A Horrible Outrage.

Spanish guerrillas continue to commit all
sorts of terrible crimes against pacificos
in Cuba. The most thrilling of all is the
one committed on the sugar estate Dolo-
res. Petrona Pia Santos and her hus-
band, Ventura Santos, lived in hut with
their children among the mountains of
Cambao. There a Spanish column dis
covered them that day, and they were
taken to the estate Dolores. The wife of
Santos, on arriving at the estate, gave
birth to a child. The Spanish soldiers
put her On box &C ammunition and with
their machetes and bayonets cut her to
pieces. The unfortunate Santos tried to
defend mis- wife, and fought for her with
his bare hands, but was quickly over
powered and shot.

wev1er Receives His Orders.

Havana dispatches setting forth that
Captain General Weyler has been ordered
to relinauish his authority at once to Gen.
Castelanos, who will command until the
arrival of Gen. Blanco, tend to conhrm
the rumors to the effect that the Spanish
Government regards him with Suspicion
rumors which have been current among
the Cuban sympathizers here for some
time. Weyler has been considered
treacherous as we'll as an ambitious OH
Ger, who might turn the Spanish army
over to the Cubans if he thought he might
pacify and control the island in that way,
but now that his authority has been shorn
there is no longer chance tina: he VIII
betray Spain. Weyler is exceedingly DIS
appointed over the trea tment that mas
been accorded him by the ministry at
Madrid and the ministry, on the other
hand, is suspicious of the retiring captain
general He will be given some mission
at home which will employ his time ana
perhaps keep him from intriguing for the
overthrow or the embarrassment of the
Sagasta cabinet.

lean Vatican Must Go.

Girls in the Philadelphia high schools
must not read Lies Miserables" in hours.
At least they may not read it in French.
Chairman Thomas G. Morton of COM
mittee Of the board of education declared
he had read the book, and considered it
improper for the reading of young ladies.
Principal William d. Rorer Of the girls
high school presented list of text and
supplementary reading books, in which
the masterpiece Of Victor Hugo was in
cluded. The committee listened to what
Chairman Morton had to say, and from
that struck the adventures of Jean Val
jean from the list. Mr.. Morton pointed
out places in the English TRANSACTIONS
which were scarcely what he regarded as
family reading, and assured the commit
tee the text in the original French was de-
cidediy more Objectionable. He pointed
out that Victor Hugo had drawn with a
rather free hand the rela tin4s Of men
and women in the book called "Fantine,"
one of the books which make up that mas
terpiece of the great French author which
all the world knows as Lies Miserabes."
He ran rapidly through the romance
which follows the fortunes of Vatican,
and assured his confreres that it contain
ed passages which could hardly be ap-
proved as an intellectual diversion for
young women in school. Lies Miserables'
has always been regarded as an essential
in any we'll regulated library collection.

coal mines made raid on the strikers at
Sandy Greek and arrested fifteen men,
including the members of the brass band.

The band refused to stop playing and the
entire party was placed under arrest with
out resistance. The prisoners were taken

The members of the band took their arrest
good-naturedly and played their instru-

railroad station to the sheriff's office.
Chief Deputy Evans said the men were
riotous and he feared trouble. This is
denied by the strikers. Superintendent De
Armit claims that the three mines of the
