CANEA, Feb. 20.-A small force Of
British, Italian and French marines are
occupying the town of Sitia, on the
eastern extremity of the island, where
few days ago two thousand Moslems
vera massacred by Christians. Quiet
has been restored and no further dis.
order need be feared. Hostages are be-
ing exchanged by the Christians aud
Moslems, and both sides show readi-
ness to accept European arbitration.
In the town OF Retimo, however, disor-
der still prevails and the Moslems con-
niue to pillage the houses OF the
Christians.
The insurgents who are occupying
the bills back of Canea sent warning
yesterday of their intention to attack
the town. To this notice Admiral
Canevaro, commanding the combined
fleets, sent a reply giving the insur
gent leaders to understand that the
foreign warships would intervene at
the first sign of an attack on the part of
the insurgents.

Mysterious Affair.

FALLS VILLAGE, Conn.,, Feb. 90
Mrs. Hattie Chaplin, aged SO years,
wife of w. II. Chaplin, postmaster of this
village. and Charles f. Mead, travel
ing salesman, also of this village, were
found dead in the DINING room of the
Chaplin home this morning. Both had
been shot through the head with IS
calibre revolver which lay between
them. Both bodies were warm when
found. The discovery was made by
Mrs. Chapin's ten-year- old son. 1t is
believed that the pair had been init
mate, but at noon to-day it is impossible
to say which did the shooting. Mead
was an employee of the King Paper
Company, of Springfield.
The authorities this afternoon arc satisfied
that Mrs. Chaplin shot Mead and then herself.
Mr. Chaplin was away all last night and re-
turned this morning, half an hour after the
discovery of the bodies. He is in condition
bordering on collapse. The names of both
the dead persons have been connected in
quiet way in an affair of tho heart, but the
tragedy came as an awful shock.

The ACCOUNTS of the atrocities OF all
wars are naturally exaggerated by
the sufferers on both sides, but those
given by refugee Cubans of the cruelty
of the Spaniards, if correct, would prove
that the latter are monsters in human
shape, and do every thing else with the
insurgents sympathizers but eat them
I'D. As the Spanish army is composed
of regularly organized and disciplined
white men, brought up in the Christian
religion, and commanded by highly edu-
Gated and punctiliously courteous off,
GERS, while that of the insurgents is
made up ofdisorganized bands ofnegros,
scalawags and foreign adventures, I'M
preludiced people are disposed to be-
lieve that if there be any excess OF the
cruelty in Cuba, necessarily incident to
an insurrectionsry war, those guilty OF
it are to be found among the latter,
rather than the former.

The opening session of The Senate
yesterday lasted only thirty minutes,
the proceedings being largely formal.
The Senate adjourned at SIS o'clock
last night after having spent almost
eight hours in continuous executive
session on the arbitration treaty. No
result was accomplished beyond voting
down the motion made yesterday by
Senator Nelson to postpone further con-
sideration of the treaty until March 8.
Senator Daniel made strong speech
against the treaty. When the Senate
adjourned it was apparent to the most
sanguine friends of the treaty that no
vote could be secured at this session Of
the Senate.
A spirited debate on the general sub
ject of the payment of claims found 10
be due against the United States was in
dulged in by the House during the con-
sideration of the general deficiency APP
propriation bill. The consideration of
the bill was not completed.

SATURDAY EVENING, FEB. 90, 1887

THERE ARE honest, industrious. pros
nerous and reputable white citizens in
every county of the United States who
can neither read nor write. Few OF
the ex.slaves, upon whom the privilege
of suffrage was conferred, can do SO.
But, by the new immigration bill which
has passed the y. S. Senate, no matter
how honest, industrious or skllltul a
foreign laborer may be, unless ne
can both read and write, he cannot
set his foot upon this Gland of the
free and home Of the brave" But ed
ucated anarchists, socialists and dy-
namiters. are allowed to come here
and preach their incendiary and
infdel doctrines without objection.
The South will not be affected by the
bill for few immigrants ever find their
wav to this section, but that fact does
not prevent her people from seeing the
gross injustice of the proposed measure.
Every country has the right to exclude
from its territory Objectionable people,
but it is just as true, that in the exercise
of that right, justice, equality and dis
erection should be observed. Mr.. Cleve-
land has put his veto upon many bills,
but he has rarely had an opportunity
of placing one where it would do more
good than on the particular bill refer
