house arrangements, servants, etc.
The ambassadors are exercised about
horses for there state carriages, the
Russian horse, with all his points,
being too small. Besides, if they are
too short their tails are too long. The
Austrians are having a stable from

over the tail difficulty by tying up
these long natural tales and fastening
on short false ones. They've had a
dress rehearsal, and say the effect is
excellent. What it is to be smart.

most earnest hope that steps would be
taken for an adequate representation by

CUBA's PERIL.
President Cisneros Resigned, but Was
Brought Back.


News has been received Of crisis In
the Provisional Government of the repdb-
lie of Cuba. There has been much fric-
ton for months between several high
officers. The climax came when the head
quarters quarterinaster spoke rather
plainly to the President. Col. Manadaly,
acting Secretary OF War, resented this
and drew his revolver, supposedly to
avenge the insult to his chief. The Quar-
terniastcr also had supporters, and for
IN instant bloodshed seemed inevitable.
But the venerable President, aided by the
cooler heads present, quickly restored a
semblance of peace. The old gentleman's
feelings, however, were deeply wounded,
and he Immediately announced. his resig-
nation. All that night the Provisional Gov
eminent was in great danger of ignomin-
ious dissolution. but the next morning all
complaints were heard. Difficulties were
adjusted. and President Cisneros with
drew his resignation. Trouble is over,
for the present at least. and the wheels
of government are running smoothly. %
