Cubans Laugh at Autonomy.

NEW YORK, October 6.-Senor Con-
zales de Quesada. Cuban charge de
affaires at Washington, received let
ter today from General Carlos Roloff,
minister of war of the Cuban republic
which says: 1--WE are now better pre-
pared for au active campaign than at
any time during either the present or
last war. We are informed here that
Spain will probably try to placate the
American government by offering us
autonomy more or less ample. We
laugh at such offers, for already we
see the hour of our liberation is at
hand. Should Spain seriously offer az
tonomy it would prove the full extent
of her weakness. We will fight with
renewed srdor until she shall recognize
our independence.

There ara no new developments in
regard to the proposed brewery for Ell
Paso The parties interested are keep
ing everything very quiet and do not
care for the promoters names to get in
to print, but they announced to the
city council this morning that they
would put $4,000 worth of improve
ments on the two blocks in the western
part of town they have an option on if
the council would agree to close up the
street running between the blocks.
The parties undoub btedly mean business
and it is the opinion of many citizens
that a brewery located here would
prove a paying business.

INTERESTING INCIDENTS.

It is well known that the great poet Heine married a woman who could hardly read and write and who was quite incapable of understanding what he wrote.
 Goethe the greatest of Germans, married his housekeeper The wives of great men have much to bear.
 The idea of the great electrician Edi- sons marrying was first suggested by an intimate friend, who told him that his large house and numerous servants ought to have mistress. Although very shy man, he seemed pleased with the proposition, and tim.dly inquired whom he should marry. The friend, annoyed at bis apparent want of senti- menl, somewhat testify replied "any one. But Edison was not without sentiment when the time came. One day. as fe stood behind the chair oi a Miss Stillwell, a telegraph operator in his employ, he was not little sur prlsed when she suddenly turned round and said, MT Edison I can all ways tell when you are behind ne or near me. It was now Miss Ssiiiwells turn to be surprised, for, with char acterlstic bluntness and ardor Edison ifonted tho young lady, and, looking her full, said, I've been thinking considerably about you of late and. if you are willing to marry ne, l would Ike 10 marry you" Tie young lady said she would consider the matter ana talk 1t over with her mother. The result was that they were married a month later, and the union proved a very happy one.
 Out, of the strong came forth sweetness might be said of many soldiers. An eye like Mars to threat en and command' but also a smile that betokened loving disposition. What domestic life was to Lord John Lawrence may be seen from the fol- lowing anecdote: He was sitting in his drawing-room at Southgate with hls sister and others of his family. All were reading. Looking up from the book in which he had. been engrossed. Lawrence had discovered that his wife had left the room. Where's mother?' said he to one of his daughters. She's upstairs, replied the girl. He return ed to his book, and looking up again q few minutes later, put the same question to his daughter and received the same answer. Once more he re- turned to his reading: once more he looked up, with the same question on his lips. His sister broke in: "Why. really. John, it would seem as if you could not get on five minutes without your wife. That's why I married her." he replied.
 The great German general Moltke married Miss Burt, a plain, not very cultivated girl. and lived most happily with her until her death, which took place on Christmas Eve, 1868. Very touching was his devotion to her memory Upon his estate at Kreisau he built mausoleum, situated on an eminence embowered in foliage. In front of the altar of this little chapel was placed the simple oak coffin, al- ways covered with leaves, in which the remains of his wife reposed. Sculp- tured in the apse was a finely carved figure of our Lord in an attitude of blessing. Above were inscribed the words Love is the fufilment of the law.'-New York World.
