cruel people-what you call in English
fiends.'
Lucaz retold with vivid variations the
old. old story of Spanish cruelty and
treachery as he had witnessed it in prism.
He related the horrible massacre of Mrs.
Dolores and her children in Santa Clara
province while he was a Cuban soldier,
because two of her tons. eighteen and
twenty-three years of age, were soldiers
under Gomez. The Spaniards went to
the house of Mrs. Dolores at midnight
and when she informed them that she did
not know where her sons were they
strung her up to a tree by her thumbs.
Failing to eXtort a confession by torture
and make the devoted mother tell where
her bows could be found to be masSacred,
they riddled her with bullets, shot her
small children, and left the woman hang
ing by her thumbs as warning to other
natriotic mothers Her body was found
and buried the following day by Lucaz
and other members of Bandoras' guerrii-
las.
The cavalry in the CUBAN service, ac-
cording to Lucaz, is in much the same
condition the Confederate cavalry or
.Critter Sojers' were during the late
war. When man loses his horse, or it
is shot in action, he is required to leave
the cavalry and become an infantryman
or artillerist until he by some hook or
crook procures another mount.
I,ucaz hopes the Cuban junta or Uncle
Sam may give him another opportunity to
90 TO the island and commence where he
left off when he was captured by the
enemy, although he knows full well his
recapture will mean a speedy and terrible
death.

The Ell Paso correspondent Of the

these kind words to say about Mr.. j.
A. Smith.
The postoffice was thought to lay be-
tween Editor J. A. Smith of the Even

claim to the Office was that he was a

Smith went east with Endorsements in

former postmaster under Harrison.
His term Tapped over into Cleveland 3
administration, but in an .vil hour he
wrote an editor al criticising the adj

the editor of the Times had scopy OF

with unheard of things. She said:
II didn't take any more than usual
interest in the speaker and did not be-

strange sensation. and as the choir
began singing I gradually entered into a
semiconscious state and felt as though
being waited through space.

Movement of Warships.

A recent Washington dispatch
says: The bsttleship Texas and the
gunboat Nashville will leave Calves
ton, Tex, today for Key West, where
they will rejoin the other vessels of
Admiral Sicard's squadron at that
point. No orders for this movement
were sent by the navy department. as
it is stated that it is in accord ance with
the orders given several weeks ago by
which the two chips were directed to
remain atu G alveston from the 18th to
the 23d instant, to participate in the
Mardi Gras celebration there, aud re-
turn to Key West on the latter date.
This was before the Maine disaster, SO

have no possible significance on the re-
cent occurrence. The Nashville has
determination to send another ship
when the present excitement has
Gained, the choice lying between the
Nashville and Montgomery. No de-
termination, however, has yet been
reached on that point.
Simultaneous with the departure OF
the Texas and Nashville from Calves
ton for Key West, the Marblehead
will leave New Orleans and the Detroit
movements are also q part OF the or
ders given early this month, before the
Maine disaster. The navy department
has received no notification of the act
ual sailing of the four ships up to noon,
but these is expected to come during
the day, in view of the definite orders
heretofore given for their sailing on
the 23d. The Montgomery is also due
at Key West, having left San Domingo
for Key West on the 18th.
The result will be to bring together

NEGRO POSTMASTER KILLED.
And the Post Office Burned by Persons
Unknown.

Washington.-Infor OF the
murder of q negro postm aster, Baker,
at Lake City, s. c., and the burning OF
his Office came to the postoffice depart.
ment today IN q dispatch from Inspec.
tor Williams, in charge of the district
who has headquarters at Chattanooga.
Baker, who is said to have been q
respectable colored man and who bad
previously taught school, was ap-
pointed to the Office in July last. I,
is said at the department that he was
q man OF quiet, unobtrusive habits and
had filed the position short while
only before the threats were made.
There was no place in The city to be
had for keeping the postofice, ard #
was removed to the schoolhouse. The
citizens boycotted the office with some
degree of success. No serious com
plants had been received concerning
the condition of affairs very rece ntly,
and it was hoped that the prejudice
against the postmaster had died down.
The postm aster general has offered a
reward of $500 for the arrest and con-
viction of the persons who burned the
postofice at Lake City, S. c., on Mon.
day night, a reward OF $500 for the ar
rest and conviction of the person who
murdered the postmaster at the same
time. Gen. Gary has issued an ei1er
to discontinue the Office at Lake d >

UNEXPECTED IMMERSION.

His Constituents.
- While Representative James Hamil-

chronicled in the metropolitan press
Mr. Lewis did not attend the sessions Of
the Fifty fifth congress in the last days
of the dying year. preferring to get in
closer touch with his constituents. One
of the journeys incident to this prelim-
mary campaigning took him up in the
vicinity Of the Nooksack river, where
he went primarily to look into the pos
dbilifies of opening that waterway more
completely to navigation and inciden-
tally to make political speech on the
dominant issues.

was Immediately disastrous, and Repre-
sentative Lewis sank beneath the wa

the whirling trunks to mark the local
ity of his disappearance. His political
companions promptly fished him out
and provided him with woodsmen's ap-
parel at neighboring cabin. But Mr..
Lewis, whose resources have been proved
more than once by his readiness in house
debate, was nothing daunted. He ad-
dressed his fellow citizens the same
evening ON current political issues, and
his hearers were none the less attentive
because of his unexpected immersion. -

Wonderful Medical Invention.

New York.-The invention is an.
uounced of the phonendoscope, ar
Instrument of wonderful value in
studying the condition of the internal
organs Of the body. It is declared BY
physicians to be great advance on
the old ste,hoscope. The phonen.
doscope conveys to the physician the
sounds made by the internal organs
thus telling him whether they are
healthy or not. BY its aid he can not
only ascertain the cCnoiton OF 81
organ. but trace its shape. 1t has
been discovered with the phonendos-
copei that the stomach assumes q diff
ferent form when full of the different
kinds of food and o drink. The
rspidity with which various kinds
of food and drink are digested can
also be studied accurately with the
phonendoscope. The instrument is
the invention of Drs. Blauchi and
Bszzi, of France.

Consumption in Goats.

It has heretofore been supposed that
the goat is practically proof against
tubercular disease, but Bulling, Ger
man physician, recently records case
of elementary tuberculosis in which
both lungs were adherent, and a cons
siderable portion Of the lungs was filled
with tubercular masses. The goat was
six years of age, and was daily driven
to town, where it furnished milk for
inralids, class of persons who are
most susceptible to tuberculosis. 1t is
evident that goats milk requires steril-
izing as much as cows milk.-Good
