"The Emepror Frederick's Diary, 1870

JAPAN'S GREAT CATHEDRAL

One of the Finest Structures to Be
Found in the Civil lied World.
When foreign architects visit Japan
and see the cathedral Of Buddhism for
the first time they are generally aston
ished at the magnificent structure. It
is executed in pure Oriental style, and
is richly ornamented with carvings. H.
Ito, famous builder of Nagoya City,
designed it. The structure was COM
menced in 1878, and was completed
this year. The cost has been estimated
at SIT 100000. 1t would have greatly
exceeded this amount had not numbers
of Buddhists worked without any rec
ompense AS the structure neared COM
pletion the committee having the work
in charge was much perplexed as to
fire insurance. They found that no
company would assume the risk on
such valuable wooden structure, the
danger of destruction by fire being
very great, and thus the premiums
would amount to an enormous sum of
money. At last the committee decided
on design devised by DR.. Tanabe.
Numbers of powerful fountains were
constructed, both exterior and interior.
which can be made to play on all parts
of the structure at the same time
Usually only one great ornamental
fountain is playing, rising to the great
height of 157 feet This is probably
the largest artificial fountain in exist
ence, emitting $4,000 gallons per hour.
In case of fire all the water pressure
is directed through fountains Thus
every part of the structure, both inside
and out, could soon be drenched, and
any conflagration soon extinguished.-

BIG REBEL VICTORY.
Munoz Made a Futile Attempt to
Prevent the Rebels Cross
ing the CautO.

Key West, Fla, May IA notable
victory has been won by the insurgents
commanded by Gen. Calixto Garcia, in
the province of Santiago de Cuba. Ad-
vices received here from Cuba state that
Garcia's forces fell upon the Spanish col
umn commanded by Gen. Munoz and al
CURED near Zanja, on the banks of the
river CautO.
Gen. Garcia was moving west with
1900 men, intending to cross the river.
Munoz, who was at Manzanillo, decid-
ed to try to prevent Garcia's crossing.
He led $500 Spanish soldiers out Of
Manzanillo and ordered gunboats to pro-
coed up the river to cooperate. Garcia
heard of Munoz's movements and eff
fected junction with the columns of
Rabi and Rolingheus, thereby increasing
the forces under his command to nearly
5000. Garcia stationed his men near
Zanja, and when the Spanish column un-
der Munoz appeared, struck it in front
and flank, doubling it up on the river.
The Spaniards were taken by surprise
and many of them rushed into the river
and were drowned The fire of the in
surgents also did great execution.
When the humiliation of Munoz's col
umn seemed certain the gunboats APP
peared and saved the remnants. Over
800 of Munoz's men were killed by in
surgents bullets or drowned and about
400 were wounded. The Spaniards re-
treated down the river to Manzanillo,
protected by the gunboats. The insur-
gent loss was small. Gen. Garcia then
crossed the Cauto and is now proceed
ing west.
The news of the advance of Gen. Co
mez has been confirmed. He has entered
Matanzas province at the head of 100
we'll armed men. He has seven pieces of
artillery and plenty of ammunition. 1t
is said that the field pieces are in charge
of expert American artillery men, who
served in the Pennsylvania National
guard and left Philadelphia for Cuba
several months ago. Gomezs forces are
advancing westward rapidly and in a
short time will be in Havana province.
1t is said in Havana that Gomez is
moving to attack the Trocha from the
east while Maceo hurls his column
against it from the west.
Gen. Weyler is evidently expecting a
simultaneous assault on the Trocha by
the forces of Gomez and MaceO, for he
is hurrying to the line every soldier not
needed for garrison duty. In the next
Jews days hot fighting is expected on the

Boldi is accused of stealing several
thousand dollars worth of property, but
is not guilty. The delay in his trial,
