But these two efforts to relieve the hun

hopeless wretchedness that has long set

General Betancourt Defiant.
About four miles from the city is the
camp of Gen. Betancourt, insurgent
commander of MatanZas province. There
are about seven hundred men, all well
clothed and well fed. Gen. Betancourt
led your correspondent himself into the
hut used for commiSSary stores. IL was
piled high with barrels OF beans, corn
meal and jerked beef. Gen. Betancourt
told me his men were regularly supphea
with all the food they wanted by system

Matanzas thus has plenty of food for
bread for women and children dying like
dogs in the streets only four miles away.

Spain for our NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. else
The thought Of annexation never entered
our minds. We will never lay down our
arms until Cuba is absolutely independ-

In driving back to town from Betan-

Niles come ashore, and followed them to
the residence of Gen. Molina, where they

| Gen. Molina is quite Ill with fever, but

notified from Havana to admit the CO.

| He detailed two Spanish officers to ac-

possible assistance in tLeir power, and
! give all the police protection necessary

Major Niskern and Capt. Niles spent

discussing ways and means of distribu-

who might monopolize for themselves and

The young iadies o the normal
school in Winona were lately thrown
into a furry of'excitement, says the st.
Paul CMinn.) Dispatch. They were
called into n OF the neutrality-suspicious.
and put through a rigid examination
about the number of callers each had
and a description Of each caller. They
were told that It was highly improper
to receive arcaller from out of.the city,
and that many of the young men of the
city were not proper persons with
whom to associate. ''-- --1-'.
1t was also considered highly i'm
proper to receive a call which was Of
than 90 minutes duration. In all
over a dozen questions were required to
be answered. all of which were in regard
to the subject of gentlemen callers.
A number Of rules were given to the
young ladies, which they were told they
must obey. Among them was one for
bidding the same young men to call
upon them more than three times a
year., and then the call must be purely
formal and not exceed Is or 20 minutes.
The young ladies were also requested
to furnish a list of their callers and
their characters. and as to the general
subjects of conversation when calling
or riding. and if the landlady. where
they boarded approved of the young
men. -
Some Of the young ladies are indig-
nant, and say they will not submit to
such rules, while others believe they are
all right. and propose to follow them. =.

Eye and Ear Infirmary, where they were
received by DR.. Marshall and the surgeons
of that institution and visited the wards
in which the sick soldiers were lying. He
told them not to be disturbed in mind /;
that everything would be done for them
if they desired anything to make their
" isnes known and it would be supplied; !;
and that be should try to get an extension
of their furloughs to sixty days.. The
Mayor also expressed his deep interest in
their cases and Surgeon General Maybery
was much interested.
After visiting the Infirmary the party
proceeded to the Maine General Here
Superintendent Hunt and ssaff welcomed
them, and the Governor repeated to the
sick boys what he had already said to
their comrades at the Eye and Ear In
Urinary.
The men all bright ened up at the
presence of the governor and seemed
much pleased at the visit of the officials.
After the visit the Governor took the 6 p.

similar work in Boston and vicinity.
The chool session is from to IL. In

The many items Of interest pertaining
to the work, its inception, the results
hoped for, the assistance given and much
else we must omit now to say that only
thres days remain in which our citizens
may see for themselves the workings OF
this beautiful philanthropy. We are sure
there are many who would find visit
full of interest and overfowing with val.

suitable place for a Clergyman to spend
an hour.

will be established in that locality. The
