NEW YORK, July ga Herald dis
patch from Havana says:
The threatened invasion of Matanzas
province by the insurgents has begun.
Several large bodies of Cubans have
crossed the line from Santa Clara and
the strength of the force engaged In
the westward movement is estimated
from 1000 to 5000. La Crete and Herie,
who recently crossed the Jucaro and
Moron troeha and passed into Santa
Clara from Camaguay, have united
with other leaders, and there are now
five or six chiefs, each with consider
able following, moving into Matanzas,
where the insurgent forces were
ordered to mobilize. Men have been
summoned from the plantations around
and ordered westward.
Whether the movement was ordered
to embarrass General Weyler or to dis
tract attention from General Gomez,
who is supposed to be hemmed in by
Spanish columns near Sancti Spiritus,
is not yet clear. 1t may do both.
The purpose of the gathering In
Matanzas is said to cover the landing
of an expedition which is due in that
province, and which will furnish the
combined forces with some additional
arms, cartridges and several rapid-fre
field guns. After receiving this exs
pedition the program mapped out by
General Gomez is for an advance across
Matanzas province, a junction with
the forces in Havana province, and If
all goes well a demonstration near the
city of Havana itself.
just what opposition the Spanish
troops will make to the movement is
not certain. The sudden activity In
the rebel ranks after the rainy season
has well begun shows that they are
able to move, despite the muddy con-
dition of the roads, and frequent
drenchings which they must receive.
Any forced marches OF large bodies
of Spanish troops to head off the rebel
must result in heavy losses
from sickness, hardship and exposure.

and without masks, entered the general

Chinaman, and after binding and gag
ing him, took from the establishment
$400,50 in cash and large quantity OF

in trailing the robbers to Desolation

capture. This is the second time that

SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.-Early this

crowded the various churches where
prayer meetings were to be held. The
topic at all these meetings was "The

Long before the hour for calling the
meetings TO order in Mechanics and
woodward's pavilions, crowds filed
every available space In the big build

enthusiastic than on the first day of
the convention, nearly all having had
sufficient time to recover from the
fatigue of a long journey, and more or
less discomfort of railway trip. The
thousands of lady delegates in striking
toiletes and wearing badges and rib
bons of bright colors, looked fresh and
happy, and when the song service was
announced at the opening of the meet
ings they responded with will that
showed their whole spirit was in the
undertaking.

The most remarkable gold bugs In tho
world are found in Central America.
They belong to the genus Plusiotis, and
one might easily imagine specimen
TO be the work of some clever artificer
in metal. The head and wing cases are
brilliantly polished, with luster as of
gold itself. To sight and touch they
have all the seeming of metal, and it is
hard to realize that the creature is o
mere animal. Oddly enough there is an
other species of Plusiotis from the same
region, which has the appearance of be-
ing wrought in solid silver, freshly
FURNISHED. These gold and silver beet
les have market value. They are worth
from $25 to $50 each. One of the most
beautiful bugs in the world is small
beetle known to science as the "blue
Hoplia." Its back is an exquisite rides
cent sky-blue, and the under part Of
its body is of bright silver hue. Tho
notion that it contains silver Is widely
entertained, and attempts have fre-
quently been made to extract silver

WONDERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY.

Soap Bubbles Photographed in the Act OF
Bursting.
Electricity has been doing some pret-
ty work in the photographing Of
drops of water, and Prof. c. ". Boys in
recent lecture gave illustrations of
what had been accomplished, says the
Detroit Free Press. He first showed
photographs taken by the electric spark
of soap bubbles in the act of bursting.
and explained the process by which it
is possible to ascertain the respective
speed at which different soap bubbles
burst. One photograph showed an issue
of liquid from very small pipe, which
to the naked eye appeared to be per
feet stream, but which, on an electric
photograph being taken, was resolved
into beautiful and regular series Of
drops. In connection with this Prof.
Boys remarked that the science of
liquids and of the forces involved in the
phenomena of the surface of liquida
was one of the most interesting branch
es of physical science. The effect on
fountain Of playing or singing was to
change its appearance into one, two or
three apparently separate, clear streams
of liquid, but a photograph taken as
tuning fork was struck demonstrated
that the water was disposed in drops in
perfect regularity. A picture Of rifle
bullet, passing through the air at the
rate of two thousand feet a second, was
also exhibited. Prof. Boys, however,
showed that il it were wished to inves-
tigate what was really happening when
rife bullet was beng projected
through the air at the maximum posi-
BILE speed. it would be necessary to have
recourse to q method of illumination in
finitely more rapid than the electric
spark. For this purpose mirror of
steel, about the size Of a twenty-five
cent piece, is now used. 1t is so mount
ed as to revolve with ease without get
ting hot at the enormous speed Of one
thousand times second, and the end of
the beam of light given off from this
mirror passes across the screen at snch
q rate that it enables photographs to be
taken in about one ten-millionth of
second,

1887 and spoke of the changes made
in the original treaty expressing him
self favorably upon them.
Minister Smith said:
Mr.. President:-In considering subject
of such serious and solemn import, il is
a matter for congra tulation that it has
been approached with so much delibera-
ton. For more than 40 years the propo-
sition of annexing these Islands from
time to time has been presented to the
people of these Islands, and to the people
of the United States. With the progress
of events the fact that annexation TO the
United States was the destiny of these
Islands has become more and more man.

Senator McCandIess said there was
vital necessity that the islands be an
nexed and if the Hawaiians were op-
posed to it, it was through mere SEN
timent If they oppose it, it is because
they do not think of the prosperity that
will be theirs" He spoke of the dan
gers which threaten us from other di-
rections and it was choice between
Eastern and Western civilization. The
people could judge which we had had
the most Of Senator Schmidt also
spoke in favor of the passage of the
treaty.
Senator Waterhouse moved the
adoption and Senator McCandless sec
onded, but was interrupted by Minister
Damon who said:
Il understand that the adoption of
the report of the committee carries
with it all the views expressed therein
and these views, naturally will be
made public through the press of the
United States. AS a Hawaiian one
who has been identified with the Gov
ernment since it's inception, I cannot
agree with the committee in saying
that good government cannot be main
tanned in the Hawaiian Islands unless
we have support from without. In that
expression we are tacitly admitting
that we are unfit to become a part of
the Great Republic across the sea. In
view of the events of the past four
years, in view of the support given the
government by men of all classes at a
time when it's safety was threatened
and in view of the fact that the Gov
ernment of Hawaii has grown steadily
stronger since it's formation, and in
view of the reports that have been sent
abroad as to the strength of our posi-
ton, l say that in the adoption of that
clause of the report we would be stul-
tifying ourselves. I believe it unwise
to endorse that part of the report. 1t
it one of the statements so often made
in the opposition press and the one
which our friends have so strenuously
denied in our behalf"
Senator McCandless said he thought
the report referred to events prior to
1892 and he did not want a word or
letter changed.

great disappointment that the treaty of
annexation submitted by President Har-
rison to the United States Senate was
withdrawn before action was taken upon
it, / think that can truly say, in the
light of subsequent events that it has
been we'll for this country that the DELAY
has occurred. During the four years and
half that have passed since that treaty
was proposed, this community has dem
onStrated that Ii is capable of establish
ing and sustaining good government.
Some of our experiences have been bit

ficulty and of peril, but the experience

has demonstrated to the people of the
United States that we are capable of

Among the objections raised at the time
that President Grant advocated the an
