l am glad-thank heaven!--tIere are
few dark clouds looming ahead to sad
den our existence, my child. The ty-
rant who desecrates France will one
day fall; meantime his advisers have
persuaded him to pardon many politi-
cal offenders, myself amongst them.
So / shall see France again! God is
good! When He restores me to my
country he will give me also my wife.
Put your little hand in mine and say,
Leon, trust you with all my heart
Say it, my child, and, believe me, your
faith shall not be misplaced"
He held forth his hand to her, and
Marjorie, tremblingly raising her eyes
to his face, said in broken accents, az

troth was plighted, and whether for
good or i'll, Marjories fate was sealed.

order to permit the cultivation OF fields
near the town. The lines of the beslegers

proved by the failure OF several sorties

korahas. with part of his forces, is ad-

on the island of Cuba, were arrested on
January 10 last and thrown into dirty,
damp Spanish prison, among a lot of low,
abandoned women, without the slightest
charge having been preferred against
them. They were kept for twenty days
in a state of "incommunicado" when
they were marched through the streets
with a number of criminals, some of
whom were in chains. surrounded by an
armed guard to the depot and placed o n
a train bound to Nuevitas and from there
to Hanava by steamer.
On the train they were confined in q car
filled with men, and were not allowed any
conveniences. but instead they were al
lowed to pay for q few comforts. They
arrived at Havana on February last.
Her case was called to the attention OF
Consul General Lee. who Immediately
com m unicated with the acting Captain
General, Marquis Ahumada, and de-
N anded her release.
On arriving at Havana she was taken to
the public Jail and then to the House OF
Refuge. "a place set aside for fallen women.
This place was filled with women afflicted
with loathsome diseases and stocked with
lice. Even the officials advised Mrs. Rod
riguez to be careful and not come in con-
tact with these poor wretches.
She was detained in this den of horrors
For tnirtytwo hours, when she was re-
leased on condition that she would not re

lease she sent for her two little daughters,
who had been left at Puerto Principe, and
on their arrival at Havana Mrs. Rod
riguez requested Consul-General Lee 10 Sc
cure her q passport from the Captain
General. She is profuse i'll her thanks to
General Lee for the aid he rendered her.
Her husband Is now in command of the
insurgents in Havana province in the
place OF General Aguirre. The insur-
gents, she says, are about TO concentrate
their forces in and around Havana. The
report of cane grinding on different
estates she declares are absolutely false.

let Turkey once more conquer Greece, is
not to be thought OF. The total war
strength of Greece would count for some
thing only if Turkey had simultaneously
to suppress insurrection in Macedonia and
to meet in the field the com bined forces of
Servia, Bulgaria and Montenegro. Even
then, if none OF the powers intervened, the
military opinions here quoted believe that
the Turks would hold their own. The
combin strength of Greece and the
awful consequence of cnaining the tre-
mendous forces of war and rapine in
Turkey were undoubtedly the weight1est
questions with the Kaiser.

He said that the news of his release

in Washington to secure his liberty, and
