PATRIOTS HUMANE.

Another order has been issued which
effectually discontinues all Masonic
work. Any Cuban known to be Ma
| son Is promptly placed in prison. The
people of this country have absolutely
no conception Of the murderous brutali-
ties carried Oh by the Spanish authOri-
ties. On the other hand, the patriots
are very humane, for instance. at pres
ent they have the inhabitants OF Ha-
vana quite at their mercy. 1t lies within
their power to shut Off the supply OF
gas, and thus deprive the residents Of
motive power. fuel and light They can
also poison the water.
Possibly, If there was no one in the
city except Spanish soldiers some such
method might be resorted to. but mas
much as there are a great many resi-
dents of Cuba in the city who are secret
" in sympathy with the struggle for
liberty, the insurgent leaders have set a
strong guard over both these important
supply stations in ored that no unscru-
pulous set of men can tamper with
either the water or gas.
"The smallpox is raging much more
fiercely than yellow fever. The small
pox exists among the insurgents as well
er is confined almost wholly to the
Spanish army. The effects of these
diseases are the more dreadful because
there are no effective means of quaran-
tine.
My friends also advise me that the
people who foolishly fioclSed to the cit
les, when ordered to do SO some weeks
ago by General Weyler, are beginning
to see their folly. as there is great
lack Of food. The Spanish officers are
anxious 20 have the war continue as
promotions and changes are continually
being made. There is at present no
sentiment whatever among the citizens
of Cuba In favor of annexation with the
United States. Their whole desire Is
to be a free and independent pople,
and whilst it is true that some time ago
many of the people were in favor or
annexation, that is all gone now.

PROPOSITIONS OF

Would Give Cubans Positions in the
Spanish COrtes at Madrid.
THE OFFER WOULD BE REJECTED
Plight of People in Havana. Those
Who Sought the City for Safety Now
Regret the Movem ment..FOod and
Supplies Somewhat Short,

New York, July S.--Information has
reached this city that Captain-Ge General
Weyler, in command of the Spanish
army In Cuba, is making overtures to
the Cuban patriots to end the war He
has offered. on behalf of the Spanish
Government according to this informa- :
ton, to give Cuba representation In the
Spanish senate. which offer has been
refused. News also comes OF a procla =
nation by the Captain-G General which
Is OF widespread interest throughout the
world. He is said to have ordered the
arrest and Imprisonment of all Cubans
who are known to the Spanish soldiers
to be Masons.
1t is ascertained that the insurgents
have the people of Havana at their
mercy. as the latter are short Of food
supplies. The insurgents also declare
that they have 1t in their power to
poison the water supply of Havana and
thus force the Spanish stronghold to
capitulate.
Mr.. l. P. Henriaues. who for four
years during President Har.ison's ad-
ministration served as United States
Consul to Cuba, being stationed at Port
Cardenas, and whose office Is In the
Potter building. and who resides at No.
l5O West One Hundred and Twenty
sixth street is in close touch with the
movements of the Cuban patriots. He
told reporter today that he had just
received advices from his friends on the
island. The latest overture of Captain
General Weyler tothe insurgent leaders
has proved as futile as previous offers of
similar character. Captain General
Weyier," said ex-Consul Henriques,
has been authorized by the Spanish
Government to offer the patriots thirty
representatives in the Spanish Cortes
at Madrid. Fifteen OF these proposed
representatives are to be chosen by the
Queen Regent and are to be Spaniards
The other fifteen are to be elected by the
Captain-Gsneral OF Cuba from a COM
pany of thirty who are to be elected
by the people of Cuba.
THE leaders Of the rebellion are far
too wise to accept any such overture,
for they can readily see that under this
arrangement they would have no voice
In the affairs OF their country. They
will stop at nothing short Of absolute in
dependence.

add many new features, with the result that crowds assembled on each day to witness the various contests. Tickets were resold at premium, and even trees overlooking the oval were thronged with sightseers. The second evening, says foreign exchange, the tournament was attended by the gov ernor general, Lord Harris, who, as a famous athlete, enjoyed the capital sport provided. Little Miss Bracl1en- bury, attired in the royal artillery uni form and escorted by troops, rode up to his excellency and presented him with programme. Immediately afterward bugle sounded, and the military tattoo commenced. All the tunes were Scotch, the pipers of the Royal Scots regiment opening the proceedings. Five hundred men next marched in line, carrying colored lanterns, while twenty military bands concluded the music with a splendid rendering of the 'Old Hundredth. Driving by the royal artil lery, and exhibition of skill with Indian clubs by two native regiments, tent begging, trick-riding, and gun drill by men of the royal navy were warmly ap- preciated by the multitude. The Par see volunteers from Peona were espe- cially popular.

HOno-o ..1-.AIeU BY FIRE. The Animals Seized with Strange Mad
 ness When in Peril.
 The panic that is inspired in the minds of horses by phenomenon so strange as fire can be understood only by those who have witnessed a fire in large stable where numbers of horses are kept. says the St. Louis Globe-Dem- ocrat. The scene that ensues is one of the most friGhtful that can be conceived. The horses are rescued from the burn ing building with the utmost difficulty and only with the most serious peril to the lives and limbs of the rescuers. The animals go mad with fright, rear, kick and dash from side to side so wild ly as to make an attempt at rescue as perilous as an adventure on a hostile battery. When rescued they will often break away from those who hold them and charge back at full speed into the burning building, there to perish in the flames They resist every attempt to take them out. They have been known to tear their rescuers with their teeth, to throw them to the ground and tram pie on them, to kick out their brains. As the fury of the flames increases so does the panic of the unfortunate ami mals. They scream out in their agony as the fro rornheS their bodies. vet will they not 1or ,.44 ,-llo seek safety in the open air. They are crazed with fear, and yet remain to be burned to death when a ten seconds run would carry them to liberty. But they never make the run, and, as a rule, are burned alive in their stalls, where alone they seem to fancy they can find security. There is but one way to get them out and that is to blind them with some convenient cover, such as 2 coat or a blanket, and thus, unable to see the dangers about them, trembling in every limb, apparently ready to fall to the earth with fear, they may be led out. But the cover must not be too quickly removed from their eyes; in fact, it should not be taken off until the animals are out Of sight of the burning building, otherwise they will break away from the persons leading them and, in spite of the stoutest eff forts at restraint, will dash back to per ish in the flames

A PRIESTS .,oBLE WORK.
His Glorious Self-SHcriice in the Min
 nesota Forest Fire.

His Glorious Self-SscrlHce in the M1n-
 nesota Forest Fire.
 The exploit of the brave engineer who piloted his train through the tor nado of flame in the Minnesota forest fires and rescued swarrns of terror stricken refugees hasmade him famous; but the self-sacrifice of poor parish priest in Hinckley has hardly been mentioned, although there was in it much of the finest quality of heroism, says the Youths Companion.
 From the moment when the destruc tion of the town was menaced by the rapidly advancing wave of flame, he ceased to think of himself and devoted all his energies of mind and body to the protection and rescue of others.
 He went from house to house, warn ing the inmates of their peril, and beg ging them to take refuge in sand pits where there was water. While panic stricken men were harnessing horses and frantically seeking to escape into the burning woods, he was calm and collected, reassuring everyone whom he met, yet pointing out the only chance of safety.
 He led one group after another to the sandpits when they were beside them selves from fear and excitement. When one place of refuge was overcrowded he found another, and begged the strag glers to follow him.
 The woods were flaming on every side, and the refugees standing in the water felt in their faces the scorching breath of the storm of fire. The good priest had words of encouragement for all He held children in his arms; he supported fainting women when they were falling from fright and fatigue; he put the stoutest-hearted man to shame by his coolness, cheerfulness and energy.
 With his hat he poured water on the heads of women and children in that fiery furnace. He took the coat from his back and tore it in half. One frag- ment he dipped in water and bandaged the forehead of a woman with child clinging to her. The other half he wound around the heads of two help less children whose faces were scorched with the heat of the burning forest.
 Bareheaded and in shirt-sleeves he stood among the dying and ministered to them while he had strength to stand, eyes to see and a voice to utter words of comfort and hope. His was the spirit of self-sacrifce and of minis try to the needy, and whether shown in Catholic.or in Protestant it is worthy of high commendation.
 The flight of the train through the burning forest was the more stirring story in print, but what could have been nobler or more heroic than this devoted mans work among his flock!
 There were deeds of valor and chiv- airy before the walls of Zutphen in Flanders, but one act of self-sacrifice alone is remembered. Sir Philip Sid ney, wounded, dying and burning with thirst, put away from his own lips the bottle Of water which had been brought to him in his agony and gave it to a common soldier covered with gore who had glanced at him wistfully.

knights of the Mnccabecs.

The past week has been one of great
interest to the order of the Maccabees
in the Rocky mountain region. The
increase in the membership of old
tents has been very great. In 'WyO-
ming organizations will be effected at
RaWlins and Laramie in the near fu-
ture, while the tents at Green River
and Evanston are growing rapidly
In Utah the tents at Salt Lake. Og-
den and Mercur are actively arrang-
ing fer great excursion to Salt Lake
during the pleasure season of 1895. The
tent at Salt Lake has appointed a
committee on entertainment, and it is
expected that in the near future sew
eral open meetings will be held by the
sir knights, and many of the friends of
the order will be invited to attend and
enjoy the hospitality of the members
of the tent in this city A tent will
be organized at Murray during the
present week. by Deputy Supreme Com
mander Tattersall, who has already
examined some of the leading people
of the town and received their applica-
tons for charter membership.
Sir Knight Sanders of Idaho has
been at Lewiston and Murray in that
state for some weeks, where there are
now thriving tents, and the reports
from that state are of the most en-
COufaglng character.
The work in the state of Montana
will doubtless be reviewed in the near
future by Deputy Supreme Commander
Wright of this city Many of the local
organizations of that state have in
Dictated their desire to take part in the
proposed excursion to Salt Lake and
are rapidly working up an interest in
the order and adding many new mem
berS each week.
At Albuquerque, N. NJ, Sir Knight
Knapp will report a new tent in a few
days with upwards of thirty charter
members.
The Ladies of the Maccabees at Og-
den held a review on Saturday night
last for the purpose of installing new
officers and initiating new members.
Silver Hive No. 1 is composed of a
select class of ladies. who will see to
it that their hive takes a front rank
among the orders of their city.
The regular review of Salt Lake City
Tent No. 2 will be held at their hall
in the Odd Fellow temple on Market
street tomorrow night, and all sir
knights are earnestly requested to be
present
BY reason of the fact that the Mac
cabees are so rigid in their medical
examinations for membership, so care
full in the selection of the members,
excluding certain classes of hazardous
occupations and requiring a high
standard of morality in its members,
this order is rapidly taking an i'm
portant position in the ranks of bene-
f1ciary orders in the Rocky mountain
country. The protection is of the best,
the expense of carrying it is so low, the
amount is graded SO that one can car
ry what he wishes, from $500 to $4,000,
and is privileged to pay for it ac-
cording to age; the younger the ap-
plicant, the less it costs him. Hun
dreds. are awaiting themselves of the
splendid provisions made for them by
the Maccabees every week in the re-
gion reporting to the Salt Lake office.

Unitarian.

The members of local lodges of the
order of Knights of Pythias went to
church in body yesterday morning.
as is their annual custom on the Sun
day nearest to the anniversary of the
founding of the order, February 10.
The Unitarian church was selected as
the place and at "a few minutes before
the hour for commencing service the
members of the different lodges and Of
the Uniform Rank to the number of
about one hundred filed into Unity
hall under the lead of Grand Chancel
lor John P Meakin and Supreme
Representative L. II. Farnsworth, who
were followed in order by Supreme
Representative T. W Hayt and Past
Grand Chancellor E. W. Duncan.
Seventy Sir knights in uniform fol-
lowed led by Captain W. w. Hall and
accompanied by the K. P. band.
Mr. Hudson's theme was 'Pythian-
ism and Religion the text being
psalms cxix. Iii: BE surety for
thy servant for goodr' He spoke of
the relation of suretyship in human
life, not alone in financial concerns but
also in lifes more intimate relations,
such as those of friend and friend,
brother and sister husband and wife,
portant factor this relation of surety
is in the experiences of our daily
lives.
1t is upon the recognition Of this
relationship that the order of Knights
Of Pythias is founded. taking as its
type the historic incident of Damon
and Pythias. And Mr. Hudson show
ed the value of this lesson in the de-
velopment of character and the cult
walton of right relations between the
members of the order.
To the criticism that secret orders
were narrow and selfish in combining
their privileges and benevolence to
members of the order, Mr. Hudson re-
Piled. first that such limitation was
essential to successful organization.
The growth of the order in thirty-two
years to nearly half a million members
had required the power of organizing
methods But second. the fuller
recognition of true relations between
all fellow men So that no man could
be a true Pythian without being made
thereby a better man.
Mr. Hudson concluded with the
thought that where the work of secret
orders ceases the work of religion in
the churches should begin. That this
relation of suretyship in human life
which we find within this growing
order should in the churches be ex-
tended to meet the needs Of all hui
manity. When the churches fully
realize this they will have learned the
full significance of the teachings and
the life of Jesus who gave faith and
hope and courage to our lives through
the suretyship of his own
Mr.. Hudson will speak next Sunday
morning upon Lent.
