a Curious Hog Pen

Mill turnpike near Tilton, has in use a
very curious but convenient hog pen.
The pen is nothing more than a huge

furnishes sleeping quarters for at lea st

for over ten years, and during that time

letinS of yesterday announced that Minister Woodford was preparing to depart from Spain. The man who or iginated that and the man who let it go to the telegraph office might be useful citizens in the business of tamping ratholes with sand or in al most any avocation which does not re- quire a high degree of mentality natural or acquired. To people who know under what circumstances min isters leave countries to which they are accredited when war is imminent and inevitable, the ridiculousness of the Calls bulletin is apparent. A min ister never leaves his post at his own instance. He may be recalled by his own country, either on it's own motion or at the request of the country to which he is accredited. If the latter country assume the aggressive and make the declaration of war, it usually presents the minister his passport. If his own country take the initiative, the minister is directed to ask for his passports. At the date of the Calls bulletin the negotiation between Spain and the United States had not pro gressed to the extent of rupture, for in the same bulletin it was stated that Spain's reply was still to be consid- cred. Nations do not plunge into war and at the same time continue the consideration of ultimatums and re- plies.
 The Call bulletin service in Phoenix seems to be rlIn in connection with a bootblack stand and it is charged that when the reports from the Call begin to tone down and become uninteresting the colored proprietor of the stand supplements the tagging efforts of w. S. Leake, the Calls news editor, and fixes up bulletins which bring war within sight He may have been the author of the Woodford bulletin, for he understands the business of illumi- hating shoes, while he is, perhaps, less informed regarding the process of breaking off negotiations between na- tions. That bulletin board constantly bears one conspicuous and hair-raising bulletin, Shoes shined inside" mean ing, of course, inside the building of which the bulletin board stands in front.
 The combined bulletin and black ing business has become contagious. The colored proprietor of a stand on Washington street, between First and Second, had his stand dec orated yesterday afternoon with bull letins stating that war had not only been declared, but was actually in progress and Spaniards were putting up stiffer fight than had been ex- pected. A Republican reporter stopped to inquire about the authenticity of these reports. The proprietor said: "Nothin' in it. boss; it's only a shinin' proposition. I haint goin' to let dat colored feller down in the Flemin' block walk away wid de whole cheese. If dis bootblack war keeps up. I'll bust him if I haf to give a bullytfn away for soovenear wid every shine"

the United States under such regime. These efforts are put forth in a des- perate endeavor to show that a spark of vitality yet remains in the govern ment under Spanish sovereignty.
 Events, however are showing what Spain really understands by autonomy. The other day I saw the royal mail steamer go out with nine prisoners of state, who are destined for prison in Barcelona, which has been made in- famous in recent years by the cruelties committed within it's walls. I have seen this royal mail go out in Weyler's time bearing Cubans condemned to chains for life or to perpetual impris- onment in the penal settlements of Af- rica. They were charged with the crime of rebellion, and the cause of their deportation was given. They had even been put through the form of farcical trial. The men who are now on the sea as prisoners consigned to the fortress in Barcelona have not even had the form of trial under the regime of autonomy, though the prom ise was made that under the new reg ime the rights of all persons would be sacredly respected.
 The insurgent general, Ruiz Ri- veria, after his refusal to accept from Blanco freedom on condition of his supporting autonomy, was transported to these prisons and is there now. These deportations were made in the name of the autonomist cabinet of Cuba and and under it's authority. The real influence was the Spanish government, acting through Captain General Blanco.
 But the odium was placed on the autonomist cabinet. Its members had neither the spirit nor the power to re- sist. They merely accepted their func- tion. The case has not excited much attention among the Cubans. They knew that Spanish rule might change in name, but not in fact So the ex- ercise of arbitrary power does not sur prise them, though it justifies them in their refusal to be deceived into ac- cepting autonomy. Possibly the incl dent may aid some people in Wash ington to an understanding of the con- ditions which have made a failure of the concession of colonial self gov ernment by Spain to Cuba.
