STREET RIOTS IN MONTSERRAT
Cubans Heap IndiRnitics on the Van

the Brave Americauos."

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-A censored spe-
cial cable to the Tribune from Havana
says:
Rioting began at Montserrat tonight
a battalion OF Spanish troops hurried
from the barracks on the Prado to
Galiano street. the dividing line be-
tween Cuban and Spanish territory.
Order was restored, but in the firing
which occurred before the troops ar
rived, an 8.year-old Cuban child was
killed. by a stray bullet.
Spanish territory in the New World
is now limited to a narrow strip of
land between Havana harbor and Cali

and the United Sites are waving with

boulevard which runs through the CEN
ter of Havana.
MontserIat having been evacuated,
the place was alive today with Cubans
and people from the United States.
The scene enacted at Cerro and Vedado
last week and Jesus del Monte yester-
day, was repeated at Montserrat. There
was even greater demonstration, for
Montserrat comes almost to the city.
Some OF the flags leaped across the
dividing line and waved on the Span
ish side.
The celebration which was begun on
Christmas night today reached its
height. Crowds of men and women
waving Cuban and American flags and
carrying branches OF trees, paraded the
streets shouting and singing. Many
Americans went over to see the demon
stration. They did not remain long.
Owing to the intense enthusiasm, the
populace insisted on kissing the brave
AmercanOs." whether they wanted to
be kissed or not.
Several atfrays took place between
the Spanish residents and the Cubans.

fused to put out the Cuban colors, and
was almost beaten to death with sticks.
AS evening came on. the Gemonstra-
ton became noisier than ever, as many
Of the negroes parading were drunk and
greatly excited. The Americans be-
came fearful OF another clash with the
Spanish troops like that which ushered
in Christmas day. Francisco Luinteso
a Spanish volunteer patrolling the
street near the Prado, was fired at from
a housetop and killed. \ Cuban was
killed in another part of the city.
Half a dozen Cuhans and Spanards
were shot or stabbed in affrays about
tAe city.
Tharo was fight between Cubans
and Spanards in front of the United
States Club at midnight. Several of the
participants were badly cut with ma
chetes. Many American soldiers who
were in town behaved so boisterously
that General Ludlow says he is sorry
that they were permitted to come into
Havana, and in future none will he
permitted except on strictly military
buainoss.

Boy Kills Two Rrothers.

Scooba. Miss, Dec. 27.-Thomas
and William Brantley, brothers, were
shot and instantly killed last night, at
Enondale. by Eugene Dennis. an 49,
year-old boy. The brothers, accom-

enter the store of Dennis, it is said, in
tending violence, whereupon young
Dennis opened fire on the Brantleys

is YEARS
Imprisonment, and was Innocent.

There is colored man named
Ed Williams living near Hallets-
vile who has had more than his
share of trouble. Twenty-one or
two years ago an old man named
Haranek was robbed and murdered
one night at his home over on
Smothers creek. The crime was
brutal one and two Negroes were
arrested, tried and sent to the pen
for life. One of them was named
Ed Williams. III the neighbor-
hood where he lived there was
another Negro who was his double
and who, we believe, was named
Turner When the two men we're
placed side by side it was noticed
that they looked precisely alike
and could hardly be told one from
another. However, these facts did
moi come ont at the trial, and Will
liams was sent up for a crime that
Turner had committed.
Many years afterwards Turner
robbed a house one night and was
shot down. Finding that he could
not recover he sent for justice OF
the peace and confessed that it was
he and not Williams who had
helped to murder Haranek. The
facts were laid before the governor
and he pardoned Williams at once.
He had served Is long years. He
came back to Halletsville and par
ties interested themselves in his
behalf and three different efforts
were made to get the legislature to
make Williams some recompense
for the States terrible mistake.
All efforts fililed, however, and he
is farming near Halletsville. The
other Negro, and who was guilty.
is still at Huntsville, unless lie has
died Of late years.

Public opinion seems pretty well
divided as to the probable result Of
the trouble with Spain. Some
think there will be war at once,
while Others believe there will be
none at all. The GAZETTE is in
clined to the latter opinion. We
believe the matter will be left to
arbitration, and will be settled
without the firing Of single gun,
whatever the report of the board OF
inquiry may be There are many
reasons for thinking this, the fore
most of which il that the men VINO
ARE backing Mckinley do not want
war, and will not have it if it can
possibly be avoided. Whether
they are right or not is left for the
people to judge. Tom Reed, speak
er of the House, does not want wa
and will hold the republican mem
bers in check if it can possibly b
done. Spain may be called on t
pay an indemnity, but mark on
words--there will beno war.

The perils of the United States
will come with the close Of the war
from within as well as without, but
chiefly through the mania for col
onial expansion. The nations which
deprived Japan Of the fruits of hel
victory, and appropriated Chinese
territory and seaports at discretion,
may invite themselves to the feas!
Of the Philippines. People whe
cannot govern themselves should
not try to govern others. With
state legislatures and city councils
centers of corruption, with q
scheme Of taxation which exempts
the rich and crushes the poor, with
a system of robbery entrenched in
Washington which transfers earn
ings of the many to the pockets ol
the few there is present opportunity
within our own borders for the
utilization Of all the reformatory
capacity Of our citizens. The exact
conditions which prevail in the
United States to-day, in reference
to the distribution of wealth and the
administration of justice, have pre-
ceded the downfall Of the great
nations Of antiquity, If we cannot
turn back the shadow upon the dial
we may conclude that the sun OF
our history has passed its meridian

Of the Americans. But his real
trouble disclosed itself when he
waved his hands toward Santiago
and cried bitterly:
And, besides, have secret trou-
bles there"
That meant conspiracy and treach-

rection.

what could be learned yesterday,
no change will be brought about
because Of the sale. Mr.. Letter

July 4th, 1868, marked the turn

July 4th, 1868, marked the turn
ing Of the tide Of the great rebel
lion, with the battle Of Gettysburg,
and the fall of Vicksburg. Thirty
five years later, to day, we cele-
brated the complete collapse Of the
naval power of Spain. The magni-
ficent mechanism of q modern
battleship is wasted upon nation
which has neither mechanicians nor
marksmen. The spectacular dash
of Cervera's fleet from the harbor
of Santiago, just before it laid its
suicidal bones upon Cuban rocks,
was as hopeless as the charge Of
Balaklavs, which the French Gen
eral Bosquet characterized thus,
.'C'est magnifique, mais ce nest
pas la guerre." If to the desperate
courage which drove Cervera to
lead a forlorn hope, had been unit
ed the cool calculation of a Hobson,
that dying charge of the Spanish
squadron would have been delivered
straight at the American feet. His
ships would have found the same
cemetery, but they would possibly
have had company, and Cervera's
statue would have ranked high in
that special Pantheon which must
be founded to commemorate the
deeds Of devotion which the naval
requirements of great sea powers
call forth.-National Single Tarer.

SHALL MARRIAGE BE FOR THE RICH
ONLY?

The name Of Professor Byron c.
Matthews, of Newark, ought to &C
laundering down the ages in com.
pany with that of the English par.
son Nautilus. Nowadays the name
of Nautilus doesn't thunder very
much. Even political economists
have abandoned his doctrine that
men are poor because too many
babies are born. So it is perhaps
fortunate for Malthus that there
comes along now, to call attention
to him anew, disciple who modi-
tes his doctrine only slightly by
asserting that men are poor because
the wrong kind of people get mar
ried.
Professor Matthews would have
laws enacted making the clergyman
who performs marriage response
bic for the support of the progeny
resulting. This heroic measure, he
thinks, would in time result in the
extinction Of the unfit by denying
them opportunity to reproduce
their kind. 1t certainly would
make marriage solemn function
for the clergyman-to whom a vista
of large and unsupportable families
would doubtless open with every
marriage fee.
The Professors suggestion is
doubtless we'll meant, but it is
ridiculous. AS a contribution to
science, it ranks with proposition
to protect the banks of river by
up its mouth, If abject
poverty can be checked only by
checking the multiplication Of
mouths to be fed, then indeed will
we have the poor ever with us. God,
or Nature, or the Great First Cause
or whatever you like to call it, i'm
planted in mankind, as in all ami
mails, desire to reproduce their
kind. This instinct cannot be con-
trolled by laws or by ministers.
Besides, it is yet to be proved
that restriction of parentage would
the conditions of the
poor. In no country are the depths
of poverty more miserable than in
France, yet the French population
S actually decreasing. Nor, unless
he minister be endowed with proph-
icy, can he tell what is to be the
,nture of any welded pair. Mar
'iages in Fifth avenue have pro-
luced paupers; weddings in the
Ghetto have added to the ranks of
he milliOnaires.
And what of the stimulus to
'obriety, ambition and industry /
hat marriage brings to many
rifling man! But, enough. This
'edagogue's mild insanity is not to
,e discussed seriously.--N. Y. Jour

At Miami, Fla, where there are
5000 troops camped, including the

the sanitary conditions ere wretch
ed and the hospital is being rapidly
filed with soldiers who have been
stricken with malarial fever. The
latest reports estimate that there
are six hundred men on the sick
list, and the percentage of sickness
is steadily increasing. The camp
has been condemned by the medi-
cal inspector, but in spite of this
fact, the soldiers are kept there,
and it has been charged that Mr..
Flagler, the millionaire who estab-
lished the town, has very large
axe to grind and the administration
at Washington is helping him to do
it. Since the 5000 men were put
in camp at Miami, they have been
engaged in clearing land by chop
ping down trees and underbrush,
therefore Mr.. Flagler will be able
to stake off new streets and lots
without any expense to himself.

If the trade of the United States
is not as great as it ought to be, it
is because our protective and bonn
ty Legislation has kept down our
industries for the enrichment of q
few, and driven our commercial
marine off the ocean. If thirty
years ago we had adopted the poll
cy recommended by Mr.. Jefferson
of free commerce, our trade to-day
would be, as England's was thirty
years after Golden and Peel, ten
times greater than it is, and the
United States, Instead of having
the second largest international
trade, our commerce would be not
second to that Of England, but i'm
measurably greater than that Of
England.
1t is not the possession and an.

Fighting BOB" EVANS, HOW liz
WON HIS TITLE.

In 1860 Fighting Bob Evans en-
tered the naval academy at Anna
polls. 1t was here that he origi
nally earned his nickname OF
lighting Bob,' and he won it in
a war of sentiment. With tender
solicitude for her absent son, his
dear old mother in Dixie had sent
him small decoration for his
room-a motto which she had en-
broidered with her own hands, and
which the son appreciated with
characteristic devotion. There was
a rule at the academy that no dec
Orations would be permitted in the
quarters Of the cadets. His COM
rades ridiculed the gift. One Of
them tore it down with sneer,
and this indlscretion resulted in
prompt resentment from Evans.
Others sided against Evans and
tried to overpOwer him, but the
memory of his mother gave him
marvellous strength, and with his
southern blood fairly boiling with
the fury of a righteous cause, he
proceeded to fight. He used his
fists with an energy that amazed
the combined opposition. He soon
knocked out all three Of his antag-
Onists, including the bully Of the
school, who had never been con-
quered before. Replacing the mot
to on the wall, Evans defed stu
dents and faculty to remove it.
With blackened eyes and blood
stained faces his tormenters beat
hasty retreat, and it was upon this
occasion that he was first named
Fighting Bob" When the fac
ulty ordered the motto removed
from the wall Evans quietly wrote
to his old friend Hooper at Wash
ington, and the Utah congressman's
personal sympathies were swayed
to such an extent that he secured a
special permit from the President
to allow Evans to replace the treas
ured token on the wall.

The naval engagement, which re-
suited in the complete destruction
Of Admiral Cervera's squadron,
again demonstrated the fact that
torpedo boat destroyers are terrors
in the imagination only. The little
Gloucester, yacht converted into
d small gunboat, engaged the des-
troyers Furor and Pluton, and with
her rapid fire guns battered them
to pieces in few moments. The
Gloucester was commanded by Lieu
tenant Commander wainwright, for
merly the executive officer Of the
battleship Maine, and the fierce
manner in which he fought his
ship showed quite clearly that he
remembered the brave sailors who
were hurled to death in the harbor
of Havana.

The PHILADELPHIA Record saws

The Philadelphia Record says !:
"There is not bit of danger that
Commodore Schley will not have
the fullest justice done him. Any
attempt to belittle the part he played
in the fight with the Spanish ships
would give him double regard and
recognition at the hands Of his
countrymen, who love fair play as
they love the flag"

We are kindly and humane
nation and will take no cruel advan-
tage Of Spain in the hour of her
downfall. Our course when that
nation shall sue for peace may fairly
be modelled after this method,
prescribed by that shrewd philoso-
pher Izaak Walton in the case of u
frog:
"Then use your frog: put you hook
i mean the arming wire-through
his mouth and out mt his gills, and
then with a fine needle and silk sew
the upper part Of his leg with only
one stitch to the arming wire OF
your hook, and in so
doing use him as though you loved
him."
We will use Spain as though we
loved her--in honest Walton IS style.
