Although accounts differ somewhat as
to the exact character and quantity of
the military material landed In Cuba by
the Laurada. on her last voyage, there
Is no doubt whatever or its great value

Dortance, perhaps, was the artillery, de-
livered without the slightest trouble to
General CaliNtO Garcia, who can now
move with greater confidence against
Spanish fortified towns. The Laurada
also took back the Cuban War Min
lister. Carlos Roloff. who did not hest
tate to forfeit the money value Of his
bond to our Government for the good
tidings and practical aid he could carry
But perhaps the most striking feature
Of this voyage was the bold landing Of
the blockade runner in the face Of Span
ish forces. at no less 4 port than Banes
with the town OF Gibara near by.
Thus the port was as useful to the
Lalirada as If wholly an insurgent pos
session. With the landing Of Roloff, ac-
compan!ed by the son or lose Marti and
not Il few other notable persons, includ-
ing several skilled artillcrists, and with
the delivery of the guns. ammunition
and medicines, it. was made clear how
little real Importance there Is In the
objection to the recognition Of the pa
triots that they hold no seaport.

THE MISEIsERE.

ariserere! throbbingly
Violins
Wall as spirits sobbingly
Wall for sins;
When they evermore must walt
And abide
In the darkness, by the gate,
just outside.
AS the breath Of violet
With itrbrings
Thoughts of summer suns long set
And past springs
Springs with meadows sere and brown
Meier to bloom;
Radiant suns forever down
In the gloom.
So the "Ntiserere" comes,
TO my year.,
Sad as beat Of mufied drums
Round q bier;
Bringing with each plaintive sound
All Of pain,
That I've felt: each wound
Drips red rain
Every sting and every blow
Not few
Hurt Of friend or stab Of foe,
Aches anew;
While the sorrows in my breast
That have lain
Dragged a little while to rest
Stir again.
Wizard, violins. ye call
10 my soul,
With your. "Miserere,'' all
Bitter dole.
Perfect. humar-yoiced, complete
Highest art
But Your wailing, sad and sweet
Breaks my heart.
