SHOOTING DONE. BY spANlARDs.
Cubans Were Not To Blame For
Rows In Havana.

Havana, December 18-(Noonl via
Miami. Fla, December 14-American
observers of the violent scenes enacted
here on Sunday night, sympathize with
the Cuban population over the killing of
three persons and the wounding of fifteen
others by the Spanish soldiers. Neyerthe-
less the American military men are un-
able to do more than they have done in
securing safe transportation for promi
nent Cubans to Marianao. and in prevents
irg all arrests excepting those of three
younsters who, however, were afterwards
released.
The shooting was nearly all done by
Spanish officers armed with pistols and
by officers off duty Some OF the shots
were fired during the conflict at aggres-
siye Cubans, but most of them we're fired
at retrsating Cubans. None of the OIL
GERS implicated have been brought TO ac-
count by their superiors 1t is asserted
chat the feeling in the Spanish army is
one of pleasure that the Cubans gave
the Spaniards the opportunity to Kill
a few of them.
The first arrivals Of American troops
and the dissolution of Spanish sovereign
ty on ali sides of Havana, increases the
Spanish bitterness here. The only safety
of the Cubans is in their remaining pa

BROOKLYN WAS OFF QUICKLY.

Washington, December a. Within four
hours from the moment the order was
received by Captain Cook. who COM
mands the Brooklyn, to proceed to Ha-
vana, the ship was speeding away on the
high seas from Tompkinsville, S. |. The
Texas was telegraphed to leave for Cuba
at four O. clock yesterday and got away
soon after midnight from Hampton
Roads On the Brooklyn as passenger
Ii Commodore Cromwell, who goes to
command the Havana naval station.
There are also some of the officers of the
Texas who happened to be in New York.
The Castiue, which is to form part OF the
Havana squadron, will make her way
alone South from Boston. The Resolute
which was also ordered to Havana, will
not be able to start from League island
for few days. All of the ship carry
marine guards and it. is believed that they
will be able to maintain the beat of order
in Havana should the local authorities
prove unable TO do so. All of the torpefioes
which obstructed the entrance to Havana
harpor have been removed and although
the batteries commanding the entrance
are still technically in Spanish control,
it is not believed that any objection viii
be offered to our forces taking possession
of them at any moment.

SILLY AND ABSURD.
So Mr.. ManIey Characterixes Story That
There VIII Be Opposition to senator
Hale


Augusta, December IA. The Journal in
the morning will say:
A represen tative of the Journal called
upon Hon. Joseph Fl. Manley, yesterday
and asked him If he had seen the state
ment in some of the Boston papers that
there was to be opposition to the re-
election of Hon. Eugene Hale to the Ssn-
ate on the ground of the Senator'S s
position on this treaty of peace with Spain
In relation to the annexation OF the
Philippine islands and that Ex-Governor
Cieaves of Portland was to be the candl-
date against Senator Hale.
Mr.. Manley said: Certainly. but it is
too silly and absurd to give it any atten-
tion.''
1.-THE Republicans of Maine.' Mr.. Man
ley went on, ''have always allowed the
largest liberty of action upon the part of
their Representatives AMI senators. They
are elected to act as they think best upon
every question upon which they are called
to act, and ars respected and honored for
always having the courage OF their con-
victions. There is undoubtedly differ
ence of opinion as to whether 1T is wisest
and best annex the Philippine islands,
but if every citizen of Maine believed
firmly in their annexation and very many
OF them do, it-would not in any way
affect the reelection of Senator Hale He
has been an able and fearless re presenta-
tive of every interest of our state. He has
few equals in that great executive body
and no superiors.
"The Republican members OF the
legislature when they convene in this city
in January next, will renominate him
for that high Office for the fourth term,
as they have done for the previous three
terms for which he has been elected by
acclamation.
Mr.. Manley said he did not believe that
Senator Hale had a stronger or more
earnest supporter than Ex-Governor
Cleeves. for whom the Republicans of
this state have very warm side. And, "
he added, s'if this story had been told on
the first day of April we should have
known how to have classed it. The season
of the year in which it was given to the
public does not change its character.

BEAUTY FROM A BACK VIEW.
Women With Coed Figures Do not
Always Have Good Looks.

1t is unwise to judge of a young
womans looks by a view Of her fgur
from behind, as a Washington youn
man found to his cost.
Two pedestrians were walking
down Pennsylvania avenue one after
noon recently. A ine-lOoking woman
was walking in front of them. She
had a good figure, was well dressed,
and from the distance of probably
fifty feet which interviewed between
the two men and the supposedly beau
tiful woman she might have been
taken for Diana.
I'll wager the mysterious female is
as beautiful as Venus and as lovely as
Aphrodite,' said one man to- the
other.
Make it a half dozen choice cigars
and I'll go you," said the other. Far
from being pretty, 1 am positive that
she is absolutely homely''
That's a CO." said the man who
had first spoken, and both increased
their speed SO as to overtake the OBJ
ject Of their wager, who had been
walking ahead Of them for probably
a block. As she was passed the plot
teTs turned and looked at her, in such
a manner, however, as not to discon-
e her, and then passed on. The
acknowledged that he had lost,
without attempting in the least to save
his bet There was no use, for the
lady was really ugly, there was no
doubt about that. She was terribly
plain, and the difference between the
of her face and what might
have been expected from her figure and
general makeup was surprising.
eff you'll give me the secret by
