THE insurgents burned sixty-two houses
and huts at La Salad, province Of Havana,
Cuba, last week.
DISPATCHES received at London from
Odessa say it is generally understood in
official circles that the formal cession by
China of Port Arthur to Russia will be rati-
fed during the visit of LII Hung Chang, who
is now en- route to attend the coronation of
the Gear at Moscow ", where he will repre-
sent the Emperor of China.
In response to new request, the Rus sian
government has decided to send number
of members of the Red Cross Society to

party will proceed by the way OF Massowah.

made to its passage. The amount OF the
pension granted is $1,000 per annum.
IT is stated on reliable authority that

THE Impartiale published at Madrid.
scolds the Spanish government for laxity OF
| spirit against the attitude of the American
| congress. This same paper states that more
than ever the effects of the Cuban insurrec-
| ton are severely felt in the farming dis =
tricts, where, at the present time, 1t is hard
to engage laborers, Mr.. Burnett, manager
OF the Peninsula Company's big holdings at
Maco, says he found 1t almost impossible TO
secure sufficient help TO work his land, so
many young men had gone to Cuba. An
other gentleman, who owns large tract
near Toledo, says that out OF forty hands
| twelve had gone to the war. Anyone who
takes a trip through the agricultural dis
| tricts will be convinced beyond doubt that
the present strain on the country Is terrible,
| and one which Spain cannot stand, without
serious injury, for any lengh Of time.

America Walks Spanish.

This is what the Spanish Captain
Concas thinks of us or, rather, part of
it; for these are only extracts from his
recent address before the Geographical
Society of Madrid:

has such effect on its people that the

with the Indians, have the same shaped
skulls. - They care only for the
almighty dollar and do not care to

istration are the most immoral in the
world; and at banquets no one cares to
sit next to politician or member of
the administration. In normal
college saw four thousand strong girls
working as carpenters. At West
Point the cadets were locked in cells,
studying mathematics and spending
their spare moments in caring for their
linen. They were even afraid to drill
in presence of my staff and SELF -
In the United States the people are
neither we'll instructed nor ignorant,
and are only half cultured. The United
States is not America, but should be
called Western Europe. Mix the good
with the bad, and it is impossible 10 say
whether the United States is an ele-
ment in civilization or a great danger
to it,"
1t is for Americans to study these
statements little; to laugh at the alb
surd part of them, and avail themselves
of some little grains of truth with which
they may be scattered Every Where

The Ape Spoke.

This is one of W. q. Coup's menag-
erie "reminiscences: Early one day
countryman handed my man-eating ape
a piece of tobacco, which it chewed
with great pleasure. The word was
passed around that the animal would
chew tobacco, and several gave him
plugs. Finally one gave him a piece
that was filed with cayenne pepper.
The ape bit it, then, smarting with in
dignatiOn, snapped the fastening of his
chain and yelled: Let me at i'm, the
murtherin' ijit. DIN hav the loife av
i'm, or me name amt Mahoney.' Then
he started through the crowd with a
handspike ready to strike with, but the
culprit escaped. l locked the ape
weeks salary, and it was the last time
l had any trouble with him."

Bribery in Politics.

Without venturing any opinion upon
the scandals which cast a shadow over
the last act of the late English admin
istration, it is sufficiently notorious that
money, directly or indirectly, plays a
considerable part in the organization of
English politics. No doubt long expe-
rience, and the invaluable resources OF
a crown which is the fountain-head OF
honors, enable English statesmen to do
their bribery delicately. Although it
is not true, as Burke said, that "vice
loses half its evil by losing all its gross
ness" there is no doubt that political
corruption is sublimated into inoffen-
siveness under our political system

THE board of directors of the Philadelphia
Grocers' and Importers Exchange has
adopted resolution in favor OF a gold
standard currency. The action was taken
in answer to communications from The
Chamber OF Commerce of the State OF New
York and the Boston Merchants Association
urging the Exchange to actively cooperate
with them in favor of the maintenance OF
the existing gold standard.
A BILL has been introduced in the United
States senate, providing that the secretary
of the interior be authorized to place on the
pension roll, at rate of $50 per month, all
soldiers and sailors who, while in the line
of duty, were wounded in the face so as to
cause the removal of the under jaw, or any
part thereof, and forming resection,
thereby totally destroying the power of
mastication, necessarily resulting in other
distressing disabilities and ailments, thereby
incapacitating such soldier or sailor from
the performance OF manual labor.
IT is expected that fully 10000 people will
attend the National Christian Endeavor
Convention to be held in Washington in
July. The formal opening of the conven-
ton will occur on Thursday morning, July
8, in three great tents, which will be pitched
upon the White Lot, just south Of the treas
ury department, executive mansion, and
state, war and navy buildings. On Satur'
day the Endeavorers will march to the Capt.
toll, where, it is hoped, permission will be
obtained for brief address to be delivered
from the steps of the Capitol. The local
committees are preparing for entertaining
the hosts of visitors, and choruses, aggregat'
ing 1000 voices, are rehearsing the conven-
ton music.

The Struggle in Cuba.

The second struggle of importance
by the Cubans for freedom has now
lasted for more than year. The Gu
bans are still unconquered, and al
though their actual fighting strength is
probably only one-quarter the fighting
strength of the Spanish in the island,
the advantage of the struggle may be
said truthfully to lie with them. The
summer rains begin this month, and
this fact, with the approaching heat,
will soon put stop to further cam
paigning for several months. Fever, it
is expected, will now play worse havoc
with the Spanish soldiers than insur-
gents bullets or machetes. 1t is agreed
generally that Spain has nearly 10000
men in arms in Cuba. 1t is also agreed
generally that at no time have the in
surgents had more than 100000 men un.
der arms. There seems to be no doubt
that Generals Maceo and Gomez have
roamed at will through the island and
that General Weyler, like his predeces-
sor, General Martinez Campos, has
been practically "bottled up" in Ha-
vana. The insurgents adopt guerilla
warfare. The Spaniards do not seem
to be able to match them in that kind
VI stIuSSlc. nc ldl6eU exploit Oh
note by General Gomez was brilliant
raid by night on the fortified city of
Santa Clara on March "a. His troops
dashed clear into the city's plaza, cap
tured the ammunition that had been
brought there for safety, and after re-
naming in town four hours, left in
safety. The boasts of various Spanish
generals that they would put down the
rebellion in certain number of months
have been unfulfilled in every case.
Stories of atrocity, equalled only by the
well authenticated deeds of the war
twenty years ago, are reaching this
country day by day. Old men, women,
children, and inoffensive non-combat-
ants are said to have been killed ruth
lessly. Many Spanish " Victories" the
Cubans say, consist of these butcheri.r,
a an assert that they are using only civ
illzed methods of warfare, and that
they do not and will not retaliate for
these alleged butcheries. The lack of
artillery is said to be keenly felt by the
insurgents. Until they can fortify a
city they cannot hope to have even d
temporary home for their provisional
government, nor expect to fight de-
cisive battles with the Spaniards.

Spanish Yankees.

1t is manifest that the Spanish mobs
did not know the difference between
the Yankees and the rest of the peo-
pie of this country when they tore
around the cities of Spain, few weeks
ago, crying for the death of the
Yankees. Nearly one-half of the mem
bers of the house of representatives
who voted for Spain last Monday were
Yankees, the representatives of Yankee
constituencies - real native Yankees
from Massachusetts,, Maine, Vermont
and Rhode Island. These Yankees
confronted the American people for the
sake of Spain, risked their political for
tunes in the interest of Spain, injured
their party for Spain, and upheld the
despotism of Spain in Cuba. Had it
not been for eleven of the Yankee
members of the house of representa-.
tives, Spain would have had but small
show there. The two senator's, also,
who fought the hardest for Spain in the
senate are Yankees, one of them from
the old Yankee state of Massachusetts,
and the other from the Yankee state of
Maine-both of them Yankees of Yam
kee stock. Spain would have had hardly
a leg to stand on in the senate but for
these Yankees.
1t was, therefore, rough in Spain to
desire that the Yankees should die, or
to wish for their killing. The Span
iards ought to discriminate between
Yankees, and also between Yankees
and other natives. If the Spaniards
had known everything they would have
cried, "Long live the Spanish Yam
keesl" "Death to the Yankee Yam
keesp
1t is too bad that we feel it our duty
to tell Spain that these few Spanish
Yankees in congress do not represent
the sentiment of tie Yankee people in
regard to Cuba any more than they
represent that of the American people
at large. AS it was with st. Paul. so
it is with them; they have law in
their members which wars against the
law in their mind-that is to say, the
Yankee mind, which, when truly Yam
kee, is always for freedom. The Yam
KEGS, or nearly all of them, as Spain
ought to be told, are in favor of Cuba;
and so, when Spain again takes up the
case of the Yankees she ought to cry
for the demise of the true Yankees
only, and for long life to the Spanish
Yankees, who are but small crowd
anyhow.-New York Sun.

to be utterly unfounded-in fact, manufaC
