The Dry Tortueas.

The selection by the North Atlantic

choragc during the present series Of ma
nruvres has revived public interest in
these little keys.
There are about ten islets In the group,
all low, with O stratum of sand everything

mangrove bushes or small trees. They are

and the still imposing, though cracked and

Fifty years have passed since this mill
tary work, a hexagonal, double-casemated
brick structure, was begun, and millions
were expended on its construction, as
everything for it, granite, bricks, timber,
had to be carried there. Even some ma
terial for piecing out the little island, it is
said, was taken thither from neighboring
keys, and drinking water, as we'll as food
for the laborers, had to be carried, nothing
edible being found on the islands save an

Colored Democrats Alert.

The AFFILIATED Colored Democrats of
New York." a new group of aspiring states
men, adopted recently a resolution declar-
ing that they are "~organized for the en-
suing fray" and accordingly have appointed
from among their number a spokesman who
is to have the awful responsibility of repre-
senting all the colored Democrats of this
great city. His name is ADAMS, an illus
trious name in American annals. and he is
said to hold forth" in what some IN
sophisticated persons suppose to be the
stronghold of the colored Democrats, in
upper Sixth avenue.
The few colored Democrats of Brooklyn
are not less enthusiastic in their desire
to serve the city in remunerative Offices
under the new administration. n to that
end have set up a tentative organiZa-
ton" The colored Democrats of Queens,
in the same spirit, organized in Flushing

ever, the colored Democrats among them are
few, their Queens organization having an
enrolled membership of only twenty-eight,
though colored Democracy is about as thick
there as In Kings and in Manhattan.
Being 30 few, however, and the reason
for their peculiar political faith being so
obvious, the colored Democrats stand out
all the more conspicuously, the great body
of colored voters in New York, amounting

Blanco's Last Defeat.

Spain has tried to stamp out the Cuban
rebellion by assassination, and she has
failed. The wal could not be stopped with
MAcEo's life, and, warned by that revolt
ing deed, MACEo's compatriots have kept
themselves safe from plots to murder them.
Unable to end the struggle through the
aid of men Of their own camp, the Spaniards
have lately entertained the hope. as the last
of all their hopes, to bride the Cuban Cap
tains to end it themselves, by DESERVING the
cause of the island in return for money.
Doubtless, though, as the news has it,
BLANco's mission to corrupt GOMEZ and his
associates has not succeeded.
1t was hopeless on the face of things.
The people who have fought for their lib.
erty with unsurpassed heroism for many
more years than were required to deliver
the American colonies from England, and
who are now on the eve of triumph, are not
to be bought. They will not sell what they
AVE won as patriots for cash and disgrace.
