GENERAL WEYLER has issued an order at
Havana that hereafter all women arrested
in Cuba who are called "snspicious' shall
be tried by court martial. While the PEN

that II the women are found guilty the

AN easier feeling now exists in Athens,
and the war fever is slowly subsiding. Re-
serves continue to arrive from the interior,
and the enthusiasm still prevails, but at the
same time the belief that actual warfare
has been averted is becoming popular. The
government, 1t Is stated, has informed
France and Great Britain that Greece Is
willing to place the Greek troops in Crete
under the direction of the Powers and also
to abandon her proposal for Cretan pie
bscite and leave the Cretan Chamber OF
Deputies to pronounce in favor OF autonomy
or union with Greece, as that body may
elect.

COLONEL JOHN r. MosBY, the Confeder-

California, called on President Mckinley
last Wednesday. 1t was the first time the

A Cuban Renaissance.

The most notorious filibustering ex-
petition ever organized in this country
to aid Cuban patriots is that OF the
steamer Virginius, the remembrance
of which even now causes a shudder to
many Americans. The story of the
Virginius is known to every one. The
little stsamer had already gained rep
utation in the Ten Years. War by slip
ping in and out of the Cuban land
locked harbors with amazing success,
time and again, carrying arms and re-
Inducements to the patriot army. AT
last, on October 81, 1873, the Virgin
ius was captured with all on board by
the Spanish gunboat Tornado. She
had ITO passengers and crew, includ-
ing several American and Englishmen.
The virginius, with all on board, was
taken by the Tornado to Santiago, on
the southwestern coast of Cuba, With
hardly pretense at trial the Spanish
commander had fifty-three of his pris'
oners shot down in cold blood.

A SERIOUS dispute occurred last week
among the natives OF Jamaica employed as

others OF the canal employees. The men

Lincoln Rememb ered.

A Kentucky contributor sends to the
Youths Companion a pleasing anec-
dote of Abraham Lincoln. II has
never before been published, he says,
and was received by him from the
other party to the story, who is still
living in Kentucky. 1t illustrates once
more the genial, friendly temper OF the
great war president. During the pres
ldential campaign Of 1910, when Gen.
eral William Henry Harrison was the
Wing candidate, Lincoln, then q young
man just rising into prominence, ac-
cepted an invitation to address an audi
ence in Union county, KY, at Wing
barbecue.
He was met at landing on the Ohio
river about ten miles from the place OF
the barbecue by a committee headed
by Captain George W. Riddle and was
escorted to the meeting seated in a
spring wagon by the side OF Captain
Riddle, the driver.
On the road Mr.. Lincoln entertained
the committee with several amusing
anecdotes and on arriving at his desti-
nation delivered an able and eloquent
address-probably the only address that
he ever delivered In his native state.
After the speaking Captain Riddle,
who commanded q military company,
fired q salute in honor of the orator of
the day, but the cannon, an old six
FOUNDER, was overcharged and ex-
ploded, though without any serious
results. Captain Riddle raised sub
scription to pay Mr.. Lincoln's expenses,
contributing literally himself, and
then escorted him back to the river
The future president was much pleased
with his visit and 30 expressed him.
