SAGUA LA GRANDE.
Vice-ConsuI Jova's Views Of the
Promised AutonomisG Policy.

John F. iowa, Vice-Consul at Sagua
La Grande, under date of November
Z, 1897, gives his view of the autono-
mist policy promised by Blanco. He
takes strong grounds against 1t, say
ing that an Autonomist party in that
district could not exist. After giving
some Of his reasons, he says:
Taking all these facts into consider
alton, it is hard to see in what way
Spain is going to establish this new
system. 1t will always be without a
stable foundation, without basis, and
maintained by very infirm, insigni-
ficant auxiliary. In the meantime re-

pirations than to till their little farms.
continue perishing. 1t is impossible
to describe the extent and intensity of
such tremendous suffering of such in
iquitous, unjust and sinful inquisition
to annihilate thousands of women and
children. If this goddess combination
could be accurately represented. it
would seem an exaggeration stirred by
fellow feeling, with sensibility of heart.
Moving among the unceasing crowd of
famished beggarS, one can scarcely do
more than commiserate the undeserved
misfortunes. No history in the world,
ancient or modern, saw an instance of
this frightful, dreadful suffering. Per
haps civilization has not seen its ike.
In conclusion, I beg to state that IN
my humble judgment the efforts toward
the enforcement of the reform of au-
tonomy will prove altogether futile"

THE MAINE DISASTER.
Some Important Points Developed
in Consulate Correspondence.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE con-
sular correspondence in part was de-
voted TO the Maine disaster, and in this
part of the correspondence some i'm
portant and interesting points are de-
veloped. The correspondence consists
largely of cablegrams exchanged by
Assistant Secretary of State Day and
Consul-General Lee.
The first of the kilograms is dated in
Havana, January 18th and relates to
the riots which were then occurring in
the city. This and the subsequent tele-
grams upon the same subject have been
published either in whole or in part
On January 24th General Lee was
notified by the State Department that
the Maine would call at Havana in a
day or two, and was directed to make
arrangements for an interchange of
friendly calls between officers and au-
thorities.
Under the same date General Lee ad-
vised q postponement of the Names
visit for six or seven days so that the
excitement might abate.
Later in the same day General Lee
was advised that the Maine would ar
rive in Havana the next day, and was

SACK OF PoRT-AU-PRINCE.
How Morgan's Buccaneers Fought
Their Way Into the City.

When the fleet arrived at the near
est harbor Morgan landed his men and
marched toward the town, but he did
not succeed in making a secret attack,
as he had hoped. A Spanish prisoner
had let himself overheard, and, swim
ming ashore, had warned the Governor
of the attack. Thus prepared, this able
commander marched a body of soldiers
along the road by which the pirates
must come, and when he found suit
I able spot he built a formidable barri-
cade Behind this his soldiers were
posted with their musket and their
cannon.
But when Morgan came within sight
Of this barricade, he considered that it
would be entirely unnecessary to at
tempt to disturb this admirable de-
fense, so he marched his men into the
woods, led them entirely around the
barricade, and came out upon a wide
plain before the town.
Here he found that he would have
to fight his way into the city, and pro-
badly much to his surprise his men
were presently charged by a body Of
cavalry.
The pirates routed the horsemen and,
after a fight of about four hours, took
possession of the town Here they cap
tured many prisoners, whom they shut
up in the churches, and then sent de-
tachments out into the country to look
for those who had run away. Then
these utterly debased and cruel men
took their usual course after capturing
a town; they pillaged, feasted and riot
ed Even when the poor citizens SEEM
a1 ~;
owned, they were told that if they did
not pay two heavy ransolns they would
be carried away into slavery and that
their own town would be burned
For two weeks the pirates waited for
the unfortunate people to go out into
the country and find some of their fell
low-citizens who had escaped with a
portion of their treasure. In those
days people did not keep their wealth
in banks as they do now, but every
man was the custodian Of most of his
own possessions, and when they fled
from the visitation of an enemy they
took with them everything of value
that they could carry. Before the cit
izens returned Morgan made discov-
cry; a negro was taken who was carry
ing letters from the Governor Of Santa
so, nelghborlng city, 10 some OF tne
citizens of Port au Prince, telling them
not to be in a great hurry to pay the
ransom, because he was coming with
strong force to their assistance. When
Morgan read these letters. he changed
his mind and thought it would be
wise thing not to stay in that region
any longer than could be helped. So he
decided not to wait for the unfortunate
citizens to collect the heavy ransom
he demanded, but told them that if
they would furnish him five hundred
head of cattle, and also supply salt and
help prepare the meat for shipment,
he would make no more demands upon
them This, of course the citizens
were glad enough to do, and the buc-
cancers sailed away.-Frank r. Stock

But it should be remembered that
these results are largely speculative
and may be very much influenced by
the disposition of weights and internal
arrangements of the vessel. Thus in
some Italian experiments with model
of ship with a triple bottom, seventy
five pounds of guncotton exploded in
contact, broke through two of them
and when the space between the two
inner ones was filed with coal, only
the outer bottom was injured
Comparing dynamite with guncotton,
the two explosives with which we are
most familiar, it may be said that dy-
Mantle loses strength by the evapora-
ton of the nitro glycerine. Pure gun
cotton, whether wet or dry, is unaf-
fected by changes of temperature Gun
cotton, as well as forcite and gelatine
dynamite, are unaffected by water, but
dynamite loses per cent of it's power
when drowned in water. Nitro glycer-
inc is insoluble in water, so that most
of the compounds are uninjured by be-
ing submerged With regard to safety
in handling and transportation. dyna-
mite and nitro glycerine are the most
sensitive. They should not be exposed
liable to detonation by influences when
dry than when wet and dynamite when
compressed than when loose. Buoyant
mines when planted, if filled with 500
pounds of blasting gelatine, need to be
spaced every 456 feet; guncotton mines
require 321 feet, while gunpowder re-
quires 100 feet.
Summing up-and here we are quot
ing from Lieutenant Simpson-we find
blasting gelatine and guncotton as the
two explosives best fulfilling all the re-
quirements, and they are the ones gem
orally in use for submarine work. Blast
ing gelatine shows a superiority with
regard to strength, shattering effects,
Elasticity and specific gravity, but gum
cotton, from its stability. safety and
capability of exerting its full force even
when confined simply in a net, COM
bined with it's high standing in the
other requirements, all tend to make
it the best high explosive for naval use

ERA OF GOOD FEELING PASSING
AWAY
Mr.. Hyatt writes on the 1st of Septem-
Der last as follows: THE era of good
feeling is passing away, while bitter
words and cruel acts are again coming
to the front. These engaged in works
of mercy are denounced for keeping
alive tribe that ought to be dead, but it
cannot be said there is no excuse for
harsh judgment. The stoppage of agri-
cultural pursuits and the blowing up of
cars containing innocents cannot be jus
titled, even under the guise of war Ex-
tremists of both sides seem able to domi-
nate the sentiments of their respective
parties, while deep feeling of personal
hatred pervades their breasts.
General Blanco's mild and humane
policy meets with feeble response from
his own followers, While the insurgents
laugh at the old man who throws seeds
and grass, instead of stones. Autonomy
is already dead issue, while buying
insurgent leaders thus far is not a
marked success, the insurgent Generals
having already imprisoned several Off
GERS suspected of this penalty
My Hyatt, ending this letter, quotes
Colonel Marsh, attributing to him the
following sentiment: Spain fails to
comprehend that Cuba has, as it were,
two mothers, a political one. which is
Spain, and a commercial one, which is
the United States, and the political
mother fails to see that the commercial
