to respond to the cheers which had been
given in their honor. Capt. Laborde's
brother was one of those who assembled on
the dock. The meeting between the broth
ers was a touching one. The friends of
the others cried with joy as they grasped
the hands of the released prisoners, whose
eyes were sunken and faces pallid.
This is the story which Young Ouesada
told concerning his release: -
Last March 1 wandered about half mile
away from our hospital tent in search OF
some herbs Of which l desired to make
medicine, when a detachment of Spanish
infantry captured me- The noise made by
my struggle to free myself aroused nv
twelve companions and they rushed to nv
assistance. During the fight that followed
my friends were beaten and one of them
vas killed.

and thrown on the ground and beaten un-
mercifully. 1 was told if ] would confess
where my comrades had their dynamite
stored they would stop beating me. This
declined to do, and, seeing that they could
rot force confession from me, they sent
me to Artemisa prison. where / was tried
and sentenced to be shot.
them Gen. Arolas. concerned themselves in
my release. They feared me because they
knew l had disclosures to make which
would ruin them. They Thought that if
had to die would tell what 1 knew.
They were in constant communication
with the insurgent generals. having written
letters to them which 1 saw while in the
Pinar del Rio district, in which they stated
that they wanted to make arrangements
by which Spanish soldiers would not be at
tackled in the districts controlled by them
In return the insurgents were to have free
access to the trocha and be permitted to
pass at will. This nronosition was ar
certed, and in this way we were. able to
keep in constant communication with Co
mez, Maceo and Garcia"

REGRET OF THE GOVERNMENT.
Insult to the Chinese Minister in New
York DeplOred.

The Secretary of State has written a let
ter to Mr.. WI Ting Fang, the Chinese min
lister, expressing the official regret of this
government at the insult offered him in
New York last summer on the occasion of
his visit to that city to receive the Chinese
ambassador to Queen Victoria's jubilee.
According to the statements filed at the
State Department, mob followed the car
riages Of the minister and his suite and
threw eggs and other missiles at them, to
the great insult to their dignity and the
injury of their apparel The police came to
their aid, but made no arrests. Upon re-
ceipt Of report from Gov. Black of New
York in regard to the case. the Secretary
of State addressed the Chinese minister, ex-
pressing the regret of this government at
the unfortunate occurrence, and requesting
him to inform the department hereafter
whenever he goes to New York in order
that suitable police arrangements may be
made to protect him from possible insult or
molestation.

SUSPENSION OF SEALING.
The United States Will Make q Com
cessiOn to Canada

One of the most important features of
the Boring sea negotiations not heretofore
disclosed is that, in the event that Great
Brltam and Canada consent to a suspen-
sion OF pelagic sealing for one year. the
Limited States at the same time will agree
to suspension of all killing of seals for
one year on the Pribylof Islands, consti-
tuting the American seal possessions In
Bering sea. During the recent negotia-
tions the Canadians took the ground that,
If any suspension was to occur, it would
be inequitable to ask them to suspend
sealing in the outer waters, while at the
same time the United States persisted in
seailng In the inner waters and on land
The contention of the United States was
primarily for the suspension of peIagic
sealing but under the exigency of the case
1t was felt that if a suspension of pelagic
sealing could be secured. it would be rea-
sonable to concede similar suspension
within our own territory. 1t was in this
form that the final proposition took shape.

appear to make it necessary. The neu.

genuine American citizens will be pro-
