Great Demonstration When Apazte-
guf Sailed for Spain.

Havana, Jan. 1O.-There was a notable
demonstration of sympathy for the Mar.
quis of Apaztegui on the occasion of his
departure for Spain. The marquis en-
parked at o'clock and sailed at O'Clock
on the steamer San Augustin. Captain
General Weyler. on account of the i'm
mense crowds, made his way to and from

element"
He was


90 the Porte.
London, Jan. ia dispatch from Con-
stantinople to the Standard says:
Rumors of a massacre of Christians at
Trebizonde, which originated by the state-
ment that an Italian gunboat had been
ordered thither, are untrue 1t appears
that an italian subject named Marani was
secretly shipped to Trebizonde for exile to
Erzeroum. The Italian ambassador de-
landed the immediate return of Marani
to Constanttnople for proper trial and
threatened to send gunboats till the porte
gave a written promise of compliance.
The incident has caused a sensation at
Constantinople on account of the belief
that Italy was backed by the powers.
London, Jan. 10. - A dispatch to the
Daily News from Rome says: Everybody
remarks that the sultan has not had such
humiliation as for an ambassador to re-
fuse to accept his promise, but to insist
upon a written confirmation.

head, Near Halifax.

sighted off Whitehead late this afternoon

storm prevented the near approach of

strengthened by the fact that no prosecutions
have ever been carried on against these people
by the Government. The increase in the Ito uor

DEATH OF A BIG GROUPER.
A Pebble which II Had Picked Up with Is

Among the sub-tropical fishes lately received

One OF them. weighing about twenty pounds
and measuring more than two feet in length.
was killed last week by the Judgment in Its gills
OF a pebble weighing about an ounce. which 10
had probably picked up with its food.
The big grouper had been seen to be ailing,
and finally IL turned over on its back. 1t was
removed to another tank for treatment, but 1t
soon died. An examination revealed the pres
ence OF the pebble In the groupcr's gills. 1t was
so deeply !mbeddod that forceps were required

All living water contains air. The fish Is con-

manner that instead OF passing down. Its throat
It lodged in its gills; and so securely that The
fish was unable TO dislOdRe 1t. The fish has

CASADA,s RICH sMUGGLERs.
Influential Men OF Quebec and the way They
Are Filing Up Fortunes

QUEBEC, July 1.-THE recent increase In tho
duties imposed by the Canadian Governments
upon tho importation OF spirituous liquors has
given a fresh impetus to smuggling SO extern
sively carried on in the Gulf Of st. Lawrence. as
we'll as TO the Illicit manufacture Of alcohol In
the country. In the very heart OF this city a few
days ago q large Illicit still was found in full
operation In the upper part Of an old house. and
now comes the news that q group OF similar
stills has been seized at Stoncham, some
twenty miles from Quebec. away up in tho
mountains, where the yield OF contrahAnd
whiskey was 80 largo that it meant . loss Of
revenue OF $500 a day.
While some seizures are being made on shore,
tho pirates Of the gulf have practically every
thing their own way. With the steam cruiser
Constance continually on the lookout for tho
smuRRlers, and with lines OF telegraph along
both the north and south shores OF the river and
gulf, the Government is thus far quite power
less to check the evil. Some idea Of the enor-
nous extent OF the smugglers' operations may
be gained from the fact that Notwithstanding
tho higher duties upon alcoholic liquors. and
tho certainty that there ID no decrease
I'm their consumption. the diminution In
reyenue from this source amounts TO sew
eral thousand dollars a day. Many think
that the revenue officials are In collision with
the principal smugglers, whose chiefs are known
