WOOD NEEDED At SANTIAGO.
Cuban Extremists Uphold Castillo
Proceedfng-The Negro RiOting.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, December g.
The extremists OF tho Cuban party seem
anxious to assume the responsibility for
the outrage at the Spanish Club Wednes-
day evening, when Juan Castillo, former
Cuban officer, and two negro subordi-
mates, rode into the club-rooms, and with
their machetes smashed several lamps
and did other damage. FL Porvenir, the
organ Of this faction, claims that the
act Of Castillo's represents the feeling
Of a long-outraged but now sovereign peo-
Die. Vice-President Barbarcssa, Of the
San Carlos Club, has asserted that II Cas-
tilo had not been promptly released from
custody 1900 Cubans would have known
the reason why. But such expressions
must not be taken as representing the
views of the best Cuban element, which
is really very strongly In favor OF annexa-
ton.

THE NEGRO DIFFICULTY.
To-day Colonel Beacon had before him
Lieutenant Crenshaw, of the Third I'M
mune Regiment who repeated a CONVEX
sation he had had with Captain Dickham'
Of the Ninth Immunes, which throws con-
siderable light upon the recent drunken
ARRAY of negro soldiers at San Luis and
goes to show that the affair was premedi-
tated and that the officers were more
guilty than the men.
Chief-of- Gendarmerie Vallente has now
readv l 300 men from whom General Wood
will choose a sufficient number to con-
stitute the force OF gendarmerie which
he purposes establishing. Most Of them,
Chief Valiente says, were good soldiers
during the war, but many have since
been virtually bandits out of sheer hun
ger. as they could not get rations be-
cause they were armed and refused 10
dlsband. He believes that they would
make sufficient gendarmerie.

kitchen sink shall not become source of malaria or typhoid poisoning. out side of the city the residents nave pe- come so accustomed to hearing that the country is healthy" and of belieV- ing it as a matter of course, that they are in danger of growing careless, or they do not give special heed to sani- tary matters, thinking that it is only in the city where these need attention But carelessness grown of such as- surance usually meets It's punishment
 For the dweller in the country house, away from any system of sewerage IL is better to have the kitchen water pipe run into an open drain, lroni which the water can be dipped or pumped daily, and used as fertilizer on the land. Washing water should not be turned down the sink, but saved to put on the garden or lawn, where IL does good, instead of being added to the accumulation of water in the dralh' where it may prove equally productive of evil At least once a week a Solu- tion of copperas in hot water should pc poured down the pipes to cleanse ana purify them, and it is we'll occasionally to put chloride of lime through in the interval, especially in hot weather: both the copperas and the lime will dissolve the lining of grease which ev- cry pipe will accumulate through which dish water is poured.
 Has any one an idea how much thick hedge will counteract a miasma- tic influence? The hedge should be placed between the malarious locality and house, and the thicker, higher and broader the hedge, the better fer the purpose; for malaria does it's greatest injury as it falls to the ground and rises from it. It is said that It IS seldom concentrated enough at the 1 height of ten feet to cause disease. Shade trees are desirable also as an ln- fuence against malarious influences, as well as for the purpose of beautlty- ing the home, but they should be so placed as not to prevent the suns rays from entering every window. There Is one old Italian adage which has proven it's own truth in human experience: Where the sun does not enter the doc l tor does" It is well to remember this when choosing your abiding place.

TESTIMONY TO THE POINT.

That was testimony to the point and worthy of careful consideration which was given by Evangelist Dwight L. Moody with the reference to Yale col lege on Sunday last in New Haven. His remark were considerate, earnest, devoid of sensational effect but full of good counsel and encouragement. He said
 T have been pretty well acquainted with Yale for twenty years, and have never seen the university in as good condition religiously as now. My old est son graduated here, and if my other son, who is now In the freshman class, gets as much good out of Yale as his brother did, I shall have reason to thank God through time and etern- ity I can honestly say that I have never spent so good day at Yale as to-day has been. and I never saw so earnest and inquiring 8 crowd of young men as that which attend the optional service this evening" As to the liquor question, l believe in local option. If satisfactory strong moral continent can be secured to keep it from be- coming dead letter I am in favor of prohibition. But in states where there is a large city you. can't enforce statutory prohibition because of the lack of moral sentiment. It it could be enforced, I wish New Haven would vote so.'
 No one supposes that Yale college is a place where young men are free from temptations any more than they are in other universities, but it is not a sink-hole of iniquity and it is unjust and dishonest to so represent it, Bridgeport Standard.

FATHER cLARK's BIG CATCH.


 The Waterbury American says: Probably the largest fish captured in neighboring ponds this year or for many years, found it's way to Wash ington hill Monday evening. The Rev. J. J. Clark was the lucky angler. With Thomas Kelly, the baker, he vis- ited Quassapaug in the morning and both gentlemen had their sharpest and most seductive hooks. They were re- warded with large catch, but the number of small fry seemed insit;nitt- cant in the company of the six-pourd pickerel that Father Clark captured. In size he may be compared with a bluefish. The actual weight is two ounces short of the six pounds, accord ing to Matthew Cassin's most sensi- tive scales. The trophy is now in the hands of a taxidermist, and will serve as a model for ambitious anglers in the future. The contest between Wash ington hill and Brooklyn has begun to grow warmer. The latter must now either sharpen their hooks or find new bait.

Big Cedar Swamp Where Robins and
 Bluebirds Tarry During the Win
 ter.
 The Norwich Bulletins JeWett City correspondent writes:
 The article in Mondays Bulletin about Early Birds" spoke, among other interesting facts, of robins and blueblrds staying here through the winter. About a mile north of Jewett City is situated the big Johnson cedar swamp. Nearly every resident knows of it. but not many know much about it, for few there are who have entered it's fastness.
 In summer it is absolutely impen- etrable. It Is more than a mile square and is composed of an exceedingly heavy growth of red cedars set in as thick as they can stand, intersperSed with a swamp maple, or fin driar parts with a stunted oak or two. Here the water may be ten inches deep, and in step there may be a muck hoie, filled with water as black as ink, as many feet in depth. On the brightest day it is but twilight in the swamp and all the trees are covered with long wavy green moss. In winter after few days of extra cold, by using great care one can get in. On several occasions, in past years the writer, with others, while hunting has seen in December and January in this comparatively warm locality rob ins in plenty, several bluebirds and | once a couple of red-wing blackbirds, | which in summer are to be seen here | by the hundreds.

Very little news was received by
the steamer this morning and as
usual we are asked TO wait for dev.
elopments by the next" steamer.
The sweeping victory OF the Amer
lean fleet over the Spanish fotlla at
Manila has naturally been hailed
with enthusiastic satisfaction in the
States and all countries in sym
pathy with the great republic.
The Joy is naturally so much
greater as no loss OF life on the Am
erican side has been recorded.
The victory is Of Importance to
Hawaii not alone because the islands
are now reasonably safe from any
trouble with Spanish warships but
because it has now been we'll demon
s,rated that Hawaii is not a neces-
sary strategic point to the United
States and that excuse for annexing
the islands has fallen to the grounds
Our special dispatches state that
there is not one chance in a hundred
that Hawaii will be annexed even
during the warlike enthusiasm which
has taken possession of America
The "next" steamer will be expected
with intense interest by everybody
here.

TUESDAY, MAY II, 1898.
AN UNIDENTIFIED POLICY.

The cable bill passed the Senate
this morning in the teeth of the
strong opposition of the Cabinet.
The action Of the senators who sup.
ported the bill is very remarkable,
The bill in its original shape grant
ed an exclusive franchise to the Pa
cfic Cable Co. for a cable between
Hawaii and Asia, during term Of
twenty years. When the cable
question few months ago came up
in the U. S. Congress, there was a
decided opposition to the granting
of any exclusive franchise in connec-
tion with an American -Asiatic cable,
and the Hawaiian Government was
duly notified Of the objection of the
U. S, Administration to exclusive
franchises. Our Government wisely
opposed the charter asked by the
Pacific Gable Co., represented here
by General Hartwell, but stronger
influences prevailed, and, as stated,
the Senate has passed the bill with
few amendments.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-05-17

In its present shape the bill
grants a charter to the Pacific Gable
Co., provided the U. S. Congress
grants it similar charter within six
months from the passage of the bill
by the Hawaiian Government. 1t
means that Hawaii will tie herself
up in favor OF that special company
during the next six months, policy
which, under existing circumstanc
is far from being wise, if cable is
honestly desired. There are two ap-
plications for cable charters before
the U. S. Government; which Of
them will get it, we cannot tell; but
one thing is reasonable to expect,
namely, that this is the moment
when charter will be given and
the construction OF cable will take
place at once. Should the charter
not be granted to the Pacific Gable
Co., and it holds even six months
exclusive rights in Hawai-, the pros
poets are that we will be ignored
altogether and the cable once more
slip from us.

Dewey at Manila.

A beautiful sight
From Orient's sea
Ii marked on the night.
'Tis "Ships, follow mel"
On Dewey's own deck
Revenge in his might,
Ia waiting to wreck,
But waits not the light.
Still nobody knew,
Not even the night
What Dewey would do,
Or how he would fight.
His men are the kind
Who never turn back.
Their ships close behind,
Olympia's track.
Those ships in the dark,
Like men in a tunnel,
Now welcome the spark
That flies from that funnel.
Manila's awake
But not with the sun.
1t is with the quake,
The boom OF the gun.
Now ships burn low
With tyrants from Spain;
For Dewey, we know,
Remembers the Maiue."
Tom MoGIFFIN
Honolulu, May IL, 1898.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1898-05-17

The provision in the bill that any
cable charter granted by Hawaii must
have the approval OF the Secretary Of
State OF the United States, places
Hawaii in very undignified and
humiliating position. Hawaii is an
Independent power, and it is pre-
posterous proposition that the laws
made by us should be submitted to
another government for approval,
We compliment the Cabinet on its
firm stand in this matter, which in
cidentally disclosed the hitch be-
tween Mr., Dole, who is influenced"
in favor Of the bill and his Cabinet
officers 1t will be interesting to
watch whether Mr., Dole will veto
the bill by the advice OF his Cabinet
or follow his own mind and sign it
without the approval of his Cabinet
or return it unsigned to become law
through lapse of ten days. If he
does, the ghosts OF the monarchy
will have good laugh.
