when asked by newspaper re-
porter in Philadelphia the reason
for these frequent assertions, made
the following statement: Few
people have any idea of the num-
Der of assertions from warships
when they enter port. Sometimes
as many as twenty or thirty men
take French leave, and despite the
offer of $40 reward for the arrest
of each man, they are seldom ap-
pretended. There does not exist
dissatisfaction on board any of the
ships, and the fault lies in the fact
that men of foreign birth, without
recommendation, have been allow

men received a months pay, they

The arrest, trial and conviction
of Commander Booth-Tucker, in
New York City, during May last,
for disturbance of the quiet of the
night, has created considerable feel
ing among those sympathizing with
him, as we'll as others. The law
guarantees freedom of worship
alike to all sects. But this freedom
seems according to the reports, to
have been forfeited ON several occa-
sions, amounting to an unlawful
disturbance of the quiet of the
night. witnesses claimed that
one night there were 100 persons
in the barracks more than 200 of
whom were raising a din with
comets, drums and tambourines.
All were singing songs to the tunes
of The Bowery' and The Sunshine
of Paradise Alley. Another night
they burned the devil, and on a
third they dedicated the Heavenly
Babe, Herbert Booth-Tucker.' On
these nights, also on the night when
there was "a grand hallelujah eye
OPENER witnesses said they could
not Sleep" If confined to reason
able hours, no complaint would
ever have been sustained in court,
whether the devil were driven
away from the premises or not. In
this case, the ground of conviction
rested in the fact that the noises
were kept up till late hours, even
after midnight, when rest and quiet
are demanded by the people, and
the public guardians are bound to
preserve it.

and the wounded insurgents and their
attendants murdered. There is no ex-
aggeration in the reports which have
come to the United States of these at
tacks on the hospitals. Nor have the
atrocities of the guerrillas, who are
part of the Spanish forces, been eXag-
gerated. The gueTrillas do drag the
bodies of their victims into the town
to be publicly exhibited. They are
guilty of unspeakable crimes.
These extracts are quite suffi
cient to show that the war IN Cuba
is likely to continue as long as
Spain can furnish the money to
do so, or the insurgent Cubans can
find leaders capable of maintaining
the guerilla mode of warfare,
which is the only mode in which
it has been conducted during the
two years that the present revolu-
ton has been in progress. Wheth-
er the United States will attempt
to interfere in the struggle remains
to be seen. The probability is that
she will not do so, unless compelled
to, by some indiscreet act of Spain,
which the latter will carefully
avoid. For a more detailed ac-
count of the situation in Cuba,
