Redeeming Their Sons.

New York, June ia dispatch to
the Journal from Havana says: "A
Madrid dispatch says since Jan. last
SS,100.000 has been paid into the gov
eminent treasury by Spanish parents
redessning their sons from military
service in Cuba and the Philippines
This money, it is announced, has been
turned over TO the navy department
to meet the expenses OF increasing the
navy. In Havana it was reported that
orders had been given to transform 20
of the best vessels of the transatlantic
line into armed cruisers for immediate
service in West Indian waters, in view
of the strained relations existing with
the United States. At the arsenal a
double force is working both day and
night, and new torDedoes are being
laid at the entrances to all Cuban ports
Of Importance. From Banes comes
word that a government vessel was
sunk at the entrance TO the harbor dur
ing the last bombardment by a shell
from Roloff's rebels and batteries upon
the shore, thus closing the port alto
gether to future navigation. In addi-
ton TO Weyler, Spanish troops of the
Guinness garrison have asked permission
to give half of their daily rations to
starving Cuban women and children.

STEVENS BOUND OVER.
Serious Result of Attempted Prac-
teal Joke.

Charles E. Stevens was held yester-
day TO the district court with bonds
fixed at $500 for attempt to shoot Isaac
Hewitt.
Judge Bagley was Stevens attorney.
The state put on Hewitt, VINO testified
substantially to the facts as published
heretofore. Stevens had threatened to
kill him If he did not quit going with
a certain young lady with whom he
(Stevens) appeared enamored. A day
or two after this Stevens fired three
shots at him while he was riding past
the Stevens place. Sheriff Beinap and
Deputy HORROR testified that Stevens
had admitted the deed.
The defense had quite an array OF
witnesses, all of whom were willing TO
testify to Stevens good character and
reputation for peace and quiet; some
of them testified that he was eccentric
and extremely credulOus. thus becom-
ing a butt of ridicule and a victim for
practical jokes.
John Nav, William Mathers. Lyman
Skeen William Stewart and Orson Tay-
lor all testified along this line. The
court however, held that the defendant
was accountable and fixed his bail at
$780, 1t is thought the amount will be
furnished in a dav or two
1t now appears on the surface as
though the affair is the result of a prac-
teal Joke. Stevens is extremely credu
lous and was made to believe that half
the young ladies of Plain City were
eaamored Of him. Hewitt was going
with the young lady against the protest
of her parents. The wags OF the town
induced Stevens to believe it was his
duty to step in and in he stepped.

Woodford,s Position

New York. June 20.-The Herald this
morning prints extracts from an adj
dress delivered by General Stewart L.
Woodford, new minister to Spain, at
a Cuban mass meeting in Cooper Union
on April 4, 1870, during the ten years
war General Woodford said:
Nearly u months ago l was per-
miJted TO stand on this platform and
plead the cause of free Cuba. Fully
sensible of the horrors of war, know
ing that only the sternest necessity
will justify buloodshed, sensible also of
the wrongs which the Cuban creoles
had endured at the hands of the Span
ish government for many long and
weary year. l felt then as 1 feel to-
night. that the Cubans were justified in
throwing down the gauntlet and en-
gaging in the horror and struggle of
war.
Those of us who sympathized with
Cuba had no fear that the rebellion
would be easily stamped out. We
knew better.
That struggle may not be ac-
complished yet 1t may be-though' y
don't believe it-that Spanish gold
and Spanish bayonets shall buy out
and STAMP out this instruction, but
they can only kill it for a season
so long as men are free here, men
will desire to be. free there
This struggle is to be long or short.

the United States are ready to express
their sympathy and lift their hands in
aid of the patriotic Cubans struggling
for libertw-
