The Navy and the Filibusters.

manner in which this country has per-
formed its duty toward Spain In the
matter of preventing fi1ibustering. we
have made inquiry for the exact details
from the Navy Department The Gov

years, consisting of the following ves-
sells; Raleigh. Cincinnati, Amphitrite,
Maine, Montgomery, Newark. Dolphin.
Marblehead, Vesuvius, Wilmington,
Helena, Nashville, Annapolis and De-
troit. Most OF the time three vessels
have been on duty, and the cost of the
service has ranged from $4,000 to

and war ships had been as efficient

been against filibusters, the insurrec-

bed leave only a mass of crumbling
shells in their wake. They pick up a
mouthful, grind the shells. eat the
oysters, spit out the shells, and go on.
Their presence is made known to the
oystermen by the color Of the water,
which assumes a reddish hue as they
pass through It, There is no way Of
anticipating or frustrating their at
tacks. Once they strike an oyster bed
they eat a path through it. AS to the
amount of damage they do depends en-
tirely on how they come upon the
bed. Sometimes their course leads
them straight over it. II so there is
nothing left but crumbling shells.
Sometimes, they only touch the cor
ner, and at other times a small school
will go through the center. They never
vary from a straight course, and
school covering hundreds of square feet
have been known to take but few
bushels off the corner of a bed of thou
sands OF bushels. Oysternen offer no
explanation for this peculiar stupidity.
but are glad that they do not get into
the habit of looking about them when
they strike the corner.-Cleveland

NEW YoRK's LEGISLATURE.
Republicans Can Pass No Appro-
rriation Bills without Helm.

ALBANY, IAN. 2.-The Legislature of
1898 will meet at the Capitol on We'd
nesday, January 9th, at noon. The
Senate. by virtue of the new constitu-
ton, remains for a third year the same
as the two previous sessions.
In the Assembly the Republicans, in
contrast to the enormous majority OF
last year, have but q bare working ma
jority Of four votes, including two Citi-
gems Union members from New York
City. This small majority means that
no appropriation bills can be passed
without the aid of the Democrats TO
make up the two-thirds and ree-fifths
votes demanded by the Constitution up
on all bills appropriating State money.
The Senate has very large Republican
majority, there being SO Republicans
and only II Democrats.

be answered that by recent provisions

HAVANA, Jan. 2.-The insurgent
General Francisco Garlic, with l,UUU
men from Santa Clara Province, has
entered Matanzas Province near Ffa-
bana, and is supposed to be on the way
to reunite with the concentrated insur-
gent forces under Brigadier-General
Suarez and Cepero in Havana Province.
Before the disarning of the laborers
on the tobacco plantation of Book
& Co. in Pinar del Rio, recently re-
ported, fifty armed laborers are said to
have Joined the insurgents at Ceiba del
Aqua, Havana.
Three thousand concentrates have
been returned to their homes in Ma
tanzas Province, railroad transporta-
ton being provided by the Government.
The "Diario de la Marina" calls the
attention of the authorities to the pit
liable condition Of the town of Alonza
Rogas in Pinar del Rio Province. Dur
ing the first ten days Of December lO0
person died Whole families of eight
and ten persons have perished. OF
ninety-two volunteers only nineteen are
fit for duty, the remainder being sick
with smallpox. At Santo Domingo,
Santa Clara Province, the smallpox ep-
idemic has increased terribly, in spite
of the splendid weather, but the fevers
have slowly decreased. In the districts
of Jicotea, Menacas and the central
plantation Esperanza, smallpox is rag
ing among the concentrates, many of
whom have died. Many of the concen-
trados are without medicine, food, or
other necessaries of life. Families resi-
dent in the stricken districts are unable
to emigrate thence because they have
no resources. The Government has
for a second time sent $4,000 for the
relief of the concentrates in MatanZas
Province.
It is reported from Santiago de Cuba
that General Pando is greatly disheart-
ened on account of the obstacles which
prevented a successful campaign
against the insurgents in that prov
ince. He declares that he has no base
corporations the insurgents control be-
ing so complete that it is impossible to
convey supplies to Spanish columns
operating III the interior of the province.
General Pando is said to be convinced
that the insurgents of Santiago de Cuba
Province viii not accept autonomy.
When he was in Spain he did not real
ize that the insurgents in the province
had such strength.
It is said that General Sagua, operat-
ing in Santiago de Cuba, has been un-
able to agree with his superior officers,
and on the pretext that he was sick,
he has arrived in Havana and will re-
turn to Spain by the first steamer.
minister Canelejas, the Madrid
editor, who has been investigating the
situation in Cuba, is said to be thor
oughly discouraged with the outlook.
He VIII return to Spain shortly, the
sudden death of his sister being given
as the cause for Fastening his depart
ure.
Senor Ambiard, who has just return
ed from the United States, is said 10
take the same hopeless view Of the Sit
uation as Senior Canelejas, and it is
stated that he will decline the proffer-
ed appointment of Secretary Of the
Cuban autonomist Cabinet.
Senor Capules, Governor of Santiago
de Cuba, has resigned being unwilling

by the Government through General

the party. AS the Indians, bucks and
squaws, descended from the train, they
formed picturesque group on the

gaudy bfahketS and brightly decorat-
ed legg1ngs, and two members Of the
crowd, judges, wore halos Of elk hair
around their heads.
The names Of the Indians were An

They carried quantity of baggage,
which consisted of Spears, feathers,
shields, tomahawks, pipes and blan-
kets. The squaws sat around on pack
ages, while the bucks stood with fold
ed arms and looked dignifled. The judg-
es seemed extremely proud of their hir-
suite halos. Judge Moiese, particularly,
was conspicuous, and struck an Edwin
Booth-as-Hamlet attitude as soon as
he could arrange his wig.
The papoose was the center Of at
traction for a number of ladies who
were at the depot. and his father dan
