the plan proposed. retains the control
of all laws for Ieyying taxes and the
right to review every law distributing
appropriations.
The right to vote in Cuba at present
is limited TO persons paying s. taxes
and to a few Of the learned professions;
but it is not proposed nor expected
that any person VINO has ever been in
insurrection against the Spanish rule
viii be permitted TO vote, hence only
Spaniards living in Cuba would vote.
These so-called reforms are to apply
first to Porto Rico and later, when the
insurrection is over. TO Cuba. They
are but dust and ashes thrown into the
mir before the eyes of the world. There
is nothing given up by Spain; there is
no home rule about it; there is no au-
ronomy in the proposed plan. The fact
of the case is. the Spanish government
i'm no way intends TO permit its col
opies 10 govern themselves. The new
deceit will only increase the hate OF
the Cubans against Spain, and the fact
that the new administration in the
rr.ed States. by whose friendly aid
the Cuban patriots have been setting
much store, will not interfere in their
behalf against the tyranny, outrage
and butchery of the Spaniards, will not
be encouraging to the brave band OF
patriots who are fighting for their lives,
liberties and home. on the little island.
Probably John Sherman is afraid that

Of numbers. we could call on our big

speed Is concerned, there Is nothing
In the Spanish navy, or our own, eth

them. Spain has one big line upon
which II could draw. the Campania
Transatlantica, whose thirty-two
steamers have a gross tonnage Of more
than 100, 900.
The defeat Of Spain in a sea contest
would. II will be seer from the facts

u party Of twelve others, making th'r-

and never missed a train or a boat or
a meal o. had an ache or pain among
us the whole time Then he told a
laughable story, says an exchange.
1T has been the custom Of the surviv-
ors of the old national rifles to meet
each year on the anniversary Of our
mastering into service in the war Of
the rebellion and enjoy a dinner and
swap "reminiscences nea and remote.
Several years ago I had the boys to my
house and had prepared the very best
dinner l knew how to give. There are
usually sixteen or seventeen survivors
at such a gathering, but this time when
We we're about to enter the dining room
somebody counted noses and discov-
cred we we're thirteen all told. Now,
those other twelve men were brave and
courageous gentlemen, who had faced
cannon unflinchingly and were afraid
Of nothing tangible. but not a single
man OF them was willing to enter that
room. At last, after a half-hour's wait,
during which my dinner was rapidly
approaching the spoiled stage, another
man came and in we went. Now, that
man who made the fourteenth In the
party and broke the unlucky spell, &C
cording to the twelve other guests, was
Charlie Alexander and before the din
ner was concluded he had to be carried
home and in two months he was dead.
All the others are living yet"

WEBSTER STATUE DEFACEp.

Visitors to the Capitol Use It to Strik,
Matches On.
Daniel Webster's statute at the CAM.
tol Is having a hard time of 1t, and the.
police are scurrying about in frantic
endeavor to suppress q new form of
desecrating the marble representation
of the great orator, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch.
When 1t was put in position the rep
resentatives of his native state were de-
lighted over the fact that although the
statute is a small one. because Daniel
himself was understood, 1t was advan-
~tageously located at the very entrance
to statuary hall, the large room which
was once the house Of representatives.
which echoed to his eloQuence prior to-
his senatorial days.
Unfortunately for the friends of Dan.
lei, the statute was altogether too con-
%spicuOus, and II became a favorite point
OF attack for struggling visitors with
unlighted cigars. Not long ago some
vandal scratched a match on the tail
Of Daniels coat. and later another
mark OF sulphur was discovered across
his foot. Both OF the offenders were ar
rested and released on payment of a
small deposit. which they promptly
forfeited, but the attention OF the police
has at last been diverted from the Pere
Marquette statue, which now rests in
all its marble lOveliness free from at
tack by religious fanatics, and they
give all their time to watching people
with unlighted cigars as they pass
Webster's statue, and the man who in
cautiously draws a match from his
pocket at the critical moment Ia pretty
certain to be pounced upon by one OF
the blue-coated guardians Of the capitoi
and warned that II is forbidden to
scratch a match on even the innermost
recesses Of the clothing or limbs OF the
great e%xpounder OF the constitution.
