Havana, Nov. l3.-That Havana
is in the crater of an internal erup-
ton OF magnitude and possible Sc
rlous consequences is now CON
ceded beyond the question of a
doubt. Rioting may not break out,
for the power of Gen. Blanco may
stay by force of arms the approach
ing crisis, yet the situation bears a
most sombre aspect.
The troops have not been paid,
some of them not for two years,
and since Thursday, when the two
companies of the Orden Publico,
the military police, made dem
onstratiOn before the palace and
demanded the some consideration
at the hands Of the Spanish gov
ernment that it accorded the Off
GERS, the latter receiving their pay
with all due regularity, the situa-
ton has become acute, for the dem
onstration, being the boldest of
oil mutinies, to have taken
place here during the war,
and the first among the Or
den Publico, was but the begin
ning-was the first note Of rebel
lion among the long suffering sol
diers against the tyranny that has
made the men no better than slaves,
and cruelty that has grown un-
bearable even to q class Of men
who know no better treatment.
While the regulars and tho Or
den Publico are two very different
departments Of the military SER
vice, suffering has formed bond
OF sympathy between them that
bodies i'll for even the brief power
yet held here by Spain. The reg
ulars, several regiments Of which
were ordered out to suppress the
mutiny, were ordered to fire upon
them, but the former have not
been paid either, and at the com
mand "Fire!' they as one man
grounded their arms and refused
to obey. They said it would be
murder to kill their brothers in
misery, and even the ever present
fear Of inevitable and cruel pun
ishment failed to enforce the ter
rible command.

SHERMAN BREAKS HIS SILENCE

Hon. John Sherman, who is now
enjoying the quictuda of private
life ut Washington, although still n
keen observer of the trend of DO
lltlcal affairs, recently broke his
silence regarding the cause of his
resignation from President Mckin-
ley cabinet rs Secretary of State.
Mr.. Sherman talked freely and
said:
| "lt is true that Mckinley and
Hanna did not really want mo in
the cabinet, but they did want my
Senatorial seat They claimed
they could not make up the cabi-
net without me, and | knowing
that Hanna, who had always been
my friend, wanted to succeed me in
the Senate, did not care to seem
dIsobliglng. SO | went into the
cabinet and Hanna got the rest
of my senatorial term, but when
ne tried for n full term he was
elected without II vote to spare.
Then 1t began to be said that
was senile.
'iianna was among tho first to
say that | had lost my mentality.
1t was not q very kind return for
my vacating my seat for him.
While | was in the cabinet | rarely
saw the President in connection
with the duties of my office. They
put man in there from Canton
who ran for Office once, | think.
and was defeated. He did not
seem to have much to do in the
State Department, but he went to
see the President every night and
rehearsed what he had done there.
"As he was my inferior | paid
little attention to him or to what
he was doing until one day the
President said: 'Mr. Sherman.
what you have been saying is en-
barrassing to Judge Day asked
the President if he thought | would
say anything to injure the admin
stratlon. He repeated his former
statement somewhat Extensively and
became offended and sent in nv
resignation. | have always sup

the cause of the rain is on account

Our regiment is doing fairly we'll

Quite an excitement occurred in

by our company commanders to be
on the alert for the night and to
keep our guns and belts handy, for
we were apt to be called ont dur

orders and went to bed, but about
twelve o'clock, we were aroused by
a bugle call, and we jumped out of
our hunks, strapped our belts on,
took our guns and lined up in front
OF our quarters ready for duty.
but we did not have the luck TO get
out and try our guns. After we
were lined up for Il while, Colo
mel Grubbs came around and
told us to fall out and retire to
our quarters. 1t seems that the
trouble was with the Cubans. They
had been in town all day, cele-
brating some holiday, and had
made some threats-almost taking
the town that highland held an
election of their own to elect IA
chief Of police and mayor, but
their threats did not work u little

UNIFORMS OF ALL TIMES.

During the revolutionary war each
colony had its militia, and the uni
forms of each body were different. La
ter the higher officers came to be
known by the colored ribbons worn
across their breasts, and the lower OIL
fcers by the cockade worn in their
hats.
In 1921 dark blue was declared to be
the national uniform color of both ofii-
GERS and enlisted men, the only excep-
ton being scarlet coats for musicians
and gray coats for cadets. Various
changes took place in the shape of the
clothing Of the soldiers until 1865
when our uniforms became practically
fixed. the cloth for the trousers being
light blue and the facings being light
blue for infantry, yellow for cavalry
and rcd for artillery.
The varied costumes Of the return
ing soldier boys have aroused an inter-
est in uniforms in general. Valerius

red forms a conspicuous part OF

THE WORD NEGRO.

A large majority Of our people OBJ
iect to the term Negro and prefer the
term ''Colored" This is a mistake.
1t is no compliment for rs to be des-
ignated as "Colored People" The
fact Of the matter is, the term "Col-
ored" as applies to US is meaningless.
"Colored' is a very general term; 1t
applies to several different people
whose complexion is not fair, hence
it can have no special reference or
strict application to the black man.
The school geography tell Us that
there are five races, but this IS not
true. There have never been but three
races on the earth, the red, the white,
and black. The yellow and the brown,
with all other shades, are but derived
from another ANAL gamation Of three
others which were prior and radical.
The correct definition Of the word Ne
gro, is blaclz-a moor, descendant
of Africa, and includes the whole race.
wherever they may be dwelling
When we desire to be known BY the
name that VIII designate locality, 1t IS
proper to say American Negro, Euro
pean Negro, Canadian Negro, North
ern Negro, Southern Negro, etc The
word Negro is the name Of race of
men, just as the word Causasian IS the
name Of a race Of men, aud should be
spelled with capital y. The term
Negro is ethnoogically and scientific
ally correct when applied to the race.
There is nothing wrong about it and
if there is, it is for rs to make il hon
orable. Races are what they make
themselves. and the terms by which
they are designated stand o. fall OF
this theory Kentucky Standard.

THE LUXURY OF DOING GOOD.
Queen of Naples Is the Angel of the
Poor.

Upon no member of the late empress
of Austria's family have the grief and
horror of her assassination fallen Win
more crushing weight than upon her
sister, the queen of Naples, says the
PHILADELPHIA Press. Living in the most
complete retirement in Paris Tor the
greater part of the year, the name OIL
the queen of Naples is never seen III
connection with any court or social les
tivities. The luxury OF court hao
been denied to the queen, it is true
but not what is for her the luxury
of doing good" Day after day large
packet of letters is laid before her, anu
each contains pitiful appeal Tor alu
from some poor Neapolitan. every
letter is read by the queen herseh anu
every applicant is aided in some way
from her own private means, uuleoo
it can be clearly proved that the oe-
mand for help is fictitious one. Inc
quarters where the Neapolltan poor
reside are regarded as among the most
dangerous in the French metropolis,
and would not be entered, even py
men, without some 1uStlnaDle nISSlF-
ings. Nevertheless the queen con-
stantly penetrates fearlessly and un-
guarded into the most dangerous OF
these quarters, where even a French
policeman would hesitate to enter
alone. One day 1t will be to visit some
poor Neapolitan child dying OF con-
sumption-a terrible scourge among
these half-starved southerners in the
rigorous Paris winters-whom she
compels the padrone to let her SEND
home to Italy; or a dying workman,
whose wife and children she consoles
not less with kind and gracious words
Of sympathy than with the maternal
help she renders. Poor boy, we can
not save his life" said her majesty
to the writer last winter, speaking OF
one of her numerous proteges, whom
