periences Aboard Her.

DIR. VIII Reig. surgeon in charge of the
Ohvette In its last trip, said at Toledo,
Ohio. last night:
The olivette was certainly in terrible
condition 1t had more patients than it
should have had. 1 was the only surgeon
working and had no medicines for half the
patients. All | could do was to let them
die. As. far provisions were concerned,
they were plentiful. but not of the proper
kind When we reached Boston many had
died of exhaustion. 1 do not know who
was to blame for loading the transport in
such manner"

Men, women and children were hurled
to the floor and trampled upon in the
mad rush for the door. In this confu-

building caught fire. In the confusion
the fire had made such Roadway that
all attempts to save the church werein
vain.
This morning George Aiken, son of
the pastor, confessed that he, with the

THE IN CUBA.

We have it on excellent authority,
and from the insurgent side, that the
Spaniards arenow carrying on civilized
warfare in Cuba. Nevertheless, au-
tonomy has not been accepted, and the
armies OF Gomez and Garcia are still
urconquered, and there is no sign what
ever that Captain General BIanco will
meet with any more success in the field
than did his two predecessors. On the
other hand, there is no reason to be-
lieve that the insurgents a possibly
drive the Spaniards off the island. They
can hold on, and they can prevent Cuba
from again becoming a producer of
Spanish revenue, while Spain is evi-
IDENTIFY becoming tired. The Spanish
friends Of Weyler have broken out in
riots in Havana, which have made war
seem very lear to this country. Under
the circumstances, it is not strange
that Americans engaged in the Cuban
insurrection should believe that Spain
will quietly drop the island in a few
months. But a good deal still depends
on us.-Harper's Weekly.
