try. and. unlike Dickens and some other
English literary critics. did not confne his
structures to America at large. but wrote
a number OF pointed. unpleasant and al
most unprintable things about JEFFERSON
who was at that time President OF the
United States. These poems relating to
America" have been collected in a single
volume. and it was upon this showing OF
deliberate insult TO the then President
OF the United States that the library OIL
cials say the name OF Moore was omitted
from the honor roll of poets.
1t is not generally known that the Hon.
Hoke Smith, owner OF the Atlanta Even
ing Journal, is also owner OF large block
Of stock IN the Atlanta Constitution Com
pany. The Constitution and the Journal
are on better terms than formerly, and a
correspondent OF the Savannah News
says that there are those who confidently
predict that the Constitution VIII finally
be brought around TO the advocacy OF
sound money.
The New York World OF yesterday says
that ex-President Harrison, who has been

except General Tracy General Harrison
said himself. and said 1t. too. with
show of anger, that he had not been In
vited TO take part in the Republican rati-

The New York Mail and Express. in
discussing the Hogansvlle post-office az
fair. wants to know what has Loftin
done thus to excite the murderous wrath
OF some OF his neighbors? Has he com
mitted any crime? Is he tainted with
contagious disease? Is he ignorant, shift

And we would PROFOUND these same
questions with reference to the negro who
recently applied for admission TO the
Naval Academy at Annapolis. and then
ask why there was so much opposition
at the North to his entrance into the
navy?

Havana, Aug. 21.-When, three weeks

spy, Miguel b. Betancouru, he did not
realize to what fearful revenge from Gen.
Weyler he exposed several defenseless
persons in the capital, and among them

Betancourt, feigning to be an agent in
Havana of the New York junta, inspired
the confidence of the enemies of Spain
in Havana, and discovered the secrets Of
those Cubans who We're helping the revo-
luton in the very stronghold of Spain.
He denounced to Weyler many prominent
men Of Havana, who are now suffering
in the dungeons of Ceuta and Chafarinas
also Ana Totolongo and ArTnando de los
Rios, who had suffered with unbounded
courage the most barbarous tortures ever
invented by the Spaniards.
He secured the escape Of Ana TotoIongo
and concealed herin house in Aquila street,
where her Cuban friends called to offer
her some help. That was all Betancourt
desired. In a few days he knew the
persons who sympathiZed with Ana. The
Spanish police arrested them and Ana was
The report is now circulating that the
threats against Ana of inflicting great tor
ture on her have been carried into effect.
1t is certain that the Spanish agent, since
the death of Betancourt, has been very ac-

longo, and that he had been for hours
closeted In cell of the house OF Recojidas

She S accused now, besides, of an

The real cause of these attacks is the

Both tine miners and the operators claim
the victory, but in Judge Goff's lengthy
decision he plainly stated the miners had
right TO mold meetings and camp and

The point made against them was Of
repeatedly marching up and down, time
after time, in the road running through
the Montana Mine Company's property,
after having been made aware OF the
contents of Judge Jackson's injunction
