LATE intelligence from Cuba is
to the effect that the last state
OF those people OF that island who
have any material interest in it's
prosperity is worse than the first
as the protection they received from the
Spanish authorities has been removed
and they are now left to the tender
mercies Of the negro and scalawag iu-
surgents, who, having no property OF
their own, have apparently determined
that nobody else shall have any, and
are therefore selling or destroying
every thing in sight. Truely, the Span
ish. was humanitarian war.

IT NOW appears that OF the popula-
ton of the entire island Of Cuba only
$4,000 are white people, vast MAORI
ty OF whom are Spanish and creoles,
whose interests and feelings were with
Spain during the late Spanish war.
But so ignorant were the people
of this country of the true condition OF
Cuba, that they allowed themselves to
be fooled By the interested or reckless
jingoes into the belief that the reverse
was the case. And yet geography and
history are taught in the public schools.

SINGULAR CASE.
THAT OF LEWIS ALIAS SCALES,
LATE OF KEYsvILLE.
lie stood High I'm Texas--A MaIfgn
Tnnuence-His Trial Would lie q
Mere Formally - why He IS
Wanted.

KEYsvILLE. VA, February 1.-CSpe-
cial.)-I wired you a few days since OF
the attempted arrest OF Lewis alias
Scales by Baldwin detectives, and that
he had eluded his pursuers. 1t now seems
that he has made good his escape and
will not be arrested in Virginia.
A letter received tonight by Mr.. c. A.
Hunt from the bondsman OF Lewis's at
Paris. Tex, says that Lewis went to
Texas a youth and worked as farm
hand, and was respected by all who
knew him. BY his over-exertions he
tice in Paris. and prospered as a lawyer
and man Of business. But he fell UNI
der the hypnotic influence of man
destitute of honor. who forged some
names, and Lewis, being In HIS confidence,
refused to betray him, and to save him
left the State. Lewis's father went TO
Texas from North Carolina with ample
money to settle the notes, and was
swindIed out of 1t by the same man who
promised to get the paper. Lewis after
ward voluntarily returned to Texas and
stood trial and was acquitted on four
indictments OF any completely in the
forgery, anu would have been acquitted
without doubt on the other, but the
night before the trial this same influence
was exerted over him, and he was In
duced to leave the State. His bondsman
is poor man. and has sold his home to
pay the forfeited bond, and Is trying to
secure the presence of Lewis only TO
save the cost TO himself and family. He
says his trial will be only formality.
as he has endeavored TO acquit him. He
speaks i'm the highest praise of Lewis,
and says he cannot understand why ne
should be fugitive from trial. This Is
gratifying to many of our citizens who
befriended him here, and they all hope
he will voluntarily return to Texas and
stand his trial. and be honorably acquit-
ted. Appearances point to quite a ro-
nance in this case.
