Reflections of a Bachelor.

4 mans words are most significant,
and a woman's silences.
A man may say that he admits that
he is prejudiced, but he never really be-
lieves it.
When a woman gives q man a compli-
merit, she generally spells it by trying to
make a serial story Of it.
When woman is on her wedding trip.
she thinks her husband has quit loving
her as soon as he gets interested in a
bill Of fare.
You can always tell by the way chill

much their mothers put on before com

CUT THE CABLES.
Alleged that Cuba is Now Com
pietely Isolated-Spain in
Bad Way.

Off Santiago de Cuba, June So p. IN.
Per the Associated press dispatch boat
Wanda, via Kingston, Jamaica, June 4.
The last cable strands binding Cuba to
the outside world were cut this afternoon
by a cable vessel conveyed here by the
United States dispatch gunboat Dolphin.
This black sea crab delved all day along
the coast, hour by hour, and its powerful
claws at length brought up the barnacle-
clustered cable strands and snapped
them. and tonight Cuba is wholly isolat-
ed.
The first cable picked up was that run
ming to Kingston. 1t was found early this
morning. The coast loop connecting San
tiago and Guantanamo was then cut.
Proceeding to Guantanamo, the cable
vessel finally grappled and severed the
HaE1ien cable. a
81 This ends the cable-cutting operations
begun a month ago, when the Marble
head and the Window lost FIVE men in a
fight off Cienfuegos, where three cables
were crippled and several hundred Span
iards We're killed by shells from the war
ships. Afterwards the st. Louis and the
Wampatuck cut the San Juan de Puerto
Rico cable at Santiago
The strands cut today were the only
ones remaining, except a few coast loops,
and these will probably be severed in a
short time.
The cutting of these cables is almost
as serious for the Spaniards in coast
towns as the cutting of foreign cables, the
land wires, connecting the coast towns
being wholly at the mercy of the insur-
gents. Therefore, in the event of Ameri-
can troops landing in Cuba the absence
of the coast loops will seriously interfere
with the hasty mobilization Of the Span
ish troops.

that zone could not complain in
the Supreme Court of the charge
of the judge to the Jury, unless
he objected thereto at the time it
was given; because if the District
Judge had committed an error in
his charge and that error was call
ed to his attention. it could then
and there be corrected; but when
an accused remained silent and
took the chances of an acquital,
he also had to assume the risks of
a conviction"
And the Supreme Court added:
"The charge of the Judge to the
Jury must be considered as q
whole, and the practice of selec-
ting therefrom isolated passages
for criticism and animadersion
will not be sanctioned, when it ap-
pears that such passage, although
apparently erroneous, are fully ex-
planned by other passages in the
charge"
Can it be that Justice Blanchard
read the petition of the Judge in
full and rendered the decision he
did? We are of the opinion that
he never read the charge and SIM
ply rendered his opinion on the
brief submitted by Counsel for
the accused.
We are informed that District
Attorney Simon has filed q motion
with the Supreme Court, praying
for rehearing, and if granted, We
are certain that the verdict of the
jury will be maintained, notwith-
standing the opinion Of politician
Blanchard.

Far away across the wide ocean blue,
Where man is treacherous and woman true,
Lies land circled by two mighty seas
Transparent like the skies We love to see.

And the melodious strsins of the guitar
Lull one to sound sleep waited from afar.

To punish the tyrant for his acts insane.

POLITICIAN ON THE
SUPREME BENCH.

Lie MosSouStr HAS always Uccu
opposed to filling certain positions
by politicians simply for the rea-
son of giving them job whether
they were qualified for the posi-
tion or not, and right now Justice
Blanchard seems to be filling a.
Job for which it does not seem
qualified, if we are to. judge him
by the decision he rendered last
week, in the case of the State of
Louisiana VS. John Reed, appealed
from st. Martin parish, which
seems to be perfectly clear case.
The facts are as follows:
In January 1898, John Reed,
colored, was convicted for the Sc
cond time of having murdered
Joachim Comeau, and sentenced
to hang. An appeal was taken to
the Supreme Court and passed
upon last week. The Supreme
Court maintained all the rulings
of the District Court, but remain
ded the case for New trial. on
the ground stated in the opinion
of the Supreme Court, delivered
by Judge N. c. Blanchard that:
sIt was fatal error for the Dis
trict Judge to charge that the kill
ing of Comeau was III external
circumstance from which the jury
had to infer whether it was done
with or without malice" because,
says Mr.. Blanchard, the jury
might have understood from this,
that the District judge was telling
them that Reed had actually kill
ed Comeau.
The charge of the Judge was
delivered in writing, and we have
carefully read it, and instead of
the pretension set out by the Su-
preme Court, as above, we lind to
the contrary that the District
Judge, in subsequent passage of
the charge, had positively and
distinctly instructed the jury that
"The burden of proof is on the
State; it must prove beyond a rea-
sonable doubt to you, the jury,
that the killing of Comesu was
done by the accused John Reed,
and that the said killing was done
with malice aforethought and with
generalization; unless these facts
are proven to your satisfaction;
then the State has failed to make
out its case"
Moreover when the charge of
the District Judge was delivered
to the jury, no objection thereto
was made by the accused John
Reed who was represented by an
able Counsel, nor was any bill of
exception reserved by said Coun-
sel to any portion of the said
charge.
