BURNED TO DEATH.
Awful Fate of the Mother of the
Cuban Secretary of the Interior.


New York, March pa special cable
dispatch to the Sun from Havana says
The town Cano, near Havana, has
been attacked by the insurgents anC
captured after a hot engagement with
the garrison. The insurgents ran
sacked many stores and supplied them
selves with a large stock of arms, am
munition, clothing, medicines and also
money. After three hours in the town
they again retired to the country.
One of the stores ransacked belonged
to a Cuban named Gomez, who is a
rich grocer and a strong partisan OF
the Spaniards. The insurgents punished
found in his store-over $1,000 in gold,
and all the merchandise, worth 81 600
more. Stripping the man, they obliged
him to set out, barefooted, for Havana.
Near the same place the camp
of the famous Spanish guerrilla
of La Media Luna was sur
rounded by the insurgents, who
killed all the Cubans, most of them
colored men from Havana, who be-
longed to it. Captain Gutierrez, leader
of the guerrillas, was also killed. The
men of the Media Luna were noted for
their cruelty to women and in general
to non-combatants.
Those among them who were whites
of Spanish birth were released after
promising that they would never again
take up arms against the republic of
Cuba.
From Puerto Principe comes the news
that another leader of a Spanish guer-
rilla corps, the famous Captain Rojas,
was killed in recent engagement with
the revolutionists.
He was marching a few days ago
with his men at the head of the column
Of General Jimenez Castellanos. when
the latter attempted to,capture the Gu
ban government at San Jeronimo Ro-
jas was recognized by the first Cubans
who met the column, surrounded by
them and torn to pieces, with 43 of his
followers.
An awful report comes from Sancti
Spiritus, which, if confirmed. will make
one of the darkest pages in the history
of the Cuban war. The Cubans affirm
that Sonora Josefa Canizares. mother
of the secretary of the interior in the
Cuban government. Santiago Garcia
Canizares. was tortured by the Span
iards and burned to death The Span
ish official report of the affair is that
her death was purely accidental. Sc

Last Resting Place of the Remains
of Grant Already Desecrated.

New York. March 23.-The Herald this
morning says: Some vandal, actuated
doubtless by a mania for curio coIlec-
tons, desecrated what will be the last
resting place of General Grant on Mon
day night or early yesterday morning
by chipping away a considerable guam
tity OF stone from the upper surface of
one of the granite pillow blocks which
support the head and foot of the great
sarcophasus.
From all appearances it was the work
of an expert stone cutter. and there is
every indication that the person who
handled the chisel was frightened away
before having completed the task he had
set himself to do.
The pillow blocks are of a deep reddish
brown granite. the same as the SarcOpha-
gus itself In places fragments had been
broken out to a depth of at least an
inch and a half.

carefully thought out. That the aver
age intelligence of these birds is very
high Is generally acknowledged; but 1t
is nowhere so we'll shown as when they
are travelling on foot. In the first place
there is no hurry-every one goes his
own pace, but that pace is deliberate.
They walk in column, but the ranks are
often ten geese wide, No goose touches
or 1ostles his neighbor,an all the heads
are carried high, so as to get the maxi
mum OF air, AT regular intervals on
the march the column halt and iced,
spreading out in lines for this purpose,
but falling in at proper signal from
the leaders. The writer has often
watched these proceedings when large
flock of geese has been crossing Port
Meadow, the wild green fiat above OK
ford. But their marching powers have
been well known in "the trade" for CEN
| turtles, and are still made use of abroad.
AT Antwerp, in January, a flock of
three thousand geese were seen to walk
along the quay, gently urged by some
Flemish gooseherds. They were halted
opposite to an English steamer bound
| for HarWich, and then crossed three
abreast on a plank with low canvas
sides on to the steamer. Then they
walked along the deck, descended a
steep sloping plank, and marched along
the lower deck into an enclosure, where
they remained during the crossing. At
Harwich they were driven up the plank
to the upper deck, off the ship, and into
pens, where it Is to be feared most OF
them were killed for market This is
only a survival of the old system by
up to London in thousands without los
ing condition. 1t paid better, before the
days of railways, to let the geese trans
port themselves.
The largest drove mentioned was one
| of nine thousand, which went from
Suffolk, through Chelmsford, and on
to London. AS "a cart" not carts, was
provided to pick up the lame ones, the
number who fell out" must have been
surprisingly small. 1t may be doubted
whether nine thousand creatures of any
Other species could have made the jour-
ney Of hundred miles with so little
trouble. They took their journey easily,
marching ten miles a day. The ordinary
days march of the German army is thir
teen miles-only three miles better than
the geese. But these are the champion
pedestrians Of all birds. When Lord
Oxford bet the Marques Of Queensbury
that q drove of Suffolk geese would
beat an equal number of turkeys in a
walk to London, the geese won by forty
eight hours.-London Spectator.
