did this partly with guns, partly with
bayonets and partly with hatchets.
"Then they killed all the Armenians
whom they found in the streets. They
did not, however, enter any Armenian
houses, except four, where several
women were assaulted and killed.
Meanwhile each of the five mosques
in the town had Turk crying out every
few minutes that the Armenians were
sacking the mosque and killing the
Turks. This added greatly to the pub
lie excitement and added the Turkish
populace to the soldlery.
"Over 1000 persons were killed in all
the massacres in Marsovan. 1t was
freely acknowledged by the soldiers that
the Armenians were killed by direct Or
ders from Constantinople. There are
altogether 100000 Armenians under
Turkish dominion and if they remain
under that rule for 10 years longer they
will be exterminated or converted to
Mohammedanism,
Between $4,000 and 10000 Armen-
ians have been massacred up to the pres
ent time. The governor of the district
is now busy arresting all the young Ar
menian men whom the soldiers or police
find in the streets. The result of this
massacre is that all the young nen are
keeping in the houses and sending out
the old men to buy food.

WERE RECOMMITTED
Cuban Resolutions Sent Back
for Conference.
THE MOTION MADE BY SHERMAN
His object to Modify Them in Certain
Respects-Is Anxious to Secure
Vote.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Sherman
gave notice in the senate that he would
move to recommit the Cuban resolutions
to the conference committee. Sherman
said the object was to secure such a modi-
fcation of them as will satisfy the scru-
pies of some of the senators who are op-
posing the resolutions, and to secure-a
vote at an early day.
At 2 O'Clock Mills introduced resolu-
tions directing the president to request
Spain to give local self-government to
Cuba, and in the event of Spanish re-
fusal the president is authorized to take
possession of Cuba, using military and
naval forces for that purpose, and hold
ing it until the people of Cuba can es.
tablish local self-government.
vote was about to be taken on Sher-
mans resolution when Allen interrupted
with a speech on general subject.
At 8 O'Clock the motion of Senator
Sherman to refer the Cuban resolutions
to the conference committee was adopted
without division.
The senate at once turned to other
business, while the galleries did not
realize for some time that the Cuban re-
solutions had been sent back. to confer
ence. The chair announced Sherman,
Morgan and Lodge as the senate confer
ees.
The legislative appropriation bill was
then taken up.

Weyler Incensed and the Colonel Sent

TAMPA, Fla, March pa letter from
a Spanish source gives report of an en-

DEs MONIES, March 23.-Dispatches
from Creston, Red Oak, Jefferson, Allan

heavy fall of snow over Ethe state. All
