REIGN OF TERROR IN CHINA.
All FAvoria9 form Puniahsd by ths
DowARsr Empress.

London. Oct. 1.-the Shanghai cor
respondent Of the Times says:
Hunng, former consul ut Singapore.
and lately minister designate of China
to Japan, was arrested here yesterday
by order OF the Empress dowagcr in
connection with the reform movement.
Her general prescription of TIE pro-
gresslves constitutes n reign of terror.
The Pekin correspondent Of the
Times says:
The retrogrndc movement has
spread. An imperial edIct orders the
suppression OF the native press aud
the punishment OF the editors. 1t also
cancels all the new methods OF exam
ination promulgated during the last
two months. The latter step must
give general satisfaction. since the
proposed changes were too radical for
the people. All officials who have
signed memorials In favor OF reform
have been dismissed from office.

The Chinese are a nation of cooks.
There Is scarcely an individual In their
vast community who is not more or less
dinner. The peasant sits down to meals
cooked by the hand of his wife or daugh-
ter.in-law. In large establishments the
cooks are Invariably men. Half a dozen
coolies will squat round n bucket of
steaming rice and from four to six small
savory dishes of stewcd cabbage onions
scraps OF fat pork. cheap fish, etc. They
till their bowls "a discretion from the
bucket They help themselves discreetly
with their chopsticks from the various
relishes provided. On ordinary occasions
even a wealthy Chinaman will sit down
to some such simple fare served indeed.
on n table instead of on the ground. but
in almost equally simple style. 1t is only
when n banquet is substituted for the
usual meal that eating is treated serious
~ as fine art, In manner worthy its
Importance to the human race. Then the
guests will assemble between 2 and 4 p.
m, and will remain steadily at the table
until any hour from 10 p. IN. to midnight;
Pipes are lighted between the courses, and
u whif or two OF light tobacco smoke Is
Inhaled into the lungs. while within easy
reach OF the table. II the festivity is at all

theatrical performance continues almost
without intcrmission.-New York Ledger.

The Havana correspondent of the
Chicago Record writes: Independence
10 the new Fetch of the Spaniards Of
Havana and Of annexationists, who, a
month ago, hated the idea of free Cuba
and were suspicious Of all Cuban
promises. A mighty change has come
over the peninsulars, who have elected
to cast In their lot with the island.
and to day they are ready to join hands
with their late enemies, the insurgents.
to defeat any project to make Cuba
state Of the American union.
Political clubs are forming all over
the city to oppose the annexation SEN
timent In an effort to effect an organ
ixatton strong enough to wiring from
the Cuban leaders recognition as po-
litical force and concession of equal
political rights under the prospective
republic. The first fever Of apprehen-
sion ID over and the fear that an era of
prescription and confiscation would
mark the establishment of Cuban re-
public is wholly dead.
The Cubans Of the city themselves
were not sure that men from the woods
could be trusted with the supreme
power. Now that Is NIL changed. The
American promise of Il stable and suf-
ncient government, backed by Ameri-
can rifles and the memory of Santiago
and Manila, has reassured the Span
iards Of the city, and behind the guar
anty of the Krag-Jorgensen they are
planning to retain the commercial con-
troll Of the island. They have held 1t

The uncertainty of the moment when
the United States will take over the
custom house and proclaim the San.

ket, and the Wholesale grocers are buy

times.
Thousands Of tons Of potatoes, onions
and other foodstuffs have rotted on the
custom house whnrves because their
owners feared to pay tho duties, lest
the morrow might bring American OH
cials and a tariff less than half M

and freight than risk the loss of the
customs charges. And all the while

Lexington, Ky.. Oct. 1O.-As result
Of the killing Of private Ia the
Twelfth New York regiment by Pro-
voSt Guard Kitchen last night. three of
four hundred members OF that regi-
ment formed mob tonight and seized
train at Camp Hamilton with the in
tention of coming to town on 1t and
rlidlng the county jnil for the purpose
Of taking out Kitchen and lynching
him.
General Wiley and Colonel Wood
were quickly notified Of the uprising
and they suppressed the mob by radi-
cal and prompt action. The outbreak
was not unexpected and the Jail was
heavily guarded. The provost guard
In the city was also doubled and
things were quiet ut midnight. 1t is
believed that the prompt measures
thnt were taken have prevented SER
ious affair.
The riotir.; tonight was the sequel
not only of the fatal fights last night.
but also OF the drunken carousals that
have been going on since pay day.
Last night there two killed and two
wounded, and tonight lynching was
narrowly prevented. The drinking and
dlsorderly conduct is not in Camp

Private Hefrerman Of the Twelfth

Provost Guard Alvin Kitchen of the
Third Kentucky, while the former was
running away from II fight Heffer-
man refused to halt when Kitchen
called to him to do so. Kitchen fired
twice at Hefferman, the second shot
being fatal.
The soldiers are still desperately en-
ragged Mt the provost guard for chas-
Ing them with weapons when they are
In the city, and threaten others as well
as Kitchen.
Private Bailey. who was also shot
while In the city last night by the pro-
vost guard. Is suffering terribly from
the effects OF the wound in his thigh
and is In a serious condition. The two
colorcd immunes who We're shot In

resting easier tonight.
Officers say Kitchen will unQucstion-
ably get the death sentence. When he
shot Henerman he was under orders
not to have his gun loaded. 1t Is said

: "Early In November, 1884," says Frank
Long, who lives near Lennon, Mich, con
starting to get up from the dinner table, I
was taken with . pain In my back. The
pain increased and was obliged to take to
my bed. The physician who was summoned
pronounced my case muscular rheuma tism
accompanied by lumbago. He gave me
remedies and injected morphine into my
arm to ease the pain.
MY disease gradually became worse un-
til thought that death would be welcome
release from my suferings. Besides NV
regular physician also consulted another.

have destroyed them faster than
he could erect them. 1t has per-
mitted him to introduce ammunition
cific blockade 1t has pounded the for
tifications of a few minor places with
out tangible result, and. for anything
we known TO the contrary, il has let
Cervera safely land his supplies for the
Captain General of Cuba and get
away again, to lead our ships foolish
chase all over the ocean.
Probably Mr.. Long. who is as eminent
a sailor as he used to be friend of
Atkins, Olney, McCook and the other
gentlemen identified with the Spanish
bond and sugar deal. does not see "a
single mistake" in these things. 1t is
possible, however, that the country is
not in entire agreement with him. For
instance, it would take some strong evil
dence to satisfy the American people
that Sampson should have turned up
at Key West, when the understanding
was that he was strictly watching the
Mona and Windward passages for his
enemy. especially when the latter had
been reported as heading for the south
coast of Cuba.
Much as we admire the energy and
courage of Mr. Roosevelt in becoming
a lieutenant colonel of rough riders, it
is open to question if he did not do
his country an injury by taking him
self out of the Navy Department. AS
Assistant Secretary he at least did not
represent inefficient bureaucracy and
gold laced paresis.
