The rioting and looting of grain
warehouses have continued in n dozen

that this would precipitatc an instant

Europe there are 300 revolutionary
clubs, with n membership of more
than 10000. These clubs were the out
come of suggestion originating with
Jose Marti. and their organization has
been accomplished by the delegation
with whom they were all In closest
touch. to whom they all account, and
through whom they all make contribu-
tions in money. clothing. provisions.
arms and munitions for those who
are enduring the hardships of the war.
Before the revolution began these
clubs had 100000 in bank as a war
fund. Thege most vital contributions
must reach the army in the field, and
It is the business OF the delegation to
see that they get there And they have
been getting there under the most ad-
verse and trying circumstances, and
amid perils OF land and sea where enc
mics are watching and where friend
ly government has had to guard
against the violation of neutrality
laws.
For accomplishing Its work the jun
ia has in no way been restricted in
authority.

THREE QUEER CITIES.

All Built ON Islands Connected by Many
Bridges.
The city OF Client. in Belgium, is
built on twenty-six islands. These
islands are connected with each other
by eighty bridges. The city has three
hundred streets and thirty public
squares. 1t is noted for being the
birthplace of Charles v and of John OF
Gaunt. whom Shakespeare called "time
honored Lancaster" and as the scene
OF the pacification OF Ghent, Nov. 8,
1876. and Of several Instructions,

many canals. which are spanned by
nearly three hundred bridges, and re-

against the German emperor, and. in
1177, gained great victory, in defense
of Alexander III. over the fleet of war
vessels headed by Otto. son OF Freder-
ic Barbarossa. In gratitude for this
victory the Pope gave the Doge Ziani
a ring, and instituted the world-famous
ceremony of Venice marrying the
Adriatic sea-" In this ceremony the
Doge, as the chief ruler of Venice used
to be termed. with appropriate cere-
monies dropped a ring into the sea
every year in recognition of the wealth

The government Is making active
preparations to fully equip the volun-

dio and soon to depart for Manila. a
contract has been let with local firm
to supply large number of uniforms
for the troops. 1t is said that the full
contract will call for 10000 complete
uniforms. the contract price to be $780,
600. The order must be completed
within ten days.
1t is expected that the Charleston
will not leave for the Philippines be-
fore next Sunday or Monday. No ren-
son is assigned by the navy people
for the delay. 1t seems certain now
that the Charleston will not escort any
