The Lobster Question.

The board of health held meeting
Saturday and discussed among other
matters the measure for prohibiting lob
ster cars and pounds from being kept in
the docks. It is argued that "a large
number of Holsters are confined at the
ends Of the great sewers and that the lob
sters feed on the filth which is brought
to them. This renders the flesh of the
Holsters objectionable, it is said, and
makes their market value less.
Dr.. h. p. Merrill, the chairman Of the
board, says that the board has the
matter under advisement, but has taken
no action whatever as yet.

Col. FREDERICK Parez Carlo, Secretary
of Gen. Maceo. has arrived in New York,
and he gives very encouraging account
of the progress Of the rebel cause. He
says the patriot army numbers go, 900
men, fairly well armed with muskets
captured from the Spaniards. He reports
Gen. Welyer as completely dazed, having
accomplished nothing since he arrived in
the island. and not knowing which way
to turn. He alleges cruel practices by the
Snaniards, while he claims that. the rebels
treat prisoners with great kindness,
hoping that the Spaniards may be affected
by the influence of good example. Gen.
Carbos reports are to be taken of course
with allowance but some of them
seem to be pretty we'll oorroborated. Gen.
Campos has already borne testimony to
the humanity of the rebels and their
ohivalrous conduct, and certainly reports
even from Spanish sources do not credit
Wey1er with any victories of consequence
since he arrived in the island.

own account of his interview, which he
afterward published in Paris

me an audience, and in tete-a-tete of
more than two hours duration the most
complete agreement seemed to be eStab-
lished between us as we exchanged ideas
When l quilted the palace I was author

ton, moderate yet liberal. I was filled
with JOY Tor the future of my country.
Alas, my happiness was of brief dura-
tion. few days later Kiamil Pasha
was dismissed, and the honest element in
the Ministry had to give place to corrupt
men who had long been denounced by
public opinion. The day after Lord Sal
isbury's GuildhaIl speech I presented
myself at the palace. The Sultan, in,
stead OF receiving me, contented himself
by sending me smooth message by his
First Chamberlain. l was convinced
from that moment that there was no
hope of doing any good with sovereign
who was a hypocrite above everything. I
decided TO quit my country and make
my appeal In its favor to the civilized
world.
Mourad Bey kept his word. He con-
suited first with five leading spirits of
the Young Turkey Party, who Joined
him on the Bosporous; and tho means of
combating the nefarious policy of the
Sultan, THAT perturber of the public
peace, was discussed. Asreyolution was
feasible. Some patriots offered to sacri-
flee their lives to achieve their country's
liberty; but it was deemed the wisest
course to make further appeal to the
public opinion Of Europe. Mourad him
self accepted the mission of denouncing
his sovereign, a mission distasteful and
even savoring of sacrilege to the Mussul-
man; but justifying his conscience by
the requirements of the supreme inter
osts OF his country, he went forth into

the Sultan to rid himself of his evil coun-

honest administrators in the provinces

spectacle to see the reformers of the Coxey

what they want. The confusion at the
